summary terry stays after practise for a bit longer, and someone is there when he's done.
rating erm...pg...because I like pg.



Terry had stayed after practise for a bit longer. He needed the fresh air and alone time. Walking into the locker rooms, he shook his sweaty hair and stripped down to take a cold shower and cool himself down from the practising. Feeling the cold water running down his back gave him the chills, but soon enough he was stepping out, a towel around his waist. Shaking his hair off, water flew and landed on the ground as he pulled on his clothes. Slipping his black sweater on over the blue shirt he wore, Terry heaved a tired sigh and headed out the door. Practise was exhausting, Michael worked them hard, but it was worth it. Their first game was coming up, and practise makes perfect. They had to win the game.

Stepping out into the cold grass, he sighed and ran a hand through his wet hair. It took a while for it to dry, and when it did, it usually lay flat. Terry started to walk back to the school, his shoes squeaking in the damp grass, and the wind blowing against his body. He squinted at the setting sun, and heaved a sigh. He wanted to talk to Hannah so bad, but he couldn't get the guts to. Everytime he did, he'd chicken out and walk away. When he saw a girlish figure walking a ways in front of him, his stomach lurched. Was it Hannah? But when he saw the short hair he felt his heart slow down, and his pace slowed to match it. He couldn't keep doing this to himself, seeing every girl and saying it was Hannah. When he saw the figure turn he furrowed his brows and squinted to see who it was. Terry scrunched his face up. Tracey.

That's it, Tracey decided, it was all Goyle's fault.

With a scowl that could scare away even the most horrible of beasts, Tracey got down on her hands and knees and searched for her bracelet. The damn thing had come unhooked sometime during the Ravenclaw practise and now, in the dimming light, she had gone back to find it.

Earlier in the day she had decided it would be fun to take a break from her school work and watch how the Claws did things, but now she wasn't so sure. The bracelet she had lost was brand new and it wouldn't have even come undone if it hadn't been for Gregory Goyle. He had bothered her that morning while she was fixing the clasp and in her desperation to get away she must not have been paying it the attention it deserved. It had been on her wrist when the practise started and she had noticed it missing as she was leaving the stands. She had retraced her steps up to this point and had found nothing. Now she was kneeling in the stupid stadium on her knees in the near-dark. All because of Goyle. Ugh.

Just as she was about to give up (and maybe try a finding spell), Tracey felt something. She grinned as she held up the tiny silver and green beads and one look at the clasp confirmed her suspicions: it was broken. Placing the bracelet in her skirt pocket, she stepped lightly down the stairs and out of the stands. The sun was almost down below the horizon now and she hoped that she wasn't too late for dinner. Daphne may be on a diet but Tracey sure wasn't! She was hungry!


Tracey walked quickly across the Quidditch pitch, humming to herself as she thought over how long it might take to fix the clasp again. She was broken out of her thoughts, however, when she became aware of footsteps behind her. She quickly turned her head and saw a figure, a boy, walking her way. Who was it.....? Oh. Boot. She almost rolled her eyes but stopped, not really caring either way that he was coming her way. However... the part in the paper about him and Hannah Abbott struck her as very funny and she couldn't help but giggle loudly.

Terry heard a giggle, and cringed at the sound. It seemed like all the Slytherin girls had an annoying, screeching giggle. "D'you mind keeping that to yourself?" he asked loudly. As he approached the girl, he jammed his hands into his hoodie pocket and thought a bit. She was giggling at the newspaper article that said he'd been caught in the halls, snogging Hannah. Heaving an exhausted sigh he walked passed the girl, without another word to her. She was annoying, just like Daphne. It always seemed like Tracey was right next to Daphne. Whenever Terry saw either of them, the other was always right there, both waiting for gossip to spill. Of course, he didn't need anymore gossip about himself or Hannah, he'd had enough with girls giggling at him, or glaring, and guys grinning at him like he'd accomplished something. Honestly - Terry hadn't meant for it to happen so...well so sudden but it did. Tonks had caught them, and somehow it got to Frobisher. One of many girls who loved to gossip.

Honestly - he didn't know what to say to Tracey. He knew if he said something rude, she'd shoot something right back at him, twice as worse. "I heard you and Daphne were going to make a banner?" he asked as he'd turned around to face her. "I hope it says something about Slytherin losing." Terry added with a nod. "You guys are awful this year." he finished and sighed. "S'to bad you'll have to lose the first match of the year." Terry really didn't have anything on Tracey, except that Goyle had asked her to the ball, but that wasn't all too bad.

Her laughter was cut short at Terry's remark about her banner but her eyes still danced with amusement. Of course he would say that, he was a Ravenclaw! Tracy crossed her arms to block out the slight breeze and raised an eyebrow, wondering if she should go low and drudge up the Hannah incident or if she should just reply like a normal witch should. It would be more amusing to say something about his little girlfriend, but for now she would try to play nice. For now.

"Of course we're making a banner! We make one every game. Well... all the games we play in, that is. Oh, and that time we...." She cut off, remembering the cruel banner they had made making fun of Gryffindor. Well, more making fun of Weasley. She shook her head, not even wanting to go there, "Well, we always make banners. And no, you are not going to win this time, Slytherin is! They're in top form this year, you know." Actually, she had no clue. She hadn't even been out to see any of the Slytherin practises, but it wouldn't sound good to say so, would it?

She lowered her arms and put her hands in her skirt pockets, wondering why she was still out here. With a Ravenclaw, at that. "Anyway, where's your girlfriend? Better watch out, you might get another detention!"

He couldn't help but laugh at her remark. 'We make one every game!' "And I'm so sure Slytherin would be devastated if you didn't make one." he said and shook his head. "What a shame that'd be." he continued on and sighed. "You wouldn't know Davis. I've watched most of their practises and I haven't seen you there once," Terry replied sharply and grinned. "Probably out snogging Goyle. I heard he asked you to the dance? What fun that'll be. Stuffing your face full of pies with him. How romantic." he finished off and sighed.

When she made a remark about him and Hannah, his smile faded and was replaced with a frown. Stepping closer to Tracey, he looked down at her and gritted his teeth. He'd really had enough with people talking about him and Hannah. "Seriously, you have to sink real low to say that Davis." he muttered at her quietly.

Tracey immediately glared at him at the mention of Goyle. Ugh, NO! That's... that's disgusting. A slew of other words to describe Goyle crossed her mind but she found that she was too embarassed to even talk.

She took a step backwards as he loomed over her in anger, her face almost even sorry for what she had said. Her eyes flickered between the ground and his face, not sure how to respond.

"I didn't start that rumour, did I? So back off." She turned away from him, her arms crossed again in annoyance. Her short hair fluttered in the evening wind and she tucked some of it behind her ear. "I was just playing around."

Terry couldn't help but grin when she stepped backwards. At least he knew he could over power Ms Davis. "Still, you sank low enough to bring it up for me mentioning Goyle right?" he asked with a smile and laughed when she said she was playing around. "Playing? I doubt it love." he replied with a nod and sniffed. "Slytherins don't play around. Usually, they're just out right pratts." Terry continued with a small smile.

Tracey was angry, or was just acting like it. Either way, it made Terry happy that he'd made her at least a bit angry. Terry heaved a tired sigh and looked at the setting sun. It was almost dark, and he knew they'd need to go in before dinner. Glancing at his watch, he saw they still had a good fourty - five minutes left.

Tracey also sighed, not sure if she wanted to continue this conversation with Boot. She felt a mixture of annoyance and shame, which really just made her feel bad all around. Maybe Abbott and Boot did deserve to get made fun of, but she certainly didn't want him going on to her about Goyle.

She forced herself to smile. A super-small, almost-not-there smile. "I'm glad you think so highly of my House. Why don't you use that aggression in the upcoming game instead of on me? " She walked away from him, not really wanting to be the one to rush away in the situation, but not wanting to linger, either. She turned to look at him, her eyes narrowed.

After what he'd said about her house, he felt bad. Terry was never good at being mean, and if he was he felt bad afterwards, even if it was a Slytherin. "Listen - I'm sorry. Just - after the newspaper people have been giving me rot about it all the bleeding time." he said angrily and ran a hand through his hair. "If you don't say anything about it, you won't get anything from me about Goyle." he finished with a firm expression. He couldn't believe he was trying to reason something out with Tracey. Tracey Davis. The Tracey Davis. When he watched her walk away, he felt a breeze whisk by him and then she stopped and turned towards him.

Raising a brow at the girl he blinked a few times. Did she want something, forget something, or did she just like to look at him. "Enjoying the view of Terry Boot?" he asked as he raised his brows and grinned at Tracey.

She shook her head at him, almost laughing in disbelief. "Fine, the subject is closed. And yes, I enjoy seeing a scruffy Claw when I'm trying to go to dinner. I hope I'm still not nauseous by the time I get there." Her words are mean but her voice is light, as if daring him to think that she actually is being silly and not cruel.

Waving in a mocking way, Tracey turned around and started walking again, hoping that Daphne wouldn't complain too much at being so late.

Terry smiled. "I'm glad I make you nauseous. Maybe you'll lose a few pounds from not eating." he said with a shrug and walked passed her almost silently. "I'll see you around Davis." he said and waved a hand at her as he jogged back up to the castle. Terry really couldn't believe he'd just said that to Tracey. He was never that mean to a girl.

Entering the castle, he joined Stephen at the Ravenclaw table, and looked around at the entrance to see if Tracey had arrived yet. Laughing quietly, he started to talk Quidditch with Cornfoot.
