The Kind, The Brave And The Cunning

Quidditch

Lyra Pov

I was the first to wake up, those lazy bitches. I stayed here for a few more days than planned it was now Wednesday but I didn't care I loved staying with the Gryffindors. I went to the bathroom and changed into my Slytherin robes, I really hate being the only one of my friend group in Slytherin, I just feel like I miss out on so much. I got back into the dorms and found Hermione awake. 'Morning.' She said sleepily. 'Morning.' I giggled walking out of the girls' dorms into the common room. I saw Harry sat on the couch, he was the only other one awake, he ran up to hug me I hugged him back. We walked back to the sofa and sat down. 'So what's all this drama then?' He said nudging me, I rolled my eyes. 'So basically when I was in the dorms Draco sent me an owl saying how sorry he is and how much he loves me even though he knows I like Cedric.' I sighed Harry kind of looked disappointed when I said this.'What a douche you're too good to be with some idiot like him.' He said giving me a reassuring hug, I hugged back. 'It's great to have a friend like you.' I said pulling away. 'Yeah friends' he sighed. 'Harry shouldn't you be getting down to the Quidditch pitch its tryouts.' Fred said walking down from the boy's dorms. 'Unless he's too preoccupied with his girlfriend.' Teased George. 'Well his "girlfriend".' I said making quotation marks with my fingers. 'Just so happens to also be going to tryouts.' I said with pride. 'So we'll be playing against each other if you manage to make the team keep in mind first years never make the team.' Fred said trying to stop me from trying out, he even knows I'll kick his ass. 'Whatever helps you sleep at night Weasley.' I said exiting the portrait hole. I had to go back to the place I most dreaded, the dungeons, I needed to get my spare quill as my main one had died from class and all the back and fourth letters between me and Cedric. It was early so I expected everyone to be in their dorms getting ready but once the portrait swung open I was proven incorrect, it had to be Draco didn't it the person I had wanted to have seen last. 'Lyra,' he said shocked. 'W-what?' I asked trying to sound rude but came out as more of a nervous stutter. 'I'm sorry.' He said disappointedly. 'Ok.' I said simply walking to the girl's dorms. I had retrieved my quill and decided to pack my trunk full of the rest of my possessions just in case I needed them. I had escaped the dungeon as Draco had already left thank Merlin but I got a few pleading looks from Millicent and some disgusted looks from Pansy, I knew she liked Draco and I mean she can have him I don't see her problem any way besides the point, irrelevant.

I headed down to the Quidditch pitch. I saw all the people trying out in a big group of their houses so I joined the Slytherins. Flint looked up from his clipboard when he saw me and gave me a horrible toothy grin, I responded with a more awkward one hoping someone would tell me what to do. 'Black, what position would you be trying out for?' He said with a slight smirk. 'Uhh, Ch-Chaser,' I said uncomfortably noticing I was the only girl. I looked to my left and saw Cedric, some relief had filled my body by the sight of him as my stomach filled with butterflies. 'Alright well be splitting into two teams, both teams will be playing two different teams of Ravenclaws whoever plays better at the position gets the spot on the team.' Flint says interrupting my thoughts.

The Slytherins and Ravenclaws had both mounted their brooms and were floating in the air waiting for the Quaffle, bulgers and snitch to be released. I felt nervous as I saw Cedric's eyes on me. If I didn't get this would he still wanna hang out with me? All these thoughts were rushing through my mind and before I could comprehend what was happening the Quaffle went up. I dived straight for it, once I had it in my grasp, I didn't look back I flew straight past the Ravenclaws bulger that was sent my way and threw the Quaffle as hard as I could through the goal post past the keeper. A sigh of relief went through my body, ok I wasn't completely useless at Quidditch I could score past the 5th year so this should be pretty easy. I hope. The Quaffle was released once more and we played on I scored about 3 more goals before Ravenclaws Seeker caught the snitch, I recognised her she was in Cedric's year it was Cho Chang she seemed nice and apparently good at Quidditch too. I went to sit in the stands, I was going to sit with Cedric but Harry had waved me over so I sat with him. 'I didn't know you were that good at Quidditch!' He said surprised. 'Well turns out I am and you never told me you were good either.' I said reversing the question. 'Lyra, I didn't even know what Quidditch was last week.' He joked, I laughed at his joke and he laughed along. I seemed to notice out of the corner of my eye Draco looking at me longingly, I had turned my attention to Draco and Harry seemed to follow my gaze. 'Malfoy bothering you again.' He said concerned. 'Something like that.' I said smiling as I saw Cedric coming this way. 'Hey.' He said Happily. 'Hey,' I said blushing like an idiot, Harry clearly saw this. 'What's up.' He said coldly. 'Nothing I just wanted to see Lyra.' He said ignoring Harry's tone. 'In private or?' I said my blush fading slightly. 'In Private I was hoping, I can't wait until 3.30 to talk to you.' I smiled to myself, he wants to talk to me that bad. 'Sure! You don't mind do you Harry?' I questioned as the strong blush crept back across my cheeks. 'Not. At. All.' He said, anger slightly dripped from his words. I couldn't see his problem I mean I guess they're both going to be seekers but it's only for some silly competition he needs to grow up. I walked away with Cedric, again Draco's gaze capturing my attention but it didn't matter anymore, nothing really did to me, all that mattered was Cedric. 'So?' I said once he had stopped in a more secluded part of the pitch. 'Well, I have been wanting to ask you something, its something I've been wanted to ask for a while.' He said nervously. 'Go on.' I said nervously. 'W-will you be my girlfriend?' He said scratching his neck. 'Of course.' I said happily, drunk on happiness at this point I didn't know what I was thinking but I did it I leaned in, and he did the same we were inched from each other's lips-. 'Cedric you're needed Hufflepuffs about to play Gryffin– woah.' We separated from each other's gaze when George rudely interrupted. 'So where you gonna? Woah, she's literally my sister. Wait if she's happy I don't even care but if your hurt her don't forget me and Fred control the bulgers. Anyway, you're needed on the pitch.' He said walking away. 'Well, that was inconvenient.' I giggled. 'Yep. Where were we again?' He laughed leaning in again I leaned back and this time our lips actually met, I pulled away. 'You gotta make the team before I can beat you.' I sassed. 'You're right, see you around then Black.' He said kissing my cheek on departure. I went back to the stands my eyes scanned the seats, there was only Draco who I really knew. I have been wanting to actually talk to him though so I guess now's my chance, I walked over to him. 'Hey,' I said taking a seat next to him. 'Hey.' He said perking up. 'So are we talking again?' He asked. 'If you'd like.' I smiled. 'I'd like that.' He said. We talked for a bit as we watched the game go down Cedric was good but I think I can beat him. Harry caught the snitch in a neck and neck race though ending the game. I told Draco to meet me in the common room tomorrow and we can talk then. I rushed over to Cedric and gave him a hug. 'You're good but I'm totally beating you.' I said looking him in the eye stealing a little kiss as well. 'Whatever helps you sleep at night.' He joked. 'So are they like a thing now?' I heard Fred whisper to George. 'I'm pretty sure caught them nearly kissing earlier.' He responded. I slapped him on the arm and gave him that 'I hate you so much' look.

Me and Cedric walked to lunch, where he walked me to the Gryffindor table. What can I say I needed to spill so much to Hermione. He kissed me on the cheek and went on his way to the Puff's table Hermione saw and her jaw dropped. I rushed over to her and she pulled me into the seat beside her. 'Spill!' She ordered. I had explained everything even down to George catching us. 'What about Harry!' She whisper yelled. 'If he cares that much about me he can ask himself!' I whisper yelled back, she rolled her eyes. 'Malfoys goggling over you again.' She said giving him a death stare. 'I'll have you know we're talking again.' I said smiling at Draco. 'After everything he did?' She said angrily. 'He only did one thing to me personally and it was a stupid mistake he said would never happen again. Second chances Mione.' I said with a sigh. 'Just be careful.' She said moving her gaze from Draco to her food.
