Quidditch and Refusals
~!~
A week later Harry still didn't see Hagrid back from where he was. There was a Gryffindor verse Slytherin Quidditch match today and Harry found himself getting very excited. He wanted to fly and forget about everything that was on his mind. When he was flying he felt like he was just a normal teenager. He was the captain this year being the only one left from the original team. After a little speech it was time to play.
Harry watched as Gryffindor scored several times and blocked quaffles thrown by the opponents. The game was getting close at 150 to 140 Gryffindor and Harry still didn't see the snitch. By the look of things Malfoy didn't see it either. Slytherin scored again making the game tied and Harry finally saw the snitch. He sped off in the direction of the teacher's box. Malfoy followed closely catching up more by the second as Harry went after the snitch. Harry lost the snitch for a second but when he looked around to see where it had went he saw that Draco was falling off his broom.
He was falling straight for the rock hard ground that was below and unfortunately there was nothing soft for him to land on. Without giving it another thought Harry sped up to a speed he never thought he could go. He could hear the gasps of the crowd but he only went faster. Getting closer to the ground he caught Draco and then swooped up quickly. He slowly descended to the ground without saying a word. The Firebolt Harry was riding and the boy draped over it behind him was almost five feet near the ground they both lost their grip and toppled over onto the soft dew covered grass.
They didn't say anything or move at all because they were both still quite surprised at what just happened. The broom was in between them and the whole crowd was completely silent. The two boys could hear footstep coming towards them and Harry sat up. He looked around and saw that Draco had his head up as well. They exchanged looks and then suddenly they started laughing. They were chuckling hysterically and everyone in the stands watched in awe as the golden boy and the bad boy Slytherin laughed together. The only thing that rang in the pitch was the laughter of the two teenagers. Everyone was in shock. The only people that knew that knew that Draco and Harry were friends now were Fallyn, Hermione and Ron as well as a few teachers.
They weren't even sure why they were laughing but when they looked around and saw the expressions of everyone in the stands they stopped. Harry helped Draco up and smiled at him. Teachers started to approach again but stopped when Malfoy opened his fist and held a tiny golden ball up in the air for everyone to see.
There was silence for a minute until the Slytherins erupted in cheers and shouts.
"Slytherin wins!" Madame Hooch shouted which only made the crowd go wilder. The Slytherins cheered and the other houses booed.
The next couple of days everyone talked about the Quidditch match and the strange behavior between the minister and his supposed enemy. Harry continued to regularly go to the ministry to do some work and the aurors were minding their own business which made the students at Hogwarts quite happy. Harry was called to Dumbledore's office on an early Saturday morning to talk. Harry wasn't sure what he would talk about but he went anyway.
"Hello Mr. Potter, how are you doing today and how are the aurors stationed at Hogsmeade and Azkaban? Dumbledore asked.
"I'm fine and as far as I know the aurors are doing alright," Harry told him.
"I'm glad. I've called you hear today to talk about forming a student army or training students in case of the worse."
"No!" Harry said immediately.
"Harry I know that you care about the student's safety but it might be completely necessary. The aurors we have now might not be enough. It would only be available for 6th year students and up and it would be quite like the D.A. Only students who would really want to fight would and it will most likely help a lot."
"No! More people will die because of me!" Harry demanded.
"Mr. Potter, no one died because of you," Dumbledore said reassuringly. Harry looked sadly down at his lap not saying a word and Dumbledore sighed. The headmaster gloomily realized that Harry still believed he was the cause of Cedric's and Remus' death and he knew that nothing he said could change that.
But maybe someone else could help..
"Harry I want you to go see Sirius. I want you to talk to him and come back."
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Just go Harry. I will tell him that you're coming."
"Can I floo?" he asked looking over at the fireplace in the headmaster's office.
"No Mr. Potter. You will walk like everyone else."
Harry sighed but did as he was told without asking any questions. He walked to his godfather's room and said the password. He saw Sirius sitting on the couch sipping something in a mug with his feet sprawled out on the whole seat. Harry went up to the couch and sat on the man's legs.
"Ow Harry!" Why did you do that?" Sirius yelled and brought his legs to the right position. Harry grinned and put his head on Sirius' shoulder.
"Dumbledore told me you were coming. He said he thought we should talk."
Harry sat up. "What about?" he asked curiously.
"How are you doing Harry?"
"Fine," he replied.
Sirius decided to take a different approach on this tender topic. "Dumbledore tells me he wants to train some students to fight."
"Yeah well he won't," Harry stated.
"Why?" Sirius asked.
"Because I feel very strongly about keeping everyone safe. I haven't really made any decisions against Dumbledore as the minister and I think it is about time. I can stop him even if he really wants to do it."
"Harry, we may need more people. 6th and 7th years might be strong enough to fight and it would only be if they choose to do so."
"The war doesn't need 16 year olds! I don't want anymore deaths on my conscience!" Harry yelled but suddenly stopped talking after realizing what he had just admitted to feeling.
Sirius stared at his godson who had tears rolling down his red cheeks and grabbed him into a big comforting hug. He stroked his hair and luckily missed the confused look Harry was giving him.
"Harry I thought we already went through this," Sirius said calmly letting the boy go. Harry sat dumbly looking at his godfather. Words could not be found.
"I know Sirius,"
"Harry, you have to stop blaming yourself for everything."
"But I am the-boy-who-lived. It is my fault whether I want it to be or not."
"Cedric and Remus do not believe that it was your fault."
"But they should!"
Harry started crying heavily and the two talked for a while. After a little over an hour Sirius was finally getting through to the teenager.
"Thank you Sirius. I believe you but I still feel bad."
"I know Harry. You can talk to me anytime you want. I will always listen to you. Does this mean that you will let Dumbledore talk to the students?"
Harry looked shocked for a second before answering. "No way! You've helped me realize that it wasn't necessarily my fault but I do not want to put innocent lives in danger. I have to go talk to Dumbledore. I'll see you later Padfoot," Harry said walking to that door.
"Love you Harry," Sirius called to him.
"Love you too," Harry said and walked up to Albus' office for the second time that day. He was glad that he had someone so much like a father that loved him. Harry loved him a lot too and that did a tremendous amount of good for Harry's emotional state.
"Harry did you talk to Sirius?" Albus asked.
"Yes Albus but I still don't want you to get the students to fight."
Dumbledore looked in the minister's emerald eyes searchingly for a minute but then spoke. "Is that an order Harry? I mean as the minister telling his employee what to do?"
Harry thought for a several minutes. Was he sure about this? There would be a lot of advantages but he didn't want to put anyone in danger, especially his classmates.
Harry nodded.
Dumbledore sighed but returned the nod. "Alright then Harry. If you are sure?"
"Yes," Harry croaked and left the headmaster's office. Harry went to the ministry and worked for a couple of hours and accidentally fell asleep on the couch.
A week later it was decided that Harry shouldn't go with Hagrid on his little journey. Harry went about his day like usual attending classes in the morning, having an hour break and then going to the ministry until late. Training with Fallyn and Draco had stopped because there wasn't much more that was necessary to learn. They were told to practice daily which Harry did without question. He noticed the students acting weird around him. Some would whisper or avoid eye contact and others would ignore him completely or stop talking when he entered the room. The weird thing was that the students who were doing this were those of sixth and seventh year. Harry decided to find out what this was all about.
A/N- I have such a good idea for my next chapter!! It will be awesome!! I hoped you liked this chapter. The Quidditch thing just came in my mind. This chapter wasn't that long but expect the next one to be a little bit longer.
