"WELCOME TO THE FIRST MATCH OF THE SEASON!" Hermione was pulled out of her musing as Lee Jordan yelled through the magically enhanced megaphone. TODAY WE WATCH AS GRYFFINDOR GOES AGAINST SLYTHERIN!" the stands of students erupted into cheering."HERE IS THE GRYFFINDOR TEAM! LED BY THEIR CAPTAIN OLIVER WOOD!" Wood flew out on his broom followed by his teammates, each appearing as their names were shouted. "WEASLEY AND WEASLEY! JOHNSON, SPINNET AND BELL! POTTER!" Hermione, Luna, Daphne and Pansy all cheered for Fred and George gaining confused looks from Slytherins who were not privy to the relationship between Harry and Fred. They chuckled when Lee had managed to sound disappointed when announcing boy wonders name before booing loudly with the rest of their house as he flew out on a new Nimbus 2001. The Slytherins were surprised when many Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs joined the booing, apparently no one was impressed with the way he used his fame to get what he wanted. "AND THE SLYTHERIN TEAM LED BY CAPTAIN MARCUS FLINT!" Lee shouted, the Slytherin’s as one raised together and started screaming and stomping their feet, drowning out the boos from the Gryffindors. "ZABINI AND NOTT! PUCEY AND MONTAGUE! BLETCHLEY! RIDDLE!" Hermione couldn't help herself cheering loudly for her soulmate and twin Brother. "BOTH TEAMS HAVE MADE CHANGES THIS YEAR! GRYFFINDOR NEEDING A NEW SEEKER SINCE THE BEST SEEKER THEY HAD, MAX JORDAN, SADLY GRADUATED." "JORDAN!" collectively the school laughed as McGonagall scolded the teen before he could start regaling stories of the "awesomeness’ of his older brother. Her voice coming through the megaphone just as clearly despite not shouting. "Stick to the important facts and the game."Yes Professor." He agreed before going back to commentating with exuberance. BUT WILL WOOD REGRET THE DECISION TO GIVE THE POSITION TO SECOND YEAR HENRY POTTER? FLINT MADE A SIMILAR DECISION LAST YEAR WITH HARTFORD RIDDLE, BUT JUST BECAUSE IT PAID OFF FOR THE SLYTHERIN TEAM DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL FOR THE GRYFFINDOR TEAM! TODAY WILL BE THE DECIDING GAME PEOPLE!" "JORDAN!" "Sorry Professor." Jordan was quick to apologise and to return to his speech, much to Hermione’s amusement. "CAPTAIN MARCUS FLINT ALSO CHOSE TO GO YOUNG WITH HIS REPLACEMENT BEATERS. NOTT AND ZABINI ARE SECOND YEARS LIKE TEAMMATE RIDDLE. NEVER BEFORE HAS THE SLYTHERIN TEAM HAD THIS MANY PLAYERS FROM THE YOUNGER YEARS! THE TALENT MUST BE TRUE FOR FLINT TO TAKE THE RISKS!"
