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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAcA7K9WfoQ4

"Mornin, sunshine!" I looked up to see Fred and George grinning merrily down at me.306Please respect copyright.PENANAY7j1Yp8Pte

306Please respect copyright.PENANAcFsilcQ28G
"What-what's up g-guys?" I said yawning widely. They laughed at me.306Please respect copyright.PENANA5pF3bLr5uX

"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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAgtorP71QvR

"I'd say about 8:30ish," Fred replied. I squealed in shock.306Please respect copyright.PENANAoKonvsDUzg
306Please respect copyright.PENANA6QCCieNOUW
306Please respect copyright.PENANAzpo0RHdBTS
"Oh my gawd, I can't believe I slept in so late!" I cried. Something shifted behind me.306Please respect copyright.PENANAcmmXehlYVb

306Please respect copyright.PENANAB8gWTyjazh
"Huh? I'm up, what's going on? What's wrong?" I heard Harry shout as he struggled to sit up next to me.306Please respect copyright.PENANAlNFPzetu77

I looked at the twins and we all burst out laughing at the expression on Harry's sleepy face. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAsivgTkuLHn

"Nothin, mate. The princess was just having a tantrum is all." I grabbed one of the couch cushions and whacked George in the face.306Please respect copyright.PENANA2xZXnPjJ1i
306Please respect copyright.PENANALjPGmgO7M1
306Please respect copyright.PENANAo8uJlqoIqt
"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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAERjHZse33o
306Please respect copyright.PENANAO6p8n58J9k
306Please respect copyright.PENANAkzuqd2pWsO
"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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAjfYDWvg0tx

"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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAbreS5oe15T
306Please respect copyright.PENANAhfqlQqJkZt
306Please respect copyright.PENANAovVSNTWBpo
"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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAfifdexksY8

306Please respect copyright.PENANAlPuLcRXwgt
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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANASeGqoJySxp

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 306Please respect copyright.PENANA0bkGGsPpXB

I bounced up and down in my seat barely containing my glee. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9N6OqY7sb
306Please respect copyright.PENANAzwZVBHlJEt
306Please respect copyright.PENANAYykEncH7s7
"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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAgAEkDOxzOn
306Please respect copyright.PENANACxJYbbS3U8
306Please respect copyright.PENANAdO9CFN9wuE
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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAD3XXUsTSyq
306Please respect copyright.PENANALUKuncVgUb
306Please respect copyright.PENANA7rGYJnAf3P
"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."306Please respect copyright.PENANAQXS8rn8fig

306Please respect copyright.PENANAPL7aCDdRva
"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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANA0mqfGewhfU
306Please respect copyright.PENANA1K1GzvCWSM
306Please respect copyright.PENANAf9ainqSD9z
"Not arguing, I hope, boys....and girl?" he squeaked. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAIwXgjyQUHX
306Please respect copyright.PENANAgSABOeNxld
306Please respect copyright.PENANAIjrIqCy1N1
"Potter and Katrina have been sent broomsticks, Professor," said Malfoy quickly. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAot1Hk3Qllq
306Please respect copyright.PENANAjjaM3mk1wY
306Please respect copyright.PENANA21LgVBCXIG
"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?" 306Please respect copyright.PENANAvWzznYc4GL
306Please respect copyright.PENANA1UrSVmvmV9
306Please respect copyright.PENANAa0IHK1ujQk
"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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAiH2surDFBl

As seven o'clock drew nearer, Harry and I left the castle and set off in the dusk toward the Quidditch field. 306Please respect copyright.PENANA2j236FD4wt
306Please respect copyright.PENANAlKOdYEvwk9
306Please respect copyright.PENANA0XYwk6OKvx
"I'm so excited, Harry!" I squealed as we made our way to the stadium. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAZW2e0dim2q
306Please respect copyright.PENANAP1PumpbWC6
306Please respect copyright.PENANA3xNBYJLorm
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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAqJlsyCczBe

"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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAk3l4QNPvVm
306Please respect copyright.PENANATqf55MrYdz
306Please respect copyright.PENANAGDFqlCFs1b
"Hey, Oliver!" I cried out as I reached where he stood.306Please respect copyright.PENANAWSZqqUmpRG
306Please respect copyright.PENANAaczAC9YnXy
306Please respect copyright.PENANAT3RKK27mLd
"Hey, Katrina, Harry. You guys ready?" We both nodded our heads furiously in agreement. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAF4Vr32McQq
306Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zzd7Jdtqe
306Please respect copyright.PENANALKa6isCjPb
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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANARonFoUWm9P
306Please respect copyright.PENANApT1GAViDBE
306Please respect copyright.PENANAJKDI6ZT6Ov
"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!"306Please respect copyright.PENANAub118VsMQB
306Please respect copyright.PENANAQaGFjGR1EW
306Please respect copyright.PENANAWCZS7kFiPS
"Are you crazy!" I shouted back. "What if I hit you?" 306Please respect copyright.PENANAG4a4AKlKjR
306Please respect copyright.PENANAerOOdYSNZK
306Please respect copyright.PENANAIsxgGI9nAK
"Don't worry about that! Just do as I say!" He argued.306Please respect copyright.PENANATwuICQ0Fw2
306Please respect copyright.PENANAfF7jC9qgU0
306Please respect copyright.PENANAEimPrTRsXC
"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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAbMoeIian9j
306Please respect copyright.PENANApJ7U2huX0U
306Please respect copyright.PENANAieIsUOrOgP
"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!306Please respect copyright.PENANAEsM7qNuaCD
306Please respect copyright.PENANAUqyZ2T3lpb
306Please respect copyright.PENANASSQ2D62yb0
We continued to run shooting drills while Harry chased after the snitch until Oliver was satisfied that we had the basics down.306Please respect copyright.PENANAwmmUD9HOIw

306Please respect copyright.PENANAariSqxSuYw
"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." 306Please respect copyright.PENANAFG3NSEvAqd

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.
