⁰⁵ | Not the Aiden I know

Chapter 5:

It was now really early on Saturday. Aiden was still a part of the Gryffindor quidditch team and they were going for a very early quidditch practice and he wasn't a fan. The weekends were times were he could just sleep in and just chill in the common room and do nothing all day, but that's when Wood decided to announce an early practice round. Aiden was walking next to Harry, who was walking alongside Oliver Wood. The boy was walking along annoyed as ever, he wasn't even sure if he could properly practice with this attitude, but at this point, he kinda had no choice.

"I spent the summer devising a whole new Quidditch program." Oliver Wood began as they walked through the castle halls at a quick pace. "We are going to train earlier, harder and longer." He finished. Aiden groaned at the news. This made his attitude even worse than it already was. They were about to enter the courtyard when Wood spotted the Slytherin Quidditch team. "What--? I don't believe it."

"Where do you think you're going, Flint?" Oliver asked as he stared directly at Flint, Slytherin's quidditch captain. Flint smirked his way."Quidditch Practice." He answered simply.

"I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today." Flint reached into his pocket and took out a note from his quidditch robes, he handed it to Oliver with a smirk on his face. "Easy, Wood. I've got a note." Oliver took the note, not exactly believing that it was a real note. He opened it carefully and decided then and there to read out loud.

Hermione, Ron and Hayden had come over, they were seated in the courtyard and had seen the commotion that had started happening. They joined Aiden and Harry and listened on with the rest of the students. "I, Professor Severus Snape, do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice today, owing to the need to train their new seeker." Oliver read out loud, he lowered the note and looked up at the Slytherins.

"You've got a new seeker. Who?" He asked almost immediately. None of the Slytherin students said anything just moved aside and from inside the crowd out stepped Draco. He wore a smirk on his face. Both Aiden and Harry looked shocked at his appearance. Well, the blue-eyed boy was more annoyed at his appearance. "You've got to be fucking kidding me... can this day get any worse?" Aiden muttered, his hands clasped over his face, dropping his broom in the process.

"Malfoy?" Harry asked in shock. "That's right," Draco said as the smirk on his face only grew. Aiden walked to the group and leaned against a pillar waiting for this to finish. He could still hear what they were saying, of course, his hearing was still loads better than other students. He had asked his father but he couldn't explain it either, which he was pretty annoyed by.  "And that's not all that's new this year." He said as he showed off his broom. Hayden had in the meantime joined his brother at the back of the crowd and also leaned against a pillar. "Well, you seem to be in a bad mood." He said suddenly, Aiden glared at his brother.

"Really? I didn't notice." 

"Ah come on don't be like that, just watch this, I bet that'll be fun." he nodded his head towards the two quidditch teams, Aiden rolled his eyes at Hayden and shook his head. "There was a reason why I went to stand over here, you idiot."

"I know that, but you can still hear it anyway so might as well make the best of it. I bet 'Mione is going to say something hilarious to the bleached blonde, Or maybe Harry will." Hayden said followed by a chuckle. Somehow Hayden had made his brother's mood a slight bit better, a thing that only two people could do. The twins stood at the back of the crowd, listening to what they were saying, not like they had much of a choice...

Ron, who was now standing next to Harry, looked down at the brooms and recognised them immediately. Remembering seeing them in Diagon Alley. "Those are Nimbus 2001s! How did you get those?" He asked, shocked at the discovery. Marcus looked up at Ron and smirked. "A gift from Draco's father." Draco turned his head towards Ron, he let out a short chuckle.
