- Just before the next practice session -

- In the changing room -

Harry: *walks into the changing room and up to wood* So. Are you ready to accept me as a member of the team yet?
Oliver: Potter, do you really think you're that important to the team?
Harry: It depends. Do you want a seeker for the match next week?
Oliver: Just face the facts Potter. You're a kid.
Harry: Ok then. *starts walking out*
Fred and George: *comes out and sees Harry leaving*
Fred: Harry?
George: Where are you going? Practice is starting.
Harry: I'm going to hand my resignation letter to McGonagall.
Fred: What?!
George: You can't quit! We need you!
Harry: Not according to you're captain you don't. If you'll excuse me. *leaves the changing room, goes to McGonagall's office and knocks on the door*
McGonagall: *marking some papers* Come in.
Harry: *enters* Good evening professor.
McGonagall: Potter? Aren't you meant to be in practice?
Harry: That's actually why I'm her. *puts the letter on her desk*
McGonagall: *reads it* You're quitting?
Harry: Don't get me wrong professor. I'll go back but only if wood and the girls will actually value me as a player and not see me as a little kid.
McGonagall: Potter, please re-
Harry: Consider my decision? I'm sorry but until they see me as a valuable player I will not be rejoining. *placeshis broom on the table* I won't be needing this now. Have a nice night professor. *goes back to the common room*

Harry goes and sits with his friends and they take it as they didn't want to accept Harry and move on. A few minutes later Angelina comes storming over to Harry.

Angelina: You selfish little rat! How could you quit a week before the first game?! Do you have any idea what you have just done?!
Harry: Really? You're calling me selfish? Well news flash! If you just accepted me on to the team then we wouldn't be having this current issue. I'm not being on a team where all but two members don't appreciate me. So I say this as kindly as possible. Get lost!
Angelina: I don't think you know what you've done though. You've given the cup to Slytherin.
Harry: Oh I knew that. But first of all I'd rather keep my self esteem high and not be on a team where everyone hates me, second of all talk to wood. He's the one that said that you guys don't need me. So I'll say it again. Get lost!
Angelina: Potter you listen here-
Pansy: He said get lost! Are you having trouble hearing? Go on! Shoo!
Angelina: *leaves them alone*
Harry: Thanks Pansy.
Pansy: Don't mention it.
Hermione: The nerve of her. Treats my brother like crap then has the right to call him selfish. If I ever get my hands on her!
Harry: Hermione, I appreciate the offer but I can take care of my problems.

Over the next few days Harry keeps getting backhanded requests to rejoin the team from the girls and wholehearted ones from the twins. One tea time Harry got a letter from McGonagall.

Ginny: What does it say Harry?
Harry: McGonagall wants me in her office after dinner.
Ron: Wonder what she wants.
Harry: I already know.

After dinner Harry goes up to McGonagall's office as he was asked where he is greeted by McGonagall and the whole quidditch team.

Harry: *cautious* What's going on here?
McGonagall: Wood and the girls have something to say.
Harry: *looks at them* Go on then.
Wood: *swallows his pride and sighs* I'm sorry for saying we didn't need you.
Katie: Sorry for underestimating you.
Angelina: I'm sorry for calling you a selfish rat and a bunch of other names.
Alicia: We were in the wrong but we've realised that we took you for granted.
Fred: Harry please rejoin the team.
George: We are begging you.
Harry: *still looking at wood and the girls and smirks* See? That wasn't so hard was it?
Oliver: What?
Harry: I knew you'd break eventually. Didn't think it would take 2 days before the match if I'm honest. But I wanted to see you apologise and realise your mistakes. But now that you have I know professor McGonagall still has my broom.
McGonagall: *pulls it out from behind her desk and gives it to Harry* It's good to have you back Potter.
Harry: See you at practice tomorrow?
Oliver: I guess you will.

Next episode will take place right before the first match.
