The week flew past before me , and soon enough it was Saturday. As usual I had to get up early because of my quidditch team's training , so I got up and tried to get ready without waking up anyone else in the dormitory or common room. I tripped over some shoes that Daphne must have left out and I hoped it wouldn't wake anyone. I was lucky I didn't. Now that everyone was back at Hogwarts , i wouldn't be able to leave every Saturday and neither would Thomas so training was held on the Hogwarts quidditch field instead.
I went into the bathroom and I put my long hair up into a neat ponytail. I fixed my face to make it look more presentable as well. Once I was finished I headed down the stairs. I was lucky that another person from Hogwarts played professional quidditch ,otherwise it would be really awkward. Me and Thomas were the only ones, and it was convenient we were in the same house as each other.
We met each other in the lounge ,and we went out to the field where the rest of the team was. On the way there we spoke about lots of things. It was clear that Thomas was scared of bringing up what he said to me the other night, as it would have made things more awkward than it was already. It was obvious he was thinking about it ,but I didn't want to say anything.
Soon enough we met the rest of the team, and as normal we trained for 3 hours non-stop.
It was so tiring, and it was only 9:00 in the morning. I had a house quidditch match later as well -but I really couldn't be bothered for it.Training had finished, and I was debating whether it not to get changed before I are breakfast with the rest of the school- I was really muddy from training because it had been raining. I was probably going to get muddy again anyway later.
Thomas and I walked back to the Great Hall ,which took ages since we were so tired.
"Quidditch is literally going to take up my life this year" he said.
" yeah me too- although I promised my mum I would focus more on my studies" I replied.
"Haha.." He joked.I lost track of myself ,and I realised that I was staring at his beautiful deep green eyes. I realised and just looked away quickly.
He noticed I was of course.
" What are you looking at?" He said softly.
"Sorry I was just daydreaming.."Things seemed really awkward. To break the silence ,he moved on to another subject.
"I bet Pansy is still in bed, you know how lazy she can be it's 9:30" Thomas laughed.
"Yeah she can be a real bitch if you don't let her get the sleep she needs!" I said.
"..more than she is usually?.." He smiled back
" Haha sure"As we entered the great hall we could see that breakfast was laid out as it was usually. Me and Thomas sat down next to each other. He reached for the pumpkin juice as I did and I accidentally touched his hand -which felt more awkward to me than it should have done. He probably thought I did it on purpose which I did not.
Honestly.
At 10:00an the slytherin quidditch team had a meeting before our match, just to make sure we understood what we were doing. Our match started at 1:00pm.
To fill the time I between I decided I would work on my potions essay,which I had nearly finished.By 12:30 I met Thomas again and we walked to the quidditch match. It was against Gryfindor , I was sure that we would beat them.
The match had started and I'm sure I saved nearly 20 attempts to shoot and score. We were in the lead and all we needed was Malfoy to catch the snitch, then we would have won. To my surprise, he did for once so we actually won our first match of the season which was a great start. I had nearly got knocked off my broom at one point because the weather was terrible.
Everyone celebrated our win and we went to the changing rooms, where I got changed into some high waisted skinny jeans and a black lace short top,along with some black chelsea boots and frilly black socks.
As I was exiting I saw Thomas.
" Hey Avery, you still up for 7?" He spoke as he tried to hide a smile.
"Yeah sure" I replied.
"I'll see you in the common room then"
He nervously smiled and walked off with Flint.~.
Sorry this was sort of a filler chapter ,it will become better I promise -abigail x
