Celeste Shalom and the Philosopher's Stone

~Chapter 10~ {The new nurse}

'HARRY POTTER!'

Celeste heart sinked, she knew that voice, Professor McGonagall was running towards them. She saw Harry got to his feet, trembling.

'Never – in all my time at Hogwarts –'

Professor McGonagall was almost speechless with shock, and her glasses flashed furiously, '– how dare you – might have broken your neck –'

'It wasn't his fault, Professor –'

'Be quiet, Miss Shalo –'

'But Malfoy –'

'That's enough, Mr Weasley. Potter, follow me, now.'

Celeste caught sight of Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle's triumphant faces as Harry left, walking numbly in Professor McGonagall's wake as she strode towards the castle. He was going to be expelled, Celeste just knew it. Celeste wanted to follow them and as Celeste was Celeste she did. She herd Hermione calling out her name as she followed Harry and the professor. But before she could even cross the field Madam Promfrey appeared out of no were. Celeste froze causing Hermione, who was running behind her to stop her, paused too.

"Ahh Celeste Shalom the person I was just looking for!" Madam Promfrey exclaimed happily.

Celeste was shocked.

"You were?"

Madam Promfrey nodded gesturing the two to follow her.

Hermione and Celeste held hands as they followed Madam Promfrey to the first aid.

Madam Promfrey cleared her voice and began, "Well, Madam Hooch was just talking to me and I just want to ask if you would want to be the quidditch aider"

Celeste raised an eyebrow, "What's an quidditch aider?"

"Well since Gryffindor has a lot of accidents when it comes too quidditch Madam Hooch and I thought that we should create sort of a quidditch aider. We couldn't find anyone suited for the job except for you" Madam Promfrey said smiling, "You will also be a back up quidditch player"

Hermione smiled at Celeste gesturing her to agree with it and so Celeste did.

'You're joking.'

It was dinner time. Celeste and Hermione had just finished telling Lavender and Parvati what had happened when they'd left the grounds with Madam promfrey. Lavender had a piece of steak-and-pea pie halfway to her mouth, but she'd forgotten all about it.

'Quidditch aider? I've never heard of that and I thought first years weren't aloud to be apart of quidditch' Lavender said while Parvati chatted with Hermione about homework.

'Neither had I but Miss. Pomfrey said that since the Gryffindor players usually get hurt so she needs an assistant and she said I was the perfect fit' Celeste said proudly.

Then lavender went down in a whisper, "Did you know Harry is the Gryffindor seeker", Celeste arched an eye brow, "Seeker! But first years aren't aloud to be in Quidditch!".

Lavender scoffed, "says the one who's also apart of the Quidditch team"

"I'm not really" Celeste protested, "If you don't believe me then go ask him yourself!" Lavender said wiggling her eyebrow's then eating another piece of steak.

Celeste scoffed in reply and stood up brushing crumbs of her skirt.

"And so I will!"

Celeste walked up to Harry and said in her typical broad voice, "Potter!"

Harry in the middle of eating a piece of pumpkin pie, looked at her and so did Ron.

"They say you're on the Quidditch team" Then she looked at him with her piercing Emerald eyes, "Is it true?"

But instead of Harry replying Ron did it for him.

"Yes indeed he is! Are you jealous Shalom?"

"Not at all" Celeste said confidently, "I'm the Quidditch Aider"

Ron arched an eye-brow. "I've never heard of a Quidditch Aider"

"Well now you have" Celeste said strutting back to her seat.

But as she sat on her seat she felt someone looking at her. She new who it was.

Up at the Slytherin table Draco heard everything Celeste said.

Not only was she on their side, she was on their team.

But he never wanted to leave her alone. Nor did she too he.
