The Last Gaunt:Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets [Book 2]

Chapter VIII: Meeting Puddy in The Undercroft

Kieran's POV

                              A few days later, after a Charms class, Kieran noticed Professor Flitwick holding Zach back. I was curious but shrugged it off, right now I had something else in mind, asking Puddy what he had found out, but first I need to have alone practice with the Quaffle. I made my way to the Quidditch Pitch, It was empty right now, so I took it as an opportunity to practice. I went to the broom shed where Kieran had hidden his Nimbus two thousand and one since he didn't feel comfortable having it in the common room. He grabbed the Broomstick and began doing some laps around the quidditch pitch before I asked for the Quaffle to practice with it. While I was doing the laps I noticed, that Pucey, Gabrielle, and Hector approached the Quidditch pitch. Pucey had the Quaffle in one hand in his other hand he had his broomstick 
                                                                      "Cunningham? What are you doing here?" He asked as I went to a complete stop mid lap and flew towards him 
                                                                      "Getting some alone extra lessons" I said truthfully "What about you?"
                                                                      "Non of your business Cunningham!" He said a bit too defensive. 
                                                                       "Why is Gabrielle and Hector with you?" I asked him 
                                                                       "Well Granger just came along without and Invitation and Im just doing a favor for Rodriguez" He said before he looked at Hector and Gabrielle "Where is Richardson!?" He asked 
                                                                       "He should have been here" Gabrielle said 
                                                                         "Maybe he forgot?" Hector said shrugging 
                                                                       "Or maybe," I began "Just maybe he was hel behind by Professor Flitwick" I explained "Give him a bit of time to arrive..." I pulled out my pocket watch "Like 5 minutes."
                                                                        "He appear fast" Pucey growled. 
                                                                       "Why are you waiting for Zach?" I asked Pucey "He is a Gryffindor"
                                                                        "Non of your business" He barked. 
                                                                       "He is doing me a favor" Gabrielle said "Training Zach to be a good Chaser for the Gryffindor team."
                                                                       "Wait what?" I asked "Why?" 
                                                                       "I didn't want to but look at her" Pucey said still a mid mad but pointing at Gabrielle "She can be scary" 
                                                                       "Oh definately I agree" I said akwardly "Also why don't you train me? I am your team mate"
                                                                      "Ugh... this is why i didn't wanted to train Richardson" He huffed "Where is he anyway?" 
                                                                          "I'll go get him!" Hector said as he left the pitch.
                                                                         "While you wait..." I began "We could practice together not waste more time..."
                                                                        "Alright Cunningham" Pucey said defeated "finish you laps and then your job will be trying to take the Quaffle off my hands" He said as I nodded and went to finish my laps. After I finished my laps I started to do what Pucey told me to do, I tried to take the Quaffle from him, He was fast but I was just as Fasr as I tried to take the Quaffle from him. We tried this for a while until both grow tired and both fly to the ground just as Zach arrived 
                                                                          "Richardson, You are late." He said in a monotone voice.
                                                                          "I'm really sorry Pucey. I forgot about practice today I..." Zach said panting
                                                                        "I don't need excuses Richardson. I'm not like Wood. Since you forgot about today's section you'll give me 100 laps around the Pitch. We will have a really hard core class today" He said Still in a monotone voice. Zach nodded and climbed his broom and began doing laps.
                                                                          "A hundrer laps? Isn't that Harsh?" I asked Pucey.
                                                                          "shut it or youll have a hundrep laps aswell Cunningham" He growled at me
                                                                         "Alrighty" I responded.
