one golden snitch

chapter 2

My internal clock wakes me right on time. 5am. Friday. Every day this week I've been going flying or running before breakfast. I get dressed, grab my beloved broomstick and tiptoe though the castle, finally getting outside. It's only early September, and the warm air hits my bare arms and legs. My eyes see a fleck of brown down by the perimeter of the forest. I can't see well from here, but it looks like a boy, probably my age, wearing uniform. He's sneaking along, close to the trees, holding a satchel. Weird.

At last I'm at the quidditch pitch, and I kick off immediately, feeling the adrenaline rush through me. I've set off one of the old snitches and I can see it, glinting gold at the far end of the pitch. For 2 hours I catch it and let it go, over and over again, until I'm sweaty and gasping. When I'm done I rush back to the dorm that I share with Keri and Rosie to have a shower and get dressed.

A lot of muggles think that we all wear cloaks and pointy hats, but there actually just for special occasions. Our school uniform is pretty normal, just a black skirt, tights and cardigan, with a white polo.

Keri and Rosie wake up just as I'm brushing my hair. 'Why are you up so early?' asks Keri, bleary eyed and walking to the bathroom. 'flying.' I state simply. While a pull my hair into a bobble and stick back the loose strands with grips, Rosie sits up, smoothing her curls with one perfectly manicured hand.I pull on my cardy and go to make my bed.

We get them to the hall for breakfast (late as usual) and tuck into some pancakes. Daniel seems to be looking at me quite a bit. We went out for a while last year, and I've fancied him since year 8, but it didn't work so well. To be honest it was a bit awkward. I really liked him and he was sort of impartial, so I got frustrated and embarrassed myself. A lot. I try not to think about it.

By lunchtime I'm hot and my hair is sticking to my forehead. It's weirdly hot for September, and we go outside to lounge in the shade. Unfortunately 4 slytherin boys are sat on our spot. Keri sees them first. 'little bastards.'

'Keri just leave it. Let's sit somewhere else.' But she's already stomping over furiously. Me and Rosie stand to the side and pretend not to know her. The boys are putting up a fight clearly.

All the slytherins are a bit outcast from the rest of us. All of the muggle hating and death eater stuff to do with he who must not be named is over now. However a lot of the slytherins have parents who are in Azkaban or are under watch from the ministry because of there previous crimes. No one every talks about it but there is a lot of people who hate the slytherins.

The boys are currently looking at Keri with varying expressions of disbelief. One of them is clearly a bit of an emo-looking boy, with a sweeping fringe and more eyeliner than any girl. One has slicked back blonde hair, and the haughty look of a malfoy. The next boy looks average, with Brown hair and brown eyes. And the last one has loose black curls tumbling around his face, reaching to below his ears. He has striking blue eyes and a lazy, smooth way of moving. He's hot, and he knows it. I hate boys like that.

By the time the bell rings Keri is still arguing, so me and rose rise from the spot by the lake where we've been eating and head back to the castle. Feeling a pair of eyes on me, I turn back to the slytherins, who are now ignoring Keri completely and starting to stand up. The black haired one has his blue eyes fixed on me, but when I shake my head to clear it and look back he's taking to his friend. Stupid imagination.
