Around midday, in the great hall, many of the students were working on their homework. It just around lunch time, and another feast was in progress that same time. But rather than sitting at the teachers’ table today, Twilight and the rest of the Mane Six chose to sit beside the Gryffindors at their table.
“So… how did every pony’s first day of teaching go?” Twilight asked her friends.
“Aside from almost getting’ eaten by a giant Venus Fly Trap, can’t complain none,” Applejack replied.
“Eaten by a Venus Fly Trap?” Twilight asked, confused. “How did that almost happen?”
“Ah was tryin’ tah teach the young’uns about the different growth processes of varyin’ plants. Apparently young Neville tried to speed up the process with a spell to make it grow faster. The plant ended up takin’ to it too well and next thing ah know, ah’m wrestling the thing to the ground!”
“Goodness darling!” Rarity gasped. “Were you hurt at all?”
“Nah, just lil banged up is all,” Applejack assured. “Ah talked tah Professor Sprout and told her ah wanna help Neville a lil bit more. The boy seems tah have a bit of a harder time getting’ it than the others.”
“I think that’s a very nice thing of you to do Applejack,” Twilight commended.
“Thanks Twi!” Applejack smiled.
“Good thing it wasn’t a ‘singing’ Venus Fly Trap, A.J.,” Pinkie replied casually.
“Wut’s the difference?” Applejack questioned.
“Well aside from the ‘obvious’… they’d be impervious to every form of bullet, rat poison, and not even blades would cut it down. I’d tell you all the things they’d say… but the rating in this story won’t permit me to say it.”
Pinkie’s friends stared blankly toward the party pony, who proceeds to take a piece of cake, take a can of whip-cream from her mane, squeezed the filling deep in the cake, and stuffed it messily into her mouth, chewing loudly. But their attention was interrupted when Rainbow came in, flying a few loops over their heads before shooting into the air and zipped right down.
“Yeah well, I’m super excited to teach the kids some flying later,” She said excitedly. “Finally, a chance for me to both showcase my awesomeness as a teacher and pass on my sick moves to the younger generation.”
“Yeah Dash, cuz the next thing any of us want is a whole new lot of braggers!” Applejack joked.
The others giggled over Applejack’s comeback, while Rainbow glared with a huff before taking her seat at the back of the table.
“I personally love being able to help care for all the magical creatures here at the school,” Fluttershy spoke up. “Especially little Rich here.”
She lifted her cage and opened it up, thereby allowing her little Niffler, Rich, out and about so she could cuddle with him as he nuzzled his head under her chin.
<>
Why she name him Rich?
Nifflers love anything shiny and mostly go after money. The name stuck.
Then why not just call him ‘Shiny’?
Mmm-mm. Can’t… that’s what Twilight calls Shining Armor.
Ooh… right…
<>
Anyway… it was during this moment the Young Six strolled into the Great Hall and made their way toward the end of the table where everyone else sat. Harry and Ron followed closely behind them. The moment they took their seat at the table, Twilight turned over and noticed they seemed pretty solemn and upset.
“Are you kids okay?” She asked concerned.
“Not really…” Gallus replied gloomily.
“Why not?” Pinkie asked them. “This is the most funnest, most fantastical time ever! No need to be a sourpuss while we’re all here. Let’s turn those frowns upside down!”
Pinkie smiled brightly as she grabbed Gallus’ cheeks with her hooves and pulled them till it appeared he was smiling. She pulled away only for Gallus to reach up and adjust his expression back toward a frown.
“Come on y’all, what’s wrong?” Applejack asked.
“We got detention with Snape later today,” Smolder grumbled.
“Why?” Twilight asked. “What happened?”
“He singled out Harry and made him feel stupid just because he’s famous,” Sandbar explained. “Silverstream, Smolder, and I stood up for Harry and Snape gave all of us detention.”
“Yona, Ocellus, and Gallus do nothing wrong!” Yona added. “But Snape punish us too.”
“That’s just terrible!” Rarity said appalled.
“It doesn’t seem very fair to punish all of you for helping a friend,” Fluttershy added.
Harry plopped down beside the Young Six, smiling their way.
“Well regardless, I’m thankful you stuck up for me,” He thanked them.
Turning toward their friend, the Student Six couldn’t help but smile slightly.
“Anything to help our new best friend,” Silverstream smiled.
“Just wish it didn’t get us detention in the process,” Gallus sighed.
In the meantime, at another part of the table, Seamus tried out a spell upon a goblet of water.
“Eye of rabbit, harp string hum. Turn this water, into rum!”
He peered into the cup only to see nothing happened. Shaking his head, he pointed his wand toward the goblet and tried again.
“Eye of rabbit, harp string hum…”
The students and the Mane Six glanced at him curiously wondering just exactly what he was going for.
“What kind of spell is that?” Twilight asked. “Since we’ve been here, I’ve studied a multitude of spell books and haven’t come across anything like that.”
“Probably because it’s not a spell Twilight,” Spike deadpanned.
“What’s Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?” Harry asked Ron.
“Turn it into rum,” Ron replied. “He actually managed a weak tea yesterday, before—”
*BOOM!*
A mighty flash cut off Ron, a loud explosion ensued, and everyone flinched. The cup exploded leaving Seamus charred. Several students, including the Student Six, laughed at his expense while Hermione fanned away the smoke with her hand.
“Now that’s what I call a drink that ‘explodes’ with flavor,” Rainbow joked.
BOO!
*SPLAT!*
A tomato flew out of nowhere and smacked right into Rainbow’s face. The cyan Pegasus groaned, wiping the residue off her face.
“Seriously, where do these tomatoes keep coming from?!” She asked seriously.
Suddenly, a bunch of screeching is heard as a flock of owls come into the hall through the rafters above.
“Ah! Mail’s here!” Ron smiled.
The owls soar through the hall, dropping parcels toward the students. One drops a letter and a newspaper, The Daily Prophet, to Ron, another drops one to Hermione, and Harry… got nothing. Of course, he wasn’t the only one. Neither the Mane nor the Student Six were left with any mail to receive.
“Wonder why we didn’t get any mail?” Applejack questioned.
“Probably because when the alliance was renewed, any pony can come and visit Hogwarts whenever they like,” Twilight explained.
“Guess if any pony wanted to deliver us something, they’d bring it to us themselves,” Spike added.
“WHOA!!!”
A yelling sound drew the ponies and other creatures to look up as a very familiar grey mare with a blond mane flew hazardously through the Great Hall. Suddenly, the pony in question crashed upon the table and sent an assortment of food, cutlery, and plates flying about. Soon as the mare sat up, everyone could see she wore a Ponyville Post Office uniform. However, her most defining feature was the pair of golden yellow eyes that stared cross-eyed at them all. Knowing it was immediately, the Mane and Student Six chuckled and smiled.
“Derpy, you came!” Pinkie stated excitedly.
The pink party pony ran right toward the mail delivery mare, embracing her in a big hug, to which she happily returned.
“So, I see you’ve been practicing that landing,” Rainbow commented.
“Whatever brings you all the way out here darling?” Rarity asked.
“I’ve brought the mail for all of you!” Derpy responded.
Digging into her brown mail bag strapped to her side, Derpy Hooves pulled out an assortment of letters and packages. All of which for the both the Mane and Student Six.
“Yes!” Silverstream shrieked. “Mama’s homemade seaweed fritters!”
Smolder looked through her package to find a huge lava rock from her home back in Equestria.
“Awesome! Now I’ve got a piece of home I can keep with me for the school year. Must’ve been Garble’s idea.”
Harry Potter turned towards the Daily Prophet besides Ron.
“Can I borrow this?” Harry asked Ron, who nods. “Thanks.”
In the meantime, Nevillie unwrapped his gift and out from the box he pulled out a clear glass ball with a gold banner around it. One of his fellow students, Dean Thomas by name, took notice.
“Hey, look!” Dean Thomas pointed out. “Neville’s got a Remembrall!”
Everyone eyed the tiny glass ball in confusion.
“What the hay is a Remembrall?” Applejack asked.
“I’ve read about those,” Hermione answered. “When the smoke turns red, it means you’ve forgotten something.”
As she explained, a small cloud of red smoke filled the glass ball.
“The only problem is, I can’t remember what I’ve forgotten,” Neville replied confused.
“You know Twilight, you could really use one of those,” Spike chuckled, nudging Twilight’s side.
“What do you mean?” She asked quizzically.
“You know how you are always forgetting things? Maybe if you had one of those, you wouldn’t forget as much.”
An insulated look formed along Twilight’s face, but she said nothing. As she looked around the table, toward the rest of her friends, she noticed they all nodded in agreement over Spike’s words. A sigh escaped Twilight’s lips as she looked through her own mail.
“Hey guys, somebody broke into Gringotts,” Harry said suddenly.
Hearing this, everyone turned toward Harry in shock.
“WHAT?!” They all asked together.
Harry nodded and gestured toward the paper, as all the ponies (Even Derpy) and the students gathered around him to see what he spoke about. If someone broke into Gringotts Bank, a place meant to be impenetrable, this was clearly a serious matter. They gaze toward the paper as Harry read the article.
“Believed to be the work of dark witches or wizards unknown, Gringotts goblins, while acknowledging the breach, insist that nothing was taken. The vault in question, number 713, had in fact been emptied earlier that same day.”
The Student Six looked toward each other, the last part of that story catching them off guard.
“That’s odd,” Ocellus replied. “Harry, wasn’t that the vault you and Hagrid went to.”
“Yeah, it was,” Harry answered.
“Ooh… so mysterious!”
A voice drew them over and they finally acknowledged Derpy Hooves eying curiously toward the article, nodding her head as if she were pondering.
“Um… Derpy dear,” Rarity spoke up. “Not that we don’t enjoy your company on these trips, don’t you have a route you still need to complete?”
“Hmm?” Derpy looked over, realizing. “Oh yeah! Of course! I really should be on my way; places to go, packages to deliver. We really should get together more often. Any-who, I gotta be going! Have a muffin day!”
The group waved as Derpy Hooves quickly took off into the air…
*BAM!*
“OW!”
The group winced as Derpy Hooves crashed into a part of the ceiling. She pulled her face from the hard service, chirping birds swirling around her head, as her eyes rolled round and round. Shaking her head, clearing herself, she turned back toward the group, smiled with a light chuckle, then took off through the opening. Rainbow Dash, among the group, shook her head.
“Sometimes I worry about that mare…”
<>
Later that afternoon, just outside Hogwarts castle, the Student Six, alongside the students of both Gryffindor and Slytherin house, lined up in two straight rows. By their sides, each student had a broomstick specifically for today’s class. Their teacher, Madam Hooch, strolled down the line. She had short hair and hawk yellow eyes.
“Good afternoon, class,” Hooch greeted.
“Good afternoon, Madam Hooch!” The class answered back.
“Good afternoon, Amanda, good afternoon…”
By the time she reached the end, Madam Hooch turned to address the class.
“Welcome to your first flying lesson,” Hooch began. “And this year, we have someone very special joining us for our lessons this semester. An experienced flier and member of a prestige flying squadron in her homeland. All the way from Equestria, please welcome…
“ME!!!”
At rapid speed, Rainbow Dash flew in beside Madam Hooch performing a loop-de-loop around the class before pausing in mid-flight hovering over the kids. A majority of the Gryffindors, specifically the Student Six, applauded for Rainbow Dash. At least ‘one’ student from Slytherin actually clapped hands for the cyan Pegasus, but the moment her classmates looked… the applause stopped.
“What’s up Gryffindors and Slytherin?!” Rainbow called out. “I hope you’re all ready for your first flying gig because there is no greater joy than being up in that blue sky, feeling that rush of wind against your face, and soaring at incredible speeds! Now I know there are some of you among this class who can already fly without broomsticks. I’m looking at you guys.”
Rainbow acknowledged the following members of the Student Six who already have wings: Gallus, Ocellus, Silverstream, and Smolder. Ocellus was slightly timid from the attention she received from the students, while Smolder gave a thumbs up toward the Wonderbolt.
“All jokes aside… there’s going to come a time when you want to be able to fly and those wings for whatever reason won’t work. That’s what we’re here to teach you with these brooms. So you’ll still have a means to be fly, and be awesome, and…”
“Are you quite finished Professor Dash?” Madam Hooch asked, stiffly.
“… Yeah Madam,” Rainbow replied, chuckling. “Carry on.”
Rainbow Dash assumed her position next to Madam Hooch, standing as seriously as possible beside the Hogwarts professor. For some reason, when it came to Hooch, she reminded her of some pony Rainbow Dash recalled before. As if history was repeating itself in some way.
“All right, what are you waiting for?” Madam Hooch questioned. “Everyone step up to the left side of their broomstick. Come on now, hurry up.”
All the students did just that, assuming their spot on the left position alongside their individual brooms. On instruction, Madam Hooch held one hand over the broomstick.
“Stick your right hand over the broom and say, ‘up’!”
“Up!” The kids shouted.
The moment Harry Potter shouted ‘Up!’, the broom immediately flew into his hand. Hermione and the Student Six stared toward him as the class continued.
“Wow!” Harry gasped, in amazement.
“Up!” Draco spoke.
His own broomstick flew directly toward the palm of his hand and he smugly grinned. While some of the students were able to get their broomsticks on command, the rest were having a slight difficult time.
“Up!” Yona grunted. “UP!”
“With feeling!” Hooch instructed.
“Concentrate!” Rainbow added.
Most broomsticks were slow to rise upon command, and both groups of students found themselves struggling to get their own broomsticks to cooperate. Ron found himself having trouble as the broom wouldn’t get off the ground. Even Hermione, with all her studies, found herself working with a particularly stubborn broomstick.
“Up! Up!” Hermione commanded, repeatedly. “Up! Up!”
“Up!!!” Ron shouted.
His broomstick immediately shot up and whacked him on the nose.
“Ooh!” Sandbar and Yona winced.
While Ron recovered, he noticed Harry laughing.
“Shut up, Harry,” Ron replied.
“Heh! Heh! Heh!” Gallus chuckled. “Guess somebody didn’t hit off well with their broom! Heh-heh-heh-heh!”
Little did Gallus realize that his own broomstick slowly rose beside him. Gallus stopped laughing the moment he saw the broom floating in mid-air. For a moment it just hovered beside him and even more puzzling was how Gallus initially didn’t utter the command.
“Uh…”
*WHACK!*
“OW!!!”
The griffin cried out as he clutched behind his flank, but the broomstick kept whacking him at that very tender spot. The majority of the class, especially the Slytherins, laughed at Gallus’ expanse as he found himself running away from the seemingly crazy broomstick. The teachers just stood there watching the scene, as the griffin kept crying out between every whack of that broom.
“Should we do something?” Rainbow asked.
“Believe it or not, that’s not the worst thing I’ve seen happen with a broom,” Madam Hooch replied. “Give him time, he’ll figure it out…”
<>
Eventually, all the students finally got their broomsticks in their hands though for how long none can say. Gallus massaged the tender feeling in his flank after a brief scuffle with his own broomstick, glaring at the magical item as if making sure it wouldn’t perform any mischief. But otherwise, the class continued as scheduled.
“Now, once you’ve got hold of your broom, Professor Dash and I want you to mount it,” Madam Hooch instructed. “And grip it tight, you don’t want to be sliding off the end.”
They watched the entire class mount their broomsticks one-by-one.
“Now normally, I’d do things rapid quick and very fast,” Rainbow added. “But Madam Hooch insists we’d do things nice and slow. So what we’re going to want you to do is just kick off the ground, on our command, nice and hard.”
“Keep your broom steady, hover for a moment, and then lean forward slightly and touch back down,” Hooch instructed further. “On my whistle… three… two…”
Just as Hooch blew the whistle, something unusual occurred. Somehow, Neville’s broomstick somehow lifted him off the ground and Neville looked quite frightened.
“Mr. Longbottom,” Hooch spoke.
“Neville, what are you doing?” Silverstream asked.
“We’re not supposed to take off yet!” Sandbar added.
But poor Neville kept soaring away uncontrollable and there was nothing the boy could do to stop himself.
“M-M-Mr. Longbottom!” Hooch called out. “Mr. Longbottom!”
“Hey Neville, where do you think you’re going?!” Rainbow shouted.
“Down! Down!” Neville screamed. “Help!!!”
Harry and the others could only watch as Neville immediately skyrocketed toward the sky.
“Come back down this instant!” Hooch demanded.
“I’ll get him!” Rainbow spoke.
The cyan Pegasus quickly took off after Neville, who flew uncontrollably in the air. At one point, Neville crashed against a wall, conking along it and then swooping it off. All the while, the poor boy screamed his head off as he clung to the broom for dear life. The Pegasus flew as fast as she could to reach out for the boy. And yet she found that this broom was flying much faster than she could flap her own wings. Soon, they were zooming toward the group of students while Hooch quickly held out her wand to stop him.
“Mr. Longbottom--!” Hooch shouted.
However, she and the students saw that Neville was coming in too hot. The students quickly stood aside as Neville flew right past the scattered students. Rainbow Dash saw she was flying towards Hooch, but was too late to go up and…
*WHAM!*
The cyan Pegasus crashed right into Madam Hooch, sending the Professor and her assistant tumbling head over heels. The Student Six turned back and saw Neville go up toward a nearby tower.
The boy screamed, hollering till he zoomed past a statue of a man holding a mighty sharp spear. Neville’s cloak caught the speak, flipping him off the broom and he hung there.
“Oh. Ah… help!” Neville cried out.
The boy wavered as the students and teachers looked up from below. All of a sudden, he heard a slight tear and looked up. In that moment, his cloak ripped through the spear sending him falling. But his cloak caught onto a nearby torch, making the boy slip off his cloak a second later and fell to the ground.
“Ahh!”
*CRASH!*
“Everyone out of the way!” Hooch called out.
She and Rainbow Dash raced through the group, as all the students scattered about. They cautiously approach Neville, who laid face first upon the ground unmoving.
“Hang on kid, we’ll get you up,” Rainbow assured.
“Is he alright?” Ocellus asked.
“I don’t know,” Smolder answered.
Hooch and Rainbow Dash helped Neville to his feet. Apparently, he had broken his wrist after his sudden fall.
“Ow-ow-ow-ow…” Neville cried.
“Oh, oh, oh, oh dear,” Hooch muttered. “It’s a broken wrist.”
“Ooh… I’ve been there before Neville,” Rainbow nodded, clicking her tongue. “Don’t worry, you’re in good hooves—hands. We’ll have you all fixed up in a jiffy, right teach?”
“Right then. Good boy come on now. Up you get.”
As the professor and her assistant help Neville to his feet, Draco reached down and grabbed Neville’s Remembrall, which fell from him. All this goes unseen, as the teachers begin to lead Neville away with them.
“Everyone’s to keep their feet firmly on the ground while we take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing,” Hooch instructed firmly. “Understand? If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will find themselves out of Hogwarts before they can say, Quidditch.”
“Um yeah, so…” Rainbow replied. “Just try not to do anything… ‘reckless’. We’ll be back.”
By the time the teachers left to take Neville to the hospital wing, a snicker escaped Draco’s lips as he displayed the Remembrall before his ‘goons’. Among them, a green haired girl who looked toward the boy quietly and nervously.
“Did you see his face?” Draco asked. “Maybe if the fat lump had given this a squeeze, he’d have remembered to fall on his fat arse.”
Draco and his goons laughed, but Harry and his friends were not pleased. They approached the boy as he displayed Neville’s Remembrall in one hand.
“Give it here, Malfoy,” Harry demanded.
“It’s Neville’s present,” Silverstream added. “It’s not nice to take what’s not yours; will you ‘please’ return it?”
“No,” Draco replied. “I think I’ll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find.”
The blond-haired boy hopped upon his broom, soaring around and through the group of students.
“How ‘bout up on the roof?”
Before any student can answer, Draco had already soared off with the Remembrall in his possession. He hovered several feet above the grounds, as if the boy himself were on top of the world.
“What’s the matter, Potter? Bit beyond your reach?”
Finally having enough, Harry got onto his broomstick. Getting the idea, the Student Six hopped on their own broomsticks despite several already having wings. Hermione reached out to stop him.
“Harry, no way!” Hermione objected. “You heard what Madam Hooch and Professor Dash said! Besides, you don’t even know how to fly.”
“Sorry Mione!” Smolder apologized, extending her wings. “But the time for talking is over!”
Harry and the Student Six take off to confront Draco, the rest of the students completely ignoring Hermione’s warning.
“What idiots!”
Soon, Harry and his friends were now high in the air, right across from Draco himself.
“Give it here, Malfoy, or I’ll knock you off your broom!” Harry demanded.
“You’d better listen to him, Mouthful,” Gallus growled.
“Yona want smash Malfoy for long time!” Yona threatened.
“Is that so?” Draco smirked.
Harry made a dash toward Malfoy, but Draco twirled his broom around a 360 degree angle. Draco looked toward him triumphantly until he realized he no longer held the Remembrall.
“Impossible,” He whispered.
“Oh… Malfoy!”
Draco looked up toward the young dragon, who clutched the Remembrall in her scaly claws.
“Looking for something?” She teased mockingly.
Draco snarled and sped towards her… only for Yona to crash into his side and knock him off course.
“SMOLDER FLY NOW!!!” Yona called out.
Smolder sped away with the Remembrall in her claws, the others flying off in separate directions. Draco recovered quickly enough, fixed his hair, and took off toward the dragon. Smolder clutched tightly to the Remembrall as tightly as she flew, looking back to see Draco catching up with a fierce gleam in his eyes. Looking up, she whistled toward Silverstream who flew over her.
“Heads up Silver!”
She hurled the Remembrall with great precision, expertly hurling it toward Silverstream. The hippogriff managed to catch it within her talons. While the other students were distracted, a red-and-yellow haired girl from Gryffindor snuck away and seemingly rushed off to get help. Unbeknownst to her, a ‘Slytherin girl’ watched her take off and silently made off to follow her without drawing attention.
This display kept up for a good ten minutes, the girls tossing the Remembrall over Draco’s reach like a game of ‘Monkey in the Middle’ with broomsticks. Eventually, Silverstream turned toward Ocellus who waves for a pass. Just as Silverstream made to toss it toward her Changeling friend, Draco finally lost his patience.
“That’s it! I’ve had enough!”
He pulled out his wand and aimed directly towards the Remembrall.
“Accio Remembrall!”
The Remembrall shot right out of Silverstream’s talons before she can throw it. She turned back and saw the object return to Draco’s hands. The Slytherin smiled triumphantly once more, holding it up for them to see.
“Have it your way, then!”
Draco hurled the Remembrall into the air, like a baseball. Harry zoomed after the ball, speeding toward a tower. Just as he was about to hit a window, from which McGonagall is working, he caught the Remembrall. McGonagall noticed this and looked surprised as Harry, along with the Student Six, flew back down to the grounds. All the students, apart from the Slytherin house, cheered as Harry and his friends landing back toward the ground with ease. They all rushed toward them, surrounding Harry and his friends.
“Good job, Harry!” One student cheered.
“Oh, that was wicked, Harry!” Another added.
“Thank you! Thank you!” Smolder bowed. “It was nothing! All in a day’s work!”
“Harry Potter?”
Harry Potter and the students turned around and took notice of McGonagall who appeared in the grounds, along with two familiar girls behind her.
“Follow me,” McGonagall commanded.
Harry sullenly followed her, while the Student Six looked on.
“Professor McGonagall…” Smolder spoke up.
“You too child,” McGonagall interjected. “Come with me.”
Smolder’s eyes widen, as she dropped her head with a sigh. She faced her friends for a moment before reluctantly following the professor and Harry. All the while, Draco and his goons (Except one) snickered in delight over a small victory. The others completely ignored them for the time being, their concerns only toward Smolder.
“This just hasn’t been a good day for us,” Gallus muttered.
“Oh no… what if Harry and Smolder are going to get kicked out?!” Silverstream asked, panicking. “What if we have to spend the rest of the semester without hearing from them again? How will we--?”
“Calm yourself, Silver,” Sandbar assured. “Maybeonce they explain themselves, McGonagall will go easy on them.”
“Maaybe?” Yona questioned.
<>
Back inside the school, McGonagall, along with Harry and Smolder arrived just outside of Professor Quirrell’s classroom. Inside, the teacher with the turban hat was teaching his students while holding onto an Iguana.
“You wait here,” McGonagall instructed, walking inside.
“An iguana s-such as this is…” Quirrell stuttered. “… an essential in-gredient…”
“Professor Quirrell, excuse me, excuse me,” McGonagall interrupted. “Could I borrow Wood for a moment, please?”
“Oh. Y-yes, of course,” Quirrell nodded.
One of the students, an older boy called Oliver Wood, got up to leave while Quirrell continued his lecture.
“And the vampire b-bat…”
As Smolder observed, wondering what was going on, she noted how each time someone entered or exit the classroom, an eerie roar emerged. Smolder was a slight uncomfortable, as she and her friends had yet to attend a Dark Arts classroom.
“Potter, Smolder, this is Oliver Wood,” McGonagall introduced. “Wood, I have found you a Seeker!”
“A Seeker?” Smolder questioned. “Um… wow… that’s… great! But what about me?”
“Well Smolder, I saw all the commotion along the grounds. I was on my way when I was informed by some students that one of them possessed remarkable talent on their part and should look into it.”
“… Meaning?” Smolder asked further.
“How would you like to represent the Gryffindor Quidditch team… as a Chaser?”
“I guess that sounds fun,” Smolder shrugged, confused. “But… what’s Quidditch?”
“Meet me at the grounds before school tomorrow morning,” Oliver Wood spoke up. “And I’ll explain everything to you both.”
“… Sure! Why not?”
While Smolder was most vocal over this sudden news, Harry Potter stood silently the entire time. So many thoughts raced into his head. Initially he assumed he and Smolder were in big trouble, probably at risk of being kicked out. But as soon as his friends find out about this big offer they had been given, shortly before the day was over, they too would be surprised. Yet that still begged the question… how did things suddenly turn around so quickly?
I guess Hooch is kind of like Harshwhinny, shame we only see her in one book though (at least in the case of important roles). But ooh, Smolder as chaser does make sense! Though I didn't expect Draco to know the Summoning Charm, I guess he probably is a bit more advanced, seeing as his father seems like the type to force his son ahead of the curve.
Great chapter!
Ah, perfect day, this updates and JDPrime’s current story updates, I’m happy!
Sometime’s being cross-eyed can be quite problematic, anyone like Derpy can’t see straight probably. Making your eye’s crossed so much can cause your eye’s to get stuck seeing double, but at the same time bump or crash into something.
Yeah, this is cool. What do you, the viewers in the theater, think?
Great job Enigma!👍 By the way is anyone watching the Super Bowl tonight?
Didn't expect Derpy to show up. Still, awesome chapter as always.
Oooo....K...Very nice chapter!
My only hope is, I sure hope Smolder won't be the only one to experience quidditch!
I find it funny no one has made note of the red and yellow haired girl.

Something was already done to me that I noticed differently in the dinning room scene

Just wait for PhD to write the actions of the EG
That can't be right. Unless you're saying Applejack did her job extremely well. In which case, carry on. I hope to see Neville improve.
Well, Hooch has the eyes. (Or is she thinking of somepony else?)
Also, well well well! Seems our dragon friend will be getting the Quaffle! Quite an interesting development!
Look like Smolder will have her own moment of shine as she and Harry becomes Chaser and Seeker for Quidditch game, let's they are not being sabotage by a certain Wizard.
I don't want to sound rude but how does Yona manages to fly with her broomstick so easily? Isn't she bigger than the broomstick? Unless they made a bigger broomstick for her size? I don't think broomstick can hold her any longer.

Here's some highlights
Little Shops of Horror reference
I'm really surprised that Twilight doesn't go nuts on them when she learned about getting a detention on their first day.
I wouldn't be surprised if Discord was the one who throw tomatoes at you.
Good job.
Awesome
Another chapter well done! Nice touch on the Derpy cameo. I wonder when she turn up in those adventures. Also, who’s are the two girls, another characters?
Also, can’t for Harry and Smolder tryout in the Quidditch.

Hello. I just came back from watching the Super Bowl.
Flying class sure took off to high altitudes. And poor Gallus with handling his broomstick. Derpy is more or less the Mane Six's Errol the owl.
10668005
I’m about to watch the halftime.
I knew that we had to work at least one of them into Quidditch, though I honestly should have put together in advance that Derpy what show up around the mail call. just makes total sense, dimensional boundaries nonwithstanding not that those have bothered us before.
I do believe that those two girls are familiar, I wonder what they are doing there and not in their own dimension.
Now that was an amazing and great chapter that was and i can't wait to see more chapters coming up
Forget chaser Smolder has what it takes to replace Oliver as Quidditch team captain

I have a co-worker that has one eye off to the side.
The brain adjusts to it and he is perfectly fine.
You have Muffins to do that.
While the first day usually starts off rough for any student at school, on some occasions the day is slightly easier when things start to turn around. True Harry Potter didn't receive any mail from anyone in particular (No surprise since I'm sure the Dursleys are content to be rid of the boy for most of the year) but something special does happen for him in ways he did not expect... but we'll get to that later.
As we see, thanks to the reestablished boundary between the Wizarding and Equestrian dimensions, mail carriers like Derpy Hooves for example are able to provide delivers for Twilight and her friends and in doing so giving her an additional route to work with. Plus, we do get to see the Student Six managing to fly on their own broomsticks (Though I did hear the question about Yona... and we're getting there... just bear with us). Anyways, thanks to Harry and the Students standing up against Draco, not only do they retrieve a fellow student's treasure back they also get a spot on the Quidditch team. With Harry being a Seeker and Smolder being a Chaser.
As for the aforementioned girls that were only 'vaguely' mentioned during this chapter, had anyone actually 'PAID ATTENTION' to Ph.D's commentaries... you'd know what we're talking about. All credit goes to the Doc himself for that.

In some ways she seems to be, given how she's a strict Hogwarts teacher. And true we hardly see her after this first feature, as she disappears during the series and is hardly mentioned at all. As for Smolder being part of the team, Mr. Enigma and I shared a long discussion over which of the Students are likely to play Quidditch and Smolder was among our top picks. It'll be interesting to see how she is able to learn to play from what she can learn from Mr. Oliver Wood.
10667855
Still have to read JD's latest chapter on that one story. But I'm glad your enjoying what we have with this chapter.
10668232
True, and interesting. Gallus seems more like Ron, wonder if he'll end up joining later, like Ron did
10667860
Huh... actually that did not occur to me. Then again, it's been a while since I've actually seen that movie. But in any case, there were tons of moments that are guaranteed to be memorable in this chapter. Glad to see you found some takeaways at this point.
10668234
We shall see. I think in this case Gallus had a rather mischievous broomstick.
10668239
Heh, it certainly seemed that way
10667867
Yeah, Derpy has a habit of crashing into things due to her own disability. The shame of it is that she was once a prominent young flier according to one Rainbow Dash episode, but then her eyes went funny for some reason and she hadn't been the same since. But at least she doesn't let that stop her from doing her job and she seems happy with her life.
10667895
Thank you very much for the compliment.
10667931
The fact she's willing to volunteer herself to addition service to help teach Neville to work on his magic, that is exactly what we meant. It's all in the details if you pay close attention.
10667938
Surprisingly Twilight Sparkle actually took this news very well. I guess she's learning not to freak out as much as she normally does.
10668009
In a way, the comparison between Derpy and Errol would be rather appropriate. I'm sure the two would somewhat be good pals.
10668049
Still plenty more to come. Mr. Enigma and I have loads of concepts we want to try out.
10668244
You're welcome.

Meanwhile, back in Discord's movie theater
---Discord's Cut---
It was during this time that Juniper Montage and her "fellow" Ravenclaws, were studying up on some spells assigned to them by their head professor, Professor Filius Flitwick. Also, Juniper was taking this moment to "refresh" herself on a handy charm spell dubbed Wingardium Leviosa.
Juniper Montage: "How does it go again? Oh yeah, the swish and flick."
Cho Chang: "You know Juniper. For a second-year, you seemed more of a first year who hasn't gotten a clue of being a student at Hogwarts..."
Juniper Montage: (Nervous) "Oh, uh, you-you think so? I mean...I'm sorry, I just get so nervous I...I forget and I don't know the first thing I'm doing. I mean..."
Cho Chang: "It's okay. I understand." (Gently puts a hand on Juniper to calm her) "If you'd like, I can help you get all caught up. Don't be ashamed to ask."
Juniper Montage: "Oh, really? Wow, that's awfully nice of you, Cho. But, I don't want to impose..."
Cho Chang: "Not at all! I insist."
Juniper Montage: (Smiles timidly) "...Okay."
---Discord's Cut---
Discord: (Turns to the viewers and readers) "How insulting! And I've just reserved a good seat for Fluttershy too! Harumph! But, just so I don't let it go to waste. Oh, PEEVES!!"
Peeves: (Pops up in the seat) "Yes, yes, Discord, me buddy! You miss me already?"
Discord: "You don't even know the HALF of it, my bestie ghostie! Oh, the thousands years haven't been friendly, I tell ya." (Feigns a dramatic pose) "Trapped in stone, never a day to be merry and free. OH, the misery!" (Breaks down crying a waterfall)
Peeves: "Aw, there, there, Discord." (Holds Discord in a hug)
---Back in the theater---
Trixie: (Shakes her heads) "Ugh, those two clowns are really weird..."
---Discord's Cut---
Wallflower Blush: (Sitting behind Applejack) "Uh, I helped a little..."
Most of the Audience: "D'awwwww!"
Gilda: "EEEEEWWWWW!!! This is way too wholesome for me..."
Ember: "You said it sister. I'm gonna go wash my mouth with some...uh...something I can wash my mouth with."
Big Mac: "Nope."
Granny Smith: "Why if I meet that snake in the grass, I'll give him the what for!"
Me: (Struggling to contain myself)
Gilda: "Remind me to punch that Snape guy in the face, if we ever meet him..."
Gabby: "Uh, Gilda. I don't think that's such a good idea."
Gilda: "Oh c'mon, birdbrain! That guy's a jerk! He made a fool out of a kid! I'd like to give him a kick in the pants to knock some senses into that greasy black mop of his!"
Gabby: "Yeah, but you're never gonna solve anything with just violence..."
Starlight Glimmer: "What is that kid up to?"
Back in Discord's theater, the audience all jumped out of their seats at the sudden explosion, courtesy of Seamus.
Starlight Glimmer: "Whoa, that certainly went off with a bang."
---Discord's Cut---
Back in the Great Hall, Sunset Shimmer (who's been hiding in plain sight from Twilight and the others) fell out of her seat at the explosion.
Sunset Shimmer: "WHOA!" (Ray went flying in the air, before he landed on Sunset's nose)
Wallflower Blush turned around and looked with shock, while the rest of the Slytherin students all laughed at Seamus for goofing up.
Back on the Ravenclaw table, Juniper Montage and Cho Chang both exchanged looks of bewilderment, before Juniper whistles innocently.
Juniper Montage: "Uh...uh...that wasn't me. I swear." (She smiled nervously)
As for Discord and Peeves, they were both laughing out loud.
Discord and Peeves: "AAAAH HA HA HA HAH HA HA HA HA HA....WAH WAAAAAAAH!! HA HA ha ha ha..." (Discord looks over and sees the other teaches looking at him and Peeves with weird looks) "Oh come on. Don't you get it? That's funny!" (Peeves blew a raspberry at the teachers)
---Discord's Cut---
Discord: (With a slingshot in his eagle claw) "To-MAT-toe! They're called TO-MAT-TOE! That's 50 points for mispronouncing a word wrong, Miss Rainbow Crash!" (Turns to Peeves) "If I had a galleon for each one."
---Discord's Cut---
Sunset Shimmer: "What the hay?" (Looks up and sees Derpy flying out of control)
Wallflower Blush: "Is that a pigeon?"
Juniper Montage: "Looks like an airplane..."
Discord: "NO! It's DERPY HOOVES!!!" (Turns to Peeves) "She takes the sky like an ostrich."
Peeves: "Ooh, this must be loads of fun, will it?" (Chortles gleefully, while Discord conjures up a bucket of popcorn for him and Peeves to enjoy)
---Discord's Cut---
Sunset Shimmer: "YIPE!!!" (Shields herself and Ray with the sleeve of her robe. Unfortunately, a plate of spaghetti hits her on the face, and gives her the appearance of a hat, messy hair, and a mustache. Once again, Twilight and friends didn't even recognize her.)
Doctor Hooves: "Great wickering STALLIONS! How did you she get into the movie?"
Gabby: "Aw, no fair! Why does she get to go? I want to go to Hogwarts!" (Crosses her arms and pouts in her seat)
Me: "What a twist!" (Whispering to myself) "And I thought I did a good job pulling a fast one on both Mr. E and Drama."
Rain Shine: "Hmmm? What was that?"
Me: "Oh! Uh, nothing. Just...Cinematic business talk. That's all."
Gilda: "You call that a landing?"
Sky Beak and Terramar: "Uh..." (Turned their attentions to Ocean Flow, who simply smiled and shrugged in response.)
Ember smirks and turns to Garble, who simply shrugs in response.
---Discord's Cut---
Sunset Shimmer: "Uh, ahem. Kid?" (Gestures to her robe, then back to the boy, who sees that he was missing his robe)
Fancy Pants: "Diabolical! Who would do such a dastardly thing?"
Gilda: "Don't look at me..."
Garble: "Or me..."
Tempest Shadow: "What they said. Besides, how can we? We've been sitting here the whole time!"
---Discord's Cut---
Sunset Shimmer, still cleaning herself up, got in close to listen in on what's going on.
---Discord's Cut---
While this was going on, Professor Quirrel was on his way out of the hall, when he happened to run into Sunset Shimmer.
Sunset Shimmer: "Oof!"
Professor Quirrel: "Oh, excuse me. P-P-Pardon me. I wasn't l-l-looking where I was going."
Sunset Shimmer: "No, excuse me, sir."
"ACHOO!"
Sunset Shimmer: "Bless you."
Professor Quirrel: "Uh...th-thank you."
"ACHOO!"
Sunset Shimmer was taken aback, since Professor Quirrel wasn't even sneezing. Then, Discord appeared in a flash of light, still in his Hufflepuff disguise.
Discord: "Excuse me, my good man. But did your turban just sneezed? I could've sworn I heard a sneeze in your direction, but your mouth wasn't even moving."
Professor Quirrel: "Oh. Th-Tha-That...that was simply...I-I need to go use the restroom to...uh...gotta go!"
"ACHOO!!"
Back in the theater
Trixie: "He's quite the talkative type, isn't he?"
---Discord's Cut---
The entire class consisted of first year students. However, there were two exceptions, in the class. Being "second years" students, it seemed rather off for the two Equestria Girls – Sunset and Wallflower – to be participating in the class. Thankfully, their professor and personal tutor, Discord, had put in a good word, or two, to Madam Hooch, allowing them to supervise their "lower years" schoolmates.
Scootaloo: "That is so AWESOME!!!"
---Discord's Cut---
Discord: (Sitting on a bench, with a pair of binoculars, with Peeves) "Poor girl. She just wants to be noticed..."
Gilda: "I'm sorry. But do my ears deceive me? Or am I hearing 'brooms' and 'awesome' in the same sentence? And from Rainbow Dash?"
Gabby: "What's wrong about it, Gilda?"
Gilda: "What's wrong? What's wrong is that...they're brooms! You don't fly with a broom. You sweep the floor with it, you rake up leaves, and for all I know, namby-pamby ponies would use it, whenever they get fussy about an untidy room!"
Trixie: "HEY! Watch who you're calling 'namby-pamby', griffin!" (Growls as she and Gilda get into each other's face)
Gabby: "That is amazing!" (Looks with starry eyed)
Starlight Glimmer: "Fascinating!"
Moon Dancer: "I'll say!" (Scribbles down notes) "Though, personally, I prefer carpets, if that's okay..."
Trixie: (To Gilda) "Think broomsticks are lame now?" (Gilda huffs and looks away)
---Discord's Cut---
Sunset Shimmer and Wallflower Blush both looked across from each other, and decided to give it a go. Especially since they have an image to maintain.
Sunset Shimmer: "Up!" (Her broom flies right into her hand)
Wallflower Blush: "Up!" (Her broom slowly climbs its way up in the air) "Up! Up!"
Random Slytherin student: "For a second-year, she's got the mentality and the experience of a first-year..."
Me: "Ooh! Right in the schnoz!"
---Discord's Cut---
Peeves: "HA! Got your conk!" (Laughs out loud with Discord)
Gilda: "Uh..." (Sweats nervously) "You know what, I take back what I said about brooms. Brooms all the way. Hehehe..."
---Discord's Cut---
The mischevious, self-appointed professor of Hogwarts, and master of chaos, was enjoying the show with his poltergeist buddy.
Discord: "This is really good!"
Peeves: "Oooh, getting a wee bit red in the tushy, is he?"
Discord: "No BUTTS about it!" (Resumes laughing with Peeves)
French Narrator: "One humiliating spanking later..."
Scootaloo: "What's going on with Neville?"
---Discord's Cut---
Seeing the whole thing happening, Discord snapped his fingers and puts on a sports announcer's attires, complete with a microphone and hat, and quickly speaks.
Discord: "And there's the kick off! Longbottom has taken to the sky like an eagle! I tell ya Peeves, this kid's got–Wait, what's this? Rainbow Dash appears to be chasing him! Amazing! She ain't holding back! That Wonderbolt pegasus's got speed! She's hot on his tail. Uh oh, they're gonna crash into those walls! Oh! Wow! Ow! That's gonna leave a mark. But the kid's still hanging on for a wild ride of his life! And he's diving down, and still Rainbow is behind him. But what's this? They're flying back into the group! Madam Hooch's got a wand out, and–OH! What a crash by Rainbow Dash! They don't call her Rainbow Crash for nothing. Madam Hooch's definitely gonna feel that in the morning. Thankfully, the students are all okay. Too bad I can't say the same for their classmate who's COME OFF HIS BROOM!! The broom has sailed away and gone riding off into the sunset! And by sunset, I don't mean the Gryffindor Equestria Girl I had handpicked. But to Longbottom, I can't say he's hanging off a cliff, but the suspense has got me hanging! Oh no! The robe! It's ripping! Longbottom has fallen! But he's hanging off a torch, and–OW! That's gotta hurt for the poor boy. What do you think, Peeves?"
Peeves: "I think the poor wee firstie has gone and given himself a big boo-boo. Right on the wrist, he did."
Discord: "My friend, I couldn't agree more."
Erik: "I despise that boy."
Sweetie Belle: "You took the words right out of my mouth, Erik..."
Diamond Tiara: "Was I ever that nasty?" (Turns to Silver Spoon who simply shrugged in response)
Gilda: "Oh, them's fightin' words!"
---Discord's Cut---
Peeves: "Ooh! I spy with me little eyesies! Wee Malfoy has challenged wee Potty and friends to a challenge!"
Discord: (Clears his throat) "Ladies and gentleman! We are back to the second round of the Quidditch Bowl! And it looks like it's Harry Potter against Draco Malfoy. Gryffindor vs. Slytherin! How original..."
Trixie: "What a buzzkill."
Starlight Glimmer: "Either way, go get 'em, Harry!"
Discord: "Harry Potter made the first strike! He's lunged forward, and Malfoy did a 360º! How's he doing that?"
Peeves: "Take a closer look, Discord! Because little Smolder's got the ball I see!"
Discord: "Little Malfoy's not too happy about that. He's giving chase. But here comes Yona! OH! What a crash!"
---From the theater---
The Yaks: "YAK'S BEST! YAK'S BEST!" (Jumping and stomping around the theater excitedly)
Me: "Yaks! Calm down! Don't get too excited!"
A cake went flying up into the air and nearly splattered Tempest Shadow. Thankfully, I gave her an umbrella in time, shielding her from the cake and any other flying foods that would come her way.
Tempest Shadow: "Thank you..."
Me: "You're welcome, Mary Poppins." (Snickers)
---Discord's Cut---
Discord: "Malfoy is not looking happy! He's giving chase! Smolder's made the pass to Silver!"
Peeves: "And now they're playing a good round of keeps-away! Oh yes, now wee Malfoy is beyond mad!"
Discord: "And now Silver's making a pass to Ocellus. She's–What's this?! Malfoy has used a summoning charm?! How's that possible? Only fourth years are taught that charm! It seems this kid's only got the best educations that money could buy, knowing Lucious..."
Peeves: "And now Malfoy's got the ball, and threw it away! It's going, it's going..."
Discord: "It's not gone yet! Harry has gone and chased after the Remembrall! It's going to that window...It's gonna smash into Professor McGonagall's office! She's not gonna–OH! What a save, by Harry Potter! He's got the ball! Unfortunately..."
Peeves: "Hmph! McGonagall's window didn't get smashed..." (Pouts)
Discord: "Oh don't count your chickens before they hatch yet, Peeves!"
Gabby: "Uh oh..."
Ember: "They've been snitched!"
Me: "Uh...I don't think that's the case, Dragon Lord."
---Discord's Cut---
Peeves: "Ooh, looks like your little ladies have gone and snitched Harry Wee Potty and friends to Professor McGonagall."
Discord: "Eh, snitches get stitches. Or in this case, the golden snitch, I should say. But either way, this wraps up the Quidditch Bowl, with me, your Hufflepuff, chaotic host, Discord!"
Peeves: "And me, Peeves, the poltergeist!"
Discord: "Now then, Peeves, my old friend. Why don't you run along and torment old miserable Filch and say hello to his kitty cat, Mrs. Norris, for me. I'd like to have a word with my two girls."
Peeves: (Saluted to Discord) "With pleasure." (The two did a secret handshake, before they went their separate ways)
---Back in the theater---
Starswirl the Bearded: "What's that crazy draconequus up to now?"
---Discord's Cut---
Sunset Shimmer and Wallflower Blush were taking their leave, when Discord appeared in front of them. Hermione Granger turned and noticed the draconequus.
Discord: "You three. Come with me."
The three girls complied, as Discord takes them along, disappearing in a flash of light.
---Discord's Cut---
A flash of light went off around a corner, and Discord reappeared with the three girls, as they overhear what they're about to hear.
“Potter, Smolder, this is Oliver Wood,” McGonagall introduced. “Wood, I have found you a Seeker!”
“A Seeker?” Smolder questioned. “Um… wow… that’s… great! But what about me?”
“Well Smolder, I saw all the commotion along the grounds. I was on my way when I was informed by some students that one of them possessed remarkable talent on their part and should look into it.”
---Discord's Cut---
Discord turns to Sunset and Wallflower, bouncing his eyebrows on their part.
---Discord's Cut---
Hermione Granger: "Oh, thank goodness. Harry's not in too much trouble..."
Sunset Shimmer: "Ditto." (Turns to Discord) "So is this what you brought us here for?"
Discord: "Well, more or less. I just thought you should see and hear for yourself the big news first, before I showed you something even more mind blowing." (Snaps his fingers and takes the girls to a trophy case of past Quidditch players at Hogwarts) "Take a look at that. Seen anything familiar?"
The girls looked in and were shocked.
Hermione Granger: "Holy cricket! Harry's father was a Quidditch Seeker too?!"
Discord: "Yes indeedy! Oh, the young boy who lived is already making his old man proud."
Sunset Shimmer: "Wow, that's awesome...I can see why it's such a big deal for McGonagall, then."
Wallflower Blush: "Yeah, no pressure or anything. He's carrying on his father's legacy."
Discord: "Well, what can I say? Like father, like son."
Hermione Granger: "This is amazing! I've got to find Harry and let him know about it!"
Discord: "Yes, yes. You do that. Now off you go." (He ushered Hermione Granger to take her leave, and stopped Sunset and Wallflower Blush) "As for you two, I have a special opportunity of an extracurricular activity for the both of you."
Sunset Shimmer looked skeptical.
Sunset Shimmer: "And do I dare ask, what?"
Discord: (Grins deviously) "How would you girls like to represent your house's Quidditch team as cheerleaders?"
There was an awkward silence, as Sunset Shimmer and Wallflower Blush blinked their eyes in confusion.
Sunset Shimmer: "Say what?"
Discord: "Cheerleaders! Why, you've got the looks and everything! I think I'll personally put in a good word for ol'Sevvy and Minnie to sign you two up as cheerleaders for your teams!"
Sunset Shimmer: "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute there, Discord!" (Shakes her head) "Being dragged all the way from the other world, just to look after Hermione and Harry are one thing. But there's no way I'm gonna be made into a cheerleader for Gryffindor's Quidditch team...whatever that is, or whatever."
Wallflower Blush: "Uh, what she said."
Discord: "Oh c'mon, it's all for a good cause for your teams. Besides, in case you didn't know, back in Twilight's School of Friendship, Smolder is a big part of a cheer squad, alongside Ocellus, Yona, and two other lovely mares. And with Smolder playing as Gryffindor's chaser, someone's gotta step in and fill her in. And that someone is you."
Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) "But why me? Why not another Gryffindor girl? Why not Hermione? Besides, I'm not even a real Ho–" (Silenced by Discord)
Discord: "Because I said so! And because if you don't, I'll dock 120 points from Gryffindor and blame it on you." (Smug grin) "But threats aside, you're a natural leader, Sunset. Those girls need a strong leader to lead them in cheerleading. And I can't think of anyone better than you."
Sunset Shimmer: "Uhhhh...." (Sighs) "Do I even have a choice? Alright. I'll do it. Just as long as I don't look silly, or something..."
Discord: "Oh! Perish the thought..." (Smiles trollishly)
Wallflower Blush: "And what about me? Why me? I'm not exactly an idol student for Slytherin..."
Discord: (Deadpan) "Seriously, you're asking me? Aren't you always complaining how you want to stand out and be noticed, rather than being 'invisible?' And don't act like you don't enjoy the attentions of all the students ogling at you. That's riiiight. We've seen what you do in public." (Grins evilly, while Wallflower Blush...well, blushes a shade of red, and sweats nervously, as if Discord's onto something that she knew)
---Back in the theater---
Gilda: "Uh...what? Wha-What? I'm lost. What did she do in public?"
10668438
Ooh!
Also, Discord, come on, don't force the poor girls, besides, Quidditch doesn't have cheerleaders. Sunset or Wallflower would probably make good co-commentators with Lee Jordan though...
10668438
Now that's how you start a morning. Brilliantly job as always.
10668460
Not in the original theatrical release. But the 'Cinematic Adventures' rendition, on the other hand...
Besides, it gives the fans more opportunities for fan art of the girls in cheerleader outfits.
10668438
Great as always
10668460
I know that. I just thought I could spice things up a little, with a callback to the episode 2, 4, 6, Greaaat.
10668721
You're doing just fine, Ph.D. We can make this part work. I think it be rather entertaining.
10668689
True
10668721
Sorry...
10668723
10668728
And let me stress. This is in no way interfering with the main story. Just an exclusive entertainment for the readers and the audience who are all watching from Discord's theater.
10668743
I know, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you get defensive, it was a joke...
Ah, seamus' spell blowing up in his face. Love it.
Even twilight and the remembrall is also hilarious. Even the part where the brooms knocked Ron in the nose and smacked Gallus in the rear. That was genius.
You are a mad genius for combining the story.
Also, do you think they'll notice sunset shimmer and the others there.
