either.
Chapter 3- Team Tension
They were both third years. John was in Hufflepuff, smart and brave, but also menacingly mean. He could have been placed in any of the houses. Tall and thick he was the perfect build for a beater. Marry was also tall and strong though not as strong as her brother. Mary was very much the booksmarts type, this was obviously the reason she was a Ravenclaw.
The first day of practice Harry decided to talk to Mary and John about their family.
"Hello there." Harry said tentatively. "May I have a word with you two, in private?" He continued.
"Why, uhh, sure." The twins answered equally as tentative.
Harry proceeded to ask about their aunts and uncles. As he supposed they were the niece and nephew of uncle Vernon. However, Vernon had not spoken to their father since he found out he had married a witch. After Harry had finished with his questions, John had one of his own.
"Why are you so interested in our family?" John asked somewhat angrily.
Harry took a deep breath and replied, "I was raised by your uncle Vernon and aunt Petunia." Harry continued, "My mother was aunt Petunia's sister and I was sent to live with them after my parents death."
"We're related to Harry Potter!" Marry shrieked.
"I guess you could say that," Harry replied, "but only by marriage."
At this, the three went off to practice.
After watching Ron not allow a goal in tryouts for the first three weeks of practice, Krum decided the chasers needed some encouragement and put all six rings on one end of the pitch. This only emboldened Ron.
"Do you see that?" Ron asked Ginny, Draco, and Hermione, pointing at the six rings all together. "I bet you still won't score on me."
"We'll see about that Weasley." Draco quickly returned.
"Now boys," Hermione interrupted, sensing that this wasn't just playful boasting.
As it turned out Ron was right and no goals were scored in the first half hour of practice. Realizing his plan wasn't working Krum changed things up.
"Ron, I vill take offer as keeper." Krum stated," You try and giff Potter a vorkout vith the Snitch."
Ron begrudgingly complied. He knew it was for the betterment of the team. When practice ended the three chasers all felt better having finally scored.
"I vould like to make an announcement," Krum said as everyone was about to head to the locker room, "I haff decided that Herm-own-ninny vill be team captain."
Draco was shocked. He was sure that he would be team captain. He controlled the field and only Harry had more experience.
Mary was equally appalled. She had seen the way Krum looked at Hermione and thought the appointment as team captain was favoritism. Had Mary known of Hermione and Krum's previous relationship she would have been certain of favoritism.
After everyone changed, they headed back for dinner. Hermione straggled. "Hermione, are you coming?" Harry asked.
"No, I need to talk to Viktor." She replied quietly.
Malfoy had overheard," More like shag him." He whispered to Mary. They both started laughing. When suddenly Malfoy was grabbed from behind.
It was Harry. Spinning Draco quickly he said "She isn't team captain because of favoritism. She is team captain because she would ignore what you just said. Hermione can make decisions and solve problems better than anyone." Letting go of Draco, Harry added, "That is what makes a leader."
Dejected, Draco ran up to the rest of the group and proceeded into the Great Hall.
"Viktor," Hermione said softly while tapping him on the shoulder. "I need to ask you something."
"Yes, Herm-own-ninny." He replied.
She continued "Am I the reason you are coaching Hogwarts?"
"A part, yes, vhy?" Viktor responded apprehensively.
"Because, I don't think I can be captain then." Hermione said. After a brief silence she continued, "I don't think we should see each other either, I mean I still like you, but things have changed and I don't think it would be good for the team."
Thinking for a moment, slightly hurt Viktor replied, "I understand and I accept that. Hovever, you haff shown yourself to be a truer leader than I knew and you vill remain team captain. Now head off to dinner vill you."
