" a wonderful save Mr Knight. 10 points to Slytherin. Now move, I need to see if Mr Longbottom is alright ", Madam Hooch said while running towards Nevile. Damian though got rewarded with points didn't get a good eye from slyherins. They glared at him, to them, Longbottom family itself are traitors. Blood traitors that betrayed their ideals yet here is someone who helped them and worse he is from their house.
' traitor '.
' mudblood filth '.
' vermin '.
All kinds of cursed are muttered in low voices from the Slytherin students. The Griffyndoors meanwhile looked at him in surprise and cast a complex glance at him. By now all first years knew about the situation in Hogwarts. But this boy here from Slytherin rescued someone from Griffyndoor.
Harry and Ron don't have much reaction. They knew Damian isn't like other slytherins from the interactions although Ron still harboured some doubt on Damian. As Damian retracted his wand and was running Occlumancy and purification in full power, Malfoy picked up the dropped Remembrall.
He then spoke in a mocking tone," you see that guy's face. This was his. Maybe if that fat lump had given this a tight squeeze he would have remembered to land on his father arse ", Harry with rage shimmering in his eyes said," give it here Malfoy ".
Malfoy saw Damian is a distance away and not even turned to them. He spoke," no I'll place it somewhere for Longbottom to figure it out ", then climbed on his broom and took flight while dropping few words," maybe the roof will do it ".
After flying a few meters he spoke," what is it? Sacred potter ", Damian ignored them both. For now, he needs to completely suppress his Obscurus and the rampage it's ramnant energy doing in his body. By the time he had done it, both Harry and Draco are in mid air.
Draco three the Remembrall and said," catch it potter ", he threw it towards the castle ahead. Damian blinked when he saw Harry going straight to the castle. His eyes widened with horror. ' what the hell is this guy trying to do? Smash his face into the wall. All his bones will be dust if he hit the wall '.
But to his surprise Harry stopped and turned the broom. Then he do a spin and caught something. As Harry Potter arrived to the ground, the students all cheered. Meanwhile the Slytherins gloated as they saw McGonagall approaching with a serious look.
She called," Harry Potter ", Harry and the other Gryffindors who are cheering victory immediately became silent. McGonagall spoke," follow me ", amidst the downcast gazes of Gryffindors and gloating expressions of Slytherins, Harry left with McGonagall.
Madam Hooch came back a few minutes later and continued the class. When Damian used the broom to fly, he got another skill.
[ Skill : Broomstick Flight Lv 1 ]
[ Skill : Reflexes Lv 1 ]
Damian didn't care much about the first but the second caught his attention. Reflexes, not only very useful in quidditch but also very important for survival. A necessary skill to react and evade to incoming attacks. Damian wanted to raise this skill level as much as he can.
It's a necessary skill for survival afterall. Damian returned from the classes and met Harry. Turns out McGonagall made him a seeker. Damian looked astonished. As they chatted along the way Ron exclaimed," a seeker? That's great Harry. You must be the youngest seeker in the century ".
Harry said," according to McGonagall ", Damian said," congratulations on becoming a seeker. By the way, did you flew on a broom stick before? You ride the broom like you're very proficient with it ", Ron asked," that's right Harry. Did you flew on a broom stick before? That trick you pulled there is way above someone who is riding a broom for first time ".
Just then the twins arrived," congratulations Harry. We heard you became our seeker "," never knew you had that in you, looking forward to the day we are gonna play the game ", Ron explained," Fred and George are in the team too ", the twins said," we're bearers. Our job is to make sure you won't get bloodied ".
" Rough game Quidditch is. Brutal Though no one died in the game in recent years ", another twin said," though few went missing occasionally. But they will turn up in a month or two ".
Ron said," come on Harry. Quidditch is great. Let's gain the reason. You'll be grateful too ", Harry said," but I never played quidditch what if I make a fool outbof myself ", just then Hermione who followed them said," You won't make a fool out of yourself. It's in your blood ".
The three looked at Hermione with confusion. She told them to follow her. They arrived at the trophy room. Quidditch trophies are in a display case. Hermione pointed her finger at a particular trophy. There is the name engraved on the part of the trophy.
Seeker
James Potter
" Woah ", Harry exclaimed while Ron asked," Harry you never told me your father is a seeker too ", Harry said still a little shocked that his father is a seeker," I didn't know ". Damian asked," how come she knows you better than yourself Harry? ".
As they're going back to the great hall, an owl arrived. Harry picked up the letter and said," Hagrid invited me to his hut. Want to go together? ", Ron nodded. Harry turned to Damian while Damian asked," can I come too? ". Harry responded with a nod. While Hermione tagged along with them.
On the way she couldn't hold herself and asked Damian many questions like how did he learned so much magic? How is he able to duel with that much proficiency? Why is he not scared about their retaliation? How is he able to get so much knowledge in short time?
Damian at one point found it annoying. He answered half heartedly with half truths and lies. When they arrived at Hagrid's hut, Damian stiffened in his place. Because this place, have so many expensive things lying around. They're all raw materials that will cost galleons to obtain. Hagrid won't be a secret rich merchant right?
