Really Cullen? [Hiatus]

“Are you serious!?” Cedric screech, absorbing the information of the previous night given by Adam. Slamming the table, a couple of students turn their heads towards them both.

“Shhh!” One of the Ravenclaws who were studying glared.

“I- uhm.. Sorry..?” He then sit back down; and scoot closer while Adam looks in amusement. “Harry actually did that? Didn’t know that his heart isn’t pure black- I mean of course his heart isn’t but for him?” Cedric questions the boy beside him in disbelief. “Yup” Adam nodded while popping the ‘p’ 

“Honestly, it was the highlight of my week when he suddenly bursted into the common room with dust all over him.” Adam starts to cackle while another footsteps approach. 

“You sure?” Harry frowns as he enters the outdoor court. Tugging the book in his arm closer to his chest he then sat down beside Adam, quite upset by the other Slytherin previous remarks.  Harry sighs while Adam perks up.

“Have you guys heard about the rumors circulating on the third floor?” 

Cedric and Harry gave each other a questioning look, turning to face Adam once more they shook their heads. “Well.. we have the ghost of Dumbledore’s ex haunting the locked room” Adam starts to laugh, looking at the unamused expression from Cedric and Harry. He took a deep breath and gain his composure. “Am-and uhm.. Uhhh.. some gems? Jewelry..? Anyway.. Some said it was made by that popular philosopher”

“Nicolas something.. Uhm..” 

“Nicolas Flamel?” Cedric filled the blank, Adam immediately grinned and nodded repetitively. “Yeah! Him!” Thinking it was the end of Adam’s daily ramble. He started rambling about other rumors. 

“Well.. rumors are still rumors” Cedric stretched his upper body, groaning. Harry yawned tiredly as he put his head on the table hoping to have a quick nap when something.. No.. a figure catches his eye. “Isn’t that Wood and Potter?” Harry asks as he watches the two Gryffindoors enter the court right beside the one they’re in.. 

“Probably teaching him basics and stuff.. Kinda nonsense that is.. Having someone in the team but doesn’t even know the basics..” Adam huff. “They’ve been doing practice for a couple of times, I hope we don’t need to pause mid-game because Potter had forgotten how to play” The younger Slytherin joked receiving a laugh from his friends. 

“Imagine if Mrs.Potter stopped the game for her small, saint child getting bruised” Harry laughed, covering his mouth trying to muffle the sound. Adam is clutching his stomach while Cedric is covering his entire face. It’s really nice.

“Cullen! We have a game today if you hadn’t forgotten!” Flint screeches through the comfort of his own dorm. Rubbing his eye he tore open the curtain, glaring tiredly towards the quidditch captain. Harry turned around staring at the clock. “It’s 6 a.m. What do you need from me!?” Harry stood up from the bed, supporting himself from just waking from his slumber. 

Flint grinned. “Quidditch training! And I swear to you that if we lose, I will never ever force you to do the co-captains job.” Flint grinned in amusement thinking of how much his words impacted Harry. “I truly do not give a shit but whatever.” Harry could only yawn.

–

Since Harry and the Slytherin team got the benefits of having an early breakfast, the current free time is used for rest and in Harry’s case.. A nap. 

As soon as he was about to fall into a nap, a strong shake from Adam woke him up. “What..!?” Harry rubs his eyes and turns to see what’s the thing Adam’s pointing at. “Isn’t that-” 

“THE NIMBUS 2000???” Adam screeches as he violently shakes Harry. ‘I truly do not give a shit.’ Harry rolled his eyes.

–

Harry yawned as they stand in front of the wooden door waiting to be released, Flint is giving his usual speech about how much of a loser Wood is and to suck his di-

Other than that.. A couple of not-so-motivational words and they were freed.

Flying through the soaring skies on his broom is such a refreshing feeling for Harry, the swooshing sound from his team and enemies broom can be heard even from far away.

“Hello and Welcome to Hogwarts’ first Quidditch game of the season!”

“Today’s game is.. Slytherin versus Gryffindor!” 

The cheers from the stands filled with students,staff and professor erupted with cheers, Harry eyes lingering on the Slytherin stand, smiling seeing Adam and Cedric waving at him and cheering on him. Win.

The flyers from both houses form a circle in the middle of the field, meanwhile the the youngest member of the opposite team slowly struggles trying to go down. He chuckled a bit. 

Looking around, the anxiety starts to kicks in inside of him, gripping his broom tightly, he can also feel the bloodlust creeping from his teammates. Not like he can do anything because the captain himself encourages it, Harry sigh and brush his bangs out of the way so he can have a clearer view of his surrounding.

“Now! I want a nice, clean game! From all of you.!” Madam Hooch looks around, observing the players. The Slytherin team looked at eachother, awkwardly. 

It's gonna be violent.

Madam Hooch leans down, kicking the chest, releasing the bludger and snitch. Harry turn his view to the golden snitch. ‘Now or nothing’ Harry bit his lip

“The bludgers erupt! Following by the golden snitch!” Lee Jordan's voice started to tense, Harry who’s following the snitch movement with his eyes, glares awkwardly at Potter since the golden snitch flies directly in front of his face before flying away again.

“Remember, the snitch is worth 150 points!”

This time, the snitch flies towards Harry, circling around him before flying away once again.

“And if the seeker, who catches the snitch, ends the game”

Madam hoops grab the quaffle from the chest, holding it by her side before throwing it up into the air, starting the game.

“The quaffle’s released..”

“And the games begin!”

Harry looks around trying to spot the snitch as his teammates try to grab the quaffle, seeing as the enemy team has it, Harry hopes someone can block the goals. He then flies out of the way, dodging the other flyers who's after the quaffle. Looking up, Potter looks stunned not  knowing what to do. Harry smiled, taking it as an advantage. 

“Angelina Johnson scored! Giving 10 points to Gryffindors!” Harry turned his head. 

“What.” He muttered under his breath. He took a deep breath and try to keep searching for the snitch.

Seeing as he teammates have the quaffle the burden lessen as he flies around, helping his teammate and bothering the opposite team. Harry keeps his eyes open.

The quaffle was blocked by Wood. ‘Flints is gonna be so piss’ 

.. “Another 10 points for Gryffindor!” What.

“Flint-” Harry could barely finish his sentence before Flinch snatched one of the beaters and sent the quaffle right at Wood’s stomach, making him fall to the ground. 

“-ake that side!” Flint's screeching voice can be heard. Harry curses as he fly away.

“Dirty tricks.. As long as it doesn’t affect me..” Harry frowned, staring as another Gryffindor fell down from her broom. 

The points are currently tied.

“Woah- Akh-!” Potter struggles as his broom becomes uncontrollable flinging the poor boy around like a mad cow, Harry turns to look at the struggling boy but his eyes are unfortunately fixated on the snitch, with no hesitation he flies and not looking back to Potter. “Cullen has seen the snitch but- oh no! Potter is currently struggling on his broom!” The voice echoes. Harry paid no attention as he chased the snitch. Harry's eyes linger back, seeing Potter not on his broom anymore but hanging from it and gripping it tightly. 

Harry gulps. “Ignore him Harry.” He whispered to himself

–

Harry has been chasing the snitch for  solid-minute when the sound of another broom starts approaching, Potter smashes onto him forcing Harry to lose a bit of speed. “We meet again Potter!” Harry gritted his teeth as he kicked Potter away from him. Potter didn’t give up, recovering from being kicked away, the two seekers are side by side. 

The two went down, following the snitch and it’s dangerously lower and lower. Harry was no Gryffindor but Flint’s rage is more scary. Harry instead of going down closer to the ground, he instead flew forwards. Potter starts standing and balancing on his broom trying to reach for the snitch. 

‘I’m gonna fucking die.’ Before Potter could get the snitch, Harry went down and smashed Potter, making both of them fall and roll on the field. Harry got hurt the most from the fall, seeing as somehow, Potter didn’t just fall but also landed on Harry!, seeing as Potter didn't got hurt that bad, he also add salt to the wound...

He also got the snitch.

Potter basically rolls down from landing on top of him, raising his hand showing the golden snitch in his hand while still laying on the ground beside Harry.

“He’s got the snitch! Aiden Potter has received 150 points by catching the snitch!”

Madam Hooch blow her whistle and announcing,,

“GRYFFINDORS WINS!!” Everyone starts to cheer with the exception of the Slytherin house. “Merlin- That hurts..” Harry lay flat on the field, trying to push himself up.Suddenly a hand appeared right in front of him. “Uhm.. Good game..?” Potter awkwardly smiles. Harry sighs and grabs his hand as Potter supports his weight and helps him get up. 

Harry then grab Potter’s hand which were holding the snitch and raises it to the air with a smile to the younger boy

–

“Well it seems here Mr.Cullen, you’ve broken two bones and have a fractured rib.. How is that even possible..?” Madam Pomfrey stares at the boy confused. “A nasty fall?” Harry laughs awkwardly. “I’ll be sure Professor Snape will be waiting on how his best seeker's health report is.. Mr.Cullen you shall rest while I go visit your head of the house” Madam Pomfrey turned and walked away while his friends approached him. 

“Dude! You took a pretty nasty fall! Are you alright!” Adam shook the seeker, concerned for his well-being. “Calm down Adam.. Beside didn’t you almost fainted even when you’re not even playing?” Cedric spoke with a soft smile, seeing the younger boy getting red the Hufflepuff laugh. “Yeah-yeah! Anyway- Dude! Why did you smash onto Potter that hard!? If you went a bit slower you could probably get the snitch and not 2 broken bones and a fractured rib!”

Harry could just shrug. “ You know how I act when it comes to Quidditch.. Besides according to our dear captain, violence is the answer” Harry smiles innocently while his friends look slightly concerned. 

“Sure Harry.. Also-! Did you hear? Someone set Professor Snape’s robes on fire!...”

“If you hadn’t noticed, I have been stuck in here since the match….”

–

Aiden knocked on the door of his mom’s office. “..Come in..!”

Opening the door, Aiden called out. “Mom..?” Lily lifted her head, and she smiled at her son. “Hey sweetheart, need anything?” Aiden steps in as soon of hearing the voice of his mother. “Can I ask you something?” Aiden walks towards the chair in front of Lily’s desk to sit down.. 

“Do you want to hangout and celebrate your win? I really wish we could though but rules are rules.. Unless your father have an idea-”

“No- I mean.. Sounds nice but.. I want to ask about the Slytherin seeker” Aiden gulp as Lily stares at him confused. “Well..His name is Harrison Cullen and is currently a third year” The witch repeats what was written on the file.  Lily look confused but Aiden gulps, he doesn't know why but the Slytherin seeker..
