13 Destiny is destiny after all

The transfiguration class ended after two hours and professor McGonagall gave two-foot-long essay on ways to transfigure a match to a needle.

Anthony, Harry, and Daphne went to the Room of Requirements and started brewing the invisibility potion.

Since the Room of Requirements is magically isolated from Hogwarts, they don't need to worry about losing fire and burning down the whole Hogwarts.

Daphne comes to the first time in the Room of Requirements understood that it is a secretive place that perhaps not many students would know. For her, It is interesting how knowledgeable Anthony really is.

They have the first flight class in the afternoon with Gryffindor students so after putting the first ingredients of the invisibility potion they arrived at the open yard where the quidditch practice happens.

Madam Hooch, arrived at the yard at 14:00 clock, riding her Comet 270 broom a state of art broom when she used to play at Hogwarts Quidditch team back in her old days.

The students of Slytherin and Gryffindor became excited to experience the flight for the first time. It doesn't matter whether they are from the Muggle family or not, the children haven't ride a broom yet due to their safety.

Only Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy bragged about their experience in broom riding during the summer before Hogwarts.

"My father has bought me a Nimbus 2000. But due to the school rules, I have left the broom in my manor's room. I bet the stinky Weasley is bragging about his dream to ride his Mother's swiping broom instead of a flying broom" said Malfoy with a sarcastic tone.

Hearing Malfoy's comment about Ron Weasley, the Gryffindor students become hostile towards Slytherin, whereas the Slytherin students start laughing hysterically.

Madam Hooch blew her whistle and said "No more chit-chatting! get on the left side of your broom and say Up!" said her and immediately her comet 270 broom glided upwards towards her right hand.

The students started to say Up to their brooms, but to no avail, only Harry, Draco, and Anthony's broom went upwards at their first try.

Daphne Greengrass's broom glided upwards on her second try, whereas Ron Weasley was hit by his broom on his nose.

Draco sneered at Ron Weasley when Ron hit his nose.

Madam Hooch instructed that after counting down to one and blowing her whistle, the students can rise towards the air slowly.

When the students got their position, Madam Hooch started counting down. But when she was on the number two, Neville Longbottom raised on his broom with the unconfident manner

"Mr.Longbottom, Mr.Longbottom," said Madam Hooch. But unfortunately, Neville accelerated towards the Hogwarts broom storage room rooftop and fell down in accordance with the series.

Madam Hooch instructed that meanwhile, she is away delivering Neville to the Hospital Wing, no one is allowed to fly.

When Anthony picked up Neville's remember ball, intending to give it back to Neville, Ron Weasley said "Give it back!"

Anthony becomes annoyed and said "I will give it to Neville myself, you don't have to be suspicious to me"

Ron said with a disgusted voice "Who can trust a slimy snake-like you! I think every Gryffindor will accept my statement here!" said Ron.

When Ron said the word, the already hostile atmosphere become more hostile and several students of Gryffindor and Slytherin took out their wands and stood in the opposite direction.

"You have to stop! You can be expelled from the school when having a group fight!" said Hermione with a bossy tone.

"So let's have a fair competition then, If you can catch Harry with the remember ball on the broom, then you can have the ball. But if in 10 minutes, you fail to catch him, We will take the remember ball to Neville. The bet will be 10 galleons and honor of the house" told Anthony.

The Gryffindor students chatted with each other and believed in Ron Weasley's bragging decided to raise 10 galleons and put the bet on the floor.

Harry who is nervous about flying on the broom and playing catch me if you can against experienced flyer Ron Weasley asked Anthony

"Anthony, are you sure that I can get away from Ron, what happens if I lose? Wouldn't our Slytherin become a laughingstock?" said Harry with a worried voice.

But Anthony replied with a calm tone and gave the remember ball to Harry "Don't worry, we believe in you!" said Anthony and the rest of the Slytherins pumped their Slytherin logo on their Hogwarts rope that is located o their chest. It means that every Slytherin students believe in The boy who lived and they don't care about the bet money.

"Be careful Harry" said Daphne with a worried tone.

Soon Harry rode on his broom and hovered in the air. Ron Weasley followed him on the air and had a mocking face.

"On my remarks! Three, two, one... Go!" said Anthony.

Soon after that Ron accelerated towards Harry whereas Harry Potter flew away from him.

Harry flew towards the Forbidden forest rapidly and he could hear Ron Weasley saying insults to him

"You can't hide from me, Harry! Better to give up you slimy snake!"

Harry who heard the insult become agitated and had an idea. He rode the broom with the maximum speed and soon he nearly arrived at the edge of Forbidden forest.

The Gryffindor and Slytherin students in the Quidditch practice ground could not see the situation, but only the glittering 20 galleons lying on the grass.

Daphne was worried about Harry, whether he could fly safely because talking with Harry, she found out that Harry

was raised by his horrible muggle relatives and never touched a flying broom.

Anthony believed in Harry's natural flying abilities and Ron's bad luck and was confident that he could win Ron.

Professor Snape, who had Dragon hive gloves at the edge of the Forbidden forest who were collecting red mushrooms, saw Harry Potter accelerating towards the forbidden forest. There was a boy who was following him behind and when Harry was about to reach the Forbidden forest, he took a sudden 90-degree turn to the right.

On the other hand, Ron Weasley, who couldn't stop his broom in time, hit a wide tree and fell down. Harry Potter rushed to Ron Weasley and took him back to the Quidditch Practice Ground.

Soon, there was Harry Potter and the unconscious Ronald Weasley who was hanged on the broom by his robe could be seen from the Quidditch Practice Ground.

The students soon understood that Harry Potter beat Ronald Weasley in the Flying bet in an imposing manner and the Slytherin students begin to collect their stake with their winings.

20 Galleons have been collected and the flying competition is over after Harry's explanation that Ron Weasley hit a tree.

Soon Ronald Weasley becomes a laughingstock in Slytherin's house and a disappointing loser as well as a liar in the Gryffindor house. If Ron was awake at the moment, perhaps his face would become as red as an apple due to his embarrassment.

Ron's bad days are continuing, but soon however Professor Snape came to the Quidditch Practice Room and said "Mr.Potter, follow me!"

When Professor Snape called Harry's name, he becomes nervous. And the students in both houses start to whisper to each other.

Anthony who has seen the original series has understood that Harry's going to become the seeker of Quidditch game and though inwardly

'It seems that destiny is destiny. There are some things you can't change if it is fate!'

Daphne Greengrass had a worried expression and looked towards Anthony "Anthony, do you think Harry would be expelled?"

Anthony looked surprised to Daphne and said "Expelled? No one can expel Harry from Hogwarts! He is going to become a Slytherin house Quidditch player soon!" and laughed out loud.

The Slytherin students when hearing Anthony's statement become curious. Why wouldn't Harry be expelled and instead why is he going to become a Quidditch team player? The Slytherin students talked with each other about Harry for a long time.
