Disclaimer: I din't own Harry Potter..
After Allie and Fred's talk in the common room, Allie tried to make more of an effor to reach out to Harry. She helped him find his way to classes after finding him and Ron hopelessly lost.
She also helped Harry write his essays. After living with Muggles for his whole life, Harry had difficulty adjusting to writing with a quill. Allie found this amusing, but gave him pointers, nonetheless.
The two siblings also started eating meals together. At first, they attracted a lot of attention, since they were the famous Potters. People started to get used to them though and they stopped attracting so many stares.
Draco, Allie noticed, started to leave them alone. Sure, he still sneered at them, but Malfoy was much less vocal when they were around.
...…...
Allie sat in History of Magic, bored out of her mind. Professor Binns was droning on about giant law of 1762. Allie used to think she like history, until she came to Hogwarts and had Binns as a teacher.
Allie stared out the window, watching the first years at their first flying lessons. Like last year, there was a range of skill levels among the students.
Allie hoped Harry was skilled on the broom. Her father was a skilled seeker and she was one or the team's chasers. It was in their blood.
She watched Neville rocket into the air and fall off. She laughed silently to herself. Sometimes she doubted if Neville really was a wizard. Allie knew that sounded mean but the child was hopeless.
Lost in thought, Allie only half watched what was going on outside. She saw two kids fly into the air, but didn't pay attention to who they were. It wasn't until Draco threw the round object that Allie realized Harry was the other person in the air.
She watched her brother dive and gasped involuntarily. Most of the students looked up, but Professor Binns droned on.
Allie watched McGonagall run out and yell something. From the way Harry stepped forward, she assumed it was at Harry.
Allie stood up. "Professor? I don't feel good, I need to leave." Binns gave no indication he heard her, but Allie left the room anyways.
She ran down to the entrance hall where Harry and McGonagall were walking in. "Professor! It wasn't his fault! I swear! It was Draco -"
"Ms. Potter I am we'll aware of who is to blame, I don't believe anyone asked you," McGonagall said coolly. "What I am not aware of is your reason for not being in class."
"Oh... Ummm... Well..."
"I see. Normally I would deduct points for skipping class, but as this is a matter that involves your brother, I will let you stay. Besides, I know you Potters and you wouldn't go back to class if I made you.
Allie smiled weakly. "Thanks professor." Harry gave her a strange look that she couldn't interpret. Was he glad she was there? Or angry?
The two Potters followed McGonagall up the stairs to Quirrell's classroom.
"May I borrow Wood?"
"Wood? Oh, Wood! She wanted to see Oliver Wood. Then this must have something to do with Quidditch," Allie thought to herself.
Sure enough, Allie was right. Oliver came out and McGonagall announced she wanted Harry to be the new seeker. Allie could tell Harry was confused.
"It's a position on the Quidditch team," she explained. "The seeker catches the snitch - a little winged ball - to end the game."
"You're built just right for a seeker," Oliver said studying Harry. "I'll show you the ropes tonight, how does that sound?"
"Umm... Yeah. Thought sounds good." Harry said. Allie could tell he was nervous.
She decided to invite herself to the practice, maybe t would make him feel better. "I'll come too. Professor, what are we going to do about a broom?"
"I am sure something can be arranged. Now please head back to class, all of you."
"Oh Harry, this is awesome! Your like the youngest seeker in a century!" Allie said before walking back to class.
...…...
Allie spent the rest of the day gushing about how her little brother was the new seeker. She was so proud of him and glad for herself too. Here was something they could bond over. Allie and Harry led totally different lives and it was hard sometimes to come up with topics to talk about.
Harry and Allie were walking down the stairs to go to practice when Draco stopped them in the hallway.
"Still here Potter? Or are you on your way out?"
"Yep, as a matter of fact we are leaving right now," said Allie.
Draco looked smug, but surprised at allie's answer.
"We are headed outside, where we are having Quidditch practice. Thanks to you Malfoy, Harry is the new seeker."
"Wha - wha- he can't be!" Exclaimed Draco. "He was supposed to be kicked out of the school."
"I told you, don't bother us because it won't get you anywhere." Allie then walked past Draco on the stairs and continued outside without another word.
Harry ran to catch up to her. "You don't have to stand up for me! I can do it myself."
"I know Harry, but Draco makes me so mad it's hard not for me to speak up. I'm sorry if that made you mad."
"No that's fine, I just wanted you to know I was capable."
"I know," Allie said.
The two then proceeded to walk to the Quidditch field where Oliver stood waiting for them.
