Ch.9
It is finally Saturday, I get down to the Quddicth feild and get everything set up. Once everyone gets here, I make an anoucnment.
"Alright, everyone listen up!" I yell they all shut up.
I look around and see some people that aren't from Gryffindor here. I look at them "Jake, Ryan you both aren't in Gryffindor get out of here." they leave
I look around again and see more people who aren't in Gryffindor too "Ok before we start anything, if you are not in Gryffindor house get out of here now!" about another ten students leave.
"Ok now I am going too put you all through some test, see what you can do. First we are going to start with the chasers. SO who ever is trying out for chaser, will you please get on your brooms and lets's get started."
We get through the chaser, beaters now it's time for the keepers try out. Ron is the last to try out, he is not doing very well, but he is doing good. Then it's Mcglaggen's turn, I have him do the same thing as Ron did. He miss two out of five shots, I blow the whistle and annouce who are new keeper is,
"Ron, will be Gryffindor's keeper. Thank you to all who tryed out, sorry if you didn't make the team maybe you will have better luck next year and I do hope that you all will still come to cheer us on.''
I start putting the stuff away and McGlaggen comes up to me
"I want to try out again."
"No, try outs are over."
"That's not fair, I did a way better job then him.''
"You miss two out of five shots!"
"He missed one, what's the big deal!"
"The big deal is that, those two shots could lose us the game. Look the best player, plays and your not the best.''
"His sister didn't even try on him.''
Ginny comes up behide me and sneers
"Actully, I gave him my hardest, he was able to block them, with you I went kind of easy. You deffently should have been able to block those two shots. You weren't even near the hoop I shot at. You ready Harry, it's almost dinner and I would like to freshen up before we go to dinner."
"Yeah, sorry but my decsions is final, Ron is the keeper.''
I turn and grab one of the handles on the trunk, Ginny has the other. We put it back into the storage room and we make our way back to the Gryffindor common room. Well we do have the feild tomorrow so maybe I will have a little team practice, just so we all get use to one another, we have a good bit of new people one the team. I get to the common room and I see that everyone on the team is sitting around. I decied to make an anoccement.
"Hey everyone, who made the qudditch team, there is a short practice tomorrow after breakfast. We are just going to do some drills, it will only be an hour or two.''
"Harry, we can go to Hogsmead tomorrow?" says Katie
"I know Katie, so that's why it is only going to be a few hours. I promise that you all will be able to go, but since we do have a lot of new people on the team, I feel like doing some short drills will be helpful for us. So when we have our first practice, we know what to excpect from one another. I promise it will not go more than two hours."
I go up to my room and Ron is writing a letter, probably to his mom telling him that he got Keeper. I get out of my Qudditch gear and go down stais to meet Ginny in the common room. Rosie is sitting by the fire with Lucus when I am down there.
"Hey Rosie Posie." I yell at her she looks at me a smiles and rolls her eyes. She goes back to talking to Lucus. Ginny comes down and we go to the Great Hall, we pass Professor McGongal on our way.
"Professor, I need to talk to you about something.''
She turns around to me a smiles "Yes, Harry?"
"Well my sisters birthday is in a few weeks, and I was wondering if it would be okay to get her a broom..''
"Potter, you should ask you parents this not me.''
"Well Professor, see I was wondering if she could have it hear on campus."
"Potter first years are not allowed to have brooms, unless given special permission."
"I know Professor, see I wasn't going to let her keep it in her room, I was going to keep it in my room, and only let her use it when she is with me. She so badly wants try out for the team next year, and she has the same passion as I do for flying and I thought it would be helpful to her if I gave private lessons."
"You promise to keep it in your room, some where she won't be able to get to it?"
"Yes."
"That's fine with me, what kind of broom are you thinking of getting her?"
"The same kind my parents got me for my first broom a Nimbus 2000, something with power but not a lot."
"Alright, well that is fine with me.''
"Thank you Professor.''
Me and Ginny continue to the Great Hall, she looks at me
"Have you talked to your parents about this yet?"
"Um no, but they will be fine with it."
She laughs and shakes her head at me, well hey I never thought I get Professor McGongal to say yes. Mom and Dad always say me and Rosie need to do something together, and she did tell me she wants to try out for the team next year, and what better way to help her then to get her started early. I'm so tired from today I don't eat much, Ginny is still talking to some of her friends so I tell her I will see her tomorrow. I get up to my room, I am thinking of writing mom and dad but I hit the bed an the next thing I know is Ron is shaking me awake.
"Harry wake up, it's time for breakfast."
I jolt awake, and remeber what, I have to do today. Practice, then go to Hogsmead with Ginny, Ron and Hermione. I get dress and go down to the Great Hall, Ginny is already there. I sit down and give her a kiss on the cheek. I get out a piece of parchment and write a quick letter to mom and dad.
Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey how is everything on your end, all is good here. I wanted to run something past you, I was thinking od getting Rosie a Nimbus 2000 for her birthday, and helping her learn how to play Qudditch this year so next year she could try out. Professor McGongal said it's ok for Rosie to have a broom as long as I keep it in my room and don't let Rosie use it when I'm not with her. I just wanted to make sure it was okay with you. I'll write again soon
Love, Harry
I finish my breakfast and go to the owlery, and give Hedwig the letter. I get down to the feild and look around everyone has shown up, then I look in the stands. Some people came but not many, I never did get why people came to the practices, Rosie is in the stands watching with her big brown eyes. I smile, I have us run some drills and we are out with in an hour, we all go get change and get ready to go to Hogsmead. Rosie stops me on my way out of the locker room.
"Harry, will you bring me something back from the sweet shop?"
I laugh and mess her hair up "Of course, what do you have plan for today?"
"Oh Luca and I are going to play wizard chess, well he is going to teach me."
"Luca?"
"Oh that's what I call Lucas.''
"Okay.''
"You wouldn't understand.''
I laugh and go meet up with Ron, Hermione and Ginny we start walking to Hogsmead
