The Rise of White : From Ash to Magic

Chaser with a Hint of Fear

TINA'S POV:

"In my defense I was left unsupervised" I whispered to Harry, who looked quite worried. Harry managed to give a weak smile, which looked more like a grimace.

"Excuse me, Professor Flitwick. May I borrow Wood?" said McGonagall. 

Oliver Wood came out of the class looking quite confused.

'Damn he is as cute as he was in the movies.' 

"Wood I've found you a Chaser and a Seeker" Minnie said excitedly.

'Wait. Hold up. WHAT!? Chaser? That wasn't there before. I mean I did always prefer the position of chaser, but the team's supposed to be complete. Meaning that there is someone who does not exist anymore because of my presence. I'll  ask the twins later.'

Wood was muttering something about Harry having the perfect build for a seeker and how to get us both new brooms.

Harry was relieved on the way back, but my thoughts were running wild.

"You're joking!" Ron cried.

It was dinner time. Harry had just finished telling him what had happened. Meanwhile, I was busy scouting the Gryffindor table. There was Angelina Johnson, beside the twins. I heard them calling her name. Beside Johnson was Katie Bell I suppose, since there was 'KB' embroidered on her bag

On the way back to Gryffindor tower, I stopped the twins. "Fred! George!"

"My, my. If it isn't our favorite first year. Congrats on making the team" said Fred.

"Thanks" I muttered.

"We're on the team too--"

"Yeah. Beaters, I'm guessing?" I said feigning ignorance.

"How did--?Did Wood tell you?" asked George.

"No. It was an educated guess. Ron's always going on about how you guys play Quidditch and you said you'd get in the team. And you two do look like the type to be Beaters." I said. 

"Do you know Alicia?"

"Who?" asked George.

"Alicia Spinnet."

"Never heard of her. Have you, Fred?"

"Never" answered Fred.

"You're 100 percent certain?"

"We assure you we have never heard of this Alicia" they said in unison.

I thanked them and ran to my room and face planted into my bed.

I did have my suspicions regarding the consequences of my presence in this universe, but to find out that another's existence is wiped out because of me is still overwhelming to say the least. This could either change the whole story or change absolutely nothing. I desperately hope its the latter. 

 'Why does it matter if the story is changing?' asked Consy.

I knew the answer to that. It wasn't an eye-opening discovery or anything. I'd always known the answer to that. I just didn't want to admit it out loud. Knowing everything felt good, extremely good. It was like having a superpower, knowing the future, knowing all the answers to the mysteries. It gave me a feeling of superiority, a feeling I didn't want to give up.

 Back in my world I was helpless. I could do nothing to protect myself from the abuse. I couldn't protect myself much less others. Here I had the opportunity, strength and means to protect not just myself but also others, who deserved a better ending than the one they were given.

Knowing things helps me. I can plan, prevent the tragedies that are meant to happen. But if things were to change, I wouldn't know anymore, it could possibly end in disaster.

'Girl fearing the unknown is a normal human trait. And you girl are human, no matter how much you wish you weren't. Beside why fear when I'm hear? We'll figure things out as they come and I don't think this is a major change.' said Consy.

'Thanks Consy'

'You're welcome. Now for the love of Lady Magic go to sleep. Only she knows how much you need that beauty sleep. But even that wont be enough to fix your face'

  'Hey! You're me you know...'
