Ok Recap of last chapter: The group got to Hogwarts . . . Harry and Colleen went to Dumbledore's office. They read a letter from their parents, and their parents were NOT dead!
Chapter 11: Q & A
"You do know that our house was destroyed, right?" Colleen asked Lily.
"No, it wasn't," James replied
"Wadda ya mean, Daddy?" Colleen again asked. James smiled at how easily she called him 'daddy', he missed hearing that.
"What he means is, that wasn't our actual house. We knew that Voldemort was coming to Godric's Hollow, so we used the abandoned house across the street. Our house is the one with the stone pillars," Lily answered.
"The really big one?" Harry asked. Lily and James nodded. "Whoa."
"Where are you staying?" Sirius asked.
"Well, I'm going to clean the house since it's has been unoccupied for 16 years, so we just need a place to hang until about Christmas," James said
"You can--" Sirius started
"You can stay here at Hogwarts," Dumbledore insisted. Lily and James smiled, as did Colleen and Harry.
"Um, Professor, I was wondering where Potter was, as he was not seen heading towards the dormitories," Snape said walking into the Headmaster's office.
Harry turned around in his seat to face the Potions master. Then Colleen did the same, followed by Lily, then James.
"Snape? How are you?" James asked, smiling at the old classmate
"Fine," Snape said, recalling his hatred for the Potter Clan.
"Harry is here, as is his sister, Colleen, who will be joining him this year." Dumbledore said, Snape looked disgusted.
'Great, just what I need, another Potter' Snape thought as he left the office.
"So who are you?" a group of 7th years asked Colleen as she sat in the common room. Colleen looked up at them, then laughing inside, at the many gasps that escaped.
"Colleen," she answered smiling up at them.
"You play Quidditch?" one boy asked. He was rather tall with brown hair.
"Yep, youngest Quidditch player in a century," She told them and continued to read.
"That's impossible! Harry Potter is the youngest Quidditch player in a century!" another blurted.
"Nope . . ." She said closing her book and standing up, "Harry's 2 minutes older."
She left the group of 7th year boys with a smile on her lips.
"Ok, I want to thank you all for trying out!" Harry screamed to a very large group of Gryffindors.
"I'm posting the list in the common room as soon as possible," and with that tryouts were over.
Colleen followed Harry into the common room that night. Harry had already told her who was on the team.
The list read:
Gryffindor Quidditch House Team:

"Now this should be interesting," Ariana said, smiling at the list which consisted of every American Quidditch player.
"Not that I was being biased, but you guys are GOOD!" Harry said, smiling.
"What can we say? Americans were built for sports," Colleen said
"Sis, you're not American," Harry corrected.
"I grew up there, might as well be," Colleen said getting defensive.
That night, Colleen was reading another book in front of the crackling fire. She didn't hear Matt walking down the stairs.
"Um Colleen, can I ask you a very, very, very important question?" Matt asked. Colleen jumped; she wasn't expecting anyone to join her.
"Sure, go ahead," she answered, closing her book, and curling her feet underneath her.
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to be..." Matt started at a loss for words.
"Yes," She answered
"What?
"I'd love to be your girlfriend," She smiled at him.
"Well, that wasn't so bad," Matt said before he leaned towards Colleen and planted a sweet kiss upon her lips.
