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.390Please respect copyright.PENANABG0su9MP3Q

"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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAwp4oCOwwgR

"Oh my gawd, I can't believe I slept in so late!" I cried. Something shifted behind me.390Please respect copyright.PENANAjYQdOHLEy9

390Please respect copyright.PENANAiWlShgyPWg
"Huh? I'm up, what's going on? What's wrong?" I heard Harry shout as he struggled to sit up next to me.390Please respect copyright.PENANAmmwp0cIGht

I looked at the twins and we all burst out laughing at the expression on Harry's sleepy face. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAXs9lRJMybp

"Nothin, mate. The princess was just having a tantrum is all." I grabbed one of the couch cushions and whacked George in the face.390Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ7BJ6DkSa
390Please respect copyright.PENANA2jKB8aaZ0B
390Please respect copyright.PENANAjzcnWkifbt
"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.390Please respect copyright.PENANAc20pNVmtri
390Please respect copyright.PENANAYsrkIp4PAx
390Please respect copyright.PENANAxb4xUGDmSj
"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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAlCzXpR6kbZ

"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.390Please respect copyright.PENANACX6j8pkcfo
390Please respect copyright.PENANAp9JXiYf6lP
390Please respect copyright.PENANAoSmzXewQtT
"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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANA5QjcmpFuaN

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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANA8BXEHBwqX1

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 390Please respect copyright.PENANAWlQKBshgJk

I bounced up and down in my seat barely containing my glee. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAsfkb9sYWgx
390Please respect copyright.PENANARoDA1PbJtH
390Please respect copyright.PENANAmGJeGHrzF1
"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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANANkLwVBMKkX
390Please respect copyright.PENANAfuw5u0soHl
390Please respect copyright.PENANA798NdHo2EJ
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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAtvlNNTIrNa
390Please respect copyright.PENANAlxejrAInxw
390Please respect copyright.PENANA2gmyf755fr
"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."390Please respect copyright.PENANA45C8dirxdg
390Please respect copyright.PENANAAMEGvoxmkM
390Please respect copyright.PENANADgsBO5vwKR
"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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ux0KTjnp1
390Please respect copyright.PENANAPWL79Vrlzr
390Please respect copyright.PENANAXVP8N1atmr
"Not arguing, I hope, boys....and girl?" he squeaked. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAFPR5nRGUDa
390Please respect copyright.PENANAFgEURgGPyP
390Please respect copyright.PENANAKEW0hYMb9q
"Potter and Katrina have been sent broomsticks, Professor," said Malfoy quickly. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAa83UrzL6fQ
390Please respect copyright.PENANAU12NEH5wPc
390Please respect copyright.PENANAPSsdgd42DM
"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?" 390Please respect copyright.PENANAVzz3IPeYZJ
390Please respect copyright.PENANAETjMjnsaw6
390Please respect copyright.PENANAD3eCuAgWzy
"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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAfw0iq62PSd

As seven o'clock drew nearer, Harry and I left the castle and set off in the dusk toward the Quidditch field. 390Please respect copyright.PENANASJUVkEoqZS
390Please respect copyright.PENANA7EFa13tyxb
390Please respect copyright.PENANAf5B9pjuEN6
"I'm so excited, Harry!" I squealed as we made our way to the stadium. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAtXamdHn17z
390Please respect copyright.PENANAIglMg0h5tV
390Please respect copyright.PENANAefc3S1w0wr
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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y3QnMq25U

"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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAa1jTmjSi1o
390Please respect copyright.PENANAIdQvLbr9UK
390Please respect copyright.PENANAWUACITbDoJ
"Hey, Oliver!" I cried out as I reached where he stood.390Please respect copyright.PENANAMAcPEEjmgH
390Please respect copyright.PENANAkWvT3Lu6MU
390Please respect copyright.PENANAv4AHex6E5z
"Hey, Katrina, Harry. You guys ready?" We both nodded our heads furiously in agreement. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAurjQUsugFV
390Please respect copyright.PENANAaEJBqpTVCT
390Please respect copyright.PENANA8PA4JwtlsI
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. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAHtRkXVfGMr
390Please respect copyright.PENANAsJEqUxHzry
390Please respect copyright.PENANAawRoXQFgIs
"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!"390Please respect copyright.PENANA5JKnBIZv3K
390Please respect copyright.PENANAnveiRjtHY0
390Please respect copyright.PENANA1pHTu6mSWE
"Are you crazy!" I shouted back. "What if I hit you?" 390Please respect copyright.PENANArNenp9RAAN
390Please respect copyright.PENANAXaXB0qrBdL
390Please respect copyright.PENANAjagQudCGep
"Don't worry about that! Just do as I say!" He argued.390Please respect copyright.PENANAVOpkuk1RzG
390Please respect copyright.PENANAtCFiKq3qu2
390Please respect copyright.PENANAdPC11eC6k6
"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.390Please respect copyright.PENANA3rtG0WZ0Pn
390Please respect copyright.PENANAW8qxlQLD38
390Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yh1dIrSd4
"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!390Please respect copyright.PENANAk5xg2CehST
390Please respect copyright.PENANAIhgnpoZvFd
390Please respect copyright.PENANAMGJ2VAu9Ml
We continued to run shooting drills while Harry chased after the snitch until Oliver was satisfied that we had the basics down.390Please respect copyright.PENANA06N2dqUhq5

390Please respect copyright.PENANAsUfIzj0Idg
"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." 390Please respect copyright.PENANAKWGgr6Topt
390Please respect copyright.PENANAwENvxL530w
390Please respect copyright.PENANAchKUljPxiq
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.
