When Hermione looked up, surprise written clearly on her face, Ginny shrugged while Harry smiled. "Harry's the one who came up with the idea," she admitted. "I knew your name comes from one of his plays, and even the wizarding world knows that Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers of all time."

Last year's starters and reserves stood off to one side, while all the other hopefuls crowded in the center of the Pitch. Harry arrived with Ron and Ginny after breakfast, and the two Weasleys went to join the group of previous team members, after wishing Harry good luck. Harry smiled thankfully as he looked at the crowd in front of him. Ron had helped him a lot in coming up with some good plays that they would certainly implement this year. The youngest male Weasley was truly gifted when it came to strategy. Harry cleared his throat. "Good morning, everyone, thanks for coming."
