The Twins Who Lived

Tryouts and Christmas Breaks

Dahlia sighed as she stepped onto the pitch, "alright everyone, as it says on the slips, today is try outs day. Now, each position will be getting a reserve which is the reason for these tryouts. However a new rule has been added, you must have at least an acceptable in all of your classes to play. If not your benched. As such Marcus Flint, Terrance Higgs and Graham Montague are out until their grades are made up. So those trying out for reserve Chasers and Seeker, will need to pass that requirement for me to consider it, everyone else you have a little leeway but you better get those grades up" she said, looking through her list. Alright, let's start with our keepers, step forward and let's begin.." She said, the training began, she went through each group finding Sutible replacements.

"Quick question Dahlia, Cap said that you were handling brooms?" Dora said, before dinner, everyone was wondering what she had planned for the broom situation. "You'll see" she said ominously, taking a seat at the gryffindor table, she smiled as Ron talked excitedly about making it on as gryffindor's reserve keeper. Owls flew in with the evening mail, landing in front of each head of house and Madam Hooch. Hooch opened her's first, gasping as she saw the carefully packaged brooms that had been shrunk for transportation, along with a note explaining it was for flying class. She smiled, eating while she observed the teachers talk before the heads of hours distributed the Nimbus 2000 to each of the players, both new and old.

"Wait, I thought the twins couldn't fully access the vaults?" Mary asked, confused "that's right, we can't access the money in the vaults. However we can ask for none monetary items up to 10 times every four months, sort of like an allowance. However I didn't use money, griphook explained that the Potter family owned shares in various broom companies, I reached out to griphook. In turn griphook wrote to nimbus and I believe comet to request brooms for the Hogwarts teams and class" Dahlia explained. "In return we gave them permission to sell their brooms with the motto "the kids who lived approved"" Harry added, it was one of the few times they had enjoyed their fame, even briefly.

"Who's all going home for Yule?" pansy asked, the group lounging around the gryffindor common room, so many Slytherins in the house of lion was starting to become a regular sight. A chorus of me sounded off  "I'm staying, mum and dad are going to go visit Charlie in Romania" Ron said, playing chess with Phineas "we'll be staying too" Dahlia said, leaning against Harry "you know the common room is going to be empty" draco pointed out "I know, I'll probably just stay with Harry during break" Dahlia explained "besides, our common is too cold as it is" she added.

"Charlie's in Romania?" Molly asked, curious about what her second eldest son does "yes mama bear, he works on the dragon reserve there" Dahlia confirmed. Molly gasped, hugging her son tighter at the idea of him being around such dangerous beings.

{Scene change, to Christmas break}

Dahlia, Ron and Harry stood on the platform, saying their goodbyes as everyone got ready to go home. "No adventures while we're gone" Daphne warned, she wanted to be there when they did, to at the very least help protect everyone. "We promise" The twins said, amused but secretly pleased by the care. "See if you can find anything on that stone you saw with hagrid" Hermione said before she got onto the train "yes Mia" Dahlia said with exasperated amusement.
