Lyndell POV

A few days passed and Dumbledore had given Melissa and her friends 4 months worth of detention helping Hagrid with his work, me and Draco have been dating since he slept in my room. My father has given me more pills for my condition, and I've been practicing Quidditch with Draco since the tryouts are in a week. I know I probably won't get in but it's fun and sort of scary to fly, I've fallen off my broom so many times I've lost count. Draco saves me when I fall from dangerous heights most the time,

''you're improving,'' he said as he flu beside me.

''yeah but I still keep falling off,'' I told him with a smile,

''I used to fall off all the time,'' he added trying make me not feel pathetic. I could see he constantly watching me to make sure I didn't fall off, I decided it was time for me to stop training. When my feet touched the floor, it felt weird and I fell on to the soft grass. I could see Draco flying around, the sky was a vibrant blue with fluffy white clouds filled it. My broom was laying beside me, I could fee myself drifting to sleep.

DAY OF TRYOUTS

''Okay Slytherins, today you guys are trying out for a position on the team,'' the coach yelled as he stood in front of us,

''first we will be testing speed and accuracy,'' he added. I gulped, I was so nervous that I was biting the inside of my mouth. Draco was standing next to me, he didn't even looked nervous then there was me, nervous, scared and anxious. There were a lot of people trying out, most of them looked even more scared than I am.

''Line up in groups of 5,''

''okay you go with them cause they aren't that goof okay,'' Draco told me as he pointed to a group of 4 scared newbies, I walked over to them.

''I'll be giving groups numbers,''

''1,''

''2,''

''3,'' he said as he pointed at Draco's group.

''4,''

''5,'' he said pointing at my group

''and 6 okay now the first 3 groups are showing me their accuracy and the other groups will be showing my assistant their speed,'' he told us as he walked away, the first 3 groups followed him leaving the other 3 groups waiting with the coach's assistant.

''okay well we will be practising speed in a race and in this race you can push and try to knock off your opponents from their broom,'' he told us, my speed is almost the same as Draco's so that's going to help me but I'm pretty fragile.

''you will be flying around the field and you will continue to do so as fast as you can, but at the same you will be eliminating your opponents and you when you a knocked off you come down and sit down,'' he told us.

''And the last one remaining wins,'' he adds with a smile, I could feel myself wanting just crawl in to a ball and die. We all go on to our brooms,

''go,'' he told us and with that we all began to fly around as we go higher in to the air. Two people were already out, I quickly flu passed people trying not to be knocked off. But I had to knock someone off, someone was in front off me,we all began to get faster and faster. I'm sorry I thought as I flu passed and kicked him in the arm hard sending him flying off his broom. Only a hand full of people were left and they seemed to be ganging up on people together, I could see someone slow down in front of me and some one was speeding up behind me. I knew exactly they were doing, so I moved to the side and the guy ram right in to the guy that was in front of me. I all most slipped, but I held on tight.

''get her,'' I herd someone say, I looked behind me and could see they were trying to trap me. They then began to knock me, shit I need to get out and without thinking I knocked off one of the guys and stood up I then did a back flip, flipping over the guys that was behind me I kicked him in the back as I grabbed my broom but I didn't land perfectly on I was hanging off. I could feel as if my heart was going to drop but I was able to get back on, I began to fly again. There was one person left besides me, he flu beside me and kept trying to knock me off. He was getting on my nervous so I kicked his broom which caused him to fall, I felt so bad.

''LYNDELL COME DOWN,'' I heard the assistance yell, I then flu back on to the ground. I was getting death stares from the boys I knocked off.

''Samson who won?'' the coach asked as he walked over with his 3 groups,

''Lyndell Crow sir,'' the assistance who's name I believe is Samson. The coached looked at me and looked sort of shocked,

''are you sure? I mean she's a stick'' he asked Samson. I sighed,

''Yes sir she knocked off Lucius,'' he said as he pointed at the guy I had kicked in the back, Draco had a smirk on his face, but I could only notice the guys I had knocked off staring at me.

''okay well now we are swopping so now my group will be doing accuracy,'' Samson said as he walked towards this target practice area.
