We are walking up a staircase in the Grand Staircase tower. A railing pulls in, Hermione looks, but continues walking.
"I'm telling you, it's spooky. She knows more about you than you do." Ron whispers
"It is spooky, she knows more about you then I do, and I know you since we was 7!" I whispered
"Who doesn't?" Harry replies
The staircase shudders and begins to move. We all grab the railings.
"Ahh!" Ron freaks out. Hermione gasps.
"What's happening?" Harry asked
"The staircases change, remember?" Hermione replied The staircase stops, leading to a corridor. Harry taps me and Ron. "Let's go this way."
"Before the staircase moves again." Ron says
We open a door and walk into a spooky, dark and deserted corridor.
"Does anyone feel like-" Harry says
"We shouldn't be here?" I finish his sentence and he nods.
"We're not supposed to be here. This is the 3rd floor. It's forbidden." Hermione replies
A flame lights on a tall stone support. At that moment, Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, comes running in and meows. We jump.
"Let's go" Harry says
Mrs. Norris meows
"It's Filch's cat!" Ron says
"It's just a cat?" I say confused
"Run!" Harry shouts
"Wh-" I was cut off by someone pulling my robe to it was Hermione, pulling me down the corridor, flames are lit up on the stone supports, one by one, as we run past them. We get to the end of the corridor, to a door.
"Quick! Let's hide though that door!" Harry shouts. I grab the handle, but it's locked.
"It's locked, now can someone explain why we are running from a cat!" I say confused
"That's it, we're done for!" Ron says panicking
"Oh, move over!" Hermione says pushes through and pulls out her wand, aiming it at the lock.
"Alohomora." The door's lock lifts up magically and it opens. "Get in." We bustle in.
"Alohomora?" Ron said
"Standard book of spells, Chapter 7." Hermione replies knowingly.
"You read a lot don't you?" I asked. Before she said anything back Filch arrives at the start of the corridor with a light. Mrs. Norris looks at him.
"Anyone here, my sweet?" Mrs. Norris meows. "Come on." They leave the corridor.
"Filch is gone." Hermione says
"Probably thinks this door's locked." Ron says
"It was locked." Hermione says I shook my head at there bickering.
"And for good reason." Harry says. We turn to stand with Harry. There is a massively huge three headed dog sleeping in front of them. The dog begins to wake. It growls, yawns, and growls more...noticing us.
"AHHHHHHH!" We screamed we bolt, running out of the door. We turn quickly to shut the door and battle against the dog. We get the door shut and run.
We return to the Gryffindor Common Room, breathless.
"What do they think they're doing?? Keeping a thing like that locked up in a school." Ron says
"You don't use your eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?" Hermione says
"Obviously not, we was to busy trying not to get eaten!" I said as she rolled her eyes
" I wasn't looking at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads. Or maybe you didn't notice, there were three!" Ron adds
We begin to climb the stairs to the dorms.
"It was standing on a trap door. Which means it wasn't there by accident. It's guarding something."Hermione explained
"Guarding something?" Harry asked curious
"That's right. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed... or worse, expelled!" She says annoyed and turns around shutting the door to her dormitory."
"How is being expelled worse than being killed!?" I said so confused.
"She needs to sort out her priorities!" Ron says me and Harry nodded in agreement.
Outside in the courtyard, day time. Me and Harry are carrying a trunk walking with Oliver. We set the trunk down.
"Quidditch is easy enough to understand. Each time has seven players, 3 chasers, one of them is you."Oliver points to me. "2 beaters, 1 keeper and a seeker. That's you. There are three kinds of balls." He picks up a red one. "This one's called the Quaffle. Now, Leon you will handle the Quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops." He points to the hoops in the quidditch pitch in the distance. "The keeper, that's me, defends the hoops." He throws the ball at me. "With me so far?" I throw the ball back at him.
"I think so." I said not fully sure.
"What are those?" Harry asked pointing to two squirming chained down balls.
"You better take this." Oliver said handing me and Harry a small bat. He bends down and releases two balls. With an angry growl, they fly off into the air. We watch it. "Careful now, there coming back." The balls comes whizzing down, Harry and I cracks at it with the bat. The balls soars off through a statue one behind the other, surprisingly without damaging it. "Eh, not bad, Elliott, Potter, you'd two will make fair beaters...uh-oh." The balls zoom down, and Oliver grabs one. "Elliott, get the other!" Before I could say anything my eyes widen as I grabbed the ball coming at me. I drop down to the floor trying to keep the ball still. "What do I do?" I shouted at Oliver. "Give it here" Oliver said out of breath from the other one and I pass him the ball as he locks away the other one back in the box.
"What is that?" Harry asked I stand back up dusting off and dirt from off my clothes.
"Bludger. Nasty little buggers. But you are the seeker, and the only thing I want you to worry about is this... the Golden Snitch." Oliver hands Harry a walnut sized golden ball.
"I like this ball." Harry said and I smiled
"Ah, you like it now. Just wait. It's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see."
"What do I do with it?"
"You catch it... before the other team's seeker. You catch this, the game is over. You catch this, Potter, and we win."
The ball flutters out two delicate wings and jumps into the air. Harry keeps an eye on it.
"Whoa." Harry said
Why I look around so confused we're it went and then it went in front of me.
"Your bloody fast one aren't you" I said smiling
