The next week they all went to diagon alley, they had got to the leaky cauldron and saw Crystal's parents, Alicia's parents, and Alec. Ann-Marie's heart skipped a beat when she saw Alec, she missed him so much, all the parents shook hands and Ann-Marie without realizing what she was doing ran up to Alec and hugged him, she stopped when she realized what she was doing, Alec looked at her and smiled before saying

"Good to see you to Ann" replied Alec, Ann-Marie felt her cheeks burn but smiled at Alec anyway,

"Ok, shall we go through to get the school stuff?" said Ann-Marie's mother, they went through a door and saw a brick wall, Ann-Marie's dad got his wand out and tapped the bricks with it and they opened to show a street, the walked past the broom shop and Ann-Marie, Alec, Crystal and Ann-Marie's parents all stared in the window at the new broom stick in the window with gold writing that read FIREBOLT 2000.

"Hey Ann, weren't you thinking of trying out for the quidditch team this year?" asked Ann-Marie's dad

"Yeah…" replied Ann-Marie

"Well, I think in that case you should get a new broom," said Ann-Marie's dad walking into the shop "you wait here and I'll be right back out with your new broom" and with that he disappeared inside the shop, a few moments later he returned with a box that had gold writing saying

ANN-MARIE POTTER

FIREBOLT 2000

Ann-Marie thanked her dad and grabbed the box, she opened it and sure enough there was her broomstick,

"OK, shall we get the school robes, and books now?" said Ann-Marie's mother.

The next month on the first of September Ann-Marie woke up in her house, she looked to her side and saw Alicia's suitcase, Crystal's suitcase and her own suitcase. The alarm went of shortly after and they all woke up.

"Is it the first of September already?" asked Crystal, Ann-Marie nodded, they got dressed and they heard Ann-Marie's mum calling

"GIRLS, YOU NEED TO GET DOWN HERE NOW! YOU HAVEN'T GOT TIME FOR BREAKFAST!" they all put there shoes on and went downstairs, they left for the train immediately. At the train station Ann-Marie's mum and dad were saying goodbye.

"Remember to write to us Ann, OK. Now, you do have everything don't you?"

"Yes, mum, everything, including my broom," said Ann-Marie hugging her parent's goodbye

"Good luck with getting on the team Ann!" yelled her dad as Ann-Marie went to get on the train, she was walking down the corridor to a compartment and mike ran up to her.

"Hi Ann" he said hugging her "have a good summer"

"Yeah it was great, how about yours?" asked Ann

"Yeah, it was OK. Shall we go find a compartment then?" he opened a door and they walked in; they were followed shortly by Alicia and Crystal.

A few weeks later Ann-Marie, Crystal and Alec were trying out for the quidditch team. They were about to try out and were talking about what position they wanted.

"Well I'd love to be a keeper," said Alec

"Nah, I'd want to be a chaser" said Crystal

"Well what about you Ann?" asked Alec

"I want to be a seeker, my granddad was the Gryffindor seeker, then my dad was, and my mum would take over for my dad as seeker if he couldn't play a match" said Ann-Marie, just then Flynn Peterson came through, he was the Gryffindor quidditch captain and was a beater.

"OK, if you just come through were ready for you, Crystal, you can go first, you two just watch" they all waked through, Ann-Marie and Alec sat in the audience, Crystal kicked of the ground and grabbed the Quaffle, she dodged the other players and threw the Quaffle through the hoop, she did this several times, each time better than the last, finally she landed and Flynn walked up to her and started talking to her, Crystal ran up to Ann-Marie and Alec,

"Well?" asked Ann-Marie

"I'm in!" said Crystal

"Wow! Well done!" said Ann-Marie

"ALEC! Your up next!" called Flynn, Alec got up "And Crystal! I need you for this one!" she got up and Flynn spoke to the two of them, shortly after they kicked of the ground and Alec flew towards the hoops, Crystal threw the first ball to the hoop, Alec barley missed it, the second one he hitted away successfully, in the end he had blocked the ball eight times out of ten, they landed and Flynn talked to Alec for a bit, Crystal came up to Ann-Marie

"Wow, I didn't know Alec was so good at quidditch," said Ann-Marie, just then Alec came up to them

"I'm in!" he said ecstatically

"Ann-Marie Potter!" called out Flynn; Ann-Marie stood up and walked towards him with her broom in her hand

"OK Ann, what I'm going to do is let you kick of into the air and then I'll release the snitch and you can show me what you've got, OK?" he said, Ann nodded and kicked of, she looked over to Flynn who was releasing the Golden Snitch, she dived towards it and it flew of, it went around the tower, through the hoops, a just above the audience, and down so it was almost touching the ground, it rose up and circled the quidditch pitch, Ann-Marie stretched her hand out, and caught it. The crowd cheered as she touched back down to the ground, Flynn came up to her and said.

"That was perfect Ann! You've got loads of talent! Your on the team!" Ann-Marie smiled and walked up to Crystal and Alec.

"Merlin Ann! Why didn't you say you were so good! You did get on the team didn't you, cause after that you not getting on the team would be a crime against nature!" said Crystal

"yeah, I'm on the team" said Ann-Marie, Crystal whooped, and Ann-Marie could picture it now, Alec and herself, playing quidditch together, it was going to be great…
