After Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration lesson, we had our flying lesson with.... Ugh Slytherin. We walked onto the fried and was greeted by Madam Hooch. She had short, grey hair and yellow eyes like a hawk.
"Well, What are you waiting for? Everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry up."
I stood beside Harry, who was beside Ron and Hermione stood on the other side of me. Opposite me was of course.... Malfoy.
"Stick out your right hand over your broom, and say 'Up!'"
Everyone started shouting up at their brooms.
"Up!"
My broom shot right into my hand and I smiled to myself. I turned around to see that Harry had gotten his too. Ron sticked his hand out and said,
"Up!"
His broom shot up and hit him in the nose, I laughed and so did Harry.
"Shut up Harry, you too Dawn."
I looked back at Hermione who was still struggling to get hers up. I smiled and patted her shoulder.
"It's ok, Quidditch isn't for everyone..."
She smiled and I looked over at Malfoy. He seemed to be one of the ones that got their broom up.
"Now, when I blow my whistle, you kick off from the ground, hard! Keep your brooms steady, ride a few feet and then come straight back down by leaning forwards slightly. On my whistle - three - two-."
But unfortunately Neville has kicked off too soon and flew about twenty feet in the air. He looked down, scared and his broom seemed to get a bit out of control.
"Mr. Longbottom!"
Madam Hooch tried to keep Neville calm but he flew straight into one of the statues and he fell with a huge crack. We all hurried around Neville as he held his wrist.
"Ah, it seems to be a broken wrist. All of you stay here while I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing, and NO ONE is to be on their brooms."
Madam Hooch walked away with Neville and Malfoy scoffed.
"Big fatty, if he had a brain he would have thought to land on his fat bottom."
Most of Slytherin starting laughing except for Katie Fairchild who just looked unimpressed.
"Shut Up Malfoy..."
"What are you gonna do Lightwood??"
Malfoy picked something off from the ground. It was Neville's Rememberball that his grandma gave to him in the mail today.
"Aww look what Longbottom dropped... should we hide it somewhere for him to find it.... like maybe in a tree??"
"Give it here Malfoy."
I looked at Harry who had stood in front of everyone else. Malfoy smirked and jumped on his broom, gliding up a few feet.
"Come and get it Potter!"
Harry was about to get on his broom when Hermione stopped him.
"Harry no! You heard what Madam Hooch said, your going to get in trouble!"
"Fine then I'll go get it."
I got on my broom and Harry put a hand on my shoulder.
"How about we both get it??"
I smiled as we both kick off, Hermione muttered under her breath,
"Idiots...."
We flew up to Malfoy's level and he smirked at me.
"Well Lightwood, didn't expect to be flying...."
I groaned and rolled my eyes, my mother was a Chaser when she was at Hogwarts. She had given me some pointers.
"Give it here Malfoy or I'll knock you off your broom!!"
I looked at Harry who was a few feet away from me since we had surrounded Malfoy.
"Oh yeah??"
He looked at me and smiled.
"Then go get it!!"
Malfoy threw the Rememberball at me and I smirked, I knew just what to do. I flew a bit higher as it came flying towards me.
"Harry heads up!!"
I did a 360' on my broom, kicking it towards Harry. Harry chases after it and caught it. I smiled and looked up at him, he'd be an amazing Seeker. We flew back down to the ground while everyone clapped for us, I smiled and looked back at Malfoy, smirking. I turned back to see Professor McGonagall walking towards us, she must have saw us...
"MR POTTER AND MISS LIGHTWOOD!! With me, now!"
I groaned slightly and looked at Harry who looked worried. We followed Professor McGonagall to the dungeons were she knocked on one of Professor Snape's classes, oh no....
"Professor Snape, do you mind it I borrow Oliver Wood??"
"Of course Professor."
I looked as confused as Harry, we walked into McGonagall's office and she turned to face us with Wood.
"I saw you too from outside my window with Mr. Malfoy, you were both on your brooms while Madam Hooch was not there! You too could have broken your necks!"
I looked down at the floor and sighed.
"But I am not going to punish you..."
I looked up at McGonagall and looked at Harry, who looked as shocked as I was. McGonagall pointed to the sixth year beside her.
"This is Oliver Wood, he is the Gryffindor's Quidditch captain and he is also our Keeper. One of our Chaser's have graduated and we need someone to fill her place, that's why I'm giving it to you, Miss Lightwood."
I looked at her in complete shock, I was going to be on the Quidditch team?? I'm only in my first year! I guess I am taking after my mother after all.....
"And Mr. Potter you will be our new Seeker."
I was beaming ear to ear, Harry would be an amazing Seeker. But he only stood there confused.
"You May go now Miss Lightwood, I think that Mr Potter needs a lesson or two on what Quidditch is by Mr Wood."
I nodded and waved at Harry, I was going to be on the team....
