- Slytherins Beauty -

Chapter 10

- Blaise POV -

In all my years of life, I've never seen a woman so outraged before, sure my mother has gone off her nutter a fair few times at her innumerable husband's but never as bad as what I'm witnessing from Circe and Draco today.  I've never seen Circe this furious before, Yeah she's got mad once or twice but this is indefinitely different, I can literally feel the frustration radiating off her. Same with Draco, he normally holds most of his rage in but he isn't keeping anything back, when these two are in foul moods nothing can stop them. Merlin above they are a force to be reckoned with.

I wholeheartedly agree with them. Why should Potter get everything handed to him on a golden platter? Being good at something and being lucky are two different things, mother's third husband taught me that.

Draco and Circe on the other hand have put hours and hours of training into hopefully making it into the Slytherin team then Potter shows up and literally shits on their hard work and makes it on the Gryffindor team by catching a glass ball.

I would never admit it out loud but we all know Draco has a better chance of making it than Circe does all because he's a male, there's never been a female on the Slytherin side. Circe would have to be the luckiest witch in Hogwarts if Flint even bats her an eye of approval. Salzar it's even frowned upon for a pureblood female to even ride a broom.

My heart breaks for Circe, she's put up with so much for her whole life and worked so hard for the things she loves and then being told that someone was handed a position in a quidditch team without working for it. It's simply outrageous!  

Even if we come from some of the wealthiest pure-blood families we still have to work to be the best.

Only by working hard will we be rewarded

We aren't considered worthy of second chances

It's survival of the fittest in our world

Yes, we protect our own, but there's only so much we can do...

I have a plan.

- The next day -

-

- Circe's POV -

I've noticed everyone's been on edge today, first Crabbe and Goyle didn't eat breakfast this morning, Blaise was spacing out in his favorite class (potions), Daphne and Theo have been considerably quiet today and Draco wasn't at breakfast or potions.

What's going on today?

I understand that yesterday was horrible but I've cooled down since then so it can't be what happened yesterday... mabey potter or Weasley were being twats again. Merlin help me If that's what's happened.

Entering the common room I walked up to Blaise leaning against the leather chairs reading a book In his right hand.

"Hey Blaise what's up with everyone today?" I questioned, Blaise snapped back into reality shutting his book "Huh what do you mean?" he gave me a concerned expression I looked right back at him, he's hiding something.

"I don't know what you talking about Hermosa..." Blaise shrugged avoiding eye contact. "Blaise.." I urged with a stern voice, "n-nothing's going on I didn't plan anything-" his eyes suddenly went wide and he twisted his mouth shut.

He blinked once, twice then three times at me before turning on his heels and started sprinting away from me. My eyebrows twisted in confusion 'What in the Salzar Slytherin is going on' I thought.

I then took off chasing him, Blaise is fast but not as fast as me, I was on his tail swerving through crowds of students, running out of the dungeons and through the corridors until we were outside and he had nowhere to run, I had cornered him.

"Okay Blaise, here's what's going to happen, your gonna tell me what is going on before I do something you won't fancy" I huffed, Just as I took a step closer he pulled out his wand, "you wouldn't!" I growled "I would!" he smirked.

With a flick of his wand, Blaise levitated me into the black lake using the spell we were taught in Charms. "I'm sorry Hermosa but I can't tell you anything, Draco will have my head!" Blaise yelled, he then proceeded to run back to the castle. "I'll hex you when I find you, Blaise!" I yelled, my words made Blaise scramble faster to the castle.

"oh ho ho when I get you Blaise I'm gonna!" I began to make choking gestures with my hands.

It's now lunchtime and I haven't been able to catch Blaise, as a matter of fact every time I approached someone in our group they either ran away or disappeared around a corner. 'This is really pissing me off!' I thought.

Just as I rounded a corridor I saw Blaise and Draco for the first time today, I jumped and grabbed a third-year Hufflepuff girl to hide me. I wasn't gonna let Blaise or Draco get away from me this time.

Slowly I used the Hufflepuff girl as cover as I snuck up behind the two. I then jumped out behind the girl headlocked the two and wrestled them to the ground.

"Tell me what's going on now before I hex you both into Oblivian!" I yelled squeezing the two between my arms. "Okay okay you got us Hermosa just let us go!" Blaise yelped, I let go. "It was a matter of time before you caught us " Draco coughed, "Okay... tell me now" I whispered impatiently. 

"Okay, so I've been talking to older Slytherins and I got the information that the Slytherin tryouts were today anyway, Crabbe and Goyle were supposed to keep an eye on you and tell us where you were at all times but they got distracted by food In the Great Hall. Next was to get permission for the tryouts from Dumbledore, which was Theo's and Daphne's roles, Before all of this I sent Draco on a secret mission to Diagon Alley to get you a broom and Quidditch gear. Because Crabbe and Goyle were preoccupied I was to keep you busy while all of this happened." Blaise had his arms crossed and his nose high in the air with a smug look on his face.

"So what was the point of this plan?" I asked "For such a smart girl, Merlin you're daft sometimes. The point was to get you into the Slytherin Tryouts today Hermosa" Blaise flashed me a smile known for making girls swoon. "Wait you want me to try out!" I gasped.

"Exactly!" Blaise said in a matter-of-fact tone, "B-but", "there's so If's or butts Circe your gonna do this for both of us!" Draco exclaimed.

"But what about you? I thought we would try out together" I questioned looking unsure at Draco, "Don't worry about me I can try out next year!" He beamed. "Trust me Flint would have to be a twit to not accept you on the team" A certain warmness fluttered in my stomach it was the same feeling I got when Isabella hugged me or when my friends and I spent sleepless nights together envisioning our future together.

"Fine, I'll try out but only because you guys went to all this trouble" I sulked, and they pulled me into a hug. "You better hurry or you'll be late love" Draco whispered, I hugged them both tighter "You guys are the best!" I whispered to them both.

I grabbed the Nimbus 2000 and the quidditch gear out of Draco's arms running to the changing rooms. I'll do this for them.

Always for them.

I finished changing and was about to walk out onto the field instead stopping in my tracks "I hope you're watching guys I'll make you all proud" I spoke out loud holding the family crest around my neck.

!!CLIFFHANGER!!
