"SEEKER? BUT FIRST YEARS NEVER MAKE THE HOUSE TEAMS"
you walk alongside harry and ron,
what's a seeker gain? eh, sounds flamboyant enough
"you must be the youngest quidditch player in a-"
"century, according to mcgonagall" harry grins.
don't be getting too cocky there
fred and george come by, walking on either side of your little group.
"hey, well done, harry. wood's just told us"
"fred and george are on the team too. beaters"
beaters? i like the sound of that
"our job is to make sure that you don't get bloodied up too bad"
you raise your eyebrows,
bloodied up? this sounds like a flamboyant game!
"can't make any promises, of course. rough game, quidditch"
"brutal. but, no ones died in years. someone will vanish occasionally"
"but they'll turn up in a month or two!"
you clench your fist excitedly, "sounds like the kind of game i'd like!"
harry goes to ask something, but ron stops him.
"don't even bother"
harry glances at you before nodding, you flick the back of ron's head.
he hisses in pain.
"don't speak like that to the goddess of flashiness you drab-guy!"
harry looked a bit nervous about quidditch now.
"oh, go on harry. quidditch is great. best game there is, and you'll be great too"
you glance back at hermione who runs up to you all.
"but i've never even played quidditch. what if i make a fool of myself?"
"you won't make a fool of yourself. it's in your blood" hermione says, you riase an eyebrow.
she leads you all inside the castle, through some hallways and towards a trophy case.
"woah. harry, you never told me your father was a seeker too"
you scan the board, what you assumed to be harry's dad's name was on the bottom of it, reading 'seeker'
"i.. didn't know"
you scan the other names on the board.
'm.g. mcgonagall'
you raise an amused eyebrow,
oh? did sensei play this game too?
❥❥❥
"I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S SPOOKY. SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT YOU THAN YOU DO"
you roll your eyes, glancing back as the staircase closes behind you.
"who doesn't?"
the three stumble as the staircase moves, you stand still, looking around.
"what's happening?" harry asks.
are you serious? the staircase is moving dimwit
"the staircases change, remember?" hermione says.
the staircase stops at an old wooden door, you narrow your eyes.
we definitely shouldn't be here... let's go in!
"let's go this way" harry says.
"before the staircase moves again" ron shudders.
you all go through the door, the inside was dark and dingy and filled with cobwebs.
"does anybody feel like.. we shouldn't be here?"
"we're not supposed to be here. this is the third floor. it's forbidden"
you look back as mrs. norris, filch's cat, steps in. the others were too frightened by the awakened flame on the post to notice her.
"let's go"
they all finally notice her, she meows.
"it's filch's cat!" hermione whisper shouts.
"run!" ron says.
they all run, you kind of jog.
thr posts light up as you all pass.
"quick, let's hide through this door!" harry says, looking up at the large door in front of you.
you shake your head a bit,
we should definitely not go in there. i can hear loud breathing. almost like a dogs?
harry attempts to pull the door open, to no luck.
"it's locked!"
"that's it. we're done for!"
"oh, move over!" hermione sasses, pushing both the boys out of the wya.
she takes out her wand, "alohomora"
the lock opens itself.
i could have just broken it
"get in"
you immediately sigh as you all enter, staring ahead of you.
now wonder the breathing was so damn loud, in front of you was a massive three-headed dog.
you almost mistook it for a demon, except it had no demonic aura.
that confused you a bit. you had been here for quite a few nights, yet you had yet to feel a single demonic aura around. maybe wizards had some kind of defence to keep them away? you couldn't be sure. but, something felt off. like you shouldn't even be in the wizarding world. it made your stomach churn, but you kept to ignoring it.
you were still in the same year, the same universe. you were just in a different country, maybe just an even more advanced one. you liked ot tell yourself that, to believe that. but deep down, you knew that it didn't feel right. that you were only lying to yourself.
but you wouldn't admit that, at least not now. because admitting that meant that you were admitting the fact you may never see tengen again, or the other hashiras. acknowledging that fact would make you depressed like giyuu. you don't want to be depressed like giyuu. he wasn't very flamboyant, and you were a flamboyant woman.
you shake your head, removing those thoughts from your midn as you had more pressing matters at hand.
the dog was waking up.
it yawned loudly, it's foul breath spreading over the room. you grimace.
the three of them scream and you all hurry out of the room, you quickly slam the door shut, taking a quick glance at a large trapdoor under one of the dogs feet.
well, that was fun!
the others didn't seem to think so.
you all rush back into the gryffindor common room.
"what do they think they're doing?! keeping a thing like that locked up in a school" ron says.
"you don't use your eyes, do you?" hermione scoffs, "didn't you see what it was standing on?"
"i wasn't looking at its feet!"
you all head up the spiralled stairs.
"i was a bit preoccupied with its heads. or maybe you didn't notice. there were three!"
"it was standing on a trap door. which means it wasn't there by accident"
you all reach the top of the stairs.
"it's guarding something"
"guarding something?" harry questions.
"that's right. now, if you three don't mind, i'm going to bed before any of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed. or worse, expelled"
hermione storms in the room, you raise your eyebrows at the two, following after.
