    ... more to it." Blaise shrugged one shoulder. "I think she's amused by his… tendencies. She's got that whole 'ice queen' reputation, but for some reason, I think she actually likes him." Harry nodded his understanding, and spent another moment in silence, watching his girlfriend fly. She really was quite good. After a minute, he looked over at the Slytherin. "How's Malfoy been?" He sounded genuinely concerned, which was nice for Blaise to hear. He shrugged again. "As unbearable as ever. He and Parkinson are already lording their badges over the rest of us. They just brought the first years back to the common room and told them not to bother their betters." Blaise sounded disgusted. Harry was as well. "I can't believe you and Daphne didn't get it. You two deserved to be Prefect so much more." Blaise just rolled his eyes. "Unfortunately, things don't work that way in Slytherin." Harry nodded, understanding.

Saturday morning work for you?" Harry nodded. "I actually wanted to speak with you about that. Something Viktor and I talked about last year was the benefit of having a reserve team. Have you thought about maybe holding tryouts for all positions? After all, next year it'll just be me and Katie, plus whomever gets the keeper spot, assuming they're not a seventh year as well. Not to mention all the problems with injuries we've had over the last few years," he grinned ruefully, knowing that those injuries mostly involved him. Angelina thought about it. "That's a good idea, Harry, thanks. All right, I'll put the notice on the board tomorrow." She went off to speak with the other members of the team, and Harry looked over at his girlfriend.
