Before They Were Great

by onlyonceinforever

Two years before the trio came to Hogwarts, there were different stories. This is the one of a game called Quidditch and a boy named Oliver who found someone whose unbridled passion matched his own. :ON HIATUS:

1. Chapter 1

Disclaimer:As of the last time I checked, I don't own Harry Potter. I suppose that if I did, I wouldn't be forced to resort to counting down the hours until the new book comes out.

A/N: Sorry, this would have been out sooner, but I kinda got myself banned from the site for a week, so I couldn't post it.

Before They Were Great

Kayla Joseph was not having a good night. The seventh year Gryffindor had turned the lights out hours ago to no avail. Sleep refused to come to the emotionally and physically drained student; too many nights of studying 'till the wee hours of the morning could attest to that.

Kayla turned over one last time, only to have sleep driven away once again by her restless mind. Finally, she climbed out of bed and moved to her wooden desk silently, flipping the 'on' switch to a small desk lamp as she went.

Sighing, Kayla glanced over to her roommate Sky's bed, only to discover that it was empty. Oh well, she supposed, She's probably out with James. Sky and her boyfriend James were known for their rather promiscuous behavior from time to time.

Kayla shrugged and pulled an open loose-leaf notebook into her lap. She picked up a battered paperback book from where it lay open, a random sock serving as a bookmark, on the desk. Kayla sighed again and began to write. After all, her team had a match later that week, and it was her personal last chance to bring the Quidditch Cup home to Gryffindor.

Wow, that was...short. As in, unusually so. Oh well. I suppose I'll just have to write an especially long chapter next to make up for it.
