The first quidditch game of the season.

Slytherin VS Gryffindor.

My house VS my brother and Sister's house, who both happens to be on the opposing team.

In the end, I decided on sleeping in my own dorm, in my own bed for the first in a long time, things may be better if, hopefully, I'm on good terms with Parkinson, key word is defiantly hopefully, as you can never really depend on anything with Pansy Parkinson. One day she could be the closest person you can rely on, the next, she could be attempting to carve curse words into your bones, gruesome, but I wouldn't put it past her.

Without giving my mind a chance to think. I got dressed to go up to the Great Hall for breakfast, to cheer on my siblings before the game, I guess today I'm team Gryffindor, after getting ready, I grabbed my hat, scarf, gloves and wand, rushing out the door as I changed the Green and silver to red and gold. I heard the door opposite my dorm creak open as a tired looking Theodore rubbed his eyes with a yawn, looking as if he was trying to detect a noise that could possibly have woken him up.

"Out of the way, Nott" Malfoy pushed past him, dressed in his Slytherin jumper, ready for the day, Blaise also following. They all paused as they caught sight of me and what I was doing.

"Wow" Malfoy scoffed, eyeing up the red and gold accessories. "Less than a day, Guess she moves on fast Nott" He elbowed my "ex-boyfriend".

He too scoffed before walking back into his dorm and shutting the door.

"Both my brother and sister are on the team, you pretentious prick, Malfoy, you might of known that if your head wasn't shoved so far up your arse" I glared at him, before walking down the corridor.

I heard Blaise chuckle behind me.

I tried making them disappear from my mind, for now, today was about Quidditch, and Ron and Ginny winning, with the help of the other members of their team of course.

Walking into The Great Hall, I made my way to the loud Gryffindor table, ignoring the sounds of my own house booing and hissing at the competition.

"How is he?" I mouthed to Harry, who was sat next to my twin brother.

"Not great, practise has been awful" He muttered back "He'll be great, I believe in you, Ron" He said loud enough for Ron to think it was his response.

"Hmmmph" Ron groaned, hitting his head on the table.

I sat down next to my brother as I piled food onto his plate.

"Cheer up, Ron! "Lavender Brown said to him "I know you'll be brilliant!"

"You hear that Ron? you have a cheerleader" I grinned at him, nudging his arm with my elbow, but he just ignored us both. Wonder if it would be a different response if a bushy-haired witch had happened to have tried to make him feel better.

"Tea?" Harry asked him "Coffee? Pumpkin juice?"

"Anything" Ron replied mopily.

"Oh, I would love some coffee please, Harry" I nodded at him, whilst he was offering.

He rolled his eyes before also filling me a cup.

Hermione then walked into the Great Hall, looking apprehensive as she made her way over to us.

"How are you both feeling?" She asked Ron and Harry, but she payed more attention to Ron.

"Fine" Harry replied, fiddling with the glass of pumpkin juice he had poured for Ron before passing it over to him. "There you go, Ron. Drink up!"
