"Good afternoon, class" said Madam Hooch, the flying teacher.
"Good afternoon, Madam Hooch" said the class.
"Welcome to your first flying lesson. Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone step up to the left side of their broomstick. Come on now, hurry up. Stick your right hand over the broom and say, up" instructed Madam Hooch
"Up" said the class.

After Harry and Mary said "Up”!, their brooms immediately flew into their hands.
"Wow" exclaimed the two.
H

ermione stared at them as the class continued.

"Up" cried Draco for the second time and his broomstick flew up. Draco smugly grinned.
"

With feeling" instructed Madam Hooch
"Up. Up. Up. Up" said Hermione, getting annoyed.
"Up" shouted Ron and Roxy, their brooms immediately shot up and whacked them on the noses. "Ooww"
Harry and Mary laughed.
"Shut up, Harry" said Ron
"Shut up, Mary" said Roxy
Then they both laughed.

"Now, once you've got hold of your broom, I want you to mount it. And grip it tight, you don't want to be sliding off the end" said Madam Hooch. 
The class mounted their broomsticks.
"When I blow my whistle, I want each of you to kick off from the ground, hard. Keep your broom steady, hover for a moment, and then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle...3...2..." She blows the whistle. However, Neville's broomstick somehow lifts him off the ground. Neville immediately lifted off. He looked quite frightened.

"Oh..." cried Neville
"

Mr. Longbottom" said Madam Hooch
"Neville, what are you doing" asked Roxy
"We're not supposed to take off, yet" said Mary, who, ironically was hanging upside down from her broom.
Neville began soaring away uncontrollably. 
"M-M-Mr. Longbottom! Mr. Longbottom" cried Madam Hooch "AHH" shouted Neville
"Mr. Longbottom" shouted Madam Hooch
"Down! Down! Ahhhh" cried Neville
"Help" called Neville.

he immediately skyrocketed.
"Come back down this instant" called Madam Hooch
"

I don't think he can miss" said Mary.
"Ms Potter, get down from your broom" ordered Madam Hooch.
Mary swung down.
Neville then flew uncontrollably in the air and hit a wall, conking along it and then swooping off. All the while, he was screaming. He began to zoom back towards the group of students. Madam Hooch quickly held out her wand to stop him.

"Help" Neville cried
"

Mr. Longbottom"
However, the students quickly stood back as Hooch dived out of the way, allowing Neville to fly right through. Neville goes through the scatter and up a tower.
"Ahhhh! Whoa! Ahhh" cried Neville as he zoomed past a statue of a man with a sharp spear. Neville's cloak caught on it. He was flipped off the broom and hung there. 
"Oh. Ah...help" 
He wavered, then the cloak ripped through the spear, and he falls. But his cloak catches on a torch, making Neville slip off from his cloak a second later and fell to the ground. 
"Ahh"
"Everyone out of the way" ordered Madam Hooch as she ran through the group, and they scatter. Come on, get up.
"Is he alright" asked Roxy

Hooch helped Neville up.

"Owowowow" cried Neville
"

Oh, oh, oh, oh dear. It's a broken wrist. Tch, tch, tch. Good boy, come on now, up you get" said Madam Hooch. 
Draco reached down and grabbed Neville's Remembrall, which had fallen from him. Hooch began to lead Neville away with her. 
"Everyone's to keep their feet firmly on the ground while I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing. Understand? If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will find themselves out of Hogwarts before they can say, Quidditch" threatened Madam Hooch. She left to the hospital wing.
"Did you see his face? Maybe if the fat lump had given this a squeeze, he'd have remembered to fall on his fat arse" said Draco.  He and his goons laughed; Harry and Mary approached him.
"Give it here, Malfoy" ordered Harry
"No. I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find" sneered Draco as he hopped on his broom and soared around group, then through. "How 'bout up on the roof" He flew off and hovered several feet above the grounds. "What's the matter, Potters? Bit beyond your reach" taunted Draco.

Finally having enough, Harry and Mary got on their brooms, Hermione stops them.
"Harry, Mary, no way! You heard what Madam Hooch said! Besides, you don't even know how to fly" Hermione argued
Harry flew off to face Draco, ignoring her. 

"What an idiot" huffed Hermione
"Sorry 'Mione" Mary called as she raced after Harry.
H

arry was now in the air, across from Draco.

"Give it here, Malfoy, or I'll knock you off your broom" cried Mary "Is that so" sneered Malfoy.  
Harry made a dash for him, but Draco twirled around his broom in a 360. 
Mary raced at him and grabbed the Remembrall with ease.
M

ary then hurls the Remembrall into the air, like a baseball. Harry zooms after the ball, speeding towards a tower. Just as he is about to hit a window, from which McGonagall is working, he caught it. McGonagall noticed this and looks surprised as Harry and Mary began to fly back down to the grounds. The students all cheered as they landed back on the ground at ease. The students ran to see him.

"Good job, Harry" said Ron
"

Oh, that was wicked, Mary" said Roxy

McGonagall appeared in the grounds.
"Harry and Mary Potter, follow me" said Professor McGonagall Harry and Mary sullenly followed her. Draco and his goons snickered in delight.

McGonagall and Harry arrived outside of Professor Quirrell's classroom. He was inside, teaching, holding an iguana.

"

An iguana s-such as this is..."
"You wait here" ordered Professor McGonagall
"an essential in-gredient"
"Professor Quirrell, excuse me, excuse me. Could I borrow Wood for a moment, please" asked Professor McGonagall
"Oh. Y-yes, of course" said Professor Quirrell. A tall boy got up.
"Potters, this is Oliver Wood. Wood, I have found you a Seeker and chaser" said Professor McGonagall.
👧🏻⚡👦🏻

Harry, Mary, Roxy and Ron were walking through crowded halls. Sir Nicholas and a lady ghost float by.
"Have you heard? Harry Potter's the new Gryffindor Seeker, and Mary Potter the chaser. I always knew they'd do well" said Sir Nicholas
"

Seeker and Chaser? But first years never make their house teams! You must be the youngest Quidditch players in..." said Ron
"A century, according to McGonagall" said Mary
"To be perfectly correct, I'm the youngest player in a century" said Harry
"Oh come on Harry, ten minutes" said Mary

Fred and George approached and walked along with the group.

"Hey, well done, Harry, Wood's just told us" said Fred
"

Fred and George are on the team, too. Beaters" said Ron
"Our job is to make sure that you don't get bloodied up too bad Can't make any promises, of course. Rough game, Quidditch" said George
"Brutal. But no one's died in years. Someone will vanish occasionally... " said Fred
"But they'll turn up in a month or two" shouted George over his shoulder as the red haired twins walked off
"Oh, go on, Harry, Quidditch is great. Best game there is! And you'll be great, too" said Ron
"You guys were brilliant in the air" said Roxy
Hermione, knowing what Harry is talking about, jumps up from her work and came to join them.

"But we've never even played Quidditch. What if we make fools of ourselves" said Mary
"

You won't make a fool of yourselves. It's in your blood" said Hermione
👦🏻⚡👧🏻

Later, the five approached a trophy case. Hermione pointed at a plaque of Quidditch players. One listed James Potter as a chaser then Seeker.
"Whoa. Harry, you never told me your father was a Seeker, too" exclaimed Ron
"

We didn't know" said Harry and Mary in unison.
