It was coming near the end of September and the notice for the Gryffindor Quidditch try outs was up on the notice board.
Fred and George were already on the team, they were beaters and some how they had persuaded me to try out for chaser.
Quidditch was very popular in my family, my dad was a HUGE fan. Quidditch is a wizarding sport played by witches and wizards on broomsticks. Basically Quidditch is equivalent to a Muggles passion for football.
Dad LOVES quidditch, he promised me he would take me to the next Quidditch world cup. Dad's favorite team is Bulgaria and to be honest I think its because of Viktor Krum, the youngest seeker in the world being only 15 years old.
"Soooooo, Sky your definitely trying out for Chaser, aren't you?" Fred asked me over breakfast one day. I nodded eagerly.
"Ahh, the two love birds are here already" Lee said as he sat down at the table with George, my face began to hear up and I could see a blush appearing on Freds cheeks also.
Ever since that night when we fell asleep on the couch together, George and Lee have been pestering us and they refuse to leave us alone it was over two bloody weeks ago!
"Shut up" I said staring at my breakfast which seemed to have become very interesting all of a sudden. George and Lee laughed at us.
"Guys, quidditch tryouts start next week, I'm gonna need yous to be there to help" a tall guy with a Scottish accent said appearing behind the two twins.
"We will Oliver" the twins chorused together. "Oh and meet Sky, she's trying out for Chaser" Fred said, nudging his head towards where I was sitting. I looked up from my plate to see a well built and burly 5th year.
"Nice to meet you, Sky" he told me as I shook his outstretched hand, "you too" I replied, returning the smile.
"So, your trying out for chaser?" Wood asked me as he sat down beside us. I nodded "well, I can't wait to see what skills you have, I'm the keeper" he told me as he started on his breakfast.
Oliver, me the twins and Lee burst into a long conversation on Quidditch. When Oliver stood up to leave he turned to us, "Oh, if you know anyone who wants to try out for seeker of hen tell then to come to tryouts, I've spent for ever trying to find someone and no one is good enough." He said before exiting the great hall.

It was now Friday, the day before the Gryffindor Quidditch tryouts and me and the Twins were sitting in Potions brewing a shrinking solution. Snape had announced we would be working with pairs and George had immediately ran to Lees side, winking at me as he sat down beside him. Meaning I was working with Fred. Dotn get me wrong I lobed working with Fred, probably more than should have, but, Fred really wasn't the best at potions
I shuffled over to the seat beside Fred and pulled out my cauldron, and weighing scales. " I'll go get the ingredients, Fred said to me before getting up and heading towards the storage cupboard. I looked over the recipe while I waited.
