The Snake and The Seer

Quinn and Fred

"Quinn! Wake up!" George hit me over the head with a pillow.

"Noo, Georgie please I wanna sleep!" I opened my eyes to see George pulling the pillow back to whack me again, and in the process hitting Lee Jordan in the face. 

"Quinndelia Rayne Diggory! You're going to be late for Quidditch tryouts!" He used that ridiculous name again.

"That's illegal, and like bullying I think, I thought we agreed that no one should ever call me that ever again." Because my mom died when I was born, and dad didn't want anything to do with me, my grandmother on my mom's side named me. And then she died too, so now I'm stuck with this ridiculous name.

"Yeah but like it's so fun to use when I need to yell at you! Now hurry up you gotta go to the Great Hall and then we're all heading down to the Quidditch pitch to cheer you on!" I rolled my eyes at George and walked into the bathroom to change, the last thing I heard was Lee asking George if that was my real name.

George, Lee, and I sat down at the Gryffindor table with the Golden Trio, Em, and a few others. Fred wasn't here yet, I wonder what he's up to. Harry looked like he wanted to shove his face in the hash browns, I don't blame him, hash browns are yummy.

"I still think it's kind of weird that Hufflepuffs have to re-tryout every year, what's the point if they already know you're good?" Ron said through a mouthful of waffles.

"Well I think the point is that even if no one on last year's team graduated, that anyone who might want to play gets a chance! I mean wouldn't it suck if you wanted to play but the team was full?" I grabbed a few waffles off the plate before Ron could shove the rest of the waffles in his mouth.

"Yeah bu-" He was cut off by a loud bang, and confetti fell from the sky. I was waiting for it to get all over the food, but it seemed to disappear right above standing height.

"Ladies, Gentlemen, and variations thereof, may I have your attention please?" Fred's voice boomed throughout the Great Hall, what is he up to? I looked over at George, who gave me a shit eating grin, and pointed back at Fred.

"I would like to call to attention, Quinn Rayne Diggory, who I believe is the absolute most adorable person in the whole world." I- what. 

"The first time I ever met Quinn, she was a literal baby, and so was I, so I don't have a fun story about that cause I can't remember that far back, but Quinn, George, and I have been a Troublemaking Trio since day one. Playing pranks, playing Quidditch, and falling for the cutest Hufflepuff I've ever met. Quinn? Would you want to be my girlfriend?" Holy sh-

"Ohmygosh yeah! Is that even a question?!" I ran over and hugged him, kissing him on the cheek. I'm so happy I don't even know how to exist right now ohmygosh.

"Bloody brilliant!" He was grinning and I was smiling like an idiot, George and Lee started wolf whistling and most of the Gryffindor table was cheering. Those idiots knew this was gonna happen.

"Now let's go get you on that Quidditch Team!" He sat me on his shoulder and everyone rushed through the corridors to the pitch. "By the way... you look really cute in your Quidditch uniform."

My broom flew into my hand as I summoned it while walking over to my dear old brother on the pitch. We've been having "open" practices since the beginning of the school year, where whoever wants to try out can condition and get their crap together, so that everyone's ready in case they get on the team. I was on the team last year, before Cedric became the Captain, and now I'm worried he'll be weird about it and not put me on the team.
