An Forgotten Past
Practice then dinner at the weasley's house.
Harry woke he next morning refreshed and prepared for a day of hard training with the team. He ate a fine breakfast prepared by Dobby, who he made sure to thank, and apperated to the English national stadium where Mr.Bagman and a few members of the team members were waiting, making idle chit chat, but fell silent when Harry apperated. Harry felt everyone's eyes but Fred and Georges drift to his scar.
"oh come on. If you want to ogle at a scar, I'll just go get the bludger already" Fred said and added "nice to see you Harry. I'm glad we're playing together once again."
Harry smiled at his joke and his warm welcome "let's just hope you two aren't as bad as you were back in Hogwarts" he joked
"ha, ha, ha. That's so funny, I almost forgot to laugh" George said "just get in the air already numbskull. It's time we start practicing" he said and the team as well as Mr. Bagman agreed with this.
"Before you do though, I have to cast a spell on all of you. You see, for the best quality quidditch playing, you must be able to read each others minds, so I'm going to make that possible…for the whole next week…and then maybe even longer providing how much you've improved by next week." Mr. Bagman said and without second warning, cast the spell on all of them
I always thought that professional players played so well that it must be through telepathy, but I was never actually serious, Harry thought yeah. Really. I know the feeling, a woman's voice said, or rather thought. Harry looked around thinking he would find the source of his voice and saw the girl he recognized as Alice Barr idlely waving at him, signaling that it was her talking to him telepathically.
Suddenly, Harry was bombarded by the team's thoughts, and eventually couldn't hear his own thoughts. "SHUT UP!" he screamed, which silenced them for a moment, but the thoughts soon rose again.
"By now, you're probably thinking of killing each other for invading your thoughts. However, this drill is necisary to keep your thoughts on quidditch, and even organize your thoughts together to play better. You will be thankful come the first game." It seemed to Harry that he was the only who keep his thoughts to himself though, and he certainly couldn't see himself being thankful for this in any future. "you will try coming up with quidditch strategies together in your practice today……Begin" Mr. Bagman said calmly, obviously not aware of how annoyed Harry was.
They practiced until it got dark out, and thankfully by then, they were better at organizing their thoughts, but Harry couldn't ignore some of the thoughts that he had encountered in his training. As Harry went to the ground, Fred and George put their thumb next to their ears and pinky next to their mouths to signal that Harry should call them. They earlier joked through thought that they wanted to have sex with Harry, and Harry shuddered at the thought.
Fred and George stopped joking though and came to Harry "err…Harry. Mum knows that you've resurfaced now, and she's invited you, or rather leaves you with no option, but to come home with George and I and have dinner with us" Fred said
"I'd love to come." Harry said and apperated with Fred and George to the burrow, thinking about Ginny, forgetting that the whole quidditch team was eavesdropping on his thoughts. Please. Not so much detail man. Some of us don't have a girlfriend, and you're making us envious…and down right sick as well, Brian O'Connor said, snapping Harry out of his thoughts err…sorry. Say…why don't I try and hook you up with someone if you since you need a girlfriend, Harry offered. There were no thoughts for a few seconds sure. Why not? Might as well trust you since we're going to be on the same quidditch team, but good luck finding a girl that wants to be with me Brian said. Allright then. I accept your challenge. I'll find you a girlfriend. In the process, I guess we can become friends, Harry said.
Harry then went inside the burrow, trying his best not to think for the sake of the quidditch team. He was instantly greeted by Mrs. Weasley, who supprisngly hadn't changed much. She was a bit plumper and had a lot of gray hairs now. She also had a few bags under her eyes, but there was a certain twinkle in her eyes that reminded Harry of Dumbledore. I guess all old nice people have that, he thought and chuckled inwardly.
"It's nice to see you too Mrs. Weasley" Harry said and laughed
"All those rumors of you being dead. I was worried sick for years. The last I heard of you was that you won the Dark Tournament, and then 'poof' no one ever hears of you again" she said
Harry comforted her "well I'm here now" he said and smiled
"oh. You remind me of your father so much" Mrs. Weasley said letting him go "no wonder you were put in Gryffindor"
Mrs. Weasley's cries obviously roused the rest of the house to Harry's entrance. Mr. Weasley was the first to come, who had to take a double take at Harry
"Harry. Harry, my boy. Always a pleasure" he said wringing Harry's hand. Mr. Weasley hadn't changed much either, but he also had a few gray hairs as well as an eye twinkle. His infatuation for muggles seemed to have increased ten fold though, seeing as how Mr. Weasley was playing a handheld video game. Taking Harry's notice of this Mr Weasley said "I've taken a notice to the video games that muggles have. They seem to bring a lot of Muggles together. Just a few months ago, I went to a Halo world tournament. I'm quite good"
"Good for you Mr. Weasley. I'm glad you've found a way to connect more with muggles" he said
You're kidding. You know Arthur "wizard" Weasley? He's a pro Halo Player. I never took him to actually be a wizard. I thought he just gave himself that title because it's cool, Chris Fields said, causing Harry to crack up, not being able to say anything but "Arthur wizard Weasley", which confused the Weasleys
"How did you know that I'm Arthur 'wizard' Weasley?" Mr. Weasley asked.
Before Harry could give a false answer though, Ginny came down the stairs eating ice cream, and noticing Harry, threw her ice cream on the stairs and went to hug Harry, and smother him in kisses.
"I'msogladyoucouldmakeitIreallywantedyoutobewithmetonight" she said really fast, but Harry could understand her nonetheless.
"Err…why wouldn't I come?" he asked a bit confused
She glared at him for a second, and just continued smothering him in kisses "Let the man breathe Ginny" Ron said entering through the door. "Nice to see you again Harry" he said nodding as a gesture of welcome.
Ginny let go of him after making sure he had plenty of kisses to let him speak with Ron "yeah. And nice to see you've finally stopped growing" Harry said and laughed
Ron's ears turned red, and he mumbled undistinguishable words, but gave up after a while and decided to ask when dinner will be.
"Typical. All you think about is food and-"
Mr. Weasley loudly cleared his thoat warningly as a signal that she shouldn't say anymore. Mrs. Weasley was quiet thus foreward, but glared nice and long at Ron before returning to making dinner.
Harry heard someone coming down the stairs again and moved torward them to try and get a better view of who was coming down. He suddenly saw their foot about to make contact with the ice cream that Ginny had left there, and they slipped. Thankfully the fall from there to the bottom of the stairs wasn't too long, and Harry stayed at the bottom of the stairs to try and catch them. It turned out it was Hermione, and she fell right on top of Harry, causing him to fall on the ground with her over him in a very sexual position.
"oh Harry. You saved my life…for what…the sixth time in the time that we've known each other, and never have I once properly thanked you. Well…I guess now is my chance." She said and moved her hand over his penis, giving him an instant erection.
"Hermione…I have a girlfriend" he said blushing furiously
"Don't mind her, Harry. After Hogwarts, she revealed her true…perverted self. All those years of pent up sexual frustration. I certainly don't blame the girl" Fred said.
Harry moved himself from under Hermione, causing her to frown "well if you won't have me, don't you at least have any friends that will?" she asked desperately
You better tell her about me, dammit, Brian said to Harry "Err…now that you do mention it, I do have a friend that would want you. His name is Brian O'Connor. He's a chaser on the national English quidditch team" he said sweatdropping
"You'll have to take me to your next training session then. I can't wait to meet him" she said seductively, which cause uneasy silence which was broken by Mrs. Weasley calling them for dinner.
Bill, Fleur, and Charlie were already at the table awaiting the others. They quickly greeted Harry and then brang in the food. They had a pleasant dinner learning how Harry got involved with quidditch. Harry learned that Mr. Weasley was now the head of the new department of Muggle Relations, and that Percy was the head of the department of Magical Relations. Percy had finally apologized to his family, but still preferred not to be involved with them much. Work always came first to Percy.
After dinner, Harry and Ginny spent some time alone to talk and snogg. But Harry was finally forced to bid everyone good night, and went home, where he found Neville and Dobby asleep. Harry quietly went to his own bed and quickly talked with Brian My friend Hermione is going to be meeting you at our next practice. She's perverted though. I hope you don't mind he said, which Brian responded to with You kidding? I love em perverted. Anyway. Good night all Brian said to Harry as well as the other team mates. They all bid each other good night and went to sleep.
