365 Days of Drabbles Challenge: Prompt Used – Traitor
Edgar watched the Slytherin practice. The Malfoy kid kept looking for the snitch, but he wasn't very good at it. Edgar had already seen it three times, and Malfoy just kept missing it.
He shook his head. He watched all of the house teams practice, and Potter was definitely the best current Seeker.
Still, he did his best to help all of the teams. He never gave any one team more help than the others. That was why no one deemed him a traitor. He might see who was more talented and had a chance to play professional, but he made sure he wasn't thought to be playing favorites.
He remembered what it was like to play Quidditch. If he missed anything from being alive, it was the game. He had been a great player, and when he flew in the sky, searching for the snitch, he always felt so free, as if his problems melted away. He had seen a similar look of euphoria pass over Potter's face as he flew and knew the Gryffindor felt the same way.
His death might have taken place during a Quidditch game, but he never blamed the sport. It was his own carelessness that caused it. He had to make sure future generations learned to be careful. He also needed to make sure they respected the sport as much as he did; that was why he returned to Hogwarts, where his love for the sport started.
He watched over them, teaching them not only to be careful, but how to respect and enjoy the sport as well.
