Disclaimer: I own nothing about Harry Potter, no characters, nothing. Probably not even this idea. It just hit me randomly...what is with me and getting hit with random ideas as I'm trying to sleep?
Note: Lee Jordan graduated last year (this takes place 6th year, so it's AU) but the Weasley twins still go to Hogwarts, because their mother made them. Oh, and I have no idea who is on the Slytherin team (except Malfoy) so I really won't mention them. Although I did add someone, whether he's on the team or not...
Colin Creevy and Quiditch
One day, half an hour before a Quiditch match (Gryffindor vs. Slytherin), the announcer (Neville Longbottom) had an unfortunate accident. He was working with some plants, completly forgetting he was supposed to meet with Prof. McGonagall. Now, that's bad enough, but he was working with a baby Madrake. Strangely enough, the madrake managed to knock off one of his magical earplugs (will keep sound out until you want to hear!), causing him to be petrified.
So they were short an announcer.
Of course, the only one who voluntered to fill in was Colin Creevy.
So there he was, sitting with a megaphone and ready to announce the game.
Slytherin came out first, then Gryffindor. He told everybody who was playing, as if they didn't already know. "...Weasley and Harry Potter! Just look at Harry fly. Wave Harry!" Colin raised his camera and started clicking away madly.
"Mr. Creevy! Don't make me confiscate that camera!" Prof. McGonagall roared.
"Sorry ma'am. Oh, look, Madame Hooch is releasing the balls! Aaaand the game has started! Well, Pritchard has the quaffle and-oh! Way to go Weasley! Weasley (Fred, I think) has hit a bludger at Pritchard, causing him to lose the quaffle. And Harry speeds by, looking for the snitch! Wow...he's so good at Quiditch...I wish I could be as good as him!" Colin spoke with a voice full of awe.
Harry shook his head and wondered why Colin was the Quiditch announcer.
Prof. McGonagall was slowly turning purple, and could not intervine.
"Harry Potter is one of the best seekers Hogwarts has seen in years! In fact, he's only ever lost a handful of games! Which is a much better track record then all the other House seekers. No offence, but Harry does keep beating yo-"
"MR. CREEVY! YOU ARE NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT HARRY POTTER! ANNOUNCE THE GAME!"
"Er, yes professor. Oh, look, Harry-"
"MR. CREEVY!"
"What professor? I was only going to say that he caught the snitch!"
And indeed he had, making the transfiguration teacher feel stupid.
At the next teachers meets, in was agreed upon that Mr. Colin Creevy (or any relatives of his) were never to be the announcer at any games when Harry Potter played.
So what did you think? Just some random drabble. I honestly don't know where any of this is coming from! Usually I just write romance! And since I am not a Colin/Harry shipper (though I have read one, at a friends request, called My Hero) this certainly isn't a romance... Oh well, I hope you enjoyed it anyway! If you're feeling kind (or even if you're not ) please leave a review! It will be appreciated!
