                2nd Chapter

I wake up and I see white. The amount of light hurt my eyes so I grumped and closed them. I try again.

“Good afternoon sleepy-head”

“Albus? Where am I? What happened?”

“You’re at the Hospital Wing. We bought you here after that git stupefied you” I turn around to see my cousin “It doesn’t matter he seemed sorry and insisted on caring you here, he’s still a bloody git”

“He did what? He carried me here?”

“Yup. I told Hagrid where you were and why you weren’t in class. It’s almost time for quidditch practice. Will you make it?”

“Of course I will! I’ve been stupefied before. And why didn’t they simply revived me?”

“Because you hit your head”

“That explains the headache. So I was only out for Care of Magical Creatures?”

“Yeah, lucky you, it’s our last class for the day actually, for the week.”

After Madam Pomfrey – seriously, how old is she? – Gave me a checkup I went to my room and changed into my quidditch robes and got my Firebolt – the best for the best, at least, that’s what daddy told me.

The Griffindor quidditch team was: James, Emily Jordan (Fred’s current girlfriend) and me as chasers, Fred and Michel Creevey (James and Fred’s friend) as beaters, Hugo as keeper and Albus as seeker. Our captain is James, who may be a joker but is dead serious about quidditch, and he lead us to victory in the last 2 years, but Hugo is new to the team and no one knew about him yet, only our teammates.

They weren’t sure about him at first, he always had the fame of being clumsy and his incredible ability of messing things up. But James insisted and after 2 practices he already was our ‘secret weapon’. The reason why James was so persistent on my brother was because he lost a game for him.

On summer vacations, our big family used to go to the Burrow for a week (don’t ask how we fit there). We play quidditch and this time the teams were Uncle Harry, James, Aunt Angelina, Lily, Louis, my dad and Fred in one side and me, Hugo, Albus, Roxy, Teddy, Uncle George and Aunt Ginny on the other. Hugo didn’t let almost nothing get pass him and dad still got problems blocking Aunt Ginny. In the end, Uncle Harry got the snitch but we had scored more. James never really got over it.

Because of practice, we were late for dinner. My friends had already finished so I sat with my family. I was laughing about Fred’s plan of a massive prank when Dom (7th year cousin) whispered to me.

“Rose why is Malfoy looking at you?”

I turned my head a little bit and saw that Malfoy was, indeed, staring at me with an unusual look, for him. “I dunno”

“So you’re telling me there is absolutely no reason for him to be looking at you”

She had the suspicious tone. I hate that tone. “Not that I know” Now she gave me that look. “Okay, there may be a reason, if you must know” She nodded encouraging me to continue. “During our DADA class we had to duel and he stupefied me and ended up hitting my head”

“He did what?”

“Don’t tell anyone. It wasn’t intentional and you know our family, James, Fred and Hugo will want revenge and Lily will tell my parents. We’ll end up making a big fuss for absolutely no reason”
