The first week of classes after the break had passed and it was now the day of the deciding quidditch match. Gryffindor against Slytherin.

I realised thatthe most fun about quidditch nowadays is the commentary. Lee Jordan, the twins' friend, is commentating in the most hilarious ways. He clearly prefers Gryffindor as he is one of them. You'll get what I mean if I tell you what he's saying during the match.

It already started at the introduction.
" and here are the Gryffindors!"he yelked. "Potter, Bell, Johnson, Spinnet, Weasley, Weasley and Wood. Widely acknowledged as the best side Hogwarts has seen in a few years-". See what I mean? Then he continued with the opposing team. "and here come the Slytherin team, led by captain Flint. He's made some changes in the line-up and seems to be going for size rather than skill-" to be honest he had a point, but still.

And then during the game he just continues being his amazing self. I mean go Jordan!
" and it's Gryffindor in possesion, Alicia Spinnet of Gryffindor with the quaffle, heading straight for the Slytherin goalposts, looking good, Alicia! Argh no - Quaffle intercepted by Warrington, Warrington of Slytherin tearing up the pitch - WHAM - nice Bludger work there by George Weasley, Warrington drops the Quaffle, it's caught by - Johnson, Gryffindor back in possession, come on Angelina - nice swerve round Montague - duck, Angelina, that's a bludger! - SHE SCORES! TEN-ZERO TO GRYFFINDOR!" His happiness just makes me laugh. He doesn't seem to have a care in the world except for this quidditch match.

A moment later Flint attacked Angelina which made Fred Weasley attack him. This resulted in a penalty for both teams. Again with Lee's happy red and gold commentary.
"Come on, Alicia! YES! SHE'S BEATEN THE KEEPER! TWENTY ZERO TO GRYFFINDOR!" After this Flint went to takehis penalty. "'Course, Wood's a superb Keeper! Superb! Very difficult to pass - very difficult indeed - YES! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! HE'S SAVED IT!" This kind of commentary continued through the match.

After another few faults Draco had taken it upon himself to grip on Harry's broomstick. This resulted in stronger language coming from Lee. Prof McG didn't even bother to stop him as he raged.
" YOU CHEATING SCUM! YOU FILTHY, CHEATING B-"
After a few more minutes Harry caught the Snitch and the stadium went wild. You saw the team flying to one another, hugging. Wood was sobbing and next to him you could see Minnie sobbing even harder. You had Percy jumping up and down like a maniac. You just saw everyone go nuts.

The euphoria of the win couldn't last very long. As the exams came closer, you could see everyone getting more and more stress. I, myself wasn't to stressed. I don't need a job to survive so if I would fail my N.E.W.T.'s, I'll be fine. But I don't think I'll fail them.

On the sixth of June, the month not me or my mother, Cornelius Fudge appeared. He was talking to Harry when Hermione spotted me and signalled me to go to him. I did as told and made my way to the minister.
"Minister? I don't believe we have met yet? I'm June Malfoy, Lucius' niece. I was wondering if I could talk to you?" My voive was polite, yet demanding as well. The minister nodded and left Harry to his friends to come talk to me.
"Yes miss. Malfoy?" "I understand you're here for thedisposal of a Hippogrif named Buckbeak?"
"Yes, I am."
"Ah well, I think my uncle may have made a mistake when he said the animal was mad. You must excuse him, he was just upset over Draco injury. That injury was only a scratch to be honest. I think his pride was hurt more than his arm. Therefore I think it's best if you would let the case rest. Buckbeak isn't dangerous at all. I've seen him. Such a calm hippogrif. I know my uncle must agree with me. You can ask him if you'd like. Just tell him that in MY opinion, the hippogrif shouldn't die and I'm sure he'll agree."
Fudge seemed a bit at a loss of words. I quess I can come off as quite intimidating. Oh well adventually he just nodded and said he was off to the owlery.
I winked at Hermione and left to Remus's office.

A little time later Hermione came by to tell me Buckbeak wasn't going to get killed. I quess uncle Lucius knows to not go against me. She said they were going to Hagrid to celebrate tonight at six. She invited me to come with, but I declined. It's a full moon tonight, Remus needs me.

Later that night, I was watching the trio go to Hagrid when I spotted a name. A name that's not supposed to be here. Peter Pettigrew. That git! He must be in ratform. Oh Merlin, Ron has a bloody rat. Dang it!

"Moony! I found him!"
"Found who, cub?"
"Wormtail! The damn git is with the trio!" I pointed at the Map and saw the colour leave Remus' face as he spotted it too. He stood up and made to leave, but i stopped him.
"Where do you think you're going? It's a full moon! You're going to stay here and take you potion while I go catch that rat and bring him to Dumbles." Remus seemed to want to protest but knew I was right and gave in.

A few minutes later I was stalking the trio plus rat when their dots started moving faster. In response I started running as well. Oh no daddy dearest had made his appearance as well. Oh dear, he's going to make this all a lot more difficult.

I was right.
