Heaps of food began to fill the table after the Sorting. Wide-eyed first years were sitting close to each other, as though if they were to sit apart they would suffer. Harry, Hermione and Ron were huddled over their schedules, and the twins and Lee were observing what seemed to be a long list of something. Angelina was scooping some applesauce out of a large bowl, Alicia was still reading her edition of The Daily Prophet, and Katie was studying Ana. The girl's black hair was tied in the back, swept out of the way of her eyesight. Her eyes were a hazel colour, and not very friendly looking. Her nose slid to a point, making her eyes and cheeks look somewhat caved in. Suddenly, she glanced up, saw Katie looking at her, smirked, and whispered something to the girl sitting next to her. Together, they laughed. Katie put on a cheesy smile and gave them both a thumbs-up. That shut them up. Angelina was observing Katie. "Gosh, Katie, you certainly know how to piss off those Rat-Munchers…" she alleged, using her nickname for the Slytherins. Alicia rolled her eyes. "You know, that is really immature to call them that."

"Look who's talking!" Angelina retorted.

"Oy! Girls! Can't we all just get along?" Fred grinned at them. Lee and George were grinning as well.

"Eh, who said you could join our conversation?" Alicia glared. Angelina tried to suffocate a chuckle.

Fred looked like he was just shot. "Oh, she got me! Right here!" he exclaimed, holding a part of his chest. Coughing and gagging violently, he slumped his upper body on Lee. Several first years scooted a few inches away from him.

"Hey! G'roff me!" Lee pushed Fred.

"You guys, you're scaring the ickle children!" Katie said. "They could be potential players! Well, in the future…"

"Ah, we'll have to make sure that when we leave, we have some good Beaters to take our place, won't we, Fred?" George nudged his brother.

"Yea, seeing as you two didn't exactly make it up to the 'Good' standards…" Lee joked.

"Hey!" Fred kicked Lee under the table.

By now, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had joined the conversation.

"I am so ready for the match…." Harry looked over at the Slytherin table. Draco was in his usual place, sitting between Crabbe and Goyle. Ron gulped.

Lee heard him. "Oh! I almost forgot…it's going to be Ronniekin's first match! So, Ron, how does it feel to be replacing Oliver Wood, possibly the best Keeper ever? You have big shoes to fill…" Ron gulped again.

"Well, I, uh, can't wait! It's going to be..great!" Ron forced a pathetic looking smile on his face.

"Don't worry; we won't let anything happen to you, if you're a good little boy." Fred cackled. Ron gulped.

"Good God! How many times can that boy gulp?" Katie questioned herself.

"And we have some mighty fine Chasers, if I do say so myself!" Angelina announced to the group.

"I wonder who the Chasers are for the Slytherins, since their other Chasers are gone now...?" Hermione wondered out loud.

"Let's hope they brush their teeth." Katie said, trying to keep a straight face to no avail. Suddenly, the face of Madame Hooch was looking right at Angelina. She would have jumped if she wasn't used to Madam Hooch always appearing out of nowhere.

"The field is first come, first serve tomorrow morning until right before lunch. Just letting the teams know."

"Thanks, Madame Hooch." The players all chimed in.

"Alright, gang! You heard the woman!" Fred looked at all of them.

"Umm, excuse me, but since when are you captain?" Angelina gave Fred a Look. Fred shuddered. He got enough Looks from his mother. He didn't need anymore Looks.

"What, you don't want to practice?" George asked.

"Duh. Of course. I just need to keep Fred on his toes, and the rest of you. As captain, I am ordering you to get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow we are having a long, good, but most of all, FUN practice."

Ron groaned.

"Well, at least he isn't gulping…" Katie thought.

Early the next day, Katie felt herself being shaken awake by none other than Angelina. She glanced out the window.

"Uggh…Angie, it's dark…lemme sleep…" Katie shoved her head underneath her pillow. Suddenly she felt her body freeze in the cold air. She reached for her blanket, which wasn't there.

"It's five-thirty. Get up. We have a lot of things to cover." Angelina whispered, not wanting to wake up the fortunate girls who weren't on the team.

Katie groaned, but sat up. "You are a very evil woman." She muttered, watching Angelina hurrying over to Alicia's bed.

Pulling on a sock, she swore softly. She had a slight cut on her foot. "Ouch…I must have stepped on something…"

After Katie and Alicia were finished getting dressed, they followed Angelina out to the common room. Four sleepy looking teammates greeted them.

"I hope you slept well, because I am determined to win our first match. Never mind that we'll have to put in all of our hours and best efforts. We will come out on top this year!" Angelina punched the air on the word 'year'.

"Err….right…let's go, then." George said, looking at Angelina like she just said something incredibly stupid.

A/N- Thanks for reading again! I figured out the whole formatting deal, so I'm sorry that my first chapter was screwy. I'd like to thank my reviewer that told me that my formatting needed to change. I did not notice this when I posted it and read it about five times over. So, keep on sending me the tips and tricks and comments…and whatnot. I enjoy them. Ciao!
