I woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. I groaned as a stabbing pain filled my right side as I tried to sit up.343Please respect copyright.PENANAssE5Go9gkD

"You're up! Thank goodness! Try and keep still while I try and find something for the pain," Madam Pomfrey exclaimed when she noticed I was awake. The next hour she fussed over me like a mother hen; which I appreciated but found rather annoying after awhile. To my immense relief, Harry, Ron, and Hermione entered the room before I found myself saying anything rude. They kept me company as I ate my breakfast in bed and promised to return later to fill me in on how classes went/to give me any new homework assignments. I was counting more on Hermione on that one for obvious reasons. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAbfrih9eKNu

The weather turned cold as we entered the month of November. Madam Pomfrey kept me on bed rest which was extremely boring. I was dying to get out and stretch my legs, but she said she wanted to make triple sure I hadn't suffered any residual brain damage or something. To be honest, I think she was just unwilling to see me go yet. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAhZnaTwQEWD

I had a ton of visitors which helped pass the time though. My three friends managed to stop by at least once a day sometimes more, Minnie and Snape came by and would read me stories or catch me up on their lessons in person, and too my surprise, even Malfoy visited once...343Please respect copyright.PENANAHrZnwSTjLQ

He didn't say anything just came in and looked down at me with that strange look in his eyes again. I still didn't know what it meant so I just kept silent and pretended to be sleeping.343Please respect copyright.PENANAz0mL4Ru1ci

As the Quidditch match between Gryffindor drew nearer, I finally managed to convince Madam Pomfrey to let me leave the hospital wing and start going to classes and practice again. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAWNLlZQZPjZ

Harry and I were getting more and more nervous as Saturday approached and as we sat at the breakfast table the morning of the match, neither of us had the stomach to eat anything.343Please respect copyright.PENANAr4AFisI4c1

"Ron's right, Harry and Katrina, you're gonna need your strength today!" Wow, I never thought I'd hear Hermione say those words I thought to myself. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAF2cfOolvm2
343Please respect copyright.PENANAWJoOos5T4B
343Please respect copyright.PENANAWgf8tFJdZa
"I'm not hungry" we both said frustrated with their attempts to get us to eat. I was so nervous I couldn't even be bothered to say jinx.343Please respect copyright.PENANAuM4HWD9w2O

"Good luck today Katrina..." I suddenly heard Snape say from behind me. "...Potter," he added nodding his head in Harry's direction. "Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you - even if it is against Slytherin." I frowned. Why was he so nice to me but so cold to Harry? We all watched Snape as he limped out of the hall.343Please respect copyright.PENANA0LhfsOTXih

343Please respect copyright.PENANAIjSvWR97jk
"Blood?" Hermione asked in confusion.343Please respect copyright.PENANAEo7cRpyNoc

343Please respect copyright.PENANAQXguKXsHUZ
"Listen, on Halloween, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that three-headed dog - but he got himself bitten - that's why he's limping.343Please respect copyright.PENANAjM41gXxQ5A

"No, he wouldn't," Hermione said as her eyes went wide. 343Please respect copyright.PENANA3fHzMDHOAD
343Please respect copyright.PENANAlHqT30ySuq
343Please respect copyright.PENANAkTGiOC2UKy
"Yeah," I agreed. "He may not be very nice to you, but he wouldn't try and steal something Dumbledore was keeping safe! He's a Hogwarts professor!" I countered.343Please respect copyright.PENANALKczlz5846

"Honestly, Hermione, Katrina, you think all teachers are saints or something," snapped Ron. "I'm with Harry. I wouldn't put anything past Snape. But what's he after?"343Please respect copyright.PENANAgfXorLKevI

"I don't know but Harry and I better head down to the locker room now otherwise we're gonna be late and Oliver will shout our heads off!" I said standing up and pulling Harry out of his seat. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAbh5NHD2iHT

"Ya know, you can be kinda violent for such a shy sweet girl, Katrina," Harry complained as we made our way down to the pitch. I rolled my eyes as I grinned wickedly at him. "That's just how you know I love ya," I stuck my tongue out at him and he shook his head laughing. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAGtL42J7ZiE
343Please respect copyright.PENANAF9eK3kHzxX

We made our way into the locker room and sat down to listen to Oliver's speech. I giggled when I noticed Fred and George mouthing along word for word. When they noticed me watching them, George winked and started to include hand gestures along with the act.343Please respect copyright.PENANAGhgqJ6wgNq

"Now I want a nice clean game - from all of you!" Madam Hooch said as we all gathered around her at the center of the field. I noticed that she seemed to be speaking particularly to the Slytherin Captain, Marcus Flint. "Mount your brooms." 343Please respect copyright.PENANAFUHCGZOqFC
343Please respect copyright.PENANAiDps3Pbtgk
343Please respect copyright.PENANA7fYvBwylzA
I took a huge gulp of air and clambered onto my Nimbus Two Thousand. I kicked hard as Madam Hooch gave a loud blast on her silver whistle. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAW29FucfLYM

"And the quaffle is taken immediately by first-year Katrina playing for Gryffindor. From what I've seen, an excellent chaser and rather attractive -" I glanced around at the podium at that last part but I had to focus on the game so there was no time to feel embarrassed.343Please respect copyright.PENANAmRN9SaLyeW

"And she's belting up the field, she passes to Alicia Spinnet, off to Angelina Johnson, then back to Katrina - SHE SCORES! That's Gryffindor 10, Slytherin now in possession..."343Please respect copyright.PENANAyDrptQEwdl

The game was going well. Gryffindor was off to a great start but soon enough Slytherin had pulled ahead. They were playing rougher than expected and Fred had to step in three times to stop bludgers from crashing into me! It was just as I was grabbing the quaffle from a Slytherin player when I felt a strange vibration run along the length of my broom. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAqPW7UmfaBH

343Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2nqf1BxGR
The next thing I knew my broom had given a mighty jerk that almost unseated me. I dropped the ball in surprise and quickly wrapped my hands tightly along the wood. Fred and George came pelting over to try and help me as my broom continued to try and shake me off. Out of the corner of my eye I saw similar movements at the other end of the pitch. I squinted my eyes and gasped when I realized Harry's broom was doing the same thing! 343Please respect copyright.PENANAGlM9PfZpTY

343Please respect copyright.PENANAsIXhchmmex
"Fred, George! One of you needs to go over and help Harry!" I shouted as I continued to cling onto my broom. I couldn't tell which twin had raced off to help as I squeezed my eyes shut as I almost got unseated. One more violent jerk and I felt myself falling. I turned head over heels not knowing which way was up nor which way was down. Suddenly I felt warm arms wrap around me and the falling sensation stopped.343Please respect copyright.PENANA84CxWuFy9T

"As you wish, m'lady," he said as he bowed his head and started to head for the ground; chuckling under his breath. I opened my mouth to protest but spotted a figure on the grass wearing Gryffindor robes and a mop of familiar messy black hair.343Please respect copyright.PENANALJ3IFQxNIx

"Harry!" I screamed as we touched down and I ran over to him. He looked like he was about to be sick! Suddenly he retched and the snitch was in his hand and the crowd was cheering. I blinked in confusion. What had just happened. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAHdeEHksaQU
343Please respect copyright.PENANATaSfiMzwl4

"We WON, we WON!" Harry shouted into my ear as he hugged me tightly. Still confused but happy that we won, I joined the team in celebration as students poured onto the field.
