Storms Ahead

|Chapter fifty : Honest Answers|

"We think Flint will be captain again next year. And then the year after that" Miles told me amused as I flicked through my book still before turning to him

"Well that's a good thing. He's a great captain"

"I'm not disagreeing with you. It's just, think, when he leaves there is going to have to be someone else take his place. I already think it will be Adrian"

"What if it's you?"

"It won't be me"

"I think it might be. What if it's a woman then?" I asked as he started laughing while I shut my book and stared at him while he shook his head amused

"What?"

"Amelia, there has never ever been a female Slytherin quidditch captain. Ever-"

"What?! Why?!"

"Well, the past students in this house have been very stereotypical and quite prejudiced and girls were never made captain, it was even rare to see a girl on the Slytherin team-"

"Well I'm going to change that-"

"You already have"

"I mean I'm going to be the first ever female Slytherin quidditch captain" I told him as he looked at me with a grin, shaking his head slightly while I stood up

"Good luck- what was that for?!" He asked loudly after I had walked around the back of the couch and smacked the backside of his head as he clamped his hand over the spot and turned to stare at me

"For doubting that I'll become captain" I told him before going down onto the dorm, slipping in as I listened to Pansy and Daphne in the bathroom

"So, what do you do when you see someone beautiful?"

"I stare, I smile... then I put the mirror back"

"Oh my fucking god"

"What? I'm giving an honest answer"

"I know you are"

"Well I must admit, that's one of the best honest answers I've ever heard" I laughed as they appeared around the doorway, Pansy looking at me with a grin

"Oh! Your sister is looking for you-"

"Ew! Not her!" I shouted with a look of disgust as she started laughing, Daphne standing with a smile

"Yes, her"

"How do you know?"

"She told Diggory she was looking for you and then he told me"

"Cedric couldn't just tell me himself?"

"I explained to him that you refused to put down your book" she told me as I started laughing, chucking my book into my trunk as Daphne cut across Pansy with a smile

"I like your sister-"

Yes, well, splish splash your opinion is trash" I told her with raised eyebrows as a smile broke out on my face and I started laughing as she shook her head amused

"If you hate her so much, Lia, just get someone to break her heart-"

"Don't break someone's heart! They only have one!"

"Yeah, break their bones, they have 206 of those" I scoffed as I dropped down onto my bed, unbuttoning my cloak with a smile as I heard a small laugh come from the bathroom

"Hey Lia? Who's been writing to you so often?"

"Just Nathan, Adam and Ali. Majority of the time it's Nathan"

"Why so often?"

"They like to keep in touch. Whenever Nathan writes he could be drunk, he sent a letter this morning, I have to show you it" I explained laughing as I reached into my desk drawer and pulled out the letter I got this morning before chucking it to them

"If you are reading this you have survived your entire life up until this point. You have survived traumas, heartbreak, devastation, the different phases of life and here you are. You go, motherfucker you are awesome"

"Emm..."

"Yeah. He was drunk when he wrote that" I told the two laughing as Pansy looked up with a grin, Daphne shaking her head amused

"I just want to say I don't think it's exactly comforting that he put 'you have survived your entire life up until this point'. What does that mean? You're not going to live to see another day?-"

"Fucking hell Pansy I wasn't paying attention to that but thanks for getting me worked up now!" I told her laughing as they joined in and she shrugged her shoulders slightly as she sent me a grin

"No problem, you know I love you"

"If I make it to tomorrow I'll agree to that statement"

"Wow. Thanks"
