Potter: A Drarry Fan Fiction

Trials

I went back to Gryfinndor to get changed into my quidditch gear. I grabbed my broomstick and headed off with Ron.

We reached the quidditch changing room, it was packed with every player. Most we're talking strategy, some arguing.

I walked over to my hook and put my bag down. I traced the 'HARRY POTTER, GRYFINNDOR SEEKER" that was engraved into the wood panelling.

"GRYFFINDOR!" Wood called out. We all gathered around.

"Now, whatever happens, remember we are a team," Wood said to the circle of people.

"I want everyone to play their best, and I want to see loads of red jerseys on that Hogwarts team," he said, spurring us all on.

We put our hands in the middle.

"1...2...3...GRYFINNDOR GO GO GO!" We all shouted.

We all walked out onto the pitch.

"I want, Seekers here, Keepers here, Beaters here, and Chasers over here!" Madam Hooch shouted.

Everyone got into their groups, mine consisted of Draco, Cho, Cedric, and of course me. All of us were strong players. It could be any of us.

"Seekers, stay here. Everyone else, stay in your groups and wait to be called" Madam Hooch said loudly.

She brought us to the middle of the pitch.

"Now, you are all strong seekers, so I don't want anyone to be disappointed with the results today," she said looking at each of us.

We all nodded.

I looked at Draco, he had his game face on. The one where nothing can reach him apart from getting that snitch. Cho looked nervous, pale even. Cedric was the only one to notice me looking. He gave a kind smile.

"Well then, let's see what you do best" she announced.

She waved her wand and snitches flew up, she had scattered loads over the pitch earlier.

"Good luck Harry," Cedric said turning to me.

I nodded with a smile.

"And go!" Hooch shouted.

All four of us got on our brooms and zoomed off. We knew what to do as we had done this exercise before in quidditch class. How many snitches you catch in a minute.

I flew around catching as many as possible. Cho was staying quite close to the ground, Draco only moved when we spotted one, Cedric and I had the same style. Fly around, then catch a snitch if you see one.

Madam Hooch blew the whistle and we all returned to the ground.

Cho was the first to empty her snitches from her pocket. She threw them onto the ground, seven. Then Cedric, fifteen. Then Draco, twenty-four. Then me, twenty-four.

Draco looked at my pile and had a proud look on his face.

"We are now going to do a speed trial. You will start at that tower, and weave in and out of the following towers until you reach the start. Do you understand?" Hooch said, explaining the next activity.

Cedric went first. He was quite fast, especially for someone of his stature.

"Thirty-six seconds" Hooch called out to him.

He smiled at his impressive time as he flew back down to us.

"Well done," I said with a smile on my face.

"Thanks," he said out of breath.

Draco went next.

"Forty-two," Hooch said.
