Professor McGonagall peered sternly over her glasses at Harry.

"I want to hear you're training hard, Potter, or I may change my mind about punishing you."

Then she suddenly smiled.

"Your father would have been proud," she said. "He was an excellent Quidditch player himself."

Harry grinned. His dad? He didn't know much about his dad but he wanted to follow in his footsteps. When he turned to face the door to leave he saw Amelia being guided in by Madam Hooch her right pant leg was lifted up past her knee and there was a big long gouge running down her leg. It looked painful.

Amelia noticed Harry at the door and smiled at him. "Felw into a tree. Strang point of view it was hanging upside down from a tree with blood flowing up your leg."

A moment later an older boy with red hair and wearing Ravenclaw robes walked by and stared at Amelia. "Flew into a tree," the boy gave a nod of understanding and walked away. 

"You're joking."

It was dinnertime. Harry had just finished telling Ron what had happened when he'd left the grounds with Professor McGonagall. Ron had a piece of steak and kidney pie halfway to his mouth, but he'd forgotten all about
it.

"Seeker?" he said. "But first years never -- you must be the youngest house player in about a century, said Harry, shoveling pie into his mouth. He felt particularly hungry after the excitement of the afternoon. "Wood told me."

Ron was so amazed, so impressed, he just sat and gaped at Harry.

"I start training next week," said Harry. "Only don't tell anyone, Wood wants to keep it a secret."

Fred and George Weasley now came into the hall, spotted Harry, and hurried over.

"Well done," said George in a low voice. "Wood told us. We're on the team too -- Beaters."

"I tell you, we're going to win that Quidditch cup for sure this year,"
said Fred. "We haven't won since Charlie left, but this year's team is
going to be brilliant. You must be good, Harry, Wood was almost skipping when he told us."

"Anyway, we've got to go, Lee Jordan reckons he's found a new secret passageway out of the school."

"Bet it's that one behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy that we found in our first week. See you."

"Oh, and we heard about what o you did to Mlafoy classic," Fred said. Harry looked up at him. "Oh, thanks it's not that big a deal though." 

 "Not you, her!" Gregor pointed to Amelia who was sitting a few seats away from Harry. She looked up from her plate and smiled at the twins.

"What did she do?" Ron chuckled remembering what happened. "It was great mate."

"She threw this superspeed rock at him making him spin upside down on his broom! It was bloody brilliant" The twins shouted at the same time. Amelia blushed it wasn't that cool. 

"Thanks, but no good deed goes unpunished. I guess it was karma flying into a tree but man it was worth it," Amelia glanced down at her leg. Madam Poppy had been able to heal it well so there wasn't a scar.
