After a bit everyone gathered on the field. "You excited?" Harry asked walking up to us. "Yeah," I said looking past him. Hermione and Ron had stayed behind and once again Ron had this judgy face.

"Harry, could you tell me, why Ron hates me so much?" I turned back to Harry. "He doesn't hate you, he just doesn't know you," he said, like it made it any better.

"To me it seems like he doesn't want to know me either," I looked past him again. "He's just worried you know,"

"Worried for what? That I'm bad?"

"No! It's just..." he didn't finish his sentence. I sighed frustrated, but didn't talk about it anymore.

I didn't like the fact that Ron didn't like me, but also I couldn't really do anything about it.

My thoughts were interrupted by Madam Hooch, who came onto the field and told everyone to pick up their brooms.

"Up!" Everyone said and soon everyone were in the air. "Today, as I promised we'll have a obstacle course," she said.

She showed us how to do the course and then it was our turn. We had to go with pairs. Me and Cedric instantly looked at eachother and so it was decided.

We went into the line and waited for our turn. Two pairs before us made it look fairly easy actually, so I was confident.

"Diggory and Y/ln, you're up," Hooch waved at us. "Let's do this!" Cedric said and we flew towards the course.

"Under or over it?" I asked looking at the first obstacle. "I'll go under you go over," he said. "Okay!"

I flew over the obstacle and we made it to the next, which was slalom. We were supposed to go different sides, so I continued a little higher than him.

We got through that and moved onto the next one. And then another one. The end was close and we had been very good.

Last obstacle was to throw the ball to each other ten times, without dropping it. But it was a very small ball. The size of a Snitch almost.

I grabbed the ball first and trew it at Ced. He obviously caught it thanks to his seeker skills. "Catch it!" He yelled and threw it my way.

I flew around a little to definitely catch it. "Shit," I said quietly when I couldn't catch the ball. It was falling down, but I quickly flew after it.

I was going as fast as I could, but just as it was gonna touch the ground I grabbed it and sprinted back up.

"Nice save!" Cedric laughed and caught the ball that I threw. Other throws went well and I caught every single one of them.

"Best time right now," Madam Hooch looked at us when we finished the course.

"Yess!" I said when I flew to Ced to high five him. "I told you we're gonna kill it," he laughed and we flew back to others.

"That was very good," Harry flew next to us. "Now watch me beat it," he said jokingly and got ready to do the course.

"I still can't believe I actually caught the ball without it touching the ground," I said.

"I can't believe you didn't fall off your broom," I heard from behind. Me and Ced right away turned around to see Merroy.

Why was Merroy always there to ruin the good moments?! "Let's see how you'll do," Cedric responded to him.

"You'll see! Let's go Pansy!" He turned to Pansy. "I'm going with Draco," she replied looking at Draco who was right next to him.

"We can go together," one Slytherin girl said. "Okay," he was fine with it and skipped the line to go to the course.
