The Hidden War (adopted by Existential_Human They're Writing This Now)

Chapter 14

I wake up to the sound of Draco's excited cry echoing off our dorm room walls, then the following cry from Blaise of, "Will you shut up!? It's 6 AM!" I sit tiredly rubbing my eye taking a look at the smile Draco and join the laughing Theo. Draco takes Blaise's tired words, ignores them, then jumps onto the now snoring Blaise with a battle cry of, "For the love of Quidditch!" And Blaise sits up so quickly Draco and his heads knock together with a cluck and they both collapse just as our door opens the reveal an annoyed looking Snape, "Will you four quit yelling?" He whispers venom dripping from his words, "It was Draco he was excited and then he got knocked out, Blaise may have been involved." I say smiling at him Theo following my lead of 'we did nothing it was those idiots' even though we clearly could have stopped it with a flick of our wands. He nods slowly and carefully glaring at us before slowly closing the door then the sound of his footsteps tells us he's leaving, "Even his night robe billows, that is impressive." Theo whispers as we head back to sleep knowing that even without an alarm we'll wake up in about an hour or a little over since Draco will probably shriek and call Blaise a perv for dragging him into the bed with no recollection of what actually happened.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! PERV!" A shrill cry echoes through the dungeons and the houses rare laughter follows it everyone laughing together over their leaders cracking mask, "Damn it! Blaise you absolute perv! I expected better from you!" And at the shocked and frightened look on Blaise's face Theo promptly falls off his bed onto the rug laughing so hard he's crying, and I soon follow narrowly missing a stinging hex and my laughter stops along with Theo's we both knew it wouldn't hurt but the sight of the white spell sends chills down my spell and Theo cries, "Hey! No Jinxes! Now come on let's go! We don't want to be late!" And I laugh as Draco's red face goes through stages, confusion, realization, joy then stress. "We only have half an hour how am I supposed to get my hair done!?" I laugh quietly and fix it for him with a jinx my brother uses rolling my eyes as his eyes widen. "Why don't you just use that?" He asks pointing to the bird's nest on my head and I smirk slowly turning my head looking sideways at him, "If I do it wrong I'll go bald you the first thing that I haven't made hairless." I answer which makes his face turn pale and he starts touching his hair to make sure it's all their while the rest of us get dress I use a quick refresh charm and brush my hair and teeth at the same time, We're all in house Quidditch gear since everyone who's trailing is given it well all of it but the robe since that's specially made with your name on it.

"Let's go eat then head over with our silver arrows!" Theo shouts as Draco leads us out Blaise has a goalie helmet on but unlike Gryffindor ours is a black leather, Hufflepuff's have some kind of fur and Ravenclaw being reasonable just wear whatever so they walk around with mismatched helmets and none of us really care they had their trials yesterday but the team members get to wear the gear today to show off that they made it I'm looking forward to seeing who made the Ravenclaw team since they seemed to know about the Gryffindor's plan as well, Hufflepuff just didn't care though some seemed to have caught on. I smile as Draco practically skips to the Great hall ignoring the stares of other houses Theo laughs quietly into his hand while chatting with the girls and Blaise gets in an argument with a second year keeper wannabe others soon join in and at some point an unbreakable vow was made, keepers are weird. The doors which I notice have been closed suddenly open to reveal my brother and his gang walking in Their heads all held high and only then do I notice that none of the other years are wearing gear, they're all wearing robes and the hall goes nuts everyone cheering and clapping some even chanting, "The boy who lived!" Over and over all except us we all sit there a heavy silence running through our table as the chants fade and people go back to eating we all stand and walk off without looking up we don't need to, "Ha! Gryffindor's are so strong this year! All first years! Ravenclaw got over half juniors and Hufflepuff just has juniors but neither of them has only first years! Slytherin are going to be easy this year with only the first and second years are trying out. Especially since the second years suck and apparently all the Slytherin first years can do is fall." One particularly loud Gryffindor seventh year says boasting for his house knowing no one will call him out for it.
