Act 1, Chapter 9: "Quidditch"
NOVEMBER CAME, WHICH means Quidditch season already started. This also means Harry will already play his first game after weeks of practicing.
He was very glad that Oliver Wood decided to keep him kept— secret and just reveal him at the day of the first game, he didn't feel any pressure at all until the news of him being the new Gryffindor seeker suddenly spread.
So now, it's either students are congratulating him or threatening that they'll knock his broom off (Mostly Slytherins.)
Quidditch season is getting near so he's spending most of his time practicing which also means that he's didn't have much time doing his homework— that's where Thea and Hermione enters the scene.
Both girls has been a great help to Ron and Harry especially to their homeworks. Of all the times Oliver suddenly scheduled a last–minute Quidditch practice, both girls always rescued him and somehow shared their knowledge from time to time.
Hermione, now being friends with the trio, had gotten more relaxed on breaking the rules. After seeing Thea singlehandedly knocked off a troll, Hermione became more comfortable that Thea can rescue her if she got into trouble once more.
Thea was the happiest knowing that their group became larger. It was nice having another girl in the group because they have more similarities than the boys. She also won't receive disapproving looks from Ron anymore if she's seen with Hermione, she won't have any hard time being in the middle anymore (and choosing sides sometimes).
The morning of their first match, Harry suddenly felt the rush of nervousness that he didn't feel before. Today, he'll be playing in front of the whole school.
Because of him being nervous, he lost all his appetite. His hunger was replaced with worries, What if he fell and broke his bones? What if he's the reason their house will lose? What if he puked because of his nervousness?
The other three also noticed how Harry hardly eats his food and just played with it, "Eat your food, Harry. Don't think about the match later." Thea said as she watched Harry twirls his ham on the fork.
