Antonio smiled. "Yes, I hope not, either. Gryffindor is in the lead with house points right now, but we are only just into the term and you really can't go by that. It's what happens at the end that counts. But as long as everyone keeps motivated and does their homework and not get into trouble, I think we will all be fine. And oh yes, winning at quidditch doesn't help, either. Are you planning to try out or just cheer? Cheering is very important, too, it definitely keeps the team motivated to get the win."

Antonio stopped as he saw Demetria offer him some pumpkin cookies. They looked quite delicious, and freshly baked. "Why, thank you, Demetria, that's very kind of you. Pumpkin cookies happen to be one of my favorites."
