I wake up later than everyone else and get dressed. Today is the long awaited Saturday and the Hufflepuff quittage team tryouts. I put on my uniform and walked out to meet Potter outside the common room. We've actually become pretty good friends. "Good morning, Bri," Potter waves. "Morning, Potter," I wave back. We walk to the Great Hall and sit at our secluded end of the table. "One downside of being with a house full of Hufflepuffs, they hold a grudge," Potter sighs as we pile food onto our plates. "No kidding, I thought it would blow over by now," I nod. "Are you going to watch the tryouts with me?" "Of course! Why do you think I'm not in bed right now?" He laughs. "Cool, I have to find Brook real quick," I smile. "I will see you in a couple minutes." I walk over to the Slytherin table and Brook's group of friends glance at me and move away from her once the realize where I'm going. "Hey," I wave. "Hey," she replies half heartedly. "Look," I say. "I know we're in separate houses but we're still friends." "No, we're not. You're a failed Death Eater and a Hufflepuff and I'm an actual Death Eater and a Slytherin. What kind of Lesterange gets in Hufflepuff?" Her words cut through me like a knife, like fire burning me from inside. I stiffen, "I am sorry you feel that way." I fight tears as I walk back to Potter. "You saw the whole thing didn't you," I say when I sit down. "Yup," he nods. "You heard?" "Yup." We finish eating in silence and stand. "Ready to watch some fools try to play quittage?" I grin. "Yes!" He laughs and we head to the quittage pitch. We climb the stands and have a seat. "Is anyone announcing?" I ask. "I don't think so," Alex replies. "I think the announcer graduated the year before." I might have to talk to Madam Hooch about that later. The captain, Alisha Winchester, calls out to the students. "We will begin with a scrimmage," she assigns people to different positions and begins the scrimmage. A beater, a tall blond, keeps dodging the bludgers instead of hitting them. We watch the tryouts and Alisha says, "The team members will be posted outside the common room tomorrow. Thank you." I track down Madam Hooch, "Madam Hooch?" I ask. "Yes?" "I was wondering, do you have anyone in the announcer position yet?" "Not yet. Would you like that position?" She asks. "Yes, Yes I would!" I grin. "Your name, dear?" "Bri Lestrange." She gives me a brief strange look before turning to a notebook and scribbling something down. "Alright, I expect you to be at every game just as the players," she says and leaves me and Alex. "I honestly didn't think she'd let me," I laugh. Alex rolls his eyes. "Come on, we need to get to the library." We head back inside and almost got lost trying to find the library. When we finally get there I pull a couple books off the shelf. "Read this," I say after a while. " 'The shape shifter can be a verity of species including, a dragon, a griffin, a wolf, or a witch or wizard.' What does that have to do with anything?" He asks. "You absolute idiot," I sigh. "Of Silvia got attacked by a basilisk and there was a black mamba was in our common room, who is native only to the African savanna, that turned into myself, it has to be a shape shifter." "Or it could be...yea no it's a shape shifter," he agrees. "But how would we catch it?" I ask. "No idea. I think the library is about to close." "What? Why?" I knit my eyebrows. "Because Madam Pince is giving me a stare down," he explains. I laugh. "Alright, let's go." We grab the book and go to check it out then leave for the common room. I wave good night to Alex with the book clutched under my arm before heading up to my dorm to read it.
