When we got down there I instantly told the boys and Hermione about what Snape did. They also thought it was strange. After that we got to work, or at least tried.

"Eye of rabbit, harp string hum, turn this water into rum. Eye of rabbit, harp string hum..." Seamus said waving his wand at a cup of water.

"What is Seamus trying to do with that glass of water?" Harry asked.

"Turn it into rum, actually managed a weak tea yesterday, before-" Ron answered before he was interrupted by an explosion. Hermione and I looked over to see Seamus covered in soot and the glass of water was steaming. Soon a flock of owls swooped down and dropped packages and letters. Hermione and I got letters from mum and dad while Ron got a package of fudge.

"Hey, look, Neville's got a remembrall!" Dean announced to everyone.

"I've read about those, when the smoke turns red, it means you've forgotten something." Hermione said. The smoke in the ball immediately turned red.

"The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten." He said. I looked at him and fixed my robes. He took the hint and went to find them.

"Hey, guys, somebody broke into gringotts. 'Believed to be the work of dark witches or wizards unknown, Gringotts goblins, whilst acknowledging the breach, insist that nothing was taken. The vault in question, number 713, had in fact been emptied earlier that day.' That's odd, that's the vault Hagrid and I went to." Harry said, reading the paper. We all shared a look but we brushed it off. We had to go to our flying lesson.

"Hello class!" Madam Hooch said walking to the 2 rows of students.

"Hello Madam Hooch." We all said.

"When I blow my whistle. I want all of you to hold your hand over your broom and say the word up." She blew her whistle and we all did what she said. Harry and I were the first ones to get it. Ron's broom hit him in the head. Harry and I laughed.

"Not funny guys."

"Now I want you to mount your broom." The ones that got it did and the others kept trying to get their brooms up.

"When I blow my whistle I want you to push off the ground hover for a little bit then touch back down." She blew her whistle and Neville started floating. He lost control and hit the side of the Castle. Then fell.

"Everyone back up." Madam Hooch said, clearing through the crowd around him.

"Ah yes it's broken." She said looking at his arm. "I'm taking Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing. Until I get back everyone keep your feet firmly on the ground." Malfoy walked over to where Neville had fallen and picked up his remembrall.

"Maybe if he gave this a look he would have remembered to land in his fat ass."

"Give it back, Malfoy." Harry and I said in unison.

"I just put it where he can find it, on the roof." He took off on his own broom. "What too scared?" We both took off. Chasing after him.

"Give it to us, malfoy!" He threw it at the castle. Harry flew and caught it right before it could hit the window then threw it to me and I caught it. Harry caught it right in front of Professor McGonagall's window. After we landed we ran to the rest of the class and they cheered.

"Harry Potter and Harley Grainger follow me." McGonagall called walking out to the field. Malfoy smiled a devilish smile. We followed her and she stopped at Professor Quirrell class.

"Excuse me, Professor, may I browse Mr. Wood?" she asked.

"O-of c-course." He stuttered.

"This is Oliver Wood. He is the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain." Harry and I nodded and smiled.

"Mr. Wood I have found you a seeker and 3rd chaser." She said smiling.
