11. Aww, What a Cute Doggy!

Megan POV

"Harry and I stood silently as Oliver turned and left.

"That's awesome!" I cried.

Harry nodded mutely.

"Let's go to dinner, I'm starved. Ooh, let's act all depressed, I wanna see the look on Ron's face and I wonder what Hermione will do. Maybe she'll be all, I told you so."

"Yeah, okay. Sounds like fun."

"Yay!"

I skipped beside Harry as we walked to the Great Hall. When we began to hear voices and the clinking of cutlery we began to shuffle along staring at the floor.

I shuffled through the open doors and glumly made my way over to the Gryffindor table. I saw Ron, who was sitting across from Hermione and Neville, this surprised me. I plonked down beside Ron and began to place food on my plate.

I looked up and I saw Ron staring at me sympathetically and Hermione looking quite grim.

I began picking at my food with a sigh.

"We have something to tell you," sighed Harry.

"What mate, did you get expelled?" said Ron.

"No," I said and broke out in a grin.

Everyone stared at me shocked.

"We got put on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. How awesome is that?"

"Are you kidding me, only you could turn an expulsion into getting put on a sporting team." said Hermione, scowling at me for tricking her.

"Really? That's great."

"Yeah, McGonagall said I am Seeker and Megan is a chaser."

"You're seeker? No way."

I was tapped on the back I turned and saw Fred and George.

"Well done," whispered George. "Wood told us. We're on the team too - Beaters."

"We're going to win the Quidditch cup for sure this year." declared Fred. "You two must be good, Wood was almost skipping when he told us."

"Anyway we've got to go, Lee Jordan reckons he's found a new secret passageway out of the school."

"Bet it's that one behind the statue of Gregory the Somonry that we found in our first week. See you at training."

After they left I sat thinking about what it would be like, playing a game of Quidditch.

"Umm, Megan." said Ron clicking his fingers in my face.

"Yeah, what?"

"You're not eating anything."

"Huh?"

I looked down at my plate and realized that all the food had vanished. I quickly stopped cutting air ready for me to 'eat'.

"Having a last meal, are you Potters? How long 'till you get on the train back to the Muggles?"

"Oh, shove off Malfoy!" I groaned.

"You're a lot braver now that you're back on the ground and you've got your little friends with you," growled Harry.

"I'd take you on anytime on my own." sneered Malfoy. "Tonight, if you want. Wizards duel. Wands only - no contact."

"I'm his second. who's yours?" said Ron immediately.
