The next morning Ottilia woke up with a hungover, but she had a potion that would make her feel better.
James had a quidditch game eleven o'clock against Ravenclaw. It was James first game as the Gryffindor team captain. Ottilia knew how much it would mean for him if he won his first game as captain.
"Good morning Captain," Ottilia said as she sat down at the table and served herself some breakfast. "I'll cheer for you."
"Don't forget to cheer for me," Marlene added as she sat down next to Ottilia.
"I'll cheer for the whole team," Ottilia assured.
"You better do," Marlene said.
"James, you should eat," Ottilia told him. James hadn't even touched his food on the plate. "You'll need the energy for the game. I understand that you're nervous, but not eating will make it worse."
"Eating will make me throw up," James said. "I can't lose my first game as captain."
"I promise you that you won't lose," Ottilia said. "Ravenclaw is an easy match."
"Their new seeker is kinda good," Peter said, who had just joined them at the table.
"You're not helping, Wormy," Ottilia hissed. Ottilia handed James an orange. "Here, eat this at least." James nodded and peeled the orange and ate a piece. "You don't have to worry about their seeker, when you're the best chaser gryffindor has seen in centuries." James smiled when Ottilia said that and he ate his orange.
The clock was a few minutes after ten and James and Marlene walked down to the changing room and Ottilia walked to the stands together with Sirius, Peter, Remus, Lily and Mary.
The two teams flew out on the pitch a few minutes before the game started and they got into their positions. James and Marlene played as chasers. Gryffindor had a new seeker this year it was a girl named Diana Everhart, she was small and it was to her advantage as seeker, but this was her first game and she was obviously nervous.
Madam Hooch was the referee and she blew the whistle and the game started. James got the Quaffle and he passed it to Marlene and she scored and Ottilia cheered.
The Ravenclaw seeker had seen the snitch and tried to catch it, but the gryffindor beaters Fabian and Gideon Prewett hit a Bludger at him and he lost the sight of the snitch. Now Diana saw the snitch instead and she started to chasing after it. After a little moment Diana catches the snitch and the students on the gryffindor stand started to cheer and applause.
Later that evening they celebrated their victory. Ottilia congratulated James and then she congratulated Diana.
"You're not going to congratulate me?" Marlene questioned.
"Of course I am, but if you keep asking I might skip it," Ottilia said and Marlene hit Ottilia's arm. "Ow! Okay, congratulations to your win."
"Thanks," Marlene said and gave Ottilia and a smile. Ottilia laughed and Marlene hit her once more.
"What?" Ottilia groaned. "Marls, I can hit you back if I want."
"Is that a threat?" Marlene asked and she put up a little act.
Ottilia and Marlene burst out laughing together.
"Sometimes I don't understand you two," James said and he shook his head.
"Are you calling us weird," Ottilia and Marlene said as they acted offended.
"Drama queens," James said and the girls laughed once more.
The next morning Ottilia and Marlene woke up late and Ottilia literally had a breakdown. Ottilia hated being late and she felt tears forming in her eyes.
"You're not going to be late if we run to class now," Marlene tells her Ottilia nodded and she wiped away her tears and they ran to DADA class.
The boys except Peter who didn't take DADA , stood in the corridor outside of the classroom.
"Where have you been?" Remus asked.
"We overslept," Marlene explained. Now Ottilia noticed how Sirius was looking at her eyes.
"Have you been crying?" Sirius asked her.
"No," Ottilia muttered.
"You have blank eyes," Sirius said.
"Fuck off," Ottilia muttered.
"She had a breakdown, because she thought she would be late," Marlene explained. The boys chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Ottilia asked and now she was angry instead.
"Nothing, but it's so you to have a breakdown, because you think you're coming late," Sirius said.
"I couldn't help it I was stressed," Ottilia told them and in that moment Professor Wilson opened the door to the classroom and they walked in through the door.
They continued with non verbal spells and today the boys made progress, even though it wasn't perfect it was still good, but Ottilias was perfect.
"Is this your hidden talent or something?" Remus questioned and Ottilia smiled at him.
"I've practiced before," Ottilia explained. "I did it at my practical O.W.L.S last term."
"Is that how you got straight O's?" Remus asked.
"I guess it helped," Ottilia said. "It takes a lot of practice. Here," Ottilia threw her wand to Remus and a moment later she had it in her hand again.
"You can do it without wand?" Remus was impressed.
"It takes a lot of practice, but to answer your question yes," Ottilia said. "I read in a book last year that a wand is just a tool for wizards to concentrate their magic and in Africa they actually don't use wands. So I gave it a shot and tried."
"You make things to sound easy," Sirius said as he joined their conversation.
"After a lot of practice it is," Ottilia said. "In these dark times you never know, if you get kidnapped and they take your wand, you must be able to fight without it. Magic isn't in the wand, the magic is in our body's." Now Professor Wilson walked over to them.
"Good job, Miss Aubry," he said. "Ten points to Gryffindor."
"Thanks," Ottilia smiled.
"Homework for next week will be the same as last week if you haven't managed to do it yet, but if you have I'll let you skip homework for this week, class dismissed," Professor Wilson said and they left the classroom.
A/n:
Okay, so this was a shorter chapter. I promise next one will be longer than this one. Anyways next chapter will be not so much of classes, I feel that I write so much in their classes.
Anyways I also wanted to capture that Ottilia hates being stressed and that's very much written from myself when I was in fifth grade and had breakdowns almost every day because I thought that I would be late.
By the way thanks for all votes and comments it helps me a lot.
ℒℴ𝓋ℯ,
