I SIT IN THE GREAT HALL ENJOYING MY BREAKFAST AS THE HEAD BOY GIVES ME MY SCHEDULE. "Thank you," I smile at him before he walks away. I put my book on the table and closely look at my schedule. Soon I find out that the quidditch practises will be on Tuesday and Friday. "We still don't know who the captain is." Isaac sits down next to me while reading his schedule. "Well, it is not me, because I didn't get a letter," I say as I run my hand through my hair. "As long as it's not-" "Hey Collins," We both turn around only to see Hudson's evil twin, Nathaniel. "-him."
Finishes Isaac, what makes me laugh. "What do you want Lanchester?" I say while looking up and down for a moment. "Chill, Collins. I just came to tell you about the big news." "What big news?" Isaac rolls his eyes and turns back to the table to grab something to eat. "Oh, you didn't hear yet? I am going to be quidditch captain this year." Both me and Isaac groan loud. "Great," I mumble annoyed. "As you also know, I need to have a second opinion, and because Flitwick would kill me if you aren't in the team next year, you are going to do that." Nathaniel continues. "Who says I want to do that?" The moment the words leave my mouth, Isaac strikes me. "Ouch,-" "I say that you want that, right, Luce?" He gives me a look, and I finally realise what he wants. "Fine, I will." "I knew you couldn't resist me." I roll with my eyes and through an iron cup to his head. "Leave, Lanchester. You are polluting the air." Both Isaac and I give him a middle finger, which makes him walk away.
Hudson, August, Jo and Lianna sit down as well. "What did my brother want?" Hudson follows Nathaniel with his eyes till he sits down with his friends. "He came to tell us that he is the quidditch captain this year," I say as I open my book again. "Bloody hell, are you serious? I hope you two keep your positions." Says Lianna concerned. "Well, our dear Lucy does." Says Isaac with a small smile. "Because?" Jo looks confused, and I don't blame her. "Because Nathanial just asked her to be his right hand." "No way!" Hudson says as he runs his hand through his hair. "He did not!" "Oh, he did," Isaac laughs a bit. "It ruined his big news about being captain though." "Stop it guys; he told us that Flitwick forced him." "Of course he did." Jo grins what makes me roll my eyes.

After breakfast, I walk to class with Isaac. As we arrive at the dungeons, he looks at me. "I have to go to Transfiguration." He says as he looks at the people who are already here. "I thought my schedule was bad, but yours is the worst of all. You have so many classes with Slytherin." The students look arrogant at Isaac, who rolls with his eyes. "I will survive, don't worry." He smiles one last time and after he walks away. The other Ravenclaws give me a judging look, and the Slytherins also don't look friendly. Great. Luckily Slughorn saves me by opening the door. "Come in guys and sit down." Everyone walks inside. I look around and see a few open seats. One next to who needs to wash his hair, I don't like him. There is another one next to a girl from Ravenclaw, she's boring, and there is one in Nathaniel's group, next to Charles Garfield. I roll my eyes and walk to the seat next to Charles, who looks up as I sit down.
