Water and Magic Do Mix

Quidditch Training and a Sirius Chat

No one's POV
It was early morning on a Sunday. The trio were in the Great Hall for breakfast. Harry was thinking about the letter he sent to Sirius and his conversation with Cho.

Ron on the other hand, was nervous for his first quidditch practice. He was worried he'd be lousy.

Hermione as usual was busy with thinking about her classes. She noticed Harry sit beside her and Ron and was cheerful. She asked,"what are you so happy about"."Uh.. quidditch later". Ron piped in," do you fancy going out a bit earlier, do you? Just to give me some practice before training? So I can get some eye in a bit..."

"Yeah sure." Harry said.

"I don't think you should. Look at the amount of homework you both have piled on",Hermione scolded them. But they heard none of it.

Soon the owls arrived bringing the post. " Anything interesting?" Ron asked eager to get off the subject of homework. " No just some guff about the bass player in the Weird Sisters getting married..... Wait a moment.. oh no Sirius!" Hermione exclaimed in fear.

"What happened?" Harry asked snatching the paper so violently that it tore in half and Hermione having the other half of the article.

The ministry of magic has received a tip off from a reliable source that Sirius Black, mass murderer, blah blah blah is currently hiding in London.

"Lucius Malfoy. I'll bet anything. He recognised Sirius at the platform." Harry said angrily. Ron looked at Harry shocked.

Hermione continued reading the article.

The ministry warns the wizarding community that black is dangerous , mass murderer .... Broke out of Azkaban ... Killed thirteen people.... The usual rubbish. Well he just won't be able to leave the house anymore. Dumbledore did warn him not too."

Harry looked down sadly at the Daily Prophet hoping he could talk to Alexis and ask if everyone was alright. But she wasn't there today either. He was wishing she be here.

Soon Harry and Ron proceeded towards the quidditch field to practice.

Others from the Griffindor quidditch team came on the field to play. Angelina being the captain ordered everyone to take positions.

They did some warm ups first. They passed the Quaffle to one another for warm up and see how good Ron keeps up. The Slytherin show up with Malfoy in the lead.

Harry and others were practicing but Ron was not able to keep at Bay his embarrassment because of Slytherins' comments. They tried to help motivate Ron but he couldn't help it.

But one person brought hope to the field and the game.

"Slytherins don't you have somewhere else to be. Malfoy and gang.?" Professor King was there.

" We were just leaving Professor." Malfoy said and left with his posse.

But during this happened , Ron threw the Quaffle a little too hard which crashed into Katie's nose. It did hurt her. The twins tried to help but ended up making it worse.

Angelina was very disappointed at this. She did not want the practice to go this bad. But now she couldn't help it. Everyone dispersed then except Harry and Ron .

Pierce's POV
I couldn't bear to look the disappointed look on Harry and Ron so I decided to help them.

I had just returned from home after visiting Remus and Sirius and came to the castle before anyone started asking questions, not that I care but still.
