The next few weeks were very pleasurable for the trio. For once, Draco was trying to avoid them whenever anyone else was around. He turned around when he saw Carly coming towards him. Though Cora and Krystal were still new, they were quickly inducted into the group and soon it was as if they had been at Hogwarts from the very beginning.
For Harry, the Quidditch season had started. It had been very difficult for him after Oliver left. The team had gotten a new keeper in his place; a girl named Bianca Williams, who was very good. Fred and George had spilt up the job as the captain. But now, since Harry was the only person left, he was the captain and Professor McGonagall was bringing in new people for the team nearly by the day. There was still one more space to fill though and that was for a chaser. It seemed as though there was no one else in the school that wanted to or were good enough to go for the team. Harry was getting impatient.
Most of the male students had become quite smitten with Professor Botev, but none of them were like Draco. He spent the entire class gawking at her and even (when he had the chance) attempting to flirt with her. Though Ron and Harry did think their new professor was attractive, they never stopped making fun of Draco. Carly had an even better time humiliating him in front of crowds. He tried to make comebacks, but they never worked or he stopped before it even came out.
"This is driving me crazy! If the team doesn't get a new chaser, we'll never be able to play against Ravenclaw next week!" Harry cried one evening in the Great Hall at dinner.
"What about Carly? I heard she was pretty good in her day."
"Don't be stupid Hermione, you know Carly's terrified of flying." Ron snapped.
"Sorry. Harry, isn't there one more person that Professor McGonagall is bringing today?"
"No and yes. There is going to be one new person, but for some reason, Madame Hooch is bringing him."
"That's odd. Madame Hooch doesn't normally care about whose on the teams."
"Well, she seemed pretty enthusiastic about this person."
"Well, then, you don't want to miss him, now do you?" Ron said, "You should get going."
"You're right. I'll see you guys later." Harry said, standing up. Before he could anywhere, the sudden rush of wings told him that the mail was there.
Hedwig landed on Harry's shoulder and he untied the small note on her leg.
Harry,
Hi! If it's at all possible, could you meet me at the entrance doors this evening at seven thirty? I have a surprise that you might appreciate very much.
Tell Ron, Hermione, Krystal and Cora that they can
come as well if they wish. I'm subbing for Snape in Potions today, lucky you. He caught the flu. See you there!
Carly
Harry nodded, rolled up the parchment, placed it in his pocket and headed for the Quidditch field. As he got outside, he checked the weather. It was cloudy and the sun was just barely peaking through a small space in the clouds. When he got to the field, he saw that the rest of the team was there. The two beaters who were ironically twins: Anthony and Andre Landers, the current chasers: Darren Roberts and Ella West, their keeper: Bianca Williams and himself, the seeker.
"Hello captain!" Anthony and Andre said in unison. They were fourth years and thought that getting everyone confused was one big game.
"Hello."
"So what's the deal with this new person?" Bianca asked, "I thought Professor McGonagall drained the school looking for a replacement."
"Trust me, she did."
"Then where'd she find this one?"
"She didn't. Madame Hooch did."
"This oughta be good." Darren chimed in. Darren was a fifth year who reminded Harry very much of his previous captain, Oliver.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
Darren smirked, "Do you remember the last three disasters Hooch brought in?"
"He's right Colonel, all the last recruits that General Hooch brought were complete wrecks." Ella said. Though most people thought she was trying to be funny, she always talked like that. She was muggle born and her father was in the army. Harry was the Colonel, Bianca was the Major, Anthony and Andre were Lieutenants and Darren and she were Sergeants. She was in her second year.
"Just give this person a shot, you guys. This could be our break."
"Sure, whatever." Darren replied, leaning against the stands.
"I don't think that it'll much different than the other three." Bianca stated.
"I wonder if it's a girl." Anthony said.
"I'm sure you're wondering about a lot more if it is a girl." Andre taunted.
Bianca and Ella turned to the twins and scowled. They backed away immediately.
"I will try my hardest, Sir." Ella said, saluting.
"At ease, Ella, at ease."
"Yes, Sir!"
At that moment, Madame Hooch walked in the field accompanied by a person that had become very familiar to him from the first time he had met her. And it was none other than-
"Krystal!"
"Hello Harry."
"Everyone, this is my niece from America, Krystal Hart." Madame Hooch explained.
"I didn't know that you played Quidditch!" Harry exclaimed
"Neither did I. I just like riding a broomstick."
"Well, let's see then."
"Alright." Krystal replied mounting her broomstick and kicking off. To Harry's surprise and utter pleasure, she was amazing. It looked as if she became part of the air. Her movements were so precise and her riding was very smooth. She was incredible.
"So? What do you think?" Harry asked, turning to the rest of the team.
They could barely answer, they were in utter shock and amazement. Finally Darren turned to him, "Wow."
"Will she work?"
"Are you kidding? With her flying, we'd be unbeatable!"
"I'll take that as a yes." Harry said laughing.
Krystal landed and headed towards Harry, "So? How'd I do?"
Harry smiled and pointed at the rest of the team, "I think you're in."
