Neville Longbottom, the boy who lived year 2

Chapter 6

Early the next morning Harry was woken up by Wood.

"What?" he said.

"Come on, quidditch practice now." Wood said.

"Oliver, It's barely bright out!"

"Exactly. It's part of our new training program. Come on, grab your broom, and let's go," None of the other teams have started training yet; we're going to be first off the mark this year-"

"Alright I'm up." He started to yawn and sat up.

"Good, be there in fifteen minutes."

"Alright."

Then he got up and got ready. A few minutes later he was outside listening to Wood.

"I divided a whole new quidditch program. We're gonna train earlier, harder and longer." Then they saw some other people. "Wha- I don't believe it."

Ron, Hermione and Neville saw them coming.

"Where do you think you're going Flint?"

"Quidditch practice." Flint said.

"I booked the field for Gryffindor today."

"Easy Wood, I've got a note." he said and handed him the note.

"Uh oh, I smell trouble." Ron said and closed his book.

"Same here." Neville said.

"I Professor Severus Snape here by give you permission to practice according to the case of having a new seeker." He put the note down. "You've got a new seeker, who?"

Then Malfoy came out of behind Flint.

"Malfoy?" Harry said.

"That's right, and that's not all that's new this year." Malfoy said.

They looked down and saw new brooms.

"Those are nimbus 2001, how did you get those?" Ron asked.

"Gift from Draco's father." Flint said.

"You see unlike some my father can afford the best." he said.

"At least nobody on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They've got an all pure talent." Hermione said.

Malfoy looked at her. "No one asked your opinion, you filthy little mudblood." Everyone went wide.

"You'll pay for that one Malfoy." Ron said pulling out his broken wand. "Eat slugs!"

Then it rebounded and Ron was on his back. Everyone but the Slytherins ran to him. Neville, Harry and Hermione bent down next to him.

"You OK Ron?" Hermione asked.

He just knelt there with his mouth shut.

"Say something!" Neville said.

Then a slug came out of his mouth.

Then a flash appeared. "Wow! Can you turn around Harry?" Colin asked.

"No Colin get out of the way!"

Then another one came and Harry helped him stand up.

"Let's take him to Hagrid. He'll know what to do!"

So they headed to his hut while the Slytherins laughed.

When they got there Hagrid had him sit down and brought him a bucket.

"Well, this calls for specialists equipment. Nothin' to do but wait till it's done I'm afraid." Then another one came out. "Better out then in. Who'd Ron try to curse anyway?"
