So this story is a Hogwarts AU for the Legends of Tomorrow. The Wizarding War never happened, but some of the sentiments from post-war exist. For instance, there is no animosity over blood status, and there is no animosity against Slytherins anymore.
Additionally, while Houses and such still exist, the Quidditch teams are intramural. There are 8 teams, and each team has to have at least one member from every house. The teams are the Legends (duh), the Bureau (like the Time Bureau), the Fugitives (like the magical fugitives), the Savage (as in Vandal Savage), the Legion (like the Legion of Doom), Mallus (duh), Salvation (as in Salvation, Dakota), and the Beebos (Beebo wuv you).
Sara is the Legends captain, Rip is the Bureau captain, Charlie is Amaya's identical twin and the captain of the Fugitives team. Damien Darhk is Nora Darhk's older brother, not her father, and Damien is the captain of the Mallus team. Nora doesn't play Quidditch. Jonah Hex is the captain of the Salvation team, and Leif Erikson's sister Freydis is the captain of the Beebos. Eobard Thawne is the younger brother of Eddie Thawne, and the captain of the Legion team. Oh, and Thea Queen goes to Ilvermorny with Roy Harper.
Starts off in their 6th year to introduce everyone, then I'm gonna time jump to the beginning of 7th year.
Pairings are mainly AvaLance, with some DarhkAtom and Zarlie and Nate/Amaya, with some mentions of previous Snart/Rory and implied Gary/Constantine.
Alright Lance, it's the last Quidditch game of the season, we're only down by 20. That's only two goals. You just gotta get the ball from Rip, that won't be a problem, right? Sara thought to herself as she narrowed her eyes at Rip Hunter, who was approaching from across the field. Sara leaned forward on her broom, shooting forward towards the other player, who had the quaffle tucked under his arm protectively.
Out of the corner of Sara's eye, she spotted her friend and teammate, Mick Rory, prepping his Beater's bat, glaring intensely at Hunter, same as Sara. Sara was soon flanked by the other Chasers on the team, her friends Zari and Nate. Zari and Sara shared a look, and Zari nodded, before dashing forward to cut off Hunter. While he was distracted, Nate came around the back, startling Hunter and making him drop the quaffle, which was caught from below by Sara. Sara raced towards the opposite end of the field, ducking under the other team's Chasers and performing a feint to get past the Keeper, before scoring. A few minutes after, her team's Seeker caught the snitch, leading to them winning by 140 points, which put them at winning the Quidditch Cup.
Sara and her teammates made a victory lap around the field, whooping and cheering along with the crowd. She landed, and the whole team came in for a hug - well, save for Mick, who preferred to stand back with his arms crossed, though he did have an unmistakably proud grin on his face.
All of Sara's friends were on the Legends Quidditch team. Team Captain Sara Lance was a Gryffindor, as well as fellow Chaser Nate Heywood. Mick Rory, as well as Chaser Zari Tomaz and fellow Beater John Constantine, were all Slytherins. Amaya Jiwe was the team's resident Hufflepuff, and her identical twin sister, Charlie Jiwe, was a Slytherin beater and the captain of the Fugitives team. Last but not least left the Legends' Seeker, Ray Palmer, a devoted and clever Ravenclaw.
"Captains, please shake hands!" Madame Hooch called over the roar of the crowd's cheering.
Sara strode to the middle of the field, her blue Quidditch robes flapping in the wind as she approached the Bureau's Captain, Rip Hunter. He wore his team's charcoal grey robes, and was flanked by two of his players; his seeker, Gary Green, and his star chaser, Ava Sharpe. As Sara approached, Ava's ice blue gaze sharpened as she glared at Sara.
Sara and Ava had been rivals since day one. Ava had transferred from Beauxbatons in their fourth year. Sara had heard some rumors that she'd gotten into a fight with her family, and had moved in with a distant relative and transferred to Hogwarts. Sara didn't know if it was true, as the Hogwarts rumor mill often exaggerated and twisted details around. Sara didn't really care about her background; that wasn't a reason to dislike someone. No, Sara's issues with Ava Sharpe were more competition-based. Ava was a Ravenclaw, and was a Prefect. Sara wasn't a prefect (though Ray and Amaya were), and was prone to pulling pranks and sneaking out, and it was almost always Ava who caught her and her friends. It was infuriating. Some of the other prefects, like Sara's sister Laurel, Sara could convince to look the other way. After all, it wasn't like she was doing anything dangerous. Usually she could get away with a small point deduction from Gryffindor and move one. No such luck with Ava though; she always gave Sara detention. And it wasn't just after-hours, either. It seemed to Sara that if she so much as pulled her wand out in the corridor, Ava would appear with the word "detention" shooting quick and sharp as a bullet from her mouth. It also didn't help that Sara and Ava were in competition for top of the class, which increased the tension between them. And Quidditch was just the cherry on top, as it was Ava's first season, and she'd immediately joined the Bureau.
Sara reached the Bureau team and took Rip's extended hand with a slight smile. Rip had once been the captain of the Legends team, and had actually recruited Sara, Mick, and Ray to the team. However, after the fourth year season, he left the Legends to join the Bureau, leaving Sara as captain in his stead. Sara understood why he left; he just didn't really fit in with her and her friends, who became the majority of the team in fourth year, after Kendra and Carter graduated and Zari and Amaya joined. Rip was then replaced by Nate Heywood. The year later, after the fifth year season, Mick's partner and fellow beater, Leonard Snart, transferred to Durmstrang. He was then replaced with John Constantine, which, along with backup chaser Jefferson Jackson, AKA Jax, formed the current Legends team.
Rip gave Sara a nod, which she returned, as they broke the handshake and turned to the locker rooms. Once Sara and her team were clean and left the locker room, they were bombarded by their friends.
Charlie practically tackled Amaya, whose hand was intertwined with Nate's, almost knocking all three of them over. "Well done, you bloody beautiful bastards! I mean, the Fugitives should've won the cup, but I'm just glad that someone took down the Bureau!" she laughed as she pulled back from hugging Amaya. "Oi, and the little ones wanted to give congrats!" Charlie stepped back and were replaced by Kuasa and Mari, who were in their second and first year, respectively, and were Charlie and Amaya's little sisters. Amaya let go of Nate to wrap them both in a big hug, while Nate turned to clap Ray on the back.
"Nice catch at the end there, bro. I saw Gary pull that Wronski Feint out there and I even fell for it!"
"Why exactly, were you watching the snitch?" Zari asked.
"It was when you pulled in front of Rip and I circled behind. I just caught a glimpse, jeez, Z," Nate replied defensively.
"You sure you weren't checking out your homeboy's ass?" Zari teased with a grin.
"Yeah, totally. Ray, you've got one hell of an ass," Nate replied sarcastically, as Ray beamed down at him.
Jax cracked up, and Zari leaned on his shoulder, before Zari's brother, Behrad (first year) ran up to her, giving her a bear hug.
Sara, meanwhile, was chatting with her sister about the game. Finals had just ended on Friday, so they'd be leaving on Sunday, which would be Laurel's last day at Hogwarts. She, along with her boyfriend Tommy Merlyn, their best friend Oliver Queen (who Sara had dated a looooong time ago), his girlfriend, Felicity Smoak, and their friend John Diggle, would all be graduating, and wouldn't be back at Hogwarts next year. Sara was kinda sad to see them go, but was also really excited to be the "big dogs", as her dad put it, meaning that she would be in the top year at Hogwarts.
"We gotta go, but we'll see you on the train!" Laurel told Sara, giving her one last, tight hug. "I'm so proud of you!"
Sara smiled as she watched her sister leave. She was about to turn back to her friends, but a movement in her peripheral caught her attention. Three people stood awkwardly, a little ways away, and somewhat nervously began to approach the Legends. As they got closer, Sara realized it was Ava Sharpe, Gary Green, and Nora Darhk.
"What d'you think they want?" Nate asked, coming up behind Sara.
"From the eyes Nora is giving Ray, I think I can guess what she wants," Zari replied, poking Ray in the ribs teasingly.
"What? No, I don't think so. Nora is just nice, I'm sure she's just coming to say congrats." Ray's voice took on a kind of nervous tremor as he awkwardly laughed.
"Then why is she only looking at you?" Zari countered.
"Because I'm the tallest?" Ray offered, unsure.
"Forget that, check out the look on Gar-bear's face!" Charlie exclaimed. "Either he's tripping, or he's thirsting for Constantine. And I doubt he's tripping. He's almost as much of a boy scout as Rayge here." She threw her arm on Ray's shoulder good-naturedly as Ray gave a light protest.
"Pipe down, luv, I'm sure the lad just wants an autograph or a photo with the greatest beater of all time," John said suavely as he swaggered forward. Mick grunted at his remark about being "the greatest beater of all time".
The group made it to them. Nora and Gary split from Ava to talk to Ray and John, respectively, as predicted. Surprisingly, Ava stopped in front of Sara.
"As much as it pains me to say this, you played a good game, Sharpe," Sara offered, sticking out her hand for a professional handshake.
"I've gotta say, Miss Lance, now that I've seen your team in action…" Ava began, "you're even worse than I imagined." Ava turned, completely ignoring Sara's offered hand, and grabbed Gary by the back of his robes as she dragged him away from Constantine.
Nora gave one last "You played a great game, Ray" before she also turned and followed her friends as they walked off the field. By this point, all of the Legends' friends and families had left, leaving just the team.
"Well, that happened," Zari offered.
Sara snorted humorlessly. "Fucking thank you, Z."
