Harry made his way down to the Great Hall for lunch as he was approaching the door he felt someone tap on his shoulder. Harry turned around to see a bushy haired girl standing behind him. "Hello can I help you?" Harry asked as the girl clutched a book she was holding closer to her chest. "Yes I was wondering if you could help me with learning the proper etiquette of the wizarding world since you seem to be well connected with the other higher wizard families." The girl stated as Harry smiled at her. "Well first may I ask your name?" Harry asked as he stood there observing the girl. "Hermione Granger." She responded.
"Well Ms. Granger it would be an honor to help you learn the ways of our wonderful world." Harry stated as the girl's face lit up with joy. "Thank you so much I have read about your world but, I fear I offend many pure blood wizards because I do not know what stuff offends them." Hermione responded as Harry quickly calmed her down. "Well why don't you come sit with my friends and I at lunch and they can help me explain thing to you." Harry said when Hermione had calmed down enough. "Ok but are you sure it's ok with me being a Ravenclaw and all?" Hermione asked as she looked at Harry nervously. "Of course it is Hermione now come on you need to eat." Harry responded as he walked into the Great Hall and over to where his friends where sitting.
"Harry we where beginning to get worried that you had gotten into trouble." Daphne stated as Harry sat down across from Draco and motioned Hermione to have a seat. "I am fine Professor Potter just wanted to look at my notes." Harry responded as Draco chuckled. "Something funny Draco?" Harry asked as Hermione shyly sat down next to him. "Mate I saw the notes you where taking I can't imagine the look on her face when she saw your notes." Draco responded. "Before we continue that conversation allow me to introduce Hermione Granger." Harry said as he looked over at Hermione who smiled nervously. "Hello Hermione it's nice to meet you." The others responded as they shook her hand. "She wanted my help in learning pureblood traditions, but I figured that y'all could help me teach her since you all are purebloods." Harry explained as the others looked at Hermione in shock. "What is it did I do something wrong?" Hermione asked as she looked back at the others reaction. "No you didn't do anything wrong it's just nearly unheard of for a muggle born or raised student to so willingly have the desire to learn about the intricacies of our world." Daphne responded. "I think I speak for all of us, but I would be honored to help you learn about our world." Neville responded as the others nodded at Hermione. "Well know we should probably go prepare for the Quidditch try outs. Hermione I think Sylla and Tracey can begin to teach you about our world as Daphne, Draco, Neville, and I have to get ready." Harry responded as Daphne, Draco, and Neville stood with him to head back to the Slytherin common rooms.
As they arrived in the Slytherin common rooms they quickly changed and got dressed. Harry was done first and decided to respond to Fleur's letter.
Dear Fleur,
It was a pleasant surprise to hear from you so soon. Viktor sent me a letter just the other day saying that you would be joining our team. I very much look forward to playing with you this summer. I am related to Alexander Potter he is my younger brother. Here is a picture of me so that we can know what each other look like. Feel free to ask me any questions you want and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
Your Teammate,
Harry James Potter
After Harry finished writing the letter and put in an envelope as the with the picture of him from the youth cup trophy earlier that summer with Viktor standing next to him an arm around Harry's shoulder as he held the trophy in front of him. As Harry sealed the envelope the other finished getting dressed and and met Harry in the common room.
"Well let's head down to the pitch." Draco said as they began to file out of the common room. "I'll have to mail this out when we go past the Owlery." Harry said as he raised his hand with the letter slightly so that they all could see it. With that they left, but as they left Malfoy noticed that Harry also grabbed his notes from muggle studies.
A few minutes later after Harry mails the letter:
Slytherin Lockeroom:
"All right you all that are interested in tryouts over here. You experienced players wait for me by the door." Marcus Flint instructed as he walked to where the tryouts are sitting. "Well since there are only a few of you we are going to have a scrimmage game if you can impress you'll make the team though it may only be as a reserve player." Flint explained then turned and began walking away from the tryout group. "I will give you a few minutes to prepare a game plan." Flint added as he and the experience players headed outside. As soon as they left Harry stood up and dragged one of the chalk boards over and began to draw on it. Draco spoke quickly to the other players including the three that they did not know that played seeker and the two beaters explaining how Harry had come up with a game plan in class earlier that day. As Draco finished explaining this Harry finished drawing and writing on the board and called the others to gather around. "Ok here is our game plan." Harry said as the others gathered around….
A Few Minutes Later after Harry explains the game plan:
Marcus Flint and the experienced players watched as the tryouts walked onto the field sure that they would beat these tryouts since Flint didn't even allow them enough time to properly get to know each other. They were surprised that when the tryouts came out onto the pitch they had a determined look rather than the hopeless look they had expected. "Captain we're ready for the scrimmage." Harry said as he and the others mounted their brooms with Neville in goal. Two seventh year Slytherin's Tyrell Lancaster and Charles Dupont as the beater's. Harry, Draco, and Daphne as chaser's. Finally, at seeker was Malissa Dupont Charles's twin sister. Harry took up his position as the middle most chaser and waited for the quaffle to be thrown into the air by a charm on the quidditch box. The snitch and both bludger's where release and the chasers watched the quaffle. As Harry waited time seemed to slow down until he saw the quaffle move slightly to begin its launch upward. As the quaffle launched forward Harry darted forward and reached the quaffle just as it reached its highest point. Harry grabbed the quaffle and saw one of Flint's chasers charge at him blindly and no one was covering behind as he charged. Harry grinned at this all he had to do was get past then one guy and would create a scoring chance. Harry moved his broom stick a little to the left towards Flint who was playing middle chaser. As the other chaser closed in on him Harry pulled his broomstick right and took off launching himself past the charging chaser who due to hi position took Flint out of the play.
Harry being a former seeker was much faster and more maneuverable than his fellow chasers. Given the fact that Severus had his Nimbus 2000 customized to be smaller and more maneuverable than any other broom. The added benefit of Harry's smaller broom and size was that he could accelerate to his top speed nearly instantaneously which allowed him to take advantage of over aggressive players.
Harry heard Flint curse as he tried to stay with Harry only to be locked and nearly knocked off of his broom by his own player. Harry quickly accelerated away from the pile up and straight at Flint's team's goal as he closed in on the goal Harry saw movement right and above him. It was the third of Flint's chasers as he closed in Harry saw Draco to his left and Daphne to his right rather than passing the ball to Draco and providing the third chaser a chance to get back into the play Harry stopped his broom and allowed the third chaser to come flying past him and passed it to Daphne who was know inside the box and one on one with the keeper which she made short work to give them the lead and the first score of the game. As they flew back towards their goal Harry saw Flint chewing out the first chaser for blocking his movement. Harry chuckled at this not even past the first score and Flint was already blaming others for his inability to read the game and predict what Harry was doing. As Flint's keeper picked up the quaffle and passed it to Flint he suddenly was face to face with Draco who quickly closed the gap on Flint. Flint panicked at sudden preassure and quickly past to his right which looked open since Daphne was pressuring the chaser to his left. Before the chaser could receive the quaffle though he was hit dead on by a bludger as Harry intercepted the pass before the chaser had a chance to recover. Harry, Daphne, and Draco flew forward at ridiculous speeds leaving flint and the other chasers behind in shock. Harry pushed forward and as the keeper prepared for Harry to shoot Harry passed it off to Draco who scored the goal to extend their lead. The game continued this way with Flint's chasers constantly collapsing to the pressure and passing it to who appeared to be the open chaser only to have Harry steal the ball or on the few times where the pass did get through that chaser was then nailed by a bludger after receiving the ball slowing down the attack and allowing Draco and Daphne to shift their marks while Harry transitioned over to the seemingly open chaser. The game was 210-50 when the snitch was finally caught by Malissa making the final score 360-50. As Harry's team landed and began walking to the dressing room to get a shower Harry looked up and saw Alexander and Lily watching him from up in the stands. "Hey y'all go ahead I'll catch up." Harry stated and walked up to the stands where Lily was waiting for him.
A/N: Sorry for taking so long to update I hope that y'all enjoyed the Quidditch game. On a side note let me know of any suggestions about how to write the Quidditch games. Also there will be twelve Quidditch games in the Hogwarts season so you play each house team three times. Finally, don't forget to vote.
Sylla: 6
Daphne: 8
