Chapter Five

Y/n's Pov

It's the beginning of the first Quidditch match. I'm quite nervous for our team, but I'm sure they'll do well.

"Hello, and welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game is Slytherin versus Gryffindor!!!" The commentator announces as all the players fly up. All the other players take their positions while the Slytherin seeker and Potter float higher above the rest.

"The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game."

"Now, I want a nice, clean match from all of you." Madam Hooch tells the players while looking at the Slytherin team. She kicks the trunk open 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." Lee announces. The Snitch did a circle around the Slytherin seeker's head then went over to Potter and did a circle around his head before then disappearing. Madam Hooch leans down to the trunk and takes the quaffle out, throwing it up into the air.

"The Quaffle is released... and the game begins!" Gryffindor has possession of the Quaffle most of the time. I'm not really paying attention, I'm just trying to focus on spotting the Snitch.

The game goes on, both teams scoring points and throwing dirty looks to each other as the crowd cheers and boos. Beside me, Draco squints his eyes and nudges my arm, pointing over to where Potter is on the field.

"Whoa! Whoaaa!" Potter shouts. I take binoculars from Crabbe and Goyle to try and get a closer look at what the absolute hell is going on. He gets thrown off his broom and is hanging from it by one arm. Oh wow. If he lets go, he's going to die... that's an embarrassing way to die.

"What the bloody hell is he doing?" Draco exclaims, watching as the broom bucks up and down.

"He's probably not doing it on purpose," I remark, watching as the broom stops and he pulls himself back up. "It might've been jinxed." Draco just goes back to the game and keeps cheering.

Disappointingly, Gryffindor ends up winning the match due to Potter catching the Snitch. The catch was impressive, I will admit that. It was gross when he threw it up though, it made me want to throw up as well.

Ray's Pov

"Nonsense! Why would Snape put a curse on Harry's broom?" Hagrid asks in a baffled tone. It's the end of the Quidditch match and I'm currently headed down to Hagrid's hut with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Norman, and Emma.

"Who knows? Why was he trying to get past that three-headed dog on Halloween?" Harry questions.

"Who told you 'bout Fluffy?"

"Fluffy?" Ron sounds shocked.

"That thing has a name?" Hermione inquires in disbelief.

"Well, of course he's got a name. He's mine. I bought him off an Irish feller I met down at the pub last year. Then I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the..."

"Yes?" Emma pushes.

"Shouldn't have said that. No more questions! Don't ask any more questions. That's top secret, that is."

"But, Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it." Norman argues.

"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." I inform him.

"Exactly." Hermione agrees.

"Now, you listen to me, all five 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?" Emma and Norman echo.

"I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that." Hagrid walks off while muttering to himself.

"Nicholas Flamel?" Harry turns to Hermione. "Who's Nicholas Flamel?" Hermione only shakes her head with a quiet sigh.

"I don't know."

Time skip

It's dinner time and I'm sitting at the Slytherin table. I don't usually like to sit here but I have to for dinner time, it's the only thing my prefect has asked of me so I guess I should abide. He asked me to do it for; "house spirit". He's a nice guy so of course I agreed to sitting at the Slytherin table for dinner.

The table is full of the usual chatter. Malfoy saying something stupid and his goonies laughing. Parkinson and Zabini talking about what not, and occasionally L/n giving her input while talking to Nott. Never knew that Nott and L/n were friends. Whatever, it doesn't concern me.

Well, since I've finished eating I should probably head back to the dorms. I stand up, whilst doing so I notice Zabini, Parkinson, L/n, Malfoy and his goonies do the same. We all look at each other, and in some sort of mutual agreement, choose to ignore each other, then head down to our dorms.

Y/n's Pov

At the dorm the room is silent, the other girls haven't finished their dinners yet. Pansy and I are in our beds, laying down and relaxing before we go to sleep. The silence is only broken by the sound of me flipping through the pages of my Astronomy book. Pansy lays on her stomach, sorting through her jewelry that she brought to Hogwarts.

"Are you nervous for tomorrow, Y/n?" She asks, breaking the silence in the dorm.

"What do you mean Pansy?" My book closes with a quiet thud as I roll over to look at her.

"Tomorrow is your first class of Astronomy."

"And?"

"None of us have that class with you."

"I forgot about that to be honest..."

"Yeah," She sighs, running a hand through her hair. "I thought you did. Will you be ok?"

"Don't worry Pansy, I'm going to be fine."

I'm sure everything is going to be just fine.
