Harry's pov:
The next morning, Oliver was supposed to teach Sierra and I how Quidditch worked and how to play it.
"Quidditch is easy enough to understand. each team has seven players, three Chasers, that's Sierra, two Beaters, one Keeper, and a Seeker, that's you," He said to me as we carried a big trunk.
We put down the trunk and Oliver kneeled down and opened the trunk to reveal 3 balls. He pulled one out with a few dents in it.
"There are three kinds of balls. This one is called the Quaffle. Sierra this one is the one you should be worried about" He said as he tossed it to her.
"Ok, but uh, what do I do with it exactly?" She asked
"You have to handle the Quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops you also have to watch for the other teams chasers" he said, "The keeper, that's me, defends those hoops, with me so far?"
"Mhm" Sierra hummed looking at the Quaffle
"I think so, what are those?" I asked pointing to the smaller balls in the trunk
He grabbed the small bat he was holding and handed it to me.
"You better take this, Sierra move over here next to me" he said.
She quickly moved next to him.
He kneeled down and unlocked the ball and it launched into the air. It went really far up and came back down.
"Careful now, its coming back" he said
I got into stance and swung the bat and hit the ball and it went straight through an archway.
"Not bad Potter, you'd make a fair beater" he said and I smiled at his compliment
We all looked up and saw the ball coming back.
"Uh oh" Oliver said as he got into a stance and caught the ball and fell onto the ground as he wrestled it back into the trunk.
"What was that?" I asked
"Is it possessed?" Sierra asked and I laughed
"Erm no it is not possessed Sierra, that is called a bludger, nasty little buggers" he said a little out of breath, "But you are a Seeker" he said to me
He opened a little compartment that had all the 4 houses on it and it revealed a little gold ball.
"The only thing you want to be worried about is this" he said handing it to me
"I like this ball" I said smiling
"Eh you like it now, just wait its wicked fast and damn near impossible to see"
"What do I do with it?" I asked him confused
"You catch it, before the other teams Seeker. You catch this, the games over, you catch this Potter, and we win" he said
I held it out on my palm and it's wings spread out and it flew up.
~Small time skip~
Sierras pov:
I was walking with Hermione to Charms class
"Apparently there is gonna be a game soon and I'm not gonna lie, I am extremely terrified" I said to her
"Oh come one Sierra you'll be great, I know you will be amazing" she said
"Mione I just learned how to ride a broom, what if I fall, or what if I get hit in the head with a bludger or-"
"Sierra, calm down nothing is going to happen to you" she said
"I hope"
~Time skip to Charms class~
"One of a wizards most rudimentary skills is levitation or the ability to make objects fly" Professor Flitwick stated, "do you have your feathers?"
Hermione held hers up
"Good, now, don't forget the nice wrist movement that we have been practicing, the swish and flick, everyone"
Everyone followed along
"Swish and flick, Good, oh and enunciate, Wingardium Leviosa, off you go then" he said
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Ron said violently swishing his wand at the feather
"Stop, stop, stop, you're going to take someone's eye out, besides, you're saying it wrong, its Leviosa not Leviosar" Hermione said and I stiffled a laugh
"You do it then if you're so clever, go on, go on" Ron argued
"Wingardium Leviosa" Hermione said and the feather started floating in the air graciously
"Mione, you did it" I said smiling
"Oh well done! See here everyone, Miss Granger's done it!" Professor Flitwick said happily.
After more practice and Seamus blowing up his feather, we were finally done with charms.
"You did really good in there Hermione" I said smiling
"Thanks Sierra, I feel like a bit of a show off though, or maybe a bit stuck up" she said
"What? No Mione you aren't any of those things, you were only trying to help Ron, your an amazing Witch" I said as she smiled at me
"Its Leviosaaa not leviosarr" I heard Ron mimicking Hermione just up ahead of us, "She's a nightmare honestly, no wonder she hasn't got any friends"
I looked at Hermione to say something but she was gone, instead of next to me, I saw her walking up towards Ron and bumping into him
"I think she heard you" Harry said
"Wow thanks for that totally new information Harry" I said sarcastically, "By the way Ron, piss off" I said glaring at him and running after Hermione
