Year 3
We've gotten 30 points while Slytherin had 50. I had ended up being pushed by a Slytherin, and I stood on my broom once I flipped back to normal. I zoom past another, who is probably the Seeker, trying to get the snitch. I get back on my broom properly, and in the meantime, I knock a Slytherin Chaser over, and I yell,"S-Sorry!" I hear the Seeker say"Typical Hufflepuff." My eyes harden at those words, and I get closer to the Golden Snitch. There's five minutes left. I furrow my brows and get closer to the Snitch, and I eventually catch it after a few more pushes from the Slytherin Seeker, trying to get it before me.I hear loud cheering from Evelyn along with the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. We go slowly down onto the field, and I raise my hand with the Snitch in it, shaking heavily. I grin as Evelyn rushes down to me with the backpack on her back, and Tommy following her. I cheer along with the others and I shakily exhale as I hug Tommy and give the Snitch to the referee. I could see Uncle Dexter up in one of the towers with Professor Dumbledore smiling at me as I wave to them.
When we go into the Dining Hall, there was cheering from the Gryffindor table and the Hufflepuff table, and I grinned at them. I've never been happier. Gryffindors and Slytherins have been rivals for a long time, so they supported the Hufflepuffs. I wobbled over to the Hufflepuff table, and Evelyn was sitting there with the other Hufflepuffs. I run a hand through my hair as I sit down with the Hufflepuff team and Evelyn. I look over to the Slytherin table, and see Newt sitting with Leta, staring at me, then turns sorrowfully over to Leta. My eyes soften as I felt bad about being rude to Newt.I look over to Evelyn, and she asks me as we all eat why do I wobble when I walk."S-S-Something wrong w-with my l-legs, but I don't know what." I told her."I see."She nodded.He's staring again.I thought as I saw Newt staring at me again.He ended up walking to me. I sighed quietly as I pretended not to notice."Good job, Laurie. You did great."He smiled softly at me, and I looked at him, and smiled and nodded."Thanks."He then walked back.He genuinely looked as if he didn't want to be there, as if he'd rather be with other people. I looked at him and Leta wrapped an arm around him while Newt saw me too, and I quickly looked away as I didn't want to see any more.
I wasn't even aware I had tears in my eyes until Evelyn pointed it out. I looked over to her, and she was right, my vision was blurry again."M-Merlin's beard..."I told myself and Evelyn."I-I-I-I need t-t-t-to leave..."I said to her, and wobbled back up to my common room, and whispered "Withering Rose" and turned to dust and quietly said to Tommy as soon as I got to him,"I-I-I don't feel so good...."Tommy's head perked up, and he looked at me with curiosity."I-I don't get it, Tommy, w-why can't he just ignore me..?H-He just won't s-stop staring, b-but then again, I-I never asked him n-n-not to. I-I wish y-you could talk instead of squacking, I b-bet it would've b-been a great thing, b-but then again, I-I do understand y-you..."I rambled to Tommy. Tommy nodded with every word I said. Tommy squacked, and I nodded in agreement."M-maybe it'll b-be better i-if I a-avoid him..not say anything, p-pretend to not h-hear him... maybe not the last oo-one, to b-be honest, s-seems rude."Tommy nodded in agreement, and then I heard a loud thump.I wobbled over to where It was, and it was none other than Evelyn O'Malley, and someone else behind her.I raised my brow."E-Evelyn, I thought I-I told you about not bringing someone else in here..."I told her.She looked at me in confusion."I only brought Bucky here with me..."She told me, then turned around.Her face paled."Hello. I'm James McNamara, But you can call me Bucky."He had said. He was slightly taller than Evelyn, but I was taller.He has short brown hair with blue eyes, just like the dog."I'm an 'animagus', I think. Sorry about not telling you. Before I could, it was too late and I got too nervous. Sorry."He continued. I giggled at Eveln's reaction, and then Evelyn looked at me, and I nodded."It's fine, James. but can we still call you Bucky?"She asked him, and Bucky nodded."Thanks, and of course you can."He had told us.
Over the next few days, the three of us(Along with my beasts) became best of friends, and I completely forgot about Newt. But when I was alone in the hall one night, wobbling back to my common room, I bumped into someone and said sorry to them like usual,"L-Laurie?"I could recognise that voice from anywhere. I lowered my head and walked on into my common room, Newt trying to talk to me."Laurie, p-please listen to me, please. I beg of you, p-please!"He had asked. I shook my head, and walked into the girl's bedroom, closing the door before he could reach me. I changed inside the house in my bag, and slept on Tommy's back in the little house, with Ralph sleeping beside us on the floor.
(Dream will be written like this)
I'm in an unknown city, running/wobbling with my bag on my shoulders, and I go into a dark alleyway, only to be met with the face of an unfamiliar man."What are you doing here?Shouldn't you be with your friends?Shouldn't you be shopping somewhere else, instead of going here?" He has spoken in a gruff and rough voice, stained with an unknown accent. I spotted the wand in his hand, along with an animal shrieking together. I furrowed my brows, pulled my wand(a Ash wood with Unicorn hair core wand) out, pointed at the animal and casted in an older and more adult voice," D-Disapparate" then into my now bent arm,"Apparate", and a Niffler ended up going into my arms."Niffler, h-huh?Bad move."I told him."Why?"He had asked."Because I happen to love them."I told him without stuttering, then said,"D-Disapparate"Then wobbled over to a strange looking office building and sai--
I heard Tommy squacking, and I woke up."Hey Hey, I-I-I was j-j-just asleep..M-Mum's totally fine..."I stood up, and got out of the bag and locked it.I wobbled over to the Great Hall and said hello to Bucky and Evelyn."H-Hey there."I hummed."What happened that you're so happy today?"Bucky had asked."I-I'm just happy t-to see y-you guys."I said, smiling, and so we went on with our normal routine.
