Lou Lightning and the Year of Remembrance
Lou always was called Lou Lightning; this was because of her marvellous broomstick skills. She could make her broomstick go as fast as wind and she'd played keeper on the local team for as long as she could remember; yet she still wasn't sure if she could make it on one of the Hogwarts' teams. She was starting there in two weeks and she was very excited. She had packed her bags already. Lou had her last ever quidditch game with her local team today and she couldn't help thinking that if she didn't make the Hogwarts team this would be her last ever game of the year.
Lou's family were poor, she could only afford second hand robes and she did not own a pet. She had always wanted an owl but she knew that money was in a bad situation so did not mention this. She pretended she didn't care and was quite happy to go to Hogwarts alone. "Lou, Lou, time for quidditch", her mum called. Lou ran down the stairs realising she was meant to have been there 5 minutes ago. She grabbed her broom and shouted "bye!" to her mum as she rushed out the door.
"Lou, I'm glad you are here," said Coach Willabi as Lou ran up to him panting. "Sadly the game has been cancelled but because it is your last time here we have got a surprise for you". With that Chaz (another member of the team) passed her a beautiful and graceful owl. " Her name is Keep Remembrance," he said. Lou felt like jumping up and down with excitement. "Thank you so much" she said smiling, " but why did you name her Keep Remembrance". The coach told her that Keep represented her playing keeper in the team and Remembrance is to represent this year as the year of remembrance. "My mum is a muggle and my dad left home so I have never been told what that is", Lou said. The whole team looked at her in amazement. Coach took her into a corner and explained, "exactly 10 years ago a boy named Harry Potter defeated the dark lord, Voldemort. The witches and wizards decided to make one year in every 10 years a year of remembrance!"
