Chapter 12

Halloween Night

Everything went the way Harry expected it. People were threatening him on how he had better do a good job at coaching. Others, including Malfoy, had made fun of him because of it. Only two students had congratulated him, other than the team, and those two were Ron and Hermione. Also, every time Snape passed by him he chuckled. But that little chuckle then turned into and evil smile, and then he would walk off, like the snob he was.

Hermione also got what she expected. Almost everyone in the school kept coming up to her and asking all sorts of questions about her brother: "Who is he; How old is he; Does he go to this school; and some asked is he available?" She didn't answer any of them though; she didn't want to give away any more information than what she already had. She did think it was funny though, that she would know when Harry was scared to go somewhere, but she wondered why none of her senses worked before this year.

They both tried to act as normal as possible around each other. They felt like the whole school knew they were brother and sister.

It eventually got around to Halloween. Jack-O-Lanterns were flying, and there was no school that day. Harry scheduled practice after lunch, and Hermione and her friends were planning to go and watch them.

After lunch, the only viewers weren't just Hermione and her friends; mostly all the Gryffindors were in the stands to watch how they had been doing. Harry was nervous, he knew why they came. This was the last practice before the Gryffindors first game, and the Gryffindors wanted to decide whether the team was good enough or not.

But after they had started practice, Harry had discovered that they weren't all that bad. The Chasers never dropped the Quaffle, the new Keeper was blocking the Quaffle every time one of the team members threw it, the twins were hacking away at the bludgers, not hitting one person on the team, and Harry caught the Snitch within the first three minutes of practice.

The crowd was pleased. After finally being able to breather again, they slowly left the stadium. The team also quit after a few more practice rounds, Harry thought that they were good enough.

By the time that everyone had left the stadium, it was time for supper. Everyone sat down at the table and watched the food blossom right in front of them. They all began to eat, not knowing what was about to happen.
