As everyone started walking away from the field, everyone cheered on Harry and thanked me for giving them a heads up and making sure no one caused any trouble...quite weird for them to thank a Malfoy...

Harry walked with me back to the Gryffindor common room to find Hermione and Ron but they went to get books from the library, leaving a note.

"well, they're gone.." I said to Harry sitting down on the couch taking off my robe and making myself comfortable, while Harry put his books down and got ready for the next class until he came next to me

"Thanks for saving me out there from Madam Hooch, or I would be in detention right now" he said nudging my arm making me smile and answer

"Well, we both would have been going to detention if any teachers found out I went on my broom to get you" I said, looking up to see Professor McGonagall entering the common room...

"As a matter in fact, some teachers did find out" she said looking at Harry and I. We both exchanged shocked and guilt expressions

"Great..." I said muttering next to Harry "we're sorry Professor McGonagall for flying when we weren't meant to..." I said to her in response as Harry nodded looking down

"I want to take you both somewhere, with the skills you both have" Miss McGonagall says to us, changing our expressions into confused now

"where are we going, may I ask?" looking up seeing Professor McGonagall to have an excited face on her

"You'll see, come on now, follow me." we both followed her to see a (kind of) burly boy sitting in the field with brown locks of hair and soft, brown eyes looking at us both. He had then turned towards us, then to Professor McGonagall

"Grace, Harry. This is Oliver Wood and he's the quidditch captain, in charge of all the teams and games." McGonagall explained as she introduced us to him.

"Hello, Grace and Harry" Oliver said to us, shaking hands with each other

"He will show you the rules of quidditch and guide you through, as well as get you onto your houses teams" Professor McGonagall says to us "now Oliver, look after them and I will be on my way. Good luck, Grace and Harry." Miss McGonagall said waving at us while walking away. We waved back in response and faced Oliver now.

"Okay, so we need to get something to get started" Oliver said to us both leading us somewhere, and grabbed a chest 

"mind giving me a hand Harry?" Oliver asks Harry 

"sure." Harry helps Oliver carry this big chest. They both were walking slowly carrying the chunky chest, while I skipped with them next to Harry. 

"Quidditch is easy enough to understand. Each team has seven players, three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and the seeker, that's you two" Oliver said explaining the rules, Harry and Oliver set the big chest on the ground in the middle of the field and Oliver grabs a ball in the middle of the chest and throws it to Harry, as Harry catches it.

"There are three kinds of balls, this one is one's called the Quaffle. Now the chasers handle the Quaffle" Oliver now points his hand towards the three different hoops in the distance 

"and try to put it through one of those three hoops, a keeper, that's me. Defends the hoops, with me so far?" Oliver asks us both.

"I think so" Harry says while passing the ball back to Oliver, I look down back at the chest 

"what are those?" I said looking at the chest with the different balls and there was one going crazy. Oliver puts the ball back into it's place and while grabbing a bat
