A few days had passed since the troll incident. I went straight to Harry in the hall in the morning. Partly to piss Draco off, but I also thought he'd want to talk anyway.

"I assume from Draco's glare right now that he isn't okay with you talking to us Gryffindors" Hermione said, and I glanced over my shoulder to see his sharp stare on me.

"Let him sulk," I said, turning back to harry. Snape hobbled past us out of the hall, still limping.

"Guys, did you see Snape's leg the other night?" I asked, just remembering the cut in his robes and shin. Hermione and Ron shook their heads.

"About that," Harry began, "I think Snape tried to get past that dog the night the troll was here." I frowned, how did that make any sense? "I think he bought in the troll to use as a distraction and tried to get through the trapdoor and failed. It would explain the limp."

"But why would he want to get past that thing?" I asked.

"I think the thing Hagrid got out of vault 713 in Gringotts is behind that trapdoor. And for whatever reason, he wants it." Harry explains. It felt a little farfetched to me.

I left him with his thoughts and went back to then Slytherin table, completely ignoring the glare I was receiving from Draco. When the mail arrived, I noticed Harry was sent a broomstick and I wondered who sent him it.

"You want to join them so bad huh?" Draco whispered beside me frowning.

"No, I'm happy in Slytherin. I just wish there was less contradiction about it and who I spoke to." I said back. And I wondered if anything would be different if I had been housed in Gryffindor.

Me, Zabini and Notts headed to the Quidditch pitch together after charms class for the Slytherin VS Gryffindor game. I didn't know what to expect as it was Harry's first game and he'd only had one quidditch practise with Wood, and I didn't know who exactly to support.

We entered the stands and walked over to Malfoy, Daphne and Goyle at the front.

"See Potter, this is exactly why you can't support both houses." Malfoy stated, glancing at me as I saw Harry on his broom in the starting place of a seeker.

"If quidditch is your only reasoning I think I'll be fine," I said as Daphne laughed, and he frowned at this, clearly not liking my lack of care about the situation.

Madame Hooch took the pitch introducing the game, and then the quaffel was released, along with the snitch and bludger, and the game began.
