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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA179vnGhbc3

"Mornin, sunshine!" I looked up to see Fred and George grinning merrily down at me.393Please respect copyright.PENANAvEE5PZRIY0

393Please respect copyright.PENANAF621pQHmdA
"What-what's up g-guys?" I said yawning widely. They laughed at me.393Please respect copyright.PENANAAKAGQ9kzvh
393Please respect copyright.PENANADp8lSP3I0I
393Please respect copyright.PENANA30oAtF87JL
"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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAGhCFTxSfDL

"I'd say about 8:30ish," Fred replied. I squealed in shock.393Please respect copyright.PENANAwMByhch4Bj
393Please respect copyright.PENANAbNIVRwGpXZ
393Please respect copyright.PENANAUTjyVMaPzW
"Oh my gawd, I can't believe I slept in so late!" I cried. Something shifted behind me.393Please respect copyright.PENANAPygmhpzI57
393Please respect copyright.PENANAYUxlP8QdQv
393Please respect copyright.PENANAXTSjlrBxv5
"Huh? I'm up, what's going on? What's wrong?" I heard Harry shout as he struggled to sit up next to me.393Please respect copyright.PENANAkOwIjMhxa1

I looked at the twins and we all burst out laughing at the expression on Harry's sleepy face. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAqdaFKLUGDF

"Nothin, mate. The princess was just having a tantrum is all." I grabbed one of the couch cushions and whacked George in the face.393Please respect copyright.PENANAxPI68xEifJ
393Please respect copyright.PENANAK8rxVwuJyo
393Please respect copyright.PENANAKyONmWSsdb
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAN64xTG4lnK
393Please respect copyright.PENANAtSuTPhR5AS
393Please respect copyright.PENANAHfSu4X2FvE
"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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAtAvCdDcMCm

"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANADVyTDE4soP
393Please respect copyright.PENANAtNLN4Y3Z1a
393Please respect copyright.PENANAVhFyLvNOLg
"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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA6vhYJH95HH

393Please respect copyright.PENANAFBTr6ghjxr
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANASO5BBSZxwE

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 393Please respect copyright.PENANAAJKaRuPD8r

I bounced up and down in my seat barely containing my glee. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAszuDy717bs
393Please respect copyright.PENANAkzGMVYjcgH
393Please respect copyright.PENANAGi9o2vmwyD
"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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAvUHwhR6qSR
393Please respect copyright.PENANAcXxi38CeVi
393Please respect copyright.PENANAqK675rKMTO
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA0O3LgwacB7
393Please respect copyright.PENANAIyYWuR2c0e
393Please respect copyright.PENANAFI8NlyFAtS
"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."393Please respect copyright.PENANA8SVtpvpk3S
393Please respect copyright.PENANAcnxDFHus1h
393Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mqs7dFG7n
"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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAmzhVErBtP0
393Please respect copyright.PENANAspvu9qBg5U
393Please respect copyright.PENANA6hVHmel4SJ
"Not arguing, I hope, boys....and girl?" he squeaked. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAgySEap8uhy
393Please respect copyright.PENANAuSFQdcrQGJ
393Please respect copyright.PENANAd7N5qwCtvj
"Potter and Katrina have been sent broomsticks, Professor," said Malfoy quickly. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4oyzV02Pl
393Please respect copyright.PENANAqQXXOXOG2E
393Please respect copyright.PENANArjs1ecZlK9
"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?" 393Please respect copyright.PENANA0uxrcPIIAI
393Please respect copyright.PENANArzarMSPh4Y
393Please respect copyright.PENANAZ23Z8bMX9A
"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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAPDPMJ8ZV1x

As seven o'clock drew nearer, Harry and I left the castle and set off in the dusk toward the Quidditch field. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA1cfk6riPnr
393Please respect copyright.PENANALqOPNT7nCA
393Please respect copyright.PENANAKaJzzhDPps
"I'm so excited, Harry!" I squealed as we made our way to the stadium. 393Please respect copyright.PENANASqzT9gASr7
393Please respect copyright.PENANAgd7zFWHXvF
393Please respect copyright.PENANAErQm2dj3Td
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANANX3LmUSMTr

"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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA8shM54LNXO
393Please respect copyright.PENANAPV1Q72lFlH
393Please respect copyright.PENANATWKuJuptg2
"Hey, Oliver!" I cried out as I reached where he stood.393Please respect copyright.PENANAvdO4HoLMAq
393Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7B7CZ3VIu
393Please respect copyright.PENANAeN7L0niBQk
"Hey, Katrina, Harry. You guys ready?" We both nodded our heads furiously in agreement. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA3hb2lKIu1S
393Please respect copyright.PENANA7fIEPqL7wb
393Please respect copyright.PENANAOVAQXjDD73
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z8KmZgY9g
393Please respect copyright.PENANA7RdT85Pi74
393Please respect copyright.PENANAYVbfMxevk0
"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!"393Please respect copyright.PENANA025pNh3pZj
393Please respect copyright.PENANAQVi8pF2NXn
393Please respect copyright.PENANAtQqbqmPEFU
"Are you crazy!" I shouted back. "What if I hit you?" 393Please respect copyright.PENANA8I2X6fAvRm
393Please respect copyright.PENANAN5s9PY5jd5
393Please respect copyright.PENANA62qjvRr4QN
"Don't worry about that! Just do as I say!" He argued.393Please respect copyright.PENANAAwof27T1Uk
393Please respect copyright.PENANA2hQkgOIB34
393Please respect copyright.PENANAv6JzR7eknB
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAQnPzK4zbxS
393Please respect copyright.PENANAOWgwtPUZS9
393Please respect copyright.PENANAP6EDYlrhyr
"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!393Please respect copyright.PENANAQkXI4aEv12
393Please respect copyright.PENANAugVLedsZw1
393Please respect copyright.PENANAS6oQrpx664
We continued to run shooting drills while Harry chased after the snitch until Oliver was satisfied that we had the basics down.393Please respect copyright.PENANASSUqqsr4XP
393Please respect copyright.PENANAOCYaYh8XSx
393Please respect copyright.PENANAbdtlyRdy8W

393Please respect copyright.PENANACeht0xgFNd
393Please respect copyright.PENANAMaSk2ehmZ2
"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." 393Please respect copyright.PENANA8018ovF3ja
393Please respect copyright.PENANAxngcAFXyC9
393Please respect copyright.PENANArsNSYtshbJ
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.
