For the first time since he arrived at Hogwarts, Basil gave a half smile, which was the maximum of happiness he usually displayed on his features. The loud cheering from the Gryffindor table was enough to make him turn around and frown instinctively.  It reminded him of the weight his new responsibility held on his shoulders and that he had to be not only a better Beater this year, but usually an excellent Captain. Somehow he wished to have more “people-skills” like Summerby. Basil had confidence in his strategy.  He knew that all of his ideas will be successful if he found the right way to communicate with all of his teammates and to keep them together. Their best chance was for the team to act as a whole and individually, everyone to do their job perfectly.<br/><br/>Throughout the summer he trained intensively to perfect his hits and to tone his arm muscles. At home he had no bludgers, so Basil trained with the small canon balls his grandfather kept in the basement as a reminder of his warring days.  He enchanted an old baseball pitching machine and re-desgined it for the canon balls.  He also spent his days figuring out new ways to send the bludgers to their targets with a greater speed. Basil was actually proud for achieving his greatest success yet:  keeping his balance on the broom  for a relatively long time without holding his hands on the broomstick.<br/><br/>“Do you think we’re allowed with two bats at the same time?” he asked trying to sound funny, but the question itself was actually important. He just might be the first Beater in Quidditch History to use a bat in each hand during a game. Seeing that John’s cup was empty, he offered to fill it out for him with the<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Refilling Charm</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: Basil rolled: 2d6, keeping 2 dice<br/>Comment: refilling his wine cup<br/>Result: 3, 5,<br/>Total: 8</div></div>Charlize’s sudden change of expression caught his eyes and following her gaze, Basil saw Xavril’s instant transformation take place as well.  While his red haired friend dealt with the incident in her own way, Basil frowned at the sight.

The boy was really not of this world, somehow she felt he was suited for a life in the Forbidden Forest rather than at Hogwarts.<br/><br/>Soon Charlize’s features alighted with humor once more as she saw Richard Blackthorne approaching the Slytherin table. He really had no limits when it came to greeting new folks. She assessed his charming way when Richard met with Gustav, the stern-looking transfer student being the first one to held out his hand in greeting.  While not admitting it openly, the girl felt the need to compete with her Prefect on all social standards. Whether it was the challenge itself or Richard’s mannerism, this always brought a spark in her life at Hogwarts.<br/><br/>“Think we should make way for him when he decides to join us?” she asked Sarah unconvinced that eventually Richard will eat at his table. She believed him capable to join in on the feast alsong with the Slytherins if that was fun enough (or if the girls were prettier).<br/><br/>“I don’t know” her friend replied “…but Charlie is waving at us”  Turning their gaze at the Ravenclaw table, both girls saw the Ravenclaw Beater waving eagerly at them and fooling around with a floating roasted chicken on which he used<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">wingardium leviosa</div><div class="spoiler_body"> <br/>Roll Result: Charlie Mullins rolled: 3d6, keeping 3 dice<br/>Comment: keeping the object in the air<br/>Result: 6, 1, 2,<br/>Total: 9 </div></div><br/>He was sitting between Randolph Carter and Jonathan Vaisey, two students with which Charlize wasn’t very familiar with.<br/>
