I shifted around as I slowly woke up. Before I could open my eyes, however, I heard a loud click and a bright flash of light hit my closed eyelids. I groaned as I sat up and blinked my eyes groggily.389Please respect copyright.PENANAIOEDIcIVCU

"What-what's up g-guys?" I said yawning widely. They laughed at me.389Please respect copyright.PENANAnhwuoV8lOe

389Please respect copyright.PENANAe1VpSu3SV0
"Not much, just thought we'd wake the sleeping princess before she was late to class." I blushed at the nickname and rubbed my eyes. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8dknKSyTk

"I'd say about 8:30ish," Fred replied. I squealed in shock.389Please respect copyright.PENANAHdxI1Wffph

389Please respect copyright.PENANAffNK0KeZ83
"Oh my gawd, I can't believe I slept in so late!" I cried. Something shifted behind me.389Please respect copyright.PENANAKeh3hUpaqJ

389Please respect copyright.PENANAMkau20Ay2B
"Huh? I'm up, what's going on? What's wrong?" I heard Harry shout as he struggled to sit up next to me.389Please respect copyright.PENANAKbOQ2EQa5W

I looked at the twins and we all burst out laughing at the expression on Harry's sleepy face. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAkZaC2E7hKH

"Nothin, mate. The princess was just having a tantrum is all." I grabbed one of the couch cushions and whacked George in the face.389Please respect copyright.PENANAkGDUCNXu0F
389Please respect copyright.PENANAr8t9E6UcBi
389Please respect copyright.PENANASsMileuFGz
"George Weasley, I was NOT having a tantrum!' I shouted as I felt my face redden. There was a pause as we all realized what I'd done. Then we all burst out laughing again this time with Harry joining in.389Please respect copyright.PENANAQUyPMWVqCk
389Please respect copyright.PENANACxONY49eL3
389Please respect copyright.PENANAXB3HamoBgr
"C'mon Harry! We're gonna be late if we don't hurry up and get ready!" I shouted as I yanked him from the couch and shoved him to the stairs to the boys dormitories. "I'll see you at breakfast!" I cried as I pushed open the portrait of the Fat Lady and clambered out. 389Please respect copyright.PENANA3dGBvSXrjs

"oohhh...look at Malfoy's face!"I giggled as Harry, Ron, and I walked into the great hall for breakfast. Malfoy's jaw had dropped as he saw that we were still here.389Please respect copyright.PENANAOEudgx8MBg
389Please respect copyright.PENANAhTSCaYycE1
389Please respect copyright.PENANAZPFOrrp2qY
"ya know, it was almost worth getting eaten by a giant three-headed dog, just to see that ole' git's face" Ron chuckled as we sat down and began to eat. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ420P0orN

As the owls flooded into the Great Hall as usual, our attention was caught at once by two long, thin packages carried by twelve large screech owls. I was just as amazed as Harry when the owls soared down and dropped the parcels in front of us, knocking my bacon to the floor. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAyNH43MOaMj

Luckily, Harry and I ripped open the letters first because it said:DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE. It contains your new Nimbus Two Thousand, but I don't want everybody knowing you've got a broomstick or they'll all want one. Oliver Wood will meet you tonight on the Quidditch field at seven o'clock for your first training session. Professor McGonagall 389Please respect copyright.PENANAnKYx3TQdJm

I bounced up and down in my seat barely containing my glee. 389Please respect copyright.PENANA8jzla0LYNx
389Please respect copyright.PENANAKUVSeQm5CX
389Please respect copyright.PENANAoFl1CyY6TX
"Nimbus Two Thousands!" Ron moaned enviously. "I've never even touched one." We left the hall quickly, wanting to unwrap the broomsticks in private before our first class, but halfway across the entrance hall I found the way upstairs barred by Crabbe and Goyle. 389Please respect copyright.PENANA2LnuMlZ2Ci
389Please respect copyright.PENANANFWtBAGEdk
389Please respect copyright.PENANA5o35gM9rZC
Malfoy seized the package from my hands and felt it. "That's a broomstick," he said, throwing it back to me with a mixture of jealousy and spite on his face. "You'll be in for it this time, Potter, Katrina. First years aren't allowed them." Ron couldn't resist it. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAGYIzeIH0vT
389Please respect copyright.PENANArU7nVdiZIC
389Please respect copyright.PENANAXTZhemhulm
"They're not just any old broomsticks," he said, "those are Nimbus Two Thousands. What did you say you've got at home, Malfoy, a Comet Two Sixty?" Ron grinned at us. "Comets look flashy, but they're not in the same league as the Nimbus."389Please respect copyright.PENANAfKdHecnl1r
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4txh8YFtp6
389Please respect copyright.PENANALOnWjnxaqP
"What would you know about it, Weasley, you couldn't afford half the handle," Malfoy snapped back. "I suppose you and your brothers have to save up twig by twig." Before Ron could answer or I could punch Malfoy, Professor Flitwick appeared at Malfoy's elbow. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAoPqnIT4oUu

389Please respect copyright.PENANAdLjIsVRzL3
"Not arguing, I hope, boys....and girl?" he squeaked. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAOjlJIL8IJ7
389Please respect copyright.PENANAYnBlUhqvsZ
389Please respect copyright.PENANA10pwrHt3PA
"Potter and Katrina have been sent broomsticks, Professor," said Malfoy quickly. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAzGEeqXiSiG
389Please respect copyright.PENANAPdZjy9pA0G
389Please respect copyright.PENANAzQkQsoi3aw
"Yes, yes, that's right," said Professor Flitwick, beaming at Harry and I. "Professor McGonagall told me all about the special circumstances. And what model is it?" 389Please respect copyright.PENANAZx6nT7eCc1
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8fs4UN3H24
389Please respect copyright.PENANArZXCAzXyp0
"A Nimbus Two Thousand, sir," said Harry, as I was fighting not to laugh at the look of horror on Malfoy's face. "And it's really thanks to Malfoy here that we've got them," he added. We headed upstairs and got ready for class, smothering our laughter at Malfoy's obvious rage and confusion. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAoghh7rVsWR

As seven o'clock drew nearer, Harry and I left the castle and set off in the dusk toward the Quidditch field. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAvOA9996Zeh
389Please respect copyright.PENANAueLl83kNk7
389Please respect copyright.PENANAuyD0s3cuQb
"I'm so excited, Harry!" I squealed as we made our way to the stadium. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0A3zxGCjE
389Please respect copyright.PENANAcLVq143Pg5
389Please respect copyright.PENANAKqtiaMc5xA
My jaw dropped as we stepped onto the field. I had never been inside the stadium before. Hundreds of seats were raised in stands around the field so that the spectators were high enough to see what was going on. At either end of the field were three golden poles with hoops on the end. They reminded me of the little plastic sticks Muggle children blew bubbles through, except that they were fifty feet high. 389Please respect copyright.PENANA3HAX7g0wy8

"Are you really? I had no idea!" Said Harry, rolling his eyes but smiling over at me. He has such a cute smile, I thought to myself before realizing what I was thinking. I blushed and ran over to where Oliver stood beside a giant chest that contained several oddly shaped balls. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAmcAa4RQiDl
389Please respect copyright.PENANABLzPSTpuIR
389Please respect copyright.PENANABqeU2r2c4r
"Hey, Oliver!" I cried out as I reached where he stood.389Please respect copyright.PENANAZehYKye41c
389Please respect copyright.PENANAsKXl5RGOXN
389Please respect copyright.PENANAnUvDwUpKuC
"Hey, Katrina, Harry. You guys ready?" We both nodded our heads furiously in agreement. 389Please respect copyright.PENANA9NxckwqKAT
389Please respect copyright.PENANAAX4U5jjRkC
389Please respect copyright.PENANARdxnu8idEl
After Oliver explained the rules to us he released the little golden ball he called the snitch and ordered Harry to fly around trying to catch it. As for me and him, he had us fly over to one set of the golden goal posts and threw a red ball to me that he said was a quaffle. 389Please respect copyright.PENANASxbLaWyckC
389Please respect copyright.PENANA48fsJl9JRV
389Please respect copyright.PENANAvTsMcYahXz
"Now, Katrina. I want you to throw the ball as hard as you can and try and get it through one of these three hoops!"389Please respect copyright.PENANAm4hmTBpEkv
389Please respect copyright.PENANAPN1njofTiI
389Please respect copyright.PENANAqT4yOc6VTg
"Are you crazy!" I shouted back. "What if I hit you?" 389Please respect copyright.PENANAmCHcPHr0ew
389Please respect copyright.PENANAB6VkQKcyYq
389Please respect copyright.PENANAD7MkhGZQZ6
"Don't worry about that! Just do as I say!" He argued.389Please respect copyright.PENANAKsxgQkj9eA
389Please respect copyright.PENANAGzSGwQlSVm
389Please respect copyright.PENANAMMdtgUfeUr
"Fine!" I yelled as I tossed the quaffle as hard as I could towards one of the open posts. I blinked in surprise as I watched it soar through Oliver's hands.389Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ1Td9qcn6
389Please respect copyright.PENANA51ssbuPcGT
389Please respect copyright.PENANAoDQ1vdFzJ7
"Katrina! Great job. McGonagall was right, you're amazing!" I blushed as Oliver passed the ball to me again. Oliver was so handsome! Every girl in our year thought so, but he was a (fourth?) year so there was no way he'd want anything to do with a first year like me. Besides, I was still trying to sort out my feelings for Harry!389Please respect copyright.PENANAXfhgCoGcRr
389Please respect copyright.PENANApgiYdsA3uj
389Please respect copyright.PENANA34eddUCxCw
We continued to run shooting drills while Harry chased after the snitch until Oliver was satisfied that we had the basics down.389Please respect copyright.PENANAa3qpNBTaxp

389Please respect copyright.PENANADsdWN5N4gG
389Please respect copyright.PENANApG2VvkUIAs
"That Quidditch cup'll have our name on it this year," said Oliver happily as we trudged back up to the castle. "I wouldn't be surprised if you turn out better than Charlie Weasley, Harry! and he could have played for England if he hadn't gone off chasing dragons." 389Please respect copyright.PENANALCKBqfTTso

389Please respect copyright.PENANAim9etmeTa0
We reached the entrance to my room and I said goodnight to the two of them, promising to see Harry at breakfast the following morning. I shucked of my robes, hopped in the shower, quickly finished the last of my homework for the week (yes I'm an overachiever) and then crashed on my bed from exhaustion.
