The sky was an unbelievable bright blue with only a few clouds flying over head. Tim looked out upon the school from a stair well in the Divination Tower. They all looked happy and cheerful. Unfortunately Tim had no friends at the present time. He was incredibly bored, but didn’t want to be a dork on his first day and hang out with his sister.
He wished he could just walk up to a group of people and strike up a conversation, but he was never good with first impressions. He always seemed to mumble and fall over himself, and that is just walking up to the group…

Sam stumbled up the Divination Towers stairs. He had left his friends to come and look for some andventure and mischeif. Not looking where he was going he tripped over the stairs and landing on somebody and colliding into the ground.
"I'm so sorry. I mean. I just." He mumbled, not making any sense at all.
He got up and dusted himself off. He put out his hand to help the boy up.

Tim took the hand of the boy and stood up. "That's ok. It isn't like I was doing anything important any way." Tim said shyly.

"Oh ok then. I'm Sam, what are you doing up here?" He said loudly. Sam extended his hand infront of the boy.

Tim looked at the boy then out the window again. The sun was reflecting off the lake and onto nearby students.
"There is just nothing better to do, thought I'd come up here had a geaze then find something better to do?" He smiled uneasily. "You?"

"You know, play a little prank here and there. The usual." He said with a cheeky grin. Sam wondered what was so great about what was outside the window. He started to look over Tim's shoulderand ou the window. Sam rasied his lip. "Interesting." He said sarcasticaly.

"Indeed." Tim said blankly. He tried to think of something to say. This awkward silence was tense. "Ummm....What subjects are you taking?"

Sam thought for a moment, thinking about what subjects he had taken this year. "Meh, I can't really remember. I think Herbology and Potions are a couple. You?" Sam asked curiously. 'Subjects?Why the flip are we talking about subjects?' He thought. Subjects were not the usual thing Sam would talk about but it would do. Anything to avoid the dreaded silence.

"Umm... I think Potions and Transfiguration is some I'm doing. I can't remember the rest." Tim replied blankly. Riiight this conversation is going absolutly no-where, time to change the topic.
"Do you like...Quidditch?" He asked. This is the only topic Tim seemed to be good at talking about. He wasn't a very good topic starter.

"Finally, something good to talk about. Sam thought.
"Of course. I love Quidditch. I want to join the Ravenclaw team you see but I'm not sure quite how to. Oh I'm Sam by the way." He exclaimed happily.
Sam's feet were getting really sore. He was almost sure he had a blister on the back of his heal. There were no seats in the Divination Tower so Sam just sat on one of the stairs and started to take off his shoe.
"Do you play? he asked curiously, looking up at the boy.

Yess this boy liked Quidditch.
"Tim O'Maley. Why actually now that you ask. I am the Gryffindor Team Captain. A Beater." He said proudly. "Do you play??"

Sam though about how he played back at home. The wonderful times he had playing Quidditch with his father, uncle and his cousins around the backyard and on the farm.
"Awesome! I play at home. I've never really had time to try out for the Quidditch team here at school but i sure would like to this year. It would be great." He said with great enthusiasm.

"You should try out for your team. It would be fun to have some 'friendly' house competition." He chuckled when he said 'friendly'. House games were never 'friendly'. They were always brutal and full of excitement. If anything they were the furthest from friendly as anything could be.

"Yeah I should. I tried last year and got in with flying colours but i couldn't play because of my arm was playing up, stupid thing. I had to take this horrible medicine all year. It was foul. It tasted like a.......a Red Cap smoothy. Well it's not like i've hade one but if your imagination is fantastic you could just picture it." He said brightly and still with enthusiasm.
Sam sometimes blabbed on like this. He didn't mean to make people as bored as hell; he just couldn't help himself.
Sam could hear the screeching of an owl in the distance. He never got mail ever. So the last thing on his mind was getting an owl from somebody.
The screeching was getting louder and louder and sure enough an owl was flying in the Divination Tower towards them. It was a handsome Snowy owl with specks of black and brown on his feathers.
"This must be for you. I wonder who sends owls this late in the day."
But supisingly the owl landed on the step next to him and waited for Sam to take the letter from him. The letter was in a red envelope and sealed on the back with the Hogwarts stamp. On the front it read...
Samuel Miller Steps of Divination Tower Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy.
Sam opened the letter carefully. He couldn't beleive what was happening. A letter for him? No way! Bure sure enough it was. The parchment it was written on was of fine quality. Sam didn't read the whole letter. The only words that stuck out to him were Quidditch Captain and Sorry about the late notice. He looked towards Tim, gobsmacked.
"You would never believe what this is. Never. I thought you get these kind of letters before you even came to Hogwarts but it said Sorry about the late notice. Surely this can't be real. This is as unreal as it gets. I can't believe it. This is amazing." He said, still blabbing and in quite a fast pace.
He handed the letter to Tim dreamily. This was every Quidditch fans dream. When they come to Hogwarts you have to strive to be the Quidditch Captain of your house. Well to Sam it was. Sam felt on top of the world and waited for Tim to read the letter.

Tim read the letter quickly, his mouth fell. Sam, the Ravenclaw Captain. Thats is awesome, but now they were rivals. They would be plotting sceming plots against each other, in Quiddicth of course. The tone of Tim's voice changed. He cleared his throat. "Umm yer that's cool." He nudged Sam in the sholder. What was Tim thinking he should be supportive of his friend. It was cool that he was a Quidditch Captain too. They would be able to have games. It should be fun. "I mean, that is heaps mad! I mean, wow!" Tim was really excited for Sam.
