Slytherin Sweetheart

Chapter Twenty Three

Y/n was nervous all week. She'd been spending a considerably more amount of time practicing. When Tom couldn't she'd go out and do everything by herself. She hated these nights but she knew he didn't do it on purpose, he had his own life. Tonight was her last practice before the game. Tom had taught her she couldn't practice the night before because she needed to save all her energy. Tom had helped her master everything and felt confident she'd do great. "Come on angel that's enough for today, you're more than ready." Tom said. Y/n didn't want to stop as she was nervous that she'd mess up or lose. She'd never done anything like this before so she didn't know how to act or deal with the stress. She decided to just talk to Tom and he was very helpful. "Doll if I didn't think you were ready, you wouldn't be duelling, especially not on my team. I hate losing." Tom said chuckling. Y/n made him pink promise she was ready and then they went in for the night. Y/n went to Toms dorm to look through his closet for some dueling equipment. He told her she'd need her arms and legs covered and to wear stuff that had give. She decided on a pair of leggings she already had and a black long sleeve shirt. She then found some black boots in Tom's closet that fit her. She also borrowed a pair of green gloves he had from third year. He told her she shouldn't need anything else but she secretly grabbed one more thing out of Tom's closet before leaving.
