Asher's POV

It was finally Saturday, meaning the first match of the Quidditch season and I finally got to see Oliver and Charlie in action after hearing so much about them. We made our way to the pitch early, Percy said he'd take us so we can get the best seats, right at the front, where we can see all the action. It was quite a view, I wondered what it'd be like to be on the pitch with this view. Then the commentator began to announce the teams. Slytherin team was announced first and then Gryffindor teams flew out, a girl with bright pink, choppy hair made her way over to us, she had a yellow and black jumper on, Hufflepuff colours.

"Hey Percy!" She yelled over the crowd. "Who are these lot?"
"First years!" He yelled back. "Fred and George, Charlie and I's younger brothers, Asher Lupin, Amelia Lestrange, Samantha Wood, Jaxon and Nathan James, Lee Jordan and Riley Grace!" He yelled, pointing to each of us in turn.
"Hey! I'm Nymphadora Tonks! But, please call me Tonks, I don't like my first name!"
"Okay!" The twins then yelled.

We all turned to watch the game. It was intense, Gryffindor Chasers scoring left, right and centre, only to be taken down by Bludgers. Oliver got a Bludger to the arm but it got healed quickly so we could continue the game. We got to about Gryffindor, 90 - Slytherin, 70. This was about twenty minutes into the game as well, and it was cold.
"C'MON CHARLIE! CATCH THE F*CKING SNITCH YOU IDIOT!" Tonks yelled over the crowds and the wind that had sprung up during the game. Then loud and wild cheers came from the Gryffindor supporters as Charlie rose higher into air, clutching the tiny golden snitch in his hand. The Slytherins began to boo loudly as the Gryffindor team flew laps around the pitch in victory.

We ran down to the pitch to congratulate the Gryffindor team on their win.
"WOO!" Tonks yelled, jumping at Charlie, but she misjudged her jump and fell to the floor.
"You good?" Charlie asked, pulling her up off of the grass.
"Yeah!" She said, properly jumping at him for a a hug this time.
"That was a sick catch though!" I complimented.
"Why thank you!" Charlie said, doing a fake bow to me. "Why thank you good sir!"

We heard Oliver say, "C'mon, party in the Gryffindor common room!" When he saw how confused we were, he added, "We do it every year to celebrate the first win of the season!"
"Yup! It's tradition you could say!" One of the Chasers said. "Let's go!"

The party was good, however being a first year, I couldn't drink jack sh*t, except butterbeer, that was amazing, it tastes like heaven.

The days kept flying by just like this, and so did Quidditch matches. Ravenclaw VS Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff smashed it with new Chasers. Our first game after we return to school is Ravenclaw VS Slytherin, they're both extremely competitive, I've seen both teams play, just never against each other. Full moons were alright, I just hoped Dad had been okay through them. Christmas holidays were on their way and it was clear, everybody was talking about it.

"What are you guys doing for Christmas?" Amelia asked, as we all did homework in the library, it took so long to get the twins to come though.
"I think I'm going home, I want to see my parents." Riley said with a smile. "I've been feeling homesick, so I think it'll be good."
"Yeah, we're going home as well." George said, looking up from his D.A.D.A book.
"Please tell me I'm not the only one staying here." Amelia said, looking at the rest of us.
"I'm staying," Sam said, placing a hand on the other girls shoulder.
"Same here!" Jax and Nathan said at the same time.
"I'm going home," I said. "I don't want my Dad to be alone for Christmas." I obviously didn't say that it was full moon on Boxing Day, for the fact that I can't reveal my secret.
"Is it just you and your dad then?" Amelia asked.
"Yeah, my mum died when I was three."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Sam said, offering me a smile.
"It's alright." I said, smiling. "I'll send you guys something via owl post."
"You'll have to send us something using your owl though, ours is old and collapses all the time." Fred said, looking back at his essay. "Why does Snape make our essays so long?"
"Cause he hates children." I said, earning a laugh from everyone.
