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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyrjQtJx9a

"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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy4KQzevIP

"Oh my gawd, I can't believe I slept in so late!" I cried. Something shifted behind me.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh9kgJ7xaC

"Huh? I'm up, what's going on? What's wrong?" I heard Harry shout as he struggled to sit up next to me.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoxPCv5oLW

I looked at the twins and we all burst out laughing at the expression on Harry's sleepy face. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qaaPbodz1

"Nothin, mate. The princess was just having a tantrum is all." I grabbed one of the couch cushions and whacked George in the face.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeEIvf8SM3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIIZW5qSvZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw2w64WhTo
"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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdJYGanBab

"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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM6O8bPe73

"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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MEZqkoqDy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqMdjCqMUK
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD14Mp3OIs
"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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECcFwMbOgt

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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcJSKf42m8

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 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxbDGuVeTn

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt0FI40Y1K
"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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTstNjgMKmJ

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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L9X9XZskW
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM1nGwbBWz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLoDtIlCCv
"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."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQc6Wt348V

"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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR12L9Tk5UE

"Potter and Katrina have been sent broomsticks, Professor," said Malfoy quickly. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa07bBcqBia

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFS4pNO9j8
"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?" 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcatl7HtEv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHExWsSHx39
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngjzFUWPZS
"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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9IPetgPE

As seven o'clock drew nearer, Harry and I left the castle and set off in the dusk toward the Quidditch field. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84kXZPBOcW

"I'm so excited, Harry!" I squealed as we made our way to the stadium. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1EBsZ8suV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEfhacorwP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzRl4BCUec
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32hCsaNQ7I

"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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy9FGIlqbl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkFBY5Tc7b
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tIzMR8uX6

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZb5XbA75N
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS3mZHhS3z
"Hey, Katrina, Harry. You guys ready?" We both nodded our heads furiously in agreement. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboaCUMoLL6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJJNZEYlbV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1V9scoHy8
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCgFskYaZ3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcPCh2RT5J
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcuGBv7EL2
"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!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdntZ3oeh

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fBijk4rOc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLccSDkCMLK
"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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6hrSD3h6w
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO7lZRiDAR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis1YR6HS6V
"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!316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVMQacfLIr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FtYAt2xgL

"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." 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPrtsacvzH

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.
