The next morning the sun rose once again but no heat could be felt from it, it was each day more evident that winter came and it was staying for a while.

Thea woke up strangely on her bed. She felt someone shaking her, it was Hermione.- "Thea, wake up! You're going to be late for your first match."- Thea stood us as the realisation hit her, and she began running around to get things done; she got the broom from under her bed, her quidditch equipment and she started running as fast as she could to the field were everyone was almost ready. If she had arrived one minute late she wouldn't have made it.

When she arrived at the Quidditch field, she saw for an instant the stands full of students anxious for the game to start and everyone was chatting amongst each other about who they thought would win.

Meanwhile, in the locker room everyone already in their scarlet Quidditch robes, were waiting impatiently for Thea.

-Sorry, I'm so sorry.

-"Thank god you're here! Now, everyone... this is the best team Gryffindor's had in years. We are going to win. I know it." - Said Oliver as he looked at everyone with trust and hope.

Then, just as he finished his speech Madam Hooch called both the teams into the field. She stood in the field, waiting for the green and scarlet teams.

Thea stood next to Harry as they followed the rest of the team out of the locker room, Thea didn't say a word nor look at Harry, she still thought about what she had told him the night before.

-"Now, I want a nice fair game, all of you. "- She said once everyone gathered around her, giving a look to all the Slytherin players.

Thea looked over at Harry, he seemed rather nervous and couldnt contain herself from saying a few words to her friend. "Harry, it's going to be alright. We trained a lot and we are good at our skills. I believe in you." She told him. Harry changed his posture and his confidence seemed better. "Thank you, Thea." Just in time, Madam Hooch gave a loud blast on her silver whistle and the game started.

Brooms high into the air and Madam Hooch kicked the box where The Bludgers and The Golden Snitch flew out.

"The Bludgers are up, followed by The Golden Snitch, remember the Snitch is worth 150 points. The seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game." Lee Jordan narrates.

The Snitch flies around barely seen by how fast it goes, Madam Hooch grabs the Quaffle releasing it giving the start of the game.

"Gryffindor's new chaser. First-year Wolbellthorn Girl takes possession of the ball and zooms past the Slytherin as she attempts a trick... And Dorothea Wolbellthorn scores! 10 points to Gryffindor"

Harry claps while in the air, looking for The Snitch. A Bludger zooms past him. "Whoa!"

"Slytherin takes possession of the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint." Lee Jordan narrates not so animated.

Flint dodges people and throws for the Gryffindor hoops. Oliver appears and whacks the ball away with his broom. He smirks at Flint, who glares. Two Slytherin players pass the Quaffle back and forth as they try to score. Johnson takes it, throws, and once again scores!

In the stands Gryffindor cheers.

"Another 10 points to Gryffindor" Lee Jordan announces.

The Slytherins decide to get messy. They dodge, kick, and try to score. Once again, Oliver blocks.

"Give me that!" Flint says as he grabs a beater's bat from one and whacks a Bludger right at Oliver. It hits Oliver directly in the stomach and he plummets to the ground, knocked out.
