"Yea, had never been on a broom until my first flying lesson at Hogwarts." Harry told him nodding, "It's one of the Hogwarts rules though. The only exception is if a first year gets on their House Quiddich team." At least that had been due to talent and not his name. He had to laugh before nodding, "Mostly because they are old and have had a lot of riders. Though in some ways you can take more pride in getting them to do what you want since they are more difficult." Harry told him before shrugging. "We've never competed so I wouldn't know." Nor did he really care.
Harry was chuckling and about to respond when he noticed Malfoy and Severus walk in. Seeing the look on Severus's face he looked around and could see some return glares, as well as some glares toward Faustus. Seeing those Harry stood closer to the boy putting a hand on his shoulder and returning the glares. "That was about declaring loyalties." Harry told him softly making a note of the names of people he knew had glared at Faustus to tell Severus later.
He was sure the gossip would spread after this. Malfoy declaring he was with Severus, Severus backing that with the glare. Along with Harry's open support of Faustus. Yes tongues would be wagging this evening.
"Definitely listen to your Dad about staying out of trouble." Harry told him quietly. "Quite a few people have just been angered."
