A Messy Path | Harry Potter Fanfic|

Chapter 15 - Werewolves

Early mornings at Hogwarts were a disaster , more annoying when it was raining on the Quidditch pitch. The whole team stood in the line , waiting for captain's words. Marcus Flint was walking around the pitch in circles , eyeing every Slytherin that was standing nearly. He finally stopped and leaned on his broom.

Yesterday , right after stepping inside your dorm , a broom was landed on your bed , in a package. You took it and grabbed Adrian by his collar asking where it came from. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled , which he was trying to hide. That's how you got your new broom , Nimbus 2001.

-"Okay , Slytherins who want to be beaters , step in front."

Three fourth years stepped forward and glared at each other. Everyone had competitive faces and their blank expressions never changed.

-"Slytherins who want to be chasers, step forward."

You and two other Slytherins stepped forward. One of them was Graham Montague, brown haired pale boy, as annoying as any other team members. The other one wasn't familiar, so you didn't put much thought. Flint took his broom and flied up in the air , motioning all of you to come up. You tightened your hold on the broom and started the tryouts.

   Flint let out all of the balls on the pitch and the tryouts started. New keepers stood on the each side of the pitch , guarding it with their brooms. The old and a new seeker started to chase the golden snitch with full speed. Adrian and other guy started their work. You were left with other chasers.

    Graham got the quaffle first and started to make his way to the keeper. You and some other chasers went after him, trying to get the ball. But he was fast and proceed to throw it through the hoop. Some of the Slytherins on the benches started yelling his name and booed on other members. You scoffed and chased another chaser, to get the quaffle in your hands. You proceed to knock him out and catch the ball successfully.

     After getting the quaffle, keeper was watching you with dedication and started to wander around the three hoops. You threw the ball with all the strength, which got through the hoop. Everyone started to cherish you and Marcus Flint smirked at you.

After some time, the other chasers managed to get 100 points together, but you earned 100 points alone. Flying on the broom was easier than you thought, but you still had to learn some more.

You and Graham were new chasers of the team and Adrian was proud of you.

Third years were allowed to go to Hogsmeade this year, the only thing everyone needed was writing from their parents for approval. You had it easy, because your father was right there, so you and Adrian were ready for the trip.

-"I really want some candy. Do you?."

The village was little, but it was said to be very cool in winter, because of the snow. Little shops around made it better and everything was near.

-"Let's go to Honeydukes, we have nothing else to do."

Adrian said and grabbed your wrist, dragging you to the candy shop. It was small and cute, many types of candies on each shelve. Adrian managed to get a lot of it and bought it for you too.

-"Dude-" you said and looked at the candies in the bag. -" You didn't have to get so much."

He looked you up and down, and got his chocolate frog out of the bag. You sighed and continued your way through the village, getting to know the whole place. A sudden hit on your shoulder made you stop in your tracks and look over Adrian who dropped the bag and slightly clutched near you.
