Chapter Five
The term was a few days old, and for Fred and George, very exciting! They loved most of their classes. Fred's favorite was potions, although he detested, the teacher, Professor Snape, and most of the Slytherins. George's favorite was History of Magic. He was probably the only student that liked that class.
"Are you guys going to try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" Lee asked the twins as they headed outside for their first flying lesson.
"Definitely," said Fred, "I want to be one of the beaters."
"I am trying out too," said George, "I want to be either the keeper or a chaser. Are you trying out, Lee?"
Lee's dark skin went scarlet, "I don't think so," he replied, "I um, I cant fly very well."
"That's okay," said George, "we are taking flying lessons."
"Do you fly much?" asked Fred.
"Well," said Lee, "I had a toy broom when I was younger. It was only supposed to go up a foot high though. When I was about eight I outgrew that broom and dad bought me a racing broom. He tried to teach me how to fly on that… but you see I'm sort of scared of heights, and you know…" he trailed off.
Fred was shocked, "So you have never been more than a foot off the ground?! You wouldn't believe what your missing! Flying has got to be the best feeling in the entire world!"
George nudged Fred in the ribs and mouthed the words 'be sensitive'
Fred blushed… "well maybe you'll outgrow your fear of heights."
"I doubt it," Lee muttered, "Once dad realized that I would never be a good flyer on the broom he bought me, he put an engorgement charm on my toy one, and I would fly a little bit higher everyday… But once I got six feet off the ground, I usually fell. Sometimes I would get a little higher than that, but I fell harder as I went higher. I just gave up on ever flying by the time I was ten. I didn't know they would be making us fly at school. Now I wish I didn't give up."
"Don't worry about it," said George, "You are already ahead of the muggle- borns, none of them have ever flown. And we have flying lessons with Hufflepuffs-don't expect them to be too good at it."
"I thought that we had flying lessons with Slytherins" said Fred.
"We were supposed to," said Lee, "but their schedules had to get changed around.
Lee and the twins joined their classmates at the Quidditch field. The field was not new to Fred and George, they had seen it many times when their family went to watch his older brother Charlie play Quidditch. He had been on the Gryffindor team, and many people said he was one of the bests ever. He thought of even playing for the national league.
Madam Hooch, their teacher told them to stick their right hand over the broom and call 'up'
"UP!" everyone shouted.
Fred and George's brooms jumped into their hands. Lee's did the same thing, like a few other students including the Hufflepuff they knew from the boat ride, Cedric Diggory.
Madam Hooch led the students through a few drills, one which included rising ten feet in the air, and than lowering themselves down.
Most of the students did this without any problems at all. Some of the muggle-borns were a little shaky though. The only person with a big issue was Lee. He got nervous and leaned forward a little too much- and he flipped right off! Some of the students laughed good naturedly, and Lee didn't look too embarrassed so it turned out okay.
"Very good for your first lesson!" Madam Hooch told everyone as the lesson ended, "I hope to see all of you at the Quidditch try-outs tomorrow night. To those of you who aren't trying out, I will see you Thursday for our next lesson!"
Fred, George, and Lee turned to go back to the castle for History of Magic.
Katie ran up to them.
Fred groaned, "look whose coming," he said.
George and Lee stifled groans.
"Hello, boys!" she called, "that was a fun lesson. I think I did the best, don't you? I wish I could have brought my broom to school. I cant wait until the try-outs tomorrow. Are you guys trying out?"
The boys kept walking, expecting Katie to start talking, but she actually paused.
"Hello? I asked you guys a question!" she said rather impatiently.
'Probably she hates waiting to hear herself talk again' Fred thought to himself.
George pretended to be confused, "Oh," he said, "your actually going to let us answer you? Normally you don't give us enough time."
Katie frowned, "I wont let you answer if you don't hurry up with it!" she snapped.
"Well than," said George, "I definitely will be trying out." With that he walked away.
"What about you guys?" Katie asked as she sadly watched George's retreating back.
"Yes" said Fred.
"No" said Lee.
They quickly ran to catch up with George.
Katie sighed, and than went to talk to Angelina and Alicia, two other Gryffindors.
"Well," said Fred, "That was probably the best lesson we have had so far."
"The most fun for sure," said George.
"Except for when I flipped off the broom," Lee said glumly.
"Ah, don't worry about that," said George, "it was a brilliant flip."
"Anyway…" said Lee, trying to change the subject, "what is on our quiz for History of Magic today?"
"Ummm…" said Fred… "I'm not sure…"
"Its on you-know-who and Harry Potter," said George.
"oh yeah"
The boys entered the History of Magic classroom and got out their parchment and quills and began the quiz.
A/N Okay, the plot is really starting to unfold starting at this chapter, but it might be hard to notice. I'll just tell you that the whole flying class and Lee being afraid of heights will be important to know for the future chapters. Please read and review, and you will get you name on my story…YaY! Lol! Also please read/review my other stories which are :Voldemort's Capture, and Do you remember Harry Potter. Thanks! Luv yah! Plz r/r!!
