The first-years looked very nervous. I wondered if I also looked like that two years ago. Names got called and all the new students got sorted.

"Weasley, Fred", said McGonagall. I looked at Percy next to me, but he didn't give any reaction. A boy with the same red hair as Percy stepped out of the line. Before he could sit down on the four-legged stool another boy, who was a precise copy of the first one, also stepped out of the line.

"George, what are you doing? I am Fred", one of them said.

"Oh, right", the other one responded, "Forgot about it." George went back to the line while Fred took place on the stool. Both of them got sorted into Gryffindor.

"Hi, Percy!" Fred walked towards his brother, "Glad to see you again."

"We missed you so much", George said and he gave Percy a big hug. I couldn't keep from laughing at the twins. Suddenly they noticed me.

"Percy, is that your girlfriend?"

"You never told us about her." My head turned as read as the boys' hair and I quickly looked down.

"Which subjects have you chosen?" Rose asked me that evening.

"Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures", I told her, "And you?"

"I wish I had chosen otherwise now I have to deal with Divination", Rose sighed.

"Oh come on, Rose, you have never had Divination before it can be fun!" I assured her.

"You think? A sixth year told me Professor Trelawney, the teacher of Divination, doesn't have any idea of what she's doing during lessons. She can't even really see the future or predict something."

"You have to see it before you can judge", I wisely said her.

"Good evening", Percy walked into the common room.

"Hi", I smiled that dumb smile of me. Rose gave me a glance that couldn't mean anything good. The portrait swung open again and Oliver Wood came into the common room.

"Good news", he smiled.

"You're in the team", I immediately guessed. Oliver smiled

"No, you're not!" Rose said disbelieved.

"I am the new Gryffindor Keeper."

"That's amazing!" I congratulated him.

"Charlie was really happy he found a good Keeper."

"He's the Seeker of the team isn't he?" Rose asked.

"Yes," Oliver said, "And he's Captain too. This weekend is first match."

"Emily, hurry up! We're going to be late!" I ran after Rose to the Quidditch pitch where all third years from Gryffindor were waiting to see Gryffindor's new Keeper playing. Madam Hooch gave a loud blast on her silver whistle and the game began. Rose and I saw it coming. A Bludger decided to come pelting Oliver's way.

"Oliver, watch out!" Rose and I yelled, but it was too late. The Bludger hit him full on the head and Oliver fell of his broom.

"He is going to crush on the ground!" Rose yelled, "Emily, do something!"

"What can I do!?" My thoughts worked as fast as they could. I had to do something otherwise Oliver would get seriously hurt.

"Aresto Momentum!" I yelled just on time.

"That Bludger hit him really hard, you can't expect him to be woken up by now." The Hospital Wing was full of students worrying about Oliver. Madam Pomfrey told us we had to leave, she would take care of Oliver and made sure he would be better soon.

I was in the Great Hall, working on an essay for Potions. Percy nudged me.

"Look who's back", he said. I looked up and saw Oliver Wood walking into the Great Hall. Oliver sat down next to Percy with a big smile on his face.

"Oliver," I said, "You're back! Are you alright?"

"Never better", he smiled, "I don't remember anything. What happened?"

"You took a Bludger to the head-" I said.

"-And woke up in the hospital one week later", Percy continued. I laughed and nodded.

The visits to Hogsmead were a privilege McGonnagall had said. Everyone really enjoyed it though one Gryffindor used to stay in the castle during weekends. Percy was working on a task for ancient Runes, a task I still had to start with.

"Why aren't you going to Hogsmead just like everyone else?" I asked him before leaving the castle for some fun at Zonko's.

"Homework", was all Percy answered.

"A Butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks would be on its place right now", Rose said while leaving Honeydukes. My pockets were filled with all the sweet things I bought there and with a lot of funny toys from Zonko's. Rose and I entered the pub and asked for two Butterbeers. We sat down at a table near the door.

"Maybe we can go to the Shrieking Shack after this", Rose proposed. I shook my head.

"You can go if you want," I said her, "But you don't get me in there."

"We're not going to enter it, only looking at it from a distance." But I shook my head again.

"Sorry, Rose, but I have heard a lot about it and I think it's better not to get too close to it."

"Slytherin!?" Rose jumped up from her seat, "Again!?" she yelled when the House Cup was awarded to Slytherin. I tried to get her back to her seat saying: "Rose, be calm. Everybody is looking at you."

"Shut up", she said angry. I can tell you that the journey on the train could've been better. Rose definitely wanted to break something, or someone.
