Chapter Seventeen
Facts and Feathers
(Harry and Oliver and carrying a trunk out into an open field. As they are walking Oliver takes this time to explain Quidditch to Harry.)
Oliver:
Quidditch is easy undestand. Each team has eight players. Three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper and a Seeker. That's you.
(He uses the little bat thingy to point at Harry, almost hitting him in the face.)
Harry:
Um, wouldn't that be seven players then?
(Oliver thinks about this for a second. He gives him a cute, but evil glare.)
Oliver:
Ok then, there are three kinds of balls.
Harry:
Now are you sure it's three?
(Oliver gives Harry another look. He pulls out the biggest ball which is shaped funny. He throws it at Harry (hehehe).)
Oliver:
This one's called the Quaffle. The Chasers handle the Quaffle and...
(He points to three hoops on the Quidditch field.)
...try to put it through one of those three hoooooooops. The Keeper, that's me (one of my fav. faces!!), defends the hoops. With me so far?
(Harry throws the Quaffle back at Oliver, but with more force, hitting him in the head.)
Harry:
Um, are you alright?
Oliver:
...
Harry:
Um, yes, I get it. What are those?
(Still mad at Harry, Oliver looks down and sees Harry is pointing at a Bludger. He get's an evil idea.)
Oliver:
Oh, those? Those are the Snitches, yeah. There are two just incase one gets lost...that's it...in case one gets lost.
Harry:
Then what is that bat for?
(Oliver is holding a bat in his left hand.)
Oliver:
Um, what bat?
Harry:
The one in your left hand.
Oliver:
I don't know what your...WHAT'S THAT?
(He points behind Harry, Harry turns and looks. Oliver throws the bat behind him with his SUPER STRENGTH! Harry turns around to see that Oliver does not have the bat.)
Harry:
But you just...and the...where did it go?
Oliver:
I still don't know what your talking about.
Harry:
Okay...so what do I need to know about the Snitch?
Oliver:
You catch it. Yeah, before the other team does.
Harry:
Alright then.
(We now see everyone in a class. Professor Flitwick is standing on a large pile of books, cause he's so small.)
Flitwick:
One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation or the ability to make objects fly. Do you have your feathers?
(Hermione quickly grabs her feather and waves it all around. She gets up and starts parading around with it. When she is done she sits back down.)
Flitwick:
Good! Good! Now, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing. The swish and flick. Everyone do it.......NOW.
(Everyone begins swishing and flicking.)
Flitwick:
Good! Now everyone, enunciate: Windgardium Leviosa. Off you go then.
(Everyone keeps swishing and flicking.)
Seamus:
Windgardium Leviosssssa...
(His feather begins taking off zooming all around the room.)
Seamus:
WOW!! I DID IT!!! I'M SSSSSO SSSSMART!!!
(Ron is trying to get his feather up but is trying too hard.)
Ron:
Windgardrum Leviosar.
(He starts pointing his wand at the feather, but like he did when he was asking if Harry had head...I mean scar...)
Hermione:
No, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! You are going to put someone's eye out. Besides, you are saying it WRONG. It's Leviosa, not Leviosar.
Ron:
You do it then, if you're so clever. Go on!
(Hermione takes out her wand, and performs Windgardium Leviosa perfectly. Ron watches her in amazement and whispers under his breath "I love you", but would never in a million years admit that to someone...well maybe not a million...maybe like, 4 or 5. Anywho, everyone is now out of class. Ron, Harry, Seamus, and some Gryffindor Kid who the directors only use when they don't know who should say the next lines.)
Ron:
"It's Leviosa, not Leviosar." She's a nightmare, honestly! No wonder she hasn't got any friends!
(Hermione had been walking right behind them and heard Ron, she rushes past them, crying, bumping into Ron.)
Harry:
I think she heard you.
(Wow, really? What gave you that idea? I thought she just liked bumping into people, crying.)
