"Hermione, could you maybe do something so we could see how hard it hit?"<br />

"I think I can manage." She answered smiling, happy that she could do something besides take notes.<br />

"Okay, the rest of you are here for beater try outs, I'm assuming." <strong>Harry</strong> said looking around, "Each of<br />

you will get three chances to hit the target, which will record data <strong>and</strong> send it to us. As always, the two<br />

that perform the best get the positions. Good Luck"<br />

<strong>After</strong> the fake player had been conjured <strong>and</strong> Hermione had all of the sensors set up, they began again.<br />

There weren't nearly as many people trying out for beater, only seven. The first one up took the bat <strong>and</strong><br />

looked pretty scared as he took off. Ron reached down, then looked to see that everyone was ready, <strong>and</strong><br />

released the bludger. It took off toward the kid <strong>and</strong> he swung the bay, <strong>and</strong> missed. They heard a very<br />

loud curse as the boy regained his balance. <strong>Harry</strong> leaned over toward Hermione, <strong>and</strong> had her write that<br />

down. The second swing made contact with the bludger, but his form was awful, <strong>and</strong> the dummy barley<br />

registered any damage. His third try mimicked the second.<br />

The second boy to try out was much better. He made contact all three times, but like the first, his form<br />

was awful, but the dummy did register some damage.<br />

The third person flew up, her name was Danny <strong>and</strong> she was a sixth year who seemed to be built like a<br />

train, she was all muscle. She swung the bat, with very good form, <strong>and</strong> made contact, there was a loud<br />

crack <strong>and</strong> the dummy did a barrel role. The two successive shots were just a beautiful, <strong>and</strong> just as<br />

damaging.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong>, Ron <strong>and</strong> Ginny looked at Hermione for a report on the damage.<br />

"Internal bleeding all three times, <strong>and</strong> the first shot broke 6 ribs <strong>and</strong> fractured an arm," she said,<br />

looking worried. The other three smiled.<br />

The next two were good <strong>and</strong> would have made good beaters, if it weren't for there apparent inability to<br />

aim. The sixth person climbed on her broom, Lauren was a 4th year <strong>and</strong> she was built more like a<br />

dancer than a beater. <strong>Harry</strong> was skeptical that she would do well. She swung the bad <strong>and</strong> made contact,<br />

with great form, she hit the dummy, hard. The second shot was not nearly as severe as the first, but it<br />

still would have hurt. The third shot was great, nearly knocking the dummy from the broom. Her form<br />

was a bit unorthodox, but it got the job done. <strong>Harry</strong>, Ron <strong>and</strong> Ginny looked at Hermione for a damage<br />

report.<br />

"No internal bleeding this time, but there would be severe bruising <strong>and</strong> at least one or two fractures."<br />

She looked at them to see that they all were, again, smiling at the news of the pain the person would be<br />

in, "awful sport," she said through a sigh. She received a sharp glare from Ginny <strong>and</strong> smiled in return.<br />

The seventh person was also good, but they only hit two of the three bludgers. The damage was nothing<br />

more than mild dizziness. However, there was potential if the person practiced. But it didn't matter,<br />

<strong>Harry</strong> had already made up his mind on Danny <strong>and</strong> Lauren, <strong>and</strong> best of all, they were sisters.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong> pulled Frank, Johnny, Danny <strong>and</strong> Lauren aside <strong>and</strong> told them the good news, saying that the first<br />

practice would be that afternoon after lunch. All four thanked <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> told him that they couldn't<br />

wait to start.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong> couldn't help but smile when Ginny walked up to him, "Well Gin, I think we actually have a<br />

chance this year."<br />

"I'd say so," said Ginny as she took <strong>Harry</strong>'s h<strong>and</strong>.<br />

"A chance, I think we have more than a chance," said Ron as he walked up with Hermione attached to<br />

his waist, "I think we'll kick Slytherin's ass this year."
