Quidditch

*A few weeks later*

Harry was now the captain of the quidditch team. Tryouts were today and Ron was planning on trying out.

Everyone who was trying out was talking.

"Alright quiet down" Harry says.

They still don't quite down.

"Shut it!" I raise my voice so they can hear me.

"Thanks. Today we're just gonna play a few games to see who would do best at what" Harry says.

We all get ready to play.

"I'll be trying out for keeper as well" Cormac says to Ron.

"Really? Shouldn't you be trying out for beater? Keepers need to be quick" Ron says.

Cormac catches a fly and says "I think I'll manage."

I couldn't hear what they were talking about since I was already in the air on my broom.

"Oh and could you introduce me to your friends Granger and Black? I want to get on a first name basis if you know what I mean" Cormac says.

Tryouts started and I made almost every goal. It wasn't a surprise to anyone that I am an amazing chaser.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hermione whisper something behind her hand. That was right before Cormac was pushed to the side and let the quaffle into the goal.

*A few days later*

Ron was the new keeper for the Gryffindor quidditch team. He was very good at it too. I was glad that McLaggen didn't make the team because I didn't want him trying to flirt with me again.

Today was the first quidditch game, Slytherin vs Gryffindor. Me, Harry, and Hermione were already eating breakfast, but Ron hadn't come to the great hall yet.

Ron finally gets to the table and sits down, but he doesn't touch his food.

All the Slytherins were making fun of Ron.
"Don't listen to them Ron, you'll do great" I say.

Lavender Brown walks over and says "good luck today Ron! I know you'll do great!"

She walks away and Ron says "Harry, after today, McLaggen can be keeper."

"Alright. Have some juice" Harry says.

Luna sits down next to me, wearing a lion hat.
"You look dreadful Ron. Is that why you put something in his drink?" Luna says.

Harry slips the vile that held liquid luck back into his pocket.

"Don't drink it!" Hermione says.

Ron drinks it anyways, and he feels a lot more confident.

"Come on Harry, we have a game to win" Ron says.

They both stand up and walk out of the great hall.

"Did they really just forget I'm on the team too?" I ask, causing Hermione to laugh.

"I guess they did" Hermione says.

"I like your hat by the way Luna" I say.

"Thanks! Would you like one?" Luna asks.

"It won't stay on my head while I'm playing quidditch. Besides, no one can rock a lion hat better than you" I say.

I stand up and walk to the quidditch locker room. I get changed into my quidditch robes quickly and get prepared for the game.

I mount onto my Firebolt and fly into the air. The game begins and I already score a goal with the quaffle.
