Slytherin had their first quidditch match at the end of October against Ravenclaw. Harry was filled with bloodthirsty anticipation. They were going to crush the ravens and he could not wait. He spent the week leading up to the match reviewing tactics and plays obsessively, ambushing his teammates any time he could find them to make sure they were ready. He pestered them at meals to eat more carbs and protein, and sent them to bed if he saw them in the common room late at night to make sure they were physically ready for the match.
