One huge event at Hogwarts was the Quidditch matches against the houses. When the sport was first announced at during their first year, Aimy, Sirius and James were highly disappointed that they were not allowed to partake in the game. First years weren't even allowed a broom and it just made the three irritable. So they cheered for their respective teams with as much enthusiasm as possible.

Matches against Slytherin and Gryffindor were always harsh days among the friends. Aimy had house pride and supported Slytherin one-hundred percent when it was against Gryffindor. Sirius and James only supported Gryffindor.

There was an unspoken understanding that Slytherin and Gryffindor had a grand feud. They were at the topic of the school food chain constantly competing against each other. This only affected AImy and her friends when it came to Quidditch and earning house points.

Though the thing about Aimy's support in Quidditch that baffled almost everyone, was that when Slytherin wasn't on the field she fully supported Gryffindor. She was loyal to her friends enough to do that. They never supported her team but she supported theirs. Most students supported other house teams in private but not Aimy. She made sure to display her pride.

Whenever she was confronted about it by and upper classmen she would simply shrug and say. "Would you rather see Slytherin against Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff in the finals? I think everyone agrees that Gryffindor is best for us, and besides my friends are Gryffindors and I will support them."

Things however were a bit different when it came to professional Quidditch.

James Potter felt like he hit the jackpot with his two best friends. Both Aimy and Sirius shared his love for Quidditch even if they weren't nearly as enthusiastic about the sport. James lived and breathed the game and when he discovered that his friends loved it too, it became a great topic, and an awful one.

When it came to Quidditch the three of them had their respective teams. James was a fan of Puddlemere United, Sirius liked the Chudley Cannons, and Aimy who was a bit of a feminist was a huge fan of the Holyhead Harpies. In the long run though james was a huge Irish supporter while Sirius and Aimy loved Bulgaria. They thought Ireland was a bit soft and adored the Bulgarians.

Yet there was that well known respect for the teams that their friends liked. You don't bag on them unless the team is against your own for a match. So when ever the Daily Prophet arrived the three of them read the sports section and kept up to date. Even made bets on games.

What the boys quickly found out was that they should never bet against Aimy. Whenever Aimy made a bet she always won it. She would always side with the right person and rake in the reward. Sirius learned quickly not to bet against Aimy, but to ask her who to bet for. Of course she wouldn't tell him for free, but the cost for the information was a great amount less than what he would lose if he was wrong.

James however wasn't the sharpest and nearly always betted against her, hoping and praying that he would prove her wrong. It seemed to be his new sport to prove the Great Aimy Craven wrong in a bet. Yet, every time he lost.

James was constantly baffled by this and asked her how she did it. She would always joke and imitate the Divination Professor McDane and say that her sixth sense and inner eye told her. No one believed this though because seeing the future was a rare and almost nonexistent talent. Though they did wonder a few times.

Aimy always knew what bet to partake in and which ones to forgo. Sirius and James lost a lot of their allowance to the young girl, who more often than not spent her winnings on Severus. She knew how his family life wasn't the greatest and that he never really got anything new.

Severus had quickly become like a brother to her, and Aimy felt it was only right that she got the best for him when she could afford it. Also, Severus was her only true friend in Slytherin. The rest of them were too obsessed with blood status and the dark arts. Of course Aimy found the dark arts interesting, all magic to her was, but blood status meant nothing to her. If you had magic then you deserved to use magic. A witch or wizard was only as strong as their mind.
