"There! Finally all done!" Adam declared. Harry groaned as he woke up. They had been given a room in the weasley's house to spend the night. Harry looked towards Adam's bed but saw it was empty. Glancing around the room he saw Adam standing and holding his wand out but Adam's hair had turned pink.

Harry started laughing. Adam was glaring at Harry. "Yeah, that one got through me when I woke up. The room was full of traps then. Now it's all cleared. You should thank me rather than laughing." Harry laughed more as he pulled out a vial from his trunk. (They kept shrunken trunks with them). Adam snatched the vial of potion from Harry and drank it all. His hair changed a few colors before returning to it's normal black.

They both headed down for breakfast soon after. The Weasley parents were up as well as Charlie. Charlie had a grin on his face as he greeted both Harry and Adam. Harry guessed the reason for Charlie's grin but wouldn't get his hopes up just yet.

"Guess What? Dad's agreed." Charlie told Harry as went to get something for Harry and Adam. Mr. Weasley put down the newspaper that he was holding. "Yes I have but you must swear an oath to never use any of your powers against any Weasley first." Mr. Weasley declared.

Harry was a bit perturbed by that news but agreed nonetheless. But he did add a clause of self-defense and retaliation in the oath being the Slytherin that he was. Charlie took Harry to an empty room where Harry swore the oath and by the time they returned, the rest of the Weasley family as well as John Potter were awake.

"What's wrong Harry, did Mum and Dad forbid you to come home or are you too scared to go?" John smirked. "Oh yeah, real scared." Harry replied mockingly but didn't even turn to face John.

"What are you still doing in my home Potter?" Ron practically yelled.

"I think he's asking you something John seeing as you are more the 'Potter'" Harry smirked as Ron was even further angered. Ginny was about to say something when Charlie yelled, "ENOUGH! You will treat my guests with respect just as I treat yours. Now if you all will excuse us, I think I have a Quidditch match to play against Harry."

Harry, Adam and Charlie went outside without another word. The rest were muttering to each other about the match. Unable to contain themselves, all of them followed.

Soon Charlie and Harry got on to their brooms. To his credit, Charlie actually had a decent Nimbus 2000 broom. Harry had his 2001. The snitch was released and given a full minute to disappear. And then both of them took off.

The bloody problem with seeking was, it depended too much on luck. It took five minutes for the snitch to first show itself. Harry had seen it first but Charlie was a bit closer to it. Both of them raced towards the snitch and Harry was able to cut off the difference as they were both neck to neck after the snitch.

Harry started to feel the energy in the air again but he gripped his broom tighter with one hand. Looking at the snitch he saw it turn towards Charlie as Charlie snatched it from the air. The feel of energy vanished just as Charlie snatched it and Harry understood the implications.

Charlie's siblings as well as John were clapping loudly. "You cheated!" Harry accused Charlie. Charlie looked guiltily at him for a while before smiling. "That's one reason I didn't go professional in Quidditch." They were both still hovering in the air.

"I can't control myself when the adrenaline pumps in and if that had happened in professional match, I would've been banned plus the fact that I'm an elemental would've been all over the news." Charlie sighed.
