The Journey

Flying Before Quidditch

So, I walked onto the field and saw Malfoy there. He had two brooms.

"Don't tell me you're gonna try to fly in that?" He grinned.

"No of course not." I put my earbuds in my pocket closing my eyes. Silver sparks covered me as Malfoy watched confused. I then was wearing a plaid tunic long sleeve shirt. The base was black, and the rest was yellow, with a pair of black cargo pants, and a pair of spiked, heeled combat boots. My grey hair now in a tight messy bun.

"Better?" I shrugged.

"Much." He gulped handing me a broom. I was comfortable with the broom just because of flying class of course.

"So. Uhm. We're gonna start with posture right?" I gulped. My eyes were now bright blue.

"Haha. No. I knew I'd never get you off the ground unless given an incentive. So. Celestial...meet Bludger. This thing is cursed. To follow you around until I think you've had enough incentive to start flying." The box was shaking as the Bludger was strapped into a case with other Quidditch pieces.

"You wouldn't dare!" I growled.

"Oh. But I would." He grinned un strapping it letting it fly at my head. I ducked quickly as it just missed my head. I looked back at him terrified. My eyes ice blue.

That's when I heard a buzzing from behind me. I ducked once more as I hopped on my broom stick trying to take off. But it wasn't working. I'd only go a few feet in the air. It hit me knocking me off my broomstick. I rolled on the field. I couldn't breathe. I was having an anxiety attack I could feel it.

"Malfoy!" I screamed.

"Come on. Up ya go. You got this." He shrugged. That's when Fred came running to the field.

"I thought I heard someone screaming!" He said.

"Use you're ear thingys!" He said stopping for a second. I pulled them out and started playing my music. It was as if I was in a whole different world. I took my deep breath and once again mounted my broom.

I managed to fly a little faster, it kinda felt nice. I...I think I could get used to this. Then I remembered the Bludger was still chasing me. It ended up in front of me now. I flung myself upside down. Spinning.

"CALL IT OFF!" I heard Fred yell.

"She's doing good! Look at her!" He laughed happily.

"Good! She can pass, call it off! Or I will!" He grabbed Malfoy's collar. At that moment it slammed into my broom breaking it. I fell from a few feet in the air hitting the ground.

"CELEST!" Fred ran over to me as Malfoy took the curse off the bludger.

My sleeve was slightly torn as I held my arm in pain.

"Are you alright? What's on your arm!?" Fred started to peak as Malfoy came over quickly.

"I'm fine!" I pulled my arm away as Malfoy helped me up.

"Look what you did you could've gotten her killed!" Fred was furious. Twila came running out of the school.

"I saw what happened are you alright!?" She took me from both of them and walked me to the hospital wing.

"He was helping get the hang of flying so I could pass." I sighed.

"Maybe. You should hang out at Hagrid's for a while huh? I think you've had enough Quidditch for the day." She sighed.

"I think you're right..." I had my arm in a sling not long later as I made my way to Hagrid's hut.
