Summary: Seekers duel in practice.
Harry was almost dreading Quidditch practice the following day. He hadn't slept well the night before, having been forced to share a hotel room with Malfoy. Harry wouldn't put it past the conniving cunt to employ Slytherin tactics once more, all in an effort to throw Harry off and steal the position of Seeker from him.
When the team assembled on the Pitch, Harry stood as far from Malfoy as possible while listening to instructions from Coach Wenstrom. Once the team took to the air, not even thoughts of Malfoy could ruin Harry's love of flying. Everyone flew laps around the Pitch in perfect formation. Eventually, they drifted apart to work on individual skills. The Chasers, along with the Beaters, lobbed Quaffles at the hoops so the Keepers could practice denying the scoring opportunities.
Coach Wenstrom released half a dozen practice Snitches, and Harry and Malfoy chased after them. They went in different directions, which allowed Harry to concentrate on the task at hand, rather than becoming distracted by his distracting teammate. Harry succeeded in catching three Snitches, and he pulled up on his broom in hopes of sighting another one.
Far above the Pitch, Harry spied a glint of gold. Malfoy was already in pursuit, so Harry turned his attention elsewhere. Unfortunately, he didn't spy another Snitch. It was possible that Malfoy was chasing the last one. Harry joined him, intent on collecting four Snitches to Malfoy's two. That would prove to Wenstrom that he was the superior Seeker.
Harry and Malfoy came at the Snitch from opposite directions. They each wore an expression of grim determination. They reached for it at the same time, but the Snitch eluded their grasping hands and zipped off on a tangent. Harry and Malfoy gave chase.
They flew shoulder to shoulder, reminding Harry of duels during their Hogwarts days. He jostled Malfoy's broom, causing him to lose ground.
"Arsehole!" Malfoy shouted. He put on a burst of speed and drew abreast of Harry once more. He turned his head and smirked at Harry. "My cock is ten inches long!" he called out.
Harry's broom wobbled. "What?!"
Malfoy snatched the Snitch from the air with a triumphant grin.
