Chapter 8 the New Qudditch captain
As Harry walked down to the great hall for dinner he almost fell over as Fred and George Weasely popped out form behind a corner.
"Harry!" they yelled
"Er, what's up?" said Harry
"Emergency Qudditch meeting! Now!" yelled yells grabbing him and running down the hall.
Harry gave a Ron and Hermione a "I don't know" look as he sped down the hall with Fred and George.
"Sorry Harry, only time we could get everybody together." Said Fred
"It's ok." Said Harry following Fred and George into an empty classroom. Professor McGonagall was sitting on the desk.
"Good evening Harry." She said
"Oh hi professor." Said Harry grabbing a set next to Alicia. Professor McGonagall stood up.
"As well all know the Qudditch season is coming upon us" she said. "And with Wood gone we don't have a Keeper or a captain."
"I will let you chose a new captain amongst your selves, but inform me later with how you will go about getting a keeper." She said as she walkout the door.
Everyone sat in silence for a moment before Fred said. "All for Harry to be are new Captain raise your hand"
Everyone raised their hand, and Harry's face burned
"Really? You guys think I would be a good captain?" asked Harry delighted
"Yeah Harry!" said Fred and George
"Absolutely!" added in Alicia and Katie.
"Alright then" said Harry still bright red "but what about a keeper?"
"Hmmm…."said George
Everyone's heads drooped but then Alicia perked up.
"How about we have a try-out!" she said
Everyone looked at Harry to see what his opinion was.
"That's a great idea Alicia!" said Harry. Just like Harry Alicia turned bright red looking very pleased with her self.
"Ok then." Said Fred "But when?"
"How about next week?" said Harry "We could put signs up in the Gryffindor common room."
Everybody nodded. "Ok then next week it is-Captain!" said Fred and George.
"Ok well I guess I'll go tell Professor McGonagall." Said Harry getting up out of his seat. Everyone walked out of the classroom as Harry turned the Corner to go tell Professor McGonagall.

As Harry walked down the stairs, hoping there was some food left in the great hall his conversation with Professor McGonagall still repeating in his mind.
"Not surprised Potter you are one of the best players we've had in a lone time" she said once he had told her he was voted captain
"Well Professor I .." he begin to say
"Ok well I make some signs to put in the common room- better get to dinner" she said scooting him towards the room
So Harry had no choose but to go down and eat-not that he didn't want to.
As Harry walked in to the hall Cho caught his eye and he walked to over to her, this time kissing her on the lips. He broke it before on of the teachers saw them and then said
"What's up?"
She was blushing slightly, but said "Fine!"
He smiled at her.
"Good, guess what?" he said sitting down next to her
"What?" she said leaning in to him.
"I am now the Gryffindor Captain!" he said
"Wow Harry that's great!!" she said hugging him. "But Ravenclaw's still gonna beat ya this year!"
"Oh! No way!" he said teasingly
"Yes way!"
"No way!"
"Potter what are you doing over here..?" asked Snape
"Nothing, talking to Cho about Qudditch." He said
"You seem to be doing a little more than that!" He said. Harry looked at Cho apologetically and then went to the Gryffindor table.
"Nice to see you." Said Hermione
Harry sat down. "Guess what!" he said getting Ron's and Hermione attention
"What?" they both asked
"I'm Captain of the Gryffindor Qudditch team!"
Ron's eyes bulged. "Really no way!!! That's so cool Harry!" said Ron
"Congrats" Said Hermione Smiling.
"Hmm that's right, Wood left last year so who's going to be your new keeper?" asked Ron
"Where going to have try-outs." Said Harry helping himself to some turkey and gravy
Ron looked like he was going to pop
"Really!?" he almost yelled.
"Yeah" said Harry looking confused
"So I could try out?" he asked looking at Harry as if he had just handed him a million galleons an a silver platter
"Yeah….."
"BLOODY BRILYENT!" Ron yelled. But just then Hermione tapped Harry
"I think you'll like this more than Qudditch" she said pointing to the head table.
Harry turned around and skidded the table, Dumboldor was in the middle and a few sets down was Lupin.
Harry gasped and rubbed his eyes and flung himself out of his seat towards the head table. Lupin must of saw him because he broke into a huge smile.
"Harry!" he yelled "How nice to see you!"
"Nice to see you!!!!!" he said "Are y-you really gonna- gonna teach defense against dark arts again?!" he almost yelled
"Yup!" said Lupin
"That's great!!!!" yelled Harry now almost bursting with happiness.
Lupin smiled. "I know!" he said leaning down "I was cured, new potion out, I'm not a you-know-what anymore!!!!!!" He said with tears almost leaking out of his eyes.
"Congrats!, well I'll see you tomorrow!" said Harry turning around.
"Ok bye!" said Lupin
Harry walked back to the table and Hermione and Ron smiled
"He's back!!!!" said Harry sitting down again
"We know, found out tonight, couldn't wait to tell you, I was about to go make Ron get you!" said Hermione almost out of breath
Harry looked down at his plate, he didn't feel hungry any more has was too happy, and that had filled him to the top.
