Summary: Hogwarts is getting ready for their first ever hosting of muggle sports! What would Hogwarts be like if Muggle sports were added as an afterschool program? Sports Include American Football, Soccer, Wrestling and Volleyball. Which sports will Draco, Harry, Ron and Hermione choose?

The students of Hogwarts were crowded in their Common Rooms. They all were struggling to get a look at the new sign posted on the Notice Board.

"Harry, we should just sit down and wait for everyone to leave. The sign will still be there when they are gone." Hermione said impatiently.

"Hermione, I want to see what the sign says and go down to breakfast." Harry said, irritated. Harry noticed Ron making his way into the crowd. "RON I ASKED YOU TO WAIT FOR ME!"

Fine be that way Harry and you too Ron, you insufferable lump. I am just going to wait here like a sane person would do. Hermione thought to herself.

"Mione, come look at this!" Harry shouted over the raucous noise.

"Oh fine, if it will get you to shut up I will." She said as she elbowed her way into the crowd. Her eyes widened when she saw what was written. The bushy-haired female decided to take charge and read it aloud. It would disperse the crowd somewhat at the very least.

"Professor Dumbledore has recently decided to add a list of sports as an after class program to those interested. There will only be muggle sports available because of his decision. If you wish to learn more, a list at the bottom of this page will be provided with the names of the physical activities. Informational meetings have been scheduled. Signed, Deputy Headmistress M. McGonagall." Hermione finished her words falling on attentive ears.

The silence of the common room was broken by a quiet voice in the back. "Well, what sports are there Hermione?"

"There are only muggle sports. All muggleborns can specify the criteria and rules of the sports. American Football, Soccer, Volleyball and Wrestling are on this list." She looked around to see if any of them actually understood what those were. There was a minute of silence when each person was deciding what sport to try.

Hermione: Volleyball? Volleyball! Should I go for it? I was pretty good at it back home. And everyone here has probably never played before. I could have a really good record in both academic and athletic...

Harry: WRESTLING! Finally other people will know what I am talking about when I tell them about my favorite sport. But will anybody else join? Maybe I can convince Ron to join too? There is no point even trying to convince Hermione all she is going to say is 'Sports would take time away from my studies' or something like that.
Ron: Finally, a muggle sports unit. Now if only I can convince Dumbledore to start gym or something like that.. I am going to try for everything. I wonder if Dad knows about this already? He would probably jump his rocker when he finds out.

"Hermione what is wrestling?" Alicia Spinnet asked.

"I'll answer that Mione." Harry interrupted. "Wrestling is a full body contact sport. It's similar to the wizarding game RattleSnakes. But instead of snakes fighting under a spell it's us fighting, and no spells are used. There are different amounts of points that can be scored, but it depends on the moves that you do. A pin will win you the match." When he seen the confused looks on a couple of faces he added "A pin is when you hold your opponent's shoulder down on the mat for 5 seconds." Heads started nodding.

"And what is American Football? Is it anything like our Football?" Lee Jordan asked. Because of the resemblance to Quidditch, wizards and witches had taken to watching Football (soccer).

Hermione and Harry went over every aspect of each of the sports. But in the Slytherin Common Room:

"They really expect us to play muggle sports?" Draco asked with a look of disgust.

"Really, I have to watch that at home to 'keep up with the muggle world so that we fit in better' and now I have to play it at school? Ugh, I am not trying out for anything." Draco hated the way that his mother made him watch everything muggle. News and sports. 'We have to fit in with the muggles and the wizards because we can't spend all our time in the wizarding world, Draco.' Ugh, I hate when she gets like that. Why can't I spend all my time in the wizarding world? We have our own sports and we have stores with food and our wands so we can conjure up anything we need. Why the muggle world? Draco mused over this memory for while when he was snapped back into reality by Crabbes grunt. He gave Crabbe a dirty look and scanned over the rest of the notice until he found a sport he has never heard of.

"Wrestling what's that?" He turned to Crabbe and Goyle. "You ever heard of Wrestling?" When they shook his head Draco became even more amused. Hmm, wrestling doesn't sound too bad. I guess I'll go see what that is all about. He looked at the information schedule times and found that the time coincided with his detention with Snape. Bollocks, now I have to go and ask Snape if I can take his detention some other time.

As he walked towards Snape's office he was startled when the door opened very quickly and revealed Professor McGonagall.

"Good Morning Mr. Malfoy." She said absentmindedly as she walked away. Draco walked up to the door and knocked.

"Minerva I can't…" Snape said curtly.

"Professor, I was wondering..." Draco interrupted.

"Ah, Draco Malfoy. I know what your wondering and yes; you may skip the detention tonight. But only because I have a prior engagement. You will make up the detention tomorrow at 8 o'clock sharp." He said quickly.

"Professor Snape, what was Professor McGonagall doing here?" He asked curiously.

"Never you mind. Now go eat breakfast." He snapped, coal eyes narrowing.

"Yes sir." Draco said while hiding a smirk.

In the great hall, all the tables were talking excitedly about the announcements on their boards.

"Quiet, Quiet." The Headmaster said as he stood up.

"Now then. I am sure that you have all seen the notices posted by Professor McGonagall, the one that says that muggle sports will be implemented at Hogwarts?" He waited for a response and when he saw a few heads nodding he continued. "I have come to a decision that we will be starting the practices as soon as possible, but we will also try to make it so that none of the practices, Quidditch included, will interfere with the other. Because of the difference in pitch sizes, Hogwarts will be undergoing some construction. The Quidditch Pitch will have Soccer Posts installed and a Volleyball court will added beside the Pitch. As for Wrestling, because it is an indoor sport there will be a wing added to the school. There a gymnasium will be added. It will feature a designated part only for Wrestling and another part for working out. We are also interested in starting a gymnastics team but that may take a few years. I will get back to you with the schedules for practice later tonight. Right now, let breakfast begin." And with a flourish of his arm, delicately prepared food appeared on the table.

The rest of the day passed without incident. None of the houses got any homework because the information meetings were scheduled to take place tonight before Dinner.
