Reality Bites Harry Potter

And... Scene! (Exit stage left)

Surprisingly, I'm not the first one awake on results day. I am woken up by Hannah jumping on me. "Wake up! We need to go look at the results before breakfast!" she yells and I groan. "If you'd stop jumping that'd be great" I sigh. She laughs as she gets up, Susan smiling at me from her bunk. I get up, quickly getting ready for the day. I just throw my hair in a bun, not in the mood to deal with it. We head to the common room, looking over the list. "Guys! I'm the seeker!" I say excitedly and I hear a few mumbles from behind me. I look around and see a few people looking at me slightly irritated. "Another year of failing at quidditch" I hear a fourth year mutter and I frown. "That's reassuring" I huff, leaving for breakfast. I hear the girls following after me and I smile softly at them. "Don't listen to her, she's just mad she didn't make the team" Hannah says and I nod. "I know that. I still wish they would give me a chance" I sigh. Susan hugs me and we keep walking to the dining hall. I see Pyper and I smile, forgetting all about the mean girl in the common room. "Sissy! I made the team!" I say excitedly and she smiles at me. "I knew you could do it" she says, hugging me. I look up at her. "Did you make the team too?" I ask and she nods. "I'm a beater" she says and I giggle. "I'm a seeker. Following shiny things seems to be my specialty" I tease. We eat and I enjoy the time with my sister. "Shay, we have to go to class now" Susan says and I frown. As much as I loved the Gingerpuffs I missed my sister. I go to classes all day, trying to figure out how to spend time with my sister more. I see Draco during my free period and I get an idea. "Oi, Malfoy" I yell, running a bit to catch up to him. He looks me over with a sneer. "What do you want?" he asks and I smile, trying to pretend like I like him. "I was wondering what you were doing?" I ask and he rolls his eyes. "It's none of your business but I'm actually on my way back to my common room" he says and I smile. "Mind if I join you?" I ask and he gives me a dirty look. "Hufflepuffs aren't allowed in the Slytherin commons. What are you daft or something?" he scoffs and I sigh. It was worth a try. I decide to head back to my own commons, trying to think of another plan. 'I could always use my animagus powers' I think, so lost in thought I run right into someone. "I'm so sorry" I say and he smiles at me. "No worries, guess I should pay better attention" he says and I smile. "You're Theodore, right?" I ask and he nods, smiling. "You're Pyper's sister. Shay, right?" he asks and I nod. "It must be hard being in separate houses and grades at the same time. I couldn't imagine not sharing a house with my big brother" I sigh. "You have no idea. I miss her so much. I even tried being nice to Malfoy in hopes he would help sneak me in to surprise her" he makes a face. "Malfoy is the worst. I could always try and help" he suggests and I smile. "Really?" I ask and he nods, smiling at me. He leads me to the dungeons, right in front of the Slytherin commons. "Password?" the portrait sneers and Theodore nods. "Salazar Slytherin" he says and the portrait opens. He has me go in first and follows quick behind me. "That was way too easy" he mumbles warily. I see Pyper sitting on the couch and I decide to go over and surprise her. "What is SHE doing here?!" I hear Malfoy sneer and I gulp. I look at Theodore and he nods. "She's my... new girlfriend" he says, coming over and kissing me on the cheek. I see Pyper look up and a look of anger is immediately on her face. "Sissy?" I mumble and she turns her back on me. "Did I yell in your ear again?" I ask and she crosses her arms. "No, you didn't yell in my ear AGAIN" she says and I flinch. "Did I forget something important?" Pyper turns to face me just to roll her eyes. "We literally forgot everything important, Shayla Marie. It doesn't matter just go away" she sighs and I frown. "Ok. Sister talk. Immediately" I say, pulling her up and practically dragging her from the common room. I find a quiet place where nobody is around and I glare at her. "Do you like Theo?" I ask with a completely serious face. She frowns. "Why would I like him? Just because he's one of the only Slytherin males who talks to me and he is slightly cute does not mean I have a crush on him" she defends herself and I smirk. "Just so you know he only told Malfoy we were dating so I could come in and see you. But you were a major brat in front of him about it so I doubt he does that again. Way to show off your Slytherin side" I say, flipping my hair as I walk away. "Drama queen" she yells after me and I turn around to stick my tongue out at her before seeing Theo a few feet away. "Any chance you just got here?" I mumble and he shakes his head, looking in shock. "Pyper, I think we broke him" I yell before quickly leaving the scene. I run so fast I run smack dab into the one person who my sister could use to get revenge. "Oh. Hi Fred"
