Throughout the evening, I met more and more of his family. As we sit in front of a girl that's maybe my age, and a boy who's maybe twenty, Thomas looks to me "My sister, Alice, and my brother, Michael."

I smile at them, before offering my hand to them both "I believe Jackie tried to set me up with you."

She furrows her brow and asks "Are you the young, attractive, doctor, she goes on about?"

Thom nods "I believe, she would date you herself, if you were a pinch older, and into women."

I shrug, before looking to Alice "What do you do?"

She looks to Thomas "I'm actually a teacher, like Thomas." I nod, before looking to Michael.

He smiles, before declaring "I'm still in uni."

"And loving every moment, yeah?" Thom asks him and he nods, before Thom asks "Terrorising the girl's dormitory?"

Michael shakes his head, with a smirk "More like rocking their world." He checks his watch and declares "I'm going to head out, before the game, so I can make it to a party."

"Game?" I ask and Thom looks to me in excitement.

He smirks, before declaring "Around ten, we play a game of cricket, once everyone is smashed."

I furrow my brow in confusion and Alice asks "Are you going to play?"

I shrug, before declaring "I've never watched cricket, before."

They give shocked looks and I explain "In my boarding school only had one sport. Quidditch."

They give confused looks, before Thom asks "What the fuck is Quidditch?"

I furrow my brow and explain "Well, there's three types of balls. The quaffle, the bluger, and the golden snitch."

Michael furrows his brow "You've lost me."

I scoff, before continuing "On each team, there are two beaters, armed with bats, who hit the two bludgers at the opposite team. Then there's three chasers, who try to get the quaffle through one of the other teams three goals. The keeper tries to stop the quaffle from going in."

They slowly start to understand, so I continue "The golden snitch is a little ball that moves around the field. The seeker's only job is to keep an eye out for it. The game ends when the a seeker grabs the snitch."

I clear it up "Each quaffle through a goal is ten points, and the snitch is one hundred and fifty."

They nod and Thom asks "Were you one a team?"

I give a smug look "I bought my way in." He gives me a look and I correct "Lucius bought me the seeker's position."

He shrugs "Were you good at it?" I shake my head and he asks "Why did you do it, then?"

I sigh, before scratching my head "Harry was the opposing teams seeker. And Lucius didn't want Harry to win."

He ahhs, before declaring "Because Harry was the symbol for liberation?"

I hum, before popping my back and declaring "I have a decent throw, though. I used to practice with the chasers and beaters."

Alice furrows her brow and asks "Was it a contact sport?" I nod, instantly and she asks "Is it rough?"

"Very rough." I state, before declaring "The fighting comes after, but during the game, it's the bludger that hits you."

They look to one another, before Thom declares "Quidditch is weird."
