Quidditch!

Disclaimer- All Harry Potter things are JK Rowling's, and all things Charmed are, well... Charmed's!

A/n- Ok I just have a few things to say to a few people:
Lily- no he won't die
Mad- of course! u shall be there.

Harry gulped. I've been so close to death before. And if Voldemort isn't even going to be there, then how would I die?

Harry, there's more to it than that... Wendy said, biting her lip.

Is there something you aren't telling me?

Yes! Harry, the Elders only think they know where the Sword is. They might not even be right. We definitely won't be able to orb there. I know that it's protected by a lot of powerful magic, but not bad magic. I'm not saying it's impossible, Harry. I'm just saying that you may not make it to the end. Wendy looked very concerned.

You don't think I know that? Harry was getting angry. Did Wendy think that he couldn't do this? I'm just looking out for the safety of all my fellow students here, and my friends. I don't want Voldemort to get this. I will defeat him! Harry was almost yelling.

Shh! Shh! I'm just, well, worried and... Wendy grabbed Harry and enveloped him in a giant bear hug. Oh, Harry! I just don't want you to die. I care for you so much, and, Harry, why are you pointing to your neck? Is your face turning purple or is it just me? OH! Wendy let go, to Harry's delight.

Harry was panting. (more gasps) I can do this, Wendy. Don't hold me back, Harry said with determination.

I won't. I promise. Wendy simply smiled at Harry, who smiled right back. Oh, shit! You're late for Potions. I'll give you a pass. Wendy wrote up a nice excuse about helping her with some of Wendy's magical items and that Professor Dumbledore had already approved. harry grabbed the note and was off.

When Harry stepped into the Potions dungeon, all the students and Snape turned to look at him. So, Mr. Potter decided to join us, Snape snarled out.

I have an excuse, Professor, Harry replied as he handed the slip of paper to Snape. Snape glanced at it and begin to laugh.

Professor Halliwell! I'm sure your time was well spent. Professor Halliwell knows no more than the rest of those Dark Arts professors. I am the only true Dark Arts professor, but will Dumbledore hire me? NOOO! He keeps on hiring these psychotic maniacs... Oh you may take your seat now Mr. Potter. Hurry up!

Now all the Gryffindors were staring at Snape, the Slytherins were staring at Potter, and Draco Malfoy was staring at his new girlfriend, Madylin. She was a transfer from this wizard school in the United States, and Harry and Ron ahd to admit– she was very attractive. Though, they did think it was quite disgusting how Malfoy and Madylin were all over each other constantly. It was very gross.

There wasn't much time in Potions, so Harry didn't have much to do before everyone left. Now it was lunch time, and Harry was indeed hungry. Ron and Hermione wanted to know what happened to Harry when he was with Wendy, so they ate very quickly and found an empty classroom.

Wow, I'm still in kind of a shock... Harry began.

Tell us what happened, please! Hermione persisted. Ron looked at Harry eagerly.

Harry let out a deep breath. Ok, here it goes. Harry began to tell them about the Elders council and his quest and the Sword. When he was finished, Ron the Hermione looked at him in awe.

The heir of Gryffindor? Harry, this is really big, Ron was the first to speak.

How dangerous is this journey, Harry? I think we should go with you, Hermione said.

NO! You can't come with me. I must do this alone! Harry was getting angry. Why doesn't anyone think I can do this?

No, it's not that Harry. We are just looking out for you, Hermione replied.

Just at this moment, the door suddenly swung open, two people who were giggling stumbled in.

Potter! Get out of here! It was Malfoy and Madylin. This is our snogging spot!

Eww, go find another room, Malfoy, Ron's face was in disgust.

So what are you gonna do about it? Madylin finally said something, her American accent standing out.

No, Madsi, we can leave. Give Potter his space. Big celebrity's need all the time alone they can get! At this, Malfoy and Madylin began to laugh, and Harry and Ron were glaring. Madylin and Malfoy soon walked away, still laughing.

Suddenly, blue lights swirled everywhere. I don't get it. It wasn't that funny, Wendy was saying. And thanks for telling Ron and Hermione about your quest for me, Hare Bear. It would have taken me decades!

I know... Harry replied.

Lunch is almost over, so you better get to your next class. I've got a bunch of Ravenclaw first years. This ought to be fun, Wendy said with a smirk.

Come on guys, we have Care of Magical Creatures with the Hufflepuffs.

The next day, Harry woke up early. He had a strange dream, but all he could remember was a bright light and an explosion. He also remembered that he was lying on the ground, and he was covered in dirt. He couldn't remember much more, so he got up and dressed.

As he meandered his way down to breakfast, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Katie Bell confronted him. Katie called in a sing-song voice,it's almost time for Quidditch season to start.

Angelina added, And we've decided that you are the new captain!

Harry was shocked. Captain? What do the Weasley's have to say?

They were arguing over themselves being captains, but three beats two. So when are we holding Quidditch tryouts? Alicia asked.

Whoa! This is all so fast, Harry needed some time to think. Well, next week, I guess...
Excellent. Alert all the Gryffindors then. Then as fast as they had appeared, they had vanished.

Harry wandered the rest of the way down to the Great Hall and sat down next to Seamus.
Ron and Hermione were across from him, and Ginny just sat down at his other side. Ok, I've just been appointed Captain of the Quidditch team and tryouts for Keeper are next week.

Cool! You're Captain. I knew this would happen, Ron was smiling, and Hermione was too. Ginny seemed to be looking someplace else Isn't that cool, Ginny? Ron added.

What? Oh, yeah. Very cool. Harry, Hermione, and Ron exchanged glances. Suddenly, George and Fred sprinted in the room, almost running into Professor McGonagall.

Harry! You were supposed to say that you would make me the captain! Fred yelled out.

No he didn't! He said he'd make me captain! George yelled back.

Hold it. I didn't say anything about that, Harry was getting agitated. Just then Wendy came by. Wendy tell Fred and George that they need to stop fighting.

We aren't fighting! Fred hollered.

Yes we are!

No we aren't!

Whoa whoa whoa! Wendy was Getting angry also. So I hear you're captain Harry!
(everyone groans...)

That next week, Harry had been out practicing with his new broom and Quidditch set. The Shry 2007 was quite a bit faster than the Firebolt, and, if at all possible, was much smoother on the turns. Today was the day for Quidditch tryouts, and Harry was ready. He and the rest of the team had gone over guidelines of what they were looking for.

After a few minutes of setting up everything, Gryffindors began to arrive. Among some of them, Ron Weasley. Harry already knew how well Ron played, and was sure he would do well compared to the others. Harry recognized a few other faces only as younger years. Then, one more very familiar face cam around the corner. Ginny Weasley, broom in hand.
Ron exclaimed. What the hell are you doing here?

Trying out. I think that's the point of a try-out. Ginny said back.

Ron was in shock. Harry had to go tell him to close his mouth before he looked stupid, which of course, was too late.

Soon the tryouts had begun. Harry had everyone do a few laps around the field to get a feel for how they could fly. Then he had them doing some diving saves, catching and throwing exercises, and a few other drills. During these drills, the erst of the team was taking notes and recording what they saw and liked. When the tryouts were over, Harry called the team together.

Ok, let me have a look at everyone's notes, Harry said. Alicia, Angelina, and Katie all handed over their clipboards with mostly the same comments. Harry looked at what Fred and George had, and just stared. You weren't supposed to write these type of notes!

Fred and George had written things like:
Potter is hotter under the sun,
His feet are not smelly, like a hot sticky bun
and
Isn't Alicia cute? Should I ask her out?
Sure. Ha! Did you just see Ron run into the pole?
Hahahahahahaha.

You two are psychotic. Katie said.

You two are insane. Angelina said

You want to ask me out? Alicia said.

Yeah, you wanna? Fred asked.

She said back.

Ok, if we're done with the romance! Thank-you. Finally, we need to decide on someone. Harry explained. Everyone had cast their votes, and Harry was ready to announce them. He called everyone over to the center of the field. I would lik eto start by thanking all of you who came, and this was a tough decision to make. I needed the help of all my team members (coughs from Fed and George), help from THREE team members to come to our decision. The new Gryffindor Keeper is................Ginny Weasley! Ron's mouth dropped again, and Ginny looked smug.
Harry whispered. you're doing it again. Ron began to drool.

Ginny? Weasley? I've been beat by...my...my.....MY SISTER! Ron cried.

Ron, chill out. It's just Ginny.



George and Fred came by. Awww. Ickle-Ronnikins lost to his wittle bitty sister, Fred joked.

The next day, Harry was just leaving Defense Against the Dark Arts, when Wendy handed him an envelope.

Harry, it's from Dumbledore, she whispered. Harry nodded, and opened it slowly. It read:
Harry–

You must come to my office this evening. There is something we need to address. The password is Shuckles.' Wear your invisibility cloak!

~Albus Dumbledore

I think I know what he wants to talk about Harry... Wendy said with worry.

Please review! I hope you liked how this chapter was longer. ok... Until the next chapter!
