Drop in the Ocean

As the scarlet engine glided through the greeneries, Ethan opened a discussion on Quidditch.

"So I guess you've received my owl on you two being reserves."

"Yes Ethan, thank you very much." Both girls said together and laughed.

"Jinx." Ethan says.

"Anyway, I'm sure you're dad will be delighted Joyce. The great Cadogan's daughter finally made it to a Quidditch team. You're a first reserve by the way."

"Cool. It would have been better if I was on the line up." Joyce said.

"Don't push your luck. We can't afford to lose Sean as Chaser especially with Oliver Wood being Keeper."

"Sheesh that Oliver Wood again."

"Why? He's Hogwarts best Keeper."

"No, I think you're better." Celeni says.

"Definitely. YOU'RE MUCH better than that... that..." Joyce added

"Joyce has something against Oliver Wood." Celeni interrupted before her friend explodes to a bunch of rants.

"Oh! I see... You see him as the hottest player on the field that's why you don't want to compete against him." Ethan jokingly commented to Joyce.

"Har-har. Very funny." Joyce said sarcastically.

Then they blasted the topic on last year's events. They were still wondering why Harry Potter disappeared for sometime, Gryffindor could have won the Quidditch Cup but no... they had to suffer another year of Slytherin's victory.

"Well at least Gryffindor still won the house cup, that's a downer to Slytherin's overwhelmingly inflated heads. Slytherin will never win because of that son of Lucius Malfoy. What a loser." Joyce said.

So they continued babbling about random topics like anxiety on Advanced Transfiguration, who the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher will be and random gossips about who's seeing who.

"You know what... I heard Percy Weasley was dating our roommate now our new prefect, Penelope Clearwater."

"Yeah, I used to have a crush on her. But she's too responsible for me." Ethan said.

Both girls laughed and Celeni furiously turned scarlet for unexplainable reasons.

"I wonder if Snape will ever consider dating in his plans." Ethan said.

This time, both girls threw all over the floor laughing.

"With who??? Professor McGonagall!!!" Celeni said.

"Nah... I think McG is for Dumbledore." Joyce commented.

"What are you three talking about," exclaimed Penelope Clearwater with Gryffindor prefect Percy Weasley.

"Hi Penny... just thinking of topics to discuss with you in our dormitory. And your adorable beaux... Hi Percy." Celeni said.

"Adorable... you call that adorable?" Penelope teasingly replied.

"Very funny Penny... but you sure are most definitely adorable to me. No, you're gorgeous." Percy said.

"*hums* Love is in the air," Joyce said.

"I better go to my siblings now, good thing only three of them in this train. They might not change their robes in time, we'll get to Hogwarts in 17 minutes."

"Look there goes Prefect Percy." Ethan said. "... Oh, I forgot, Prefect Penelope too."

"Haha, bye everyone. See you at the Great Hall."
