Chapter 3:Chaser and Seeker
"You signed up to be the Slytherin chaser!?"Neville almost yelled at his younger sister,who was calmly eating her breakfast."I wouldn't say it could kill you.But don't you think..you arw a bit too young..?"Zoe asked,rubbing her neck nervously."Young!?"Raven almost choked on her toast with jam.
"I am the same age as both of you!"
"Younger than me with a month and a couple of days."
"Younger than me with 12 minutes."
"Oh yes of course."She rolled her green eyes in annoyance,"Won't let an opportunity pass to remind me that you are older than I am with 12 minutes."
"I am just saying,"Neville sighed,as his sister glared at him",That maybe you should've waited a year or so."
"Don't tell me what I should have done."said Raven,"besides,your brother took the test to be a seeker-"
Suddenly,Zoe's cheeks looked like they were about to explode,she made a hand motion with her hand,before gulping the rest of her drink."Draco did what!?Well,I must've guessed!Wanting to go toe to toe with Potter,asking father for a new broom!That boy will cause me a heartstroke one day."
"It's not the end of the world,Zoe."Her head turned to her brother,who looked unammused."Come on Raven,Marcus Flint wants both of us."
"Looks like you've got accepted."Zoe coughed,"Just..don't fall off your broom,alright Raven?"
"Of course-"
"You on the other hand,"Zoe pointed at Draco,"I hope you fall off your broom and break your wrist."
They couldn't stop Neville from choke laughing afterwards.

"Sometimes I wonder what I did to have a sibling like Raven..No seriously,did I do something wrong?"Zoe laughed at Neville's little joke,"Hah,If I had a sibling like Raven I would throw a party every day for her."
"You have Draco-"
"Yeesh,Don't remind me."Zoe rolled her eyes,as they headed for the Quidditch pitch."He is the worse!"
"Zoe.."
"Well he isn't the worse.I've seen worse."Zoe shrugged,"I mean Draco isn't so bad."
'He might be a bully sometimes'she thought,'but he is still my brother--'
"Zoe look!"Those two words made Zoe's trail of thought pop,her eyes trailed the direction Neville was pointing at.Her eyes landed on two groups,one in red and one in green."Come on Neville!"
They skipped over to them,to find Oliver reading a slip of paper."So, Proffessure Snape gave you the pitch..because you have a new seeker and a new chaser.Where are those-"
"Hello,Potter."
"Hey Oliver,Fred,George,Harry-The rest of the team."Draco grinned at Raven,who had a cheeky smile on her face.
"Those are Nimbus-"
"-2001's!?"said the Weasley twins,their eyes glued to their rivals brooms."Draco's father bought them for the whole team."Marcus bragged,Zoe could visibly see Oliver wood grit on his teeth."Well,at least Harry entered out of skill."Hermione glared at Draco,who glared back."Stay out of this,You dirty little-"
'Please don't say it.Please don't say it.Please don't-'
"-mudblood!"
"Draco!-"
"Thats enough!Malfoy,eat slugs!"Ron pointed his wand at Draco,who just looked at him with an odd look on his face.The spell ricochet onto Ron,and instead he started to vomit slugs.The slytherin team -except Raven- started laughing uncontrollably.Hermione and Harry took Ron by the arm,and started walking away.
"Mudblood!?"Raven almost screamed,glaring daggers at Draco."You really are a panini head!"
"She started it."Draco rolled his eyes,but Raven went on."Draco,Did you even think about what you said!?"
"She is right,Draco.You should not have said that."
"Oh so now you are on Granger's side!?"He replied angrily,"No,I am not on her side.But That is a great insult to muggleborns."
"I am not apologising."
"I am not telling you to."
***
"Raven started playing the violin by the way!"Neville bragged,ruffling his sister's hair."Really?I didn't know that-"
"I knew."
"You told Draco and you didn't tell me!?"
"No.He heard me trying to play from my dorm,was about to shout at whoever was doing that noise.Found out it was me."Raven elaborated,as they waited for the stairs to adjust."I must listen to you one day."
"Eh.When I am good enough."
Zoe chuckled,as they said goodbye to Neville.
Bit by bit,they went back to their prespective dorms."So..."
"I am still not over the fact that you told Hermione 'mudblood'.."Draco rolled his eyes,"Well,she should've done her research before she assumed that father paid my way through."
"Well,The best thing to do now is to prove to them that your father didn't have anything to do with this in the next Gryffindor and Slytherin match."
