NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9: Wise Choices
Soon it was time for the first flying lesson, Harry stood next to Daphne and Tracy. Malfoy and Adrian came soon, both were bragging to anyone who would listen about their skills on a broom which caused Harry and his two friends to roll their eyes.
Soon Madam Hooch came along and the lesson started, they were told to hold their hands over their broom and say up. Harry's immediately shot up to his hand, Draco and Adrian took a few tries, as did Daphne and Tracy. Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger weren't doing as good, Ron's eventually flew up but stuck him in the face.
Then they were told to mount the brooms and they did as they were told, Harry couldn't keep the small smile off of his face when it turns out that both Adrian and Draco had their grips wrong. But before anymore could be said, Tracy's broom started flying up on its own with Tracy still on it.
"Help!" Tracy screamed as she flew high into the air.
"Tracy!" Daphne screamed but before she could do anything Tracy's broom started flying around in the air, screaming as she did.
Harry's eyes narrowed with focus, he shot off from the ground and began chasing Tracy who was flying towards the castle. Harry sped up and reached Tracy and extended his arm.
"Grab on!" Harry shouted, Tracy screamed again but reached out for Harry.
Unfortunately she slipped off and fell from the broom and fell from about fifty feet, Harry quickly shot after her and grabbed her hand a few moments before she would've hit the ground and pulled up while still holding her. Tracy was slowed down enough for her to land on her feet without injuring herself, unfortunately she did hurt her shoulder. Harry quickly hopped off his broom and sat Tracy down.
"Are you alright?" He asked as everyone ran over to them
"Y...yeah, I think I might have dislocated my shoulder but apart from that I'm fine"
"Oh, is that it?" Harry asked calmly
"What do you mean is that it?!" Daphne hissed "She dislocated her shoulder"
"And?" Harry shrugged "Could be way worse, now Tracy, stay still and I'll pop it back in"
"No!" Tracy screamed and Harry held his hands up in surrender
"Fine" Harry sighed "but let me at least take you to the hospital wing"
"Don't argue Tracy" Daphne interrupted Tracy who was about to argue "I'm coming with you as well"
"Very well" Madam Hooch said "you three are excused, take Miss Davis to the hospital wing and I'd like to talk with you and your head of house later Mr Potter"
"Yes miss" Harry said, when suddenly he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
"Harry, what is it?" Daphne asked
"Nothing" Harry shook his head, he knelt down and picked Tracy up, carrying her bridal style and walked over to the hospital wing with Daphne following alongside him.
"You don't need to carry me you know" Tracy said with a slight blush on her face
"Yes I do Tracy" Harry replied "your shoulder might be what hurts but it's possible you've also hurt your legs, you don't want to risk it"
"Noble idiot" Daphne shook her head "Tracy, are you blushing?"
"NO!" Tracy screamed
"You totally are!" Daphne laughed "I can't believe it, Tracy Davis is actually blushing! Not so funny when you're the one who is turning red"
"I hate you"
"No you don't" Daphne smiled
"Am I supposed to pretend I can't hear any of this?" Harry asked
"That's up to you" Daphne shrugged
"Though I'd recommend it" Tracy added "unless you'd like me to hex you"
"Oh so I can save your life and carry you to the hospital wing but I get hexed for remembering a conversation that I didn't start or take part in?"
"Yes" Tracy nodded immediately and a silence fell over the three.
"Good to know" Harry said eventually, soon they reached the hospital wing and Harry placed Tracy upon one of the beds, soon Madam Pomfrey came over.
"Hello Madam" Harry greeted her "Miss Davis has had an accident in flying class, she appears to have injured her shoulder, it's probably dislocated. She may have possibly hurt her legs and I wouldn't worry about any mental trauma or shock as she is still her usual cheeky self"
As if to prove his point Tracy stuck a tongue out at Harry, who just rolled his eyes as Daphne giggled but Tracy quickly retracted her tongue when Madam Pomfrey told her off. Madam Pomfrey looked her over, and found that apart from her shoulder there was no problem with her.
Tracy had to stay inside the hospital wing for the day but would be released in the evening, personally Harry thought that that was overkill with how easily magic could heal physical problems but wasn't going to argue with Madam Pomfrey. If Harry was going to die then he was going to make sure that it wasn't because he decided to argue with the dragon nurse of the hospital wing.
