~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was a cool September morning, and the day of quidditch try-outs. "Harry! Ooohhh Harry darling time to get up!" James said.
"Mm-mm"
"C'mon mate, quidditch try-outs today! They're kinda pointless without the captain there!" Ron said.
"Then you be captain." Harry grumbled.
"I wish... sorry mate." Ron stripped the sheets off his friend. "Ya need to get up."
"Ok, ok I'm up! Geez!" Harry sleepily walked over to his trunk and dug out this quidditch robe and started to get dressed.
He met Ron, Hermione, and James in the common room and headed down to breakfast.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
It was eleven o'clock and Gryffindor try-outs were about to begin.
"Ok... Seeing as last years replacements for Fred and George, have resigned, we also obviously have an opening for that... Ok... Chasers go over there with Katie and Ron... Beaters com with me and James." There were about a dozen people in all. 5 for beater... and 7 for chaser.
Harry and James walked to one side of the pitch while Katie and Ron took the other side.
"Ok... it's simple, I'll let 2 bludgers out, and I'll call each of you in turn to defend both me and James."
The beaters nodded.
"Good." Harry mounted his broom and looked at the register in his hands. "Ok lets have... Cain Peak." A 4th year with chestnut hair nodded, and mounted his broom. James handed him his bat, and set the two bludgers loose. The he mounted his nimbus 2000 (Harry inherited the gold in Sirius's vault and bought James a new broom)
The three of them kicked off. Cain was almost flawless. Though twice Harry had to duck to not be hit, Harry could tell Cain would be a good beater with practice.
The next four went. So far Harry had narrowed it down to Cain, and 5th year named Sam (short for Samantha) Mist, and another 4th year named Sawn Howard.
"Ok... we're just going to wait till Ron and Katie are done with the chasers, and we will combine you and the chasers to see how well you do in a game situation." Harry explained.
The beaters nodded. They didn't have to wait long. Soon, Katie and Ron were walking over to Harry and James with 3 possible chasers in tow.
"Ok... now that Ron and Katie are here we can start... we'll have Shawn and Cain, with Ginny and Dean, then Ron can be in goal... Katie, James, and Sam will be the opposing team. After 10 minutes we'll switch up the teams... got it?"
They nodded.
"Good." He blew the whistle and everybody kicked off. Harry flew around the stadium watching their progress. Ginny and Dean were excellent. They were the perfect replacements for Angelina and Alicia. Sam and Sawn were awesome too. Cain had the most aggressiveness though, he had the making of a great beater.
20 minutes later, the try-outs ended. "Ok... Katie, Ron, James and myself will decide which of you makes it. You all may stay out here and practice or do whatever you'd like, just done leave the pitch."
10 minutes later, Harry and the others made their way onto the pitch.
"Ok... new chasers will be... Ginny Weasley and Dean Thomas.
"Yes!" Ginny and Dean said. Harry smiled.
New beaters will be... Cain Peak and Sam Mist.
"Yes!"
"Ok... congrats to those of you ho made it... to those who didn't good luck next time.: Katie said.
"Ok... practice Monday... 4:00 don't be late."
"So Potter... this your pitiful team? By the looks of it you don't have a chance at the cup."
"What do you want ferret face?" Harry snarled.
Malfoy smirked. "I challenge you to a quidditch match."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Please Malfoy... challenge? You're anything BUT a challenge."
"Then prove it if your so good Potter."
"I don't need to prove it Malfoy... I prefer to embarrass you in public... it's more fun."
"Oh I see... your scared.... The famous Harry Portter afraid to go against a Slytherin."
"Fine... I accept your challenge... be back here in 1 hour." With that Harry turned on his heel and led a VERY shocked team to the Gryffindor changing room.
"Harry.... HAVE YOU COMEPLETEY LOST IT??!! Malfoy's had time to practice with his team! He had try-outs on Wednesday!! (A/N: I know Dumbledore said try- outs on Saturday but since when does Malfoy care about the rules?) We haven't had any time to train our new players!" Katie said angrily.
"Listen, our team can beat Malfoy and his team ok? Face it... they're not that much of a challenge." Harry countered.
"But with out a ref they're going to play dirtier than usual." Ginny reasoned.
"AND you can lose your captaincy!" Ron said.
"Ron's right you know." Katie said.
"Don't worry about it ok?"
"We can get into a lot of trouble if the teacher's find out."
"Well we can't back out now... Malfoy would never let me live it down! If we beat him today then he'll hopefully just keep his big mouth shut."
James checked his watch. "Hours up, let's go."
The team headed out towards the pitch. James was in front carrying the quidditch box.
"Ok, I'm going to be the ref got it? You don't listen to me then I won't hesitate to curse you off your brooms... got that?" He said directly to the Slytherins. James didn't wait for an answer. "On the count of three...1...2...3!" he blew the whistle and everybody flew into the air.
James kicked open the box and set free the golden snitch, the 2 bludgers, and then he released the quaffle.
It was by far the ugliest game Harry had ever played. The Slytherins were taking advantage of having no teachers there to keep an eye on them. They were also deaf to James's whistles, and dodged every curse thrown at them.
Gryffindor was leading, 50 to 20. Twice, Harry had seen the snitch, but he was just knocked off course by a bludger and the 2nd time Malfoy nearly knocked him off his broom.
Katie just scored another goal for Gryffindor. Then Harry saw it... just below the left Gryffindor goal post was the golden snitch.
He was closer, but he didn't want Malfoy to know he'd seen it. So he dived, dodging every Slytherin attempt to knock him off course or off his broom.
Malfoy followed him. Harry was 10ft. from the ground when he veered left out of the dive and headed up towards the goal post. He reached out his hand and caught it. Just then and angry yell was heard on the field.
"WHAT DO YOU KIDS THINK YOUR DOING?!" They saw a VERY angry Professor McGonagall on the pitch. They all landed.
"Mr. Potter... Mr. Malfoy... what on earth do you think you were doing?"
"Playing quidditch." Harry said lamely. What was the point in lying? They had been caught red handed.
"You both know that an unauthorized quidditch match is strictly against the rules! I have sufficient evidence to have both of you have your captaincy taken away! However... I will let you by with a warning and a letter to your and your teams' families. And a weeks detention for all of you!"
Harry nodded. Malfoy gave no sign of acknowledgement.
"Now... all of you... back to your common rooms and change... Now!"
The two teams walked back to the castle. Both angry that they had been caught and had one weeks worth of detention to go along with it."
