Triangle Problem 2

[223]

Yn Lestrange/Snape POV

It's time for my first Quidditch training. It's afternoon and it's going to be night soon. Tom is at Herbology class. Boring. Anyway. I get ready, take my wand and leave quickly for the Quidditch locker room. As I arrived I came face to face with the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. Marcus Flint.

"You made it" he says.

"I said I will".

"Okay then. Change into the clothes for the training and come outside".

"I'll be right there".

I grab the clothes and change. After I grab my broomstick and walk outside. The whole team is here. Including Draco. When he sees me he looks confused but smiles at me. I smile back at him.

"Yn is here to try and be a seeker" Marcus says and looks at me.

"But I am a seeker" Draco says.

"You're a keeper from now on. If Yn fails you will still be a seeker".

"I don't fail" I say.

"We will see. Let's start. We will become two teams for now. Yn and Draco will be the seekers of each team. Let's start".

We all start. Draco and I look at each other and nod. We start flying as fast as we can in order to catch the ball (I don't remember how it is called). Draco and I are next to each other but I managed to fly faster and finally I caught it. The game ended and we all flew back to the ground.

"You're the new seeker but don't think that it's easy. The Hufflepuff seeker is good".

"Who's he?".

"Diggory. He is fast".

"He won't be able to catch it before me, Marcus. They are not going to win".

"Let's hope you are right. Tonight is the game. Don't be late".

"I'm never late".

He nods at me. We all change back to our clothes and walk away. Draco and I walk together at the Great Hall.

"You were good" he says.

"Thank you. I guess I learned from watching you 6 years now" he chuckles.

"I guess you did".

We arrive at the Great Hall. I see Tom and Mattheo sitting together. Lorenzo, Theodore and Blaise are sitting next to them. We go and sit down. As we sit down Tom looks at me.

"Where were you guys? We were searching everywhere for you" Theodore says. Draco and I look at each other.

"Quidditch training" Draco says and looks back to the boys.

"You're not in Quidditch" Mattheo points at me.

"I am a seeker" they all look at me.

"She is in the team and I can say that she is really good at it" Draco says and smiles at me.

"We will see you tonight then, Yn" Blaise says.

"You better do" I look at Tom.

We all start eating. When we are all done, we go back to our dorms. I go and take a quick shower so I can relax. After I changed and walked outside.

"Will you come to the game?" I ask Tom as I dried my hair with my wand.

"Yeah. I wanna see you playing" I smile at him. 

"Thank you".

"You better go before you are late" I nod at him.

"I'll wait to see you. Please. Come" he nods and I walk away.

I walked down the hall and came face to face with Draco. We walked together at the Quidditch locker room. We changed and grabbed our broomsticks.

"Ready, guys?" Marcus says and we all nod.

The game starts. We fly there. Cedric is right in front of me and stares at me. I stare back at him. The game starts. Cedric and I fly next to each other. I suddenly stop but he continues. I concentrate and look around. I found it. I flew there as fast as I could. I see Cedric flying behind me. I manage to catch it easily. The game ends with us winning. Cedric and I look at each other.

"Welcome to Quidditch, I guess" he says and smiles.

"Thank you" I smile back.

We all fly back to our separate locker rooms and change. We leave our broomsticks but then Marcus comes at me.

"You stopped".

"Because I had to concentrate and catch the ball".

"Does that work?".

"You must always take a step back and concentrate".

"If you say so".

"See you tomorrow, Marcus".

"See you tomorrow".

I walk outside. Draco and I start walking back to our dorms. I didn't see Tom at the game. He didn't come. He said he will but he didn't. I hope nothing bad happened.
