Harry and Y/N Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

CHAPTER 10: MYSTERIOUS GIFT AND A CLOSE CALL

Y/N was just getting up and had a thought. Harry needs a broom. He was perfectly aware that the others knew it too.

He walked out of the boys bedroom, and looked over at the fireplace. What he saw surprised him.

It was a new broom, but this one he knew was a firebolt. The newest model of broomsticks and was supposed to be the fastest to date. Even outstripping the Nimbus models with no problem.

Y/N couldn't help but suspect it to be a trap, especially when he saw that it had Harry's name on it.

Y/N scanned it thoroughly with his eye and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. It wasn't tampered with at all, but he wanted to talk to the professors before his brother sees it, just to be safe.

Y/N took it to Professor Mcgonagall. "Mr. Potter, can I help you?" She asked. "I need this scanned for any jinxes that could hurt Harry. I looked over it, but I couldn't find anything." He said. "Very well, we'll have Professor Flickwick look it over. If he doesn't find anything wrong with it, it will be given to your brother immediately." She said. "That's all I ask." He said. She took the broom and went to Professor Flickwick.

It was two weeks, during this time the firebolt was examined by not only Professor Flickwick, but Professor Lupin and Dumbledore. All three said it was safe to ride.

Harry was preparing for practice when he felt Ginny coming into the room.

What he didn't expect was a new broomstick in her hand. "Professor Mcgonagall said for me to give you this. I didn't ride it, nor did anyone else. You get the first ride." Harry smiled "Where did it come from?"

"Y/N found it two weeks ago in the common room. He gave it to Professor Mcgonagall after examining it with his eye. It took two weeks to confirm it to be safe. Nobody knows how it got there." Ginny said.

"Y/N is always looking out for me, he forgets that we don't live with the Dursleys anyone." Harry said. "Don't remind me of them. I still want to try out some spells Mum taught me, on them." Ginny said.

Harry nodded and took off for the field. Wood spotted him in the air. "Harry, bring it in and let's see what you have there." He said.

Harry flew in and everyone was amazed by the fact that he was riding a firebolt. "There's no way Mum and Dad bought that." Fred said. "I doubt Professor Mcgonagall got it either. How long did you have it?"

"Y/N found it two weeks ago, he gave it to Professor Mcgonagall to get it examined before anyone even knew about it. It was examined by three different professors to make sure it was safe for me to use." Harry said. "Well let's see what you can do on it." Wood said. Practice began immediately.

By the time practice was over, Wood looked like he was going to start dancing at any moment. Harry's performance didn't suffer from the new broom. It was slightly better than before. Wood could see the cup right then and there.

It wasn't long before the game against Ravenclaw began, and the two teams were getting ready for the game.

The teams began flying around the field, with Harry looking for the snitch, but the Ravenclaw seeker, Cho Chang, was constantly getting in the way.

"Now is not the time to be a gentleman, Harry, knock her off her broom if you have to." Wood told him.

"AHH!" Cho screamed.

A dementor arrived on the field. Harry took out his wand. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" He shouted and a ball of light was fired at them.

Harry then tried diving into the ground, with Cho right behind him. He pulled up at the last minute and saw the snitch not far from him. He caught up to it and caught it.

The Gryffindor team rushed him. The three chasers kissed him on the cheek, much to Ginny's annoyance, Wood was shouting "THAT'S MY BOY" at the top of his lungs. But none of this measured to what Ginny did.

She ran over to Harry and kissed him on the mouth. Harry returned the kiss with no problem. The two eventually separated by the need to breathe.

"That was an impressive patronus, Harry." Lupin said. "It didn't seem to have any effect on the dementor." Harry pointed out. "That is because they wasn't a dementor, come see for yourself."

The figure struggled to remove the cloak. It was caught in it. Eventually the figure revealed itself to be Goyle. "I'm going to kill you for that." Y/N said, getting his wand ready.

"There's no need for that, Mr. Potter. Slytherin has lost fifty points for Mr. Goyle's actions, and he will be serving detention." Professor Mcgonagall said.

"Harry, party, Gryffindor common room, now." Fred said.

The party was in full swing. Harry had to explain to the other Gryffindors that he was soul bound to Ginny, much the delight of many.

Fred and George was able to get a great deal of food and drink. Ron contributed to the food with sweets from honeydukes. The Gryffindors were having a good time.

Professor Mcgonagall came in three hours after Y/N punched Percy across the face. "Time for bed, the whole lot of you." She told them. Percy agreed with her and everyone went to bed.

Ron woke up to a noise and saw a silhouette over him. It was holding a knife in one hand and he knew it was Sirius Black. Ron panicked and threw Black off of him.

The noise was enough to wake the other boys and Y/N saw him. He immediately gave chase. The others went to the common room.

Y/N was able to keep up with Black, and seeing him wasn't difficult either. Y/N eventually caught up with him and tackled him to the ground.

He then grabbed him. "Why did you stop me?" Black said. "Because you tried to kill my friend." Y/N said. "I was so close."

Y/N summoned Harry's sword and used it to fight against Black's knife. Y/N used a one handed strike to put Black on his back foot, but Black simply side stepped the attack and attempted to block his next one.

He realized quickly that matching Y/N strength to strength was a bad idea, but he did manage to escape by trying to knock his feet out from underneath him. Y/N did jump up, but Black pushed him back and made a run for it.

The Gryffindors were in the common room wearing their pajamas. "Are we getting back to the party?" He asked. Professor Mcgonagall entered the room in her bed time robes. "Listen, I know that you all are happy about Gryffindor winning, but this is getting ridiculous." She told them.

"I saw Sirius Black with a knife." Ron said. Everyone was looking at him with worried expressions. Harry was next to Ginny almost immediately. "I'm sure it's just a bad dream."  Percy said. "I beg to differ Mr. Weasley. If it was a dream, then where's Y/N?"

"Perhaps he went to the bathroom." Percy said. "Ms. Granger, could you kindly tell us where Y/N is." Professor Mcgonagall said. "He's dealing with Black, Professor." Hermione said.

"I'll alert Professor Dumbledore. Ms Granger, you will find Y/N and make sure he isn't hurt." Professor Mcgonagall said. Hermione nodded her head and ran after him.

Hermione found him sitting on the steps looking disappointed. "Y/N are you okay?" She asked. "I nearly had him. I was so close to getting him." Y/N said in a bitter tone.

Hermione sat down next to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "It's okay,  Y/N. I know you will get him next time." The young swordsman nodded and intertwined his fingers with hers. The two stayed like this for a moment before they returned to bed.

The next day, Sir Cadogan was removed from Gryffindor house and the fat lady was returned to her the doorway, on the condition that she got two trolls for protection.

Y/N was able to find Sir Cadogan and their ritual of training and sparring continued.
