Enjoy, and thanks for reading!

Severus sat down next to Lily. His eyes darted around uncomfortably. It had been a while since he had been placed into the middle of a crowd; he hated them. He had been a loner since practically the day he was born. People didn't really scare him or anything, he just didn't fit well with them. But he had no choice, or rather, he didn't want to miss watching Harry's tryout.
"Where's he?" Lily asked, her head moving back and forth in an effort to see through hundreds of moving bodies.
Severus shrugged a reply. He didn't see Harry either.
"And where's Remus? He said he'd be here!"
"I have no idea." He set a hand on Lily's leg to ease her anxiousness. "Settle down. Harry will most definitely make a team." He refrained from groaning when he saw his sister-in-law and her son making their way toward them.
"Tuney!" Lily called, waving them over and patting the seat next to her.
"Lily, this is so exciting!" Petunia squealed as she took a seat, eyeing a wizard in disgust after he had spat at the ground, riddling his mouth of a mouthful of vile chewing tobacco. She shuddered.
"I can't see Harry!" Dudley whined. He stood up for a better look.
"Sit down, Dudders," Petunia scolded gently. "We'll see him shortly."
There were several kids trying out; around one hundred or so. They all stood out in the field, each holding their brooms. They squirmed with nervousness and excitement.
Severus spotted Harry then, standing next to Draco, both boys appeared to be chattering nonstop, and pointing out things. Harry insisted on wearing his Chudley Cannons mock uniform.
Lily went crazy when Severus pointed him out to her. "Oh, my Lord! Look how adorable he is standing there!"
Severus rolled his eyes. Harry would cringe if he knew she was saying this in public.
"Good morning, Severus," Lucius drawled behind him as he and Narcissa joined the group.
"Hello," Severus nodded, and the group exchanged greetings. "Did Draco decide the position he wanted?" Severus asked Lucius when they were through.
"He did; Seeker."
"So our boys will be rivalries..." Lily mused with a frown.
"Unfortunately, so." Narcissa concluded.
"A friendly competition is not a terrible thing," Severus assured Lily.
"I do not doubt that the teams they join will be at the very top of the league," Lucius smirked.
The announcer began speaking then and explained how the tryouts were going to work. There were going to be two divisions; each child would tryout for two of their chosen positions, the first half would be their top choice.
Lily didn't like this one bit. "What if he doesn't make Seeker?" She was now biting her nails.
"Stop worrying, he'll get it." Severus pulled her hand from her mouth and squeezed it gently. Lily barely noticed the gesture, her eyes were completely focused on Harry.
The kids had been instructed to disperse, so Harry and Draco (along with the rest of the those trying out for a Seeker spot) walked in a single line to a designated location on the pitch. Each child went through their turn and were paired up with another to compete with. Chasers were paired with Keepers, Beaters with Beaters, and Seekers with Seekers.
Seekers were the last to go, and Draco was the first of the two boys to get to tryout. He was going up against a girl and was looking smug by his luck. He didn't think a girl could out best him.
Draco was fast on a broom. He had been riding one since he first learned to walk though, so it was only natural that he had such skill. The girl spotted the Snitch first, but she had no chance against him. She had went after it too soon, and, since Draco had the most expensive broom on the market, plus the skill to control it well, he snatched the Snitch with the girl a broom stick behind him. He held his catch up proudly, smiling wide.
The audience clapped and cheered in congratulations. Severus, Lily, Narcissa, and Lucius the loudest; obviously.
"Draco's really good!" Dudley exclaimed. "I hope I can fly as good as him one day."
"It helps to be limber," Lucius commented, earning himself a glare from his wife. He simply shifted his eyes from her, hiding a smirk.
"Mr. Malfoy is right," Petunia told her son. "If you want to be as good as him, you'll have to very work hard."
Dudley nodded, eagerly, watching the next pair of Seekers begin their match.
Harry's turn came up a while later. There were a lot of kids who wanted to be a Seeker. He got paired with a younger boy who could barely pass off as being six.
"Oh, that little boy's much too young to play!" Lily shrieked when she seen him fly up into position. He was pretty little, Severus would agree with that.
Harry and the boy shook hands and the Snitch was released. They leisurely flew around the Pitch, looking for the slightest movement of the object, but several minutes had passed and neither of the two had seen it yet.
"I see it," Severus whispered to Lily.
"Where?!" Lily's eyes darted around in alert.
"It's under Harry, in the grass."
"I don't see it," Lily said disappointingly.
"There it is!" Dudley exclaimed, pointing at it.
"Oh, I hope Harry notices-" the Snitch took flight then, as if sensing that it had been seen.
"Uh, oh!" Dudley groaned, as the younger boy caught sight of it, and raced towards it.
Harry dove for the Snitch when he seen the boy shoot up higher at an incredibly fast speed. He wasn't quick enough though. In the next moment, the game was over; Harry had lost.
It was time for lunch, and families and friends separated off to eat. Harry was downcast when their group joined him. Draco was bragging away about his performance. "I think I had the fastest time out of everyone!"
"I doubt I'll even make a team..." Harry mumbled sadly.
"Sure you will, Harry," Severus said encouragingly.
"Just because you didn't win that time, doesn't make you a bad player." Lily looked about to comfort her son with a hug. Severus snatched Lily's arm and pulled her against him.
"What?" She demanded, eyes frozen on her little boy.
He pressed his lips to her ear, and took a moment to relish over her wonderful scent. "We're in public," he whispered. "You can't hug him here."
She tilted her head, giggling, "That tickles!"
"Did you two need a few moments of... privacy?" Lucius asked with a smirk.
"No!" Lily hissed, pushing Severus away. Her face blushed up, making the adults laugh. "Oh, God!" She shrieked, hiding her face in her hands. That only made them laugh harder.
"What is so funny?" Draco asked. "That they let a girl go up against me?" He laughed cruelly.
"Girls can play just as well as boys, Mister," Lily scolded, narrowing her eyes.
Draco scoffed in doubt. "They shouldn't even be allowed to play. Quidditch is much too dangerous."
Narcissa cleared her throat in warning. "Come, Draco, let's have our lunch now. You've said enough."
"Yes, Mother," Draco acknowledged and followed his mother to the stands with the food.
Severus chuckled. "Lucius, you have never told him about Narcissa?"
Lucius turned his head, watching his wife and son disappear into the crowd. "It was her choice."
"Why wouldn't she want to tell him?" Lily asked, crossing her arms with a huff.
"Bellatrix wasn't too kind to her about it, and she was often embarrassed with her skill."
"That is why she quit in sixth year?" Severus inquired.
Lucius nodded. "But Bellatrix also told their mother and father. Narci got a letter the next day, forbidding her of it. She had been able to keep it a secret for a year before they had found out."
"What, Pureblood boys can play, but not Pureblood girls?" Lily sneered.
The muscle in Lucius' jaw twitched. "I have never forbidden my wife from anything. She makes her own choices." He slightly bowed in departure and made a quick exit.
Lily snorted in disgust. "Yet, he doesn't correct his son much on that subject, does he?"
"It's all about status with the Malfoy's, Lil', you know that." Severus put an arm around her, and called out to Harry who was talking to a red haired girl.
"That was Ron Weasley's sister," Harry informed after he had come running back to them. "She says I was a great player even if I lost!" the boy was smiling. "She's nice. Her Mum and Dad won't let her play though. They say she's too young. But they let Ron play and she's almost the same age as him-" at this, he sent a glare to a boy that looked his own age. Ron spat his tongue out at Harry who returned the gesture.
"I take it that you don't like him?" Lily asked, glancing back at the Weasley family.
"He's not very nice really. And complains a lot. He also told Ginny that she couldn't play because she was just a girl. I can tell Ginny was trying not to cry." Harry looked over at the girl in pity. "Did you see that Cho girl?" He asked, suddenly changing the subject. "She's a really good Chaser!"
"Cho Young?" Severus tried remembering the girl. "Yes, she wasn't half bad."
"Girls can do anything," Lily said firmly. "Better than boys, more often then not."
"Yes, Lily." Severus kissed her cheek. "Girls are much better than boys."
"Now you're just brown nosing," she accused playfully.
Severus grinned. "Is it working?"
"You know it!"

Harry did better as the Keeper in the second half of the tryouts. He chose that after deciding that it was the next safest potion in the game. This time, he and Draco were paired against each other, because Draco's second choice was Chaser.
They eyed each other in concentration. Harry waited for Draco to make his move, and Draco analyzed the best angle. In this exercise, five Quaffles hovered within Draco's reach. He was allowed to go as fast or as slow as he wanted, so long as the Quaffles were not thrown at the exact same time. Draco finally grinned, allowing Harry to believe he had chosen his strategy. Harry took a deep breath knowing how skilled Draco was when it came to Quidditch. The two had been playing for the past couple of years together as a pass time. Harry also could tell Draco's facial expression by now though, his 'poker' face was no longer a secret to Harry.
Draco threw the first Quaffle up high, and once Harry drove after it, Draco threw his second. Harry blocked the first, but Draco made a point with the second toss, making the spectators clap loudly.
"Nice try, Harry!" Draco boasted.
"I won't let you win!"
"You have no chance!" Draco giggled.
If only Harry and him had been paired up during the Seeker tryouts, Harry would have won then.
I MUST beat him! Harry thought. Or I won't get on any team!
Draco tried faking him out, but Harry noticed that the angle in the first throw was off, so he didn't go after it. No point was given. Draco shook his fist in frustration. "Drat!"
The next throw was spot on, aiming for the goal in the middle. Harry leaned into his broom with determination and kicked the Quaffle away when he got within reach. It sailed toward Draco who had to duck his head to keep it from getting smacked.
"Watch it there!" Draco snarled. "Nearly took my head off!"
"I didn't do that on purpose!" Harry said in defense.
"Trying to injure me, you are! Cheat!" Draco then threw the last Quaffle at the goal furthest away from Harry, and the crowd cheered after Draco scored. "Too bad you're not as talented as me!"
"But, I still won, Draco!" Harry shot back cheerfully and flew off to meet his parents.

Once the second half of the tryouts were over, the team directors were announced then. One by one, seven names were announced. Two directors were even witches, much to Lily's delight. She cheered in excitement when each of them came flying up on their brooms after their names had been called.
The big surprise was Remus though. He hadn't showed up to sit with them because he was 'judging' the kids who were trying out. He was a director himself. His friends were shocked over this.
"How long have you been keeping this a secret?!" Lily asked, hugging him tightly.
Remus laughed. "Months! It was so hard not to say anything! I did it for Padfoot though, I know he would have loved to do something like this."
"Uncle Remus, are you really going to be a director?!" Harry was wide eyed.
"Sure am!" Remus fuzzed up Harry's hair affectionately.
"Have you already gotten your team picked out?" Severus asked.
"According to the rules, we're allowed to choose three players for each position. After that, it's up to the children to decide which team they want to play on. It'll take a month for the teams to be officially formed. But I do have a couple in mind, yes. I'd love Harry on my team as Seeker, of course."
"Really?!" The boy gasped. "But I lost..." Harry looked to the ground, scuffing his shoe up in the dirt.
"So, you had a bad game," Remus shrugged, and patted Harry's shoulder. "I know you can play very well, and you have the best coach in all of Britain."
Severus scoffed. "Whatever, Remus!"
"Oh, Sev, we all know that you tried out for the Slytherin's Quidditch team in second year," Lily said with a laugh.
Severus' face turned red, his eyes shifted away. He then cleared his throat. "I think I hear Lucius calling me." He slipped away into the crowd, making a speedy escape, not much unlike his friend had done earlier that day.
