Aniu was now On the Quidditch team. She was chaser. At the try outs the boys had raced off after her to get to the stands to watch cheering her on as much as possible. It was the best feeling she'd had being at Hogwarts. At the next Hogsmeade weekend they went down to the Three broomsticks for butter beers. The first game wasn't until Halloween then they could use the ball as an excuse for a party if they lost.

Aniu after the full moon was tired and in her usual amounts of pain. There was a deep scar now on her back from falling through a hole in the floor. Nearly took off her right ear and left a nice deep cut in her forearm. Poppy fixed her ear and the cut in her arm was now a scar. But she had forced herself to practice the next day. But today it was a day to relax and read. "Ani! Aniu!" Or be harassed by your best mates. "What?" she stood up from her spot under the tree. "We get to go to the ball this year." They smiled. Aniu smack her own forehead. "What?" She grabbed their heads and smacked them together. "What was that for?" they asked in unison.

"For being dunderheads. Of course we get to go to the ball this year we're fourth years." she smiled. "You know I think age has changed you." Noel piped. "No I think it's the Quidditch thing. All the players get tougher and more confident." Leon told him. Aniu rolled her eyes. She could tell them that she was a werewolf but she couldn't. They would abandon her and call her freak. "So ready for your first game?" "Yup."

Aniu was nervous and they hadn't even started yet. The whistle blew and they were off. The twins had been given the announcer job for this game. "Ravenclaw has the quaffle first. Now Gryffindor's chaser Mark Summer. TEN POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!" The ball found it's way into Aniu's arms and she flew tossing it back to Jessica who scored another ten points for them. Ravenclaw was 30 points.

"The seekers have seen the snitch! The chase is on!" Noel said. "GO TEAMS!" They called together. "Brian Goldman of Ravenclaw has the quaffle. And it's lost to Gryffindor's Aniu Prince. A pass to Jessica Highmark. Ten points to Gryffindor."

"Both teams are now tied. To win a seeker just has to nab the snitch. Wherever that may be." Aniu felt herself smile. "Another save by Kevin Leonard. Gryffindor is out of ten points."

"But it looks like the seekers have found the snitch again. They're neck and neck who will win?" "Ravenclaw TEN POINTS!" "JESSICA IS DOWNED BY A BLUDGER!"

"She'll feel that later. Gavin Calter is taking her place. Prince passes the ball Calter, Calter to Summers. TEN POINTS GRYFFINDOR!"

Ravenclaw scored another 30. Gryffindor scored 50 and were up 20. Make that ten. In the mist of the whole thing Aniu was caught by a bludger sending her to the ground a knocked out cold. "Prince is down."

"LARTEN HENER CATCHES THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS! Sorry Ravenclaw but there's still a party to attend tonight's Halloween Ball. That's the game we're leaving."

"Our friends in the infirmary good night and Happy Halloween." They ran off for the hospital wing. When they got there the two fallen Gryffindor house students were laid in beds sleep. Both still in Quidditch gear. The boys rushed over to Aniu's bed. "Hey Aniu. Wake up. Aniu." They began poking at her face. "Don't do that." The team captain pushed Leon's hand away. In the other bed Jessica was waking up. She was a third year. "Who won?" she asked. "Thank god you're awake. Thought you might have been down for a few days." The captain said.

"Out of my way. Out." Poppy pushed them aside. "Here drink that." Poppy gave her a potion. "You have no broken bones. If your head still hurts come tomorrow or you feel dizzy constantly come back." she said. "Yes Madame Pomfrey."

"Now off you go." She sent the girl on her way a three of the other players and her friends going with her. "Still not up is she?" She went over to Aniu's bed. The girl had neither fever nor any broken bones of her own. The fall must have been worse then she thought. "I Don't think she'll be up tonight. You all go and enjoy your party." she said walking over to a different patient. "Aniu you have to wake up." Leon poked her in the cheek again. As a reflex she hit him in the head with the heel of her hand.

"Ow." Aniu sat up her eyesight clearing out the fuzziness. "Confused?" the captain asked. "You got knocked off your broom."

"Yeah and hit me in the head. What was that for?" "You were poking her in the head I would swing at you too." noel informed him. "Well you're alive. I've got a party to get too." He left. "That was wicked awesome mate. You won the game too." She smiled. Poppy let Aniu go. Because she was a werewolf she was tougher to not only kill but to take down for long. She went back to Gryffindor tower to change into her costume. She settled for a Viking. Noel and Leon met her in the great hall they were dressed as a twin headed dragon.

"Well we won our first game. I'm happy. I've already sent the letter to my family."

"We get to narrate the next game. It's going to be Slytherin against Hufflepuff Our own house. Hope we win." That night they danced and laughed and when going back to their towers the party continued just a little further for the Gryffindor house.

Dear Aniu,

Congratulations on making the team and winning your first game. See you home for Christmas.

Love

Everyone
