☞Y/N's POV☜

"Finally, classes are over!" I chirp and quickly exit the class. Roxanne walks next to me. "Hey, Y/N! You seem very excited today." she states.

"That's because I am! I have Quidditch practice today, and the Captain said he'll be more strict!" I cheer. "And that's good?" she asks amused. "Of course it is! I love Quidditch, and I'm finally able to show it!" I grin.

She laughs. "You really are a strange one, aren't you Y/N..?" she asks herself and I immediately stop walking. What did she just say? Why do I feel like I've heard this sentence again..? But it doesn't feel like a coincidence, it feels like repeat..

Roxanne stops walking as soon as she realises that I stand still. "Y/N? Is everything alright? Did I say something wrong?" she asks, looking regretful. "No. But... Have you ever said this to me before?" I ask. "I believe not?.. Are you sure you're alright?" she asks hesitantly and cautiously.

"Yes. I just had some sort of.. Flashback?" I tell her, unsure of what just happened. "Okay.... I'll just go to Katie now. I promised to help her study." she informs me.

"Katie.." I whisper to myself. She has said this.. But when? We never talk, except from when we meet inside the girls' Gryffindor dorm.

Roxanne walks away, her eyes looking downwards, as her eyebrows are furrowed. "Hey, Y/N!" the twins chirp, stepping beside me. "Are you alright?" Fred asks. "You seem to be sceptical." George adds.

"I.. I'm fine, just starting to worry about Quidditch. Charlie said he'll be strict from now on, and I'm not aware of his strictness." I lie.

"You want us to tell him about it?" they ask in sync. "No, not at all! Let's just head there. I don't want to be late." I say, changing the subject.

*Time Skip*

"Alright, what you gotta do, is chase the Snitch, before the other players manage to score over 150 points." he says, motioning towards our team mates.

I nod and look at his hand, as his fingers release the Snitch. My head snaps towards the direction it went, and speed after it..

☞Fred's POV☜

George and I watch Y/N and Charlie talk. "You really think that she can actually make it? As long as I am entering the Slytherin Quidditch Team, she's a lost cost." Dominique says mockingly.

I shoot a glance at George and he does so too. "Wanna bet about it?" we ask her proudly in unison. She huffs and glares at us. "Not really. Betting for her is not even worth it. Besides, Weasley's can't afford my betting numbers." she answers and waves her hand dismissively.

"Oh really?" I say and cross my arms. "So Dominique Goodrich is afraid to put a little bet against
Y/N Riddle." George adds and crosses his arms as well. "As expected." we say in unison and look up at Y/N again, whilst taking our seats.

☞Y/N's POV☜

My eyes stay glued on the flying sphere, as it flies back and forth to the field. It flies right next to Oliver and I pass from next to him, almost touching his broom. "Watch it, Y/N!" he calls.

"Sorry, Oliver!" I apologize, still looking at the Snitch. I extend my hand, as I stalk nearer. My hand feels the air that gets pushed away from its wings, as I stay focused.

Suddenly, when my fingers touch the Snitch, I hear two voices; "Y/N, watch out!", but it's too late. Whoever it is, has already pushed me. My sweaty palms grip tightly on the broom stick, holding for dear life.

My left hand slips, and now I'm holding on from only my right. I let out an ear-breaking scream and struggle to get on the broom. I feel a strong pair of hands lifting me up on my broom.

I look and see Charlie. "Thank you!" I say and hug him, just like I have hugged Fred and George before. Wait.. I've never hugged them.. Right? I believe I have, but I can't quite picture their figures, nor mine.

"Are you alright?" Charlie asks, rubbing my back in circles. I nod thrice and hear a familiar voice giggling. I pull away from Charlie and look, only to see Dominique Goodrich.

"I believe that you needn't be here, miss." Charlie states kindly, yet he glares at her. Her eyes travel at him, and her whole expression darkens. "I believe that you have nothing to do with it!" she snaps at him.

Oliver flies at us. "What is going on here?" he asks suspiciously. "What comes up, must come down. And I just won a bet against the young Weasley's over there.

Quite traumatic for them, don't you think?" she says smugly, as she eyes their brother. "You little--" I start but interrupt myself, by taking a deep breath.

"You know what? You're not worth it.." I say and my eyes search for the Snitch. After spotting its shine from the sun's light.

I shoot one last glance at Dominique that says; 'I dare you to do it again', and speed after the Snitch. I manage to decrease much distance a lot faster than before, and reach out to grab it.

My fingers close, trapping the ball inside my grip. I look down at the twin Weasley's. They're cheering for me. I smile at the sight of them; they always manage to make everything better.

Always? I know them for like a few weeks....

Right?
