The four of us sat at breakfast. I was starving. I finished everything and then some. Harry wouldn't touch a bite though. This afternoon was our first Quidditch match and boy was I nervous. But that was surpassed by hunger. I quickly nipped to the toilet when I came back I sat across from Mionie and sadly next to Ron.
"What did I miss."
"I think Snape, used the troll as a diversion to get past the three headed dog. Do you remember the gringotts story?" I nodded "Well Hagrid was the one who emptied it out. Saw it was Hogwarts business very secret."
"So your assuming that what it's guarding and Snape wants that." I summarised just as the mail came. I looked up seeing Hedwig carrying a large object dropping it in front of its owner.
"Bit early for mail isn't it?" I comment
"But I never get mail." Harry was confused
"Let's open it." Ron stated and the four of us helped Harry to reveal a broom
"It's a broom stick." he breathed
"That's not just any broomstick Harry, it's the nimbus 2000!" Ron exclaimed
"But who..." Harry trailed off looking away from us.

I was one of three chasers. We stood at the back of the seven with the Weasley twins, Oliver and Harry in front of us.
"Nervous?" Drake a sixth year chaser asked me
"A little." I admitted
"Don't worry, you'll forget once your out there. I've seen you training, you're a natural." he smiled kindly. The hatch opened and I mounted up, we were going against Slytherin. We flew out onto the pitch. I took my position. Madam hooch stepped out.
"Now I want a nice clean game from all of you." she released the bludgers and the snitch, then the quaffle. I sped into action snatching it away and heading for the hoops but I had to loose one of the slytherin players over a stand before I could. I dodge the bludger and another player before throwing it into the hoop
"Vega Malfoy scores! Ten points for Gryffindor." I high fived Angelina Johnson. Slytherin got ahold of the quaffle and Angelina tried to get it but was kicked again, Oliver blocked them from scoring and threw it to me I passed it to drake who scored. There was a lot of back and forth Slytherin took out Oliver leaving our hoops defenceless.
"Fred gimme." I held my hand out for the bat and he handed it over. I hit it towards one of their keepers.
"Fair's fair." I call and carry on with the game. We went back and forth scoring, Till Harry started flailing all over the place. I stopped
"Harry!"
"Keep going." he yelled back." I was hesitant but kept playing as he sought to gain control. He eventually did as I grabbed the quaffle and scored again. The two seekers saw the snitch. I couldn't but I'm guessing they did. Harry was actually stood on his broom and fell off
"He's got the snitch. Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the snitch!"
"Gryffindor wins." Madam Hooch declared I came to a halt and cheered then sped down closer cheering as well. He held up the snitch in triumph.

Harry and I had changed back into our school uniforms. The two of us were now walking the school grounds with Ron Hermione and Hagrid. Hermonie and Ron were telling us that Snape had jinxed Harry's broom.
"Nonsense." Hagrid replied "Why would Snape curse Harry's broom?"
"Who knows? Why was he trying to get past that three headed dog on Halloween?" Harry responded.
"How do you know about fluffy?" Hagrid questioned shocked that we even knew of its existence. I rolled my eyes at that name. The dog was anything but the last run in we had.
"Fluffy?" Ron scoffed
"That thing has a name?" Hermione added
"Of course he has a name. He's mine." Hagrid answered "I bought him of an Irish fellow. I lent him to Dumbledore to guard..." he realised he was answering back
"Yes." I pressed
"I shouldn't have said that. No more questions! That's top secret, that is." Hagrid added
"But Hagrid, whatever fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it." Harry instead
"Codswallop. Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher."
"Hogwarts teacher or not, 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." Hermonie retorted
"Exactly." Harry agreed
"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 professor Dumbledore and Nicholas flamel." I couldn't help but smirk. I had grown fond of Hagrid in my little interaction with him. But he did have a knack for putting his foot in it at the most opportune times
"Nicholas Flamel?" I ask
"I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that." he left the four of us alone
"Nicholas Flamel. Who's that?" Harry wondered and three of us either shrug or shake our heads.
"I don't know." Hermonie replied
"It feels like I've heard the name before though. Where have I heard the name before." That was going to bug me no end.
