My little Pup - Sirius Black Daughter (2)

Book 3: Chapter 6 The flight of the Fat Lady

Alex pov

Everyone (well.. except the slytherins) loved DADA and dad as teacher. We did so much practicum lessons everyone loved it. DADA is now my favourite class. but the only thing Im now afraid of is that people find out that dad a werewolf, he is always so scared about the whole thing, and I want that he wont lose his job if people find out.

The rest of the week was okay, the other lessons werent so much of fun and yeah I dont know what to say about the other classes and DADA so I go back to today, today is the day that were going to Hogsmeade, but before we can do that we have a Quidditch tactic meeting in the morning.

this is our last chance - my last chance - to win the quidditch cup, Oliver said, striding up in front of us, I sat next to Harry and behind the twins, Ill be leaving at the end of this year. Ill never get another shot at it. Gryffindor hasnt won for 7 years now. Okay, so weve had the worst luck in the world - - injuries - then the tournament getting called off last year. he swallowed. As though the memory still brought a lump in his throat. But we also know weve got the best - - ruddy - team - - In - the - whole - school! oliver punched his fist on his other hand.

weve got three superb chasers. Angelina, katie and I grinned.

weve got two unbeatable Beaters.

stop it, oliver, youre embarrassing us. Fred and George said, pretending to blush.

dont get used to that boys. I tapped their shoulders and laughed. The looked at me with their arms crossed.

and we got a seeker, who has never failed to win us a match! oliver rumbled. Glaring at Harry with a kind of furious pride. And me, he added, as though it were an afterthought.

we think youre very good, too, oliver. George said

spanking good keeper fred continued

the point is, oliver went on, the Quidditch cup should have our name on it these last two years. Ever since Harry and Alex joined the team. Ive thought the thing was in the bag. But we havent got it, and this years the last chance well get to finally see our name on the thing

dont worry, oliver, this is going to be our year. fred said

well do it! Angelina said

were going to nail it! I said

definitely Harry said.

Everyone cheered. And the Gryffindor training started, three evenings a week. Though the weather was getting colder and wetter, no one cared, no amount of mud, wind or rain could stop us from winning that huge, silver quidditch cup.

When Harry and I returned to the Gryffindor common room after training, cold and stiff, the entire room was buzzing excitedly.

what happened? Harry asked Ron and Hermione, who were seated in the two best chairs by the fire.

first Hogsmeade weekend, ron said, pointing at a notice on the bulletin board. end October Halloween.

cool, I nodded, looking at the board.

Excellent, fred said, following behind us. I need to visit Zonkos. Im nearly out of stink pellets.

hey fred, can you bought some things from that for me, I asked him

but Alex you can buy it yourself this time cause youre going.

no, Im staying here with Harry, and I have to go to my dad for something.

but, but, but George stammered.

guys, I will go next time, promise. The boys nodded. I looked next to me where Harry was looking sad. hey, youll be able to go next time, Im sure of it I tried to assure him.
