They decided on a game of football, the girls wanted to play rugby but BJ told them they'd gotten in trouble for playing "such a mean Muggle game." They had to find people who knew what they were doing.
"Herm," Ron suggested while they were looking for teams, "you know how to play, why don't you?"
Hermione looked at the small group that they had assembled and sneered, "I've got homework to do."
"Oh," Harry laughed, "I'm going."
"Harry," Hermione reprimanded, "You've homework to do as well."
"Yeah, so do they, you coming Ron?" Ron turned a shade of crimson, rivaling his hair, "I don't know how to play."
"Not a problem," Angelina joined in, "we'll teach you." With that in mind other people swiftly joined the group.
"Urgh," Sian complained, "Do we really have to take the preps?"
"You mean the non-Muggle-borns?" Hazel asked confused.
"Yeah." BJ added.
"We'll give 'em five minutes tops," Angelina laughed at the fifth and sixth years faces. "The only rule to obey is 'no hands'."
Sian and BJ led the group of twelve down to the Quidditch pitch still lined with soccer boundaries. The field also had the goals. "How many of you are Muggle-born?" Sian asked. Only eight. "Haze, got the ball?" She threw it to Sian. "Alright, this is the ball, none of you are allowed to touch this with your hands got it?"
The four wizards nodded.
"There are only twelve of us, not nearly enough to make a team so we will play with three forwards and two backs, and one Keeper. Only the Keeper is allowed to touch the ball with his hands, but only in the Penalty box, allow me to demonstrate." Sian showed them the Penalty box and the goalie box and the importance of each. She finished just as the twins emerged.
"What are you all doing?" George asked.
"Playing football," Sian called out, "Care to join?"
"Sure," they agreed. "Line up."
On the line Sian and BJ became captains, BJ took the twins and explained the rules. Sian took Hazel and Alicia. BJ took Harry. Sian took Ron. BJ took Angelina. Sian took Dean. BJ took Lee. Sian took Seamus. BJ took Katie. Sian took Ginny. Sian got the low-down on her people. Hazel and Alicia were automatically forwards, they needed a third so they added Dean. Ginny, Ron, and Seamus were made fullbacks, and Seamus volunteered to be the assistant halfback. Sian's team was finished organizing well before BJ's.
They were all set up and BJ gave the go ahead. BJ's team started out with the ball, because they had more wizards and were not as experienced. Angelina passed the ball to BJ who passed it across to Katie, on the far side. Hazel however, intercepted and passed the ball up to Alicia. Alicia then passed it up to Dean who was out on the right wing. George met him and tripped him, stealing the ball, and passed it up to Harry. Harry wanted to be rid of the ball so he nailed it over centerfield, up to Seamus, who passed it up to Alicia. Hazel and Alicia occupied Fred and George, and passed the ball to Dean who scored on the unprepared Lee.
Alicia had the ball at centerfield and crossed it to Hazel, who passed it back to Seamus, who, in turn, knocked it up back up to Alicia, who was fighting with Harry. Dean headed the ball, tripped Fred, and Hazel caught the rebound and George's arm. She trashed George and made a shot on goal. It hit a post and came flying at Alicia, who tried to head it back in. It hit off Lee's out stretched hands and Seamus tried a go at it. It got kicked out of bounds and Harry had to throw it in. Dean headed it at BJ , where Alicia recovered it and Angelina knocked her off her feet. Hazel stole the ball from her and passed it back to Ron and he kicked it to a waiting Sian. Sian cleared the ball to half field and watched them go at it.
They were quite even matched and the wizard team proved to be very good, Sian's team only beat them by one point. They played until lunch and all the Gryffindors had a great time. They talked a lot and had loads of fun.
Afterwards Harry challenged Sian to a game of aerial tag. Mass amounts of people played. Meaning everyone on the Quidditch team. Because Harry suggested the game, it was only fair that he should be "it". He first tagged Katie before she even kicked off. Then Katie snuck up on the twins and tagged Fred, who ended up tagging George. Everyone was chased fruitfully until everybody but Sian had been "it" at least once. That was when the twins and Harry had a small huddle and chased Sian all over the Quidditch pitch. Even the Chasers got in on the action and soon everyone playing was trying to catch Sian. She evaded them all. She dove outside the pitch and pulled a Wronski Feint, causing many of her opponents to fall in the dust. Soon all that were remaining were Harry and the twins.
Sian dove and hurdled every obstacle inside the arena but simply could not shake the boys. She was riding the Lupus, her favorite broom ever, when she got an idea, the boys were flying in a V-pattern, she could fly between the twins and under Harry. Pulling the strangest U-turn, she turned quicker than the boys could tell and shot towards them at all 200mph. Harry was startled and did not which way to turn. He was so unsure that turbulence got the best of him and he clipped the tail of Sian's broom. She spun out and skidded to a stop at the player's entrance, getting bucked off from the force that hit the wall.
