Red and gold

I saw a lone Quidditch player flying in red and gold robes. I furrowed my brow in concentration. There wasn't a Gryffindor Quidditch team practice now; I would know, as the Captain of the team. Maybe one of the team was practicing alone. I walked closer, and decided that the flyer wasn't one of the girls — they are smaller than this flyer. That left the Beaters, Jimmy Peakes and Ritchie Coote, as I knew where Ron was at the moment. I stood in the middle of the pitch, staring up at the lone flyer, squinting in the bright sunlight as I tried to identify him.

When he landed in front of me, I realised that I was completely wrong. Cormac McLaggern stepped off the broom suavely, and gave me a brazen wink. I stared at him in shock. No one but the Gryffindor Quidditch team had a set of those red and gold robes.
