�HARRY POTTER!� Fred shouted. Harry�s heart gave a sudden leap. The team began to clap as Harry shakily stood up. �Congratulations, Harry!� Fred exclaimed. With his mouth gaped open, he walked over to the twins. They shook his hand vigorously and sat him down at the head of the table.
�I�I�I�� Harry stuttered. He looked confusedly at George, who whispered in his ear.
�We need a new keeper,� he hinted.
�Oh, yeah,� said Harry. �So does anyone have any suggestions on who the new keeper should be?� he said, his voice shaking a bit. The twins� hands shot up.
�Well, the thing is,� George started, �Is that over the summer, we let Ron practice with us, and he was a pretty decent keeper. He tried the other positions, but he wasn�t very good at them. He seemed pretty excited when he got the hang of it, and after throwing an old quaffle at him about twenty times, he only missed it once or twice.�.
�So,� Fred began, �If nobody else has any suggestions, we�d like to give our little brother a shot at keeper.�
�If he isn�t any good, Harry,� George said, �You can kick him off the team.�
Harry laughed. �Of course I�ll give him a shot!� he exclaimed excitedly. After the meeting ended, Harry ran back to the Gryffindor commons room. He burst in, and saw Ron reading a book about the Chudley Cannons. �Ron!� he gasped, �You�re not going to believe this, but they voted me Gryffindor Quidditch captain!�
�Really?� Ron exclaimed.
�Yeah, and I have even better news,� Harry continued, �I�m making you keeper!�
�Oh�� Ron�s face fell. He looked a little sick. �Are you sure you want me to?�
�WHY NOT?� yelled Harry.
�Well,� Ron began, �What if I�m not good enough?�
�You�re brothers said if you weren�t any good I should kick you off,� Harry laughed, �But I�m sure you�ll be great! �
�Alright,� Ron said, �But if I�m no good, you�d better not let me play. I don�t want to make a fool of myself in front of the entire school.�
�It�s a deal,� Harry chuckled.
