    ... Creevey and one of his yearmates Ritchie Coote in the group of beaters. His own group of seekers included several second years – Evan and Sheila – and Dennis Creevey, now a boisterous third year. Ron had been joined in the keeper group by one seventh year, a sixth year, and a girl in Ginny's year, Victoria Frobisher. Angelina had everyone fly two laps around the pitch first, to get them all warmed up, and immediately asked the first years to leave when it was clear that they hadn't flown more than a couple of times before. Next, she got the chasers into the air, and had the keepers go up one by one. She had each chaser make five shots against each keeper, observing both groups to see whom she wanted to further study. The fourth year keeper hopeful, Vicky, as she had asked to be called, was eliminated after the first round, as were four of the chasers who couldn't make more than two shots each. Angelina had the chasers all go again against the remaining three keeper candidates, and eliminated the sixth year keeper hopeful, in addition to another eight chasers who made fewer than three shots. She then asked the six remaining chasers and the two keepers to return to the ground, while they spent some time with the seekers.

She had asked for him specifically to help her with the seekers, since he would know what kinds of things to look for. "What do you think?" Angelina asked, not taking her eyes off the seeker wannabes. Harry studied the three students for another moment. "Sheila and Evan are both small and speedy, which is good, but neither of them are really experienced enough to pull off some of the more complicated seeker moves." Angelina nodded, understanding. "What about Creevey?" Harry watched the excitable third year. "He needs some training, but he's got talent. If you had to pick one, he's the one I'd go with." Angelina nodded again. "And your second choice?" Harry observed the two second years. "Sheila," he decided. "She's more comfortable on her broom." The new Captain smiled at her star seeker. "Good eye." Harry blushed, but nodded his thanks. A moment later, Dennis banked and went into a dive, coming up victorious, with a snitch clutched in his hand. Angelina told him to take a seat with the others, and they waited for the second snitch to be found. It took another five minutes for Sheila to find the snitch, and her extra comfort on her broom proved to give her the edge, as she beat out her friend and yearmate. Harry ...
