Hello. Sorry it has been a while since I updated. I will continue this story but I would like some more reviews. Also this will definitely be the demise of Katie and Harry's relationship and the start of Harry and Ginny's. WINK WINK. Also new characters will be introduced here.

Chapter 9: Gryffindor Gains in a Big Way.

"Welcome to the first quidditch match of the season, Slytherin vs. GRYFFINDOR!" Lee Jordan's voice rang into the crowded stands. "Now welcome the Gryffindor team. Keeper: Weasley, Beater: Weasley, Beater: Weasley, Chaser: Spinnet, Chaser: Bell, Chaser: Johnson, and Seeker/Captain: POTTER!!!!!!!!" Lee roared with enthusiasm.

Harry flew onto the pitch to the roar of the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw houses but to boos from the Slytherins. He flew to the middle of the pitch to shake hands with the Slytherin captain: Goyle.

"Oh great they made this slug captain?" thought Harry trying to keep the smirk off of his face. Goyle noticed this but did not say anything as the whistle from Madame Hooch signaled the beginning of the game. Madame Hooch let the Bludgers, and the Snitch out before finally throwing up the Quaffle. Alicia grabbed the Quaffle and headed towards the Slytherin goal posts. She lobbed the Quaffle and it sailed through the center ring and made the score 10-0 in favor of Gryffindor.

"SPINNET SCORES!!!!!!!!" yelled Lee over the roar of the Gryffindor crowd.

The game went on in this same fashion for about an hour. The score was 240-0 to nothing when Harry saw the Snitch. He turned his Bullet (his new broomstick that Sirius got him) and flew towards it. Within 5 seconds, and before the Slytherins knew it, Harry had the Snitch and won the game for Gryffindor.

"GRYFFINDOR WINS 390-0! WAY TO GO POTTER!!!!" Lee had to yell very loud to make himself heard over the ROARING crowd.

Harry was suddenly enveloped by 6 other people wearing red quidditch robes and they slowly floated to the ground. Then the fans poured onto the field and enveloped the whole Gryffindor team and Harry looked up to see not only Ron and Hermione kissing like there was no tommorow but also another redhead that he now noticed just how beautiful she was.

Before Harry knew it he had Ginny in his arms kissing her passionately. Katie not being at the game was pushed far from his mind and all he could think was "How could I have ever loved Katie?" Then he realised he loved Ginny and was just with Katie because he thought that Ginny did not like him any more. With the way Ginny was kissing him she still loved him. They continued this for a while before a very pissed off voice sounded from behind them.

"HARRY POTTER! HOW DARE YOU KISS ANOTHER GIRL! I AM YOUR GIRLFRIEND NOT HER!" Before Harry knew it he was red in the face with anger. But before he could move Ginny and Hermione had both made it to Katie and Ginny landed a punch in Katie's midsection and Hermione landed a slap on Katie's face.

Professor McGonnagall came over and took Ginny and Hermione away and Harry stepped up to Katie still very very pissed off. He turned to her and yelled "YOU VILE GIRL! I DON'T LOVE YOU I LOVE GINNY! I DON'T KNOW HOW I COULD EVER BE WITH YOU! YOU ARE JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER AND I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU LIED TO ME AND I BELIEVED YOU! YOU CAN JUST LEAVE! YOU ONLY ASKED THE SORTING HAT TO PLACE YOU IN GRYFFINDOR SO YOU COULD TORMENT ME! DON'T THINK I HAVE NOT NOTICED YOU HANGING OUT WITH THOSE DAMN SLYTHERIN FRIENDS OF YOURS! SO YOU CAN GO BE WITH THEM!" Harry practically spat this at her. "AND JUST SO YOU KNOW WE ARE OVER!" Harry never said anything with more VENOM in it in his whole life.

Katie just laughed and said "HA HA HA. You think you are so perfect huh Potter? Well you will soon find out that you, your mud-blood friend, your Weasel girlfriend, and your Weasel friend are doomed and my father will rule this world and all that are in it." and with that Katie got up to run to the Slytherin conversation. Little did she know Ginny had heard the whole conversation and when Katie reached Ginny, Ginny clotheslined her.

"That will be a dentention for you Ms. Granger and 2 for you Ms. Weasley. Even though she said what she said there was no reason for your actions. Also, Ms. Marvolo we will make a trip to see the Headmaster to discuss your further enrollment in this school." With that Professor McGonnagall hauled Katie to her feet and rushed her to see Dumbledore.

The next thing Harry knew he was back to kissing Ginny and the next thing he heard from Ron was "Congratulations Harry and Ginny but please GET A ROOM!" This made Harry and Ginny blush furiously.

"So does this mean we are a couple now?" Ginny asked even though she knew the answer already.

Harry just kissed her and said "Does that answer your question?" Ginny just nodded and they went back to kissing.

The next morning Harry met Ginny, Ron, Draco, and Hermione in the common room. After recieving his congratulations from Draco he wrapped his arm around Ginny's waist and they headed to the Great Hall for breakfast. Upon entering he noticed the Sorting Hat on the stool in the front of the Hall. He did not even wonder why it was there.

"Ahem. Ms. Marvolo has been granted permission to remain at Hogwarts but she will be re-sorted to make sure she was placed in the right house." there were murmurs of excitement from the school as Katie went to place the hat on her head once again.

The hat did not even touch her head before it yelled "SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherins yelled with excitement as Katie joined them throwing horrible glares at Harry and his new girlfriend Ginny.

Soon the Headmaster stood up and said "We have some new transfer students from America. 7 5th years. Their names are Dustin Coons, Jennifer Schwenneker, Allen O'Key, Katie Whitlow, Stephanie Dunbar, John VanDeGenachte, and Adam O'Key. They will now be sorted into their Houses.

"Dustin Coons" Professor McGonnagall said and Dustin headed up to the sorting hat and put it on. The hat sat on his head for a while and then shouted "GRYFFINDOR!"

"Jennifer Schwenneker." The hat was placed on her head and it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"

"Allen O'Key." Again the hat was placed on his head and it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"

"Katie Whitlow." She put the hat on and it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"

"Stephanie Dunbar." She placed the hat on and it thought a while before yelling "GRYFFINDOR!"

"Adam O'Key." He walked up and placed the hat on and it thought longer than it did for anyone else befor it finally yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"

"John VanDeGenachte." as he walked up the aisle he caught Dustin's eye and smiled. He placed the hat on his head and it barely touched when it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindors screamed with joy as Dustin, Jennifer, Allen, Katie, Stephanie, John, and Adam joined their ranks. Everyone was introduced and they had a great breakfast.

Dumbledore stood up and announced "I am pleased to say that even though our Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher was tragically killed by Voldemort we have indeed found a suitable replacement. Everyone please give a warm welcome to Professor Lily Potter."

Harry could not believe his ears "Professor Lily Potter." What could this mean.
