I woke up early today because I was just too excited to tryout for quidditch.
Well I really want to tryout for seeker but I would be great as a beater too. I enter the common room. As I woke up early there was no one in the common room.
I sat on an armchair near the window because the black lake fascinates me a lot. I get to see new creatures and I think one mermaid comes here often. I was looking through the window when I saw a creature pass through. I go near the window and look closely. What I saw was the scariest thing I have ever seen.
There was a fish but not an ordinary one. It had three horns and it was an ugly colour of yellow. It's teeth were red like blood. And it had fully green eyes. And one thing I noticed the most was that instead of fins it claw like thing coming out of the area where the fins are supposed to be.
I shuddered looking at the creature. Then I thought of going to breakfast. So I went to the great hall. I ate a sandwich with some orange juice. I then put my name on the list of tryouts as a seeker and as a beater both.
Students started entering the great hall. I just went towards the trio and started talking.
“ Good morning!”
“Good morning y/n!”
“ So which class do you guys have?” I asked.
“ Defence against the dark arts. I can't wait to see Professor Lockhart and look how is robe matches him.” Hermione said pointing towards the staff table.
“ Hermione you have been talking about him since yesterday. There's nothing special about him.” Ron said
Harry and I nodded in agreement.
After breakfast we went to DADA class. Ron and I sat together while Harry sat with Hermione. Soon enough everyone is in the classroom.
Professor Lockhart come through his office's door.
“ Meet your new DADA teacher me Professor Gilderoy Lockhart order of Merlin third class and honorary winner of witch weekly's most charming smile”
“ Yeah I bet they mistaked charming with ugly.” I said
Ron silently laughed at my joke.
“ But I didn't get rid of the Banshee by just smiling at her. Now we will start our class by a short little quiz.”
He passed the quiz papers throughout the class.
Ron started reading the questions.
“ What is Girderoy Lockharts favorite colour?”
“ I am just gonna write Pink.” I said
“and I am gonna write red.” he said.
“ What is Gilderoy Lockharts favorite ice cream flavour?” Ron read the question.
“ How the hell are we supposed to know that?” Ron asked
“ Well I am just gonna write random stuff and how the hell is Hermione writing the answers easily.”
Enough after guessing answers. Our so called Professor took our so called test papers and started checking them.
“ No one guessed my favorite colour was Lilac but Miss Granger knew my secret ambition but one more thing excluding all the boys only one girl got zero in the test. Might I say who is Miss y/l/n?”
Oh shoot I am done. My goose is cooked. Will he give me detention or what.
“ Miss y/l/n would you please stand up.”
I stood up silently.
“Miss y/l/n. I am guessing you don't understand English that's why there were errors in your test.”
“ Well Professor I would like to say that this wasn't even considered a test. Like literally every question was about you. And this is also not considered teaching.”
I think I said too much. Shit! I am totally screwed.
“ Well I would rather say you haven't read my books have you?”
“ I wasn't feeling interested in reading them because I am not a great fan of you like others.”
Ron tugged my robe from underneath the desk telling me to shut my mouth.
“ Oh well then let's just start with something practical to show you that I can teach.”
I sat back down.
“ That was BLOODY BRILLIANT y/n. How did you manage to have enough courage to argue with a teacher.” Ron said.
“ It is my duty to teach you to face the foulest of creature. I don't want anyone to scream or it might provoke them.” So called Professor said while walking towards a cage covered with a piece of cloth.
Every one was on the edge of the bench. Interested in what might be in the cage.
He took the cloth of the cage in a dramatic way.
Really Cornish pixies. I have read about them. They are mischievous but that is not scary.
Seamus snorted. And said
“ Cornish pixies”
"Professor Lockhart" fixed him by saying
“ Freshly caught Cornish pixies.”
And then he did an unexpected but foolish thing. He freaking opened the cage sending the pixies flying in every direction.
Some students ran out of the class. Two of the pixies held Neville by his ears and hanged him onto the chandelier. Poor boy.
“ Why is it always me?” Neville said.
Some of the pixies sprayed ink on the students and then our so called Professor took out his wand and performed a spell which was just useless but soon enough a pixie got hold of his wand and threw it out the window. And Gilderoy said
“ You four just nip them in the cage.”
“ You gotta be kidding me!” I said
Thanks to Hermione though. She knew a spell to stop them. After putting all the pixies in the cage we exited the class.
“ What was he trying to do?” Ron said
“Oh! He didn't mean to do that he was just trying to give us hands on experience” Hermione replied
“ Yeah yeah hands on experience” I scoffed.
I had to go because our quidditch team captain Marcus Flint wanted us for tryouts.
I went for the tryouts I tried out for both seeker and beater. Marcus kept me as a seeker.
But when we came back Professor Snape called us in to his office. Draco was standing there.
“Mr Flint I want to talk to the whole team.”
“ OK professor.”
“ Well Mr Malfoy wants to become a seeker-”
“ But Profeesor we have already got a great seeker.”
“Who would that be?”
“ Y/l/n here is going to be our new seeker.”
“ Well you might want change your decision because Mr Malfoy, Draco's father wanst to donate our team new brooms which happen to be Nimbus 2001's.”
Oh! So he is buying his way in. That little git trying to take my position. I bet he did it just to show off in front of Harry and he was jealous of Harry too.
“ Oh that's quite a great deal for a seeker. Sorry y/l/n but you have to go to the position of a beater. But you can be our substitute seeker if something happens to Malfoy.”
“Okay” I say while gritting my teeth and glaring at Malfoy.
“ Now I would like you to train our new seeker” said Professor Snape.
“ But Professor the Gryffindor team has booked the field to train their team.” said Flint.
“Here take my note. This will be enough.”
“ Okay sir.” Flint says
When we reached the courtyard the Gryffindor team was were in the courtyard too.
“We booked the field today Flint.” Oliver Wood Gryffindor team's captain said with disgust.
Marcus gave Oliver the note. He read it aloud for the whole Gryffindor team to hear.
“New seeker eh. Who is it?”
Malfoy comes out of the crowd.
“Malfoy” Harry growled.
“ Malfoy's father also gave the whole team new brooms.” Marcus brags.
“Those are Nimbus 2001's. Where did you get them.” Ron exclaims.
“ You see Weasley unlike some my father can afford the best.”
“Malfoy don't you dare say a word against my friends!” I say
“ Oh yeah just shut up.” Malfoy replies.
Soon enough Hermione butted in to save me
“Well at least no one in the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in.”
“No one asked for your opinion mudblood.”
Somehow I was used to being called mudblood. But Ron got in front of Hermione.
“ How dare you say that Malfoy. Eat Slugs!”
But due to Ron's broken wand the spell backfired. Ron fell to the ground and gags.
I ran up to Ron. So does Hermione and Harry.
“Ron are you okay?” I said.
But before he could answer he throws up a slug.
“We should take him to Hagrid's.” Harry recommends
“But Y/l/n we have to practice for our match.”
“You know what Flint!? I won't join the team until and unless Malfoy learns how to respect my friends or if he leaves the team. I have had enough. Malfoy calls me mudblood but I don't mind it because I am used to it but he called my cousin a mudblood.” I say very fast.
“ But y/n this is your only chance. You always wanted to play quidditch.” Hermione insists.
“No Hermione I don't want to be in a team with a spoilt rich old brat. It will be a disgrace to me.” I say.
“You know what mudblood. My father does not like you. I just told him to behave like that so I could make fun of you later. And it worked.” he said.
“You fu----” I was about to say but Hermione stops me.
“Y/n Language!”
“Learn how to respect your seniors mudblood.”
“ I know just the right way to respect you.” I launch myself towards him and crash him to the ground.
I sat on his stomach and was ready to punch him square in the face but someone stopped me. I look up to see who was holding my hand. It was George.
“George leave my hand I want to teach this spoilt brat a lesson.”
“Y/n control you anger.” Fred says.
I get off him and stand up. He also stands up and starts laughing that I was scared of him. Well George had released my hand and there was no great opportunity than this. I clenched my fist tight and punched him right in the stomach.
“Ouuuchh! MY FATHER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!” Malfoy said and ran away.
“Come on let's take Ron to Hagrid's” I say.
Everyone was looking at me with disbleif but guess what that is how I am.
