Chapter 1: Andrew Kirke
"Kirke!" Angelina Johnson called out across the corridor. Andrew turned around and glared at her. He was still annoyed at her for not getting a spot on the Quidditch team.
"What do you want?" he asked when Angelina finally caught up to him.
"You're on the team," she said, sincerely, but obviously not happy.
"What? You gave beater to Fred and George Weasley," he responded, confused.
"They've just been given a life-long ban by Umbridge," Angelina said, sounding disappointed and slightly angry.
"You're joking."
"No, I'm not. Tell Sloper he's on with you as well." Andrew gave a whoop, earning him a few looks from the students passing them in the halls. He rushed off to look for Jack Sloper. Angelina sighed.
"I hate Umbridge," she muttered, and continued on to her class.

"WHAT?" Ron Wealsey yelled. The other Gryffindors in the common room glared at Ron briefly and turned back to what they were doing, used to the Golden Trio's frequent outbursts.
"Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper have taken over Fred and George's positions on the team," Harry said.
"But they're dismal!" Ron said, throwing himself on the couch in front of the hearth.
"I know it. Angelina did say they were second best at try-outs, so…," Harry said, obviously not happy either.
"Do Fred and George know?" Ron asked, looking up at Harry.
"Yeah. They were the ones who told me," Harry said. Ron sighed and buried his face in his hands. "at least we know the seeker is good," he said, meaning Ginny.
"I hate Umbridge," he muttered.

The match against Hufflepuff was not going well.
Ten minutes in to the game and Kirke had already let the bludgers hit Ginny twice and was about to let them hit her again. He managed to hit one of them away from her but nearly fell off his broom. Ginny zoomed off, annoyed at the two beaters who were failing at their job miserably.
"Hey Kirke!" someone yelled. Kirke whipped around and searched the stands for whoever had yelled his name.
"I'm cheering for you! You must really hate those filthy Weasleys!" Draco Malfoy yelled out. Kirke stared down at him in disgust, and turned his attention back to the game just in time to see Ginny get hit by the bludger yet again.
"Kirke! Get over here and do your job!" Ginny yelled, before zooming off after the snitch. Kirke sighed and began flying toward the bludger.
Not long after, Ginny caught the snitch and Gryffindor lost the game by ten points.

Well, what do you think?
