Chapter 93: Quidditch trial

After classes were over for the day, Harry still had one more appointment.

"All recruits, line up over there. " Oliver told the ten new recruits for the team. He was quite happy as they normally don't have more than five. But more importantly, they had two candidates for seeker.

Fred and George Weasley stepped forward and started to help with the trials.

"Those who came to apply for the position of beater, come with us"

Five boys followed them.

Alicia Spinnet approached the remaining ones.

"Chasers with me!"

Two boys and one girl went to follow her.

Harry was left waiting next to the other candidate for seeker.

He looked like an older boy maybe fifth or sixth year. He had short blonde hair and...was severely overweight. To the point that Harry was unsure if the broom would be able to lift him. Those runes clusters have a weight limit after all.

"Huff...hufff..."

"Are you okay?" Harry asked when he saw the boy breathing heavily.

"Fine....huff...just....huff...a bit....tired," he answered with difficulty.

'We have done nothing yet...' Harry looked shocked.

"Why do you want to join the team?" He could not imagine why someone so out of shape would want to join a sports team. After all, there were many better ways to lose weight, if that was his objective.

"Chicks!" he gave Harry a toothy smile.

"Im...uff....Darryl...by the...way."

"Harry."

"Nice...to...-"

"Are you guys ready to start?" Oliver looked at them with excitement. He was carrying a brown leather box under his arm.

"Looks like we have our seeker...this one is promising." Alicia had a wide smile on her face.

"Incredible..." Oliver was able to get a better look than the others. He saw Harry predicting the path of the golden snitch and placing his hand on its path before it moved.

"He is a natural."

"Okay, I'm...ufff...ready...uff...to start." Darryl had just managed to mount his broom.

"What?" Oliver had genuinely forgotten there was someone else trying out for the position.

"Oh...right. The test is over."

"Really?....hufff....that's good...Im... exhausted." Darryl looked around but could not find Harry.

"The boy...left?...huf....so... I'm on...the team?"

Oliver sighed. This was depressing but they still needed a reserve seeker and he was the only candidate.

"You are...welcome to the team. As a reserved thought. "

"Good...enough..." Darryl gave him a thumbs up and collapsed on the grassy ground. He had reached his limit.

"You are definitely going on a diet..." Oliver whispered to himself.

Harry landed slowly next to the Captain and gave him the snitch.

"How did I do?"

"You serious?...welcome to the team, Harry." Oliver took the ball back.

"Did your father teach you those moves? or...-"

"Mate!, that was bloody awesome!" Fred came running.

"Oi Fred!. You said the whole thing." George complained.

"Ah...sorry. I got too excited!" Fred scratched his head.

"Harry, right?" Alicia got close to him.

"Say...wanna hang out after practice?. I'm sure that Angelina and Kate would love to meet our new teammate." The Middle Eastern beauty gave Harry a playful wink.

"Whoa, slow down your horses, Alicia. He is in his second year." Oliver reprimanded her.

"I was just trying to socialize with our new team member." Alicia pouted.

"Hey!...ufff..." Darryl raised his hand from the ground.

"Im...hff...Im....free!"

"You know what? I just remembered I have a ton of homework to do...and I need to get started with my trial now...bye!" She ran out as fast as she could.

"Anyways...this year is going to be interesting." Oliver looked hopeful for the first time in a year.
