A/N: Hey guys, I'm back. It has been a crazy year hasn't it? I mean Donald Trump wins the US Presidency, the Chicago Cubs win the World Series ending a 108 year streak of not winning the World Series, and all of the good actors and musicians we have lost this year. We lost Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Prince, and Kenny Baker aka R2-D2. So far the year hasn't been nice to us or even me, I stopped writing shortly after the last update due to the face I had Bell's Palsy, for those who don't know what that is I will tell you. It is a virus that paralyzes your face nerve, so basically it makes it look like you had a stroke. For some good news now though, I'm one hundred percent better and bringing you a new chapter. I changed it a little bit though, instead of the meeting of Fluffy, I just made it one where Harry remembers his grandfather before quidditch season begins. Thank you all who commented on me putting in the wrong names last chapter, I will upload the corrected version along with this chapter. Before I forget, I would like to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and I hope that your family gatherings were filled with love and joy. Thanks a lot folks, enjoy the new chapter.
Chapter 4: Quidditch Match 1 and Family
A week had passed since the troll incident. People were still wondering how it was let in, but most forgot about it because it was time for quidditch season to begin at Hogwarts. Most were excited to see how Harry would do in his first ever match, most were betting on him winning while about 95% of Slytherin house were betting that he would fall off his broom and lose the match.
After Harry had left Madame Pomfrey's care, he began thinking of what he saw Halloween. Snape had a bite on his leg, which made him wonder what had bitten him. He had put it off due to homework and worrying about his first quidditch match. Though due to overhearing Neville's conversation with Hermione, he had pieced it together.
Dumbledore had said that said that the third floor was off limits, but due to the crazy stairs a few people ended up on the third floor. Neville's conversation talked about a three headed dog, which meant it was a Cerberus and they were normally used for guarding things, at least that's what the books say. Taking the conversation and the bite on Snape's leg, led Harry to conclude one thing: Dumbledore was hiding something and that dog was guarding it but what is the question on his mind.
Pushing that away for now, Harry was interrupted from his homework when Hedwig was at the window pecking at it. Opening the window Harry petted Hedwig's head which she enjoyed, before sticking her leg out showing a letter tied to it. Untying the letter, Harry pulled two pieces of bacon from the treat bag he had in his trunk. Hedwig immediately flew towards the bed and snatched the bacon from him and ate them on top of the bed.
Opening the letter Harry was surprised that it was from his grandmother. He had met his grandparents once, but due to Charlus having dragon pox, it wasn't safe for a young child to be there with them so they weren't allowed to care for him. Harry had met them when he was six years old and Charlus was in the last stages of dying from the dragon pox. While it was a horrible disease it was slowed down enough by Nicholas Flamel who had created a way to allow the person to fight it and give them a life back, but it couldn't cure it fully. Getting out of his thoughts Harry read the letter fully to see what was new with his grandmother.
"Dear Harry, I hope you are doing well. I heard from Cassie that you are the new seeker for Gryffindor. You're becoming more like your father every day, but thank goodness that you have your mother's instincts about certain things. I know we haven't spoken since the funeral of your grandfather. It was hard on all of us, especially me. The man I loved for 60 years was gone and the only remaining family I have left is you, Sirius, Andromeda and Nymphadora. Bellatrix and Narcissa made their choices when they married those horrible men and became supporters of Voldemort. You better do good in school young man or else you will be in trouble with both me
and your mother. I love you my grandson, I hope to see you soon. Please write to me.
Grandma Dorea."
Harry finished the letter and was surprised that it had been so long since they had actually talked. It was still hard to realize that his grandfather died just a few years back. He knew that his grandfather wa a good man and a man who always felt that the supposed leader of light was too lenient on people.
Charlus had fought against the old bastard many times, even when Harry's father was alive, he was at odds against the old coot. He had asked why Dumbledore was so keen on keeping someone alive and giving them a second chance, when they sorry bastards would probably sacrifice their own mother to save their own skin. Charlus had told the 'leader of light' that you do not forgive someone who nearly killed you, attempted to kill your family or had raped someone, and finally known that they had killed, used an unforgivable, and swore complete loyalty to gain the dark mark. You put someone like that down and you make sure that everyone of the followers of Voldemort know that you side with him, you die.
Harry broke out of his thoughts and began to write a letter back to her. He didn't go into to much detail, but just summarized what was going on. He wrote that he was one of the top students, he kept his nose clean, and helped out his friends. Deciding to write her about the troll would be a bad idea, but if he did it now, it wouldn't be as bad as when his mom found out. Finishing the letter, Harry sent Hedwig out to take the letter to his grandmother, who nipped his fingers and flew off huffing as she did so.
Grabbing his bag, Harry rushed down the stairs to go to the quidditch pitch to get ready for practice since it was only 5 days until the first quidditch match. Oliver had gone ahead and reserved the field from 3-6 every night, which pissed off all of the team. Each of them had their own plans that they wanted to do: the twins wanted to plan new pranks on Ron due to him being an ass and telling lies about how he was brave when Neville and Hermione were scared of the troll, Katie wanted to catch up on her homework and reading the gossip mags that her mom sent her, Alicia just wanted to slink into her bed and sleep for the whole week, and Angelina was planning on teaching Harry how to kiss a girl.
Killing time after quidditch was hard for everyone, especially Oliver. They had been training so much, their bodies were sore and very tired. Knowing that they needed to relax, Oliver had gotten permission to have the whole team relax in the Prefect's Bathroom. McGonagall had told everyone that they must wear swim wear or else, she would make sure that the bath was sectioned off into men and women's sides. No one wanted to argue with the Transfiguration professor, they just nodded their head and headed off to the bath.
When the team arrived in the bath, they were amazed at what they were seeing. The bath was big, big as some of the public swimming pools. There were more soaps and shampoos than there were people. The large stained glass window was of a mermaid relaxing on the rocks singing, as with everything in Hogwarts, was magical and stared at the team. When the mermaid saw that she was being watched, she turned away and entered the water.
McGonagall had told the team to wear conservative swim wear, meaning the girls should not wear bikinis nor the guys wearing speedos. She didn't want to explain why there was blood or something else in the bath. The twins joked that they knew that if anyone was going to be getting dirty in the bath, it was going to be Harry. A quick stinging hex shut the two up courtesy of Angelina.
Once the team had dressed in their bathing suits, they quickly settled into the water and felt their worries just go away. Their aches and pains were being healed by the hot water and it felt good to just sit and relax for once. Harry was smothered by Angelia who had put her arm around him and brought him close to her body. Alicia and Katie snickered at how Harry looked at the moment, but a sharp glare from Harry stopped them.
Before anyone could get really relaxed, the twins decided to push the soaps and the whole bath was soon covered in bubbles. Everyone was covered by the bubbles and were shouting at each other trying to find the others. Katie and Alicia started to worry when Harry and Angelina didn't answer. Soon the two were upset at Angelina when they saw where she disappeared off to. She and Harry were making out, well Angelina was making out while Harry was trying to push her away as soon as they were spotted.
Angelina looked confused at why Harry did that, until she saw the shocked faces on the others. A grin soon appeared on her face, which scared Harry as he saw it.
"What? Can't a girl bribe her seeker to do well in the quidditch match? I mean it wasn't like I was trying to fuck him. I was showing Harry what he would get if we won the match. Plus I might have promised him that if he did catch the snitch, Katie and Alicia would kiss him as well." Angelina said causing Oliver, Fred, and George's brains to overload on what Harry would get and caused them to faint.
For Katie and Alicia, their minds went into overdrive when Angelina said that. They both began to see different scenarios in the showers. Katie saw her and harry having sex in the shower while Angelina and Alicia were making out. Alicia on the other hand, her mind went a little dirtier, she saw herself and Harry screwing each others like rabbits in heat, while she and Harry were screwing each other, Katie was fingering Angelina's pussy while she was fucking her ass with a dildo.
By the time the three knocked out boys woke up, they would find penises drawn on their faces with magic marker. After screaming in shock and scrubbing their faces like crazy trying to get the marker off, the three never saw the camera flash go off. Sadly though, the excess scrubbing would not help them, the marker was made to last for 3 days. The only way to hide the dicks drawn on their faces, would be to have Professor Flitwick put a charm on them that would allow them to hide their shame.
The twins while they were upset at what happened, they had to bow down to the four of them. They were now the new prank masters, but vowed to take their places as the best pranksters in Hogwarts. Harry just laughed and said they could keep their silly titles, but wouldn't mind helping them pull pranks. Angelina slapped Harry in the back of his head, making everyone laugh at his pain.
The morning of the quidditch match, everyone was excited. People were running about everywhere trying to figure out where they would sit in the stands. The Gryffindor team was super excited as it was their first match, but they get to see if their practicing would help them out. Most of Slytherin House was grinning like crazy because they knew that with the newbie in Potter, there was no way he could beat the their seeker who had 4 years of experience at playing seeker. For one Harry Potter though, it was the worst day of his life at the moment.
All morning Harry's stomach was in knots and he was sweating up a storm. He was very nervous, he was going to have to play in front of hundred of people as well as his own family. Soon, Harry was pacing the common room and was going to wear himself out, until Katie grabbed his shoulder.
"Calm down Harry. It may be your first match, but it's not going to be your last. I remember that in my first match I was hit with a bludger in the stomach. I still played even though, the fall off my broom had broken two ribs. Anyway what I'm saying is just calm down and relax." Katie says trying to calm Harry down after her story made him pale.
The two went down the stairs to the Great Hall, where they saw the Slytherins making choking sounds at Harry, while most of the others were offering praises and good wishes. McGonagall was smiling as she kept reading her paper slip in front of her. Each of the professors had made bets on who would win today's match and so far a lot of them had placed bets on Slytherin due to their experience. McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick and even Trelawney had bets on Gryffindor winning.
Most of Gryffindor were offering support to Harry hoping that he would get out of his funk on trying to do better. A few days before Harry was dragged by Neville who showed Harry the one thing that made Harry happy, yet sad at the same time. Harry's father James, had won the quidditch cup for Gryffindor in 1996. Next to that, it said Minerva McGonagall as quidditch captain 1966. Seeing that his family were excellent quidditch players made him feel even worse. Seeing as how he had to at least make sure that he could hold his own and prove to everyone that he was just as good as the rest of his family.
By the time the afternoon rolled around for the match to begin, Harry had to be forcefully dragged to quidditch pitch. He went into a small shock when he heard that his mom had created a shirt that said 'My son is the new Gryffindor seeker' making him embarrassed as he could be until he saw both McGonagall and his grandmother hold up a sign that said 'Potter = Victory!' He wanted to cry right then and there, but Angelina cheered him up. She pointed out the one sign that was even worse than his, it said 'Go Fred and George! Beat those snakes!' which was held up by Percy and Ron. Harry laughed at what it said, everyone looked at him funny until he told them that it meant that the twins were going to play with themselves throughout the game.
When the twins heard that, they went pale as a sheet, vowing to beat Ron and Percy with bludgers after the match. Everyone laughed as the two were upset at their brothers. Before they could lose themselves to the joke, Oliver interrupted them all.
"Okay guys, we have trained long nights and even harder training regiments this year. Now we get to put it into action. This year men.." Oliver said before Angelina interrupted him.
"And women" Angelina said throwing Oliver off for a second.
"Yes, and women. We have been training harder than anyone has this year, so now we whether we win or lose, we will show them what we are made of. Here's the plan: Angie, Katie, and Alicia when you get the quaffle hold on to the damn thing and when you see that asshole on the other side you throw it. Fred and George, I want you to keep the bludgers off them and Harry. If you can you two, smack Flint in the face, it will make him prettier than he already is. Now Harry, you're job is to find that damn snitch. Keep an eye out all time and whatever you do, try and not get your ass knocked off the broom. Now let's go out there and kick that those slimy bastards' asses." Oliver said making the team roar in cheers.
(Quidditch stands- Announcer's booth)
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the first quidditch match of the year. We have a good match for you today folks, it is Gryffindor vs Slytherin!" Lee Jordan said making everyone cheer for the start of the match.
"Here comes the two teams now. Flying for Slytherin is Flint, Pucey, Peters, Rogers, Davidson, Bletchley and Higgs." Lee said with an unenthusiastic voice by was able to hide it. Then his voice changed to excited as Gryffindor flew in. "Flying for Gryffindor is WOOD, WEASLEY, WEASLEY, JOHNSON, SPINNET, BELL, AND POTTER!"
As Lee said the Gryffindor team's players the stands exploded. On the Gryffindor side everyone was cheering so loud that it drowned out the boos from the Slytherin side. Hufflepuff was cheering loudly because they didn't care who won, while Ravenclaws were studying the teams for weak spots.
Madame Hooch was wearing her normal robes that she always wore, but she had on a patch on the back that said official. She was going to be the referee and the one who took control of the game. Everyone had to follow her rules, if they didn't then they were penalized or removed from the game. In her arms was the quidditch box which contained the quaffle, the golden snitch, and the two bludgers.
"All right, I want a nice clean game from all of you. You will obey my commands and will follow the rules of the sport. If you do not comply I will remove you from the game or you will not fly in the next match. Do you all understand?" Hooch says making everyone on the field nod their heads.
Madame Hooch kick the box and out came bludgers and the snitch. The snitch flew around Harry and Higgs.
As Hooch grabbed the quaffle and was about to throw it up, Lee was telling everyone in the stands about the rules of the game real fast. Hooch held the ball for a few seconds, causing a lot of tension to begin in the stands. Before anyone could blink, the quaffle was released.
"The quaffle is released and the game begins!" Lee shouted in an excited voice making everyone cheer.
Hooch threw the quaffle straight up and before anyone could react, Angelina flew towards the quaffle and began flying towards the hoops. The others broke out of their stupor and flew after her. The two Slytherin beaters tried to hit her with the bludgers, but missed and hit their own team. Angelina was on a breakaway to the goal, until Flint was right next to her and kicked her. Angelina lost control and tossed the quaffle to Katie, who managed to score before she was hit with a bludger.
"Johnson passes the quaffle to Bell. Oh that's bullshit, Flint just kicked Johnson! Wait a second, Bell has a clear shot and she scores! Ten points to Gryffindor!" Jordan said making the crowd cheer for the Gryffindor team.
As the Gryffindor team cheered for their goal, Hooch was warning the Slytherin team that they were on thin ice. Harry cheered as he saw the goal, but never lost sight of looking for the snitch. The Slytherin seeker was also looking, but was waiting for Harry to make a move before going after him.
Flint had taken possession of the quaffle and was on a breakaway, he threw the quaffle and before anyone could blink, Oliver blocked the quaffle. Flint growled at Oliver for blocking his shot, while Oliver just shrugged. Alicia took possession of the quaffle, but was soon surrounded by Higgs and Rogers who forced her to crash, as she did Hooch called a foul on the two.
" 'whistle' Davidson, Rogers that's the last warning for you two. Next time you do something like that you two are out of the game. Gryffindor gets a free shot at the posts." Hooch said.
The people in the stands started booing at Hooch's call, while some cheered. Alicia was given the chance to make the shot, which she made giving Gryffindor a 20-0 lead. Once again the crowd roared as she scored. Minerva was proud that her team was able to keep their teamwork up.
After 20 minutes of play, the score was 60-40 with Gryffindor leading. The Slytherin team was down one player as Flint took the beater bat from Pucey and smacked a bludger into Oliver while the quaffle was not in the area or in play. Hooch told Flint that she had enough of his antics and threw him out of the game and banned him from the next Slytherin game. Almost all of Slytherin house booed when Hooch did while some of the more impassive ones were ready to head inside as the cold was starting to affect them.
Harry kept scanning around the field and then he saw it, the snitch was behind Oliver. He started flying towards the snitch, with Higgs right behind him. As Harry was about to reach it, the broom started to go out of control. Everyone gasped as this happened, while people began to worry about Harry falling off.
Neville and Hermione were looking through binoculars when they saw something in the professor's area. They each saw a professor muttering a curse or jinx.
"Snape/Quirrell is jinxing the broom!" Neville and Hermione said at the same time.
"Neville you're wrong Snape's jinxing the broom I saw him. He doesn't like Harry and he is head of Slytherin House." Hermione said with a know it all air to her words.
"Hermione, I saw Quirrel muttering as well. He could be casting a curse or a counter curse as well. It doesn't matter who is right, we must break the concentration of both. It's the only way to be sure." Neville says trying to make Hermione see the light.
Hermione would eventually agree with Neville and the two set off to stop Snape and Quirrel. Ron would take the binoculars and would keep an eye on both Harry and at Snape as he hated the man. When the two reached underneath the stands where the professors were, Hermione lit Snape's robe on fire. Soon the crowd in the area went crazy trying to put Snape out and knocked Quirrel over breaking his concentration and ended his curse along with Snape who flipped his hair after stopping and looking back at the field to see if Harry was okay.
Harry's grip began faltering, but then something happened. He felt whatever was causing the broom to go crazy ended and he was able to get on the broom. Flying as fast as he could toward the snitch, he soon caught up to Higgs. The two battle back and forth trying to get the other to crash or go away.
The snitch dove toward the ground and Higgs not willing to go after it pulled up and left the area. Harry went after the snitch and managed to pull up at the last second. The snitch was to far to reach with his hand and Harry knew he couldn't catch it in time, he went for a risky move. Harry stood up and slowly walked on the broom, slowly inching his way toward the handle, he was about to catch it when the broom flipped.
Harry went flying into the sandpit, underneath the quidditch posts. The snitch was gone, but Harry landed face first into the pit. He dusted himself off, but soon felt sick to his stomach and started going through the motions of puking.
Hagrid who had taken the binoculars from Ron began watching the what was going on with Harry. He then summed up what everyone was thinking at the time.
"He looks like he's gonna be sick." Hagrid said making a few of the more squeamish Gryffindors go green after hearing that.
Harry then spits up something, but it wasn't vomit. He had swallowed the golden snitch itself. Harry couldn't believe it, he grabbed the snitch and held it high for everyone to see. As he did the crowd cheered as the game was over and Gryffindor won the match.
"Gryffindor wins!" Hooch said right before the entire Gryffindor section roared with cheers.
"Harry Potter caught the golden snitch for 150 points. Gryffindor wins the match 210-40." Lee said making those who wanted to get out of the cold happy.
Flint who had seen the final play of the game as he was allowed to watch from the stands was upset at the call.
"He didn't catch the snitch he swallowed the damn thing!" Flint said, but it fell on deaf ears due to the crowd.
The entire Gryffindor team cheered as Harry had managed to get them to win the first game of the season. They left in high spirits toward the locker room, where before anyone could say a word Angelina captured Harry in a kiss.
The two were like that for a few minutes, until Oliver cleared his throat. Harry and Angelina broke apart with nothing but a strand of saliva connecting them. Angelina winked at Harry before heading toward her locker to go grab a shower.
Harry feeling wobbly from the kiss sat down on the bench, while everyone else was stunned at what they just saw. Angelina really did what she meant, which meant that Katie and Alicia would kiss him as well. Fred and George's minds rebooted up right away and started patting Harry on his shoulders telling him what a good job he did on taming Angelina. Oliver just wished him luck on his new found relationship and prayed that he could handle three women. Katie just blushed and rushed toward the shower while Alicia just stood there in her underwear winking at him, before Katie grabbed her.
Harry was lucky that the locker room was charmed to create whatever the person needed in there, because if not he would have knocked himself out as he fell onto the newly created bench. While Harry was getting used to the teasing, he was still unsure of himself as the pamphlet that he had only talked about how from ages 11-15 most wizards and witches begin going through puberty. Shaking the images of a naked Angelina scrubbing Katie and Alicia, Harry took a cold shower hoping to both get the images out of his head and to stop his current erection.
When Harry was finally out of the shower, he noticed that the girls were still in there as well. Harry knew better than to bother them, so he grabbed his stuff and headed up toward the castle. As he started up the path, he was surprised by a hug from his mother.
"Oh Harry, you looked so amazing on your broom. You truly take after your father in that aspect and not like your mother who couldn't fly a broom to save her life. Although you're lucky mister that I don't beat you silly for that stupid attempt at catching the snitch by standing on your broom's handle." Cassie said smacking Harry upside his head.
Harry just laughed nervously while rubbing the back of his head where he was hit. As he was Dorea and McGonagall were arriving from the stands while they did, they counted the money they had won. People should learn to never bet against Harry as he will prove them wrong as it was with all Potter men.
Dorea hugged her grandson while McGonagall stashed their winnings away. Dorea was glad that her grandson had managed to win, but he was like his father in the stupid death defying moments while flying. As the two caught up, Cassie talked to her daughter and her friends who giggled at something. Before Dorea and Cassie left, they told the group that they would be waiting for them at home when they come back for the holidays.
(Sinistra's Office)
As Sinistra finished explaining the game to the painting that she argued with most days, the person in the painting couldn't believe what happened. Most of magical paintings only offer advice or become grouchy for dying. The painting with Sinistra was of a young woman, she wore a green sweater and while moving her read hair out of her face. The lady in question was none other than Lily Potter, Sinistra was still curious as why Lily had a painting in her office of all places.
"So Harry managed the catch the snitch, after a death defying stunt? He really takes after James in that regard. I would never do anything like that, but then again I wouldn't do anything that has to be done with a broom at all. So Aurora tell me about the girls Harry hangs around with?" Lily asks while sitting in her chair while the owl in her painting hooted.
"Their names are Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell, and Alicia Spinnet. As I told you, Harry was adopted by your friend Cassie and she took him in. Harry met the other two because of Angelina and the rest is history. From what I have seen, they could be more than good friends." Aurora said while Lily just looked deep in thought, well deep for a painting.
"Aurora when you have a chance, I want you to bring Harry to meet me. I think it's time he and I talked or so I can at least see him once more." Lily said with determination in her voice while Aurora just nodded.
A/N: Well that's the end of another chapter. I hope you guys liked it, it went really slow writing this one. I had to read the rules of quidditch and try and see how both the movie and JK Rowling wrote the scene to figure out what I had to do. I hope you guys liked it, if not I will try to make the next one even better. Well guys, tomorrow or today depending on where you are, Black Friday is officially upon us. I saved my money all year and I'm going to go and fight the crowds for a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. I hope you guys have a good Thanksgiving or whatever you celebrate and I hope that the rest of your year goes good. If you can send some good luck I'm going to need it as I have to do a presentation in front of teachers for a class and I do not like talking in front of crowds. Anyway guys, I'll see you next time and keep your eyes out, I have another story I'm working on with my best friend and it is another Harry Potter story, but this time its a little different than most as usual.
