Quidditch

The next morning, in the great hall. The gang is sitting and eating. Harry is twirling his food on a fork. Ron: "Take a bit of toast, mate, go on." Hermione: "Ron's right, Harry. You're gonna need your strength today." Harry: "I'm not hungry." Snape appears at the table. Snape: "Good luck today, Potters. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you...even if it is against Slytherin." Snape walks off, limping. Harry notices this. Harry: "That explains the blood." Hermione: "Blood?" Harry: "Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that 3 headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping." Hermione: "But why would anyone go near that dog?" Harry: "The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts' business, very secret." Hermione: "So you're saying..." Harry: "That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants." Hedwig and Scarlet screech as they enter the Great Hall. She is carrying a very large, long parcel. She drops it off at the table. Hermione: "Bit early for mail, isn't it?" Harry: "But I-I never get mail." Ron: "Let's open it." They open it to reveal a broomstick. Y/n opens her package. Harry: "They're broomsticks!" Ron: "Thats not just any broomstick, Harry. [recognizing the model] It's a Nimbus 2000!" Harry: "But who...?" He notices Professor McGonagall up at the head table, stroking Hedwig. She smiles and Harry nods. Y/n: "Mine's from..." Hermione: "A Silver Arrow!" Rons' eyes widen. Ron: "Really?" Y/n nods. Draco: "The Potters have brooms?" Flitwick: "Yes, McGonagall mentioned them-" Y/n: " Hermione look!" She shows Hermione the initials carved into the broom. NM <3. Y/n: "NM! Natalya Maximoff!" Flitwick: "B-But her broom was lost after she died! It was the last Silver Arrow in existence since the others were destroyed in the War and they were discontinued." Harry: "What's a Silver Arrow?" Hermione: "Since Gladys Boothby was unable to produce enough Moontrimmers to meet the high demand, the production of the Silver Arrow was welcomed. The Silver Arrow was the true forerunner of the racing broom, capable of reaching much higher speeds than the Oakshaft and Moontrimmer-up to seventy miles per hour with a tailwind, but again the Silver Arrow was the work of a single wizard and demand far outstripped supply." Y/n: "Natalya..." 

~Later on~

Inside a Quidditch tower. The Gryffindor team is marching towards the starting gate. They reach it and stop, behind a closed double door. Oliver: "Scared, Harry?" Harry: "A little." Oliver: "That's all right. I felt the same way before my first game." Harry: "What happened?" Oliver: "Er, I don't really remember. I took a bludger to the head 2 minutes in. Woke up in the hospital a week later. What about you Y/n?" Y/n: "This broom has won over 26 professional games. I'll be good." Oliver:: "A Silve rArrow?" Y/n: "Natayla Maxioffs broom-" Oliver: "No way!" Y/n: "Her initials are carved into the broom handle. Harry gulps and looks straight ahead as the doors open. They mount their brooms and zoom out onto the enormous pitch. There is cheering. Lee Jordan, the Quidditch commentator is announcing from a tower. Lee: "Hello, and welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game is Slytherin versus Gryffindor!!!" Cheering. Close-up of Gryffindor students. They are cheering. Neville: "Gryffindor!" The players take their positions in the air in a circle. Harry weaves in, highest amongst. He looks down. Lee: "The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game." Hooch: "Now, I want a nice clean game...from all of you." She looks at Slytherin. She kicks the trunk, and the bludgers zoom out. Lee: "The bludgers are up...followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember, the snitch is worth 150 points. The seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game." The snitch zooms around each Seeker's head, then disappears. Hooch grabs the Quaffle. Lee: "The Quaffle is released...and the game begins!" Y/n grabs a quaffle. Y/n: "Do I throw it from here?" Hooch: "If you can make-" Y/n makes a goal from the center of the field. Lee: "Y/n Potter scores! 10 points to Gryffindor!" He pushes a button and a 10 shows up besides a plaque. Lee: "Gryffindor takes possession of the ball and a chaser, Angelia Johnson, zooms past the Slytherins towards their goal and throws the ball, and scores!" There is a ding. Lee: "Angelina Johnson scores! 10 points for Gryffindor!" He presses a button and a 20 shows up beside a plaque with Gryffindor's name. Y/n flies next to Angelina. Y/n: "You grab I throw?" Angelina: "Perfect." Harry, in the air, claps. Harry: "Yes!" A bludger suddenly zooms by him. Harry: "Whoa!" In the stands, Gryffindor cheers. Hagrid: "Well done!" Lee: "Slytherin takes possession of the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint." Y/n flies upside down following Flint. Flint dodges people and throws for the Gryffindor hoops. Oliver appears and whacks the ball away with his broom. Y/n catches it. Y/n: (In a sing-song voice) "Thank you!" Y/n tosses the ball into the Slytherin goal. Oliver: "You have an insane throw." Y/n: "Well with Angelina distracting the keepers with the other Quaffle and the beaters and seeker busy I could easily make it into the hoop." He smirks at Flint, who glares. Johnson and Y/n pass the quaffle on the left. Lee: "Potter throws the Quaffle across the field making it into the hoop. Skill that was only seen by Natalya Maximoff!" Snape: "Is she using magic?" McGonagall: "No, she's a Maximoff. Natayla is her grandmother, it's in her blood. Besides, I watched her do the same thing in training." Lee: "The Quaffle; back and forth as they strategize to score. Johnson takes it, throws, and once again scores!" Ron and Seamus: "Yay!" Harry: "Yes!" Lee: "Another 10 points to Gryffindor!" He adds another 10 to the score with a ding. Y/n while upside down does a finger gun motion to the Gryffindor side. Then she throws the Quaffle into the center hoop; scoring. Gryffindors: "Yay!" The Slytherins decide to get messy. They dodge, kick, and try to score. Once again, Oliver blocks. Flint: "Give me that!" He grabs a beater's bat from one and whacks a bludger right at Oliver. It hits Oliver directly in the stomach and he plummets to the ground, knocked out. This causes the entire audience to boo; Harry is visibly upset as the Slytherins laugh. The Slytherin members head off. One jumps over George and almost scores. Y/n catches the quaffle right before it reached the hoop. Y/n: "Angelina, duck!" Angelina ducks as Y/n throws the quaffle over her head and into a hoop. Lee: "Potter creates an amazing magical save and scores another ten points!" Everyone but Slytherin is cheering loudly. Flint looks shocked. Y/n: "Better luck next time!" Y/n shoots off. Flint: [to his teammates] "Take that side!" They box Alicia Spinnet in and sent her into the capes covering one of the towers. She falls down in and is out. The crowd boos. Slytherin scores once again. Suddenly, Harry sees the Snitch. He starts to head off after it and then suddenly his broom starts bucking and turning. Harry: "Whoa! Whooa!" Hagrid: "What's going on with Harry's broomstick?" Y/n shoots in front of Quirrell and stays there waiting for Angelina to toss her the Quaffle. Y/n: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Y/n's broom suddenly jerks around. Y/n: I'm not dealing with this. Y/n levitates above the broom, only half of an inch. Snape turns his gaze to Y/n. Y/n catches a quaffle and chucks it at a goal. Y/n then turns the broom so she's flying upside down Harry's broom starts acting up again. Y/n: "I guess I'll play upside down." Hermione looks through binoculars at Harry, then at Snape, who is visibly muttering. Hermione: "It's Snape! He's jinxing the broom!" Ron: "Jinxing the broom? What do we do?" Hermione: "Leave it to me." She hands Ron her binoculars and leaves the stands. Harry is knocked and thrown around, then falls, dangling by one arm from the broom. Ron: [concerned] "Come on, Hermione!" Hermione is hurrying up in the tower structures. She appears underneath Snape and touches his cloak with her wand. Hermione: [quietly] "Lacarnum Inflamarae." A spark ignites and Snape's cloak catches fire. Hermione quickly leaves. Man: "Fire! You're on fire!" Snape: "What? Oh!" He knocks the man back, who falls into Quirrell, who then also falls. Snape bats out the fire and acts as though nothing happened. The broom stopped bucking, and Harry climbs back on. The Slytherin seeker is after the Snitch. Harry takes off. Y/n flies by upside down with a quaffle in hand. Adrian Pucey follows confused about how she was flying that way. Adrian: "How are you not throwing up?" Y/n: "I don't know." Adrian: "How aren't you falling?" Y/n: "Dunno. Although I also don't care if I fall." Adrian: "Teach me your ways." Y/n: "Sure!" All the teachers stare at the two confused. McGonagall: "Why are you flying upside down?" Y/n: *To McGonagall's mind* 'Oh! Quirrell tried to kill Harry and me.' McGonagall looks horrified. Adrian and her fly off. Adrian: "You're sliping." Y/n: "I know." Y/n drops off of the broom and while falling with her broom following her she scores another goal. She then grabs her broom in one hand and twists the broom to be upright. Adrian: "Are you okay?" Y/n: "Why are you worried?" Adrian: "I don't want my teacher to be unavailable." Ron: "Go!" Hagrid: "Go go go!" Harry rams the Slytherin Seeker, then is butted out. He returns, smashing the Seeker again as the Snitch dives. The boys follow, but they approach the ground quickly. The Slytherin Seeker backs out, and Harry pulls up his broom as he follows the Snitch, feet above the ground. Harry stands up, and steps forward, trying to grab the ball. He goes too far, and topples off the broom with a yelp, tumbling to the ground. He gets up and lurches. The crowd gasps. Hermione appears beside a tower to see. Hagrid: "Looks like he's gonna be sick!" Harry lurches and the Snitch pops out of his mouth. It lands in his hands. Lee: "He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!" Hooch blows her whistle whilst riding on her broomstick. Hooch: "Gryffindor win!" The crowd cheers in joy including Gryffindor Draco: [dismayed] "No!" Hagrid: "Yes!" Hermione: "Whoo-hoo!" Adrian: "Good game." Y/n: "Good game." Adrian: "You've probably been asked this a lot but is your hair dyed?" Y/n: "No. I was born with it." Adrian: "Right. So, when do you want to-" Flint: "Whats going on here?" Y/n: "I'm going to teach Adrian some of my tricks." Flint: "Why?" Y/n: "Because I would be very happy if other chasers start using my tricks. It's a sign of respect. Besides they're not my tricks. They're second nature to me." McGonagall giggles happily. Harry raises the Snitch into the air and the crowd, and his team, cheer. Crowd: "Go go Gryffindor! Go go Gryffindor! Go go Gryffindor! Go go Gryffindor!" Y/n: "Every Saterday after Lunch?" Adrian: "Sure." Y/n: "You're going professional, even if it's the last thing I do!" Adrian: "Adrian Pucey, Pureblood. Thirteen." Y/n: "Y/n Natayla Potter, Pureblood. Eleven. Adopted." Adrian: "Pureblood?" Y/n: "Long line of Witches, Warlocks, and Mutants." Adrian's eyes widen. Adrian: "That's cool." Y/n: "What since I'm pureblood, I'm not too bad?" Adrian: "If only you were Slytherin." Y/n: "My mother and uncle are and were Slytherin." Adrian: "How'd you get Gryffindor?" Y/n: "The Hat couldn't sort me so I just asked to be with Harry." Adrian: "Oh. So you would've been in Slytherin." Y/n: "I would've been satisfied in Slytherin." Adrian: "See you Saturday!" Y/n: "Yeah!" 

~Saturday~

Y/n drops the box of Quidditch equipment. Adrian: "Good Afternoon." Y/n: "Hi." Y/n: "How far can you throw a Quaffle?" Adrian: "Ummmm." Y/n: "Okay. Try to throw it into that hoop." Y/n points to a hoop from across the field. Adrian: "What?" Y/n: "Try." Adrian throws the Quaffle and it lands a mile away. Y/n: "You need to work on that." Adrain: "Like you can." Y/n jogs to one set of hoops before throwing the Quaffle into the center hoop on the other side. Adrian: "What?" Y/n: "It's in my blood. My Grandmother was a Chaser." Y/n walks off. Adrian follows. Y/n: "Grab your broom." Y/n levitates into the air. Y/n: "If you fall, I'll catch you." Adrian: "O-okay." Adrian flies up to where she was levitating. Y/n: "You'll need to quickly turn upside down." Adrain does so. Y/n: "You need to be confident or your broom will buck you off. Trust me to catch you." Adrian: "Okay." Adrian takes a deep breath. Y/n: "You okay?" Adrain: "Ye-Yes." Y/n creates a soft net underneath him and around the pitch. Y/n: "Better?" Adrian: "Yes." Y/n: "Okay. Try flying around now." Adrian does. ???: "What's going on?" y/n: "Training." Adrian: "Ahh!" Y/n: "Just hold onto the broom normally." ???: "What?!" Y/n turns to look down and sees the Hufflepuff team. Y/n: "Sorry. I didn't see that the pitch was booked." ???: "It wasn't we just thought it'd be a good idea to get in some extra practice." Y/n: "Oh. One hand on the broom at all times!" Adrain nods. Y/n: "Catch!" Y/n tosses Adrain the Quaffle. Adrain catches it and flies towards the hoops. Y/n: "Underhand!" Adrian tosses it. Y/n: "Turn upright!" Adrian does so almost falling off his broom. Y/n: "Good enough for now." Adrain: "Thanks. I'm a bit dizzy-" Adrian falls off of his broom. Y/n catches him with regular magic. Adrain: "Thanks. The world is spinning." Y/n: "Here have a Gatorade (Invented 1965) It'll help. Don't be upside down for more than five minutes at a time it can cause brain damage." ???: "How?" Y/n: "When we hang upside down, the force of gravity causes all the blood in our bodies — about 2 gallons — to start to rush to our heads, giving us that dizzy and lightheaded feeling. This is what Adrain is feeling now from being upside down. It gets worse the longer you are upside down." ???: "Cedric Diggory. Captian and Seeker." Y/n: "Y/n Potter. Chaser." Adrian: "Adrain Pucey. Chaser." ????: "Malcolm Preece. Chaser." ???: "Heidi Macavoy. Chaser." ???: "Tamsin Applebee. Chaser." ???: "Maxine O'Flaherty. Beater." ???: "Anthony Rickett. Beater." Herbert Fleet. Keeper." Y/n: "Nice to meet you. Y/n places Adrian onto the floor as she waves her hand making the net disappear. Cedric: "Is that a Silver Arrow?" Y/n: "Yeah. It was Natalya Maxioffs broom." Cedric: "That's cool." Y/n: "If you'd like I can teach your keeps how to fly upside down." Cedric: "Thanks. Are you sure you're not a Hufflepuff?" Y/n: "Gryffindor. My mother would've been a Slythern and my father would've been a Hufflepuff." Cedric: "Would you like to sit with us at dinner and talk about quidditch?" Y/n: "Sure."
