Chapter 10- The Last Practice, and Nothing Happens in this Chapter…
Harry walked out of the castle and down to the Quiddich pitch. Oliver was already up, blocking an imaginary Quaffle with the end of his broomstick. The rest of the team would be out in a few minutes, so Harry decided to practice with the snitch while he was waiting. He went in the storage room once again, and this time the box was there, with all four balls in their correct places. He grabbed the Snitch from its tiny compartment and flew up to meet Oliver.
"Hey Harry! You seem to be the only one on time. I see you have the Snitch there, well go on and practice a bit then. I'm just trying some moves." Harry let the golden ball out of his hand and it immediately sped downward and away from him. He dashed after it as it took a sharp turn left, around the goal hoops, and down the pitch to the other side. He was keeping up and caught it within ten seconds. Harry loved his Firebolt.
The rest of the team arrived, and they had a little talk with Wood before starting their practice. Harry continued to chase the Snitch, this time dodging six players and two bludgers. He was still catching it with remarkable time, and knew that Malfoy's old Nimbus was no match for his Firebolt.
"Now Harry, don't get too full of yourself on that fast broom of yours," Wood said with a wink, "because Malfoy could still catch it. Just stay alert, and don't pay attention to the rest of us all that much okay?"
"Wood, I know how to play Quiddich for god's sake! Don't you be getting too full of yourself. You've got the same broom as me, you know." Harry smiled and they broke out laughing. After about an hour, Wood called the end of practice and they made their way back to the common room, now completely ready for a good night's sleep. Harry and Wood were the last to make it in, and they sat by the fire for a while before heading to bed. Oliver couldn't get his mind off the match, so they talked about different moves and techniques that the Slytherins might be using. After a half hour or so they finally made their way to bed.
~yes, this chapter was very boring!! It's just sort of a filler from one exciting event to the next……~
