That evening, Harry sat with the rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and watched the candidates that had appeared to try-out for keeper. Even though he knew Ron was likely the best choice, he still sat with his fingers crossed in the stands, his gut clenching anxiously every time another would-be-keeper did well and praying that Ron could emulate the potential he’d demonstrated throughout the week with Harry. The other houses were holding their own try-outs for their vacant positions around the pitch as well, and he watched with a kind of sad interest as Hufflepuff tried to find someone to replace Cedric as seeker.
