I run to potions with Harry and Ron,we're late. When we get there we apologize to Professor Slughorn.
"Quite alright grab a text book and join us." He says pointing to a cupboard holding 3 books, 2 new ones and the other old and tattered. They grab the new ones and grab the old one.
"Okay and start making draught of living death. The winner wins this tiny bottle of felix felicis. On page one forty four!"
I open my book to the correct page and find extra writing all over it. But they are extra tips. I follow them and my potion turns out perfect.
"Ah look here class Mr. Blackwoods potion has turned out just perfect. Congratulations my boy you just won yourself a bottle of liquid luck." Slughorn praises. "Class dismissed."
We clean up our things and leave heading to the library where I will meet Draco so we can flirt with girls and stuff, cause apparently these things are fun. I meet Draco at a table that's a little obvious.
"Have you ever done this before?" I ask nervously as I have flirted as a guy.
"Oh yeah loads of times, why have you?" He asks.
"Oh pttsh yeah totally." I brush off coolly.
"You've never done this."
"Not once."
"Okay so go up, get their attention, and compliment them. say you've got somewhere to be and then leave." He explains. "Simple."
"Okay."Lets do this."
"Okay great. We'll start you off simple, hufflepuffs are stupid easy."
I look over and see a couple of Hufflepuffs. I walk over and lean on the table.
"Hey Puffs, how are gorgeous gals doing this fine morning?" I ask. they just giggle. "Do you realize that its only day one and you already have a guy flirting with you, just shows how pretty you are." They giggle again well I best be on my way, g'day ladies." I say coolly before kissing the cheek of the one closest to me.
I strut back to Draco and we walk out the library. "oh my merlin you totally are flirting master should have sent you after Slytherin girls they are tough at first but you crack them the right way and they fall all over you." We head around the castle talking, when ever I see a girl and catch their eye I wink and they giggle and rush away.
The bell rings and we wordlessly head to the dining hall.
I sit at the end closest to the doors with Draco across from me. I put some sandwiches on my plate when I'm grabbed from behind.
'Sorry need to borrow your friend." One says and the drag me out the hall. I stand and push them off. The twins stand before me.
"What the heck Guys?!" I exclaim.
"Were you ever going to tell us?" Fred says.
I sigh and rub my face. "Yes I was going to tell you just when I knew it was safe."
"Safe? We are your family Feli! You don't keep secrets from family!"
"I didn't want you to be arrested for helping me! I am a fugitive of the law, I didn't want you two boneheads in Azkaban!" I yell.
"And what about Malfoy? What do you tell him, the other part of your golden trio told us about your unexplained long story." George argues.
"I'll keep up my act till Christmas then I'll tell him. And after that I'll tell the whole school." I half smile for a split second before walking back into the hall.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
We sneak to the room of requirement and get in. There are piles of things everywhere, Draco leads me through it, to a cabinet.
"This is what we are fixing."
_-------------------_-----------------------_-------------------
"Oi don't worry mate, you'll do fine, today Slytherin holding tryouts after yours though. And guess who is gonna be on the team." I say to Ron leaning on his shoulder as he sits at Griffindor table.
"Really you think so?"
"Here I help ya out a little bit." I sit opposite him and take out my tiny bottle of luck. I grab his cup and out my hands under the table. I pretend to pour some luck in the cup and give it to Ron slipping the never opened bottle in my pocket.
"This is really a lucky drink." Ron asks skeptically.
"Really really." I nod.
He nods and grabs the goblet and downs it in a second. "Wow I can feel the luck in my veins already!"
"Then you'll for sure be keeper! See ya in the pitch." I stand and head over to Draco we leave the hall and head to get dressed for tryouts.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I sit in the stands and watch the tryouts. Ron is one of two keeper trying out and he's actually really good. Knows exactly where to be to block the quaffle and how to block it.
The other guy is really good too though and he can to extra tricks. Woopie skippie doo.
Re teams co-captians are harry and Ginny and at the end they announce that Ron is the new keeper.
They all head back to thier tower and I know that the party will be coming.
I watch the Slytherin captain come into the field and and I run down Draco following.
"Ey Australia you ever play quidditch before?" The guy says, Grint I think Draco said was his name.
"Ha ever played quidditch before? Ha can you believe this guy?" I says to Draco. Then I turn serious. "Of course I have."
"Well what position?"
"Well I could do chaser and beater. Not keeper and I'm almost ready to play seeker."
"Great let's play."
I try for beater and am really good at it. At the end of the tryouts we all circle around Grint.
"Keeper is myself. Chasers are Chang, Reno, and Woodly. Beaters are Blackwood and Miller. And finally seeker is Malfoy. Now hit the showers you all smell."
