Quidditch
"How did he even know that I have muggle parents?" Selena asked suddenly. The trio shared bewildered looks none of them knew how he could of found out. That night Selena found herself wondering more then ever if she fit in at Slytherin and once again whether her eyes were normal in the wizarding world.
By eleven o'clock it seemed the whole school was in the Quidditch stands. Selena sat with her fellow Slytherins. The Quidditch players marched out their brooms in hand. Madame Hooch was refereeing, she stood in the middle of the field. She gave a loud blast on her whistle commencing the game, the players rose high into the air. A Gryffindor boy, Lee Jordan, was commentating the game with some bias. Selena could barely follow what was happening, the players zoomed past in all directions. She only remembered a few details of what Leesa had explained and what she remembered was mostly about the seekers.
"Two Weasleys and Chaser Bell and speeds towards the - wait a moment - was that the snitch?" Lee Jordans voice carried through the stands, everyone straining to see the golden snitch. Harry must have spotted it as he dived downwards, the Slytherin seeker had seen it too. The two were neck and neck but Harry was faster - WHAM - Marcus Flint had blocked Harry on purpose sending Harry's broom spinning off course.
"Foul!" Gryffindors screamed and the game halted while Madame Hooch spoke angrily to Flint. The game continued but the snitch was lost in the chaos. In a few moments the Slytherins scored resulting in a chorus of cheers.
"Hey look Harry's broom's gone wild!" Leesa pulled Selenas attention to Harry hanging off his broom. The broom was vibrating as if it was trying make him lose his grip. The Weasley twins were trying to get him onto their brooms but every time they got to close Harrys broom rose higher. They drooped lower and circled below ready to catch him if he fell. Everyone was standing a nervous calm had settled over the crowd. As suddenly as it started the broom stopped moving wildly and Harry was able to climb back up. He dived down towards the ground, and his hands clamped over his mouth, it seemed like he was going to be sick. He hit the ground on all fours, coughed, and something gold fell out of his mouth into his hands.
"I've got the Snitch!" he shouted, although it ended the game in confusion, the Gryffindors cheered they had won by one hundred and seventy points to sixty. The stands emptied as the Quidditch players left the pitch.
"He's good but I don't see what the big fuss is about." Leesa said as they crossed the grounds, Harry had been swarmed by a rather large crowd. Leesa picked up her pace as they passed the crowed, Selena had to run to catch up.
"Lee wait for-" Selena called after her friend before running into someone and falling backwards. She looked up from where she was now sitting to see the Weasley twins. "Sorry." Selena groaned as her bruises flared up in pain from from the impact.
"Hey, you're Selena right?" Fred asked while giving her a hand up. Selena nodded quickly as Leesa rushed back to see what happened.
"Good to see you're better now." George added confusing Selena.
"What do you mean?" Selena asked curious, how would they have known about her recent run in with a troll. The twins shared a look before continuing.
"No one told you then." They said in unison.
"That we were the ones that found you and brought you to Madame Pomfrey." Fred finished
"Oh, thanks then...wait why were two Gryfindors down in the dungeon looking in broom closets." Selena asked slightly suspicious since the Gryfindor common room was no where near the dungeons.
"We can only tell if you promise to keep it a secret." They said in unison both smirking, before waiting for a reply Fred leaned in.
"We were going to pull a prank on Snape." He whispered before waiting for her reaction.
"Wait are you the ones behind the singing text books?" Selena asked impressed, for the past few weeks multiple text books had been opened and started singing during potions class. The twins smiled at the same time, answering her question.
"We should head back to the the team, see you later Selena." George said before the walked back to their celebrating team.
"I can't believe you missed it, you have to come to the next game." Leesa had been raving about the last few Quidditch games all morning to Logan. He had refused to go anywhere near the stands no matter how hard they had tried to persuade him. As they finished breakfast post arrived, normally Selena didn't receive anything so when a white owl swooped down and dropped a letter in front of her she was surprised to say the least. She pulled open the envelope to find a letter addressed to her.
"Would you look at that Selena got a letter and here I was thinking your parents had forgotten about you." Malfoy sneered across the table. Ever since Selena had told him to shut up she had became his new favourite target when Harry wasn't around. She rolled her eyes at him before reading the letter.
Dear Selena,
Unfortunately your mother and I will be away for Christmas due to work. Your going to have to stay at Hogwarts for the break, we're sorry we won't get to see you but you know how work is. Thanks for understanding sweetie.
Love, Dad
Selena reread the short note to make sure she hadn't missed anything.
"What are you guys doing for the break?" Selena asked Logan & Leesa hoping that one of them would be staying too.
"I'm going back to my home town to see my Grandmother." Logan replied first sounding excited about the fact.
"I'm going home too, my whole family comes over for a reunion." Leesa explained while grabbing more bacon. Leesa had two brothers, two sisters, a niece and a nephew. She was the youngest sibling by nine years so her niece and nephew were only a few years younger. Selena realized she had never meet any of her family other then her parents. She had never thought about it much since they didn't mention any other relatives.
"So where's your home town?" Leesa asked Logan recalling what he had said earlier.
"It's in Ontario." He replied, upon seeing Leesa and Selenas blank faces he continued "Its in Canada, I didn't move to London until I was seven or eight."
"Seriously! That's so cool I knew your accent was different but I didn't think you were from Canada." Leesa exclaimed, she drilled him with questions about the foreign land throughout the rest of the day. During potions Snape took a list of which Slytherins would be staying for the break. A few 6th years and Selena were the only one staying for the break.
