The 7th Generation

Chapter 5

I stood in line with my fellow Slytherins, Tori on my right, Blaise on my left. There was another row of broomsticks in front of us, which meant that another house was going to join us. Hopefully, it's the Hufflepuffs. They were the only nice people to us. And then, to damn Gryffindors walked out. Not all Gryffindors are shit, just, most of them. Anyway, Madam Hooch walked on the field and told us to say "Up!" to the broomstick, so it can rise up. Everyone said, "Up!" and only two brooms lifted, Potter's and mine. Tori was looking at me in shock. She got hers up on the fourth try. Once everyone was properly mounted on their brooms, Madam Hooch was about to blow her whistle, when Longbottom started hovering. He went up and down and fell on the floor. Madam Hooch rushed him to the hospital wing when Draco picked up Longbottom's Rememberall. Potter decided to be the big hero and tried to stop Draco. They both flew up in the air. I didn't want Potter to get the Rememberall, but I knew that Draco would get in trouble as well. So, what do I do? I fly up as well. I thought I would struggle to control the broom, but this wasn;t hard. It was a breeze! I flew up, close to Draco and told him, "If we get caught up here, we'll get points taken away from Slytherin. Just, liike, throw it or something." And that's what he did. Draco thew the clear ball and shot down. Potter went by so close to me that I pulled my broom up and flipped upside down and right side up in about 1 second. I heard a gasp. Before my mind could get around what I just "DAVIS! POTTER!"

Shit.

I flew down and met Potter on the ground. McGonagall walked inside the building and we followed her. We went to a room, where McGonagall told Potter to wait. Then, we went down to the dungeons. Fuck. She was gonna tell Snape. When we got to his office, McGonagall, knocked and went inside. Snape was sitting at his desk writing something. He looked up and saw us. McGonagall said, "I saw Davis do something impressive. No matter how much I want to beat you for the Quiditch cup, I play fair. You may want to consider this girl for your team. Do you have a Pensieve?" Snape opened a large cupboard and pulled out a Pensieve. I read about Pensieves in "Fascinating Magical Objects, their uses, and their history". McGinagall extracted a silver memeory and placed it in the Pensieve. She left just as Snape submerged his face into the Pensieve. After seeing the momory, Snape told me to sit down.

I did.

Snape said, "Based on what you did on that broom, you seem worthy to be a Chaser on our team. However, I need to see what you can do for myself. Also, you can't join the team until next year. So, practice for one week. On Friday next week, I will see you fly on the Quidittch pitch. Understand?" I nodded. "You are dismissed." I got up and left.

When I sat down in a comfy chair in the common room, I understood what Snape meant. If I fly well enough to meet his standards, I might be on the Slytherin Quidittch Team. Wow.

Speaking of Quidditch, the first match was in 3 days, Slytherin against Gryffindor. I couldn't wait.
