Chapter Two

"What?" asked Ron in disbelief, "They're coming all the way down here just to play Quidditch?"

Harry remembered Drumstrang in his 4th year, He had framed their current Headmaster of putting his name in the goblet of fire, which he later found out was young Barty Crouch.

"They must have a new headmaster now," said Harry as he slipped on his Quidditch socks, made especially for him by a house elf named Dobby, "Kartakoff fled..."

With further discussion about Kartakoff and Quidditch, Harry and Ron slowly headed down the 7 flights of the changing Hogwarts steps and out to the Quidditch pitch.

The Pitch was dark and cold, crisp night air filled Harry's senses as he found Angelina and the rest of the team huddled deep in the Gryffindor box looking extremely tired.

"About time!" roared Angelina as Harry and Ron made their way near her. "What took so long? We were about to start practice without you!"

The Quidditch team now consisted of the usual 7 players, Angelina as the coach and Chaser, Katie Bell and Ginny Weasley, (who had been switched to chaser after Harry retook the place of the seeker) and Lavender Brown, who surprisingly had been a terrific chaser. Ron was still Keeper and in place of Fred and George, there was Semus Finnigin and Dean Thomas.

"Now that everyone's here," Angelina then shot Harry and Ron a look of greatest disgust, "We can begin practice, Drumstrang has a great Quidditch team, we need to train hard, Harry go set the snitch free and Lavender stop complaining!"

Practice turned out to be from the 1 hour that Angelina had said to a 3 hour scrimmage, but Harry didn't mind, all he really cared about at the moment was training hard to beat the Drumstrang team at the game that their school was famous for.
