Chapter Ten: The Tryouts!
The next two weeks flew by for Harry as he taught his classes and gave the flying tutorials to the students. Most of the upper level students had all the necessary skills to do fine at the tryouts, so he wasn't worried about them. Once he had the younger students up to scratch he felt they would be fine as well. He had even decided to allow the first years to tryout for the teams. Normally that wouldn't have been allowed since Quidditch requires a full years training and practice time on a regulation broom to play in a school game, but since the second, third and fourth years weren't going to have that luxury, then why hold back the 'firsties.'
The only other thing that stuck out in Harry's mind was the first sponsor meeting he had with the 'firsties.' They all gathered in his office and they went over all their classes to see what they liked and disliked. Both of the boys disliked Muggle Studies, but for different reasons. Will disliked it because that's how he grew up and that was boring, he wanted to do magic and Xander really disliked the idea of not being allowed to bring his wand to class. No magic what-so-ever was allowed in Professor Thorne's classroom, in fact she didn't allow it in the library either.
The girls however, were of a different mind. Waverly and Pamela didn't like transfiguration, but only because Professor Proctor was so mean to everyone. While Talitha loved Herbology and Daisy liked Professor Sangeorge, but didn't like potions, Violetta thought she should be allowed to sleep during History of Magic; it was just so boring according to her. However, all seven of them loved Charms and thought the world of Harry, though they said he gave to much homework.
* * * * *
Harry woke up on Saturday morning knowing that today was going to be hectic, today was the Quidditch tryouts in the afternoon and probably late into the evening most likely. Luckily Ron and his mystery guest were showing up this morning to help him out.
"I wonder who he is bringing up with him." thought Harry out loud. Oh well he'd find out when he found out. So Harry got up and headed into the shower to get ready for the day.
After breakfast Harry managed to deflect several students and made his way to the front gates of the school's grounds and starting walking along the cobble way towards Honeychurch station. Ron and his mystery guest weren't coming in on the train, but it was closest apparition point they could get to due to the school's protections. Harry walked to the market to buy a few sweets to offer to Ron in a very Dumbledore like fashion and waited at the station for them to arrive.
Harry didn't have to wait to long before they appeared on the platform not too far from his bench. Harry couldn't believe it standing beside Ron was none other than the Bulgarian seeker, Viktor Krum.
"Viktor?" explained Harry in utter surprise, "I never guessed in a hundred years it was you Ron was bringing."
"Vell Harry, vhen Herm-own-ninny vas telling me that you vere teaching I vanted to come and see for myself." laughed Viktor while shaking Harry's hand.
"Well you're certainly welcome. I'm going to need all the help I can get today. Did you bring your brooms with you?" Harry asked the two men.
"Yeah mate, we brung them." said Ron and then said "I brought Viktor here because he's getting out of professional Quidditch and is thinking of becoming a teacher."
"Really?" said Harry in total disbelief.
"Yah, I am thinking that too many bludgers to the head is a bad thing. Besides I vanted to give something back to people vho helped me get to vhere I am." Viktor explained. "Any bits of visdom you vouldl like to give me vould be helpful."
"Well, so far I love teaching," Harry began, "but there is one I learned the hard way that I will share with you today."
"Vhat is that?"
"If you assign a three foot essay to a group of student, you're going to have to read the damn things later." said Harry and then they all three laughed.
* * * * *
After Harry and Ron brought Viktor through the school gates, which shocked the hell out of the Bulgarian, they headed for the pitch to have lunch before the tryouts began thanks to Dobby. Later Dobby popped away only to return later wearing a baseball cap and jacket and a large silver whistle, looking very much like a Muggle football coach on the first day of practice. Dobby was also carrying a clip board and had a ready ink quill with him to take notes.
"Dobby? Are you even going to need us here at all today?" asked Ron with a grin.
"Harry Potter is needing his notes taken and will be to busy himself." replied Dobby as if it were the most obvious thing in the world to know.
Harry and Ron laughed while Viktor had a very confused look on his face. He had never before in his life seen a house elf act in such a manner.
However, once lunch was over in the dining hall, the students who were hoping to make one of the new teams came streaming out to the pitch, while the rest of the school took the stands. Almost everyone had noticed the two men with Harry out on the pitch and wondered who they were. Madame Klump, of course, recognized Ron from his trips to repair the pitch during the summer, but had no idea who the duck footed man was at all.
As the students came down Ron noticed something that made him do a double take, there among the younger students was a miniature version of Draco Malfoy.
"Umm, Harry?" Ron stated, "is the blonde boy a Malfoy?"
"Yes, Ron, he is." Harry replied with a slight smile on his face.
"Aren't you worried that he'll tell his father where you are?"
"Not really, his father is dead." Harry continued almost enjoying this, "Draco is his half brother, unless you think he was down in the dungeons doing it while we were in the Chamber of Secrets." Harry was shaking trying to hold back his giggles.
"Very funny. You know what I meant." scowled Ron, "aren't you worried that he'll show up and try to mate with you again?"
"Not really, Xander is Lucuis' son by his mistress and not by Narcissa and she detests the boy. He never mentions Draco, so I doubt that they even speak. However, I get the impression that Draco spends all of his time moping around Malfoy Manor in utter despair because I've rejected him…repeatedly."
"I hope your right mate." said Ron sagely.
Then Harry called out to the students gathered on the pitch, "Everyone, this is my best mate Ron Weasley and my good friend Viktor Krum. They have both come to help with the tryouts today and give me advice as to whom to pick for the teams. First we're going to start with the chasers and the seekers, so everyone not applying for those positions please step back to the edge of the pitch."
Several students stepped back while others stayed forward, including Xander Malfoy.
Harry continued, "Now Ron is an excellent Keeper and can block almost any throw a Chaser can give him, so he'll be up there watching the Chasers perform." Ron blushed at the compliment. "Viktor here will be observing the seekers as the hunt for the snitch. He's almost as good as I am at it." Harry turned and winked at Viktor, who in return swatted Harry's arm playfully.
"Now I'll be up in the air observing and Dobby here will take notes on everything." Dobby beamed at the mention. "I want the seekers to come over here with Viktor and get ready." Five students complied immediately and they mounted their brooms and were up in the air along side Viktor.
"Everyone ready?" asked Harry and they were. "Alright, I'm going to release the snitch now. Three, Two, One…." and then nothing happened and they were confused. "Oh, I released the snitch five minutes ago, go find it."
While Harry was with the seekers, Ron flew up to one of the set of goals and waited for him to start talking to the Chasers. "Now you lot, each of you will have five shots of scoring at least once on Ron, before the next person gets their chance. Don't worry if you don't do well the first time through, you'll probably be going through this process a couple of times more today."
In turn each player mounted their broom and was thrown the Quaffle and each had their turn against Ron. Harry was in the air observing the Chasers and Seekers, while Dobby, through unknown means, kept every note that Harry wanted.
Then suddenly a small blonde blur came racing towards Harry. "Professor, I got it, I got it!" Indeed Xander Malfoy had the snitch held tightly in his hand showing it to Harry.
Harry grinned at him and said "Excellent Mr. Malfoy, but do let it go so someone else can have a go with it."
Grinning from ear to ear, the young Malfoy did as he was told and the other seekers once again were after the snitch.
* * * * *
After the Seekers and Chasers had their turn, it was time for the Beater and the Keepers to have a go at it. First it was the keepers who went and each potential keeper guarded their goals against the combined skill of Harry, Ron and Viktor. None of them stood a chance in a professional game, but Harry was impressed with a couple of them and Dobby took excellent notes. Then it was the Beaters who went last. This time Ron played observer and it was Viktor and Harry who were in the air with them trying not to get bludgeoned to death. Again Dobby took excellent notes.
Finally after several hours of the try-outs, a very exhausted Harry sent the players to the showers and the rest of the school to dinner while the three adults discussed who to cut and who to keep. Once the three of them were in the coach's office they sat down and started going over their notes.
"Vell, as much as I don't vant to admit it, the Malfoy boy caught the snitch three times." started Viktor.
"How about the other's?" asked Harry. "I'm going to need three of them you know."
"Vell, the girl with the flower name did vell also, and the little girl with brown hair were both very good."
"Flower girl and brown hair girl?" asked Ron, "That's descriptive."
"I is thinking Mr. Krum is talking about Miss Daisy and Miss Daphne." said Dobby and Harry nodded.
"Well, Ron who did you like for Keepers?" Harry went on after he noted the three potential seekers.
"That Flannery boy seemed really good in the air, but talking to him is like pulling teeth with tweezers, mate. What's he like in class?"
"He hides behind the others and hopes I don't call on him." grinned Harry, "So I make him come up and help me demonstrate."
"That is mean of you." admonished Viktor, but laughed all the same.
"True, but he does really well in class after he's called upon." responded the dark haired teacher. "Anyone else caught your eye, Ron?"
"Well that seventh year Emily caught my eye."
"She caught my eye as vell." smirked Viktor. "Very vell."
"I meant as a keeper, I'm taken. Also I liked that second year boy Balthazar something, didn't catch his last name. He was really good for someone so young."
"Alright now, let's discuss the chasers and the beaters…."
* * * * *
Later that night, after Harry had walked his two friends back to the outskirts of the school's outer wall so they could apparate home, he was still working on the team rosters in his office up by his classroom, when someone knocked on his door.
"Yes, who is it?" ask Harry, fully expecting one of the staff to pester him about their students making their teams or not.
"Good evening, Professor."
"Mr. Beagle, I didn't expect to see you tonight. Is something wrong? Are you alright?" Harry asked with some concern. His firsties hardly ever bother this close to curfew before.
"Everything is fine sir; I just wanted to know if you had the team rosters done yet or not." he asked while trying to peak over the desk top to see it.
"Well, I'm still working on it as we speak. Any reason you might want to know?" Harry teased, "I didn't get the impression that you had tried out for a spot on any of them teams today."
"Oh I didn't sir, I was only curious."
"I see. You know I think I saw Mr. Malfoy trying out for a seeker position this afternoon. You wouldn't be down here spying for him would you?" Harry asked with a huge smile on his face.
"Professor? I'm amazed that you would think so low of me." said Mr. Beagle trying his best impression of his mother as possible.
"That would a yes then?"
"Yeah." replied the cornered 11-year-old, causing Harry to laugh.
Then Harry turned to a cupboard and pulled out two bottles of butterbeer, "Ever had a butterbeer before Will?" he asked.
Will shook his head in reply and Harry opened a bottle for him and handed it too him.
After he took a drink he said, "What is this, it's great."
"Butterbeer, Will, its butterbeer."
After another swig from the bottle Will said, "This is the best thing I've ever had in my mouth."
Once again Will Beagle said something that made Harry think of Seamus Finnegan.

Author's Note: To everyone who reviewed, thanks again...
To everyone...would you like it if I did another side story with only the descripions of the staff and students (who btw have all been named) along with house elves, ghosts and pets? Let me know.
athenakitty wrote Will the fifth year students do well on their OWLs? The seventh on their NEWTs? Will Honeychurch be famous as well?
Answer - Will Honeychurch be famous? No more than usual. It's just an ordinary every run of the mill school of magic set in the middle of no-where.
Virusgod wrote I just read this story, and I must say, I am impressed. I like how its not Hogwarts for a change. Update soon!
Answer - I know what you mean, its like Harry can never get away from Hogwarts without coming back.
captuniv wrote Harry's flying lessons were a major hit. Nicely done. Seems like Professor Proctor is in for a surgical pole removal. :) Like Fitzy, she's pretty cool. Wondering about Lotus. Did Vesta set her loose to break up the talk between Fitzy and Harry? That last scene with Malfoy was interesting. Can't wait to see Ron's reaction to him. Keep it coming!!
Answer - Professor Proctor isn't all he seems, well not exactly, he is a bit uptight. As for Ron, there will be a diffinite reaction, just wait.
CastusAlbusCor wrote Hm... Intetresting...Will there be any action (Dark Lords, Lovers fighting?)
Answer - Kinda. There will be villians of a sort, but I wanted them to get thru the first week of classes before that. :) Also, there will be lovers in this story and a few surprises too.
Kandice wrote Lol. Aww Fitzy has a thing for Potter. Lol.
Hey, my emails to you keep bouncing back, you getting anything from me?
Romm wrote That was an evil thing to do... Having Xander drop some sort of bomb on Harry and not telling us about it. *pouts* Ah well. Still fun. I liked all of the students skipping out on dinner to play on the brooms, sounds like something I'd do. *grins*
Answer - No if I hadn't left you hanging, then you wouldn't come back for more. Only the first one is free. :)
kensai2 wrote I am enjoying your story. It is well written, and a refreshing outlook on the future life of Harry. The only inquery I have is this story going to be slash?
Answer - There is going to be some slash in this story, however, it may or may not be between who you think it will. :)
Bill wrote a lot! Infact Bill wrote a synopsis of the entire story and got it right! It was like looking at my own notes for the story. The only thing he didn't include was the blueprints of the castle. I drew them by the way. :)
Answer - (Only Bill will understand, sorry) Everything you said is dead on! It was sooooo spooky! Are you my secret split personality? :) The only thing you got wrong was Maude is the sponsor for the 4th years and Terentia has the 2nd years and not the other way around. Also Taryn is indeed the 2nd oldest staff member, he still has more energy than most of the younger members of staff and the students.
