For You

VI. Flying Lessons

"Everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry up. Stick out your right hand over your broom, and say 'Up!" Madame Hooch yells at the first years.

Everyone quickly placed their hand over their brooms, some quietly yelling, some cautiously, and other demanding.

You looked at Cedric yelling at his broom angrily on the third try and you laugh silently,

"You really shouldn't be so rude you might hurt it's feelings." You tell him

He looks at you and give you an annoyed glare, "Think you could do better?"

"Maybe."

You place your hand over the broom and give a strong but kind "Up!" Towards it, almost immediately the broom comes up towards you and you give Cedric a smirk,

"Show off."

You look around and see that other students are glaring at you and some look impressed, Madam Hooch gives you a nod of approval, and you and her wait for the others to complete the first task,

"Alright now that everyone has got that finished on to mounting your broom."

Fred and George share a laugh and Madam Hooch gives them a glare,

"Now that you've got ahold of your broom, I want you to mount it, and grip it tightly, you don't want to be sliding off the end, when I blow my whistle, I want each of you to kick off the ground hard, keep your brooms steady, hover for a moment, then lean forward slightly, and then touch back down. On my whistle.. three,two..,"

Madam Hooch blows on her whistle and you and your fellow first years go flying up, some more then others, you look at one of your classmates whose almost got his whole body on the bottom side of the broom just waiting to fall, you laugh and Ced looks to where you were and shakes his head,

"Poor guy." He says laughing with you.

"Alright class that's enough, everyone keep their feet firmly on the ground."

You do so and watch Fred and George do so easily,

"We should all join the Quidditch team next year, don't you think Ced? It'd be so much fun!" You say excitedly.

He nods and looks at the twins,

"It's to bad we'd all have to go against each other though."

"That's what makes it interesting."

Flashback 2 Years Ago

"Cuts and bruises mother! Cuts; that I had to clean up! Bruises that I had to look at and make sure he had no broken bones, I am not a doctor nor even a nurse for that matter!" You yell angrily at your mother.

She looked at you sadly, "I know dear and I get that you're upset. Draco's mother is doing the best she can for him right now, but his fathers discipline is different from ours, and we can't do anything about other then look out for him when he's here, he trust you Ella."

"Father literally handles criminals, why can't he take away Lucius!" She yells, tears of anger coming down her face.

"It's not that easy bug, there's certain things that we can't explain, until your much older. All I can do know is tell you I'm sorry, we understand if you don't want to watch him anymore." She says with a sad look.

You shake your head rapidly, "N-no of course I'll watch him, whenever, I don't care, he can live here for all I care."

"We love you Ella."

"I know."

It's been two weeks since you've started Hogwarts and honestly it's starting to feel like home, your friends are amazing, and that's including Gemma and another Slytherin who you've become friends with, Daniella, she's in your grade and she's the only other Slytherin you've found that you can be around without wanting to hex them.

"Ella, are you coming to Hogsmeade, next week?" Daniella asks you sitting across from you on the bed, you nod and smile at the girl.

"Yeah I'm just waiting for my parents to send back the permission slip, I think Ross is sick or something he's been getting slow." You tell her.

She frowns, "I'm sorry El."

El, she's the first person to call you that and quite frankly you liked it, Daniella was a nice girl and really beautiful, she was taller then you, about three inches at-least and had gorgeous dark brown hair, with green eyes the color of emeralds, which many of the boys in your year of come to notice. Which Dani didn't seem to notice nor care when you told her,

"Where's Gemma?" She asks, you shrug your shoulders.

"She's supposed to help us study for first period, I'll never pass if that big idiot keeps drifting off to class before teaching anything."

"Nonsense! You've learned all about the great Goblin War." Gemma says coming to the room, causing you and Dani to laugh,

"Sorry I'm late, I was helping someone."

You looked at her and laughed,

"Yeah "helping" sure." You said

"Wouldn't happen to be that six year Ravenclaw would it?" Dani interrogates her.

Gemma blushes and shushes both of us,

"Do you want to pass the class or what?"
