Chapter 7, Part 2
Sam walked back to the locker room with a small smile on his face. She was too perfect. He walked into the room and was greeted by a hoard of unhappy, brooding faces. He knew what they were thinking about; they were wondering if it was their fault that Ravenclaw had lost. Or if not was thinking about how the catch was taken and if the Ravens could have won. It was all a matter of thought and for the Ravenclaw captain teamwork, speed and practice.
It was going to be a long hard week, but not as hard for him as today would be for Ari. She had detention today with Flitch which meant she would be cleaning something. Earlier in the week the caretaker had told her to be in the dungeons at eight, he just hoped she wouldn’t forget.
Sam changed in silence as did the rest of the team and when he walked out of the changing room her felt slightly downhearted. Misery was infectious. He stopped by the lake on his way to the castle and sat down, then he stood up, he squatted picked up a flat rock and skipped it across the lakes surface.
He liked to do that a lot; the giant squid didn’t seem to mind much so he skipped another. Sam sat down. He knew he had to tell her soon but he couldn’t find how, or when, even why and he was sure if he didn’t step up soon, she would be gone. He just needed a little push in the right direction and it was proving hard to find. |
