The Love of the Game

Chapter 4: What the…

Later that day, Harry decided that he should go ask Dumbledore about establishing a Hogwarts basketball team. Harry walked to Dumbledore's office, and on the way, he saw Malfoy babbling on and on about bathrooms. (Yes. You heard correct. Bathrooms.) Harry paid him no mind, as he was talking about Basketball.

As he walked in to Dumbledore's office, he caught Dumbledore feeding Fawkes some Yorkshire pudding.

"Hello, Harry. How are you, today?"

I'm fine. Could Hogwarts get a basketball team?" Harry blurted out.

" Basketball? Honestly Harry. Do you really think that anyone would try out for Basketball? Most of the students wouldn't have even heard about basketball."

I could teach them. I could get a point guard, and a Center…"

Ok, Harry. We can establish a Basketball team, but it is your responsibility to find players, teach them the game, provide the uniforms, and find time for lessons on your own time." said Dumbledore, peering over his half-moon spectacles at Harry.

" Yes, Yes, YES!" said Harry " We've got a b-ball team! Thanks Professor."

" You're Welcome, Harry. Just take care of your responsibilities."

"Whatever," said Harry as he bolted out of the door.

Harry got Dean to make him a sign to post up for the basketball auditions. This took about an hour, since Dean kept drawing pictures of girls, instead of basketballs. After a wile, Harry went and tacked the sign on the great Hall door.

Harry went and got his things to get ready to hold the auditions.
