Chapter Seven- Bid-Itch!
"Let's play Bid-Itch! It is the newest Wizarding sport, I will be the referee and teacher of this subject. The name's Professor Poof."
The class moreorless nodded, just interested in what this game was all about.
Professor Poof continued, "This is a sport played on brooms. It consists of six beaters, no seekers, no keepers, and no chasers. It has no quaffle, bludger, or snitch. Instead, the beaters will be yanking their bats at the opposing team, to stop them from hitting your Center. The Center's job is to stay protected by his or her fellow teammates. Any questions?"
Several students raised their hands.
"How many beaters go in to offense and hurt their opposing Center?"
"Up to the captain," Poof answered simply looking shocked that anyone would ask that.
"Is most of the game up to the captain?"
"Yes. If the captain makes a play up, then everyone else has to follow it."
"Who chooses the captain?"
"Why me, of course."
"When can we start playing?" Ginny finally asked.
"Right now, just get a broom, we got new Zero 2000s, so practice on those."
"I always wanted to ride a Zero," Ron commented to Harry.
"Who wouldn't?" Harry asked.
"Dunno, but I'm just saying..."
"Tryouts are this afternoon." Poof finished and turned to go back in. But the students were way too excited to go in. Everyone chatted about it for ages.
Ginny Weasel ended out racing everyone. Only to win several times. Ron and Harry tied a few times, but Harry won slightly more than him. Not to everyone's surprise, Hermione wasn't riding a broom well at all.
Hermione finally confessed, "The reason I tried out is to get into Wizarding sports."
"We kinda figured that," Harry said, as Ron just grinned and said...
"We are gonna make the team!"
"You know it!" Ginny Weasel smiled at everyone and pulled her hair out of a ponytail.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Here are the results for the Gryffindor team!" Poof yelled out to the group of students, "Here's the list of beaters... first is Ms. Hermione Granger!" Harry, Ron, and Ginny grinned at each other, pleased to see a change in Hermione.
"Second beater...." Poof continued is Mr. Hairy Potter!" (Yes, Hairy, not Harry.) Ron gasped, because he was just so shocked, Harry was like, the best and fastest player, and he was a beater?
"He was stronger," Poof explained at the gaping crowd.
"Third beater is..." Poof grinned, "Mr. Ron de Weasel!"
"It's Ron the Weasel!" Ron corrected, though pleased he made the team.
"Whatever," Poof said, obviously caring, "The next pair of beaters is... Forge and Gred de Weasels!"
"The Weasels!" Forge and Gred said.
"Whatever," everyone yelled. They were way too impatient and were waiting for Poof to call their names, incorrectly.
"And the center," Poof said finally, "Is..."
"Professor Poof!" Colin said racing across the Bid-Itch field, "My brother broke his leg, both ams, and neck because of a Bid-Itch injury!"
"Later," Poof smirked, "This is more important!"
"Draco Malfoy!" Poof yelled.
"What?!" Hairy yelled back at her, "He's not a Gryffindor."
"For your information," Poof glared, "I gestured to him to stop hexing that first-year!"
"The center for Gryffindor, is actually... Ms. Ginny de Weasel!" Nobody bothered correcting that. Ron laughed, imagining for a second what it would be like if Draco switched places with Ginny for a day!
"The team for Slytherin is..." Poof blabbed on and on, but the Gryffindors sneaked off to celebrate, and practice, with their new captain, whose brown eyes flashed across her face.
"So..." Ron grinned, "What's the latest team tactic, Hermione?" She became captain for brains and skill, not just plain old luck.
"I've been thinking of using psychology to trick the opposing players."
"More easily said, than done." Ginny grinned too, "Let's practice now!" How could anyone have argued with that? Hermione shoots the narrator.
"It's 2 AM, how can we?"
"Actually, I was thinking of going back into time, but that doesn't sound like the brightest idea," Ginny smiled loyally at Hermione and waited for a reply.
