... performance. Once it was just the team left, Angelina led them all over to the side of the pitch. "All right," she said, sitting down and gesturing for them to do the same. "What'd you guys think?" Fred leaned forward in his seat. "The beaters were all pretty good," he admitted. "Not up to our standards, of course, but then who is?" George nodded, grinning. "They'll have to get up awfully early to beat us, Gred." Angelina shook her head. "Who did you like the best?" The twins looked at each other for a moment. "Thomas and Creevey," Fred informed her. "Finnegan was almost as good, but Thomas was more accurate." Angelina nodded her agreement at their assessment, before turning to Alicia and Katie. "What'd you think of the chasers?" Katie chimed in first, "Ginny was without a doubt the best. If I wasn't so sure of my position, I would be worried." Harry grinned, happy for his girlfriend. Angelina glanced over at him and rolled her eyes, smiling as well. "So Ginny… and maybe Demelza Robbins? She was pretty good as well." The chasers all nodded their agreement. "Hollister had some talent, but I think Natalie McDonald was better," she decided on one of Ginny's yearmates, and McDonald, a small and speedy second year that had surprised them all with her innovation and fearlessness on a broom, to round out the chaser reserves.

I know that doesn't really mean anything, I mean, look at me," he grinned ruefully, causing all of them to laugh. "For that matter, Dennis is muggleborn as well. Maybe if they were the same year it would make it closer, but as it is, I think Dennis is more comfortable on his broom." Angelina inclined her head once. "I agree. Now, keepers?" That conversation took longer, but they were really just deciding which of their two candidates would be the starting keeper, and which would be a reserve. What it came down to was the fact that Ron had stopped more goals. He seemed a little bit less confident in the air, but Angelina knew he had the potential, especially considering the Quidditch talent there was in that family. That decision made, the team all headed inside for lunch. XXX That evening was the first DA meeting of the term. Harry was thrilled that they hadn't lost anyone other than the seventh years from last year, and many of the new first years had been convinced to come by their housemates. Minerva had to hide a smile as she saw Harry spend the first half hour just going over Defense, as many had complained about not learning anything in Umbridge's ...
