Now that Matt had something to look forward to on the weekend, class seemed to go by much easier, as did having class with Nick.
Triple H was a good teacher, but on syllabus day, you'd have to set an Acromantula loose in the room to keep the interest of a room full of first years. Marty and Matt were playing catch with Flip's notebook, who was trying to catch it without bringing too much attention to himself. Nick might've told them to give his new friend his notebook back, if he wasn't so bored, so he instead joined in. The fun was ended not long before the end of class when Chuckie T shot the notebook from the air with a swift blasting charm.
"Why are you such a dick?!" Nick asked annoyed.
"That was my notebook." Flip whined. Triple H gave Chuckie T a detention for the act, and took 5 points from Slytherin, which made half the class boo loudly. The clock tolled and they headed out.
"Get chapter one in your text books read by Tuesday." Triple H called after them.
They had quite a turn out the next day. Seth, Dean, and Roman, Tyler and Pete, Cesaro and Sheamus, Tyler Breeze and Fandango, Dalton and the Boys (though the boys didn't want to play), AJ and Shinsuke, Candace, Bayley, and Becky, Kevin and Sami, Will Ospreay and Hiromu, Xavier, Finn, and Juice, Corey, and Alexa. Plus Nick brought Flip and Matt and Marty brought Cody. Byron Saxton asked if he could announce it on the local radio station, like he and Corey did for the official Hogwarts teams, since the Headmaster was such a big fan of Quidditch. They decided to start off by splitting them into teams.
They all voted four guys as the four team captains, Matt, Finn, Seth, and Pete. It was a matter of picks from there on out. Of course Mr. Robinson was there the first day to make sure everything went off without a hitch.
"Alright I'll start," Matt said, "Nick, get over here."
"Dean," Seth said.
Dean gave him a fist bump on the way over.
"Tyler," Pete said, they nodded at each other.
"Um, Xavier?" Finn said.
"Aw yeah!" Xavier said bouncing over.
"Marty," Matt said.
Marty had quite a happy skip in his step as he walked over to his team.
"Roman," Seth said. Another fist bump.
"Shinsuke," Pete said picking his other roommate.
"Juice," Finn said after Xavier whispered in his ear real quick.
Juice and Xavier high fived excitedly.
"Page," Matt said.
Page and Marty chest bumped and started talking with Nick.
"AJ," Seth said.
"Good choice," AJ winked, jokingly. Dean rolled his eyes, but kept his mouth shut.
"Becky?" Pete said, she nodded and joined them.
"Dalton," Finn said definitely, sure of his name.
The Boys stopped fanning him off with their notebooks and he joined his team, waving them goodbye dramatically.
"Cole," Matt said.
Adam Cole zipped over.
"Will," Seth said.
Will strode over and stood next to AJ.
"Bayley," Pete said.
"Yeah!" Becky said, glad she'd talked him into it.
Bayley ran over and hugged her friend.
"Sami," Finn decided.
"Go with Flip!" Nick whispered
"No, go with Hiromu!" Marty countered.
"Cody," Matt said overriding them.
"Hell yeah!" Cody said.
"Candace," Seth said.
"Cesaro," Pete said
"Ok," Finn nodded to Sami, "Kevin," Finn
"Flip," Matt decided, he'd always go with his brother's opinion first.
"Fandango is it?" Seth said.
"It's Fan-dan-go!" Dango said dancing over.
"Shut up," Pete told Cesaro, "Sheamus."
"Corey," Finn said, listening to Kevin's suggestion.
"And Hiromu," Matt said.
Marty went to high five the young Japanese wizard, but was instead Hiromu held his cat Daryl's paw up. So Marty and Daryl fist bumped
"Breeze." Seth said.
Dango and Breeze did a weird fist bump without fully clasping their fists as to keep their nail polish from getting messed up.
"Alexa!" Corey interrupted, "We call Alexa!" He said.
"Ok I guess we've got Miz then," Seth said unenthusiastically.
And with that the teams were set.
They decided to have four games, like a little tournament; Matt's team versus Finn's, then Seth's versus Pete's, then have the winners face and the losers face. Byron and Elias were doing commentary for the radio show, so the Headmaster could listen from his office, and the people in Hogsmeade could get an idea of the school's extracurricular activities.
Matt's team faced Finn's first. It was Matt, Nick, and Flip as beaters, Cody, Marty, Cole, and Page as Chasers, and Hiromu as keeper, Daryl was laying on Byron's lap sleeping. Against Corey, Kevin, and Xavier as beaters, Finn, Juice, and Alexa, and Sami as chasers, and Dalton as keeper. The rules were obviously a bit different, there was a time limit of 20 mins, as there was no snitch, there were more players on each team to allow for more students, and the bludgeons were wrapped in padded cloths as well to make it a bit safer, but the goals were still 10 points.
Mr. Robinson threw the Quaffle up, Finn zoomed in and caught it. The boys released the bludgeons and high tailed it on out of there to the stands. Nick flew towards the closest bludgeon and whacked it towards Finn.
"Balor starting with the quaffle here," Byron said. "A Bludgeon from one of the Jacksons headed his way.
"You know Wonderwall?" Elias asked, starting to play the song.
"A good pass to Juice there by Balor, as he's nearly knocked off his broom by that bludgeon, but, oh, wow, Graves flying in there and almost headbutting the bludgeon, but getting his bat up in time to shoot it towards Rho- sorry- Cody," Byron said.
Juice was almost at the goals, until he was body checked by Marty. Cody dropped down to avoid the bludgeon, while Matt hit the other towards Juice, clipping him in the shoulder since he was thrown off by Marty. He dropped the Quaffle and Cole caught it.
"A legal body check by Scurll oh! Juice Robinson was just clocked by a bludgeon. Cole's got the quaffle, Adam Cole has the Quaffle, he passes it to Cody, just missing a bludgeon, Cody to Page, Nice save by Flip there with the defense against those bludgeons. Remember, we've wrapped them in padded cloth but that doesn't make them hurt any less– Alexa Bliss with the defense, slowing Page down." Byron said excitedly. Elias was playing a new song now. Page tried to throw the ball to Marty, but it was quickly intercepted by Sami who zipped on through.
"Nice interception by Sami there, nearly struck by a bludgeon, nice protection given by Kevin, shooting that bludgeon off towards the other team, Oh, and it clipped Flip – No! No, he's done a flip, Flip's done a flip! Flip Gordon just flipped his broom over, the bludgeon missed him by mere millimeters!"
Meanwhile Sami had passed to Finn who was about to shoot.
"Pass to Balor, and a shot on goal– no, Hiromu dives to catch the Quaffle with one hand!" Byron said focusing again on the Quaffle. Page caught the Quaffle and started bringing it up the pitch, passing it to Cody.
"Pass to Page, then to Cody, and is Cody's gonna take the shot? No, he passes to Cole, who passes to Marty, and there's a shot! Ten points! Ten points to Team One!" a bludgeon flew towards Matt, who instinctively hit it towards Nick. They began hitting it between each other, driving up the field, the other team was attempting a arrowhead formation, but were taken out by the bludgeon when the twins flew past.
"The Jackson twins with a game of pass with a bludgeon, just decimating their opponents!" Byron yelled.
Cole caught the quaffle, flying up from near the ground, throwing it to Marty who shot again, but this time Dalton caught it. The Boys cheered.
"A catch from Cole, and a pass to Marty and– this time Castle saves the shot. The Boys excited that Dalton Castle saved that one. And a pass to Finn! He's flying the field, there's 10 seconds left, can he make it?!" He shot but Hiromu caught it, "Save by Takahashi, and that's the game. Team One wins ten to oh. The next match is team 3 versus team 2."
