Marcus tosses Hadrian a broom, "Seekers need to have fast reflexes, a sharp eye and at times be able to fly with no hands. For your first training session, we're gonna go simple and test your reflexes".
He grabs his broom and flies up in the air like before, Hadrian following him.
Marcus nods, "Before you learn how to catch, you need to first know how to flee. Your task, Hadrian, is to evade me. Obviously within the confines of the pitch. We'll go for a couple minutes so I can observe your flying a little closer, understand?".
Hadrian nods, "Sounds good".
He calls out, "Finn, count us in!".
"On my count. Three..two...".
Before he finishes, Hadrian darts off in the other direction, catching Marcus slightly off guard. Chuckling to himself, Marcus quickly flies off after him.
Adrian shakes his head, "He wasn't done counting".
Draco laughs and crosses his arms, "The Snitch plays by his own rules".
Hadrian and Marcus engage in a game of cat and mouse around the whole pitch, Hadrian flying like he was in a maze. Marcus tried to catch him from all directions but Hadrian was able to change his direction in a matter of seconds. After a couple of minutes, Marcus makes his descent and lands back on the grass.
As Hadrian makes his way down, Marcus smiles, "I'm impressed. You've both obviously been trained well. May I ask your brother's name?".
The twins look at each other, "Regulus Black".
Miles nods and smiles, "That makes sense. Regulus Black was one of the best Seekers on the Slytherin team. It doesn't surprise me that his younger brothers would follow in his footsteps".
Marcus nods, "That was a very productive first training session, well done everyone. We will have weekly training sessions here. I will post any updates on the notice board in the Common Room. In the meantime...". He smirks as he looks behind the twins, "...I think you two have some fans waiting".
They turn around to see Blaise walking quickly towards them, with Crabbe and Goyle behind him. Draco smiles and walks over, meeting Blaise in the middle.
Draco smirks, "You enjoy the show?".
Blaise laughs and pulls him into a hug, "You were amazing as always. Although...". He gently pulls out the necklace from around Draco's neck, "...I may have had a little something to do with it".
Draco blushes as Marcus turns to Hadrian, "They're not exactly subtle, are they?".
Hadrian snorts and shakes his head, "Not since we were three years old".
They head back to the castle, thanking Marcus and the rest of the team for welcoming them in. They had a couple of hours before dinner, so the brothers went to find their godfather while the others stayed in the common room.
They reach the door to his room and knock on the door, entering before they get a response. They walk in to see Severus sitting on his couch, grading some papers.
He looks up with a sigh, "You know, if you both are just going to barge in, why bother with the knocking?".
They smile innocently, "It's polite, Uncle Sev".
Severus shakes his head, "You're lucky I love you". He places the papers on the coffee table in front of him, "How was training?".
