Storms Ahead

|Chapter Seventy : Conversations|

Leaving the common room awhile later I walked down the corridor as I spotted mum walking in my direction, magpie robes covered and caked in mud as she smiled at me

"Tough practice?"

"Or just everyone was being arseholes, either works" she laughed as a small smile grew on my face and she motioned for me to follow as I walked with her up flights of stairs until we eventually got to a tower, her holding the door open as I walked in behind her as she shut the door and a small smile grew on my face

"Looks like home"

"It does doesn't it?" She asked with a laugh as I glanced about, watching from the corner of my eye as she flicked her wand and the mud cleared from her robes and face

"You can come anytime you know" she told me as I nodded and continued to look around

"The team's coming to Hogwarts on Thursday if you want to see them"

"Are they coming to practice?"

"Yeah, Oliver has also asked for a couple of tips, I can get them to help the Slytherin team too if you want?"

"No" I told her hastily as she turned to me and I watched as she raised an eyebrow at me curiously before letting a smirk grow on her face

"Too good for us, huh?"

"No- it's... Draco's on the team" I mumbled quietly as I rubbed my head and she stared at me

"And how the hell did that happen?" She asked ludicrously as I shrugged and sank down onto the couch and rubbed my sore eyes

"You might want to put your glasses on" nodding unhappily I pulled them from my pocket and put them on, my eyes instantly feeling better as she stood in front of me

"I'm curious now, care to spill?"

"He's been a total fucking bastard!"

"Watch the language missy" she told me while sitting down next to me, a small smile on her face as I looked at her with a scoff

"That's hypocritical"

"You need to stop pointing these things out. Anyway, what did he do to get on the team?"

"He bought his way onto the team by getting his father to get every member of the team a Nimbus 2001-"

"Did he really?"

"Yeah-"

"Did you take one?"

"Of course not! I have my morals in the right place thank you very much. It's just so unfair, everybody worked so hard to get onto that team. He thinks he's better than everybody fucking else just because he's a fucking pureblood! He's a snobby cow and I despise him!" I said to her loudly as I stopped myself from going into a rant as an arm wrapped around my shoulders and I was pulled towards her

"You know, I had to go through my school years with his father and he was just the same, well worse actually. But trust me, he'll push through it, he'll change. His father didn't but he might, if you really aren't wanting to tolerate him that's your choice, and his for being a total dick" she told me as I let out a laugh, and turned to her, looking at the smile she had on her face

"Thank you"

"It's alright, wanna get some food from the kitchens?" She asked quietly as a hopeful smile grew on my face and I looked at her

"Ice cream?"

"Ice cream it is" she laughed before standing up with her hands outstretched as I took ahold of them and was pulled to my feet as we left her quarters, quickly going through the halls as we tried to avoid teachers
