Storms Ahead

|Chapter thirty four : Celebrations|

"Well well well Minnie. Regret your decision?" I asked with a grin as I walked behind her in the hall and she turned around with the smallest smile, trying her best to hide it

"Something I'll say Amelia is I'm glad that this was your first game"

"Is that because you're happy that I wasn't on the team for the first match against Gryffindor?" I asked laughing as she turned and started walking away as a surge of noise came from behind me as I turned around and looked at the Slytherin team that were pretty much running down the corridor as I turned back to her as she looked at me

"You would look better in red robes, I'll say that"

"I'm afraid to say it but I disagree" I told her laughing as she disappeared and I was ran into as I was pushed in the direction of the common room laughing, grins on our faces as we tumbled in, getting greeted by loud cheers and I was grabbed as Pansy stared at me grinning and the other three came over

"You're on the team?!"

"Yes-"

"And didn't tell us?!"

"I was to keep it a secret!" I told them all laughing as I was dragged away, getting pulled down onto a couch next to the team as I let out another laugh.
Awhile having past I looked at Miles as he and Adrian sat opposite me and I was slid a glass of firewhiskey

"What's the dumbest thing you've done?"

"Should I start listing things?" I asked laughing as they sat with grins and I started crossing things off in my head, deciding what not to tell them before looking back to them

"I've ate a marshmallow while it was still on fire if that counts"

"Have you actually?"

"Yes-"

"Did it hurt?"

"I can't remember. All I do remember is that it was on fire and I ate it" I shrugged as Miles drew his wand and swished it, both a singular marshmallow and lighter appearing on the table in front of me as I instantly set the glass down, heavily deciding against taking a drink as I sighed slightly and picked them both up. Raising the lit lighter to the marshmallow I instantly set it on fire before putting it in my mouth, my mouth growing hot as it disappeared quickly and I finished with a grin, getting a small round of applause from the two as I gave a small bow, laughing before tossing the drink back while I was dragged to my feet and hauled away in an instant

"What's happening?!" I asked loudly as I was shoved into the dorm as I whipped around to Pansy and Daphne

"What did I do?"

"How long have-?"

"Have you been on the team?"

"Since the first quidditch lesson when I was hauled away with Potter. Well, I tell a lie actually, it was awhile after that, like two weeks? That's when I was properly on the team"

"It's been that long?!"

"Yes-"

"Why did you keep the secret?!"

"Because I didnae ken if any of you three would open your gobs and start tellin' people!" I told them loudly, a smile on my face as they took a step back and looked at me

"What?"

"You're Scottish?"

"You didn't know?" I asked ludicrously, watching the two of them shake their heads as I gaped at them

"How did you not know?"

"We just never thought about it-"

"Or heard your accent" Daphne pointed out as I shook my head amused, going up the stairs as Pansy tried to run past me and I grabbed her, swinging her down to the floor of the common room as I pinned her down with a smirk

"I can't believe you're all trusted in a dorm together" looking up I glanced at Blaise with a grin as Pansy turned her head to him as Daphne moved behind us and I looked at him

"Excuse me. We are four very sophisticated women"

"Yesterday we decided to eat a vegetable-"

"Fifteen minutes ago I saw you eat a marshmallow while it was still on fire" Blaise said, cutting across Pansy as she craned her neck to look at me while I looked away with a smile

"Very sophisticated... and sensible"

"Far from sensible-"

"We missed that?!" Daphne shrieked across Blaise as I started laughing and turned to her and nodded, getting up as I walked away to another couch, grabbing a bottle of firewhiskey as the seat beside me was taken almost instantly

"So you're on the team?"

"Blaise, you've already- Oh"

"Wrong person" Theodore sighed as he kicked his feet up onto the table and I looked at him, trying to mask the suspicious look I had as he turned with a grin

"That were some good scores out there"

"Em... thanks, Why is it you're here?"

"You know why I am"

"Right.... I suppose. Is this you either coming over to force yourself into my friend group or telling me that we should avoid each other at all costs and that if I don't you're going to, like, batter me to the ground?"

"First answer"

"Right, so why do you want to be friends then?"

"I think you could be good"

"I beg your pardon?"

"I should've said useful. I could help you and you can help me"

"It's starting to bother me at the fact that you said you 'could' help me when you're also saying that I 'can' help you, will you offer any use at all?"

"Perhaps. At one point"

"I'll think about it"

"You will?"

"I will. But if you'll excuse me, I need to go and outdrink Blaise"
