She flew all over the court, dodged Vice-captain's blows, a Beater, managed to catch Snitch, scored points, get past the Keeper.

Kaguya even hit the Bludger, making it go out of the stadium!

Yoohoo!

It was so hard to have to try out for every position when she only wanted to be a chaser, but Slytherin captain was very demanding.

And if Kaguya wanted to be part of the team, she had to learn to play in all positions.

"Kaguya Black! Seeker test!"

She was already breathing hard from effort she had to endure in Keeper test.

She grabbed her broom and wanting to get it over with, she flew to the boy who would test her as a Seeker.

Seeker originally known as Hunter.

Ironically, Huntress test was the hardest for her.

But she wouldn't settle for just being in the bow or hunting for a Snitch, Kaguya wanted to run, fly and strike.

"You can rest, we will evaluate your score," Noah Flynn, Vice-Captain spoke after Kaguya took the test.

At times like this, she wished she had Potter's luck.

He managed to get on the team without trying out, but she was trying out for every position and there was a good chance she wouldn't even make the damn team!

Kaguya now sat in the stands watching Draco fly across the pitch to catch the Snitch.

He had been through all the trials too, but cousin wanted to be Seeker.

At end of the tests, they gathered all the boys who had taken.

Draco was the first one to be named, making him new Slytherin Seeker.

They named new Keeper and his replacement.

"By the way," Noah said with a board in his hands, "Those who just took Seeker test besides Malfoy wasted their time, we are complete."

Kaguya's jaw dropped to the floor, it was so unfair.

She was sweating blood and crying dirt because of that damn test and she couldn't be a Chaser!

"But a few proved themselves worthy of being on the team... For example... Black?" Kaguya stepped forward, her tone to implicate her position.

"You'll be the replacement beater."

"Replacement!" Kaguya shouted, throwing her broom on the floor and herself onto the bed, "Lucius bought the whole damn team! Except me! Why am I not surprised?"

"Kaguya, relax, maybe a beater will get injured before the game and you can play. Next year you can try out for the chaser again," Pansy sat next to her best friend, stroking her back, giving some comfort, "You're number 13, like your birthday."

Kaguya glanced at Pansy humourless.

"Leave me alone," she ordered, turning around so that Pansy would stop touching her.

Pansy looked at her with a little pity, it was pure luck that Kaguya was even on the team and she understood that girl wanted to be a starter.

But that wasn't what made Kaguya angry, it was just one factor. She felt worthless, a waste, a joke.

A joke... A joke.

'A joke!'

Kaguya searched desperately on her nightstand and grabbed a pen, took out the diary and opened it right to the last page, where she wrote that diary was a joke.

'Tom?'

'Kaguya?'

'What do you do when you don't get what you want?'

'What happened?'

'On the damn Quidditch team, they put me as a substitute. Do you know what that means? Substitute is synonymous with trash!'

'Garbage itself is useless. You shouldn't let them do that to you. They just think they are better. And you must care a lot if you decide to talk to me about it.'

'I'm writing, not talking, Tom. There's a difference. And yes, I do care. It's very clear, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this.

'And why do you think I have the answers to your problems? Am I not supposed to be a joke?'

'Don't be dignified with me, you know and I know that you are just a diary. Way to vent.'

'You're sweet when you let it out to me.'

'I'll burn you if you say that again.'

'I'm writing it, not saying it, there's a difference, Kaguya.'

'If you are a substitute it means that if the player gets seriously injured, you will play in his place.

'And if you play in his place you will show that you are more than just a substitute.'

'Want to win? Set the game in your favor. You are desperate.'

'Ugh....Why do you always be so mighty like you know everything?'

'I always have it. Anything I want.'

'You're a Slytherin's diary, it shows.'

"Oye, Princess! Draco wants to talk to your grumpy arse!"

"Eek!!!!" Kaguya really got freaked out when she heard Pansy's loud screeching voice. 'Was she always this loud?'

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean grumpy?" Kaguya closed the diary and put it away in her robe, and looked at her roommate badly.

"I'll be right down," she announced.

Pansy looked at her a little suspiciously, but closed the door again to go down.

Kaguya put on her robe, making sure the diary didn't fall out. 'Tom was right, I had to arrange things in my favor. But how would I make a player get hurt before the match? I had to plan that.....'

'[System?]'

[Ding! Ding!]

[Yes, Tom Riddle?]

'[....Finally, your voice came after so many years. Does that mean I have enough magic to use my abilities?]'

[Note: System already started to use 'Soul Eater' the moment your Horcrux came into Target's hands.]

'[Good. For now use 'Control B&M']'

'[Certainly, Tom! System wishes you good luck with your Resurrection!]

The next day Kaguya reluctantly went down to the common room, she was tired, as if she had been running all night even when she was asleep.

She took a book of spells and prepared to read.

But a few hurried steps from the boys' staircase made her look away from the book.

It was Marcus Flint, team captain.

Kaguya rolled her eyes, boy's presence offended her, she knew Vice-Captain was a jerk, but didn't expect leader to be one too.

"Good thing you're here, Black!"

Kaguya huffed as Flint sat down next to her on the couch, "I didn't know how to go and wake you up. I need you ready to go to training. Noah is in the infirmary, so you and Malfoy have to train."

....huh?

Kaguya was surprised by that. 'In the infirmary? What happened to him? Did he fall off his broom?'

"What happened to the Vice-Captain?"

"Last night, someone pushed him down the third floor stairs. He broke several bones," Flint stood up with a dark look on his face, determined to find the culprit who attacked his friend, "I'll go wake up rest of the team."

When Flint left, Kaguya immediately ran up to her room. She pulled out her team uniform and her diary.

'I'm going to be a starter! Vice Captain fell down the stairs.'

'It was their destiny to fall. And yours is to rise.'

'Thanks for the advice, Tom.'

'Among snakes we help each other.'

Kaguya finished dressing, took her broom and went back down to where several members of team were already.

"I thought you wanted to be a Chaser," Draco said when Kaguya came running into his arms like a little kid.

"What does that matter? I'll be a starter!" Kaguya, in her joy, kissed the cheek of her cousin and another boy who was also on her team.

"You shouldn't kiss strangers on the cheek," Draco warned as they stepped out onto the court, although he was in a good mood now, but also very protective, "They'll think you like them!"

Tom's name popped into Kaguya's head.

"I don't like anyone!" she assured after letting out a sigh that was very suspicious to Draco.

But, Lee Flynn, a 3rd year Slytherin who was a bit depressed since his brother got injured, now already felt a bit like grinning, his cheeks red.

"Dude, she just kissed me....."

"Black literally said she doesn't like anyone, you weirdo!"

"That doesn't matter." Lee waved non-chalantly, now feeling a burst of confidence in his skills, "We have a House Cup to win!"
