----Hogsmeade-----
----Past midnight----
Rita seeker and many other reporters arrived in Hogsmeade. It is the only all Wizard village in Britain. Unknowingly Harry created more chaos than he anticipated.
Reporters are asking anyone who saw the corpses of werewolves in Hogsmeade. Auror are silent in this matter. Especially after they made the mark of uchiha much bigger than anyone had ever seen in their life.
"Mr. Auror could you tell us, what had happened here? That is a new kind of mark, different from the mark of death eaters. How did it became so big?" Rita asked an auror who is about to leave after searching for any new clue. He almost snapped on her for interfering during his investigation.
" You should ask DMLE's chief of department. I just came in search for any new evidence. Before you ask anything, let me tell you I found no new evidence. Excuse me now, I have to report back in DMLE," Auror said and left the scene. He is not in a good mood.
"He is quite rude. We should directly ask the Amelia Bones. It is such a big event," Rita said to her photographer who just nodded his head.
After seeing Rita skeeter going to DMLE office. Others reporters followed her because everyone knew that Rita skeeter is going to collect the news anyway. Some reporters are from another countries newspaper.
-------Hogwarts---------
--------morning--------
Harry is walking towards dinning hall early in the morning. He is reading a transfiguration book which he bought from the library. He met with Oliver wood while walking towards the dining hall.
"You are quite early now a days, Harry," Oliver said to Harry. He is surprised whenever he see Harry walking alone with a book.
" Captain Oliver, good morning. So when is our match? I basically took down a basilisk for our quidditch matches. Closed a chamber of secrets so none of its babies can come after us," Harry said jokingly to Oliver. He looked at Oliver and then again focused his attention on reading the book.
" That Basilisk has babies in chamber of secrets!!!" Oliver asked harry. He doesn't want to show it but, he doesn't like Basilisk.
" I was just joking. I went down and checked the chamber myself few days before. Nothing is there except the skin of Basilisk which I robbed as my claims. And I have to close it again. I don't know why Salazar built that chamber. I should go and check it again for any more secret passages. Do you want to see the chamber of secrets? But it is in the girl's bathroom," Harry said to Oliver. The older boy wanted to refuse to be seen near a girl's toilet.
" I should decline your offer. Even if you can open and close the chamber it doesn't mean we should go there. And for the quidditch matches we have to play with Hufflepuff next Monday. Please come after class for our team practice," Oliver said to Harry. He wants to win this years Inter school Quidditch cup.
"What about Slytherin and Ravenclaw match? All the Slytherin have Nimbus 2001. They can create a big gap in points even if Ravenclaw has good players," Harry asked Oliver. The older boy got a little worried after he heard the words of his young teammate.
" Don't worry we have to create a big lead in the Hufflepuff match. Slytherin lost their match against us. If they want to win against us in a points game then, they need a huge lead in both of their matches. And we have to lose at least one match," Oliver said to Harry. He definitely surprised by Harry's words earlier.
"For winning the cup we have to beat the shit out of both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw team," Harry said to Oliver. The older boy just laughed at his words. Both of them reached at the dinning hall for breakfast.
"Last time Slytherin team took the training ground for early practice by Snape's permission. Let's see if we can adjust with other teams this time around," Oliver said to Harry. The young boy looked at him and after few seconds a thought clicked in his mind.
" Captain Oliver, I know a time when we can practise and nobody will know. Even we can get extra practise later that day with professors permission," Harry said to Oliver. The older boy thought for few moments but he couldn't think of a free time which is free for them except after class.
" I don't know what you are taking about Harry," Oliver said to Harry. The young boy has a smile on his face.
" Let me tell you a secret which everyone ignores but it is quite common in muggle world. And they train their players at that time. It is called morning practice. The earlier you wake up the more time you have. We have a lot of free time early in the morning. We can also get extra practice time after class," Harry said to Oliver whose face turned into horrified state. Then he calmed himself down.
"First, I have to talk with Prof. McGonagall. But still we have take care of darkness if we want to play early in the morning," Oliver said to Harry. The young boy thought for a moment.
" We can use lumos Maxima. Or we can use the same method like national quidditch team who practice for night matches. I always wondered why we only practice during afternoon. Now I know no one paid attention towards the morning practise in Hogwarts. Morning is the best time to study and practice," Harry said to Oliver. The captain of Gryffindor team started to eat while thinking.
"You convinced me Harry. I would use the same points that you told me to convince Prof. McGonagall. I almost forgot about morning practice," Oliver said to Harry. He almost wanted to laugh at the new discovery but he doesn't want to alert his opponents.
"What about our teammates? Will they agree for morning practise?" Harry asked Oliver. Oliver's happy expression changed with a stern expression.
" They have to agree," Oliver said to Harry.
" What are you both talking about?" Fred asked them. George came after him.
" We were talking about our quidditch practice. I got a new revelation that we have a lot of time and we have wasted it unknowingly," Oliver said to twins. Both knew the training drills of their captain.
" Fred it looks like we missed a lot of things," Fred said to George.
" Have you found a secret place where we can practice Harry," George asked harry. He immediately knew it was Harry who gave the idea to Oliver.
"No I didn't find a new place but still I am the reason behind his burning enthusiasm," Harry said to Fred and George. He doesn't want to explain everything again.
"Have you seen the red clouds outside with a bizarre silver mask above our school?" Fred asked Harry and Oliver. The twins have seen it early in the morning when both of them tried to sneak outside.
"I haven't gone outside but now that you told me I just realized we have red clouds everywhere around the castle," Oliver said to twins.
" I will check it later beside I am reading a book now. You have to go and ask Prof. McGonagall about our practice time," Harry said and left the dinning hall while reading the book.
" When did he finished his breakfast?" Oliver said to twins. Both of them looked at each other.
" Dude, he was eating when we saw him. You were day dreaming at that time," George said to Oliver.
Ron and Hermoine came at that time in the dinning hall.
" Don't you think it is weird that we have a lot of red clouds around castle," Hermoine said to Ron. She found it odd when she woke up early in the morning. After she got discharged with Ginny. She asked Ginny about it. She has no idea about it. Then she met Ron while coming for breakfast.
" Welcome back Hermoine," Fred and George said together.
" So you also saw silver mask above our school," Oliver asked her.
" I only saw red clouds. Where is silver mask? And where is Harry? I thought he is here in dining hall," Hermoine asked them. Fred and George looked at each other.
" It looks like we are the only one who saw it, my twin brother," Fred said to George. Both give a nod to each other.
" You see we went outside for a moment but then we saw red clouds and a silver mask above Hogwarts which has three comma and each comma has one eye inside it. Which moves in a circle. And a lot of ripple like drawing on it. So we came back inside. I have never seen a mask like that. And it looks more terrifying early in the morning," George said to them. He still remembers the feeling.
" Harry already left after he finished his breakfast. He looks quite busy with his book. He told us he will check the red clouds later when he will finish his book," Fred said to them. He doesn't find it surprising now a days after seeing it as the first thing in the morning.
" You see Hermoine I already told you. He reads while walking," Ron said to Hermoine. He still finds it odd.
"It is not bizarre, Ron. I see it everyday," Fred said to Ron. Even he wants to do it sometime.
" Well, Harry asked me about a visit to chamber of secrets. But he also told me the entrance is in Girl's bathroom. So I have to decline his offer," Oliver said to them. He is eating his breakfast. He has to meet Prof. McGonagall about his new plans for his team.
" Who builts a secret entrance in girl's bathroom? Whoever created it definitely is a pervert," Hermoine said to them. She doesn't feel good about a secret entrance in girl's bathroom.
" It is built by salaazar Slytherin. As far as I know," Oliver said to them. Hermoine realized that she knew that fact. But forgot about it due to her petrified state.
" I need to read some books to sharpen my memory," Hermoine said to them. She decided to go and take the new books from library.
" Don't you feel Harry is different now?" Ron asked Oliver, Fred and George. All three looked at Ron.
"No" Oliver, Fred and George said together.
"Ron is jealous that Harry is spending more time with us. Don't you think Fred," George said to Fred. He is looking seriously towards Ron.
"Harry is not shy anymore. He is still the same. Nobody else remained the same after visiting a dark prison, Ron. You should wake up a little early if you want to catch up with him. Harry is not our mother to wake you up early everyday. Even if he wake you up. I don't think you are fond of getting up early in the morning before everyone," Fred said to Ron. He doesn't want Ron to think that Harry is an imposter. Ron has a tendency to misunderstand the facts.
"Fred and George, you should have to wake up quite early from tomorrow if things go according to my and Harry's plan," Oliver said to Fred and george. He is still thinking how to convince the three chasers. All three are girls.
" Are you planning early practice for quidditch?" Fred and George said together. Both looked directly in the eyes of Oliver.
" Yes, if our head of house give the permission. You don't have a problem with extra practise in the morning. And don't say loudly, no one should know from the other house," Oliver said to them. He wants to keep it a secret.
"So we can practice it early in the morning and after our classes. Is that correct?" George asked Oliver. He has nothing against more practice for the upcoming matches.
" Yeah correct," Oliver said to them. He is waiting for their reply.
" We approve," Fred and George said together.
" I always wondered why we never practise early in the morning. It is like a free time for all of us," Fred said to Oliver. He never asked to his captain because he was quite young at that time in the team.
"You should have told me earlier. I was quite embarrassed when Harry told me the same thing,"Oliver said to Fred. He doesn't want to admit it but he was embarrassed by the idea for not getting it quickly.
Hermoine and Ron didn't want to comment on the subject of quidditch because they are not in the team. They just listened to their talk while eating their breakfast.
" Fred and George could you talk about our new plans with ladies of our team. I hope they would love to join our morning practice. Now that I think about it. We should also call our bench players for more practice," Oliver said to Fred and George. Twins can see the passion in the eyes of their captain.
" Sure captain," Fred and George said together.
When they finished their breakfast they we're about to leave but owls came rushing inside the dinning hall. The owls are carrying a large package for many people. They came in front of Oliver and start hooting. Oliver gave them some food. And they left the table.
He got a package for his current team.
" This is for our current team. Who might have send this package?" Oliver said to Fred and George. He never received a package like the present one.
Fred read the letter and it is only about best wishes for upcoming quidditch matches from a faithful friend of Harry. George opened the package. It has seven nimbus 2001 with their names written on it.
" I have my own nimbus 2001. It is a dream come true," Oliver said while hugging the nimbus which has the name Oliver written over it . He was about to cry.
" George, we have Nimbus 2001. Percy, Bill and Charlie will cough blood when they will see it," Fred said to George. He never got an expensive gift like this ever in his life.
"This is the best present ever for me. Look it has my name ," George said to Fred. He literally wants to fly in whole Hogwarts to show it to everyone now. But decided against it.
"I am really jealous right now," Ron said to Fred and George. His brothers got the best present of their life. But he can't do anything because he was not in the team.
"Let's take it to Gryffindor common room and show it to others. Angelina will be very happy when she will see her own nimbus 2001," George said to Fred. Both laughed and attracted a lot of attention.
They took the package and left the dinning hall. They have to deliver four other broom to their owners. Ron and Hermoine left in search of Harry. Unknown to them Harry is in the library before the class can begin. Even he doesn't know about his new present.
