"When were you going to tell us you were a prefect?" Harry said catching up to Hermione walking to the hospital wing.

"I don't know it just skipped my mind."

"Skipped your mind?" Ron said accusingly. "Come on just because we didn't like Percy, you are way better than him."

Hermione sighed, "It's not about that." though in her mind she knew it was one of the reasons.

"Ok then why?"

'I feel I have to compete with Malfoy because he is one.' she felt like saying. "Really, I was so caught in studying it fled my mind, until that small problem arose." she explained, referring to last night.

The two boys looked at each other, "Oh."

Dawn dragged Stephanie to the pitch. Gryffindors packed the area, Madame Hooch was putting them in groups they wanted to be in.

Steph looked up at Dawn with a confused look on her face.

"Oh come of it, you'll be fine." Dawn smiled. "So chaser, keeper, beater, or seeker..."

"I have never flown on a broom before!" Steph looked bewildered.

The chaser group were told to go into heats, Madame Hooch explained they wanted the fastest and most coordinated person. Three groups of ten were set up and about 3 in each group won. Dawn, Ron and Dean won the first heat. A girl named Lavender, Stephanie (out of a fluke), and a blond hair boy won the second heat. Neville (out of fluke), Ginny, and a 3rd year brown haired boy, won the third and last heat.
Four Gryffindors were chosen to be possible Keepers. Next week they chose the final three for the team. Most of the students left the pitch with bummed attitudes.

"Awesome, we got in!" Dawn smiled, hugging Steph.

Ron was yammering to Ginny, and Harry was congratulating her. "Wicked flying," Ginny said to both the girls.

"Ya totally awesome." Ron clapped the returning-from-green-Steph on the back, which made her gag.

"You all seemed like fierce competition, even though you were on school brooms." Harry said.

Once again the pitch was filled with students, this time of different houses. The Quiditch teams, and the few possibilities (about 77 students) then came the houses... they crowded the pitch. All the professors, came out to the pitch and yelled for the students to get back to class, Hermione was amazingly bummed at this fact.

"All right then, we will now see your team work skills. To 5 goals each team." Madame Hooch explained to the large group. Hufflepuff and Gryffindor were up first.

They used the new team mates, instead of some of the old ones. the fifth years were teamed up, Dawn was magnificat, Ron was great.... the family blood was showing (for once), Lavender was just great she could shoot, and glided like a bird. The Gryffindor's won the 5 points easily. The next game for Gryffindor was Ravenclaw, they won the 5 points easily. Dean was a great team mate, Stephanie found she couldn't balance holding the quaffel and took a nose dive, and Neville had a similar problem.. but he went too fast for his own good. The younger Gryffindors were against Slytherin, they were so close but Slytherin won, one point ahead.
Slytherin won all three, Gryffindor two, Hufflepuff won none but found their players, and Ravenclaw won one.
Dawn and Lavender were called up for chasers, though bumming Ron and Ginny, and the rest. A friend of Angelina's was made the keeper of Gryffindor

The night before Halloween, Willow was in her chambers talking to Spike.

"Do you think they are ready?" she smiled.

"You are starting a new unit right?"

"Well I just wanted to try something more lively then notes. Components of a demon.. perhaps?" Willow smiled. "How about Clem? or do you think Anya wouldn't mind?" she laughed lightly.

"Clem? why him? Jeeze you'll make the kids laugh until they wet themselves." he sneered.

"Seven classes, first to third years get to see a vampire in action.. and fourth to seventh get to see a demon. What do you think, too pg?"

Spike had to laugh, "Ok fine. But if the students laugh don't blame me."

"Oh, I got to go I have a meeting with a professor." Willow left the room.
