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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJGM5WVl2t

"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJEYVV7HTA

"Nothin, mate. The princess was just having a tantrum is all." I grabbed one of the couch cushions and whacked George in the face.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyzs7ShBAP
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQOFleTPYo
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ETStKbdfA
"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcDFZH9uzG

"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQOICVEMyV

"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN5hMCRHBw

"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26vjDqgimk

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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Hu4f4zp0

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 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjj4iOoBrB

"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEksTVBRrv7

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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNKHUgQlgg
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkzwh6szY0
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Ezq94BWx
"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."305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd40gwjIGbE

"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQQ9MFthJJ

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvF03lET3m

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4exZdiqZD
"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?" 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2objAeB8c
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDF649XwUF

"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWoppOP2yI

As seven o'clock drew nearer, Harry and I left the castle and set off in the dusk toward the Quidditch field. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsNYuJH8Ha

"I'm so excited, Harry!" I squealed as we made our way to the stadium. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdfW0tqCFA
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOD7ur0II
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ335JNXE0TV
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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpsvsxf6M8

"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweZWXdU8pV

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLIGjnbmYM
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ2nDJ0N1L
"Hey, Katrina, Harry. You guys ready?" We both nodded our heads furiously in agreement. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBMaaWaB2Z
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDTdWfADYz
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9UMww643H
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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYfZceNEJ6

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9keY63AOhc
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWM8c3gD3I
"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9soikt5Nm

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfete3YO9eJ
"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!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNuEmHWih8

"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." 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWwnT5NIOQ

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.
