Chapter 5: Up By 90 Points
Harry surprisingly found going back to class joyful. Not only Harry. All the Gryffindors chatted excitedly at the breakfast table in the Great Hall (with all the glass replaced) before their first Defense Against Dark Arts class.
¡§Finally there is a female DADA teacher!¡¨ Hermione was saying.
¡§What was her name again?¡¨ Ron asked
¡§Professor Lockhart.¡¨ Lavender, who was listening in, replied.
¡§Wonder if she¡¦s related to the other Lockhart we got second year!¡¨ said Seamus Finnegan. Whispers and questions spread rapidly around the table.
¡§Do you think she¡¦s nice?¡¨
¡§Hope she¡¦s not like the other Lockhart!¡¨ Harry shuddered at the thought. Professor Lockhart had almost killed him even though not consciously.
¡§Do you think she¡¦s a werewolf?¡¨
¡§Nah a Vampire maybe.¡¨
¡§Or perhaps a goblin?¡¨
Professor Lockhart didn¡¦t turn out to be what everyone guessed. She was a black woman quite tall and a head full of very curly hair. Her eyes seem to shine next to her dark skin. She was a rather cheery and joyful (unlike most of Hogwarts teachers maybe except Dumbledore) Harry noticed as he and the other Gryffindors took their place in the desks. Unfortunately they had to share this class with the Slytherins.
¡§Hello class I¡¦m your new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cassie Lockhart, but please address me as Professor Lockhart. I¡¦m from Africa. I have encountered almost everything from Vampires to Boggarts in my travels around the world but I have yet to encounter a jinxed position. When I heard that Hogwarts have not yet has a DADA teacher who stayed for more than a year I decided to come and see for myself. Now, are there any questions before I start?¡¨ Harry was quite impressed at her little speech. Neville to everyone¡¦s surprise raised his hand and stood up.
¡§Are¡Kare you related to our other DADA teacher Gilderoy Lockhart?¡¨ Neville¡¦s face was white and he was shaking badly. Evidently Neville didn¡¦t like Gilderoy Lockhart very much and was afraid that this was his sister of something. Everyone especially the Slytherins begin to laugh. Hermione was awfully angry and Harry tried hard to hide his smile.
¡§I hope I¡¦m not related to that fiction writer who likes to boast a little too much.¡¨ She gave Neville a kind smile. Something appeared in Neville¡¦s desk ¡V a chocolate frog with a note. Harry was able to see what was written on it. It said ¡¥don¡¦t worry I didn¡¦t poison it¡¦ Neville relaxed a bit and smiled as he unwrapped the chocolate frog. Even if she was related to the other Lockhart she was much nicer.
¡§Now class how many of you has been in works of Dark Magic?¡¨ everyone¡¦s hands shot up, ¡§not including the recent event.¡¨ Hands slowly went down until there was on one left except Harry, Ron and Hermione.
¡§Ah I¡¦ve heard a great deal about you three.¡¨ She smiled again. ¡§Would you like to come up and share it with us?¡¨ Ron and Hermione just stared at her. They clearly didn¡¦t want to.
¡§Professor Lockhart,¡¨ Harry spoke up ¡§I believe everyone had enough knowledge about it and there is no point of retelling the stories.¡¨
¡§A very brave comment Mr.. Potter! With a strong mind like yours and the bravery not wonder you are still alive. 10 points for Gryffindor!¡¨ For a frightening second Harry thought she was going to take off points. Everyone was liking their teacher more and more.
¡§She¡¦s the best teacher next to Lupin!¡¨ Ron said as they walk out of DADA class. Harry agreed with all his heart.
***
¡§Harry! Ron where are you going this early in the day?¡¨ Hermione asked as Harry and Ron climbed through the portrait hole. ¡§It¡¦s Sunday!¡¨
¡§Well you¡¦re up early too yourself! Me and Harry have Quidditch practice.¡¨ Ron explained.
¡§Ron! You are on the team too? Oh! Why didn¡¦t you tell me?¡¨ Hermione exclaimed.
¡§Well he just found out from Wood yesterday. Ron is going to take Wood¡¦s place as the Keeper. Wood is our coach, but he can¡¦t play.¡¨ Said Harry
¡§Yeah with Wood as our coach and Harry as Captain we are going to rock the Slytherins this year!¡¨ Ron exclaimed. Harry¡¦s face turned red.
¡§Ron! They haven¡¦t vote for Captain yet how do you know I¡¦m going to be Captain?¡¨ Harry was really embarrassed.
¡§Well it¡¦s not that hard to tell who everyone is going to vote for!¡¨
¡§Why not let Fred and George be Captain?¡¨ Harry said quickly, ¡§I mean this is their last year and they have more experience than I do and¡K¡¨
¡§What ever. I¡¦m still voting for you!¡¨ They had already reached the Quidditch pit. Everyone else were already there waiting.
¡§Hurry up you two! Everyone has submitted their ballot we are waiting for you two so we can count the votes.¡¨ Wood was waving two sheets of parchment at them as they broke into a run to join the others.
¡§Six votes for Harry Potter!¡¨ Wood announced as they counted up all the ballots, ¡§and One vote for Fred and George Weasley!¡¨ Everyone cheered. Harry blushed. Suddenly flash a little silver bottle with wings appeared. The Lune. The eerie music they heard in the Great Hall and Voldemort¡¦s laughter Flash. Harry was back in the Quidditch pit with the Gryffindor Quidditch team cheering around him.
¡§Oh Harry this is great!¡¨ said Hermione giving Harry a hug.
¡§I told you so!¡¨ said Ron.
¡§Wait¡K I don¡¦t want to be Captain.¡¨ Everyone around him stopped and looked at him.
¡§What do you mean Harry?¡¨ Fred asked.
¡§I¡¦m¡K I¡¦m not as good or experienced as the rest of you and¡K¡¨ Harry blushed, ¡§I think Fred and George would make better Captain than I would.¡¨
¡§Aw thank you Harry, but be serious you do want to be Captain don¡¦t you?¡¨ George patted Harry on the head.
¡§I am serious I don¡¦t want to be Captain.¡¨
¡§Well I suppose we can¡¦t force him.¡¨ Alicia said with much disappointment.
¡§Then who¡¦s going to be Captain?¡¨ Katie sounded a little troubled.
¡§How about the Weasley twins?¡¨ Harry suggested again.
¡§I suppose¡K¡¨ Before Angelina could finish her sentence Fred and George gave her and everyone else on the team a big hug.
¡§Thank you! Thank you all!¡¨ Fred started as George bowed and blew kisses at everyone, ¡§We accept the position as Captains. We promise we will make the best Captains. Sorry Wood, but you know what they say two heads are better than one!¡¨
¡§Not if there is nothing in the heads?¡¨ Draco Malfoy came walking in with the Slytherin team.
¡§Get out pussy cats we are here to practice,¡¨ said Marcus Flint from next to Malfoy.
¡§Ah Flint. I see you didn¡¦t make the English Quidditch team or the job as a flying teacher why are you here?¡¨ Wood said bitterly glaring at Flint.
¡§I am the Slytherin¡¦s team coach. The Gryffindors have one so why shouldn¡¦t we? Now get out. We must practice.¡¨
¡§We booked the pit first!¡¨ Harry said angrily as the Slytherins try to push pass.
¡§Tell them Harry!¡¨ said Fred. All the Gryffindors stood together to block their way. They were determined not to let the Slytherins get the pit.
¡§What are you going to do about it?¡¨ Flint challenged, ¡§You don¡¦t want to lose your job as a teacher no do you?¡¨ Harry could see Wood¡¦s face turning sickening pale. This is Wood¡¦s first job, he cannot get fired and Flint knows it well.
¡§Let¡¦s have a game!¡¨ Harry quickly suggested, ¡§Winners gets the pit for rest of the year any time they want.¡¨ Flint looked shocked. Even Malfoy didn¡¦t say anything. ¡§What are you scared you¡¦d lose to us?¡¨ Harry taunted. The others joined in.
¡§Oh shut up! We will kick your sorry butts!¡¨ Malfoy finally said, ¡§But who is going to¡K¡¨ Before Malfoy had time to finish his sentence Madam Hooch cleared her throat to make herself notice.
¡§I will ref the game.¡¨ Malfoy opened his mouth to object but Flint silenced him. ¡§Alright. Captains you have five minuets to get your team ready.¡¨
¡§Alright everyone.¡¨ Said Fred, ¡§This is the game we have to win.¡¨
¡§And will win.¡¨ George finished, ¡§Everyone let¡¦s get out there and do your best. And kick their butts.¡¨ Everyone cheered and broke out of the huddle.
¡§Harry!¡¨ Wood called as they walk out to the field, ¡§Thanks.¡¨ He smiled gratefully at Harry. ¡§Good luck.¡¨
***
Madam Hooch¡¦s whistle sounded and both teams shot up into the air. Joy and freedom filled Harry. What rush! He loves flying and playing Quidditch. It is what he does best and today he is going to do it better than ever.
The whistle sound didn¡¦t just signal the player to start. It also gathered many spectators. Groups of people made their way out of the castle and soon fill the stands.
¡§This is it. The battle for the Quidditch Pit!¡¨ Lee Jordan said over the crowd¡¦s cheers, ¡§The winners will have the right to the Quidditch pit for the rest of the year!¡¨
Hermione watched from below in a sea of people and deafening cheers. All the spectators¡¦ hearts bears one single wish ¡V for the Gryffindors to Win (Not the Slytherins though)
Harry glide swiftly over the game, avoiding all the Buldgers that come his way and watching. Watching for the snitch. Malfoy was not far behind him stalking Harry like a hungry animal. As soon as Harry dives Malfoy would do the same hoping to snatch the snitch before Harry does. As Ron did a splendid save and passed the Quaffle to Katie who passed it to Alicia and scored on the Slytherins Harry saw a flash of gold. Apparently no one else has seen it. The Gryffindor was up by 90 points, but Harry couldn¡¦t risk going after the snitch with Malfoy tailing him so closely. Then he suddenly remembered the move he had saw at the Word Cup two years ago. Harry sped up and went into a sudden dive. That almost threw Malfoy off his tracks. Harry dived even faster and Malfoy had to strain to keep up. Five feet. Four feet. Three. Two. One. Harry suddenly pulled up one foot away from the ground. Malfoy how ever wasn¡¦t so good. He has gained way too much speed to stop or pull up. The momentum sent him crashing into the ground. Harry flew quickly up and snatched the Golden Snitch right out of the air.
¡§DID YOU ALL SEE THAT? HARRY POTTER JUST PREFORMED A TRICK DIVE ONLY PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS COULD DO AND LOOK WHAT HE¡¦S GOT IN HIS HAND! IT¡¦S THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDORS HAVE WON!¡¨ Lee wasn¡¦t the only one that was excited. Cheers went up louder than bombs all around Harry. His teammates were around him hugging and kissing him as they slowly, in one large group, lowered to the ground.
¡§Oh Harry! Where did you learn to fly like that?¡¨ Fred shouted over the noise as he ruffled Harry¡¦s hair. The girls were beyond words. They were hugging and kissing Harry. Even if he could hardly breathe Harry felt that he couldn¡¦t have been happier in his life. They had won. Now they were in control of the Quidditch Pit.
¡§Harry!¡¨ Wood called out, ¡§The audience wants you! Come on!¡¨ Harry got on his broom and once again lifted into the air. The crowd cheered as the team flew around the stadium. In the air Harry could see Hermione cheering with Neville and other Gryffindors. Above them Hermione has conjure up a banner saying ¡¥We love Harry Potter¡¦ and the multi-colored message would disappear and the next message said ¡¥The Best Quidditch Player Harry Potter¡¦ There were little pictures of Harry swooping on the banner. Harry thought even if he didn¡¦t make it into the English Quidditch Team when he gets out of school he is satisfied. When they finally landed in the middle of the field people gathered all around them. Hermione was the first.
¡§Oh! Harry you are the best out there!¡¨ She wrapped her arms around Harry¡¦s neck and planted a kiss square on his lips. Harry could hear the catcalls, cheers and applause. He felt himself blush, but he didn¡¦t care. He kissed Hermione back and the two locked in a tight embrace for a long time.
The attention was soon turned to Wood who was standing with Mandy Parkinson the new nurse.
¡§Hey Harry!¡¨ said George ¡§Look over there.¡¨ Harry saw what George was gesturing at. Wood was playing with Mandy¡¦s long blond hair as she whispered and giggled into his ears.
¡§Isn¡¦t she beautiful?¡¨ Ron asked Harry with his eyes still plastered to Mandy.
¡§Er¡K yeah she¡¦s beautiful alright.¡¨ Said Harry. He too found it hard to keep his eyes off her.
¡§You two,¡¨ came Hermione¡¦s voice from behind, ¡§should know better than to stare.¡¨ There was a slight hint of jealousy in her voice. Harry turned and smiled at her.
¡§Yes Professor Snape.¡¨ Harry joked as the three of them turned towards the team change room.
¡§Speaking of snap,¡¨ said Ron ¡§He¡¦s not so nasty now¡K I wonder why?¡¨
¡§Trying to impress someone?¡¨ Angelina suggested. The rest of the team has left Wood alone and was walking toward the change room.
¡§Ah! The power of love¡¨ Hermione said dramatically.
¡§I wonder who?¡¨ Harry thought out loud.
¡§The new DADA teacher?¡¨ said Katie fighting to stay standing.
¡§No way!¡¨ said Fred who was also laughing.
¡§Madam Pomfrey?¡¨ guessed George, ¡§Madam Pince? Or is it Madam Hooch?¡¨
¡§Yeah from the way he¡¦s staring at her.¡¨ Alicia said sarcastically. Everyone was laughing so hard they were leaning on each other for support.
¡§SSSHHHH!¡¨ said Angelina who¡¦s still trying hard not to laugh but failing miserably ¡§He¡¦s coming.¡¨ All of them quickly put on their best straight face.
¡§What do you all find so funny?¡¨ Snape glared at the students.
¡§Not¡Knothing sir.¡¨ Said Harry. It was hard to not laugh and speak at the same time. When Snape finally passed they all burst out laughing again.
:)Thank YOU!:)
