Harry Potter and the
Mysterious New Magic Part IV
A/N: Hello again!! Thank you all for the
wonderful reviews (well most of them anyway) and thank you all for the support. I know
that I was very well not granted with the gift to write, but I do enjoy it. Anyways, if
you read on, you can tell that my chapter names are kinda lame. I have unfortunately, run
out of good chapter names. If you have a chapter name that you think may be helpful, then
please email it to me.
On with the story!!
Chapter 16: The Charms Lesson
The next morning, after breakfast, Ron
and Harry were entering Charms, when they saw Hermione reading in the front row, while
Madeline sat curled up in a ball in the back of the room.
"Class will begin, now."
Professor Flitwick squeaked.
Everyone settled down as after Professor
Flitwick called out the attendance.
"Today, we will be learning some
charms that change your outer appearance. The Hair Coloring charm and the Eye Changing
charm. Would anyone like to volunteer?"
Nobody raised his or her hands.
"Very well then, I shall have to
choose." He looked around the classroom. "Madeline, my dear, you have been quiet
all year, please step down to show everyone the new charms."
When Madeline settled up in front of the
class, Professor Flitwick called out, "Colorus Pejorious"(A/N: El Pejo in
Spanish is Hair) and instantly, Madeline's hair turned green.
"Now in order for the charm to
work, you must think of a certain color to replace their old hair color or they will wind
up with a bald head."
Professor Flitwick said the charm once
again and Madeline was hairless.
"You see? Now everybody get into
pairs and practice the charm of each other."
After Harry had changed Ron's hair
purple and Ron changed Harry's hair blonde, they noticed Professor Flitwick nowhere
up in the front of the classroom. They looked around and found him (A/N: I think itz a
him) standing quietly in front of Hermione and Madeline.
"Colorus Ojoious" (A/N: El Ojo
in Spanish, in case you haven't figured it out yet, means eye) and Hermione's
eyes turned from brown to violet. "Colorus Ojo" and Madeline's dark brown
eyes turned to a very creepy yellow color.
Hermione laughed heartily and Madeline
just sat there with a poker face. Then Professor Flitwick made a motion toward his wrist,
pointing at it. Madeline got the signal and she and Hermione walked to the back of the
classroom. Hermione opened another classroom door for Madeline and closed the door.
Harry could have sworn her heard a
little pop.
Chapter 17: The Tryouts
In each and every class, Harry kept an
eye on Hermione and Madeline and each and every time, they had gone to the back of the
room and Madeline would disappear.
Harry thought that it was probably due
to the fact that Hermione was Madeline's only friend, besides Cho, and had probably
found out more about her than Harry had. Plus Hermione was very intelligent, so it would
be very easy for her to figure out much more.
"Hey, Harry!" Ron yelled.
"Hmm?" Asked Harry.
"Could you help me practice for the
tryouts tomorrow?"
"Sure."
*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Harry and Ron arrived at the
Quidditch field the Ravenclaw team was already leaving from practice. Harry left Ron for a
minute to go and kiss Cho goodnight.
Ron mounted on his newly bought Nimbus
2001 and took off. It was a few minutes until Harry came up after him.
During their practice, Ron and Harry
bonded further. They talked about their girlfriends, their hopes, their dreams, their
fears and their future.
"So do you think that I'll
actually be able to get on the team?" Ron asked Harry.
"Practice anymore and you'll
beat Wood!" Harry answered truthfully.
"Thanks, man."
"Anytime."
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"THE TRYOUT'S TODAY! THE
TRYOUT'S TODAY! THE TRYOUT'S TODAY!" Ron yelled as soon as he woke up.
"Shut up!" said a muffled
Seamus with his head under his pillow.
The yelling continued as Ron ran around
the boy's dormitories. When he arrived at the common room, the yelling suddenly
stopped. All the boys exchanged puzzled glances and took off toward the common room.
They saw Hermione using her own type of
technique to stop Ron. Her lips. After what seemed like forever, she pulled away from him
and said, "Now shut up before you wake up the whole school."
Ron was lost for words. So he just
simply nodded.
"Good, now lets go and eat
breakfast."
*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day passed quickly enough. When
Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrived at the Quidditch field, there were only 4 other people
that Ron had to compete against.
"Good luck, Sweetie," Hermione
said to Ron as she kissed his cheek. "I'll be up in the stands, watching."
She said as she left.
"Good Luck, Ron." Harry said
as he left toward the Gryffindor Quidditch team and Madame Hooch who was supervising the
tryouts.
Everyone that was trying out, mounted on
his or her brooms, so Ron did the same.
"Okay, now everyone will be put in
a different obstacle course to see their flying capabilities. And after that, you will
each be put in a scrimmage to see what it's like in an actual Quidditch game."
Madame Hooch announced.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Very good tryout, today,
everyone." We shall announce who the new Keeper is tonight at dinner."
Ron walked up to where Hermione and
Harry were now sitting.
"You did a great job, Ron!"
Hermione exclaimed as she gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Yeah, Ron. You did better than all
of those other guys out there!" Harry chimed in.
"Thanks guys, but I really think I
didn't do all that well, I mean did you see that sixth year? He made it look like he
was born to fly."
"Harry and Hermione were right,
though, you did do better than all of rest." Ron heard a booming voice behind him.
(A/N: I told you in the first part that I wasn't going to do accents)
"Hagrid!" they shouted.
"Hello Harry. Ron. Hermione. Would
you like to come and have some tea with me?" Hagrid asked them.
Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each
other and nodded.
"So, has anything interesting
happened during your summer, Harry?" Hagrid asked him as he poured tea into their
teacups.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Wow. I'm glad you're
happy, Harry. You too, Ron and Hermione. I wish you all good luck."
"Well, Hagrid, it's been a
pleasure having tea with you, but we must go to dinner if we want to find out who the new
Keeper is." Hermione stated.
"Alright, then. Goodbye." He
waved out to them.
"We'll come back
tomorrow." Harry called out as they headed toward the Great Hall.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
As they sat down to start eating,
Professor Dumbledore and Madame Hooch stood up and began to speak.
"Madame Hooch will be announcing
who the new recruits are and the Team Captain's names' on the Quidditch
teams."
"For Hufflepuff, Team Captain is
Kenneth Hemingway and the new Seeker is Justin Finch-Fletchy."
"For Slytherin, the new Team
Captain is Draco Malfoy. The new Chasers are Vincent Crabbe and Millicent Bulstrode."
"For Ravenclaw, Team Captain is
Roger Davies (A/N: I'm not sure what year he's in, so I'm assuming that
this year is his last), the new Beater is Terry Boot and the new Keeper is Mandy
Brocklehurst."
"And for Gryffindor, the new Team
Captain is Harry Potter."
Everyone at the Gryffindor table
exploded into applause and Harry could see Cho across the room whistling loudly.
"The new Gryffindor Keeper
is."
Chapter 18: The New Keeper
"Dean Thomas!"
(A/N: You actually think I'm that
evil???)
"Ronald Weasley!"
Ron gasped. He had actually made the
Gryffindor Quidditch team. He was so happy. Hermione gave him a peck on the cheek. Harry
gave him a slap on the back. Fred and George grabbed his legs and held him up high. In
fact he was so happy about the joyous occasion that he fainted.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hello Harry, Hermione.
Congratulations, Ron." Hagrid stated as he let them into his hut.
"Thanks, Hagrid." Ron said
joyfully.
Hagrid brewed up another pot of tea.
They talked eagerly about the upcoming Quidditch match and other various issues at
Hogwarts. When they left Hagrid's cabin, they were too contented and tired to notice
a figure watching them.
Chapter 19: Gryffindor versus Slytherin
The week passed by quickly and soon
enough, the first Quidditch match of the year was coming up.
~*~ Morning of the Match ~*~
"Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod,"
Ron muttered as he got dressed into his Quidditch robes.
Here we go,' Harry thought.
He chuckled to himself when Ron tripped and landed in his locker.
"Don't worry, I'm sure
you'll do just fine." Fred said as he pulled his younger brother out of his own
locker.
"Thanks," Ron mumbled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"And out comes the Gryffindor
Quidditch team with their new Keeper, Ron Weasley!" Lee Jordan shouted.
Ron blushed as every Gryffindor and most
people from other houses (besides Slytherin) were cheering loudly. Hermione was holding up
a banner saying "Red Ron Rules". Cho blew a kiss to Harry as he reached the
Quidditch field.
"Mount your brooms, please,"
A large whistle sounded and everyone
rose in the air and took positions.
Harry looked around to try and find the
snitch. He was very aware that Malfoy was trailing him.
"Hey Potter!"
Harry rolled his eyes as he turned to
face Malfoy.
"What?"
"Heard you and that Ravenclaw got
hooked up." He sneered.
"Yeah, what of it?" Harry
asked.
"I always knew you were dim-witted.
You like the Humble Weasleys', Mudblood Granger, and now you've got one with a
dead boyfriend. Keep things up, I can't wait for the results at the end of the
year."
Harry was livid. He dived toward Malfoy,
but as he dodged, Harry turned and gaped at what he saw behind Malfoy ..
Chapter 20: Surprise at the
Match
It was yet another Derellor, but this
time, it had an orange gem on its mask and scarlet wings. Malfoy saw Harry's
expression and turned around. He regretted doing so, because he screamed momentarily
before fainting. Harry plummeted downward to catch Malfoy before he landed on the earth.
But Harry wasn't quick enough.
Malfoy had a 20-foot start and Harry just couldn't catch up.
He turned to sideswipe Malfoy, but
another Derellor with black wings and a stunning yellow gem, came about and caught him. To
Harry's surprise, the Derellor landed and placed him carefully on the ground.
Many students were screaming and yelling
in horror. They scattered off toward the castle. The Slytherin team was already inside
while Ron, Fred and George yelled at Harry to come inside.
The second Derellor rose and soared
upward toward the original. Harry thought they were going to fly off together just to
threaten Hogwarts and Harry, but instead, they began to attack each other.
Fred and George flew up and grabbed
Harry, nearly dragging him away from the combat. When he reached inside, Cho ran up to him
and they held each other while watching. He noticed many other students and parts of the
faculty were watching too.
"Dear Lord," he heard
Professor McGonagall murmur.
The black-winged Derellor plummeted
downward at a rapid pace until it met the ground with a hard thump.
It arose and flew again as if nothing
happened. The two of them fought harder and harder, higher and higher. Soon they reached
high above the clouds to where no one could see them anymore. Hermione gasped and started
to weep in Ron's arms. Cho continued the same demeanor. Ron and Harry looked at each
other. It seemed the girls knew something that they didn't.
A few moments later a loud, high pitch
shriek came out. The wind speed rapidly picked up and the shriek ended.
A/N: The end of another part!! So sorry
for it taking so long. I had it all outlined, but couldn't exactly find a way to put
it all together. I hope you liked it as much as I liked writing it. This is probably my
most favorite part to write about.
