Alice Black and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Chapter 11

Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo everyone alright? Good 'cause I'm not. I just got my tragus pierced and let me tell you something, IT FUCKING HURTS UGGGGGGHHHH! I did it two hours ago and I feel like my ear is dying. The guy at the store said it was normal but DAMN GOD I AM GOING TO CRY! While he was piercing it I freaking heard the "crunch" my cartilage made when the earing passed through it.

Ok I'm done complaining now. I do not own Harry Potter, if I did, Voldemort would have gotten his tragus pierced in every chapters HAHAHAHHAHAHA! Shut up.

Deliberately put the recent A/N after the old one because I wanted all the focus to be on how funny I thought I was back then.

The next days passed quickly and before they knew it, October had already arrived and Alissa had officially incorporated their little group. People still stared, whispered and gossiped about her and the fact that Alissa Black was now friends with Harry Potter was almost worsening things. It sometimes bothered Harry since, when you got to know her, Alissa was simply hilarious. He didn't get how people could actually hate someone as nice as her. Alissa didn't seem to care one bit, she was just happy to have friends. She had told them that back in Russia and back in France, people were harsh with her but she still managed to get plenty of friends. She said that she had been a bit taken aback by the coldness of people in Great Britain and Harry had suddenly felt very ashamed of his country. Hermione was probably the most happy of them all, she and Alissa had became very close, always whispering and giggling together. Although those two were now practically best friends, it didn't prevent her from being great friends with Ron, they always had the funniest yet the most random conversations. The relationship she had with Harry was a bit weird, Harry sometimes felt like he had known her for ages, seeing some of her reactions gave him a feeling of déjà vu. It was weird since he had only known her for a couple if weeks. After a while, Harry just brushed it off thinking it was just a sign that they were meant to be friends. Despite this happy new friendship, Harry had something else in mind right now: the Quidditch season was soon beginning. Oliver Wood, the team's Keeper and Captain had scheduled a meeting to discuss their new tactics for the year and also, to introduce them their new Chaser. Alicia Spinnet had told Oliver at the beginning of the year that she needed to focus of her N.E.W.T.S if she wanted to be a Healer and would be now unable to keep up with all of the Quidditch practises.

"So I held secret tryouts the other morning and found us a new Chaser!" Oliver said pacing in front of the team, minus the new Chaser in question. "And I must say that she is bloody fantastic on a broom."

"Oh so it's a she eh?" Fred said.

"A pretty one?" George asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"We are not here to flirt! We are here to win to house cup! It is our last chance- my last chance to win it, I will be gone next year and I want to win it no matter what!" Oliver said seriously.

"And were is she exactly?" Angelina asked.

"She's coming. But about that... You might all get a bit surprised by who I chose but-" Oliver began.

"Sorry I'm late, the uniform fitting took longer than expected!" A voice said. They all turned around and Harry couldn't believe it. It was Alissa. She was their new Chaser!

"Alissa!" Harry exclaimed.

"And she flies!" The twins said together.

"Her? You chose her?" Angelina said dumbfounded.

"What's wrong with me?" Alissa asked putting her hands on her hips.

"Nothing's wrong with anyone as long as we win that bloody house cup!" Oliver said loudly. "Put your differences aside and go get your brooms! The training starts now!" Angelina grumbled under her breath and Katie shot an unsure look at Alissa. The twins were reciting a poem in Alissa's honor and Harry was just too dumbfounded to say anything. Alissa had never mentioned Quidditch and here she was, playing Chaser! But Oliver said she was good and Merlin knows he has high standards! And like that, Harry found himself walking to the Quiddditch pitch with his new teammate and friend, their brooms swung on their shoulders. Ron was not going to believe it.

Harry stood in front of the girl's locker room still amazed by what he had just seen. When Oliver had said that Alissa was 'bloody fantastic on a broom', he hadn't been lying. Alissa looked like she had been born on a broomstick, it was as simple as that. Harry had caught himself more than once staring as she gracefully flew around the pitch while they were doing their usual laps. She had left the whole team taken aback after the practise, they expected her to be good, but not that good! After a few minutes of waiting, Alissa finally came out of the locker room and smiled sheepishly at Harry.

"You owe me an explanation, young lady." He said taking McGonagall's usual tone when she was about to punish someone.

"Would it be best if I called my lawyer Mr. Potter?" she joked.

"I'm serious, where did you learn to fly like that?" He asked. "Why didn't you tell us you were so good at that?"

"I rode my first broom before I was even one year old! And my Grandfather always took me with him when I lived in Russia. When I arrived at Beauxbatons, I joined the Quidditch team and practised a lot!" She explained as the walked to Castle. "As for not telling you, well I didn't want you to think I was a show off or anything..."

"You're not a show off." Harry assured her. They walker in silence for a bit and Harry spoke up.

"I'm really happy you got on the team, I think everyone thinks so too. Angelina is just a bit stubborn but she'll get used to you." He said.

"I hope so, she seems very nice..." Alissa said. She then grinned at Harry. "And if she doesn't, It'll be her loss! She'll never get to be friends with someone as awesome as me!"

"Alice Black, you are way too full of yourself!" Harry said.

"Hey! I thought you said I weren't!" She exclaimed.

"I take it back then!" Harry laughed. Alissa's laughter died and she looked at him curiously.

"Wait, what did you call me?" She asked and Harry felt his face grow warm.

"Erm... I heard Lupin call you Alice the other day and figured that since we were... You know... Friends, I could call you that as well? But if you don't want me too I-" He began but he was cut off by her.

"Call me Alice, we're friends after all. And Ron and Hermione can call me that too!" She smiled. He returned her smile and his friend Alissa became Alice. They continued to walk to their common room. When they reached it, Ron and Hermione were both waiting for them. Before any of them had the chance to say anything, Harry spoke up.

"Guess who's our new Gryffindor Chaser?" he asked as he twirled Alice around. Hermione squealed and Ron's jaw dropped.

"I can't believe it!" He said.
