~Chapter 1~
*A story about Oliver Wood's crush on Katie Bell and the ways he has to show her he likes her without actually telling her so. There's a dance coming up and he wants ask Katie to go with him. But, there is a problem. Marcus Flint, Wood's archenemy, (well in Quidditch), is going to try to persuade her to go with him also. They really don't like each other. Well, opposite house captains usually don't but in this case it's war! So, it's going to be a battle of wits, brains, and sensitivity to see who's the man of Katie's dreams. *
On a beautiful and sunny day at Hogwarts there is a head-to-head Quidditch practice game going on the field. Gryffindor against Slytherin. Nothing big, just a stupid contest to see whose team is better. Marcus Flint, the captain of the Slytherin House Quidditch team almost always tries to show to the other teams that his team is the best because of their 6-year winning streak. For some reason, it always seems to work by getting the attention of the other captains. Especially Oliver Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor House Quidditch team. For some very odd reason, Flint just loves to pick on Wood's team to challenge. That's a pretty good reason why they are enemies…that, and that Flint also has a crush on Katie Bell, one of the Gryffindor team's chasers, which Wood also has a crush on. Anyway, the battle was about to begin. Hermione Granger was refereeing the match. She is the total teacher's pet bookworm of Hogwarts, which everyone probably already knows so I'll shut up about her. Anyway, the lame-o was starting the match. Both teams looking fierce. Then a few moments later she hollered, "Let's play Quidditch!" directly after that she kicked a box full of Quidditch balls and out flew two jet black bludgers, a magenta red quaffle, and last but not least the flying, golden snitch. And they were off. As soon as the quaffle was thrown, Angelina Johnson flew on her broomstick and was the first to grab the quaffle. She was swooping through beaters and chasers getting right in front of the opposite team's keeper, she took the risk, aimed and fired. The quaffle went spinning like crazy right past the keeper, GOAL! Angelina had scored for Gryffindor! Right then, Wood noticed Harry start to chase after the golden snitch. While everyone else was chasing, blocking, or at least flying past the quaffle, Harry and the Slytherin seeker were racing neck-to-neck to grab the snitch, they both had happened to see the snitch at the same time. The snitch was getting very close to the ground and it was going to take brave wits to head straight down from the air to reach a little snitch getting closer and closer near the ground. Both Harry and the other seeker we're getting dangerously close to the ground. All of the sudden the Slytherin seeker chickened out and backed away from chasing the snitch that gave Harry an advantage. The snitch went close to the ground then headed flat still going just as fast. Harry tried to go the same way as the snitch and…just made it! Though the pressure unbalanced him, he tripped off his broom and landed right on top of Hermione and she pushed him right off. "Ugh, s-sorry H-Hermione," Harry said looking like he was sick. Right after that he spit out the golden snitch into his hand and yelled, "Booya!" Then about 2 seconds later the whole Gryffindor team was cheering and hollering. Except for Alicia Spinnet, she was still grossed out by the snitch thing. Harry won the game!
