It's Q-ditch practice, but this time Ravens' House practices along with Snakes' House. You happen to be the weakest in the Raven team and are often met with scornful looks from both your teammates and the opponents alike.

In this practice, Q-ditch match teams are to be mixed completely, even playing in different positions than usually, and you, of course, are chosen into your team as the very last one. You realise with dread that your team consists fully of Snakes' House boys only, who look at you with that familiar scorn on their faces. But then you look away from their contemptuous sneers and you lock eyes with Regulus. He's the only one looking at you with an encouraging, comforting smile instead, his green eyes look radiant. You smile back at him, feeling a bit better.

Then the game begins. As it progresses, there comes a time for every chaser on the team to try and serve the quaffle. When it's finally your turn, Regulus is the one to catch the quaffle. He then flies towards you gracefully and puts it on your extended hand, giving you that gentle, encouraging smile.
