Chapter 9

The First Quidditch match arrived far sooner than Severus was ready for.

Cora hadn’t understood exactly why Harry was allowed on the team any more than anyone else.

From his own seat at the staff table, his nephew/adopted son looked so nervous.

Draco’s attempts to calm him didn’t seem to be working.

“He’ll be fine…” Remus murmured in his ear.

Severus glared at him, how could he say that? Seeker was the most dangerous position, everyone knew that…

Remus sighed, “I’ve watched him fly, he’s good. Despite needing glasses, he has excellent skills.”

Severus decided to ignore him, hang the punishment. He didn’t like this but he’d been run roughshod over…

XooooooX

Severus’ hands twisted into his robes as he watched the match nervously.

Remus sighed he’d done everything he could to try to reassure Severus yet his mate insisted on worrying.

His ears twitched when he heard Cora yell, “HARRY!”

Draco’s frightened gasp wasn’t far behind.

Remus’ eyes snapped higher to find Harry’s broom thrashing wildly, a bit like a mad horse.

He growled, tugging on Severus’ sleeve.

Severus followed his gaze and hissed.

“You’re both rather slow…” Narcissa muttered, gesturing at her elder sister.

Andromeda’s mouth was moving silently, her eyes narrowed as she focused on Harry.

It was hard to hear Harry over the crowd but it was surprising when Gryffindor’s Beaters the Weasley twins began circling beneath him.

One twin was beating off the Bludgers and calling for Slytherin’s Beaters to help him while the other twin seemed to be spotting Harry.

Every time that twin got close to Harry’s broom, it rose higher and began bucking more violently.

Marcus had finally noticed and was yelling for a time out.

Angelina the Chaser with a massive amount of braids stole two points while Miles Bletchley, Slytherin’s Keeper was distracted.

The clearly jinxed broom gave one more violent thrash leaving Harry hanging by what seemed to Remus, one finger before it stilled.

Harry warily wrapped a single hand on the broom, waited and then grasped it with his other hand.

Severus clutched at Remus, watching with baited breath as their adopted son pulled himself up gingerly onto his broom.

Harry slowly flew down to the ground, rolling off his broom to land on his hands and knees trembling like a leaf.

Draco and Cora were already running for the pitch, their worried friends at their heels.

Severus sagged, “He’s safe…”

Narcissa coughed delicately into her hand, “With Annie here, of course he would be. He’s family.”

Andromeda was already stalking her way onto the pitch.

Severus was in no shape having filled his pessimistic but clearly over-dramatic mind with all sorts of possible bad outcomes from having Harry on Slytherin’s Quidditch team so young. He reluctantly left his mate with Narcissa to watch over him while Remus hurried after Andromeda.

Not that Remus could entirely blame him, Voldemort’s body had never been found. Severus and Lucius were adamant that unless they saw a body, they would believe he was alive.

Remus was wary of danger coming from another front.

It wasn’t widely circulated but Albus Dumbledore had disappeared from that room above the Hogshead pub before he could be arrested on Ministry charges.

The man was practically penniless, following the suits from both Severus and Sirius in a rare moment of agreement as well as being publicly humiliated in the press by Rita Skeeter who made her name with the story and being the first fired seated Headmaster in eons.

Even as horrid as Ophiuchus was, he may have hated students but he did insist on Hogwarts hiring the best possible instructors and ensure that they had the best curriculum possible.

Filius had always been fair, for a small man he was quite fast and he arrived almost simultaneously with Andromeda, Draco and Cora.

Remus wasn’t far behind, arriving about the same time as the rest of Harry and Cora’s friend.

Harry was trembling, with Draco and Cora holding his hands to calm him.

Dudley and Greg were flexing their fists and glowering at the crowd in the stands.

Hermione biting her lip and wringing her hands ever so slightly.

Andromeda snapped, “He shows no little effect from the experience aside from his fear.” She held out a potions vial, “Here. If you take this, you can return to the air and show them just why you’re on the team.”

Harry swallowed the potion and then closed his eyes to take deep breaths to calm himself.

When he went to reach for his broom, Remus held up a hand, “No. You aren’t getting on it until Andromeda, Sirius and I have examined it to be sure that it is safe.”

Draco snapped his fingers and his elf Dobby appeared.

“How might Dobby be serving Master Draco sir?”

Draco smirked, “Let’s show them why you don’t attack a Slytherin, Dobby bring Harry my broom.”

Harry tried to protest.

Remus chuckled, “Thank you Draco, don’t worry Harry. It’s just until we determine if your broom is safe.”

Harry blushed, “Okay then.”

The Flying Instructor Hooch, whom Remus was privately upset with for leaving her class without supervision, approached.

“Is everything alright now Andromeda?” Hooch frowned.

“Yes. Harry should be able to return to the match.” Andromeda sniffed.

Hermione pipped up, “Should Gryffindor’s last points count? They were scored while Captain Flint was trying call a halt to the match.”

Hooch swallowed.

Remus glowered at Minerva who was the last to come down to check on Harry, “Surely the right and proper thing would be to strike those points.”

Minerva scowled, “Oh fine, the score will revert to what it was prior to Flint calling for a timeout.”

“Will Potter,”

“Be alright,”

“Now? We,”

“Tried to,”

“Get close,”

“But it went,”

“Even more,”

“Crazy when we,”

“Got close.”

Cora hugged the Weasley Beater twins, “Thank you, thank you for trying to help my twin! He’s not even in your house.”

“I’m George, I’d hope that someone would do the same for us if we found ourselves in a wee spot of trouble.” One of the Beaters coughed.

The players took off and the match resumed with Remus shooing the children back into the stands before asking Andromeda in a hushed tone, “Dark Magic?”

Andromeda nodded, “The Darkest. Harry will never be getting this broom back. Woe betides to anyone if I recognise their magical signature.”

Remus flinched as he headed back to the stands to rejoin Narcissa and Severus.

If Andromeda wasn’t going to let Harry have that broom well, then they’d have to see about properly replacing it.

They watched the match from the stands with a sense of unease after that ‘narrow’ escaped.

Severus bolted to his feet when Harry flew straight towards the ground once more in a dizzying speed.

Harry somersaulted off Draco’s broom and landed on his knees coughing.

Then a glint of gold settled on the grass before him and shakily Harry stood and held up the Snitch in triumph.

Slytherin had won, fairly too but they had won.

Slytherin as well as Harry’s friends regardless of House affiliation cheered loudly.

Flint flew down joined by the other Chasers Adrian Pucey and Brecc Montague to lift Harry in the air and lead a chant.

“Potter! Potter!”

Minerva’s face was pinched in annoyance.

Filius was clearly trying not to cheer and doing a bad job of it.

It was quite hilarious to see the Librarian Irma Prince actively cheering, she wasn’t known for her enthusiasm when it came to school functions.

Severus was still trembling from Harry’s ‘two’ narrow escapes; first his broom trying to kill him and now nearly choking on a Snitch.

Once they reached the floor of the Pitch and Severus grabbed a hold of Harry’s Quidditch robe he wouldn’t let go.

XooooooX

Only propriety had Severus allowing Harry to join Slytherin for a private celebration that wasn’t so private with much of his yearmates joining in the celebration.

However, when Harry fell asleep due to the excitement Remus was a bit puzzled when Severus scooped their adopted son up and instead of carrying him up to his dormitory carried the boy to their apartment instead.

Harry was dressed for bed with a switching charm as was Severus before his mate curled up with their oldest boy like he was much younger and had a nightmare.

Remus wasn’t in the mood to argue but he didn’t see this reaction as healthy for either of them even if Harry’s first Quidditch match was traumatic for all of them.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
