Alicia was invited to a Quidditch Match for the weekend. Gryffindor versus Slytherin.
"This is my first time watching a quidditch match." Alicia smiled to herself, still wishing that it was Lisa instead of Umbridge sitting next to her.

And as Lee paused to listen, the song rose loud and clear from the sea of green and silver in the Slytherin section of the stands :
