SECOND YEAR:

"Lilia! Wake up!"

Lilia groaned and slowly opened her eyes to see her cousins Ric and Arthur standing by her bedside. "What do you guys want? It's Saturday!"

"It's also Quidditch team tryout day."

She leapt out of bed, ran over to her closet, pulling out a pair of sweat pants and a T-shirt. "I'll be down in like two seconds."

Arthur and Ric left the room and she quickly changed, grabbed her broom (a Firebolt 440) and ran out into the Common room. She and her cousins ran down to the pitch.

Amanda and Griff were already there. Amanda was going for chaser and Griff was going for beater.

Ric stood at the front of the group, which consisted of Amanda, Griff, Lilia and a few others. "Hi. If you don't know me, I'm Ric Weasley. I'm not the team captain, but my cousin is too lazy to be here, and passed the responsibility on to me. As your first test, I want you all to take a few laps around the pitch. Ready? GO!"

They took off flying together until eventually the group stretched out. Lilia and Griff were at the front. After a few more tests, Ric brought them down.

When the group landed, Ric made a few notes on a clip board, then said "Okay, for those of you who's names I call, go over to the other side of the pitch where Arthur is. Arthur! Wave or something!" Arthur looked up and gave them the finger. Ric rolled his eyes and continued by calling out names. Lilia, Griff and Amanda were among the group that went to the other side of the pitch.

"Okay. I want you all to tell me your name and year, and then I'll tell you what position you're best for. Griff was added to the list of perspective beaters and Amanda was added to the c chasers.

"Lilia Potter, second year."

"Seeker." Arthur read off the list.

"Seeker? I can't play seeker!

"What do you mean? You're the daughter of Harry Potter!"

"I don't want to be the Daughter of Harry Potter! I don't care that my dad was practically the greatest seeker that ever lived or that he defeated Voldemort repeatedly beginning at age one! I just want to be Lilia Potter!"

"Okay! fine! but you can still be seeker!"

"No I can't"

"Why not? The seeker's the best! You can fly the fastest and the highest..."

"I'm afraid of heights."

Arthur sighed. "Hey Ric, Come here!" Ric walked over and they spoke softly for a moment. "Okay lil. Come with us." They mounted their brooms waiting for Lilia to do so and took off in a steep ascent. Lilia started to turn back, but they grabbed onto her broom and dragged her higher and higher into the air. Finally they stopped and forced Lilia to open her eyes and look down.

She stared around in wonder. "Wow."

"You think you can deal with the height?" Ric asked. Lilia nodded. "Okay then. Welcome to the team."

"Wait. What?"

"Okay. Look at it like this. There's only one other candidate for seeker, and in reality I haven't seen him fly much, but judging by the way to play at the Burrow, I think you're in."

"Cool."

"Okay. Now here's the fun part."

"What part is that?"

Ric smiled mischievously, something he had learned from his uncles Fred and George. "Getting down." Letting go of her broom he and Arthur pulled into steep dives, Lila close behind.
