in this you're any house but slytherin:) also just imagine that draco became the seeker when he was older not in his second year:))
y/h = your house
no warning!
it's friday night. friday nights are all of the students at hogwarts favorite day of the week, not only because the school week is over but because its quidditch night. not the kind of quidditch that madam hooch refs but the kind that all of the students sneak out to watch, even the bookworms.
it's almost 11:15 and you decide that it's time to start heading out to the pitch to get ready. all of the students, no matter the house they're in, coordinate who is going to leave their rooms first, where the prefects should be to help them out, what teams are playing, and all that sort of stuff.
tonight it was y/h versus slytherin. you were the seeker for your team. today, there was talk around the school that slytherin got a new seeker since their one beforehand graduated, you had absolutely no clue who it could be. tonight you and your team were to leave their house first with slytherin following. you were walking with your teammates when you spot the slytherin team you glance at them and then back to your teammates when the boy you were walking next to elbows you and says "oi y/l/n, you've got quite the competition tonight. i heard that malfoy is slytherin's new seeker."
"i can guarantee you he's not anymore competition than the last slytherin seeker was. slytherin's never have good seekers." you say internally screaming because you've liked draco for the longest time. you think it's because of all the bickering you two do towards each other. you were almost always arguing with him either for pestering first years who barely even know how to get to their common rooms or for telling the muggleborn students they were mudbloods. your best friend was a muggleborn student and you couldn't stand to watch him torment her.
you and the slytherin team were flying around the pitch waiting for the stands to fill up. the order of releasing the students for tonight went hufflepuff girls at 11:30, gryffindor boys at 11:35, slytherin boys at 11:40, slytherin and ravenclaw girls at 11:45, hufflepuff boys at 11:50, and gryffindor girls at 11:55.
these nights were chaotic but so much fun. you were surprised that you and your peers have never been caught before but you weren't complaining.
"you look nervous y/n." your best friend hermione says as you fly over to the gryffindor stand.
"blimey, y/n you never look nervous when you're playing quidditch." ron says using lumos to light his wand up. all of the students light their wands to cast light on to the pitch during the night games. "i reckon you're one of the best seekers hogwarts has seen in a long time." ron says looking at you with a furrowed brow.
"well, you see-" you begin to say, but you are cut off by lee jordan announcing the start of the game.
"witches and wizards, welcome to the friday night battle between slytherin's and y/h. you all know the rules so let's begin. finnigan, if you will." on friday night matches it was seamus finnigan's job to release the quaffle in the the air. no one knows why or how this happened, it just did.
you sit over on the far right hand side just behind y/h's hoops waiting to spot the snitch. during these night matches it was almost impossible to catch the snitch because it is so dark. at the end of the games if the snitch wasn't caught someone would accio for it, so the houses decided to place a 100 point cap on the points that could be earned per team. the one with 100 points wins.
you suddenly catch a glimpse of a shining object just in front of the new slytherin seeker. he doesn't even seem to notice that it's almost right in front of his stupid pretty face as he's looking around for it. you discreetly fly over to the snitch while flying right in front of draco as the snitch zooms right past him.
