THE NEXT MORNING, IT was the first of november. winter was soon approaching as frost began to gather on the windows at hogwarts. the first of november meant one thing at hogwarts, it was now quidditch season.
on that particular november first, harlow had awoken late. she quickly got ready and ran upstairs to the great hall. harlow pushed the doors open to find all of her classmates staring at her. amongst all the staring, she saw cedric smirk at her. the awkwardness of everyone's eyes on her mortified harlow as she walked to the slytherin table and sat next to draco malfoy.
"do you know what today is potter?" the malfoy boy asked.
"no? am i supposed to?" harlow replied, confused.
"today, is the start of quidditch season" told draco.
"so? who cares."
harlow never really understood the big deal about sports. she didn't see how anyone could care that much about something as simple as catching a ball. to harlow, sports were just silly games, not to be taken so seriously.
"who cares? everyone does" draco said in a snotty tone. "today we're gonna beat your brother and his idiotic team of gryffindors"
before harlow could say another word, she was distracted by harry's owl hedwig flying in. hedwig was carrying a long package. the owl laid the package down in front of harry at the gryffindor. as harlow watched from a far, she saw harry open up the package. in it was a new broomstick.
"who gave him a nimbus 2000" draco raged.
ϟ
by eleven o'clock, the students of hogwarts began to fill in the stands around the quidditch pitch. harlow was walking with hermione and ron, while harry was in the locker room getting ready with the rest of his team. harlow, in that moment, was conflicted. who did she root for? her house or her brother?
harlow decided to sit with hermione and ron in the gryffindor section. she could practically feel all of the slytherins eyes burning into the back of her head. harlow sat between hermione and ron.
"hello, and welcome to hogwarts' first quidditch game of the season! Today's game, slytherin versus gryffindor!!!" lee jordan, a gryffindor student who was the announcer of the game spoke.
everyone began to cheer, madam hooch stepped out in the middle of field to begin the game.
"now, I want a nice clean game from all of you" madam hooch said, and with that she started the game.
