Chapter 16 new team
As they walked to transfiguration class, olliver wood, captain of hogwarts, although he's 19, walked up to Harry. "Hey Harry. today after lunch is quidditch practice. Hey Avalon. how are you?" wood asked. "Fine." Avalon replied nodding her head a bit. "Heard about what happened with the demonters. Ok?" wood asked. "Yea. I'm ok. Little shakened." Avalon faded off. "Well. as long as your ok. Anyways, since most of the players are out of hogwarts, we need to do some tryouts. Have anyone in particular?" wood asked. "howa bout Ron, hermione, and Avalon?" Harry shrugged. "Would you guys like to try out?" wood asked. "Sure." Ron and Avalon said together. "no thanks. I have lots of studying to do, I don't have time." hermione said. "That's ok hermione. well, tryouts are today. See ya'll on the field." Wood said as he walked in to talk to mcgonagal.
"He knows my name." Hermione whispered. "He knows mine too. so?" Avalon asked. "Never mind." Hermione hissed. They all sat down on desks as professor Mcgonagal walked away from wood and looked at the class. "Welcome class. Today, we will be turning dogs into cats and back again----"
Harry stopped listening to professor McGonagal as soon as he looked out the window. He started to see something silver in the forest and it looked nothing like a unicorn he saw one time. but it quickly disappeared. He soon heard a voice call out. "blood, death, bones. Need, need, need. Must find. must kill one kind. Avalon. must kill to get to Harry." it said darkly. Harry jumped. He looked around. Obviously, no one heard it. So Harry began to think that it was a snake, since he was a parcel tongue, able to hear snakes. Harry began to forget about it as professor mcgonagal began to look down upon Harry yelling at him to pay attention. She slapped her wand on his desk. "Mr. Potter! Did you hear a word I said?" she asked sternly. "no. ma'am." Harry replied thinking. "Pay attention potter. This may not be very important now. But soon it will be." Professor mcgonagal said as she walked to the board again.
After class, they went to lunch. They all ate quickly, for they were very interested in trying out for quidditch. They walked to the huge quidditch field to greet wood flying around on a nimbus 2000. "Harry! Great news. A secret admirer as sent the whole team nimbus 2000's. they aren't as great as the firebolts, but it's a GREAT start." Wood said excitedly. "Great." Harry said smiling. "ok. So, you two huh? Do you know what you wanna be?" wood asked. They both shook their heads. "ok. There's 2 beaters, 3 chaser, and 1 keeper available. The seeker is taken." Wood said looking at Harry. "ok then. You can both hop on a broom, and lets see what you can do. "I say Ron and Avalon should be beaters." Hermione called from her book. "And why is that hermione?" wood asked smiling. "Because. Something is after Harry, what greater place to kill him than on the field. And what greater people to protect him than his best friend and girlfriend?" hermione asked.
"Girl friend?" Harry and Avalon asked together. "YEA! You both look it!" hermione snapped. "I can do with a beater." Ron shrugged. "Yea. Me too." Avalon smiled. "Well let's find out." Wood said. "Ok. Fly up there, and I'll hit a bludger to you, and. where is she?" wood asked looking around. "Who?" Harry asked. "Madam hooch. She was going to be the practice." Wood explained. "I can." Harry said hopping on a nimbus and flying up there. "Ok. Ron, you're first." Wood called as he threw a bludger into the air. Ron missed it, so it nearly hit Harry, but he let go of his broom and turned upside down. "sorry Harry." Ron said helping him back into position. "Avalon, your turn." Wood said. Avalon too missed the ball and it as too nearly hit Harry. "oops." Avalon said.
"Ok. that takes that idea away. How bout this, Ron, take this quaffle ball and be a chaser, and Avalon act like the keeper." Wood said as he flew up and grabbed the bludgers handing Ron a quaffle. Ron flew to the goal posted and miss everyone because Avalon hit everyone out. "ok. We may be going somewhere. ok." Wood said smiling at flying up to the goal post. Ron handed wood the ball as wood went to try to take a hit. But he missed. This happened 5 times in a row. "OK! Avalon may be the next keeper. Now Ron, try to get the ball in." wood said handing Ron the quaffle. Ron scored the ball in 5 times. "And Ron MAY be one of the new chasers. Have to check all the other people trying out." Wood said smiling. Suddenly, new people came, and two of them were old.
"Hey wood! Guess what!" one voice called. They all turned. It was the weasley twins. "Fred. George. Hey." Wood called out falling slowly to the ground. "We found the perfect beaters." George said smiling. He slid to the right to reveal neville. "Neville?" hermione asked. "Yea." Fred said trying not to laugh. "Do you really want to be a beater?" wood asked kindly. "No." neville replied. "Sorry guys. Gotta go." Neville said running off. "You know what Fred?" George asked. "What?" Fred asked. "We should of failed last year." he said gloomily. Soon, some new people came. Dean Thomas, seamus Finnegan, and a couple of people Harry didn't really know that well. "Hi." Dean said smiling. "Here for tryouts." He added. "Ok. What do you wanna be?" wood asked. "Me and seamus wanna be beaters." Dean said. "They'll do." Fred said happily. "Lets see what your made of." Wood said. They both hopped on brooms and flew to the sky. after a minute of hitting the bludger away from Harry, they all flew down. "Great job." Wood said smiling.
"And you two?" wood asked looking at two girls. One had sandy blonde hair that curled at her shoulders and one with brown hair in dreadlocks. "We wanna be chasers." The blonde said. "What's your names?" wood asked. "Oh yea. Well, my name is Laney, and this is lorry." The blonde said. "We're 5th years." She added. "ok." Wood said. The girls walked to pick up brooms. The girl with blonde hair winked at Harry, and the other girl smiled at Ron. After 3 minutes, they got all of them past wood, but got none through from Avalon. "Ok. You all are now part of the team." Wood said clapping his hands. "cool." Ron said. His eyes gleaming with happiness. After 5 minutes of sitting down and resting, they all began to practice. While hermione watched as well as read. After an hour of practice, they all went back to the common room for a rest before they had to go to class again. "This will be a interesting year it will." Dean said smiling. "hope we win the cup again." Seamus said happily. "Don't worry Harry, nothing will touch you in the air." Dean said assuring. "Thanks guys." Harry said smiling. After awhile, they all went to class. They all went to history of magic with professor binns talking. Soon, they met up with malfoy. "Heard about the new team." He said sneering. "All wussy wimps they are. And weasley. the chaser. Year right." Malfoy blurted. All of a sudden, malfoy covered his nose. They all looked around. Professor crimson walked up to them and looked stern. "I don't ever want to hear anyone fight or call people names. You hear me?" she asked malfoy. "What'd you do to my nose?" malfoy asked. "No one is a wussy wimp. And I'm sure Ron can be a great chaser. Not that I'm taking sides or anything, but if it was the other way around, it would be the same thing. But only Ron would be hurting." She said coolly.
"I'm sorry for saying that. Now what did you do?" malfoy asked. "nothing. It's called static dear." Professor crimson said. "Say anything again, and it will hurt. For a LONG time. don't mess with people's feelings Mr. Malfoy." professor crimson said as she walked away smiling at Ron. "Don't mess with people's feelings Mr. Malfoy." Malfoy said mocking professor crimson. "Blimey old hag." He added turning around. "Especially me." Professor crimson said as she stood in front of malfoy. "Whoa. How did she.?" Ron asked looking from to malfoy to behind himself. Malfoy screamed as he, followed by crabbe and goyle ran off. Professor crimson bowed to Harry, Ron, Avalon, and hermione and made her way to a gargoyle saying something and walking in. "Where does that lead to?" Ron asked. "Dumbledore's office." Harry said as they turned to another hall. "I can't wait till next practice." Ron said excitedly.
As they walked to transfiguration class, olliver wood, captain of hogwarts, although he's 19, walked up to Harry. "Hey Harry. today after lunch is quidditch practice.
