Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Harry looked to make sure that Ron was in place, and then began to speak to the people trying out,
"You will each be given three chances to shoot. Ginny will take the quaffle and pass it to you, and then
you will shoot. Hermione will keep score of how many of you make it so make sure she knows your
name before you go up. If you cannot follow directions, you will immediately be disqualified." He
stopped and looked around, "Any questions?"
No one moved, so Ginny and Harry got on their brooms and kicked off. Hermione had a broom, but
was not looking forward to using it. Hermione sent the first student up, a second year. He got into
position and Ginny threw him the ball. He caught it, but then dropped it. Harry caught the ball, and
tossed it back to Ginny. She threw it to the boy again, and he managed to catch it, however he was
about 30 feet off with his attempt to put it thought the hoop. Ron easily caught the quaffle.
The next 7 people were just as bad. After every couple of players, Harry would fly over to Hermione
and have her write a few things down for him. None of them managed to catch all three passes, and of
those who did catch one, no one scored. Next up was a fourth year that Harry recognized, but could not
fit a name to. He was scrawny with short brown hair, he seemed confident and when he kicked off he
let out a whop of exhilaration. When Harry asked Hermione the boy's name she said it was Johnny.
Johnny managed to catch all three passes beautifully. He only scored two goals, but all three had been
hard and accurate. Ron was getting much better when people were watching. Harry looked at Ginny
and Ron to see what they thought. They both looked at him and shrugged, as if to say, 'he's the best we
have so far'.
As the morning crept by Harry started to lose hope, most of the people who tried out were awful. It was
looking bleak when they had gotten down to the last four people. The next person, a 5th year by the
name of Frank, flew up and nodded at Ginny. She threw him the ball and he caught it with ease. He
then turned to Ron. He turned all of his body to the right, trying to make the basket. He threw with all
his might, right at Ron, who caught the quaffle and sighed heavily. Harry sighed also, this really was
hopeless, the two people on the ground had tried out for him previously and unless they had improved
ten fold, they weren't options.
While flying away from the hoops to set up the next pass for Ginny Frank looked back and threw the
quaffle in the middle hoop, which Ron had abandoned in his confidence that Frank would not get
passed him. He made it, Frank smirked. Harry caught the quaffle and threw it back to Ginny. She threw
it to Frank again, this time making him work to catch it, he did. Ron was also prepared for him this
time. However, Frank's faking skills were too far advanced, he made the goal again.
Harry caught the quaffle again and threw it to Ginny, this time the pass was appallingly hard, Harry
was unsure of whether he could have caught it or not. Frank snagged it and did not go with a fake this
time. Ron was almost able to block the shot. It rolled off the tips of his fingers and bounced off the
bottom of the hoop, right through.
As Frank returned to the ground, Ginny looked at Harry with a huge smile on her face. Ron's face
mirrored Ginny's, although Harry guessed it was for a different reason, Ron didn't usually take it well
when people got the quaffle passed him.
Harry was right; Ron had snuck a look at Hermione. She winked at him, and began to fan herself with
her clipboard. Ron smiled back mischievously and mouthed something that looked to Harry like 'later'.
The last two people were as awful as Harry remembered them being.
Two chasers down, two beaters to go.
The three returned to the ground, to discuss how to do the beater tryouts.
"Maybe we could conjure up a fake person riding a broom," Ron suggested.
