It was Quidditch season at Hogwarts, and there was a big game between Gryffindor and Slytherin. On the field, the players were already getting ready.
On the Gryffindor side, James Potter and Sirius Black were the highlights. On the Slytherin side, Regulus Black was the star. In the Gryffindor stands, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and Lily Evans; on the Slytherin side, Evan and Pandora Rosier with Dorcas Meadowes. In the commentator's box, Barty Crouch Jr.
It was a buzz down there, and Barty announced excitedly.
"My dear players, hold on to your brooms! Madam Hooch, blow the whistle!" And at the sound of the whistle, the balls were thrown and the players rose into the air.
Regulus and James competed for the Golden Snitch, while Sirius focused on scoring points.
