Okay but why couldnāt they still have played Quidditch during Goblet of Fire?
I understand that the champions probably wouldnāt want to deal with that while also competing in the tournament but itās not really fair to everyone else to just cancel Quidditch for the full year.
What about the 7th years who wanted one last shot at winning the Quidditch Cup?
What about the 2nd years who were excited because they could FINALLY try out for the team?
But more so the 7th years, I mean no one even told them ābtw we probs arenāt gonna have Quidditch next year so make this year countā like thatās actually really shitty.
And I understand that they needed the Quidditch field for the third task but thereās only like 5 games a year, you couldāve done them a little earlier and still had time to use this thing you teach called magic to grow the damn maze!
OR EVEN BETTER, instead of having the House Quidditch tournament, have the schools play against each other. I mean 3of the 4 champions are kick ass Seekers so why not?
OR BETTER YET have each of the champions form a team using anyone they want
Harry just asks the Gryffindor team to play with him and they use Ron to replace Oliver like in OOTP and at first heās really nervous but then he gets his nerves on track because thereās NO WAY heās losing to Krum after he took Hermione to the Yule Ball.
Cedric decides to try to get the best he can from all of the Houses, though the majority of his team is still Hufflepuff because he knows how they play and likes how they work together. He does find a Beauxbatons boy that makes a great Chaser though.
Karkaroff insists that Viktor only use the boys from Durmstrang (because heās probably a misogynistic little shit) and he doesnāt really care because heās the best Seeker in the world. Even if he just lost the Quidditch World Cup to Ireland, itās IMPOSSIBLE that he wouldnāt be able to catch the Snitch before the other team got too far ahead.
And then thereās Fleur, who has never played Quidditch before but suddenly thereās a 13 year old red-haired Hogwarts girl asking her if she can be on her team because āIāve been practicing with my brothersā brooms for years and Iām actually quite good but I wonāt be able to make the Gryffindor team for a few yearsā and Fleur agrees as long as Ginny helps her find some other teammates and gives Fleur flying lessons. Ginny accepts the offer and, in Holyhead Harpies fashion, sets out to put together an all female team because females are very unrepresented on the other teams. Ginny and Fleur ask two Bulgarian girls to be a Beater and Chaser. One of Fleurās Beauxbatons friends is the other Beater, and Ginny asks a fifth year from the Hufflepuff team (who Cedric didnāt choose) to be the third Chaser, as well as Cho to be their Seeker. She insists that Fleur be the Keeper so that she doesnāt have to worry as much about not being steady on a broom.
Instead of all of the teams playing each other, they do it tournament style. Harry and Cedricās teams go first. Ron is a nervous new Keeper and letās quite a few balls in before he makes his first save and suddenly heās on a roll. Cedricās team has gained a substantial lead by now, but Harry spots the Snitch and just barely grabs it before Cedric (Fred and George are pleased since theyāre still not over the Hufflepuff victory the year before when Harry was attacked by the dementors).
Fleur and Viktorās teams play next. The girls have 3 superb Chasers that are scoring constantly. Every time Viktorās Chasers make it to Fleurās end of the pitch, they get distracted by her flowing silver hair and tend to miss without her having to do too much (which is good cause even though sheās better sheās still not QUITE comfortable on a broom). Viktor frantically searches for the Snitch because if he can get it soon theyāll still be able to pull ahead but then the Beauxbatons Beater hits a Bludger right at him and in the moment it took him to dodge it, Cho had spotted the Snitch and already had her hand stretched out to grab it. Before he could even reach her elbow she had the tiny ball held tight in her fist.
The losers of the first round face off for 3rd and 4th place. Viktor, with a sore ego about getting beaten to the Snitch in the last game, catches it within 20 minutes. Cedric laughs the whole thing off and gives Viktor his congratulations, but he now has a harder drive to win the Triwizard Tournament.
Everyone is anxious for the Potter/Delacour game. Fleur knows that Angelina, Katie, and Alicia wonāt be effected by her the way the Durmstrang boys were, so she trains even harder to keep up with the rest of her team. The game is underway and itās neck and neck. Both teams have three excellent Chasers, causing the Quaffle to change sides constantly. Ron and Fleur are both highly nervous, but still manage to block most goals. Fred and George know that Ginny is the other teamās best Chaser, but canāt find it in themselves to try and knock their 13 year old sister off her broom. The Durmstrang Beater doesnāt have any such obligations, and aims a Bludger at Alicia as sheās speeding down the pitch towards Fleur. It hits her in the ribs and she is escorted down to Madame Pomfrey. Now that Fleurās team has the upper hand, they start pulling ahead. Harry and Cho are playing rough searching for the Snitch, trying to psyche the other out by flying in their path. Harry notices Cho following him and decides to dive as though heās seen the Snitch somewhere near the bottom of the field. Heās surprised when he doesnāt see her dive after him and looks up just in time to see her catch the Snitch 50 yards away. Everyone heads back towards the ground, the girls have a group hug because never in a million years did they think they were ACTUALLY going to win! Harry breaks through to shake Fleurās hand and tells her āgood gameā. Fred and George are staring in astonishment at their little sister because āWhat the hell, Gin? Where did you learn to fly like that?ā while Angelina is nearby cursing the fact that they canāt have 4 Chasers on the Gryffindor team.
In the end, Dumbledore allows the teams to throw a party in the Great Hall. Some Hufflepuffs make flower crowns for Fleurās team to wear as the winners. A hush falls over the Hall when the doors open and McGonagall comes in. They expect her to yell at them for being too loud, but instead she walks over to Fleur and hands her the Quidditch Cup because she āwon it fair and squareā but explicitly states that if she does not return it to her by the end of the year āI will go to France and take it from you myselfā. The Hall bursts into laughter and applause.
