Do we have to go back to school already? I don't think I'm ready. NEWTs are coming up, and I barely passed OWLs.

I'm gonna work a lot harder! I don't have a choice. If I want to be an Auror, I have to pass everything. Even Potions!

I'll give up Quidditch, if I have to.

You can't quit quidditch!

[sticktokicks]

I don't want to, but I have to get into Auror school. I'm sure they'd rather I have all my NEWTS than a Quidditch cup.

[redwhiteandhero]

You can do both!

[sticktokicks]

I hope so...but my grades last year were terrible. I failed three classes.

[redwhiteandhero]

You'll just have to work harder this year!

You do better when the stakes are higher anyway!

[sticktokicks]

I'm going to!

...hey, you're right! And I'm dropping Divination, so I won't have to worry about that any more.

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah! So you'll have plenty of time for quidditch!

[sticktokicks]

You guys would fall apart without me, anyway.

[redwhiteandhero]

Couldn't ask for a better keeper.

[sticktokicks]

Thanks, Alfred! We're gonna win this year.

[redwhiteandhero]

Damn straight!

[sticktokicks]

And we can't let Slytherin cheat this time. Last year their beaters were out of control.

[redwhiteandhero]

No way I'm gonna let them get away with that again.

[sticktokicks]

I'll smack them around myself if they're gonna break the rules.

[redwhiteandhero]

Then you'd just get fouled.

[sticktokicks]

Not during the game, then I'd have to leave the hoops! But if I hear any snickering or something before.
