The girl who lived with secrets

6.practice and trolls

(Outside in the courtyard, day time. Oliver and Harry appear, carrying a trunk. They put it down.)

"Hey look it's young Oliver" Angela said making Oliver blush as he's embarrassed

Oliver -  is easy enough to understand. Each time has seven players, 3 chasers, 2 beaters, 1 keeper and a seeker. That's you. There are three kinds of balls. (picks up a red one) This one's called the Quaffle. Now, the chasers handle the Quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops. (Points to the hoops in the Quidditch pitch in the distance.) The keeper, that's me, defends the hoops. (throws ball to Harry.) you with me so far?

Harry - (throws back) yes sir What are those? (points to two squirming chained down balls.)

Oliver - You better take this. (hands Harry a small bat. He bends down and releases one ball.With an angry growl, up in the air. it flies off into the air. The both watch it.) Careful now, it's comin' back. (The balls comes whizzing down, and Harry cracks at it with the bat. The ball soars off through a statue, surprisingly without damaging it.)

As Quidditch fans cheer

Oliver - not bad, Potter, you'd make a fair beater... Uh-oh. (The ball zooms down, and Oliver grabs it, wriggling to get it back in the box. He succeeds and is out of breath.)

Harry - What is that?

Oliver - Bludger. Nasty little buggers. But you are a seeker, and the only thing I want you to worry about is this... the Golden Snitch. (hands Harry a walnut sized golden ball.)

Harry - I like this ball.

Oliver - Ah, you like it now. Just wait. It's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see.

Harry - What do I do with it?

Oliver - You catch it... before the other team's seeker. You catch this, the game is over. You catch this, Potter, and we win. (The ball flutters out two delicate wings and jumps into the air. Harry keeps an eye on it.)

Harry - Whoa.

(In Professor Flitwick's class. Filtwick is very short, and is standing on a bunch of books to make up for his stature and to see his class.)

Violet leans to Ron and whispers, "You might want to cover all your value organs for when your mum sees this." Ron pales and immediately covers hugs himself, using his arms to shield him from his mother's coming wrath.

Flitwick - One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers? (Hermione raises hers.) Good. Now, uh, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, hmm? The swish and flick. Everyone

Class (including Flitwick) - swish and flick.

Flitwick - Good. And enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then. (The class begin to enunciate and doing the movements on their feathers)

Draco - Wingardium Levio-saaa.

Ron - Wingardrium Leviosar! (he waves his wand really fast numerous times. Hermione stops him.)
