Thank you to my reviewers.

1 The announcement
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Leonora and Daphne walked up to the Great Hall, and arrived just in time to find seats together. Ron and Harry wasted no time in helping themselves to food, but the three girls just sat talking about what the announcement would be. Hermione was amazed that Ron and Harry didn't seem in the least bit curious.
"Hermione, we know what the announcement is going to be about. I'm amazed that you haven't figured it out yet." Said Ron when Hermione voiced her opinion.
"What's it about then?" She asked.
"The new Quidditch captain." Said Harry, helping himself to more bacon.
Hermione laughed. "Well now I'm amazed that Harry can actually eat. Aren't you nervous?" She said, staring at him.
"I suppose so, but I also know that it's not gonna be me. I'm the person who's been on the team the shortest time, and that makes me the least qualified. I don't know the first thing about being a Quidditch captain."
"I think you'd make a good Quidditch captain." Said Leonora quietly.
"Well, thanks Leonora, but you can't really say that, after all, you've never seen me play or anything." Said Harry.
Leonora smiled. "Yeah, but, I feel like I have because, well, you should hear Draco go on about you. He's told me about all the Quidditch matches he's played against you, and as far as I can tell, he's always lost. And I think Draco's quite a good flyer, so that must mean you are as well." She said quickly.
Harry grinned. "He talks about me? Awww."
Ron started laughing but Hermione gasped.
"Quiet, I think Dumbledore's about to make the announcement!"
The five of them looked up to the staff table, where Albus Dumbledore was standing, waiting for silence. A hush fell over the Great Hall. Dumbledore smiled.
"Good morning everyone! I don't think I've ever seen so many people here for breakfast at the same time, especially the Gryffindors, I know how fond you all are of sleeping late."
The Gryffindors laughed politely, and Ron muttered "Hear! Hear!" under his breath.
Dumbledore continued. "Now, I am about to make the announcement of the new Gryffindor Quidditch captain, but first, let us remind ourselves of the candidates, who are the members of the Quidditch team and current holders of the house cup." There was a loud cheer from the Gryffindors, but Dumbledore raised his hand for silence.
"I am sure each of the members of the team would make a splendid Quidditch captain." There was applause for the team.
"Who did you vote for, Harry?" Whispered Hermione.
"Alicia Spinnet." He whispered back.
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "And the new Gryffindor Quidditch captain, with an overwhelming six out of seven votes, is Harry Potter."
There was a deafening cheer, not only from the Gryffindor table, but also from the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables too. Some of the Slytherins were clapping politely, but not many of them. Draco Malfoy looked like he was about explode with fury.
As for Harry, the new Quidditch captain, he was sitting in complete shock, while people all around him were jumping up and down and rushing over to hug him.
"Harry? HARRY!" Harry heard the voice, and looked up, dazedly at Ron.
"Way to go!" He yelled. "Then he dropped his voice and muttered, "Look at Malfoy."
Harry swivelled around in his seat and looked across to the Slytherin table.
Malfoy was sitting still, breathing deeply, and looking ready to punch whoever dared to speak to him. Harry and Ron burst out laughing, and when Hermione and Daphne saw what they were laughing at, they joined in as well.
Leonora had been cheering with the rest of the Gryffindors, but then she'd caught her brother's eye. He gave her a look that said quite plainly "If you dare." She had stopped cheering and spent the rest of breakfast in silence.
Dumbledore wasn't finished. "I also have the captain of the Hufflepuff team to announce. And the captain is: Terry Boot."
There was massive applause for Terry Boot, who was looking incredibly embarrassed.
When the cheering for Terry stopped, and everyone was sitting down with big grins on their faces, Daphne turned to Harry. "So Harry" she said, "what's Quidditch?"
Sorry the chapter was so short; I think the next one will be longer. Anyway, please r/r, and remember, I need suggestions for a title!
P.S- I'm not sure if Terry Boot is a Hufflepuff because I leant my first HP book to someone and I couldn't check. Sorry if I'm wrong.
