(The next day)

(Courtyard)

Oliver Wood and Harry are carrying out a box that seemed to be related to the sport Harry is starting to learn from his team captain.

"Quidditch is easy enough to understand, Potter. Each team has 7 players. 3 Chasers, 2 Beaters, 1 Keeper and a Seaker." Wood start as they settled down the case and open the hoods revealing 3 balls. 2 of them are chained up. "There are 3 kinds of balls in the game. The red one is called a Quaffle. Now, the Chasers' job is to take the Quaffle, not let the others knocked it out of their hands or even intercepts the ball and try to put it to one of the 3 hoops for 10 points." He said as he points to the 3 hoops by different sizes.
"Is there someone who guards the hoops?" Harry asked.
"Yes. That would be the Keeper's job. Myself and the opposing Keeper has to defend the hoops so no other team can score. Is anything of this making any sense so far, Potter?"
"I think so. So if that is the Quaffle, then what are those?"

Wood picks up a bat and hands it to Harry.

"You might want to take this." Wood warned

Harry reluctantly takes it as Wood unhooks one of the chains to release a fast-paced ball flying up in the air and coming down.

"Oh, be careful. It's coming back." The eldest Gryffindor warned.

Harry was ready and swings it to his left and over a statue.

"Wow. Fantastic, Potter. You honestly would make a fair Beater." Wood complimented Harry.

The ball comes back and Wood catches it. He keeps his hands over it so it doesn't fly away from him and puts it back in the trunk and chained it up once again.

"Are you alright? What was that?" Harry asked in fascination
"That was a Bludger. They're very nasty little buggers. Now, here's the ball you have to worry about as a Seeker." Wood tells him

He opens a little crest case on the hood and pulls out a little golden ball.

"This is the one I want you to worry about. The Golden Snitch." Wood said and places it in Harr's palm.
"I like this one." Harry said.
"You'll like it now. But, just wait. It's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see."
"So, what do I do with the Snitch?"
"You catch it before the other team's Seeker. You catch this, the game is over. You catch this, Harry, and Gryffindor wins."

The Snitch opens its wings and flutters around putting an awe on Harry's face. He believes that he is going to enjoy the game now.

"I just wish my aunt can see my first game." Harry said.
"Who knows? She might surprised you." Wood suggested.
"I hope so."

(Later in the day)

(Charms class)

The first year class are learning about the charm is the skills of levitation and he has all of them practicing the wrist movement and then have them enunciate the spell, Wingardium Leviosa and motions all of them to proceed. Half of them are having troubling with either enunciating the proper spell or the wrist movement. Hermione can see that Draco was having some troubling with saying it properly so she offered her help.

"Draco, if I may, It's Levi-OSA not Levi-OSAH" Hermione helped her friend.
"Would you mind showing me?" Draco asked.
"Sure. Just watch me carefully." Hermione accepted his offer

She holds out her wand and points at the feather.

"Wingardium Leviosa." Hermione said and the feather leviated. "See? Now you try."

Draco points his wand at the feather and does the exact same motion and enunciation.

"Wingardium Leviosa" He casted and his feather levitates as well.
"Well done, Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy. 5 points for each of your houses." Professor Flitwick congratulated the two students.

Harry and Pansy smiled and looked at each other.

"Let's try again, Harry." Pansy suggested.
"Together." Harry said

They both cast out the charm at the same times and both feathers levitate as well.

"Harry, we did it!" Pansy exclaimed.
"Well done, Mr. Potter and Ms. Parkinson. Another 5 points for Gryffindor and Slytherin. You 4 are magnificent." The professor congratulated once again.

That angers Weasley that not only did his fellow Gryffindors got the spell right, but they also received points with Slytherin and he can't tolerate that.

(After class)

Harry and Draco are walking out of class together.

"That was amazing what you did back there, Draco." Harry said to the Slytherin.
"Well, if Hermione didn't help me, I wouldn't have gotten it right so I owe it all to her." Draco explained.
"She is great, isn't she?"
"You're really lucky to have her in your house."

Just then, they see Hermione looking upset and walking passed them.

"Hermione?"
"Is she okay?"

Pansy made it up to the boys.

"Weasley insulted in front of Hermione." She informed them
"What did he say?" Harry asked her.
"That she is a nightmare to your house and also said no wonders she doesn't got any friends."

That made Harry mad and wanted to go teach Weasley a lesson, but remembered that he wouldn't get into any trouble while in school.
