"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." (Draco x Y/N)

Quidditch

It was a windy, cold but exciting morning. I, Draco, and Theo were nestled in the upper corner of the stands, attending the Quidditch game. It was Ravenclaws vs Hufflepuff. Jackson was narrating the play by play of course. Most of the Gryffindors are rooting for Huffelpuffs and most of the Slytherins root for Ravenclaws. I, Draco, and Theo were no exception. Ravenclaw was objectively better than Hufflepuff.

Besides, Melody was the team seeker and she was a helluva player. Even going against, Merrin, her cousin. The Sables were a big and prestigious family. People tended to forget that. But I can list them. Morgan, Merrin, Melody, and Maine, were unique since it's one sable per Hogwarts house. I took a peek and saw Theo gaze longingly at the Ravenclaw keeper. I followed his gaze and saw a petite girl. She had long, unruly caramel brown hair. She flew with grace, often blocking the shots from entering the hoop. The players zoomed around on their brooms, passing the ball and avoiding the bludgers.

The first quarter just finished and they were wrapped up in a tie. 4 to 4. The keeper was the sole reason why Ravenclaw stayed afloat. Demaris usually blocked the ball using the tail end of her broom. Like she was kicking it away. During the second quarter, Melody spotted the snitch.

I witnessed her swoop and dodge through the players, pursuing the snitch along with Merrin. It was a close game. With the two seekers, toe to toe, and the other players desperately trying to get past the Keeper, who I heard from Jackson was named Demaris. They were evenly matched in all sense of the word. "Score! Ravenclaw's very own Cho Chang scored against Cedric Diggory! The score now holds as 5 to 4. Ravenclaw in the lead.

Theo cheered every time Demaris blocked a goal. "GO DEMARIS!" He hollered from the stands. Draco gave me a knowing smirk. "Seems like you admire her." He teased, poking at Theo's side. Theo sighed. Putting on a huge grin. "Who wouldn't." He pined. His eyes were watching Demaris's every movement. It seems that he's down bad for her. Demaris was oblivious of course, opting to pay attention to the game as she should.

It was now up to the seekers, we were witnessing the 4th quarter. Merrin and Melody flew toe to toe until Melody decided to pull off a risk play. She rolled up and flew upside down, paralleling Merrin. Merrin noticed way too late.  She then scooped her hand down and wrapped her fingers around the snitch. "AND MELODY CAUGHT THE SNITCH! RAVENCLAW WINS!" The crowd erupted in cheers as Melody flew down to the field. The whole team swarmed her, lifting her up from the ground and parading her around.

I and the boys were at the Ravenclaw quidditch afterparty. The common room was regal and royal, bookshelves acted like walls as everyone was getting drunk on firewhisky. Except the kids, who wore red bands to signify that they were underaged. Melody cracked open a cold one from the fridge. She was the one who supplied the alcohol of course. Demaris ruffled her hair, a smile gracing her lips. "C'mon mate, just talk to her." Draco slapped Theo on the biceps. Theo awkwardly looked her up and down. "I can't just-"

"Hey, Demaris!" I waved her down. She looked at me. "Theo wants to get to know you, can you come over here and introduce yourself for me?" She gave me a grin, striding over and addressing the shy and fidgety bloke. "The names Demaris, Demaris Culpeper ." She shook Theo's hand. "My name is Theodore Nott. You can call me Theo." He stared into her eyes, which was a light blue. Demaris giggled. "Theodore Nott is such a unique name. It is a pleasure to meet you. Let's sit, I want to know everything about you." She tugged Theo over to the comfy navy blue couch and sat next to him. Theo was fidgeting, making sure to give her enough space but she scooted closer.

"Theo and Demaris. Who knew." Melody came up from behind me, with a cold beer in her hand. "She helps me smuggle this stuff in, you know that right? She pays for it and bribes the security." Melody downed her beer. "So she's rich," Draco confirmed. Melody nodded. "Rich as all hell. And knows how to party."
