The next morning, in the great hall. The gang is sitting, eating. Astrix amd Harry are twirling their food on a fork. "Take a bit of toast, mate, go on." Ron said, "Ron's right, You both gonna need your strength today." Hermione said, "sorry 'Mione but I'm not hungry." Snape appears at the table. "Good luck today, Potter, Lupin. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you...even if it is against Slytherin.. Snape walks off, limping. Astrix notices this. "That explains the blood.." "Blood?" Hermione asked "Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that 3 headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping." Harry explained "But why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione asked "The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts' business, very secre- Trix, what are you doing?" Harry asked "drawing, though im about to run out of pages to do so." Astrix responded, Harry took the book. "listen." He demanded.

"That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants." two owls screeches as she enters the Great Hall. they are is carrying a very large, long parcel. both of them drops it off at the table. "Bit early for mail, isn't it?" Ron asked "But I-I never get mail." Harry said "first time for everything.. i guess?" Astrix responded. "Let's open it." They open it to reveal a broomstick. "It's a broomstick!" Astrix said "Thats not just any broomstick, Trix." the two start recognizing the model "It's a Nimbus 2000!" "But who...?" He notices Professor McGonagall up at the head table, stroking Hedwig. She smiles and Harry nods.

Later on, inside a Quidditch tower. The Gryffindor team is marching towards the starting gate. They reach it and stop, behind a closed double door. "Scared, Lupin?" Oliver asks, "not a little" Astrix responded, "what about you potter?" he asked again. "a bit." "That's all right. I felt the same way before my first game." he reassured "What happened?" Astrix asked, "Er, I don't really remember. I took a bludger to the head 2 minutes in. Woke up in the hospital a week later." Harry gulps and looks straight ahead as the doors open. They mount their brooms and zoom out onto the enormous pitch. There is cheering. Lee Jordan, the Quidditch commentator is announcing from a tower.

"Hello, and welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game Slytherin versus Gryffindor!" Cheering. Gryffindor students. They are cheering.

The players take their positions in the air in a circle. Astrix weaves in, highest amongst. she looks down.

The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game. "Now, I want a nice clean game...from all of you." looks at Slytherin. She kicks the trunk, and the bludgers zoom out. "The bludgers are up...followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember, the snitch is worth 150 points. The seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game" The snitch zooms around each Seeker's head, then disappears. Hooch grabs the Quaffle.

"The Quaffle is released...and the game begins!" Gryffindor takes possession of the ball and a chaser, Harry Potter, zooms past the Slytherins towards their goal, and throws the ball, and scores! There is a ding.

"Harry Potter scores! 10 points for Gryffindor!" He presses a button and a 10 shows up beside a plaque with Gryffindor's name.
Harry, in the air, claps, a bludger suddenly zooms by Astrix. "Whoa!"
In the stands, Gryffindor cheers.

Slytherin takes possession of the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint." Flint dodges people and throws for the Gryffindor hoops. Oliver appears and whacks the ball away with his broom. He smirks at Flint, who glares. Jongson and Katie Bell pass the Quaffle back and forth as they strategize to score. Johnson takes it, throws, and once again scores! "Another 10 points to Gryffindor!" he adds another 10 to the score with a ding.

The Slytherins decide to get messy. They dodge, kick, and try to score. Once again, Oliver blocks.

Give me that! he grabs a beaters bat from one and whacks a bludger right at Oliver. It hits Oliver directly in the stomach and he plummets to the ground, knocked out. This causes the entire audience to boo; Harry is visibly upset as the Slytherins laugh. The Slytherin members head off. One jumps over George (or Fred) and scores. Lee adds 10 points in the plaque with Slytherin's name. Harry is upset again. Slytherin cheers.

"Take that side!" Flint ordered, They box Johnson in and sent her into the capes covering one of the towers. She falls down in and is out. The crowd boos. Slytherin scores once again. Suddenly, Astrix sees the Snitch. she starts to head off after it and then suddenly his broom starts bucking and turning. "oh what is going on n- WHATS GOING ON?!" Astrix yelled "What's going on with Astrix's broomstick?" Hagrid asked Hermione looks through binoculars at Astrix, then at Snape, who is visibly muttering. "It's Snape! He's jinxing the broom!" Hermione daid "Jinxing the broom? What do we do?" Ron asked, "Leave it to me." She hands Ron her binoculars and leaves the stands. Astrix is knocked and thrown around, then falls, dangling by one arm from the broom. she starts to strengthen her grip but fails as the broom keeps moving, Fred and George try to grab her, but that also fails as she keeps moving. and harry started to circle below her, hoping to catch her if she falls.

"Come on, Hermione!" Ron said concered. Hermione is hurrying up in the tower structures. She appears underneath Snape and touches his cloak with her wand. "Lacarnum Inflamarae." she said quietly. A spark ignites and Snape's cloak catches fire. Hermione quickly leaves. "Fire! You're on fire!" "What? Oh!" snape knocks the man back, who falls into Quirrell, who then also falls. Snape bats out the fire and acts as though nothing happened. The broom stop bucking, and Astrix climbs back on. The Slytherin seeker is after the Snitch. Astrix dives off. "Go!" Ron said

Astrix rams the Slytherin Seeker, then is butted out. He returns, smashing the Seeker again as the Snitch dives. The two follow, but they approach the ground quickly. The Slytherin Seeker backs out, and Astrix pulls up his broom as he follows the Snitch, feet above the ground. she stands up, and steps forward, trying to grab the ball. bit she goes too far, and falls off the broom... again. she started tumbling on the ground. she finally stops and lays on the grass. The crowd gasps. Hermione appears beside a tower to see.

"Looks like she's passed out!" Hagrid said, Astrix moved her hand sideways and managed moved something out her fingers. The Golden Snitch.

"shes's got the Snitch! Astrix Lupin receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!" "THATS MY SISTER! THATS MY SISTER EVERYBODY!" Harry yelled at the top of his lungs. hooch blows her whistle whilst riding on her broomstick "Gryffindor win!" The crowd cheers in joy including Gryffindor "thats my girl" Hermione whispered. McGonagall giggles happily. Astrix gets up and is met with harry beside her, Harry held his 'sisters' wrist and forced it up.

"Go go Gryffindor! Go go Gryffindor! Go go Gryffindor! Go go Gryffindor!" the crowd chanted.

Afterwards, you and harry went out from changing and saw hermione and ron, "TRIX!" hermione ran towards you and hugged you as tight as she can. "thats my girl." she whispered to you.
