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…
Their first Quiddich practice was great. Both Amy and Mark turned out to be amazing beaters and they were so well behaved when it came to following Harry's directions. Because of them, none of the bludgers came close to them, though one did "accidentally" almost hit Draco Malfoy (who they realized were spying on them) in the arm. "Woops, SORRY!" Mark said sarcastically at Malfoy before flying off.
Cara and Ginny taught the rest how to do spins on their brooms in the air.
"Dad taught me how to do it correctly. He used this move when he was younger and it always succeeded in confusing the heck out of the other team. When you have the quaffle and/or want to confuse someone, this is a very practical move.... no Ron, remember what I taught you about spotting."
Cara took his head in her hands and his ears turned beat red. "Ok Ron, move your body around but don't stop looking at me until your body is completely turned. Then whip your head around" She had him do it slowly until he understood the concept of spotting. "Very good Ron! You got it perfectly"
"You're a great teacher Cara" Ron said beaming back at her.
"I don't think she needed to tell him to keep looking at her" Harry whispered to Ginny who laughed. "I know" she said back to him. Harry worked with the beaters on their speed and accuracy and Ron worked with the chasers. Harry could even catch the snitch WHILE he worked with the beaters. Harry was tired, but it was very fulfilling to know that his Quiddich team was really good this year. Harry changed back into his other clothes while Ron and Cara continued to work on spotting. He met Hermione for lunch.
Hermione seemed to be waiting there for him. She looked very anxious about something and a feeling of worry came over Harry's face.
"What's wrong" Harry asked putting a hand on her shoulder. "Are you worried about seeing your parents, because you know I will always be there for you."
"I need you to teach me how to fly Harry. I need to learn because it will change the morale of Hogwarts students. It will give everyone hope. Harry, I want to be a major part of that"
Harry looked at his best friend in shock. Every time she got on a flying object or animal, she panicked. She was terrified riding both the hippogriff and the threstral. Now she wanted to ride on a broom. Hermione was definitely full of surprises.
"I will teach you if you want" he told her with a smile. "The first meeting is later today." "Where's Ron and Cara" she asked Harry laughed. "On the Quiddich court. Cara is teaching Ron her moves"
After lunch, Harry, Hermione, Neville Semeaus, Ginny and Dean walked up to the Quiddich court. Everyone there, broke out into private conversation. Cara and Ron was handing out brooms from her huge pile. The brooms were brand new and the handles were multicolored. They were one of the most beautiful things that Harry ever saw. Cara had a broom that that seemed to glow in the same purple as her eyes.
"Dad made these brooms in his factory with the help of his dedicated house elves. " Cara explained. "WHAT!!!" Hermione said angrily shoving the broomstick back at Cara. "I am taking no part of something where I ride broomstick made on enslaved house elf labor!!!"
"Oh" said Cara with a hurt look on her face. "Dad paid them and they only worked when they wanted"
"How much?" Hermione asked suspiciously. "A galleon a day spending money and all of their needs met" Cara answered back. "We were all for house elf liberation"
"Really... because I'm starting a "Society of the Promotion of Elfish Welfare" Hermione said considerably warmer toward Cara now knowing she believes in the same cause as she does.
"That is so cool Hermione. I am completely for the equality of all magical and non-magical creatures" Cara said back to her. "I'm hoping that everyone will agree to promote messages about overall equality and not just being against discrimination of blood"
Soon, about thirty six more members of the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff houses came to the meeting. They all sat on the ground in and attentively looked up at Cara and Ginny.
Cara motioned to Dean and Ron and Colin Creevy to come up with them. Dean held several large rolls of parchment. Ron helped him unroll it and when it did, it portrayed a moving picture. Everyone was on their brooms flying around happily together. When suddenly, a very comedic picture of the dark mark flew into the air. The skull was dressed like a hippie, smoking from the ears and choking on the snake. The peoplebroke into three. One part formed a bird, flying at him, but the snake bit the bird in the wing and the bird fell. Then another third formed a badger, but it was struck down also. The lion was struck down too after it's fighting battle. The dark mark grew bigger and bigger as it defeated each three individual houses. All of a sudden, an image of a phoenix flew above and dropped on each part of the houses. It burned into flames and the image vanished. The fallen bird, badger and lion formed a baby phoenix which flew up to the dark mark. an image opened it's mouth and a note escaped it's mouth. (represented by a person) and went through the image of the dark mark shattering it. Then there was celebrating and dancing. With their bodies, they formed.
Be stronger and united Than weaker and divided!
And then there were images of sparks and the show ended.
Everyone was amazed at what they just saw. "Dean, how on earth did you do that?!" Neville asked.
"When Ginny and Cara told me by the beginning of August, I got to work on it right away" he said in pride.
"It's wonderful" Ginny said giving her boyfriend a short kiss on the cheek.
"We have until November 8th to get this routine down." Cara said frantically. "Raise your hands if you have flown on a broomstick before."
Hermione and Neville were the only ones that didn't know how. Fulfilling his request from Hermione, Harry volunteered to teach them how to fly. Harry picked up one of Cara's brooms. Neville and Hermione did the same thing. "As we did in our first year. We are going to mount our brooms.... No Neville, don't tangle your feet just yet." Harry said demonstrating the proper way to mount.
"Now.." he continued. "The broom will do exactly what you tell it to. I promise. Lightly bend your knees, and go upwards...Hermione, if you bend you knees that far, you will go higher than you intend to at this moment."
The broomstick Harry was mounting glowed brightly. "Here, follow my lead."
Harry got on his broomstick, and slowly flew up ten feet.
"Now" he said as he went up in the air. "When you are up in the air tilt your broom down just a bit. It will follow what you tell it to do and you will go on the ground safely. Who wants to try it first?"
Neville saw that Hermione was hesitant, so he bravely raised his hand. When Harry told him to, he went off the ground, though he did fly thirty feet instead of ten. That caused Neville to get nervous and lean the broom in farther that he intended to also and he made a dive into the ground. Luckily, he had the sense to pull out just before he touched the ground. "Wow Neville" Harry said in amazement. "Nice dive! I don't think you meant to do that though. Would you like to try again?"
Neville got back on his broom and did it the correct way. It would have been perfect if he didn't trip when he got to the ground. "Great Job Neville. Really I mean it. You are working hard." Harry said sincerely. "Your turn Hermione"
Hermione bit her lip. She mounted her broom and lazily pushed off only taking her five feet higher that she was at the moment. She then very slowly turned her handle down and go on the ground. This whole process took five minutes. "Hermione" Harry said gently. "If you hang on tight, you won't fall. Let's do it again. I'll go up with you to catch you if you fall. Just try to keep up the pace with me."
Hermione looked over at Harry and nodded. She and Harry went up fifteen feet "Ok" Harry told her. "Good Job!" He flew over to where she was to the point where their shoulders touched. "Ok, bend your broomstick as fast and as low as I bend mine. You should do the exact same thing I do. Don't do anything else. You have to trust me." Harry said with a smile.
With a nervous nod, Hermione did what she was told and flew down at the exact same speed as Harry. She was able to retain her balance as she came onto the ground.
"Ok, both of you try it together without me" Harry said smiling. Both Neville and Hermione kicked off, and came down to the ground with ease. They mastered the move within fifteen minutes. Although Hermione was still nervous, she was way more confident. Soon with Harry's help, they were able to fly straight across the Quiddich field at a surprising rapid speed and height for people who had just got on broomsticks for the first time an hour ago. Everyone else stopped what they were doing. Harry began to teach them how to turn. That was a little bit more difficult owing to the fact that Neville almost slid off his broom and Hermione hung on for dear life every time she turned. Still it was better than they were before and Harry became incredibly amazed at how Hermione and Neville learned to fly in an hour and a half. They left to see what Cara was teaching the others and was glad to see that they haven't missed much. It was very hard to teach forty people the same routine and put them in the right places at the right time and it was getting close to dinnertime.
"Does anyone have any comments, questions or suggestions we all go."
Some of the boys started instantly to complain. "This is starting to seem like ballet... I don't want to be a wuss." Zacharaus Smith whined. Cara rolled her eyes. "We are promoting an anti-Voldemort, anti-discrimination statement. Besides, I was thinking you were a talented Quiddich player who could fly really well and you were one that could handle the tougher moves that you can't show off during quiddich games."
"Can I have a sword?" he asked her excitedly.
"Yes Zacharaus, you can have a sword" Cara said rolling her eyes
"Excuse me" said a fourth year. "When I was nine, I was involved in the dance team squad at my muggle school. The way we did it to make it easier is that the captain would teach the routine to a fraction of the people she delegated as leaders and the leaders taught their group the routine.
"That's an excellent idea" Cara said "Great thinking. If anyone interested in being a leader, please meet me on Wednesday after all classes. Great job for the first meeting everyone. "
Everyone who was really hungry by this time, raced towards the Great Hall for food. Dean picked Ginny up and ran with her.
It was just Ron, Cara, Harry and Hermione now.
"Are we going to have music at all for this" Hermione asked Cara Cara nodded. "My cousin is very musically talented. She graduated from Hogwarts last year from Ravenclaw and accompanies singers and acts during the "Chudley Cannons" half time shows. I asked her for a recording that we could use last night and she said she will have it written and done by next week."
"EXCELLENT!" Ron said excitedly. "Top class music" Ron's stomach began to grumble very loudly. "Let's go to dinner" he said offering his arm to Cara who took it with a smile. She started to skip and Ron followed (or at least tried to). Harry and Hermione walked slowly behind them.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Harry asked her. Hermione bit her lip and Harry saw a tear roll down her face. Harry saw that this was a bad conversation started. "You will be all right" he said giving her a one armed hug.
"You are such a great friend Harry" she said leaning her head on his shoulder.
For the rest of the walk back to the castle and through dinner, neither of them talked. Hermione gave her best friend Harry Potter a look of deep appreciation.
Harry laid out his best clothes for the trip to St. Mungo's tomorrow. He worried about how he could deal with being at St. Mungo's again and how he could support Hermione as she saw her parents in the hospital bed."
He looked at the watch with the picture of Sirius and his father. "Please help me" he thought desperately
