Leo's Pov, 

Standing on the field with the broom next to me and Hermione on the other side soon Madame Hooch walks our way. It's our first flying lesson! I want to be a... a seeker or a chaser! 

"Good afternoon, class." She says as she walks through the path before we all answer. "Good afternoon, Madam Hooch."

"Good afternoon, Leo." she says as she walks past me and I give her a smile before saying. "Good afternoon." I answer back, Madame Hooch has been well 'helping' me fly whenever mother thinks I needed it, It's been fun and sometimes I was even allowed to train with some of the Quidditch teams under her watchful eyes, so I'm here on this lesson because I have to be not necessarily because I need it. 

"Welcome to your first flying lesson. What are you waiting for? Step up to your broomstick. Come on now, hurry up. Stick your hand over the broom and say, Up". She says as we all step to the broomsticks. 

"Up." I simply say and the broom flies up into my hand while I hear the other also all call or well yell up and Harry is the second one to take the broom before it's followed up by Draco. "With feeling." Madame Hooch says as the other are slowly but surely getting there before some laughter leaves my lips as the broom slams into Ron's face. 

"Shut up you too." He says to me and Harry while I have to bite the inside of my cheek to not start laughing louder and louder, but not long after everyone finally is holding their broom. 

"Now, once you've got hold of your broom, I want you to mount it. Grip it tight. You don't wanna be sliding off the end. When I blow my whistle, I want you to kick off from the ground, hard. Keep your broom steady, hover for a moment......then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle. Three, two..."  She says and we do as instructed before Neville starts to fly off! 

And after that is all happened so quickly?! Neville flying off as his broom goes absolutely crazy and slams into the walls of the castle, Madame Hooch yelling for him to land his broom! Him getting stuck on this spear of one of the statutes before falling down towards the ground with a loud yell and tud! 

"Everyone out of the way!" Madame Hooch yells as Neville is surrounded by students and they quickly move for her as she reaches the boy who whimpers in pain. "Oh, dear, it's a broken wrist. Poor boy. Come on now, up you get. Keep your feet on the ground while I take him to the hospital wing. Understand? If I see a single broom in the air......the one riding it will be expelled before they can say Quidditch."  She says as she starts to lead Neville away while I shake my head, poor Neville. 

"Did you see his face? If he had squeezed this, he'd have remembered to fall on his arse." Draco says as he holds the Remembrall that's Neville's while some students laugh.

"Give it back Malfoy." 

"I would advice you to hand it back Draco." Me and Harry say at the same time as we step forward, not this fool again. "No. I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find. How about on the roof? What's the matter, Potter? Bit beyond your reach?" Draco says as he mounts his broom and flies off making me quickly follow after him as I hop on my broom. 

"Give it here or I'll knock you off your broom." Harry says as he hovers in the air next to me and I nod my head in agreement as Harry moves past Draco to grab the Remembrall but the blonde boy just dodges him. 

"Have it your way then." Draco says as he throws the ball and I quickly fly after it coming closer and closer to the castle wall I quickly grab the Remembrall before turning moving my broom around as I hold onto it tightly. Letting my eyes move around I see Harry fly in the distance making me yell out to him.  "Harry catch!" I yell as I throw the ball his way and he zooms after it before catching it as we now both start to fly down towards the cheering students who run our way, seeing Harry get off of his broom he runs to the cheering students who soon move around the boy while I hover a bit more over the ground. 

"Harry Potter, Leonidas Black." The voice of mother says and I gulp down as she looks our way, letting my feet hit the ground I know this isn't going to end well. "Follow me." She says as she starts to walk away and me and Harry quietly follow after her. 

"We're in so much trouble." I whisper to Harry who quickly nods his head as we keep walking after mother before we reach Profesor's Quirrell classroom and she turns to us. "Wait here." And all I can do is quickly nod my head to not get in more trouble! 

"Professor Quirrell, excuse me. Could I borrow Wood for a moment?" She says as she moves to the open door of the Classroom and not long after she walks out with Oliver Wood who's the captain of the Gryffindor quidditch team. Wait so no detention?! 

"Potter, this is Oliver Wood.

Wood, I have found you a Seeker and a Chaser." Mother now says and I tilt my head to the side with confusion. "So we aren't in trouble? Wait how can I even join the team if I don't belong to a house." I ask mother with confusion, like how can I play for Gryffindor if I don't belong to the house?! 

"You don't wish to play? " 

"I do, just don't mind me." I quickly say as I nod my head who wouldn't wanna play Quidditch! It's the best thing ever!  

............................................................

Seeing Harry run over to me I raise my brow but before I can say anything I'm being pulled away as we run through the hallways. "I uhm hello Harry?!" I say as he slams me almost against the wall while we run towards the corridor that holds the Gryffindor house trophies and quidditch trophies. 

"It's in your blood!" He almost yells as we reach the cabinet and I comes to a stop. "Look your parents where also chasers and so was Professor McGonagall." He says as he points at the badges where the names are making me nod my head. "I know, I grew up in this castle remember." I say with a shake of my head as I start to walk away from the boy who's quick to fall in pace with me. 

"I wish I could have grown up here, it looks so cool." He says and I chuckle at his words. "It has been fun, I can't deny that one." I say as I see Daphne and Blaise walk over to me, they are in Slytherin but well aren't like *cough* Draco Malfoy who I think fell on his head a couple of times as an infant.  "They told me that uhm your mother was my aunt." Harry says and I release a sigh. "She was yes." 

"Why are we only now hearing you didn't get expelled but became a chaser...... and why for Gryffindor? Slytherin could have used you." Daphne says with a roll of her blue eyes making me release a chuckle. "I don't know maybe because that's what the sorting hat said first, either way I'm the youngest chaser in about 3 centuries." 

"Fancy, fancy now come on I've grown quite a appetite." Blaise says and I chuckle as I turn to Harry. "You wish to join us?" I ask him and he shakes his head quickly. "N-no no it's alright I'll see you later." He says and I nod my head. 

"OW the look on Malfoy's face when we told him you became a chaser I think nothing will ever be better." Daphne says as we start to walk towards the Great Hall. "I just can't believe they made you fly for Gryffindor." Blaise says with a roll of his eyes. 

"Don't worry I won't beat you guys to much." I say with a smirk before I shove the boy and start to run away with them chasing behind me. "Get back here Black!" 

"You'll never catch me Zawini!" I yell back as I push past the students and not long after I hear the voice of the mostly serious boy. "It's Zabini!"
