Harry Potter One Shots

HoochXReader Quidditch Part 1

(Y/n's P.O.V)

Quidditch tryouts don't know why I still try, I suck at Quidditch, but I feel at home in the sky, high above the ground, high above my problems; none of the issues of the world can get to me. But that doesn't stop me from sucking at Quidditch. Don't get me wrong, I'm a great flyer. It's just everything else I suck at. Since I have yet to make the team, I can't fly while the team does, so I can only practice at night and during the holidays. The night before tryouts have come again. This year, I am determined to make the team. I want to leave Hogwarts, having won the Quidditch house cup for Ravenclaw. I am out on the Quidditch pitch high above my problems every night, practicing.

"Miss Y/l/n? What are you doing out here so late? It's past curfew?" Shoot, it's Madam Hooch.

"Sorry, Madam Hooch, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to come out and practice for tryouts tomorrow. It's my last year, and I want to make the team." I say, landing in front of her.

"Miss Y/l/n, you can not be here this late without a teacher for detention; otherwise, you should be in your common rooms. You will serve detention with me beginning right now." No, not detention. I have never had detention; I always try to be good.

"Yes, Madam Hooch." I look at the ground and fiddle with my coat.

"I've seen you fly, so for detention today, I will teach you some moves to help you make the team." I looked at her in shock. Did she just say what I thought she said?

"Wait, you giving me detention to train me?" I need clarification.

"Yeah, I've been watching you fly since your second year. I know how much this means to you." Wow, this is the first time she has interfered in six years?

"Thank you!! Thank you so much!!" This meant the world to me.

"Your Welcome! Anyway, your tactic is good but too commonly seen. You have studied every game and used everyone else's tactics. You need your own or use some from the old Quidditch games. But for now, I'll teach you some popular moves from when I was a student that haven't been used since." And with that, she summoned her broom, and the lesson began.

I had never seen the moves she showed me in a match before, and as she had guessed, I had studied everyone from every team and everyone who tried out for the Ravenclaw team. I wasn't very original like Madam Hooch said, so if I learned these moves, it would take everyone by surprise when I used them. They will be new moves as far as they know. We went back inside when sunrise approached, and she led me back to my shared room.

"Thank you! I think I have a fighting chance this year of making the team. I couldn't have done it without you." I say, hugging her; she was shocked but hugged back.

"Yes, you have a shot if you can stay awake long enough to make the team." With that, we said good night and went to bed.

The next day, I made the team, and we ended up winning every match we played and taking the Quidditch House Cup for Ravenclaw House.
