Chapter one: Be that way

"Ron, eat your breakfast. You can't fly on an empty stomach."

"I should call you a hypocrite, but I'm too nice."

Harry Potter, 16-year-old captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, tried to get his best friend, Ron Weasley, Beater, to eat. His utensils, however, remained clean. It was June. Gryffindor, in second place for the Quidditch cup, was playing Hufflepuff for it. If they won, it would be their third win in a row, if you didn't could the year that nobody played. This was Harry's second year as Captain. Gryffindor's team had nearly completely changed. Only Harry and Katie Bell remained from the old team. Katie, Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister, and a third year named Penny Marvin were Chasers, Alicia Spinnet and Angelina Johnson having graduated. Ron and Seamus Finnigan were Beaters. Fred and George Weasley, Ron's twin brothers and previous Beaters had opened up their joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Harry was still Seeker, and Jacob Edwards, a fourth year, was Keeper.

"Too nice? Since when have you been too nice?" demanded Harry teasingly.

Their friend Hermione Granger came over. "Since Malfoy kissed Lavender."

The boys snorted. But something about her tone made Ron ask,

"When was that?"

Hermione had a pained expression. "Two nights ago."

They dropped their pumpkin juice. Harry looked over at the Slytherin table and saw Draco Malfoy glancing over and the Gryffindor table and winking at Lavender Brown.

"Vachement," muttered Ron. "Something new to worry about. Wonder what she sees in him?"

Hermione chuckled grimly. "Probably foresaw it ..."

Harry glanced at his watch. No time to worry about it. "Quidditch time, c'mon, Ron, Ginny, team; let's go." They marched on to the field.
