"Haylee!" Harry shouts, "That was amazing!" Fred said "Nice one, Potter 2, but first lets get you to the hospital wing." I nod and I slowly walk with Harry to the hospital wing.

"Miss Potter, first you show up with a broken ankle, now a broken wrist." said Madame Pomfrey. "When I caught the snitch the bulger came and hit my wrist. You can fix it right?" 

"Of course, but it will take longer since it's almost shattered." "Episkey" she says and then she puts a cast on my arm. "Come back in about 2 weeks, and I'll take it off for you." "Okay thanks!" I say as I leave going to get changed.

After 5 mins of struggling to get changed, I finally managed. As I was walking slowly back to Gryffindor tower, I see Draco and Pansy running towards me. "Nice Hayles" Pansy says. "Are you okay?" Draco asks, "You've been hit pretty badly."

"I'm fine, just a broken wrist." I say calmly. "Anyway, you need to stop asking are you okay to me." I laugh. "I know your strong, but you get hurt too often, I just want to check if you're okay." "Bye, Hayles, me and Draco got to get back to our common room, SEE YA!" and they run off.


I finally managed to get to the Gryffindor Common room. As soon as I enter, I see red, gold and yellow balloons floating, and the whole Gryffindor cheering for me. A bunch of party poppers got pulled to my face.

I walk through and see my team sitting on the couches, getting cheered at by their fans. "Haylee, there you are!" I hear Wood yell at me. "Cone, we saved a seat for you." I sat down with the rest of my teammates. 

It felt great, it felt great to be in Gryffindor seeker. The party lasted for ages from morning 8am to 3 pm. We had to stop because Professor McGonagall, called the party to stop. We all started heading back to our dorm. I shear a dorm with Hermione, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil.

As I stroll through the door, with Parvati and Lavender, (Hermione was already there) I saw piles of gifts swarming my draws. I gasp. Hermione said, "There girts form you fans, everyone in your team got some, but I see you got the most."

I slowly open all of them, with some help of course, 1 arm opening wrappers is not easy. I see a few wrapping paper wrapped in green, witch I guess are from Draco and Pansy.


After all the opening this is what I got:

- Easy guide to quidditch book (From Wood)

- A bunch of books; Female famous quidditch players, a couple of magazines (From Hermione)

- A cute glass broomstick jewelry holder (From Pansy and Draco)

- Candy and some cards (From the Weasleys)

- Fancy Hair accessories; How to tame your hair (From Dean and Thomas)

And a bunch more, I can't  figure out who they are from.


"Come on" Hermione says. "I'll the boys and you'll get Pansy and Draco, we'll go and see Hagrid."

"Nonsense," Hagrid grumbles as we walk through the grounds together. "Why would Snape put a curse on Haylee and Harry's brooms?" Turns out that Snape had jinxed our brooms during the game, and Hermione stopped him

"Who knows? Why was he trying to get last that three headed dog on Halloween?" Harry  retort. "Who told you peaps about Fluffy?" "That thing has a name?" Hermione asks, looking shocked. "Of course, he has a name. He's mine." Hagrid explains. "I bought him off an Irishman I met down at the pub last year. 

I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the--" he stops dead in his tracks. "Yeah?" Harry pushes him. "What is Fluffy guarding?" "Shouldn't have said that. No more questions! That's top secret, that is." Hagrid tells us. "But Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it," Harry says. "Codswallop." Hagrid mutters. "Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher."

"Hogwarts teacher or now, I know a spell when I see one. I've read all about them. You've got to keep eye contact, and Snape wasn't blinking," Hermione tells Hagrid, sounding very frustrated. "Exactly," I speak up. "Now, you listen to me, all four of you. You're meddling in things that ought not to be meddled in. It's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is strictly between Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel."

Nicholas Flamel? "Nicholas Flamel?" Harry and I question in sync. "I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that." Hagrid says seriously before walking away. Nicholas Flamel. "Who's Nicholas Flamel?" Ron asks. "I don't know," Hermione says quietly.

Harry, Ron and I sit in the Great Hall together; Harry and Ron are playing Wizards Chess, and I am eagerly watching on. The past months have flown by, and it is now nearing Christmas. Most students return to their families for this holiday, but Harry and I are, of course, staying.

 We're the last thing the Dursleys would want to see under their tree. Ron and his brothers are also staying at Hogwarts, along with a few other stray students. Hermione, on the other hand, is returning to her family, today in fact. "Knight to e5," Harry says, making his Knight move across the chess board. "Queen to e5," Ron grins, as Mione joins us at the table. Ron's queen moves over to e5 and whacks Harry's knight over, using a small chair. "That's totally barbaric," Hermione exclaims.

"That's wizard's chess," Ron explains bluntly. "I see you've packed." He then adds. "I see you haven't." Hermione shoots back. "Change of plans," Ron tells her. "My parents went to Romania to visit my brother Charlie. He's studying dragons there." "Good." Hermione smiles, "you can help Haylee and Harry then. "They're going to go and look in the library to look up Nicholas Flamel." "We've looked a hundred times!" Ron says exasperatedly. "Not in the restricted section," Hermione says as she leans closer to us. "Merry Christmas." 

"Bye." I hug her before she turns and leaves the Castle. "See you in about 2 weeks!" I say.
