DESCRIPTIONS & INVITATIONS
My black hair was cut in the short-cropped style that our school preferred. The top was combed forward, then back creating a tuft of hair to either stand-up, or lay like an ocean wave.
Pia's hair was buttery blonde mixed with pale sunlit coloured layers. Her longish hair was parted on the side and reached well beyond her shoulders. She also had a few waves and curls where her hair was attempting to grow longer.
She wasn’t tall by no means, however she was about as tall as I am which really pist me off.
But what really pist me off was the fact that Pia was familiar. I knew that I’d seen her somewhere... or did she just have a familiar face? I didn’t know, but what I did know was that I definitely wanted to get to know her better.
I really liked Pia. But, I wasn’t exactly sure if she liked me as well. The Senior Leagues of Ravenclaw and Slytherin were holding a quidditch match this Friday. And so, one evening as I walked with Pia to her dormitory, I made my winning move.
“Listen Pia, Friday night is the Senior Slytherin verses Ravenclaw quidditch match.” I said.
“So?” Pia answered
“So I'd like you to come.” I said.
These Hufflepuff nerds, they really care about sports - NOT!
“And why,” she asked, “should I come to a stupid quidditch match?”
“Because I'm playing,” I answered.
There was a moment's silence. I think I heard sparrows singing.
“For which team?” Pia asked teasingly as he walked towards her dormitory.

Instead of preparing myself for the quidditch match… I found myself following Pia around the school between classes. I also hung out at the Hufflepuff Library when I had the time. Nobody really knew her all that well.
Pia mostly kept to herself – when her classes were over, she went immediately to her next class – ate alone (guessing since I couldn’t find her). Then when school was over she went straight to work at the library.
However, the quidditch match was coming no matter what, and I really wanted to do well so I’d look good for Pia.
