Quidditch :)

The beautiful lake was quiet and still, the only sound in the air was our laughter and light conversations.

"You know, we have a quidditch game against slytherin tomorrow"
Harry stated

"Yes! I love watching you guys play quidditch, it's a shame that blaise is on the opposing team though"
I sighed at the fact that my best friends are in opposing houses

"Well you can be there for him too, we know hes your best friend"
Ron told me, reassuringly

"You guys are the best"
I responded gratefully

They continued their conversations as hermione and i read our books in comfortable silence.

*the next day*

I awoke at around 7am after an okay nights sleep. I've been having nightmares still but not as bad as before. Today is the day of the gryffindor vs slytherin quidditch match! Gryffindor usually beat them but I'm rooting for both teams so it's a win win to be honest.

I got ready into my robes and braided my hair into two dutch braids, combed some mascara through my eyelashes and added some clear lipgloss to my lips. I made my way to the common room and met up with hermione, ron and harry.

"I need to go find blaise to wish him good luck! I'll meet you guys at the field?"
I suggested

They agreed and I walked off to the slytherin common room to find blaise.

I searched through the crowded, stone halls and couldnt see him anywhere so as I arrived at the common room I waited outside..

The painting suddenly shifted aside and out stormed malfoy. Great.

"What are you doing here?"
He asked cruely

"Is blaise in there?"
I asked bluntly, ignoring his question

"No he went to the changing rooms already"
He replied with no expression

"Oh, okay then. Well.. good luck in the game"
I smiled, I know hes rude to me, hates me even, but I just like to be polite

"T-thanks?"
He said, confused

I turned around and walked happily towards the quidditch field where I saw just the person I was looking for.

"BLAISE!"
I called out as I ran and engulfed him in a tight hug

"Hey ell!"
He hugged me back

"I've been looking for you"
I told him as we released eachother from the hug

"You have?"
He asked questioningly

"I just havent seen you since yesterday morning and wanted to say good luck in the game"
I gave him a bright smile

"Thanks ell, hang after the game?"
He asked sweetly

"I'll meet you outside the changing rooms!"
I responded

"See you then!"
He said as he hugged me once more and then rushed off to the pitch.

I made my way quickly up the stands and found hermione, we sat together and chatted briefly until the game began.

I love quidditch. I love watching people zooming by on their brooms, chasing each other, flashes of bodies going after the balls. Its calming. I used to ride brooms with my dad, I'm not actually bad at it! I've just never thought I was good enough to actually play a game.

The match ended with harry catching the golden snitch, scoring 100 points for gryffindor and bringing the game to an end. Malfoy stormed off of the pitch with an angry yet scared expression on his face and I had an urge to go after him and see what was wrong but I stayed in my seat.

Waiting outside of the boys changing rooms was not a fun experience. The smell of sweaty, smelly teenage boys was not a pleasant one. I got questioning stares but I just brushed it off until one stare in particular caught my eye.

"Draco!"
I called out as he had just turned away

He turned back to face me and widened his eyes as if asking me to continue so I did

"Is everything okay?"
I asked, genuinely concerned

"I'm fine!"
He blurted out harshly

"S-sorry I didnt mean to annoy you"
I responded, kind of afraid

"No- I just... dont worry about it"
He sighed as if desperate to say something but not able to get it out

"If you need to talk-"
I was cut off by him walking over to me at a fast pace and lightly taking ahold of my arm and pulling me into an empty room...
