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.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOkXdYuMT8

"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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpf9UcvYw3

"I'd say about 8:30ish," Fred replied. I squealed in shock.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg5JljKxfm

"Oh my gawd, I can't believe I slept in so late!" I cried. Something shifted behind me.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B43qJyCmu

"Huh? I'm up, what's going on? What's wrong?" I heard Harry shout as he struggled to sit up next to me.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xODdefQpj

I looked at the twins and we all burst out laughing at the expression on Harry's sleepy face. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8wAU8Qvv9

"Nothin, mate. The princess was just having a tantrum is all." I grabbed one of the couch cushions and whacked George in the face.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVFjJNsuNN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFpdZZsJpN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUGJjsL9mX
"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.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqubDYMiYx

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0CXePTWHI
"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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcgdZbwwZZ

"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.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHMb3djbRd

"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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0BakizOWU

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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECpbmYIg7E

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 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cAu1b2w5i

"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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe67Np8aR6B

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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon0gwU2S3K
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyQxYahojN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhDJ5JdBWA
"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."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy20rBu0EwJ

"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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuYTst1Udi

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sYAWPkmly
"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?" 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNUjuyR8ip
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn97mnDQtt

"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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1PUBXqegE

As seven o'clock drew nearer, Harry and I left the castle and set off in the dusk toward the Quidditch field. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiNiUijFl9

"I'm so excited, Harry!" I squealed as we made our way to the stadium. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGn8gK3f2G

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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvlnPxyBO8

"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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7lFv0wWD6
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yD9U3lxhQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNiG7dfdIx

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFhquHGje5
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHsPxb6P6E
"Hey, Katrina, Harry. You guys ready?" We both nodded our heads furiously in agreement. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJGeWHgfgc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS71v0tsEE
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEyENhrsTZ
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. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzZu7jVMW5
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXVAWqfUYU
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoHS70fbVY
"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!"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSszsRVK478

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS5vhSQ2Pk
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm151S3qQE
"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.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmR8RsGbXr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGMYIVnnyt
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMig2UebzON
"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!326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd3W3Pfdqn

"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." 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzkeozLT0j

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.
