[The Gryffindor Quidditch team -- Harry, Aurora, Fred, George, KATIE BELL, and ANGELINA JOHNSON -- trail Oliver Wood through the courtyard, toward the distant  Quidditch pitch. Several students are outside, studying.]

"Quidditch! Quidditch! Quidditch!" James and Sirius chanted, along with future generation Quidditch fans.

Wood: I spent the summer devising a whole new Quidditch program. We're going to train earlier, harder, and longer! [squinting] What the... I don't believe it!

"What?" James frowned. 

[Crossing the courtyard from the other side are SEVEN BOYS in GREEN ROBES, also carrying broomsticks. At their lead is MARCUS FLINT, trollish Slytherin Captain. Ron, sitting at a table with Hermione, looks up.]

Ron: Uh-oh. I smell trouble.

Wood: Clear out, Flint! I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today.

Flint: Easy, Wood. I've got a note.

"A note?" Sirius questioned.

[As Wood snatches the PARCHMENT from Flint's hand, Ron and Hermione come up to join the others.]

Wood: I, Professor Severus Snape, do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice today, owing to the need to train their new Seeker.               [looking up] You've got a new Seeker? Who?

[A pasty-faced boy pushes to the front. It's... Malfoy.]

"What?" James yelled.

"You gotta be joking." Sirius groaned.

Harry: Malfoy?

Draco: That's right.

Wood: Well, we've got a new player too. [Points to a pale Aurora]

Flint: [Snorts] A mudblood? You sure she can play? [Slytherins laugh.]

"You troll of a boy!" Julianne glared at Flint.

Draco: And for us, that's not all that's new this year...

[As one, the seven Slytherins hold out seven brand-new GLEAMING BROOMSTICKS. The Gryffindors look stunned.]

"Shit." James said earning a scold from Lily.

Ron: Those are Nimbus Two Thousand Ones.

Flint: A generous gift from Draco's father.

"More like bribery." Sirius snorted.

"I have to say, Malfoy Senior was rubbish at Quidditch." Julianne muttered.

Draco: That's right, Weasley. You see, unlike some, my father can afford to buy the best.

"Spoiled princess." Tonks rolled her eyes.

Hermione: At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent.

"Go Hermione!!" 

Draco: No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood.

Everyone gasped as Draco sunk in his seat.

[Everyone reacts as if Malfoy has said something horrific-- everyone save Harry, who looks puzzled.]

"Oh Harry." Lily shook her head.
