Should We? (Draco x Male!Reader) Book 1

Seekers

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

I went straight to the Gryffindor table this morning. I needed to talk about the others about what we saw but to my surprise, none of them were down here. I suppose I was a little early but I thought at least Hermione would be here. Making my way back to the Slytherin table I heard someone choke on their drink. I look up to see Draco with his mouth open, staring at me in shock. Brushing it off, I sit down at the table before waiting for food. The trio rushed in and sat down at the Gryffindor table just as the post started to arrive. Two parcels that looked the same headed straight for me and Harry.

My owl, Cloak, chirped at me before standing on the thinner end of the parcel. He seemed a bit angry that he'd had to carry this to me so I scratched him under the chin before he flew off. Luckily, I read a little tag on the side of it. It read,

"DO NOT OPEN AT THE TABLE! Inside contains a Nimbus 2000. I don't want everyone knowing about it otherwise they'll want one too."

"A nimbus 2000?" Ron was asking as I walked over to Him, Harry and Hermione with my parcel. "That's the best you can get!" I smile and sit down. "You got one too?" Ron was almost shouting for joy as I nodded. We got up and were almost running to get to our dormitories.

Before we could reach halfway across the corridor from the Great Hall, Draco interrupted us. He quickly grabbed my parcel and felt it. "Those are broomsticks" He threw it back at me and I just about caught it.

"Its not any old broomstick. It's a nimbus 2000. Both of them are." Ron couldn't help it as he started boasting to Draco. "Heard you only got a comet, Malfoy. Yeah they're flashy but they aren't as good as these."

Draco went pink in the face before snapping back. "Shut up Weasley. You couldn't afford the handle for a comet."

Draco was about to come up with something else but he got interrupted by Proffesor Flitwick. "No arguing I hope boys?"

We all shook our heads. "The Potter's have got broomsticks." Draco said smugly. Flitwick just nodded. "Oh yes. Got into your house teams as seekers didn't you? Proffesor McGonagall told me you're quite good." Draco looked up in anger as Flitwick nodded and walked away, muttering to himself.

"That was thanks to you, Malfoy." Harry smirked before pushing past him and leading the way to Gryffindor Common room. "(Y/n) come in. You're basically a Gryffindor." I reluctantly slipped in and went straight to Harry's dorm to open it up.

The nimbus 2000 was a sleek design. The bristles at the base of the broom were tighlty compacted into a sharp tip and the wood was shiny and polished. "Woah" I whispered as I let my hands glide against the broom. "This is amazing."

Ron was bubbling with excitement. "So when are you going to try them out?" Laughing, I shook my head. "Well not now at least."

I made my way back to my common room and waited until 7pm to go out onto the quidditch pitch. Me and Harry were meant to be meeting the team captains to start our training schedule.

I got down to the pitch before everyone so I decided to kick off and soar up and down the pitch and through the goals. I saw Harry kick off and join me about 10 minutes after. The captains signalled us over and we landed with ease. "Nice. Very nice. I understand what Proffesor McGonagal was on about for you two now." Wood spoke up as we ran over. "Tonight is just basics. You'll be training at least 3 days a week."

They set down a crate and Flint kicked it open. Inside were four different size balls.

"There are seven players each side. Three chasers." Flint held up a bright, red, leather ball. "This is the quaffle. The chasers try and get that through any of the three hoops on either end of the pitch. Each hoop is worth ten points. There's one keeper. That would be me for Gryffindor. They guard the hoops and make sure the opposing team don't get the quaffle through. The beaters take care of the bludgers. I'll show you what they do now. Both of you take one."

Wood handed us a bat each as Flint unlocked both of the bludgers. We whipped our heads round as the balls went flying and they turned direction to straight towards us. Thinking quickly, I hit one with the bat while Harry hit the other. Wood and Flint caught them and shoved them back into the crate.

"The last player. Would be you two. Is the seeker. Its the seekers job to catch this." He pulled out a small golden circle with wings. It looked mesmerising as Wood let it go. It zoomed around our heads before landing on the palm of my hand. I gave it back to Wood, who put it in the crate to explain our role.

"All the seekers have to worry about it that golden ball. If your team catches it, it ends the game and gives the team one hundred and fifty points. That's it for now. Anything you'd like to add Flint?"

Wood turned to the other older while he grunted and shook his head. "You two can go back to the castle." We nodded and headed back.

I ate little tea and went straight to sleep as I got to my bed.
