> Maybe Dean and Seamus? I'd imagine it'd be two people we know (sort 
of--we haven't seen much at all of either character), who are close 
friends, like Fred and George. Then again, it could just as well be 
Neville and Hermione.

Ginger wonders:
Are Kirke and Sloper really all that bad?  OK, they each had a 
miserably bad moment, vs. Hufflepuff.  They weren't on the team yet 
vs. Slytherin and we didn't get to see the Ravenclaw match as Harry 
and Hermione were paying a social call on Grawp.  When Angelina 
picked them her only comment was that they weren't brilliant, but 
were better than the other idiots who showed up (not an exact quote, 
but close).

Ron started out less than stellar too, but got better.  I'm sure 
Sloper and Kirke will have to try out again next year, but if the 
same idiots are their competition, they would have the edge of a bit 
of experience.  Angelina would probably give them another go.  After 
all, she wouldn't let Ron quit even when she was less than impressed 
with him.  Next year's captain may have the same attitude.

Ginger, who thinks Ginny and Neville would be a fun pair of beaters, 
and hopes to see more Quidditch in the next couple of years.  With 
all the chaos promising to ensue, a little normalcy will be welcomed 
by the characters, if not the readers.
