Catherine's POV
Quidditch season began, and it was rather depressing considering that McGonagall had said that eighth years couldn't play because it wouldn't be fair.
I huffed and turned to the eighth year dorm. After the Truth or Dare game, the eighth years really got together. The RavenClaws and HufflePuffs still weren't the nicest towards the Slytherins, but they had mellowed out and wouldn't insult Draco or I. Even had a few decent conversations with a few of them.
"We need to play Quidditch." I announced, making sure everyone could hear me.
"But McGonagall said-" Hermione began.
"We don't need to do house matches. I mean just us. We have enough people from the old teams to mash up two pretty decent teams to face off whenever they feel like it. And I don't know about you, but I wanna see who's the better seeker, Draco or Harry." I said, smirking lightly.
"It's me." Draco and Harry said at the same time, turning to glare lightly at each other afterwards.
"You haven't played Quidditch since fifth year." Harry said. Draco sneered.
"Still bet I beat you, Potter." He snapped back. I smiled.
"Then let's prove it." I said happily. "I'll go ask McGonagall if we can borrow the quidditch pitch."
"But how will we know who's team we're on?" A RavenClaw asked. I shrugged.
"New uniforms. Just for the eighth year teams. One team will be purple, the other brown. It'll match our common room colors." I explained. Everyone seemed to agree, and so I went to talk to McGonagall. She thought it was a wonderful idea, and soon, the only problem was picking who was on whose team.
"I'm teaming with Blaise." Draco said as him and Harry stood in the common room. Everyone agreed that the team captains would be the seekers.
"I'm teaming with Ron." Harry said with a shrug. And they went back and forth building their teams. Once done, the two teams turned to me.
"Now what, Kitty?" Draco asked.
"Well, team names. And lucky for you two, Seamus and I have already decided on them, as well as who will be wearing which color." I smiled wide as Seamus stood next to me with an equally wide smile.
"We originally came up with quite a list of names, but these are the two we thought would be the best." Seamus explained. "Harry's team'll be wearing brown, and will be called The Chosen Team." Seamus stated proudly. I giggled.
"Get it. Chosen one, Chosen team?" I giggled again and Seamus joined in.
"He's killed your sense of humor, Kitty." Draco said flatly. I gave an evil smile.
"Well, Dragon. You're team will be wearing purple, and the team name is." I began to snicker, soon turning into full blown laughter as I nearly bent in half, Seamus joining me.
"What the bloody hell did you name my team?" Draco bit out, getting annoyed. I finally straightened.
"I will remind you that I love you more than anything in the world, both Muggle and Wizarding." Draco blushed and smiled softly. "You're team is the MalFerrets." The smile died quickly, and the blush of endearment changed to embarrassment and fury.
"What?!" He yelled. Seamus and I were now on the floor laughing, as were a few others, including Draco's teammates. "Finnigan." He growled.
"Don't look at me." Seamus said, frowning immediately. "You're girlfriend came up with it. I'd come up with the Shining Dragons."
