After lunch and some hanging out, Harry and Ron made their way back to the Quidditch pitch at two o'clock. The team was there and already practicing.
Violet, Jamie, and Amanda walked over to Harry.
"What do we do?" asked Jamie
Harry looked at the three. "I'll let the bludgers out and you will attack them and keep them away from the chasers. Got it?"
The three shook their heads, yes, and lifted off the ground. As the bludger got lose.
Harry watched them for about twenty minutes and called the three down.
"You all did well and I've decided that, Jamie and Violet will be the new beaters."
Amanda looked hurt and Harry saw it. "I'm sorry Amanda, you were good, but your swing was a little off. Keep practicing and try again."
Amanda gave Harry a little smile. "Your right. Next time I'll try harder and practice more." Harry smiled. "That's the spirit." He told Amanda as she walked away.
A week later was the first Quidditch match of the season. In honor of that the school brought back Lee Jordan. A former student, who use to announce the Quidditch matches.
"Good Morning, students and welcome to the first Quidditch match of the year!" Lee Jordan hollered. "Gryffindor vs. Slytherin."
The students in the crowds cheered heartily for the match.
"Now the Gryffindor team: Our beaters: Jamie Shacks, and Violet Grey; the chasers: Ginny Weasley, Silver and Nicholas Parke. Let's not forget about our favorite keeper: Ron Weasley, and last but not least the Gryffindor captain and seeker, Harry Potter."
The Gryffindor, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs cheered for the Gryffindor team, as the Slytherins booed their arrival.
"Now the Slytherin team: Beaters: Crabbe and Goyle; the Chasers: Ramone Montague, Julie Capulet, and Chase Brown; the Keeper: Jonathan Twist; and the Captain and Seeker: Draco Malfoy.
The Slytherins cheered for their team as the rest of the school booed.
"Now Madam Hooch makes her way to the pitch."
Madam Hooch walked on to the middle of the pitch and kicked the Quidditch box open. "Now, I want a nice clean game from all of you." She stated, while emphasizing her point by looking at Draco and Harry. Then she threw the quaffle into the air and the game began.
Lee Jordan called the plays as the game proceeded. "Gryffindor chasers got the quaffle. Weasley to Parke, back to Parke. Oh God, this is confusing; so Silver throws to Nick, Nick passes back to Ginny; and Ginny scores!"
The crowd cheered. The game score was 10-0 in favor of Gryffindor. Slytherin's chasers then got the ball as Harry spotted the snitch fluttering above the Gryffindor stands. Harry dived his Firebolt, swerved up and around the stands and caught the snitch.
"Harry Potter has caught the snitch, 20 minutes into the game! It's over folks! Gryffindor wins 160 to 0!"
Harry smiled. Now it was time for some real fun, or so he thought.
