‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"That's amazing, Y/N!"

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"It really isn't," said Y/N as she poked at the roasted potatoes on her plate. "It's just another burden."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Don't be like that," said Sophie, snagging one of Y/N's potatoes. "Being a Chaser in your first-year is so cool."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"But Y/N," Seraphina tilted her head, meeting Y/N's calm gaze. "I really didn't expect you to lose to Harry earlier."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Right — " Sophie's voice squeaked — inhaling the potatoes by accident, and she pounded on her chest to get them out of her system. "Merlin, that went down the wrong hole. But really, Y/N. No one expected Harry to have caught it."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Y/N was silent for a second, and she shrugged.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Well, I guess he's just good."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎The table was silent for a moment. Y/N was the only one moving while everyone else looked at her with gobsmacked expressions. Aurora's eyes widened ever so, and she looked at Y/N as if she had two heads. Y/N noticed the silence, then glanced up and furrowed her eyebrows at all the puzzled glances.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"What?" Y/N said, looking from one face to another.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Sophie swallowed the rest of the potato in her mouth and pointed her fork at her. "You just said Harry is good."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Yes."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"As in, Harry Potter."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Y/N frowned. "How many Harrys do you think there are in our year?"

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Aurora glanced at Seraphina, who was still staring at Y/N as though she had just announced that she would transfer to Gryffindor. "That's it?"

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"What else am I supposed to say?" Y/N shrugged and finally speared the potato she had been absentmindedly poking at. "He caught the Remembrall. I didn't."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Sophie leaned closer across the table. "You were ahead of him."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"I know."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"By quite a lot."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"I know."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"And you're telling us you just lost?"

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Y/N looked up from her plate. "That's what happened."
