Chapter 13: Ayumi's idea of fun
"Man! No mail!" Mel said slightly mad when the owls came that
morning, but her expression was erased and replaced by shock when she saw a big
package carried by Hedwig.
"Whoa!" Chris exclaimed.
My eyes widened went the package flew in people started standing up to see who
received the package, but when it landed in front of me I was even more
shocked. Before I could open it a letter arrived. I shrugged and opened it
first and it read:
Please open this package in the
common room this is your new broom, because I do not want students complaining.
Professor McGonagall
Harry got up and began to
leave when he felt a light tap on his shoulder he looked up to see Professor
McGonagall smiling.
"Enjoy." was all she said and left.
When I finally arrived to the Common room I opened my package in a rush.
"What the?" Ayumi gasped.
"It's the…" Chris breathed.
"Thunderbolt 2000! I can't believe it!" Ron, Mel, Chris, and Ayumi
said together,
"You're so lucky you get everything!" Ron whined.
"Hey I didn't ask for it." Harry protested.
"Yeah I know." Ron pouted,
"I'm bored, I have to read a book." Mel said.
"Well that's a change." Hermione said and Mel rolled her eyes.
"Man Harry your lucky!" Chris said slapping Harry on the back.
"Um, thanks" Harry said pushing his glasses up his nose.
I can't believe I'm playing in Quidditch now!! I thought with a smile
while we were walking out to the Quidditch field. Wood (*squeals* he's so HOT
in the movies! *sighs*) was carrying a big create and put down on the ground
"Okay I'm going to show you some Quidditch balls and I'll tell you what
they mean and who plays them. First there's the keeper that's me and I stay up
there and protect it from the other team from scoring." He said pointing
to a stick with a hole on top. "This is a Quaffle, and the three chasers
chase it around and pass it to score points in there." He gestured back to
the hoop with the Quaffle that was red and was about the size of a soccer ball.
"And this is a Bludger, be careful, these things pack a punch." He
pointed to two identical black balls, jet black and slightly smaller than the
Quaffle. Harry noticed that the balls seemed to be straining against the
straps. He handed Harry a club that was a bit short like a base ball bat. "Stand
back." Wood warned Harry, and he bent down and freed one of the Bludgers. At
once the ball rose zooming through the air and then headed straight for Harry's
face. Harry swung at it to stop it from hitting his face, and it headed
straight for Wood. He jumped on the ball and pinned it on the ground.
"See," Wood panted, forcing the struggling Bludger back into the
crate. "The Bludgers zoom around trying to knock players off their brooms,
and that's why we have two beaters to protect us and try to knock them toward
the other players. The Weasley twins are ours. Do forget the Golden Snitch, one
of the most important balls in the game. It's the seeker's job to get the
Snitch before the other team seeker does earning the team a hundred and fifty
points, and wining the game," Wood said while holding up the golden Snitch
"Okay Harry next week Madam Hooch will teach some more rules and tactics."
Wood said smiling and left.
"So how was practice?" Chris asked.
"Okay, I guess well I'm going to take a shower" Harry said and
disappeared into the one of fifteen showers.
"Well I'm going to bed." Ron said.
"Night Ron." Chris and Ayumi said Mel was to busy on the computer and
Hermione reading a textbook.
"You know what I'm going to take a shower." Chris said and left.
"I am going to bed. Night guys." Ayumi said but was met with silence.
Soon Hermione left leaving Mel alone.
Harry tossed and turned turning to sleep but failed
"This is hopeless." he whispered as he put on his robe and went to
the common room. To his surprise Mel was there her eyes glued on to the
computer it looked like she was reading a story. "Hey Mel what are you
reading?" he asked.
"Oh a Sailor Moon fan fic." (AN : Need I say more? I couldn't help mu
self GOD!)
"Mel do you know what time it is?" Harry asked.
"
"Um no it's
"?!" was written across her face.
"I tried telling her that hours ago." Ayumi
said popping up from behind the chair.
"What you doing here?" he asked.
"
"No." Harry said sitting next to her.
"So what are you doing up?" she asked.
"I couldn't sleep." Harry answered.
"Well I had to finish studying." Hermione said at the table.
"Oh." was all he said.
"Hey what with the racket?" a sleepy Ron asked while rubbing his eyes.
"Is it morning already?" a confused Chris asked standing behind Ron.
"Um no it looks like a party" Neville said slightly confused.
"Oh yeah it's a party and were all celebrating see the cake." Mel
said sarcastically pointing to mid air.
"Hey I'm bored let's go for a walk!" Ayumi said slightly hyper. Mel
rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah let's go the third floor corridor"
Mel said.
"Hey that's a good idea!" Ayumi said.
"You know I think she was being sarcastic." Harry said.
"I know but it would be fun." and with that she dragged Harry out the
door and the rest followed confused. (What's new?)
