Quidditch Trials 2

They began her trial and she did excellently. Her balance with her broom is perfect and all her dives, ducks and blocks were good as she went against the chasers of the team.

She was selected as a Chaser and was kept as a reserve Seeker if something was to happen to the Seeker. Then began Harry's and Davies's trial. The whole crowd cheered when they heard his name. Harry Potter is a celebrity in Quidditch after all.

"Ok boys. I want you to do laps around the stadium and as many as possible in 10 minutes. Ready, set, go," a whistle rang and Harry and Roger flew past most of the crowd into the air on their brooms.

Because of his experience as a seeker and his experience in going high speeds in his flight exercise, Harry has good experience flying as he always felt at home in the air.

He did 10 rounds in 7 minutes at speeds people can't catch up and did another 5 rounds in the last 3 minutes. Roger on the other hand did only 9 rounds total and he is panting for air because of all the force that rammed into him moving at those speeds. Flitwick ticked something on his clipboard.

"Now, I want you to chase around and dodge the bludgers and after that snitch will be released. Those who catch the Snitch 3 times will be selected and the other will be kept as a reserve seeker," explained Flitwick. Both of them nodded, bludgers were released and repeatedly sent their way by the beaters.

Harry dodged them with expert ease and one hit an unlucky Davies who was doing loops in the air celebrating his successful dodging the other bludger.

After that, Snitch was released and both of them zoomed in to catch the fast-moving snitch. It went past them high into the air.

His experience as a Seeker helped Harry as he followed after the snitch and tried to catch it.

After a few misses, Harry caught the snitch for the first time and with a whistle, it was released again and Harry caught it again. Again it was released and this time, Davies caught it. He has a smug look on his face when he caught the snitch.

Harry was determined to teach Davies a lesson and dragged the competition. He wantedly made the snitch go near Davies, but at the last moment, chased it away.

This game of cat and mouse went on for an hour. Davies was growing impatient by the time it was taking to catch the bloody snitch. The crowd grew in number as time passed.

They started to cheer the contestant they liked and most cheers were to Harry. Harry would dive occasionally and give them handshakes and waves while an exhausted Davies is barely maintaining his broom in the air. He didn't think being a Seeker was this difficult.

He thought it was going to be an easy one and would get more fans among the students. The number of times he just missed the snitch can't be counted. He missed the bludgers at arm's length nearly 20 times, while Potter didn't even come close to one.

As for the snitch, he wouldn't like to talk about the damn thing. It would be chased near him and when he dives to catch it, Potter would fly past him, chasing it out of reach. He saw the crowd build-up and frustration started to build up.

Potter's name is being shouted by the majority of them. He is done with it. He is going to teach the brat a lesson. He dove in the way of a bludger and it followed him. He moved to Harry's location and moved out of the way of the bludger making a sudden tangent. It is just 20 feet away from the flying Potter. He is sure the Potter boy can't escape it at that distance.

Davies saw in satisfaction as the bludger closed in on Potter and just as it was about to hit him, Potter made a move of his head just enough for the bludger to fly past his neck. Harry turned to him with a dark smile on his face which sent shivers down the 6th year's spine.

Harry started to move in his direction and fast. He was upon Davies in mere seconds, and with an outstretched hand, he zoomed past him and caught the flying snitch which was just behind his head. Davies felt his heart sink.

This is the 3rd time Harry caught the snitch. He failed the trial. The energy left his body and he slowly landed on the ground and stormed off to his room. There was a loud cheer as Harry caught the Snitch. He landed near Professor Flitwick and gave the golden snitch to the diminutive man.
