Nicholas find Skylar's proposition amusing, "Why you can make a good Slytherin, Brookes." He said, laughing at the thought. But he shares the same sentiments, that it sucks to lose. He would do anything in his power to win, anything. If only he can get his hands on something... something probably not illegal or seem dirty at all, but would work the same result. But this is not the time to talk about schemes, not with a Ravenclaw around, they're too clever for that. "I say Lonan is right. We cant risk of getting ourselves kicked out of the game before it got even started. We should be prepared anyhow. But if it comes to that, well, who else could better pull such strings." Nicholas shrugged. He's a little worried about the new Gryffindor Keeper though, he knows whoever may have replaced Nick Gerret will have a whole lot new effect to Gryffindor's game. But what could go wrong?
There's still a lot to be concerned off aside from Quidditch this year, there's tons of tests, and O.W.Ls. O.W.Ls most especially. His future in the Ministry depends on his O.W.L scores. Unlike his brothers, Nicholas' goals are bigger. Though he loves Quidditch very much, its power he really wants. "There will be people from the Ministry at the feast, representatives and examiners by the looks of it." He said, bringing out a copy of the Daily Prophet from his book bag. "Sounds pretty big this year."
