"Juliet, do you have any clue what a horrible idea this is?" Theo's lecture had gone on for multiple minute now, following Juliet through Hogwarts and toward the Quidditch field.

"From all the fifty times you've said it I think I have a pretty good idea." Juliet replied back with a eye roll, fixing her gloves as Cedrics old broom was tucked under her arm. Amos gave it to her this summer when she took a visit, reminding her how the pair rode on it for the first time and fell into the lake.

"I'm with Theo, Quidditch isn't even fun, it's disgusting and sweaty." Pansy added in as she walked close behind Juliet, hoping to also talk some sense into her but saw she was failing, "Blaise, are you gonna let her do this?"

"What is the deal with everyone thinking they can tell me what to do all of a sudden?" Juliet asked with a sarcastic laugh, tugging on the Quidditch jersey slightly.

"She'll get a taste of it out there, come crying back to us." Draco mocked as Juliet rolled her eyes at his words, "Slytherin doesn't have any girls on our team for that exact reason, too emotional."

"Shut up Malfoy, no one asked for your opinion." Juliet snapped at him as he came up by her side with a knowing expression, "That's probably exactly why Slytherin doesn't win."

"Ohh, burn." Blaise laughed at his cousins words, getting a glare from Draco as he cleared his throat, "She's gonna do great."

"She's gonna kill herself." Pansy corrected him as the doors swung open, the Quidditch field in view now as Juliet inhaled the morning scent with a grin.

"Well, if I kill myself at least i'll know I left quite a impression on you lot." Juliet mocked as her long legs took her over toward the field, seeing the team all lined up, Summerby standing before everyone. Juliet scanned the dull bleachers, seeing a few people she hadn't recognized chatting with their friends.

Hermione gave her a worried smile as Ron bounced his leg anxiously next to her, Harry talking him down. Ginny and Neville weren't too far behind them, keeping their eyes on Juliet as well. Luna sat alone with a pair of odd glasses and hand made earring, waving to Juliet as the girl returned it.

"Most of you were here last year, only this year you'll be forced to try out again." Summerby spoke with a clear of his throat as he looked to each of the possibly team members, his eyes flicked to Juliets, "Only we have a few newbies, I take it you know what you're getting yourself into."

Juliet could hear the faint whispering of a few behind her, glancing and seeing them eyeing Cedrics broom under her arm. Juliet held it closer to her in a protective manor as she shivered under the cold weather, basically waiting for the snow to start falling any second now.

"Well, lets see what all of you got." Summerby spoke as he began listing off positions, stopping before the Knightky girl with a knowing smirk, "Knightly, think you can handle Chaser?"

Juliet assumed Harry put in a good word about her strong arm, nodding her head and holding her head up high, "Easy."

Summerby scoffed at her arrogants, throwing the Quaffle into a boy next to hers hands before listing on again. Juliet caught Ron's eye now, seeing the twins had joined him and tried freaking him out in both his ears. The girl gave him a knowing smile as she jogged off toward her position, throwing a leg over her broom as a snow flake hit her nose.

"Bloody hell, i'm going to get her out of there." Ron spoke quickly as he rose to his feet, being pulling back down by George and Harry.

"She'll do great, she's brilliant." Harry reassured him with a proud grin out toward the girl who began flying into the air on the familiar broom. Harry felt comfort seeing the broom flying in the air again, a feeling he hadn't realized he missed.

"She talked my ear off all this morning about it, she knows what she doing, Ron." Hermione added in as she looked to him with a annoyed expression, "You can't tell her what to do."

"Yeah, try telling him that again." Ginny scoffed as Ron rolled his eyes.

"You ready, Juliet?" Ernie called out as he looked to her knowingly, circling her with his broom.

"Yeah!" Juliet called out as she shivered slightly as the snow began to slowly fall, "Good luck!"

The boy gave her a grin as he flew off, Summerbys whistle going off as Hannah Abott took off after the fake snitch, a few people flying after her. Juliets eyes flickered toward Rickett across the field, taking a deep breath before she began to fly forward.

"I can't watch." Ron said as he put his hands over his eyes, "If she dies, I'm gonna kill her."

Juliet twisted the broom to the side as the quaffle came flying her way, Ricketts arm strong as well as it flew fast across the field. Juliet flew under Macavoy, hurrying and catching the quaffle in her arms easily.

"Yeah!" Pansy yelled out as she clapped from the stands.

"Yeah!" The twins cheered loudly for her, "Thats a good girl!"

Luna joined Neville and Ginny as the trio clapped.

"Is she dead?" Ron asked from where he hid under his eyes.

"She's very much alive." Hermione laughed as she clapped with a grin. Ron removed his hands as his face was flushed in worry, watching his girlfriend fly across the field, dodging everyone who was flying her way in hopes of stealing the quaffle.

"Bloody hell." he spoke impressed as he watched her turn and duck under multiple quidditch players, "She's good."

"Did you expect anything differently?" Neville asked as he watched with amazed eyes.

"Come on, Knightly!" Draco hollered out for her without realizing it, standing up as his friends stared in shock. When the Malfoy boy noticed what he did he rolled his eyes and sat back down, "Only because I know she'll fail."

"Totally failing." Blaise said sarcastically as he laughed, watching Juliet dodge one final person before she threw the quaffle hard toward the middle hoop. It flew at a quick, forceful speed. She chunked it hard, letting out a ugh as she did so. The stands held their breath as they watch it fly, exhaling quickly.

The quaffle flew through the hoop.

"Yeah!" Ron yelled as he stood up quickly and cheered loudly, "Thats my girlfriend!"

The stands cheered for her loudly as Juliet circled on Cedrics broom, looking out as she pumped both her fist in the air with a bright grin. Flying down toward Summerby, his eyes already on her with a eyebrow raise.

"Well," Juliet began as she got off the broom, "What did you think?"

Summerby was silent for a second as he eyed Juliet, looking at her broom and toward the hoop she got the quaffle through just a few seconds ago, "See you at the first practice tomorrow, don't be late."

Juliet smiled widely as she ran toward the bleachers with a red face, "I got it! I passed!"

Ron caught her in his arms, picking her up and spinning her around with a grin, "I'm so proud of you. That was brilliant! When you flew under Fleet, he wasn't even expecting it!"

"And I didn't die!" Juliet added in with a grin, kissing him of the forehead as she whipped the sweat from her own forehead.

"And you didn't die." Ron added in just as excited as her while Hermione and Harry joined them quickly.

"Harry, I take it you put in a good word." Juliet asked as he gave her a side hug, brushing down a piece of her dark hair.

"Only that you had good arms." Harry said with a grin as he backed up for Hermione to hug Juliet forcefully.

"Reckon Gryffindor might have to step up their game now." Hermione said as she looked to Harry and the twins knowingly.

"Dunno, think we could beat her." Fred spoke with a half grin, "What do you think, George?"

"Not sure Freddie, she looked pretty good out there." George said knowingly, giving Juliet a wink.

"Easy." Ron warned as he put a arm around Juliet with a grin, "I never doubted you."

"Totally." Ginny mocked with a eye roll his way, "I knew you could do it, Juliet."

"Yeah, me too." Neville added in with a grin, standing to the side as Luna walked forward. Ron frowned his eyebrows as the odd, small Ravenclaw, watching as she pulled something from her pocket and dangled it before her face.

"It's a Nargle necklace, yellow for Hufflepuff." Luna said with a flushed smiled, holding the unique necklace up. Hermione eyed it with a faint smile, thinking it would look lovely on Juliet.

"I'll wear it every game." Juliet said as she took it from her hand with a grin, "Thank you, Luna."

The group began talking to each other again, praising Juliet for her acts on the field. The Knightly girl looked toward where her group of Slytherins were moments before, frowning as she saw each of them gone. With a sigh she looked back to her group again with a smile, wrapping herself around Ron with a grin as he kissed her forehead once more.
