Oliver Wood: Accidental Seeker

By: Kaname-Black-Panther

Hello there! This would be my third (fourth? idk) Harry Potter fanfiction that I've posted on here. *cue the applause* Inspired by my little sister who while watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone asked me "What would happen if someone other than the seeker caught the snitch?"

Disclaimer: Come on, can't I just own one character? I don't care which one (although I'd prefer it to be a Weasley)

~Okay on with the story~

The Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Quidditch team were up on their broomsticks, playing their hearts out. Hufflepuff was up twenty point and Oliver Wood kept screaming for Harry to find the snitch quickly and get it over with.

Harry was currently circling around about five feet higher than everyone else, straining his eyes to try and catch a glimpse of the little gold ball. He thought he'd seen it by George's head, but it turned out to be a trick of the light. Ten whole minutes and two more scores from Hufflepuff later, Harry finally saw the snitch glinting near the goal posts by Oliver. He sped forward, praying that he wouldget therebefore the other seeker noticed.

"Come on, come on." He muttered, willing he Firebolt to go faster.

Meanwhile, down on the other side of the field, Oliver had successfully caught the quaffle before the Hufflepuffs could score. He was getting anxious. Harry normally would've caught the snitch by now, what was the boy doing? Nearby he saw it fluttering to his right, and noticed that Harry had seen it oo. He smiled as the young Gryffindor came zooming closer.

Out of no where the quaffle was soaring right at him, he just berly had time to surge forward and catch it beforethe other team scored. The only thing was, though he made quite a save, he was temperarily caught off balance. Afraid of falling off hisbroom, Oliver momentarily forgot that whilst in the air there's not much to take hold of and after a show of arm-flailing he finally gained control.

Looking around, he saw that the whole crowd of spectators and all the players had gone silent and still. Oliver first noticed Harry, who was hovering on his broom with his arm outstretched, a thoughtful expression on his face. At that moment he felt something wriggling in his hand and his eyes widened.

"Er. . ." Lee Jordan said (he was commentating), "Oliver Wood seems to have caught the snitch. Gryffindor wins - I think!" All the players lowered themselves to the ground and stood in a huddled group.

"I believe it was just an accident, but I wonder if we'll have to play again?" Cedric Diggory wondered to his other teammates. The Gryffindors didn't seem to care, as long as they'd won.

Minutes later MadameHooch came striding toward them, a big book of Quidditch rules inher arms.

"I've been consultingthis and it's clear this doesn't happen very oten, but according to the book if a player other than the seeker accidently catches the snitch (and it is indeed an accident) then the same rules apply. So congradulations Gryffindor, you've won!" Fred and George cheered and slapped Oliver on the back and said to the others "I think this calls for a little celebration, in honor of the Accidental Seeker!"

The End!

So guys, how'd it go? Did it fail, did you like it? TELL ME! I CRAVE YOUR ANSWERS!
