Never say Never

Chapter 3

We walked in silence for a bit before Mattheo cleared his throat, I turned to him "Do you think its too late to sign up for the quidditch team?" He asked. I thought for a second before replying, "Well, normally trials are held at the start of the year, there are only ever later trials if a player is injured or dropped from the team. But I'm sure if you asked Madame Hooch she would make an exception." He shrugged, "Alright I'll ask her, Are you on the team?" I nodded "I'm a chaser, my brother is seeker, Theo is keeper and all the rest are older years." He nodded and we walked on.

Suddenly, I gasped "Actually there will be trials! Alex was on the team, he was a beater and they cant hold his position much longer, there are  games coming up!" He looked at me "Well I guess I'm trying out for beater then."

We got back to the common room and I immediately went and sat in my favourite armchair by the fire, I grabbed the book from the table that I had left there earlier and began reading. The fire was crackling and gave the room a more cosy feel to it. I was really enjoying my book book so far, it was a muggle classic called 'Anne of Green Gables' I loved the main character, she was always standing up herself and spoke her mind without faltering. I wished I was more like Anne, she never cared what people thought and quite often found herself the cleverest in a room.

I must have drifted to sleep because I woke with a start when I heard a flurry of footsteps hurrying up the stairs. I opened my eyes to see what appeared to be half the house walking through the room, the feast must have ended. I scanned the crowd for my friends and spotted them trudging along side everyone else, when they spotted me they walked over.

"What are you reading?" Pansy asked, trying to get a glimpse at the cover, "Anne of Green Gables." I replied "It's a muggle classic, it's very good!" They all sat down. "What do you guys think of the new kid? I don't trust him." Theo said looking around at us all, Enzo shrugged, Pansy was the first to reply, "I don't know, he seem nice enough." I nodded in agreement.

Theo walked off once he realised we all agreed, for some reason he really didn't like Mattheo, I wasn't sure why, there was nothing obvious to dislike about him other than his father. Although we couldn't blame him for who his father was, it wasn't his choice! "I'm gonna head to bed now." I said before heading up the stairs.

I headed into to my room and got ready for bed. I jumped onto my mattress and snuggled beneath the covers before falling asleep.
