chapter six - seeker

Time has passed and now I can finally get myself to the quidditch tryouts. If I'm being honest, I've never really played it, but I'd like to consider myself a good sport when needed.

I'm making my way towards the quidditch field and there's a few more people than expected who are trying out for the seeker role. I look around for Imelda.

There she is.

''Y/N, you actually came.''

''Of course I did, I didn't think this many people would be here though.''

''Well, many people want to become a seeker. But between the two of us, I don't think any of them will make it.''

I giggle a bit at her remark.

''I'll be counting on you to do your best, the captain is rather picky.''

''Where is the captain?'' Furrowing my brows.

''He's usually here around now, you should know who he is.''

I wonder who it could be.

''Sorry, I lost track of time.'' A panting slytherin boy comes over.

''You should really be here on time, anyway, Y/N here is trying out for seeker. I have high hopes for her.'' She winks.

I turn to the captain and my face goes pale.

''You're the captain?''

Sebastian Sallow is the captain, why am I not surprised.

''Of course I am, is there a problem with that.''

Any other time I would say there is a problem but I actually would like to be on the team, so I am taking no risks.

I muster up a smile, ''There's no problem whatsoever.''

''That's what I thought.'' Smirking;

I would love to wipe that smug look off his face.

''Okay, everyone trying out, form a circle.'' Sebastians gathers everyone together.

''We are going to pick you out one by one, this is not an easy role so try your best.''

We all nod.

After what seemed like forever, it was finally my turn.

''Okay Y/N, I don't expect you to be as good as the others but just play at your best.''

He is pissing me off now, 'I don't expect you to be as good as the others', that's got me rather riled up now.

''Whatever you say, Sallow.''

I grab my broom and wait for the whistle to blow,

The whistle blows.

This damn snitch, where is it. I speed around looking for a little measly sphere.

In the blink of an eye, I lock on to it. I speed up my broom making sure I don't lose eye contact with it.

Merlin's beard, it's rapid.

I grip my broom as I accelerate further.

I stretch my arm hoping to grab the shimmering snitch but it's not enough. I give my broom one final thrust and..

I grab it.

Cheers erupt around me.

I swoop down to the ground, Imelda comes up to me.

''That was brilliant Y/N! That was one of the best performances I've seen all day.'' Imelda almost shows a smile.

I search my surroundings for a certain someone.
