Angelina Johnson sat in a big red armchair in the Gryffendor common room, fuming over Harry's detention.
"Honestly!" She exclaimed, "It's as if he's trying to get detention! How are we going to practice if our seeker can't be there?" Fred, George, Ginny, and Katie were all listening to the third breakdown this week.
"I can fill in." Ginny said suddenly. All of them but Angelina nodded slowly.
"Yeah," George said, "yeah Ginny's a pretty good seeker.
"Alright, fine." Angeling said, exasperated. At least they could practice now. Being a captain was so much harder than Angelina had expected. Wood had told her it would be fun, and that was common knowledge. Only McGonigall had told her it would be difficult to balance being a captain and keeping up her grades. Grades weren't even a poblem now, and still her entire world was up in flames! Angelina let out a sigh and collapsed back onto the couch. Everyone else seemed to relax with her.
Fred and George went back to working on some weird product at a table, Ginny went back to studying for her History of Magic test, and Katie sat next to Angelina.
"Am I too uptight of a captain?" Angelina asked.
Katie thought for a moment, taking Angelina seriously. Finally, she had something to say.
"Well yeah. Sometimes. But that can be a good thing! I mean, there is such a thing as been too loose about things. If you weren't as... uptight, as you are, we might not get any better. Know what I mean?"
Angelina nodded. Seriously considering Katie's words.
"However," Katie started up again, "sometimes you could try... loosening up a little bit." She smiled and nudged Angelina playfully. Angelina smiled and was very calm and relaxed for the rest of the day.
At dinner, other thoughts began to hit her. All week she had been concentrating out quiditch. She hadn't even thought about the fact that Fred hadn't asked her on a date. She began to have some doubts about him having feelings for her at all. Those doubts disturbed her.
