The Other Potter

Chapter 61

Romilda stayed true to her word and while I sulked in my chair she did my hair platting underneath up to a high ponytail while I sat miserably in my chair. A tentative nock on the door a short while later was unexpected and Mary opened the door to reveal Ann-Marie on the other side.

"Hey Ann-Marie, what's up?" Ginny asked reluctantly, if the look on Ann-Marie's face was anything to go by than we really didn't want to know. "Snape demanded a rematch from McGonagall" Ann-Marie said with a sour look on her face making my stomach drop at the thought.

OH NO!

"We have a little under an hour to eat, get dressed and be waiting at the entrance to the Great Hall" Ann-Marie explained causing Ginny and I both to groan while Romilda started spraying more hairspray over my hair resulting in me coughing a little.

"Enough hairspray?" I questioned Romilda still coughing while Ginny asked Ann-Marie if she had eaten. "You want your hair to fall out during whatever medieval drills those two professors have you running today?" Romilda asked sarcastically shaking the hairspray bottle before unleashing it on me again.

"No, not yet. I'll get dressed and meet you in the common room?" Ann-Marie asked and Ginny nodded before agreeing and started putting her freshly straightened hair up into a bun while Ann-Marie left the room. "Great. Juuuuust Great!" I said sarcastically.

Now I'd have to face Draco no matter what!

Ginny and I quickly dressed in short workout shorts and grey tank tops, The entire time Mary and Romilda were laughing at us. Ann-Marie was already down in the common room waiting for us. She had on similar back short workout shorts and a hot pink tank top with her blond hair pulled back in two braids.

"I'm still so sore from yesterday" Ann-Marie said in way of greeting. "I can't believe this is happening again" I said in disbelief as the five of us headed down towards the Great Hall. We were definitely going to need the energy.

I was happy upon walking into the Great Hall and noticed that the Slytherin team was missing. If nothing it meant that I was allowed to prolong the awkward confrontation between Draco and I. 'Plus there was always Blaise to consider' I thought to myself as I began sticking into my breakfast. How could my own brother not believe me?! JERK!

"What in the world" Ginny murmured one McGonagall had lead us outside near the lake. The Slytherin's were already down there warming up and I took a moment to admire Draco in his shorts and T-Shirt. All the team had bandages wrapped around their forearms that were in Slytherin Green. "Probably to hide their dark marks" Ron had muttered as we began warming up.

There seemed to be an obstacle course of sorts set up which made me slightly happy – it sure beat having to run laps again.

"This activity will require full team work and if any of you expect to play tomorrow I expect for you to all give complete one-hundred percent" McGonagall was telling us before conversing with Snape before telling us the rules.

I tried to ignore the glares most of the Slytherin's were sending my way choosing instead to converse quietly with Ginny and ignore Harry's question as to what was going on.

Soon enough we were lined up before setting off.

First up – A wooden wall that was standing higher than any of us but low enough that you could jump and grab on to the top. The Slytherin's were on what seemed to be an identical track running next to us and were all quickly going over in lots of two. On our team Harry, Brendan, and Ron were already on the other side and Seamus was sitting on top of the wall with one leg on either side for balance. Dean was holding his leg on our side and I imagined somebody was holding his other leg.
