16 Quidditch Tryouts Over

Tryouts were over and Brian gathered everyone who tried out.

"So, here are the people that made it. The Seeker is Chris Evergreen. The 3 Chasers are myself, Roger Davies, and Aletha Mulberry. The 2 Beaters are Duncan Inglebee and Jason Samuels. Finally, the Keeper is Grant Page," Brian said. "Thank you everybody for trying out. Everyone who made it please stay while the rest is dismissed,"

Some were disgruntled while others were accepting. Regardless of their feeling, everyone except for the 6 people left.

After everybody left, Brian started his speech.

"So congratulations everybody for getting in the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team. I'm extremely confident that we're going to win. Not only because of the superb players, but also because of a little surprise Professor Flitwick has for us. Professor," Brian said.

"Thank you Brian. Well, like Brian has previously said, congratulations. Your skills will definitely lead our House to victory. Now as you know, the Evergreen family has donated us 40 Comet 360s to the school for Flying Lessons," Professor Flitwick said.

Everybody nodded. They kind of knew where this was going, but they were still unsure.

"I know what all of you kids are thinking. Mr. Evergreen has donated us more Comet 360s. However, you are incorrect. Indeed, he has donated us some brooms, but it's not the Comet 360s, but the Nimbus 2000s!" Professor Flitwick exclaimed.

Everyone was silent.

"Professor, I apologize, but I think my hearing has gone a little bad today because of a Potions experiment. Did I hear Nimbus 2000 correctly?"

"Yes, you have heard me correctly, Nimbus 2000s. Fresh out of the parcel. 7 brooms so that you can all play with your full potential," Professor Flitwick said.

Everyone except Chris took a bit of time digesting this new information. Even Brian was completely still. After around 30 seconds of pondering, they all started cheering loudly.

"We're going to win!" Roger Davies, one of the Chaser shouted.

"Not only do we have the best team, we have the best brooms!" Aletha exclaimed.

"We have to win! If we don't we'll be disappointing the Evergreen family," Brian said with a smile.

"Yes you'll be disappointing me Captain. If we don't win, I won't get allowance for the next 7 years!" Chris said jokingly.

"Alright for Chris and the Evergreen Family, we have to win!" Duncan Inglebee said.

Everybody cheered a little more before Brian started announcing other news such as practice time and game days. After 5 minutes of announcement, Brian dismissed everybody.

Chris said his goodbyes and went to Hermione and Kristine.

"Hey Chris, you did great there!" Hermione said.

"Yeah, compared to you, those other kids who tried out were complete amateurs!" Kristine said as she extended her hand to high five Chris.

Chris high fived her back.

"It's nothing much. After practicing yesterday, catching the Snitch with no interruption is not that hard," Chris said.

"Alright," Hermione said. "Then you have to win the Quidditch Cup or else you'll get a punishment,"

"Oh what's the punishment?" Chris asked.

"Oh, I don't know," Hermione said as she looked at Kristine.

"Maybe 5 minutes of Rictumsempra," Kristine said with a mischievous smile.

"I have to win now," Chris said seriously. "I'm going to die if I laugh for 5 minutes straight!"

"Well then, give Ravenclaw the honor of the Quidditch Cup," Hermione said while chuckling.

Chris laughed and the three went to the library to study some more.

...

Time passed quickly and it was now almost 2 months since Chris has started attending Hogwarts and a lot has happened for Chris. Firstly, during the past 2 months, he practiced and leveled up to level 25 allowing him to now use the Practice Room for 3 hours a day. Leveling up also helped unlock new spells and potion recipes from his Wizarding Book and Potion Book although he hasn't bought any yet aside from the Finding Charm from when he wanted to find Trevor.

He also acquired 5 new spells and 2 new potion recipes, most of them from classes and one spell from a Quest. Of course, the spells learned form class were simple such as the Knockback Jinx.

However, the one he received from the Quest intrigued Chris quite a bit. It was called the Sensory Deprivation Hex. At first, Chris thought he could permanently cripple his enemies, but that wasn't the case. For a second, the target would not be able to use any senses, including what some would call the 6th sense. However, the catch was that this spell can only be used on the same target every 5 minutes. While a second does not seem to be a lot, Chris knew just how overpowered it was. The 5 minute rule can just be ignored altogether as it doesn't really make a difference. If Voldemort got ahold of this hex, he could cast it and then immediately use Avada Kedavra to instantly kill his foes. It was the ultimate combo spell.

When Chris realized just how much this spell can do, he was extremely pleased with it as the Quest was simply creating a Potion in Snape's class.

As for his new Quidditch schedule, practice was a lot more time and energy consuming than Chris originally thought. Before he was able to have a lot of hang-out time after class, but now, he barely has enough time to study. Of course by the time, he was done practicing in the Practice Room, he was completely worn out.

Luckily, today was not a day where there was practice as it was Halloween.

Author's Note: Guys, I DID IT! Now let me fully explain to you guys why my update stability was so garbage from the start. If you are a reader of my first novel, you know that I just graduated recently. So after vacation started, I had some stuff to do such as driving lessons and etc. However, one of the main reasons why I haven't uploaded as much is League Of Legends. You guys probably know this game so I won't explain it, but the thing was that I've been playing this game for almost 8 years now and I was hardstuck Bronze 5 for the past 6 years breaking the Bronze status last season with Silver 4. I swore to myself that I will hit Gold this season and I've been grinding. Silver is fucking garbage and it was hard carrying myself out as I won then lost won then lost and the cycle went on until today, I have finally hit Gold. I know that for some of you, Gold is trash, but it was my goal since Season 3 and I have finally hit it. I think with that I'll update more since I won't spend hours on League anymore.
