The next morning, in the great hall. The gang is sitting, eating. Harry is twirling his food on a fork.

"Take a bite of toast, mate, go on." Ron said to Harry encouraging him to eat.

"Ron's right, Harry. You're gonna need your strength today." Hermione said

"I'm not hungry." Harry said

They look at me and I shrugged and took a bite of toast. Snape appears at the table.

"Good luck today, Potter, Elliott. Then again, now that you've both proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you both... even if it is against Slytherin." Snape walks away.

"That explains the blood." Harry says

"Blood?" Hermione said curious

"I'm eating here!" I complained

Harry rolls his eyes. "Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that 3 headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping." Harry explains

"But why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione said

"The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts' business, very secret." Harry explained more.

"So you're saying..." Hermione listens in more

"That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants." Harry says

Hedwig screeches as she enters the Great Hall. She is carrying a very large, long parcel. She drops it off at the table and another owl screeches as brown and white owl it was a barn owl, I looked up.

"Ezekiel?" He drops a very large, long parcel, just likes Harry's.

"Bit early for mail, isn't it?" Hermione commented

"But I-I never get mail." Harry says

"Let's open it" Ron said to Harry

I looked at the side of the parcel there was a note.

I smiled and started opening it and it revealed a broomstick.

"It's a broomstick!" Harry said looking at his parcel.

"You got on to!" Hermione said looking at me.

"It's not only a broomstick, Harry. It's a Nimbus 2000!" Ron looks at mine. "Whoa! You got one to!"

"Nice, Dad" I said smiling.

"But who...?" Harry said looking around.

I stroked my owl and smiled.

Later on, inside the Quidditch tower. We are marching towards the starting gate. We reach it and stop, behind a closed double door.

"Scared, Leon, Harry?" Oliver asked us

"A little" Harry said

"A bit" I replied

"That's all right. I felt the same way before my first game." Oliver said trying to make us feel better.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"Er, I don't really remember. I took a bludger to the head 2 minutes in. Woke up in the hospital a week later." Oliver answered
