"Well, open it already!" said Ron. Harry opened the letter. Shock and amazement flooded over him.
"What does it say?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah, let me see," said Ron. Harry handed the letter to Ron and Hermione.
"WHAT?" shouted Ron and Hermione together. "YOU GOT ACCEPTED ON THE SILLY NERDS QUIDDITCH TEAM!!!" yelled Ron.
Everybody turned to look at Ron. "Ron, lower your voice!" whispered Hermione.
"Harry, I don' think you should go," said Hermione.
"You can't be serious!" said Ron.
"I agree with Ron," said Harry. "What do you mean I can't go?"
"You'll miss a lot of school and education is more important than sports," said Hermione.
For the first time ever, Harry actually thought Hermione hated him.
"Harry's eighteen. He can make his own decision," said Ron.
Now Ginny comes in. "Who can make his own decision?" she says.
"Ron and Hermione are fighting about whether or not I should go," Harry said.
"Go where?" Ginny asked.
"He got accepted on a national quidditch team," said Ron.
"And I don't think he should go," Hermione said. "Don't you agree with me, Ginny? Education is more important."
"For once, I agree with Ron. But I also think Harry is old enough to make his own decision."
Hermione scowled as she folded her arms. "Hmph."
Then, Ginny's great horned owl swooped in with the same blue envelope. Ginny opened the letter, reads it, and her mouth falls open. "I got accepted on the Silly Nerds Quidditch Team, too!"
Harry says, "That's great! We can be on the same quidditch team!"
Then Ron's owl, Pigwidgeon, came swooping in and dropped the familiar blue envelope. "I think I got accepted, too" said Ron. "Yep, it's the Silly Nerds team."
"But it's only tryouts," said Harry.
"Apparently the tryouts are in two hours," Ginny said.
"Well then let's get moving," said Ron.
"You guys better apparate once you're outside Hogwarts grounds," said Hermione.
"But I'm only just learning how to apparate," Ginny said.
"I'll take you with me," said Harry.
"And I'll come for support," said Hermione. "And while you guys are getting your Firebolts and quidditch supplies, I'll tell Professor McGonnagal about the tryouts and that if you make the team, you'll be gone for a couple months."
"I thought you didn't want to come," said Ron.
"It's better than staying here alone," Hermione said.
When they got to tryouts, the team captain who would would be watching them was named Polly Chapmon. She said Harry caught the snitch so fast it only seemed like 10 seconds. She also said Ron was the best Keeper she had ever seen. And also that Ginny was an amazing Chaser and that even she wasn't that good.
They all made the team. And Hermione ran out onto the field to congratulate them.
"So now you're OK with it," said Ron.
"Oh, shut up," said Hermione.
That night, when Harry went to bed, he had a strange dream about him, but not as an 18-year-old, but as a toddler playing with these two strange girls in what seemed like Godric's Hollow.
