Trying Out

Harry/Oliver

Harry tightened his grip on his broomstick as his gaze fell on the snitch. He wasn't the only Seeker on the pitch; there were three others trying out for the team and from the corner of his eye, he spotted someone else flying in that direction.

Leaning forward, Harry sped up. He had been circling the pitch with two sightings so far. His eyes were locked onto the snitch, watching it carefully to make sure it didn't disappear from sight once again.

The other Seeker reached the snitch at the same time as Harry, but the snitch had already dived for the ground. Harry and the Seeker quickly followed. Harry was reminded of his first Quidditch match as the other Seeker pulled up, and he followed the Snitch into a low dive, pulling up at the last moment, almost skimming the grass as he followed.

He knew that the other Seeker was flying just a little higher, and had to catch the snitch before it went skyward once more, as the other Seeker would have a chance once again.

Relief flowed through him as his fingers closed around the small ball.

"Well done, Harry," Oliver said, landing next to him and and ignoring the rest of the players.

"Hey Oliver," Harry replied, smiling at him. "How did I do?"

"I think you've gotten better since Hogwarts, impressive. With you on the team, we could get to finals this year!"

"You talk like I've already got on the team," Harry said, grinning as Oliver threw an arm around his shoulders.

"Well... rules state that we have a team meeting after the match, but you were much better than the rest of them," Oliver said, leading him from the pitch. "I wouldn't be surprised if my team wanted to sign you today."

Harry grinned. "I hope so," he said.

"I could see they were all impressed with you," Oliver replied.

"I'm going to go and change now," Harry replied, noticing the team looking over.

Oliver's arm dropped and Harry felt Oliver slap his arse as he turned away. "Good game," he said. Harry turned to look at him, but Oliver had already started to walk over to his team-mates.

Thankfully Oliver hadn't see the blush that had appeared on Harry's cheeks.

Puddlemere weren't the only team with a Seeker spot open but it wasn't just the position that Harry was after. He was after something else! Ever since the twins mentioned that Percy and Oliver had dated for a month back in school, Harry knew he could be in with a chance… hopefully.

But, Harry knew he had to get Oliver's attention and the number one way to do so was through Quidditch. Sirius had been the one to suggest that Harry join the same team and Sirius was the relationship expert, he had been in a relationship for forever, after all.

All Harry knew was that if he made the team, he'd be spending a lot of time with Oliver Wood.
