After, you know, saving Scorpius' dignity and all, he's speaking to me again. I should think so! Tryouts for Gryffindor seeker are today, and I think I'll enter. I always play seeker when we're playing at home. Dads seeker on one team, I'm seeker on the other. I often win.

I pull on my new seeker's Jersey, and walk out, clutching my new firebolt 2.0 like a baby. I got it last year, we all got new brooms. James went for a firebolt too, Albus got a shooting star, lily asked for a comet 590.

I tried out, catching golf balls, and caught every one perfectly. It was perfect, if I do say so myself. Stacie wood, Oliver wood's niece, is this quidditch captain for Gryffindor. She claps, and says "wow, you sure take after your dad!".

As you can tell, I got seeker. A large sheet of paper is nailed up in the board.

I do a mini triumph dance which is unfortunately spotted by Scorpius.

"Hey, ari, are you having a seizure?" He laughs, his caramel brown eyes glinting mischievously.

I laugh and say, "in your dreams, scorp!" I jab him with my wand.

He jabs me back and we have a full-on jabbing match.

My sister lily walks past, muttering "stupid kids..."

"Speak for yourself, lily!" I shout, and grin at Scorpius. Lily shoots a curse at me, which I deflect easily.

Scorpius and I run out of the common room and round a corner. I sit giggling until his face comes closer to me, closer and closer until...

"ARIANA! What do you think you're doing?!"
