Heyo guys! hiya2810 here!!!! You know the intro, so on with the story!!!
******************************

I was so excited!!!!! It was the day of the Quidditch tryouts for Slytherin and I wanted to be seeker!!!! I got only to find Lyssa and Naddie next to me. "Nadia! Alyssa! What in the name of Merlin's most baggy Y fronts are you doing here??!!" I whisper yelled. "Can't a girl come to cheer on her best friend?" Lyssa replied, rolling her brown eyes.

"She can, but-" "No buts, Zo! We're getting you ready. Go win it!" Naddie smiled. "Okay, really appreciate it b-" They looked at me sternly, cutting me off. I sighed. "Fine." We spent the next hour getting ready. I polished my Firebolt 2000, while Lyssa made my ponytail and Naddie cheered me up. "You'll do great!!!!! Cheer up Zo!" "Yeah, a Zo with a grumpy face doesn't look good." Lyssa teased. I shot her a glare and smiled at Naddie. "Thanks a ton Naddie!!!"

Lyssa pouted and turned away. I laughed at her ridiculous antic and pouted too. We all burst out laughing. "Some of us are trying to sleep you know!" A Slytherin girl growled at me. "Well, some of us are trying to help our friends! Ever heard of it? Oh sorry, you don't have any with that attitude." Naddie retorted. We grinned and the girl could do nothing but glare.

As we walked down to the pitch for my tryouts, Everton ran up to me. "Oh Zoey! Thank god I found you!!! Let's go together, come on!" She tugged on my arm. "Sorry, but she's going with us." Lyssa said coldly. "And how can you be sure of that?" Everton sneered. "Cause I decided so." I replied heatedly and wrenched my arm from her grip. She gasped. "But.... But..." "But what?" Naddie smirked.

Everton stormed off. "Nice." I said, nudging Naddie. She blushed. "Yeah, good one, Nad!" Lyssa agreed. Suddenly we heard a whistle blow. Veronica Everton, or just Verry, shouted, "THE SEEKERS, HERE NOW!" Lyssa and Naddie gave me a huge hug and then whispered, "We're rooting for you!"

I ran to take my place. "So... Zoey Carandis." Veronica said. "Yes." I breathed. "Okay, let's begin!" She called out and there was a huge cheer. I was last, apparently. I watched as people caught the snitch in 10, 15, 20 minutes, and felt nervous. Then I heard, "Carandis, Zoey!" I walked in and shot off.

' The Snitch, the Snitch! ' I urged myself, search for the tiny golden ball. Suddenly I saw a flash of gold. There it was. I dove down, speeding towards the ground, and dodging the bludgers being pelted at me. Just at the last second, I grabbed it and pulled my broomstick up, sliding it gently on the ground. I heard gasps as I let the snitch go again.

"And.... That was a school record!! 5 minutes flat!" Veronica announced. A rush of pleasure and pride went through me. Lyssa and Naddie were screaming so loud, it could be heard across the field! I screamed myself in elation. "WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!" As I got off the pitch, my friends tackled me in a huge hug.

"ZO YOU DID IT!!!!" They shouted. "Hey..." Naddie said quietly. "I wanna try out for Seeker too. Will I be able to beat your record?" "Of course! You'll ace it, I promise!" I winked at her. (AN: Raf, our speed is the same. But what about your broom?) "Carandis!" Said a voice behind me. I whirled around. "Nice play out there." A boy smirked at me.

He had dark hair and blue eyes. "The name's Zoey. Not Carandis, last I checked." I replied coolly. "Mmhm. Not even a thank you? You Slytherins sure are rude!" The boy said. "Hey! I'm a Slytherin! And you can't say that!" I snapped. Naddie and Lyssa watched us like a tennis match- back and forth.

"It's a free world." He replied. "I'm Alex, by the way." He held out his hand, but I didn't take it. "No thanks." "Oh Carandis, come on!" Alex said pleadingly. I shook my head, and walked off with my friends. "I know that boy!" Lyssa gasped. "Alex Frendel, half blood, Gryffindor!" Me and Naddie stared at her. "Is he always this-" "-Cute?" Naddie interrupted me, smirking. I rolled my eyes. "God, no." "Oh come on! You totally liked him!" Lyssa teased. "Ha! In your fangirl dreams, gals." I said and we walked to the castle, arguing as usual.
