I think that is everyone so without further ado, may I present, Chapter 10!

As soon as that lesson was over, Jack practically stormed out of the room and back to common room where he sat down in the armchair by the fireplace. Thankfully it wasn't lit as he clenched his toes and grabbed his hair with both hands. Damn did that woman make his blood boil and that took some doing since all of his blood was nearly frozen!

"Are you okay?" a voice asked.

"Honestly? I'm a little pissed off Hermione," Jack said, as the blonde went to sit on the long sofa with Dez.

"Why? You didn't get detention," Hermione said.

"True," Ron said, sitting next to him.

"It's not that. It's that she doesn't listen to what people have to say, she likes the sound of her own voice!" Jack told them.

"I see his point. Clearly, she doesn't understand a thing about what Defence Against the Dark Arts is! That… feline!" Hermione said, sitting down by Ron who looked shocked.

"Hermione Granger, did you just insult a teacher?" Ron said and Hermione gave him a shove.

"Oh shut up Ronald!" she said folding her arms. Jack saw Harry sit down in the other big chair opposite him and he seemed equally as pissed.

"I agree with Jack," Harry said, not looking up. Star, who was the last one to enter, came beside Jack and looked at him.

"See anything interesting in there?" she asked. Jack looked up at her, confused. "On the windows?" she added. Jack felt panic rise within him but Ron snapped him out of it.

"Hey Jack, are you going to try out now?" Ron asked and Jack jumped up. He had nearly forgotten about that!

"Oh yeah! Let me grab my broom!" Jack said, running up the stairs. The boys followed him as they went to put on their scarfs and gloves as did the girls. It had gotten unusually cold now for some odd reason.

Soon enough, all of them were outside watching Jack as he walked onto the pitch where Madam Hooch was. She was standing with a few others who wanted to try out and most of them were from Gryffindor and only a few were from Slytherin. Jack gulped as he knew he had some competition. They had already been tested so now, they were waiting there without their brooms to watch Jack and someone else from Gryffindor who hadn't flown yet.

"Snap out of it Frost!" Jack mumbled to himself, "You flown over the Atlantic Ocean! This is nothing!" Looking up, he could see his friends on the stands and Ron waved at him and Jack waved clumsily back. But looking to the other side of his stands, he saw a few Slytherins, including Malfoy. That only meant trouble.

As Jack stood beside the last Gryffindor in line, he saw that he was in the same Year as him but he looked petrified. He had messy light brown hair with grey coloured eyes. "Okay, now I want you to mount your broom!" Madam Hooch instructed him and Jack. Harry mentioned that there were mini practices before she tested you.

"I want each of you to kick off from the ground and hover in the air for a few minutes before touching back down," Madam Hooch said, then holding the whistle around her neck. "Three, two, one!" she said, then blowing through the whistle. Jack did exactly what Madam Hooch told him and he successfully found himself hovering in the air without the wind's aid. Everything went smoothly for a few minutes as Madam Hooch inspected them to see their balance until the kid next to him started to jolt on his broom.

"Hey you okay?" Jack asked, steering out of the way in case he got knocked off his own broom.

"Mr Dees?" Madam Hooch said, coming over as she noticed something was wrong. Dees or whoever he was, said nothing as he started to rise higher into the air. "Come down this instant!" Madam Hooch shouted but Dees didn't listen.

"I think he's scared!" Jack said, looking up at him.

"Lean forward and dive down to the ground!" Madam Hooch called, now a little concerned.

Everyone else, who was watching from the stands, looked rather puzzled at this.

"What is that?" Ron asked.

"I think that's obvious," Star said rolling her eyes.

"Is his broom doing that by itself?" Ron asked and Hermione shook her head.

"No that isn't right," she replied.

As the boy rose higher, Jack was now worried that he was going to fall off. Suddenly, his broom darted forward like a rocket and then swooped up even higher into the sky. "Hang on!" Madam Hooch said, looking around for something. "Where is my broom?" she shouted.

The other kids, minus a few Slytherins, looked around for her broom but it was nowhere in sight. Jack had a look around for it too, now off of his broom, but the sound of faint laughter made him look up. Malfoy had his wand out and was pointing it up at the broomstick in air. He was making it go crazy! Jack then noticed beside Malfoy's friends, was the end of a broomstick. That had to be Madam Hooch's broomstick!

Looking up at his friends, he pointed over to the Slytherins desperately, hoping they would understand. Star was the first to notice him. "What's Jack pointing at?" she asked. Ron looked closer and followed Jack's pointing over to the Slytherins and he saw what Jack was trying to say.

"Malfoy!" he yelled. Hermione saw this too and she pulled out her wand and pointed it at Malfoy's wand.

"Expelliamus!" she shouted, and Malfoy's wand was flicked out of his hand. He looked back at them and Hermione could tell he was cursing.

"Oh, that wasn't good to do!" Star commented and Hermione turned to her.

"Why not? She stopped him from messing around with the broom," Harry said and Hermione nodded.

"Yeah but the spell controlled the broom. That kid doesn't know how to really ride a broom does he?" Star said and Hermione's face went as white as sheet. Everyone looked up at Dees and they saw that Star was right. He didn't know how to ride one.

As soon as he tried to move the broom, he lost his grip and he found himself hanging by a hand from the broom. "Help!" he screamed. Madam Hooch was now frantically looking for her broom but Jack knew there was no time for that.

Mounting his broom again, he took off like an arrow released from a bow. Jack felt the wind rush through his hair and it started to hurt his eyes but he didn't stop. Dees finally lost his grip on the broom and he started to plummet towards the ground, screaming as he went. Everyone else screamed out and most of them started to cover their eyes.

Jack then came into reach of Dees and then reaching out a hand, he managed to grab Dees by the arm. This pulled his broom down a little but that didn't stop him. "Hoist your leg over!" Jack yelled. Amazingly, Dees did as he was told and soon, he was on the back of Jack's broom, holding on for dear life. Jack then swooped down a little and managed to catch Dees's broom which hadn't fallen too far down. Jack let out a sigh of relief as he quickly made his way back to the ground, towards Madam Hooch.

His friends and some of the Gryffindors who had been in the try-outs too, were cheering out for him and Ron was letting out loud whistles. "Way to go!" Star yelled.

Jack couldn't help but blush as he came down to the ground, where Dees leapt off the broom and ran back to the castle, completely forgetting that Jack had his broom. Probably didn't want to see it again, Jack thought, getting off his broom and putting Dees broom on the ground.

Madam Hooch came over and folded her arms with a stern look on his face. "I didn't recall asking you to save him now did I?" she asked and Jack almost swore. He had just saved someone!

Madam Hooch saw his expression and she smiled. "But I haven't seen someone fly like that in a long time and with reflexes when you grabbed Dees like that" she said and Jack relaxed again. Okay, this was going well, he thought.

"Does this mean I'm in trouble?" he asked, praying that he wasn't.

"Of course not. But it means that I am looking at Gryffindor's newest seeker for this week's match," she told him.

Jack felt like crying out for joy. Him? A Seeker? Awesome! But wait! There was something wrong with this. "I thought Harry was the Gryffindor Seeker," he said and Madam Hooch sighed.

"He was. Until Umbridge came down to see me earlier," Madam Hooch said, her smile fading.

"And?" Jack asked.

"It seems she had banned Potter from playing this Year for his outburst. She mentioned you as well but I am not having the Gryffindor short of a Seeker when the game is in four days. Just be careful how you talk to her Frost or she'll have you off the team. Tell Potter for me please, I don't need him shouting at me too," Madam Hooch told him, patting him on the shoulder and then walking off, leaving Jack dumbstruck.

Umbridge did what? Banned Harry? Oh man, this conversation wouldn't go down well, Jack thought.

"Hey Jack!" a voice called. Jack turned around to see his friends coming towards him.

"That was awesome!" Star said in glee, slapping him hard on the back.

"Yeah, you saved him! Shame Malfoy didn't get caught before he ran off," Ron said with disappointment at the last bit of the sentence.

"Did you make the team?" Harry asked eagerly and Jack gulped. Here goes nothing.

"Yes," he said and everyone cheered.

"Excellent! What are you playing?" Hermione asked.

"Seeker" Jack said quietly. Harry frowned in confusion as did the others.

"But Harry is the Seeker," Ron said, pointing at Harry who nodded as did Hermione.

"He is! Why did the teacher put you as Seeker if she knows Harry is?" Star asked and everyone leaned in for this answer. Jack tightened his grip on his broom.

"Madam Hooch told me to tell you that…" Jack started but didn't finish.

"What?" Harry asked impatiently.

"That Umbridge has banned you from Quidditch this Year!" Jack burst out and when saying it, he felt terrible but Harry was furious.

"What?! She can't do that!" Harry yelled, starting to walk back and forth to calm his nerves.

"Well, she can cause she's from the Ministry," Star pointed out.

"That's beside the point Star! She doesn't tell teachers what to do and what not to do! She is in charge with her own class and if she wants to discuss something, she talks to Dumbledore!" Hermione argued.

"Sorry" Jack said and Harry shook his head.

"It isn't your fault Jack, you didn't know she banned me until Hooch told you," Harry said and Jack nodded.

"No, I didn't know" Jack replied. Ron looked up at the sky and noticed that it had gone grey.

"We'd better get inside. Harry, don't you have detention?" Ron said and Harry groaned.

"What a perfect way to end the day," Harry said bitterly, making his way by himself back to the castle.

"Poor guy," Ron said, starting to make his way too along with the others following him. Jack was about to move too but he heard a shuffle behind him and he turned around to the stands where the sound had come from. He thought his ears had deceived him but looking at the top of the stands, he could have sworn he saw a snout of a yellow eyed horse looking down at him before disappearing as rain started to fall.

Jack wiped his eyes with his now wet hands and his thoughts went foggy as he started to make his way back too. First the shadows and now the horse? What next? He didn't want to find out that's for sure but he knew he had to.

Well I hope that was good enough for you all! I don't know if that's how tryouts are at Hogwarts but in my world that's how it is! I am the writer so I have control! HAHAHAHA! So I would like twelve reviews for more chapters and cupcakes! Bye for now!
