"You look so happy"
"Thank you for noticing" I said to Daphne laughing as I walked between her and Pansy as I held my bag over my shoulder while we walked into the great hall, a week or so having already passed as I glanced around, seeing Oscar at the Hufflepuff table as he waved and I offered a small one back with a smile
"Your brother?"
"Yeah, he seems to be fitting in well"
"So, what do you think of having your mother here?"
"You've already asked me this. But I don't really know- I don't know what to think of it" I told them honestly as I let out a laugh and walked with a smile on my face
"Please tell me you two don't like Lockhart though- I mean, he looks like he can't tell the difference between his arse and his elbow-"
"Amelia!" Turning around I looked up and down the table before I spotted Flint, turned towards me as I walked over to him with a smile, Pansy and Daphne behind me
"Alright you lot?" I asked as I looked at him, Adrian and Miles who sat together as the two smirked at me while Flint handed me a rolled up piece of parchment and I looked between him and it confused after opening it
"Tryouts? You're not going to make me tryout, are you?"
"No of course I'm not- we're not holding tryouts this year"
"What do you mean? We haven't got a seeker" I said confused before taking the space on the bench beside him as I glanced between the three before looking back down at the paper
"We do now"
"What? How? Who?" I asked quickly as I looked between them all as they all sat with grins on their faces before I started clicking my fingers
"Hello? Please don't ignore me, I'm on the team too"
"We know you are, we just thought we'd keep it a surprise. Let you meet him when we have our first practice, although I think you know him already"
"Him? Are you telling me that I'm still the only girl on this team?"
"No, you have Miles"
"Fuck off Adrian" he grumbled as I let out a light laugh and smiled at him
"It's fine Miles, he's just jealous that it'll be us painting each other's nails later in your dorm, it's his way of telling us that he doesn't want to be left out-"
"Oh for fucks sake-"
"I'm joking Miles you know I love you- so am I not going to get told?" I reassured him laughing as he shook his head amused while I turned back to Flint
"Not until Tuesday night, seven o'clock"
"Now I have to wait? That's just mean- wait... that's tomorrow, never mind" I said to them laughing as I stood up and put the parchment in my pocket before turning around and walking a bit farther down the table with Pansy and Daphne as we sat opposite Blaise as he handed me my Charms book he had borrowed as I put it back in my bag with a smile
"What was that all about?"
"Quidditch- Blaise, why are you down here so early? You're usually still asleep"
"I decided to wake up early-"
"Shit, wait. You done that willingly?" I asked wide eyed as he stared at me, trying not to smirk as he shook his head
"I knew it-"
"No! That's not what I meant!" He said laughing as I nodded with a smile
"I know I just thought I'd be a pain" I grinned as I ladled porridge into my bowl, hundreds of owls flying in as I looked up, finding Chiara flying towards me with a box twice her size clutched tightly in her grip as she landed in front of me, looking completely exhausted as we all stared at the box confused while I started to give her a piece of toast and something landed in my bowl as I looked down confused, a small horrified shriek getting the better of me as I stared at the dead mouse sitting in my porridge as Chiara started hooting, a slightly happy look to her as I pushed my bowl away and she hopped after it. Fishing the mouse out I watched horrified as she swallowed it in one
"That is so unbelievably disgusting"
"What is it?"
"She dropped a dead mouse into my porridge" I whined as they started laughing and I pushed my bowl farther away as Chiara turned to me, a smile growing on my face as I looked at her, eventually letting out a laugh when I seen her cock her head at me as I brushed her feathers down, opening the box with a hand as I peered inside as the others did too, all of us looking at the books and pieces of work that were sent to me making me smile slightly
"What's all that?"
"Extra work-"
"Extra?!"
"Yes, extra. It's all muggle stuff"
"You confuse the living shit out of me"
"Good"
