A/N: I know, I know, I'm sorry for forgetting to release this to you yesterday...I was lazy and did not feel like it. Please don't kill me, but feel free to throw sporks at me. Just no knives. Anyways, this isn't the best of parts, and I know I kind of basically skipped through the Quidditch tryouts, but you won't believe how impossibly boring and stupid the part sounded when I wrote it with a lengthened version of Quidditch tryouts. Tryouts aren't all that interesting, you see. Anyways, sorry for my rambling and laziness, please enjoy.
Part 8
As the following morning dawned, I felt strangely cheerful. Sunlight seeped through cracks in the heavy curtains into the dormitory.
At breakfast, Goyle was out of the Hospital Wing. Sitting down next to Draco, this was somehow the first thing I noticed. He was sitting next to Crabbe, and he looked somewhat paler than before, but he was shoving sausage down his throat so fast nothing seemed to have changed.
I glanced over at the Hufflepuff table to see that Chris Wood was staring at the figure of Harry Potter at the Gryffindor table. Harry seemed to be deliberately ignoring Chris and quietly conversing with his friends. Turning away, I asked Draco, “Do you think Wood is planning to do something to Potter?”
“I dunno, but wouldn’t that be bloody excellent?” he replied with a grin.
I couldn’t agree with him.
As I continued to silently eat a biscuit slathered with honey, I knew that my cheerful mood had been ruined. After breakfast, it was time for the Quidditch tryouts. I watched as Draco led them in a gittish manner, swinging his new Firebolt 1001 around in everyone’s faces. After a girl named Rose Lacey got the position as keeper, it was time for the chaser tryouts.
I watched as many students went up and showed the best of their ability on the Quidditch field. Finally, it was my turn, and I went up.
I did my best and then it was time to wait out the rest of the tryouts. Finally, it was time for the new chaser to be chosen. As my name was called, I could not believe it. I was on the Quidditch team.
That managed to restore my cheerful mood.
At dinner, I found that Harry Potter was staring at me again. I could feel his eyes boring into the back of my head.
Mumbling an excuse to anyone who might care, I slipped away, but unfortunately for me I was not fast enough. Harry came after me like before.
As he came up, I wondered what he wanted with me this time.
“Hello,” he said, awkwardly.
“Hello,” I replied icily.
“Listen…I’m sorry about the other day. I was just kind of angry about the paper and everything,” he told me.
I nodded, but said nothing. I watched him, my golden eyes cold.
“So, you made the Slytherin team?” he asked. Oh, so he was going to revert to small talk.
“Yes.” Despite any intentions to at least try to be friendly, the word came out of my mouth sounding bitter.
After that he seemed to be panicking. Finally, he came to his point of starting to talk to me in the first place. “How…how did you know that the dementors were going to come and try to attack me and my cousin?” He had lowered his voice, and his expression was now a serious one. Then, looking around warily, he led me into an empty corridor farther from any nosy eavesdroppers.
“I told you,” I replied. “I had a dream about it.”
Harry nodded. “Yes, but why did you come?”
I froze then, hardly knowing how to explain it. “I...” My voice faltered. “I just knew it was going t-to come true.”
“Is that true?” he asked.
I nodded. Then, he turned away for a moment. When he turned back to face me, he didn’t seem as intense.
“I’m sorry for being so edgy…I’ve just been wondering.”
“Me too,” I said.
Then, he just stood there for a moment, saying nothing. “I suppose I should go,” I decided, and turned to leave, but he put a hand on my shoulder to stop me.
“We’re ok, right? No…um, no hard feelings?” he asked.
