Disclaimer: Umm, I don't own anything except for the new students, and the
two new Chasers on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and I think that's it.

Ch. 4-- Quidditch Tryouts
Harry woke up the next morning to see that he was the only one left in the dormitory. He quickly got dressed, and went down to the Great Hall to meet Ron and Hermione for breakfast.
"What took you so long?" asked Ron, with his mouth full of food (as usual), "When I got up you were still sound asleep."
"Well, I-" Harry started, but was cut off because just then Fleur (now Professor Delacour) walked up to him and asked for a word. Ron looked jealous.
She pulled him away from the house tables and asked, "Ow aff you been Arry?" (A/N: I tried to make Fleur sound French, but I don't think it turned out too well...)
"Um, fine" he replied.
"Zis is kind of embarrassing for moi, but could you elp me wif zings during class? Because you did vin the Triwizard Tournament." she told him.
"Uh, sure. Just as long as it doesn't interfere with my Potions class. Sn-Professor Snape would kill me." Harry said.
"D'accord." Fleur replied (A/N: for all you non-French speakers/takers (people who take French I mean) out there, d'accord means OK in French), Merci, Arry! Harry then walked back to the Gryffindor table, and sat down again.
"What was that all about?" Hermione asked, puzzled.
"She said she wants me to help her during her classes sometimes." said Harry.
"Why?" asked Ron and Hermione, simultaneously.
"Because I beat her at the Triwizard Tournament," said Harry, while giving them the look that said duh.
Ron gave him a quizzical look. "But then why is she the teacher?"
"I dunno, but-" Harry tried to say, but was this time cut off by Dumbledore.
"I have a few announcements to make regarding Quidditch. The first is that everyone who was kicked off their house teams last year because of the now ex-Professor Umbridge, now has the opportunity to become part of the team again. This leads me to my second announcement, which is that Quidditch tryouts will be held for second years and up, on Wednesday after classes. I know this is early, but I have my reasons for making Quidditch earlier this year. That is all the announcements for today."
"So you going for it Harry? I'm still on the team, so I'll be there when you try out." Ron reminded him.
"Uh, thanks Ron." said Harry.
"Welcome," said Ron, though he looked like he was more interested in the food.
Wednesday came rather quickly for Harry. Nothing had really happened over the last few days, except that Harry had found that his new advanced classes were much harder than his regular ones, but it was OK since Hermione was in most of them. Ron was in a few of his classes, so some of the time, Harry was alone (at least he thought he was) in class.
After class on Wednesday, Harry grabbed his Firebolt, and headed down to the Quidditch pitch. He headed off to where Katie was, and waited for the rest of the other students to come. When they were all there, Katie stood up and said,
"Hi everyone, I'm Katie Bell, and I"m this year's Gryffindor team captain. We already have a Keeper, a Chaser, and two Beaters. If you haven't figured it out already we need two Chasers and a Seeker. The Keeper is Ron Weasley, the beaters are Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper, and I'm the Chaser. Will all of you who are trying out for a Chaser please stand here, and everyone for Seeker stand here."
First the Chasers tried out. Their task was to score on Ron, and then to see how well they could dodge the other players. Then the Seekers. They had to get the Snitch as quickly as they could, while dodging many obstacles. Harry was by far the fastest for the Seekers, so he was hoping he got the position. Harry went to bed that night extremely nervous because tomorrow they would find out who made the team.
Harry had slept very badly that night, so the next morning he got up around 7:00. He got dressed and went over to the bulletin board outside the common room. he looked at the list of new positions: Chasers:
Ginny Weasley
Elijah Curkston
Harry was not surprised to see Ginny's name on the list. She was a superb chaser. he then looked down at the Seeker part. It said...
HAHA!!!! CLIFFIE!!! (I'm evil) you'll have to see who makes it! Anyway, I hope you like this chapter. I know it's short (I wrote most of it in an hour and during English class) but I really wanted to update again. Plz Review!! P.S. A cookies to people who can tell me what Fleur means in French! (NO CHEATING!!!) Plz R&R!!
