IT'S BEEN A FEW WEEKS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY AND TODAY IT'S THE QUIDDITCH MATCH AGAINST SLYTHERIN. In my uniform, I walk into the great hall. Emma Vanity is waiting for me at the table. "What do you want Vanity?" "I just came to wish you good luck and a warning to stay away from Nathaniel." "Or else?" I whisper as I come closer. My friends who are already sitting at the table look at our conversation in silence. "Ladies, is there something wrong here?" Emma who was about to say something looks up. "Nothing is going on, Charles." She says angrily and that makes me smile. I love it when people get fed up with me. "It doesn't look like nothing." "Why would you care?" I decide not to say something because Emma is handling this just fine on her own. "Because I am the only one who can play games with her. You said it yourself during practice. You are on Collins duty." Emma rolls her eyes and after that, she walks to her own table. "Wow, you saved me, Garfield. I didn't know you had that in you." "We both know I didn't save you. I saved her." I grin while running my hand through my hair. "True, true. Did you come here, just for that?" He laughs a bit and after he looks at my friends. "Actually I did not, but I am not sure if you want to discuss that here." "Well I would love to discuss it here, so come to the point." He steps a bit closer but I don't step back. "Did you already find out what kind of bracelet I gave you?" "I-" "You didn't, did you? Well, I will let you in on that secret." He steps even closer and I know I should create some distance but I can't. "What is it?" I try to keep my cool, especially with my friends. He wipes away some of my hair and brings his lips to my ear. "While wearing that bracelet, I got inside on every conversation you were having with everyone...At first, it was just about the quidditch insides, but then I heard a special conversation between you and Sirius Black and later that day another one with your best friend Josephine." He says loud enough for me to hear it. I sigh and get myself back together. "You know as well as I do that a marriage won't stop me from doing stuff with others," I say with a grin while ignoring the thing about me and Jo. "Yeah, I heard about that." He says and I know the others can hear us again. "Heard? I thought you were one of them." He smirks as he steps back. There is a silence at my table, but also at his'. If I could get a picture of Emma Vanity's face, I would make it right now. "You're good." He says with a grin and I bite my lip a bit. "So are you, but it's still 5-3. See you at the game, Garfield." I walk past him and sit down with my friends who all look at me. Suddenly someone else sits down. "So, what did I miss?" Isaac.

"AND THE GAME HAS STARTED!" I quickly catch the quaffle and throw it at Isaac before someone can take it from me. I lean forward on my broom to get to the rings and luckily I am there just in time Keith who got the quaffle from Isaac throws it to me and after I score! "COLLINS SCORES! 10 POINTS FOR RAVENCLAW!" I fly back with a smile on my face and give a high five to the boys. Emma gets the quaffle and throws it to Noah who is going for the attack. I race towards him and smash him to his side. He didn't expect that and drops the quaffle. "Sorry, not sorry." I smile at him before flying away. I score again and the audience starts to cheer.
