I've changed the 2nd chapter so now James would be a seeker. I was sort of
wondering that when I wrote it, because I read it in the 5th book that he
was playing with a golden snitch, it wouldn't make much sense if he was a
chaser, so I thought he was a seeker, but then I read on an official site
that he was suppose to be a Chaser. But I guess it would make more sense if
he were a seeker.
Chapter 3
A week had already passed since the first of September. Almost everybody had gotten use to the changes made inside the school. First I should mention that students under year 5 would have to be back in the common room by 8'o clock unless with a teacher's permission. Second, DA is officially a new subject being taught by the great Harry Potter himself, along with the new or should I say old Defence Against Dark Arts teacher, Remus Lupin. Dumbledore had to write many letters to the Ministry to be able to bring him back to Hogwarts, to Snape's disgust, but other than him, everybody seemed to loved that idea, especially the Gryffindors.
It's now 7'o clock on a Saturday morning. Most students were still asleep, but Harry and his friends were already down at the Great Hall eating breakfast.
"I thought we'd have less homework this year, you know after our OWL's and all," said Ron, looking at the books piled around him, "well, I'm horribly wrong."
"Honestly," said Hermione knowingly, "do you really think it would be easier this year? We have our NEWT's coming up! How could you even think about relaxing?"
"Well, I can hope can't I?" he asked as he took a plate of bacon and grabbed a fork from his right as he started to eat it at an amazing speed. Hermione shook her head in disgust at Ron's eating habit as she buried her head in her textbook once more.
"I head from Katie that we have Quidditch practice tonight," said Harry who couldn't hold off the smirk any longer after listening to Ron and Hermione's another argument. Honestly, you'd think they were married.
"How do you think we are going to do this year," asked Ron through a mouthful of bacons and eggs, while stuffing more into his mouth, "without Angelina, Fred, and George and all."
"I have no idea," he shrugged, "but a lot of the other houses are in the same situation, so we won't be the only ones needing a whole new team and strategy."
"You know," said Ron honestly, while putting his folk down as he snatched the goblet full of pumpkin juice, "it's going to be good to have you back, mate."
"It's going to be good to be back," he said with a faint smile, "I can't wait to get back in the air. It's the only place where I can forget everything."
"I know what you mean," said Ginny, who just seated herself next to Hermione as she took a plate full of scones, "you know that the Ravenclaws are having their Quidditch practice right now? I just saw them on my way over. They are really good!"
"We can check them out later," said Ron as Hermione gave him an accusing look, "just to check out our competition."
"I heard from Anthony Goldstein that they were looking for a new beater and a chaser after their old ones left," said Hermione, from behind her pile of books, "I think they are having the tryout later today."
"What about our practice?" asked Ron in anger.
"We'll probably be done by then," said a voice from behind them, which belonged to Leo Bradley, standing next to Krystal Albrian, both clutching their brooms.
"What makes you say that?" asked Ginny in curiosity
"We saw them practice few minutes ago, and they weren't exactly the best flyers I've ever seen. I'll be glad if they just don't fall off their broom half way through the tryout and being sent to the Hospital Wing after," said Leo desperately
"They can't be that bad," said Harry trying to get more information.
"Yeah, they are," she said as she shrugged, "you guys are welcome to come and see the tryout if you don't believe us."
"Really? You sure Davies wouldn't mind?" asked Ron looking from Leo and Kris.
"It's not like we are going to use any of them anyways, since they are so terrible, we were thinking of a back up plan," he said with a smirk. The Gryffindors arched their eyebrows, wondering what exactly he meant.
"Anyways," said Krystal with a sweet smile, "we better go and find Madam Hooch, so she can give us the Quidditch balls. That's why we came in here in the first place. Dunno why they are so heavily guarded these days."
She waved goodbye before she turned around and left, soon Leo followed. Leaving the Gryffindors there to wonder what they've heard, and if they should go to watch the tryout or not.
"Like I've said before," said Ron, "we should check out our competitions."
"That way," said Ginny, "we can compare our beaters to their new beaters. It'll give us a better idea of what we are up against."
"I guess so," he said as he stood up, "we better get our broom sticks, so we can go for a ride if we get bored. We may even be there until our Quidditch practice starts."
Soon the Gryffindors marched back to their dormitory to get their broomsticks and cloaks fit for the cold September weather. Few minutes later, they were outside, in the Quidditch pitch, watching the Ravenclaws soaring around on their broomsticks in the air.
"I think I see Davies playing with that Krystal girl," she said as she blocked the sunray out of her eyes, "she's a pretty good keeper."
"She awesome!" exclaimed Ron with his jaw hanged open, "Davies can't even get a single goal with her as keeper!"
"I think she's as good as Wood," said Alicia Spinnet as she marched out of the changing room with Katie Bell close behind "Now I know, why they let her onto the team without even a tryout."
"They have a really good team this year," said Harry in amazement, "It'll be hard for us to get the Quidditch trophy again."
"We can still do it!" Ginny said finally, "we have Harry back this year. No matter how good their chasers or keeper are. We can still win if he catches the snitch!"
"You are right!" said Katie smiling at Harry with pride, "we can do it."
"We've done it before, even when the chances looked bad!" said Alicia, "and we can do it again!"
Harry's smile escaped when he saw Cho flying not to far away, talking to Davies about something apparently, very interesting. While, Kris was racing with Leo around the pitch.
