From that day on me and Draco bonded more, but i still was close to the others, he and I just knew things that the others didn't. When tryouts came for quidditch i was beyond excited except for the stupid captain being flint because he was truly and ass. Although he worked us hard it turned out i was one of three who actually went for the chaser position and surprisingly i got it. I hadn't practiced too too much over break, but enough to be good for the team i suppose. And since i was now on the team harry and i were especially more rivals not just because of me bing Slytherin, but now on the quidditch team. They or we were rivals for longer than anyone can remember so it was natural that when i did make the team he wasn't too happy.

Although as my father's words filled my head i talked to him enough but not as much as i had last year. But it's not like we now hated one another, but we just drifted slightly especially because i made the team and punched Ron in the face a few weeks back. And the weeks of practice leading up to our first match was rough, tiring at best so me and my friends were cranky for sure. But when the first match came it was against Huffelpuff so it wasn't all that bad, and Cedric diggory was the teams seeker. Draco having bought his way onto the team with new brooms, he was seeker not that he wasn't good at his position, but his dad bought him his spot. And there was plenty of people who weren't all too happy aside from the Slytherin team members who got new brooms.

Even if he did buy his way onto the team, he was a decent seeker and that proved when he beat Cedric to the snitch. It was fun, but also very intense to say the least, but i secretly helped Draco find the snitch with my abilities. I enhanced his speed with my magic, while avoiding bulgers and trying to score all at the same time, but I managed. And thanks to the praise and the win we got to celebrate after the match concluded and we won by 340 to 150 points. Which was a good game and very entertaining at best even from my spot which was on the pitch at the time. But Theo, blaze, Lorenzo, then me and Draco were all on the team, but i had a feeling things were going to change soon. And not just with me, not just my friends, but family and Hogwarts as well and that was a deeper and scarier feeling to have.

I wanted nothing more than to letter mom, tell her about the win and making the team when i did, but i decided against it. I wasn't going to give them details of my happier life here at Hogwarts because of what they did to me over break. But i knew that things weren't going to get better with father just by the letter i got when i arrived after the game.

Dearest daughter,
You may have made the quidditch team, may have won your first match today, but don't think this changes anything at home. You're still pathetic and you're not keeping up well enough with your classes. and if you don't come back home with passing or all A's being the top of your class then your to quit the team. I don't care how unfair it might be, but you have a family reputation to uphold and if you damage that, your more than dead dearest daughter of mine. You are also not allowed to talk about home stuff while your in school or so help me the world will end for you. No one can help you, no one will ever want to help someone like you anyway, no one will ever love such a useless and unworthy person like you. So give it up and do as told or so help me your mother won't care what i do to you anymore and that's a promise.

Your father

I didn't do anything but put the letter in a box where i then hid it under the floorboard where i made a makeshift hiding area earlier.
