Summary: Katie Bell tries out for the Quidditch team.
-
Katie Bell saw three things before she was knocked out.
First, she saw her old best friend Rita holding hands with Tony, the third year Katie used to fancy until she heard some of the nasty things he said behind girls’ backs.
Second, she saw Oliver Wood, Gryffindor’s Keeper and team captain, deflect the Quaffle that she’d hurled at the hoop.
And third, she saw red. A lot of red.
When she opened her eyes, she was flat on her back in the middle of the Quidditch pitch, her back was an agony of bruised muscles, and Wood had her by the hand, shaking it enthusiastically.
“Great work, Bell!” he was exclaiming as he hauled her none-too-gently to her feet. Katie tried to keep from wincing. “I’ve never had to work so hard to hold off a second-year! I can’t wait to see you in action against Slytherin!”
Katie stared at him. “That’s it? I’m in?”
“You’re in!” Wood beamed at her. “Welcome to the team, love!”
