Disclaimer- J.K Rowling is the smartest woman alive. She would probably be appalled if she read this melodramatic crap. I hope that this doesn't put ideas in any of your heads about what might happen in future HP books because I KNOW NOTHING!!! I don't own any of the characters either... This whole thing is therapy (because I was upset over the character she killed off) I'm just posting it because people told me to…
Harry's first week at Hogwarts was very stressful. NEWT classes were very difficult. The teachers, however were very impressed that Harry did his homework so well over the holidays and understood the material. Because of that, Harry definitely didn't struggle as much as he could have. The fact that he no longer had Divination, Astronomy and History of Magic probably helped his homework load but Professor Snape made up for that. He gave his classes piles and piles of homework every class. Harry appreciated Hermione's friendship more than ever and because of her, Harry was focused and able to complete his homework before Friday night when he had Quiddich try-outs.
Harry left for the quiddich court right after class. He, 7th year Katie Bell and Ron worked out how they were going to work the beater and chaser try- outs. The beaters were going to fly from 50 feet away, Katie was going to control both bludgers with her wand and the people trying out will smack both of the bludgers at a given bulls eye target that Harry will by flying around with. . Then the chasers were going to try out against Ron as keeper. They will make their decisions with Professor MacGonagall afterwards. Harry then took his firebolt out. As he put his hand over the handle of it. He bit his lip. Sirius gave it to him. Harry wished he could have told Sirius about him being captain of the Gryffindor Quiddich team.... Harry came back to reality as he saw Mark step on to the field with a school broom.
"Hi Harry" Mark greeted him cheerfully.
"Hello Mark" Harry greeted back. "Are you ready."
"If these brooms could fly better." he told Harry. Harry smiled sympathetically at Mark as he looked at the broom he was holding. "Well, at least you had the sense to pick the best one"
"Harry" Mark said very quietly. "I don't know if you heard this or not, but I almost got in trouble on the first day of school"
Harry nodded. "I was in transfiguration that day, and I could hear everything that Dumbledore said to you."
"Even the part about another boy that was blamed for attacking people in his second year? Mark asked
"That was me" Harry said in a serious and anxious tone. "The one that you share qualities with"
There was an awkward silence "I know exactly why we are alike" Mark said biting his lip.
Harry then gave him an curious glare.
"Your mother Lily" Mark said slowly. "Was my father's cousin."
Harry's jaw dropped. "That means we are--"
"Second cousins" Mark interrupted. "My parents told me that you were my cousin when I was six... when you were eleven and found out you were a wizard. Every time my family and I would drive by your house, I would wonder if you knew what you were yet. My parents were both muggles, but as your mother's favorite cousin, my father saw the signs when I was two and contacted Professor Dumbledore immediately."
"But if you are my blood relative, why can't I just...." Harry began
"Because the blood line runs deeper with your aunt Petunia. It's very complicated how it works Harry. I myself would have liked an older cousin to hang out with, and I knew since forever. I was forbidden by Dumbledore to tell you until you are 16. He didn't want you to think you had a way out of living with the Dursley's. They're horrible people, but he has something in Dumbledore's mind that they are the best protection that you can get" Mark explained.
"But Mark" Harry started. "He respected my godfather's wishes to let me live at his old house. I don't have to be at the Dursley's any more."
"Well... you are sixteen, and from what I heard, you can sure take care of yourself" Mark told him. "
Just then; Cara, Ginny and Ron came onto the Quiddich feild laughing and joking around, each carrying a broomstick.
"Harry, you missed it." Ron said through his laughter. "Goyle fell off his broom and landed on Crabbe. I REALLY shouldn't have thrown that cupcake at him."
"Yeah" Ginny added "Maybe if we tell him the bludgers are made of chocolate, they will let it hit their faces trying to eat it"
"DO IT..........!" Cara said to Ron with a big smile. Ron's ears went red
An hour later everyone who wanted to try out for the team was there. MacGonagall blew a whistle as the beaters got in line to knock the bludgers against the target. Mark, by far was the best. Slopper and Kirke, who replaced Fred and George after they were kicked off last year, didn't seem to get much better. Slopper missed the bludger and it hit him in the head knocking him out cold. Madame Hooch carried him to the hospital wing. Kirke hit the bludger but it swayed so far from it's target and almost hit Cara in the head. Ron was very mad and yelled at him going on and on about how he is NOT going to be on the team making Cara smile appreciatively.
Mark turned out to be an incredible flyer. Katie compared his talent to the Weasley twins which made Mark beam. Mark definitely made the team.
A skinny second year girl that looked sort of familiar was next. For her size, you would think that she wasn't strong, but she swung the bat and broke the target giving Harry a delighted flight as it almost ploughed into his stomach. "What's your name" Harry asked her.
"Amy Wood" she replied with a smile. Harry and Katie looked at each other "Oliver's sister.... talent runs in the family" Katie said finally. "Congratulations, you made the team"
"YES!" said the girl throwing a fist in the air.
Cara and Ginny were obviously the best chasers in the crowd, although a lot of them were very good too.
"We seem to have a star team" Harry said to everyone. "I am looking forward to working with you all. We will train very hard and keep up the winning streak that Oliver and Angelina left behind. How about a practice tomorrow morning at 9 am"
Amy gave Harry a look "What about seven. We can train two more hours that way"
"I see something else runs in the family" Katie whispered to Harry.
Harry looked at her and nodded. "We'll practice at eight, get some sleep and eat a good breakfast so we can make our first practice a good ones. See you tomorrow morning"
"And if you want to join the inter-house halftime show, please meet here at 1pm" Cara added.
