Everlasting ⁂ Harry Potter [1]

Chapter Ten

Liv sat on the edge of one of the windows in an open hall on the side of the castle. She was telling Susan and Hannah all about the flying lesson which she had and the two listened to every word. Compared to the one Liv had, theirs was actually quite boring. And they actually got to fly, Liv didn't even get to do that as, because of all the events, the class was cut short.

"What do you think is going to happen to Harry?" Susan questioned curiously. With being new to Hogwarts, neither one of the three girls really knew how disciplinary measures were handed out at the school. Despite having parents who went to Hogwarts, Susan and Hannah knew as much as Liv did. After all, what parent would tell their children about disciplinary measures and what to do to avoid getting any?

"I just hope he doesn't actually get expelled. Malfoy really deserved to be put in his place. And nobody got hurt, that's what matters." Liv said honestly.

"Have you heard? Harry Potter's the new Gryffindor Seeker. I always knew he'd do well." The voice of Sir Nicholas speaking to another ghost as they passed by caught the attention of the three girls who couldn't help but share curious looks. From getting dragged away from class because he broke the rules, to becoming a Seeker... Well luck seemed to be on Harry's side that day.

"Oh look, there he is." Hannah exclaimed, pointing towards a spot in the hallway where she had just seen Harry pass along with Ron, the two animatedly talking about something; Olivia could guess it was his new position on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

"I'm gonna go ask how his time with Professor McGonagall went." Liv said as she jumped down from her spot and with rushed steps pushed through the people to reach Harry and Ron.

"Hey Olivia! Did you hear? Harry's a Seeker, the youngest in a century." Ron instantly spoke as his eyes spotted her approaching them, making the two boys come to a stop as they gave her a chance to catch up.

"I did, congratulations Harry." She said with a smile sent towards the boy. "So I take it the talk with McGonagall didn't go that bad?" She asked. If he was allowed to become a Seeker, he was surely staying in the school.

"It was her idea." Harry said with a smile on his face. Just like her he believed he was in big trouble when McGonagall came to get him, but it was quite a surprise to find that she was, in a way, rewarding him.

"Hey, well done Harry, Wood's just told us." The unfamiliar voice jumping into the conversation caught the attention of three first years, making them crane their necks to look at the three red heads who had also caught up with them and now walked through the halls alongside the trio. Olivia recognized Oliver, Gwen's brother, but she didn't know who the twins were. Although, she did notice they look quite a lot like Ron, so she could only guess these two were his brothers.

"Fred and George are on the team too; Beaters." Ron explained before adding. "And Oliver is a Chaser."

"Our job is to make sure that you don't get bloodied up too bad. Can't make any promises, of course. Rough game, Quidditch." One of the twins said, while she knew their names and could see the miniscule differences between them, Olivia still didn't know which one was which.
