Quidditch World Cup.

Hermione, Alicia, Angelina, Fred and George.

"The lovely Hermione, whatever can we do for you" The twins asked as Hermione joined their group which included Angelina and Alicia who they'd run into on the campsite.

"I just needed to ask you something that's been bothering me. Oliver got on to Puddlemere really quickly. It was practically as soon as he left Hogwarts and since he trained Harry, do you think- ?"

The quidditch team started shaking their heads before Hermione could finish the question.

"Harry was his secret weapon."

"And Oliver took training him seriously."

"Plus it would have gone against his ethics to use Harry's fame as a bargaining tool."

"He ranted for months when Tiberius Scadgemole got Beater after only a season because his brother bought the team." Alicia backed up George's point.

"Don't forget the speech." Angelina added.

"We swore to keep that secret. No outsiders."

"Fred, I don't think Hermione Granger can really be considered an outsider as far as Harry is concerned."

"Fair point. Proceed."

"Oliver made Harry's privacy a condition of being on the team. As soon as he knew Harry was on the team he got us together and gave us a speech."

"It was almost better than the pre-match speech."

"Let me see if we can recreate it." Hermione tried to say it wasn't needed but there were a few empty firewhisky bottles lying about and she decided it wasn't worth the hassle. After a few squabbles and the twins request for Alicia and Angelina to join them when they couldn't remember the last part, they had managed to create a performance for Hermione.

"We are Gryffindors and as lions the Quidditch team is our pride." Oliver (played by Angelina) began chest out, proclaiming his pride in his team. "We protect our own, whatever happens in the classroom or in the corridors or in the outside world, we are a team and we will show that in everything we do. I'm telling you this because Harry Potter is our new seeker."

Oliver ignored the surprised looks on the rest of the team, (George, Fred and Alicia playing their younger selves with aplomb.) "He might only be a first year but he is going to be our team's greatest asset. He will also be our team's greatest weakness. He is famous and because of that, we will be getting more scrutiny than ever before, possibly even press attention. The press will ask you to tell them what he wears, how he talks, what his favourite subject is, what girl or boy he likes. It might seem insignificant if you tell them but it matters." Angelina then dropped her tone a little becoming more serious.

"Every little bit of information that you let out reduces his trust in us, reduces cohesion and I will not let that affect this team. I don't care what they offer you, when you're on this team, my team, if I hear you have done anything to hurt Harry, even indirectly, you are out. That boy is made to fly and anyone who prevents that will have me to talk to." Angelina, replicated their past captain's sincerity perfectly leading to Fred and George throwing themselves down to the floor so they could kiss her feet and proclaim, "Bravo, bravo."

"Get up you idiots," she smiled before switching her focus to Hermione. "Oliver took Harry's privacy seriously, I would say it was his second biggest concern after winning the cup."

"But what about when he left Hogwarts, he didn't need to have the same loyalty. What if he gave some information away to be considered?"

"If he did do something like that, which is unlikely, he would have asked Harry's permission first. and knowing Harry, he would have let him."

"Talking of our Star Seeker, I think he's heading this way."

"Hermione, Fred, George. We're heading to the stadium."
