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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAKQrQQ556zu

"Mornin, sunshine!" I looked up to see Fred and George grinning merrily down at me.330Please respect copyright.PENANA6g0w4wrAqA

330Please respect copyright.PENANABCrpcisZQN
"What-what's up g-guys?" I said yawning widely. They laughed at me.330Please respect copyright.PENANAF0PImGI0iN

330Please respect copyright.PENANActwK7ziLc0
"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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANA2DqRfpCKoO

"I'd say about 8:30ish," Fred replied. I squealed in shock.330Please respect copyright.PENANAfWl8Vab9KO
330Please respect copyright.PENANA7Bz5gVkn3p
330Please respect copyright.PENANAQOmJoVLmoV
"Oh my gawd, I can't believe I slept in so late!" I cried. Something shifted behind me.330Please respect copyright.PENANA0lcrY11Ror
330Please respect copyright.PENANAFtrSqHg6vt
330Please respect copyright.PENANAWYKH1RPXyj
"Huh? I'm up, what's going on? What's wrong?" I heard Harry shout as he struggled to sit up next to me.330Please respect copyright.PENANASr8xg0moVR

I looked at the twins and we all burst out laughing at the expression on Harry's sleepy face. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAELHBkcQAtj

"Nothin, mate. The princess was just having a tantrum is all." I grabbed one of the couch cushions and whacked George in the face.330Please respect copyright.PENANAkXqIaeY13U
330Please respect copyright.PENANA6jlUZw6bmS
330Please respect copyright.PENANAlMetd7rRqH
"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.330Please respect copyright.PENANA4RzHizSDuS
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhHF7vHLjtw
330Please respect copyright.PENANA5UCQQHLQmb
"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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAs4mPud16kO

"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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAwpNXi3zh95
330Please respect copyright.PENANAGkEmz7pmIW
330Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Y7JTSlzW
"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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAlxCBBSsmH0

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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAMvW4qB6fUp

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 330Please respect copyright.PENANAMf8ylgfEx4

I bounced up and down in my seat barely containing my glee. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAzYlFowxRDS
330Please respect copyright.PENANAoLCMgkXGBy
330Please respect copyright.PENANA5B91RZHBR3
"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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAoYfPTu9mnQ
330Please respect copyright.PENANAPB9PlFs09Z
330Please respect copyright.PENANAWtXTy88v4i
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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAZD9MzVK0rn
330Please respect copyright.PENANAmTtdGkhFFi
330Please respect copyright.PENANAT1TNfbSYBp
"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."330Please respect copyright.PENANAffbxNyHnrL

330Please respect copyright.PENANAoBggmTJafm
"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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANArseo0mNE8r
330Please respect copyright.PENANAFhsGxt7Ukr
330Please respect copyright.PENANAByk5Kruol7
"Not arguing, I hope, boys....and girl?" he squeaked. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAwM2vbdQf5X
330Please respect copyright.PENANAZOIkopdlqC
330Please respect copyright.PENANA2K5MgnGQGC
"Potter and Katrina have been sent broomsticks, Professor," said Malfoy quickly. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAoiZsNw6PGL
330Please respect copyright.PENANAULvpXkLi4B
330Please respect copyright.PENANArK2yKbfLti
"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?" 330Please respect copyright.PENANAg4R1x5ZnxD
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJrfBUcYhUw
330Please respect copyright.PENANAkTwWd74lkq
"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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAwv0Q5ifPLI

As seven o'clock drew nearer, Harry and I left the castle and set off in the dusk toward the Quidditch field. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAiwJzpZQKsA
330Please respect copyright.PENANA3jjyw1mdI7
330Please respect copyright.PENANA7kVrwrhFbs
"I'm so excited, Harry!" I squealed as we made our way to the stadium. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAzn9sA51V3z
330Please respect copyright.PENANAy4MiYmCF7G
330Please respect copyright.PENANAbmJNkyMlkt
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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAU9QPSpe2rm

"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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANATt4Ho7nscQ
330Please respect copyright.PENANASENQW3rwXo
330Please respect copyright.PENANACxiV7w436B
"Hey, Oliver!" I cried out as I reached where he stood.330Please respect copyright.PENANAJTfxqKHWSf
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhPLNaZULl9
330Please respect copyright.PENANAOr3ntdC6LV
"Hey, Katrina, Harry. You guys ready?" We both nodded our heads furiously in agreement. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAq3wL2k4Mk0
330Please respect copyright.PENANA4f31trWB8q
330Please respect copyright.PENANA6ab48KmzEE
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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAC5CLUuzJ2K
330Please respect copyright.PENANADRttY9LBDy
330Please respect copyright.PENANAEca3l7GMyP
"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!"330Please respect copyright.PENANAzPPqewSkrG
330Please respect copyright.PENANAPBhulvZ3mZ
330Please respect copyright.PENANAFwGseg491L

330Please respect copyright.PENANAKegj9fmrk2
330Please respect copyright.PENANAi9y1EHgM8v
"Don't worry about that! Just do as I say!" He argued.330Please respect copyright.PENANAertIjx3tt9
330Please respect copyright.PENANAjdq7rryGII
330Please respect copyright.PENANAOLIumc4O7N
"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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAH4JsncLUdX
330Please respect copyright.PENANAK7e7IbHwdY
330Please respect copyright.PENANAlOxGbe1DwL
"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!330Please respect copyright.PENANA5Npo3nfqyR
330Please respect copyright.PENANAWIp4yQsDfX
330Please respect copyright.PENANAcI9bBxK01o
We continued to run shooting drills while Harry chased after the snitch until Oliver was satisfied that we had the basics down.330Please respect copyright.PENANAjStoSuQYU3

330Please respect copyright.PENANAm3lzEl6it3
"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." 330Please respect copyright.PENANAek99Y2Tobg

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.
