It was now after Christmas break and I was in the Chamber of Secrets, reading about the Philosopher's Stone and its creator Nicolas Flamel. "Gusy, I found something on Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone!" I yell to the other's. They all walk in and sit around me. "Look." I say. The ancient study of alchemy is concerned with making the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The Stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal. There have been many reports of the Philosopher's Stone over the centuries, but the only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr Nicolas Flamel, the noted alchemist and opera-lover. Mr Flamel, who celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year, enjoys a quiet life in Devon with his wife, Perenelle (six hundred and fifty eight). "That's what Dumbledore has for the 'Golden Trio'." I say to them. "We need a plan to make sure they don't get the Stone." Draco says. "Agreed." I say as the other's nod in agreement. "I'm going to do some homework, and figure out a plan." I say and get up and walk towards the common room. I started my homework for Potions first and then started my other classes. After I did my homework, I started working out a plan to prevent the Stone from being stolen. By the time I was done with everything it was already time for bed, so I went up to my dorm and fell asleep.
The next morning, I went to breakfast, before going to my first class which was Potions, since it was Monday. After Potions, I went to Flying class, and asked Madam Hooch when the first Quidditch match was. "The first match is in three weeks, so I would start practicing because Gryffindor has Potter as their seeker now." Madam Hooch says and blows her whistle signaling the beginning of class.
After classes that day, I went to the Quidditch Pitch because Flint, the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, called for practice and so he could introduce me to the rest of the team. "Alright everyone!" Flint said when everyone was there. "We have a new member to the team." He said to them. "This is Winta." Flint said, introducing me. "She's a pretty damned good flier, so there should be no reason we lose the quidditch cup this year." Flint said and walked us onto the pitch. Flint blew his whistle and I took flight and waited for them to release the snitch. He released the snitch and I flew around, waiting to spot it. I see the snitch and start flying after it at top speed. It started diving, so I followed, not slowing down at all. The other players thought I was going to crash, but I grabbed the snitch and pulled up really fast. They all gasped in shock and started clapping. "That was really cool." One of the team members, Adrian Pucey said to me. "Thanks." I say and let the snitch go, and waited for a few minutes before flying after it. The snitch started flying up, so I flew after it. It flew into the clouds, and it started diving straight down. I flew after it and it leveled out just above the middle goal post and stood on my broom, with my hand out to reach the snitch. I jumped off the broom and grabbed hold of the snitch and summoned my broom and mounted it flying towards the ground. Everyone looked at me in surprise as they all recovered from what just happened. I laughed and continued practicing. After practice I went to the Chamber of Secrets and told the other's about the Quidditch practice. "YOU WHAT?!" says Draco. We all laughed and continued talking. We went to bed after talking for a while. Over the next few weeks, I started training for the upcoming Quidditch match extremely hard, not wanting to lose the Quidditch game against Potter.
I woke up on the day of the Quidditch match and got ready for the day and went up to breakfast with the Slytherin team. We got to the Great Hall and I sat down at the Slytherin table since I'm technically in every house, and started talking about our strategies. After breakfast, we went to the Quidditch pitch, and into the Slytherin changing rooms to change into our Quidditch uniform. We all changed into our uniforms and Flint started giving us the pre-match speech. "Alright everyone, this is our time to finally win the Quidditch house cup this year." He said and led us onto the pitch. "And here is the Slytherin Quidditch team!" The commenter, Lee Jordan said. "Flint, Montague, Warrington, Derrick, Bole, and the new Seeker, Winta Malfoy." Lee Jordan says. We walked to the center of the pitch and waited for the game to start. "Now, I want a nice, clean game, from all of you." Madam Hooch says and blows her whistle signaling the start of the match. I flew into the air, above everyone else, as the game began. I started flying around the pitch, to look for the Golden Snitch. I saw the Golden Snitch hovering just above the Gryffindor goal post. I fly towards the snitch at top speed. I see Potter following me so I go faster, and stand up on my broom and once I'm close enough, I jump towards the snitch and grab it. There was a sound of gasps from everyone as they tried to figure out what they just witnessed. I grabbed my broom and flew to the center of the pitch. "Winta has the Snitch, that's a hundred and fifty points to Slytherin!" Lee Jordan says over the cheering of the Slytherin's, Hufflepuff's, Ravenclaw's, and the few Silverwings, and the booing of the Gryffindors. All of my friends and teammates came over and hugged me. "We won!" Flint says "You're a pretty good flier." Warrington says. "Thanks. I knew Potter was going to get the snitch, so I jumped off the broom and grabbed it before he could do anything, and I grabbed my broom before I hit the ground." I say. "Winta, please don't do that again." Draco said, looking extremely pale. I laughed. "No promises." I say and pat him on the back. We walked back to the changing rooms and got back into our regular clothes. After we got back into our regular clothes, we went back to the castle. As we were walking, Potter, and the Gryffindor team walked up to me and started asking questions. "How did you do that?" Says Angelina, one of the Chasers for the Gryffindor team asks. "Where did you learn to fly like that?" The Gryffindor Quidditch captain asked. "I actually know how to fly and I train on my own every single day." I said to them and walked away from them and towards the Silverwing common room to get ready for a party in the Slytherin common room. I put on black dress with black lace up heels, a black crystal necklace and black nails. I left the Silverwing common room and went to the dungeons towards the Slytherin common room. When I get to the Slytherin Common room entrance, it recognizes me as a descendant of the founders of Hogwarts, so It let me in without the password. I go inside and see the place decorated with the signature colors of Slytherin: green and silver. Flint walks over to me and leads me to the others. "Hey guys!" I said. "Hey, there's the best seeker in Hogwarts." Pucey said. "Thanks." I said "I love the dress." Montague said to me, handing me a drink. "Thanks." I said, taking the drink from him. A few second years walked over to me and asked me how I caught my broom and the snitch. I chuckled and told them. After I told them, they were left shocked and amazed. They run back to their friends, giggling. "You are probably the best seeker at Hogwarts." Warrington said. I chuckled and took a sip of my drink. "Well, I've been practicing and training for a long time." I say and put the drink down. "Seriously, you should try out for a professional Quidditch team when you graduate from Hogwarts." Flint said. "Yeah, I've thought about it." I replied. "Well you're better than most." Derrick said. "Yeah." I said and took another drink. After the party, I went back to the Silverwing common room and changed back into some more comfortable clothes. I went to bed early, because I was extremely tired.
