13 Flying (2/2)

”Then give it back!”

Draco gave a glare at Harry with his cold blue eyes, ”Oh! Mr. Savior, please don't bother with us. As you probably listened to what my friends just said, We will give it back to Mr. Longbottom when he comes out of the hospital.”

Draco then started walking away with the Slytherin students smirking. Draco didn't want to bother with him, He simply could have given the Remembrall back, but this was about Pansy and his pride.

”I said give it back, Malfoy.” Harry said under the support of other Gryffindor's. Harry couldn't just sit there while his friend was insulted. Hermione just stood there neither supporting any sides.

Draco smirked, he now wanted to just destroy the Remembrall to show Mr. Savior here that he wasn't someone he could boss around. But then he suddenly remembered Quidditch. In the books, Harry got to be in the Gryffindor Quidditch team, because of the whole Remembrall situation.

'Maybe I should steal the only things he likes in school, Quidditch as a punishment. But again, I am just delaying it... since after the first year, students can participate in Quidditch themselves and with Harry's talent he was sure to be selected. But then again, if I interfere with this it may disturb my plans.. since he wouldn't get suspicious of Snape.' Draco thought things through, and he turned his back to face Harry.

Draco looked at Pansy and said, ”Give me the Remembrall, will you?”

Pansy nodded and passed the ball to him, She and Theodore were sure that Draco will likely destroy the ball.

”Then Mr. Potter how about we have a challenge.” Draco said smiling.

”What challenge?” Harry asked getting cautious.

Theodore and Pansy were surprised as well wondering what was going through the head of his.

Draco casually threw the ball in the air and caught it, with one of his hands holding the broom, ”A simple challenge, I will throw the ball high up in the air, and as it begins to fall we will both compete to catch it on our brooms, and whoever does catch it is the winner, How about it?”

Harry nodded, Pansy, came forward and said, ”Let me do it since the problem occurred because of me.”

”Silly girl.” Draco said flicking her head with his fingers, but he nodded none the less. She was doing this to keep her pride and Draco wasn't going to stop her either. ”So how about it Mr. Boy-who-lived, you vs Pansy.”

”I want to fight against you.” Harry said.

”Oh! Afraid of a girl are you, Mr. Savior.” Pansy said, ”Don't worry, I will be kind enough to not leave a scar.”

When it comes to comebacks, Pansy was way better than Draco. The result could be seen in Harry's face.

”Fine!” Harry said gritting his teeth.

Draco smirked, The Slytherin students and Gryffindor backed off a little surrounding them in a circle. Draco in the center and Harry and Pansy in each corner on their broom.

Hermione suddenly came in front of him,

”No! Draco” Hermione came in front of Draco. ”Madam Hooch told us not to move -- you'll get us all into trouble.”

Draco looked at Hermione and smiled, ”Hermione, there is one thing you should understand, Pride is and always will be greater than rules.”

Saying that he floated up and stopped in mid-air. Harry and Pansy got ready on their broom to fly up any second.

Draco was smirking while holding the ball as he was secretly pouring a large quantity of Mana into it. He threw the ball in his hand high in the air, then he spun in nearly 90-degree angle hitting the falling ball with the tail of his broom shooting it high up in the air.

”Go” He shouted and both Pansy and Harry shot up in the air.

Draco landed on the ground with some shocked faces looking at him. Daphne came up to him and said, ”Wow! Draco, I didn't think you would be great at flying as well.”

Draco didn't say anything and just smiled. He looked at Hermione who was glaring at him but as soon as he looked towards her she turned her head up to look at the match between Harry and Pansy.

Theodore came over and looked at Draco, ”This is really different from you.”

Draco was looking up so he didn't bother looking at Theodore's face, ”Oh! How so?”

”Normally you would have thrown the ball far away or just destroyed it when Harry kept nagging. Since you are short tempered and childish.” Theodore said, ”But you came up with this competition instead, I don't know if you have matured or you just got more annoying.”

”Maybe both.” Draco replied with a slight smile.

------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Draco said, ”Go” both Harry and Pansy shot up towards the sky with great speed. Draco was surprised seeing Pansy's talent in flying as she was going head to head with Mr. Savior who had a plot armor consisting of Flying genes,

(I was always confused about Harry's talent in flying as he was able to defeat Malfoy by catching the remembrall with a smooth drive. Harry comes out of nowhere with no information about brooms other than things what the teacher told the class a minute ago. I can see Magical talent being passed from his father or mother but seeing flying talent supposedly being passed is what I consider a plot armor, just to move the story forward. Even if you have natural talent, without any information about flying properly {Neville crashed before the teacher could teach anything about flying.} It seems impossible to me in any situation where he could pull that off.. Sorry Just a rant... I needed to get that off of my chest.)

Pansy was reaching her hand towards the ball when suddenly, Harry got ahead of her slowly. Pansy gritted her teeth as she tried her hardest to reach the Remembrall. Harry who was in front got hold of the Remembrall but it quickly slipped from his hand. Pansy took the advantage and tried to catch the falling ball but seeing Harry was going to beat her to it, she kicked the ball with the tail of her broom shooting it up and forward. Both Pansy and Harry chased after the ball which was shooting of towards a tower. Seeing the ball about to crash into the wall, Harry quickly went in front doing a quick turn, kicking the ball away from the wall so it won't crash and break.

Pansy took the chance to catch the ball. But as soon as she did, Harry came flying forward straight for her, trying to dodge Pansy went sideways but her hand was hit by Harry's knee causing the ball to fall down. Both Pansy and Harry seeing that did a quick dive trying to catch the ball.

-------------------------------------------------------

Yo! since most people didn't want Draco to play Quidditch... I had to give the power of Quidditch to someone else. Whether you like it or not, Quidditch has some importance to the story so I will need to involve Draco in some of it.
