The Coven Witches

by drphil01

From the beginning fic. This is not an independent or very powerful Harry story. No Dumbles manpulative or bashing, except for some light Ron bashing. Harry has a pet snake and full time bodyguard at his 'home' in Privet Drive. He saves a number of witches from evil clutches and they join his coven.

Please review. Thanks for all prior reviews guys, you are awesome.

CHAPTER 7 – QUIDDITCH

A week had passed since the troll incident and Harry, Susan and Hannah were very close to each other. They were like a Golden Trio in Hufflepuff, and the three of them were very loyal to each other, and to their housemates. Tonks, the seventh year prefect, had also gotten closer to Harry and liked him more, but she didn't favour him above the rest of the house with regard to discipline issues. She was a cheerful and laid-back person, easy to approach and talk to, but was very fair in discipline matters. Justin and Ernie were also his friends and put in a helping hand whenever he needed it, and he too helped them in and out of the classroom. The study group they were in was also friendlier as time went by and when the witches knew what happened to Hannah and that Harry saved her from the troll, they wished that it was them who Harry saved. They really liked Harry not as the-boy-who-lived, but just simply as Harry. Susan and Hannah both loved him and even Susan wrote to her aunt about his courage and friendly character. Amelia Bones was glad that her niece found another close friend. Harry also spent some time with Cedric, the third year Puff and he even apologised to him for taking his seeker position. Cedric replied, "Nonsense Harry, I can play chaser as well, so no need to worry. You would make the perfect seeker." Harry was cheerful once again as Cedric reminded him about teamwork and loyalty.

As time went by, Harry enjoyed classes more, especially Potions now that Snape had laid off his back and was actually surprised that he was getting it right. He had to be fair in rewarding and subtracting equal points and finding good reasons to take points away, otherwise he would have to look for another job out of Hogwarts. Dumbledore would not tolerate any prejudice or favouritism, and he made it clear to even his loyal potions master after the first week of staff meeting. Severus took this warning to heart, but it would take a mighty effort to turn himself around and be a model teacher.

Meanwhile, back in Snape's office, the greasy potions master sat at his desk pondering over the Potter boy and how he gets the job done in his classes. 'Greengrass encourages him,' he thought to himself. His mind turned to one DADA professor Quirrell, and the Halloween incident. He had to corner the stuttering professor and warn him about stealing the item that was guarded underneath the school. The other thing is that no-one in their right mind would faint forward, and Quirrell should have handled the troll. He was the DADA professor after all, so a troll should be easy for him, but no, Potter, the first year Hufflepuff, handled the troll and defeated it, and saved Abbot from certain death. Snape was disgusted with Quirrell and knew there was something not right.

The Quidditch season got under way with Ravenclaw defeating Slytherin 350-20. Marcus Flint, the snakes' captain, was disgusted that his seeker lost out to a witch. The witch in question was Cho Chang, a second year seeker, and she was quite good, but often lost to Cedric. She had gotten the better of Gryffindor and Slytherin in the past, but lost to those houses at times. Snape was also appalled at the performance of his house and showed it at the house meeting. Poor Draco Malfoy couldn't buy his way into the Gryffindor team as McGonagall immediately disallowed it, even if his father Lucius had all the money. Draco was sulking and jealous at Potter getting his place on the Hufflepuff team and that Potter was getting all the attention. So now Hufflepuff was facing off against Gryffindor in a much anticipated match. The Puffs team included Cedric Diggory as one of the chasers and Harry was their seeker, while the rest of the team was made up of fourth to seventh year players, and they were good and skilful players. Harry couldn't wait to start his first match and was at the breakfast table with his new girlfriends and also with Ernie and Justin. They were all encouraging him and wishing him luck in his first game. History was already in the making as Harry became the first student in first year to make the Hufflepuff house Quidditch team, or any house team for the matter. His flying skills and composure were so outstanding that he was allowed on the team.

Harry didn't have an appetite to eat but Susan encouraged him, "You need to eat to do well Harry." She rubbed his back with her hand as if to comfort him that all will be fine.

Tonks chipped in, "Yeah Harry, you're our first firstie to be on a team, so you need to eat to perform very well. We will back you all the way."

"Thanks ladies," he said. He cheered up once more.

He looked up at the professors' table and found his head of house, professor Sprout, sporting a kind smile and nodding to him, while McGonagall and Dumbledore also smiled their encouragement.

Hannah leaned in closer and whispered, "No matter what happens out there I will still love you Harry."

The others didn't hear, but knew the impact that Hannah's words had on Harry. Hannah and Susan both hugged him before he had to make his way after Cedric called him.

In the Quidditch rooms, the Puff captain went through some plays and gave instructions to his chasers, beaters and keeper. He looked at Harry and said, "As for you Potter, your job is to catch the snitch when you see it and that will give us an extra 150 points and end the game." Harry nodded and the team made their way out of the room.

The game started and while there was no animosity or rivalry between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, the Quidditch matches were fierce and very challenging. The two captains pleasantly shook hands to get under way. Gryffindor had Oliver Wood as captain and keeper, the Weasley twins Fred and George as beaters, and three sexy chasers Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet and Angelina Johnson. Their seeker was a fourth year Gryffindor who was very competitive but he had to be on guard against Harry Potter of Hufflepuff. Wood stopped a lot of the shots that came his way and Harry even helped his teammates with the quaffle and assisted in some goals, but it was Gryffindor's chasers of Bell, Spinnet and Johnson who were unstoppable and scored eight between them to give Gryffindor a lead of 80-20. The scorers for Hufflepuff were Cedric and Harry surprised the crowd and scored. Seekers were allowed to assist and score on occasion and Harry found a moment to score and took the chance much to the delight of the crowd, especially Susan and Hannah.

Hufflepuff slowly got back and the score was 90-50 in favour of Gryffindor. However, Harry's broom started playing up and had a mind of its own, as if trying to make him fall off it. He had gotten a Nimbus 2000, the fastest broom currently, thanks to his godmother professor McGonagall after he got onto the Puffs team. The crowd gasped as Harry was struggling with his broom. He desperately tried to hold on and wanted to know who was jinxing his broom. Hannah and Susan were terrified as Harry almost fell off his broom and Susan said, "What's going on with Harry's broom?"

Hannah said, "I don't know, but surely it's not Gryffindor. They look worried as well." She looked at the professors' stand for Dumbledore to step in, but noticed Quirrell fixing his eyes on Harry and muttering. She gasped and said to her girlfriend, "Look Sue, Quirrell is jinxing Harry's broom."

Susan looked and saw that Quirrell indeed was muttering and Snape was holding his hands together trying to mutter a counter-curse. "That stuttering bastard! I'll get him!" She was so powerful when she had her fiery temper.

Hannah said, "Let me take care of it Sue, otherwise you might end up killing him."

"Good riddance to him I say, he hasn't been helpful at all in defence and he even fainted forward when he came running on Halloween saying that the troll was in the dungeon. I think he let that bloody thing out."

Hannah thought about it but looked to the problem at hand. "I know a way to get to the stand. He saved me from the troll after all, so I want to help him."

Susan hugged her and said, "Good luck Han."

Hannah ran from the crowd and made her way to the professors' stand. She saw where Quirrell was sitting and uttered a spell to cast his robes on fire. The professors smelled something funny and looked at Quirrell's robes. They all yelled, "FIRE! YOUR ROBES ARE ON FIRE!" The man with the turban was pushed and he went down and lost eye contact with Harry, thus enabling him to get back on his broom.

Lee Jordan, the commentator, was watching with excitement and said, "WELL THE ACTION IS NOT ONLY ON THE PITCH BUT THE PROFESSORS ALL SEEMED TO BE IN ACTION OF THEIR OWN AS WELL! PROFESSOR QUIRRELL'S ROBES SOMEHOW CAUGHT FIRE AND HARRY POTTER IS NOW ON HIS BROOM AND HAS SEEN THE SNITCH!"

Quirrell was so angry when he came to, but dared not attempt to jinx Harry's broom. The score was 120-90 in favour of Gryffindor, and Harry sped on his broom to catch the snitch. The Gryffindor seeker caught on to Harry but was no match for him and his flying skills. Harry raced to the snitch and made as if he was about to fall off, and the Gryffindor seeker retreated when he saw this. Harry grinned and as he was closer to the snitch, he stood up on his broom and held his right hand. He then leaned forward and jumped, catching the snitch in his right hand and ending the match. Lee Jordan yelled through the microphone, "HARRY POTTER HAS GOTTEN THE SNITCH AND EARNED ANOTHER 150 POINTS FOR HUFFLEPUFF! DAMN!"

Madam Hooch confirmed that Harry had indeed caught the snitch and blew her whistle. "Hufflepuff wins!" The crowd erupted at Harry's talent, skills and his display in catching the snitch and knew that there would be a young professional in years to come. The professors cheered and Sprout clapped her hands and was rapt. Professor McGonagall congratulated the Herbology professor all in good spirits, and the players shook hands with each other. The Puffs all surrounded each other and clapped each other on the back, and congratulated their new seeker on an outstanding performance.

As the Puffs made their way to the castle, Susan and Hannah came running to Harry and hugged him fiercely, kissing him on the cheek. Susan said, "We were so worried about you Harry. Hannah found out that Quirrell was jinxing your broom."

"That bloody bastard!" he said angrily. "Why would he do that?"

"That's a good question," said Hannah.

Susan chipped in, "So when Hannah found out, she raced to the professors' stand and set Quirrell's robes on fire."

The three of them howled in laughter and Harry said, "That's how the bastard's robes caught fire! Thanks for saving me Hannah, I love you." He pecked her on the lips, causing her to blush crimson. He did the same to Susan causing her to blush even more furiously. "What? You're my girlfriends now, remember?"

Susan laughed and Hannah said, "It's just too quick Harry, but we loved that kiss. Can we do it for longer?"

The three of them went back to the Puffs common room and had a half hour make out session. Harry kissed both of his girlfriends and they even opened their mouths for his tongue to enter. The girls moaned in delight at the kissing and there was a lot of tongue and saliva swapping between the three of them. Harry got excited when Susan and Hannah started to French-kiss, their tongues duelling into their mouths. They all felt each other while kissing. The girls loved the feeling of Harry touching their boobs and running his hands across their chest. They were just starting to bud and the touching and petting got him excited. Harry loved how the girls tasted and they loved his mouth on their mouths. He sucked their tongues as well, and they sucked his. They used the couch where Harry was on his back, and the girls were on top of him kissing him madly and passionately. He then got on top of them and kissed them, and at one stage, they were engaged in a very cool three-way kiss. Harry loved the two tongues on his tongue. He had done it with Stacey and Lauren, and now this was his second set of two girlfriends that he could do it with.

When the kissing was over, Susan said, "That was fantastic. I really do hope your girlfriends don't mind sharing."

"I'll write to them," he said.

Soon after, the rest of the Puffs came into the common room and started to party in celebrating their win against Gryffindor. They knew that this would be a long season as they have yet to play Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Ravenclaw was more powerful, but the Puffs want to party and think about it another time. Ernie and Justin were talking with Harry, and Cedric joined in the conversation as well. They congratulated him on his brilliant effort and Cedric said, "Yeah Harry, we were surprised that you even scored."

"You could make a good chaser too Harry," said Ernie.

"Thanks guys," he replied. "It was tough out there."

"Did you find out what happened to your broom?" asked Tonks after she hugged Harry.

"It was that bastard Quirrell, but Hannah found that out."

"Shit!" said Tonks. "I know he's way off, but surely he wouldn't dare try something like that?"

"Why would he do this?" asked Cedric.

"I don't know," Harry said. "He must be up to something. Listen guys, the other day, I got lost when the stairway changed, and it took me on the third floor corridor. When I opened a door, I found a three-headed dog there. It's obviously guarding something, and I think it's something that Quirrell wants. Why do you think he let that troll out on Halloween?"

"WHAT?!" said a surprised Tonks. "What would Dumbles have under the school to guard?" Turning to Harry, she said, "I don't blame you for going there Harry, but please be careful next time. By the way, you are thinking too much into this Quirrell issue. He probably doesn't have the balls to pull off what he wants."

"Ok Tonks, I'll be careful." He made a mental note to watch out for Quirrell.

He called his snake and she came out hissing, "What'sss up young massster?"

"Sssylvie, can you watch out for thisss Quirrell fellow? He isss the one with the purple turban on hisss head."

"Of courssse youngling, I will watch him."

He gave her some food and Sylvie curled around him. They enjoyed a conversation, but a few of the Puffs were afraid at all the hissing. Harry said, "Don't be scared, she won't bite you. She already likes Susan and Hannah, and my other friends."

Slowly, some of the other Puffs, including Tonks, got to like Sylvie and accepted that she would help Harry and watch out for any suspicious activity among some professors.

Harry was relieved when classes were over for the day. He spent time with Susan and Hannah and later they went to their study group to catch up on some work. The group was now a closely knit group and the members were friendly with each other. Daphne Greengrass became friendlier with Harry, Susan and Hannah and Tracey Davis likewise became fast friends with them. The two pretty snakes liked Harry and had gotten to know him more. He told the group of his familiar and introduced her to them. They were all shocked at first, except for Susan and Hannah, but Sylvie, Harry's familiar was laughing with them and winking at them (don't ask me how snakes can laugh because I have no idea). They soon got the hang of it and played with Sylvie. She liked the group and made it known to Harry. He translated to them that the snake liked them, especially the pretty girls. This got a huge blush from all of the girls. However, this was study time, and there will be occasions for them to talk with Harry and Sylvie. Hermione Granger from Ravenclaw was becoming friends with Harry, but not as quickly as some others like Su Li and Padma Patil. Of course, Daphne and Tracey became best friends with Harry and his two girlfriends, and they would often chat with one another outside of the study group, and out of the classroom. This action earned points for the houses involved.

Harry wrote a letter to his two girlfriends back in Surrey. It read:

Dearest Stacey and Lauren,

I missed you both so much. I am having fun here, and just played my first game of Quidditch. This is a wizard sport where we fly with a broomstick. It's a bit more complicated than football but I am a seeker on my house team. We won our first game, but I will tell you both all about it when you come on the Christmas holidays. By the way, you know Susan and Hannah, the two girls we met before I started school? Well, to cut a long story short they too are my girlfriends.

I saved Susan from a faulty broom in flying lessons and saved Hannah from a huge troll that was sent loose by one of our idiot professors. Hannah also saved me from that idiot professor who was jinxing my broom during the game. You will love them too. They both said that they would like to share, but if you don't want to share then it's up to you.

By the way, you are both coming on the 22nd of December. Professor McGonagall will pick you up from either Stacey or Lauren's place, but you need to decide and reply to me.

I can't wait to see you both and introduce you to my friends.

Your lover

Harry Potter

Harry called his owl Hedwig and said, "Here you go girl, send it to Stacey and Lauren in Surrey." The owl hooted and flew away.

Harry was spending more time with Susan and Hannah and together, the three of them spent most of their free time in snogging sessions. They kissed each other passionately and fondled each other, but they also did their work and study together. They were fast becoming Hufflepuff's Golden Trio. They excelled in their classes, and Harry excelled in potions with the help of one of his best friends – Daphne Greengrass. The two of them were paired together and it seems that they would be together in the class for the rest of the term working on tasks that professor greasy hair gave them. The professor in question was surprised that the two worked well together and gave them equal points for cooperation and finishing their potion to perfection. After the potions class, Daphne took Harry aside and said, "I admired your performance in Quidditch the other day Harry, you are quite the seeker."

"Thanks Daph."

Daphne blushed deeply and opened her mouth in shock. She composed herself and said, "You know, if anyone else other than Tracey called me that I would hex them to bits, but I will allow you to call me that only in private, ok?"

"Ok Daphne, I didn't mean to get you angry."

"I'm not angry at you Harry, it just took me by surprise. I admire you and your loyalty to your friends. I am honoured to be one of your best friends."

"Me too Daph, I'm glad to have pretty snakes for my friends." Daphne blushed and smiled at this, remembering the time she and Tracey spent with Harry, his girlfriends and his snake familiar. This came as a shock to the Slytherin girls but they were happy for Harry. They both parted ways and went back to their common rooms.

That evening, Harry received a letter from Hedwig and he knew it was from his two little girlfriends. He read the letter.

Dearest Harry,

We are so glad that you are having fun at your school. We will be at Stacey's house on the 22nd of December so that professor McGonagall can pick us up, so you can tell her that. We know Susan and Hannah and are glad that you saved their lives. We want to get to know them and we don't have a problem sharing you with them. In fact, we too want to have them as our girlfriends, as we remember you telling us that they do some girl play with each other. We can't wait to see you. Say hi to professor McGonagall and Susan and Hannah. Things are so quiet without you here, but our parents say hi to you and want to see you next summer.

Your girlfriends

Stacey and Lauren

Harry smiled and was thinking about the good times he shared with his two muggle girlfriends. He wondered if they could be enrolled at Hogwarts next year and made a note to ask professor McGonagall and Dumbledore.

He showed the note to Susan and Hannah the next day and they smiled and agreed to share and have fun with each other. He went to his godmother after transfiguration class and told her about Stacey and Lauren, that they will be at Stacey's place on the 22nd of December. McGonagall said, "Not to worry Harry, I will be there to pick them up. Thank you for letting me know."

"Professor, I have one more question."

"Yes Harry?"

"Is it possible for Stacey and Lauren to attend Hogwarts next year without having to learn magic?"

McGonagall frowned and said, "I'm not sure. I know your intentions are good Harry, but it is up to the headmaster. If he agrees, then they can attend without learning magic. But what is the purpose of attending without learning magic? They will be required to attend the classes. You can speak to professor Dumbledore about this."

"Thanks professor."

He left and made his way to Dumbledore's office. Before reaching the gargoyle, the man in question appeared and said, "Harry my boy, how are you?"

"Good thanks sir. Actually, I wanted to ask you something."

"Of course Harry, go ahead."

"Can Stacey and Lauren, my two girlfriends in Surrey, attend Hogwarts next year to learn magic?"

"Hmmm, that is difficult for me to answer on the spot Harry, but if they and their parents agree and allow them to come, then I don't see why not. I will think about it and answer you after the holiday period. They will come won't they?" At Harry's nod, he continued, "Perhaps if they don't like Hogwarts, then there is no decision to be made, but if they like it here, then we may come to an arrangement, but after the holiday period I will let you know."

"Ok, thank you sir."

After parting ways, Harry was glad that his girlfriends will be visiting Hogwarts and perhaps attending next year. He didn't tell anyone yet because there was no conformation. Over the next weeks, Harry, Susan and Hannah were very close to each other, but he also had Ernie and Justin as good friends. Tonks, the seventh year prefect, had also gotten to know him and she really liked his personality and attitude to things. They spent some time together as well with Tonks helping him with difficult work and giving him pointers with his girlfriends, making him blush furiously. Tonks actually loved the boy and grew very fond of him.

A/N: Here's the end of the chapter. Hope you enjoyed the Quidditch action.

I will have Harry inherit the Cloak of Invisibility next chapter, and there he will learn about the philosopher's stone, but NOT through Hermione.

In my starting note, I mentioned that Susan and Hannah will be his nomber one and two lovers, but actually it will be his two cute muggle girlfriends, as they were his first ever friends and girlfriends. However, they will all be equal in his eyes. Stay tuned for next chapter, and please keep the reviews coming. I don't mind constructive reviews, but I DO NOT want flaming, as many other authors do not appreciate any flaming either. Thanks and enjoy.

Also, I am thinking of making Harry Lord Potter and emancipating him before second year, as he is the last living Potter. Is this too early? SHould I wait a few more years?

Finally, a special thank-you to Toaneo07 Ver2.0 for being review number 100! Keep the reviews coming readers, great job so far.
