"Hello! Welcome to Hogwart's first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game: Slytherin vs. Gryffindor! The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps onto the field to begin the game!" Lee Jordan announced. The Weasely twins' best friend, he was the commentary. Aly rose into the air, and the Gryffindors cheered, and Aly flushed.

"Now I want a nice clean game. From all of you," she said looking at the Slytherin captain, who was smirking. She put her whistle in her mouth, and threw the Quaffle into the air. Immediately, the Chasers ran for the ball. Aly bent over on her broomstick.

"Let's go," she muttered, and sped away.

"The Bludgers are up. Followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember the Snitch is worth 150 points. The Seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game. The Quaffle is released and the game begins!" Lee said. Aly chased after a Slytherin Chaser who was headed for her goal. Michael and Aly sandwiched the Chaser, and grabbed the Quaffle. They headed the other way. A few Bludgers came Aly's way, but she dodged them. A Chaser headed towards her at mach speed. She quickly tossed the Quaffle to Katie who was at her side. Aly collided with the Chaser, and you could hear the sickening thud. Aly felt as if her head was spinning. The Gryffindors were booing the Slytherin chaser. Aly regained herself and sped away.

"The Gryffindor Chasers have made great progress so far," Lee announced. "It's Aly Trevelyan with the Quaffle, tossing the Quaffle between her teammates! Alyson Trevelyan is a new addition to the team, 11 years old. Goodness, she's a pretty one! Just like Angelina Johnson! You hear that, Ange?" Jordan said.

"Lee!" McGonagall exclaimed from the stands. Aly felt herself flush.

"Sorry, Professor." Aly was speeding to the goal, after tossing it to Michael. She was in front of the goal, waving her hands frantically. Pass me-the-ball! Michael threw it halfway across the stadium, and Aly caught it. She faked, and it soared through the goal.

"Alyson Trevelyan scores! Ten points for Gryffindor!" Lee yelled. The Gryffindors screamed happily, while the Slytherins groaned. Aly smiled and raced towards the other side. Katie grinned at her, and Kay gave her thumbs up. Aly nodded briefly, but turned back, prepared for the Slytherins. Aly caught Julie's eye, and they nodded. As they came, The Chasers went into the Seeker's Aide formation. Two Chasers would go for the Quaffle, and one would intervene with the opposite teams' Seeker. That was, unfortunately, Aly. They nodded, and Aly zoomed away.

"Here comes Slytherin with the Quaffle, it's Jackson with the Quaffle…Wait…Harry has spotted the Snitch! He's zooming away and breakneck speed…And Merlin, what is Chaser Alyson Trevelyan doing?" Jordan said with confusion, following Aly. The Gryffindors stood up with confusion, as Aly followed the Chasers around. The Slytherins jeered. As Aly passed the Gryffindors, Hayden shouted.

"Aly! What d'you think you're doing?!" he exclaimed. Aly didn't answer, just whipped past them, pursing the Seekers. She urged her broom faster. Suddenly, she found herself speeding past Perkins of Slytherin, and she swerved into front of him. He stopped momentarily. He moved out of her way, and continued following her. Aly sped after them, with only one thing on her mind. She wasn't listening to Lee, just concentrating. She didn't hear Lee announce that Slytherin scored. She raced in front of Perkins, and stopped. He glared at her and kept coming for her. He crashed into her. Aly fell off her broom, and he watched her fall to the hard ground with satisfaction.

"Foul!" the Gryffindors yelled angrily. McGonagall stood up as well. Aly continued plunging towards the ground. Quickly, she reached into her wand robes and pulled out her wand.

"Accio Nimbus" she yelled, and her broom soared towards her. Everything went in slow motion. It went under her, and she fell on top of it, and the broom continued to fly. The Gryffindors cheered.

"What's wrong with Harry?!" Lee exclaimed a second later. Aly stopped flying and looked around. He had collapsed on the ground and looked like he was in pain. Aly grimaced.

"Harry! Are you-?"

She stopped yelling when she noticed his face, which looked sickly green. Aly winced because he was about to hurl. A few moments later, the crowd erupted into roars.

"Kay! Kay, what happened?!" Aly yelled to him on the other side. He grinned at her.

"Harry coughed up the snitch! We won!" he yelled back. Aly smiled.

"Harry Potter has caught the snitch. That's an extra 150 points! Gryffindor wins!" Jordan yelled. The Gryffindors yelled, and celebrated. The Slytherins groaned.

"Yes!" Aly yelled.


"Aly, you were brilliant!" Katie exclaimed. They were sitting back in the common room after the match. Everyone was celebrating, and they were in front of the fire. Hayden brought some butterbeer.

"I agree," Amanda agreed. She gulped some of her drink.

"At first we all thought you were mad, following those Seekers, rather then working with the Chasers. What'd you do?" Damien asked.

"It's called Seeker's Aide. Two Chasers do their job, and I try to stop the other teams' Seeker to buy Harry more time to get the Snitch," Aly replied, sipping her butterbeer.

"Oh! I thought you just felt like becoming a Seeker yourself," Hayden exclaimed, understanding. Aly shook her head.

"Well, the rest of the year shouldn't be too hard," Hayden said, nudging Aly.

"Yeah, I guess," Aly shrugged.

"That fall was pretty cool, though," Damien added.

"Oh, yeah!" Amanda said. "We thought you were going to crash into the pavement and break your face or something!"

"I'll always keep my wand in my robes," Aly promised.

"How d'you keep learning those spells?" Julie asked sitting next to her. "We probably don't learn stuff like that…"

"Until your third year," Kay finished. They joined the conversation. "You lot won't learn about stuff like that until third year transfiguration," Sam added.

"Well then, how come she knows it all?" Amanda asked. Kay and Sam shrugged.

"Dunno."

"I got a book from Hayden's father. It's the Standard Book of Spells: Deluxe Edition," Aly answered.

"The Standard Book of Spells? I have that, but the most advanced spell I've seen is Alohamora! How do you know all that stuff?" Katie demanded.

"It's Deluxe Edition. It had every spell in the book. I won't have to buy that book for the next six months," Aly said proudly.

"Wow. Where can I get one of them?" Michael asked in awe.

"You can't," Hayden answered. "My dad gave that book especially to Aly."

"Then how come she has one then?" Julie asked.

"Because a friend of his works in the business that makes 'em, and he gave it to my dad. Dad didn't need it though; and he gave it to Aly before we left," Hayden answered. Katie pouted.

"Lucky."
