Y/n Potter and the Wizarding World

Quidditch And Snape's Grudge

It looked like the end of Ron and Hermione's friendship. Each was so
angry with the other that Y/N and Harry even Sarah couldn't see how they'd ever make up.

Ron was enraged that Hermione had never taken Crookshanks's attempts to eat Scabbers seriously, hadn't bothered to keep a close enough watch on him, and was still trying to pretend that Crookshanks was innocent by suggesting that Ron look for Scabbers under all the boys' beds.
Hermione, meanwhile, maintained fiercely that Ron had no proof that Crookshanks had eaten Scabbers, that the ginger hairs might have been there since Christmas, and that Ron had been prejudiced against her cat
ever since Crookshanks had landed on Ron's head in the Magical Menagerie.

Personally, Harry was sure that Crookshanks had eaten Scabbers, Y/n tried to be funny by giving Ron a matchbox saying these are the remains of Scabbers and went to do a eulogy for him, when Harry tried to point out to Hermione that the evidence all pointed that way, she lost her temper with Harry too.

Hermione: Okay, side with Ron, I knew you would!

She said shrilly.

Hermione: First the Firebolt which wasn't yours, now Scabbers, everything's my fault, isn't it! just leave me alone, Harry, I've got a lot of work to do!

Ron had taken the loss of his rat very hard indeed.

Fred: Come on, Ron, you were always saying how boring Scabbers was

Said Fred bracingly.

Fred: And he's been off-color for ages, he was wasting away. It was probably better for him to snuff it quickly one swallow he
probably didn't feel a thing.

Ginny: Fred!

Said Ginny indignantly.

George: All he did was eat and sleep, Ron, you said it yourself

Said George.

Ron: He bit Goyle for us once!

Ron said miserably.

Ron: Remember, Harry?

Harry: Yeah, that's true

Said Harry.

Fred: His finest hour

Said Fred, unable to keep a straight face.

Y/n: Let the scar on Goyle's finger stand as a lasting tribute to his memory. Oh, come on, Ron, get yourself down to Hogsmeade and buy a new rat, what's the point of moaning? If I had the chance I'd would have fend Crookshanks the damn rat

In a last-ditch attempt to cheer Ron up, Harry persuaded him to come along to the Gryffindor team's final practice before the Ravenclaw match, so that he could have a ride on the Firebolt after they'd finished until Y/n told him he can shove it up his ass This did seem to take Ron's mind off Scabbers for a moment

Ron: Great! Can I try and shoot a few goals on it?

Y/n: Don't push it Weasley!

So they set off for the Quidditch field together. Madam Hooch, who was still overseeing Gryffindor practices to keep an
eye on Y/n and Harry, was just as impressed with the Firebolt as everyone else
had been. She took it in her hands before takeoff and gave them the benefit of her professional opinion.

Hooch: Look at the balance on it! If the Nimbus series has a fault, it's a slight list to the tail end you often find they develop a drag after a few years. They've updated the handle too, a bit slimmer than the Cleansweeps, reminds me of the old Silver Arrows, a Pity they've stopped making them. I learned to fly on one, and a very fine old broom it was too....
