A/N: Enjoy this chapter!
Making a Quidditch team
Harry had been made Quidditch captain again. And now, the awaited day had come. He was now building a new team for Gryffindor.
Last time, things had been rather noisy, and no one had listened to him. But this time, everyone was quiet. Perhaps it was the fact that they had more respect for him now, as he had killed Voldemort. Or maybe it was just because the newcomers had more respect than the last group.
"So… I want to see everyone try their best! Beaters, line up here, chasers, line up here, well… I'm seeker, keepers line up here." Harry said awkwardly.
Everyone lined up for their position,.
"Okay, I want to see the Beaters try first. I'll be letting go of a Bludger, and I want everyone to go, one by one." Harry called out.
"Okay, you! First in line, are you ready?" Harry asked.
"Y-yes!" The blond called. He looked as if he was a second year.
Harry got the Bludger in hand, and the boy held his bat ready, with his broom underneath him. Harry let go of the Bludger and it flew at the blond boy, and the blond boy ended up throwing the bat at the Bludger and flying away in fear.
"NEXT!" Harry called, as he retrieved the Bludger.
It was a girl this time, surprisingly. She hit the Bludger, but not near hard enough.
"NEXT!" Harry called, retrieving the Bludger once again.
And it went on, until Harry had chosen a fourth year girl, named Hazel Jedynak, and a sixth year boy, named Billy Andrews. (A/N: OMG, Jedynak, isn't that an awesome last name? One of my guy friend's last name is that. :P)
For the Chasers, Ginny, a second year boy named Steve Holladay, and a third year girl named Bonnie Macbeth were chosen.
And finally, the Keepers tryouts came.
And Ron wasn't there.
Where the bloody hell was Ron?
Harry and Ginny exchanged glances as they looked around for Ron. But, he was nowhere to be found.
"Well, are we going to be doing the Keeper tryouts, or not?" A rude chubby boy with black hair asked.
"We are. No need to be rude about it." Harry said.
"Just give me a second." Harry said, as he walked to the stands, where Hermione was sitting and watching.
"Hermione, do you have any idea where Ron is?" Harry asked.
"No, I don't. Although I do suspect that Ron is in the other Quidditch field, watching the Slytherin tryout. You know, his love, Alissa is going to be trying out." Hermione said, rolling her eyes.
After everything had been well destroyed in the second War, they had reconstructed everything, and had made two Quidditch fields, so the Houses wouldn't be arguing so much.
"Good Merlin… what a bastard. Well, I have to go on with tryouts, and if he complains about me not saving him a spot, I will personally punch him. It was HIM who didn't try out, after all." Harry said.
"I agree." Hermione said, and Harry walked back to the field.
"Okay, the new Chasers here are going to shoot at you, five shots, and I'll choose the best person." Harry said.
Ginny, Bonnie and Steve proceeded to take shots at them, and the Keepers were all failing miserably.
The best one, a fifth year named Piper Patterson, got four shots out of five.
"The new Keeper is Piper Patterson." Harry said, and she squealed.
Harry sighed, and went back to his dorm to get some sleep.
He had just fallen asleep, when he woke up to a roar.
"WHY IS SOME OTHER PERSON THE KEEPER, AND NOT ME, HARRY? I WAS THE KEEPER LAST YEAR, WHY NOT THIS YEAR?"
"Seriously, Ron? Do you really have to wake me up, just for this?" Harry asked.
"Obviously." Ron said.
"Oh my merlin! YOU didn't show up for the Quidditch practice, it was entirely your fault! Why are you being like this Ron? It's JUST a girl!" Harry said exasperatedly.
"It's not just ANY girl, Harry. It's Alyssa! She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my life!" Ron exclaimed.
"So? She's dating the ferret right now, you know? Get her when she's single! And don't blame people for things that YOU could have changed. If you hadn't been there, you could have made it for Keeper!" Harry said. "But you didn't, and now you're facing the consequences. I'm sorry, Ron. But you have to try and be more responsible from now on. I can't just cover for you just because you're my best friend."
"Please? This is really important for me!" Ron said.
"I'm sorry, I already told Piper that she was accepted." Harry said, sighing.
"But I NEED to show off to Alyssa!" Ron said.
"Well I guess you have to show off to her from the stands then." Harry said.
"How am I supposed to do that?" Ron exclaimed.
"How am I supposed to know? Find out yourself." Harry replied.
Ron was acting like a moron, and Harry had had enough of it.
"But… but… why are you being like this, Harry?" Ron asked.
"Hm… I wonder? WHY AM I BEING LIKE THIS? Reason #1, you're being an asscrack, yes I said it, you're being a total asscrack, and you're not being good friends with me and Hermione." Harry started off.
"Isn't it crackass, not asscrack?" Ron asked. (A/N: LOL, one of my guy friends said asscrack, so I just decided to put that in XD. Thanks Lord Jinsura *imaginary salute*)
"NO ONE CARES!" Harry roared, and Ron shrunk back in fear. "Reason #2, you're too obsessed with Alyssa! You're leaving Hermione and me behind, not caring about us."
"That's not true… at least not completely…" Ron mumbled.
"REASON #3, IT WAS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY TO COME TO THE TRYOUTS, SO IF YOU DIDN'T COME, IT'S YOUR FAULT! SO, WHY EXACTLY ARE YOU BLAMING ME?" Harry asked, shouting.
"Well… you're my friend and… all…" Ron mumbled.
"You're SUCH a HEAD-DICK! Just because I'm your friend doesn't mean ANYTHING! Okay, so what if you were trying out for a professional Quidditch team. You worked really hard, and you think you did well. Oh well, you couldn't make it, because your captain's friend, who didn't EVEN who up, got the position." Harry said.
"What the bloody hell? OF COURSE I'D BE FREAKING PISSED AT THAT PERSON!" Ron shouted.
"Well guess what? That's exactly how Piper would have felt if I have done that, and so that's why I didn't do it." Harry ended, lying back down and pulling the sheets above his head.
"But… but Harry!" Ron said, but Harry just clasped his hands over his ears and tried to go to sleep.
Of course, he didn't go to sleep until much after that.
A/N: I know this is really short and all, but I just really needed to get a chapter done… Anyways, I probably won't update anytime soon, until after the 22nd because that's when my assignment is due… well unless I make it to go to the Heritage Fair which I strongly doubt.
Anyways, Potter on!
