End of last chapter
I walk in and sit next to Draco.
"Are you settled?" He asks. I nod.
(Harry's POV)
Cissy calls an elf to get me a cup of tea and I accept it willingly. I sip on my tea and listen to the others talk. Draco taps my shoulder and nods to the garden. I nod in reply.
"Mother, Father, Harry and I are going to the garden for a little while." Draco says as we stand up.
"Ok, Draco, have fun you two." Cissy says. We quickly walk out of the room before running to the garden.
"So, what are we going to do?" I ask him.
"Have you ever heard of Quidditch?" He asks in return. I nod.
"Yeah, I read about it but never played it." I say. He smirks and grabs my wrist, dragging me to a small shed. He opens it and reveals about 500 different brooms. My eyes widen and I gasp.
"Woah!" I exclaim. He laughs.
"Yeah, I know. Do you know how to play Quidditch?" He asks. I shake my head.
"Then, I'll teach you. Follow me." He says and starts walking away. I quickly run up next to him and we walk to a chest.
"Pick up that side and we'll walk this over to the pitch, my personal Quidditch pitch." He says with pride. I chuckle and pick up one side with a little trouble. We walk over to the pitch and set the chest down. Draco opens the chest and the two black balls start struggling against the restraints.
"Ok, so the scarlet one is called the Quaffle and the 3 Chasers carry it and throw it through the hoops, earning their team 10 points. The 2 black ones are called Bludgers. The 2 Beaters use these bats to knock the Bludgers away from their teammates and/or towards the other team. Now, there are 2 more players on a team resulting in 7 players. There is also one more ball, the Golden Snitch. This player is called the Seeker. That player need to catch the Snitch in order to end the game. The Snitch earns that team 150 points. The last player is the Keeper. They're job is to protect the hoops from the other team's Chasers throwing the Quaffle through them. Those are the players and balls of Quidditch." (Rules with be at the top) He explains to me. I nod in understanding and we get ready to release one of the Bludgers. He hands me one of the bats and lets one of the Bludgers go. It comes racing towards me. I grip the bat tightly and swing at the flying ball. Once I hit it, it goes flying about 6 meters (20 feet).
"Wow, you could be a good Beater but let's see how you are at the other positions." Draco tells me as the Bludger comes flying back towards us. He jumps up and catches it, falling to the ground and trying to hold onto the flailing ball. He scoots towards the box and I quickly rush to his side to help. Together, we get it back into the box and strap it in.
"Ok, let's grab a broom each and see how you are at the Chaser and Keeper positions." He says. I nod and we run back to grab the best brooms that he has. I notice that he doesn't have the newest broom.
"Hey, Draco? How come you don't have the newest model of the Nimbus?" I ask him.
"It's a tradition that's gone back eons, every Malfoy son gets a new broom on their birthday until they turn 17 or someone comes into their inheritance and the Malfoy is their...partner, for a better word. I haven't gotten the new one as it came out after my birthday. In order to get it, the broom has to come out before my birthday." He explains to me. I nod in understanding and grab the last version of the Nimbus. We head back over to the pitch and I push off the ground, flying for the first time.
"Ok, so I'll be Keeper first and what you need to do is to try and get the Quaffle past me through the goal posts. Understand?" He asks me. I nod and he flies down to grab the Quaffle from the trunk. Once he is back to where I am, he tosses me the Quaffle and flies to one side of the pitch. I slowly fly over as I'm still a little unstable on the broom and throw the Quaffle into the right ring, Draco blocking it before it can go through.
"I don't think that Chaser is my thing to be honest. Can I try the Seeker, Draco?" I ask him and he nods. He grabs the Quaffle from me and flies back down to the trunk to grab the Golden Snitch. He flies back up next to me and steadies his broom.
"I'm going to let it go and I want you to wait 30 seconds before searching for it." He tells me. I nod and he releases the Snitch. I see it fly around my head and speed off. I wait a few more seconds before Draco tells me to go. I look around quickly and see it hovering about 3 meters above the middle ring on the farthest side of the pitch. I grip the broom and tear across the pitch, grabbing the Snitch as soon as I can reach it. I fly back overto Draco and he's just staring at me with his mouth open.
"What?" I ask him.
"That was the quickest time I've ever seen, and I've seen the professionals." He tells me. My cheeks heat up a little at the complement.
"Thanks Draco." I say. He nods in response. We play a few rounds of Catch the Snitch before Cissy calls us in for lunch. Draco and I walk back to the broom shed, laughing and messing around. I'm mostly laughing because Draco tried to beat me to the Snitch but I won and he got all pouty that he lost cause he's a sore loser. I'm not sure why he's laughing though. We hear Cissy call for us again and run to the house, trying to race each other. Since I always had to run away from Dudley and his gang, I've gotten really fast. I let Draco think that he's going to win but as we turn the corner, I start sprinting as fast as I can. I beat him to the door and wait for him to catch up. Once he does, he's panting.
"How did you get so fast?" He asks me. I frown and gulp.
"Um, I'd rather not talk about it right now, if that's ok." I tell him. He nods.
"That's fine! Just tell me when you're comfortable." He replies.
"Thanks!" I exclaim with a smile. He links arms with me and leads me to the dining room. Draco takes me to a chair about the middle of the table. He quickly walks round to the other side and sits across from me. Mr. Malfoy and Cissy sit at the ends of the table. Mr. Malfoy claps his hands and about 10 elves appear and start serving us. After we all finish eating, Cissy tells us that it's time for bed. Draco leads me through the mansion again, this time to my bedroom. He walks in with me and sits at the end of my bed.
"So what do you think?" He asks me, obviously nervous. I smile.
"I'm really going to like it here!" I claim. He smiles and gives me a hug. He stands up and heads to the door.
"Good night Harry." He says.
"Good night Draco." I reply as he shuts the door. I get into my pajamas and crawl under the blankets, quickly falling asleep.
