FANNY’S POV
 
The next morning in the great hall. We’re is sitting, eating. Harry is twirling his food on a fork.
 
“ Take a bit of toast, mate, go on,” Ron said
“ Ron's right, Harry. You're gonna need your strength today,” said Hermione
“ I'm not hungry,” said Harry.
“Please Harry, at least take a bit of this muffin,” I said and give him the muffin.
“No thank’s,” Harry shooks his head.
“Well, you give me no choice,” I shove the food into Harry’s mouth.
“You’re really persistent person,” Harry said and chew the muffin. I laughed.
 
Snape appears.
 
“ Good luck today, Potter. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you...even if it is against Slytherin,” Snape leaves. His feet is limping.
“ That explains the blood,” Harry said
“ Blood?” Hermione said
“ Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that 3 headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping,” Harry said.
“ But why would anyone go near that dog?” Ron asked
“ The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts' business, very secret,” Harry explained
“ So you're saying...” I said
“ That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants,” Harry said.
 
An owl screeches. It is Hedwig. She is carrying a very large, long parcel. She drops it off.
“ Bit early for mail, isn't it?” Hermione said.
“ But I-I never get mail,” said Harry
“Let's open it.” Said Ron
“ It's a broomstick!” I said
“ Thats not just any broomstick, Harry. It's a Nimbus 2000!” commented Ron.
“But who...?” Harry said
 
He sees Professor McGonagall up at the head table, stroking Hedwig. She smiles and Harry nods.
 
“Come on Harry,” said Oliver.
“See you later,” Harry waves at us.
“Good luck!” I said.
Both Ron and Hermione smirk at me.
“What?” I asked.
“C’mon let’s go watch the game,” Hermione said.
 
The players take their positions in the air in a circle. Harry weaves in, highest amongst. He looks down. The snitch zooms around each Seeker's head, then disappears. Hooch grabs the Quaffle. Gryffindor takes possession of the ball and a chaser, ANGELINA JOHNSON, zooms past Slytherins towards their goal, and throws the ball, and scores! There is a ding. Suddenly, Harry sees the Snitch. He starts to head off after it and then his broom starts bucking and turning.
 
“ Whoa! Whooa!”said Harry.
“ What's going on with Harry's broomstick?” I asked.
 
Hermione looks through binoculars at Harry, then at Snape, who is muttering something.
 
“ It's Snape! He's jinxing the broom!” Hermione said
“ Jinxing the broom? What do we do?” asked Ron
Hermione: Leave it to me. She hands Ron her binoculars and leaves.
 
Harry is knocked around, then falls, dangling by one arm from the broom.
 
“ Come on, Hermione!” said Ron
 After a few minutes, Harry finally sit back into his broom

“ Go!” I said
“ Go go go!” said Ron
 
Harry rams the Slytherin Seeker, then is butted out. He returns, smashing the Seeker again as the Snitch dives. The boys follow, but they approach the ground quickly. The Slytherin Seeker backs out, and Harry pulls up his broom as he follows the Snitch, feet above the ground.Harry stands up, and steps forward, trying to grab the ball. He goes too far, and topples off the broom with a yelp, tumbling on the ground. He gets up and lurches. The crowd gasps
 
“ Looks like he's gonna be sick!” I said
 
Harry lurches and the Snitch pops out of his mouth. It lands in his hands.
 
“ He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!” said Lee
“ Gryffindor win!” said madam Hooch and blow her whistle
 
All the Gryffindor screams and cheer.
 “Whoo-hoo!” said Hermione.
 
Harry raises the Snitch into the air and the crowd, and his team, cheers.
“Congratulation Harry!” Hermione gives Harry a hug.
“Well done mate,” Ron pat his back.
Suddenly, Harry pulls me into a hug. “Congratulation Harry.” I whispered. Harry release his hug and I feel my face turns red.
 
After the game, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and I are walking along a path with Hagrid, talking.
 
“ Nonsense. Why would Snape put a curse on Harry's broom?” said Hagrid.
“ Who knows. Why was he trying to get past that 3 headed dog on Halloween?” said Harry
“ Who told you 'bout Fluffy?” asked Hagrid.
“ Fluffy?” I asked
“ That thing has a name?” asked Ron.
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,” Hagrid stop
“ Yes?” Ron said
“ Shouldn'ta said that. Don't ask any more questions. That's top secret, that is.” Said Hagrid
“ But Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it!” said Harry
“ Codswallop. Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher.” Said Hagrid
“ Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a curse when I see one. I've read all about them. You have to keep eye contact. And Snape wasn't blinking.” Hermione explained
“ Exactly,” Harry said
“ Now, you listen to me, all three of you. You're meddlin' in things that ought not to be meddled in.
 
It's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel,” he said.
 
“ Nicholas Flamel?” said Harry
“ I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that. I should not have said that,” said Hagrid.
“ Nicholas Flamel...Who's Nicholas Flamel?” I asked
“ I don't know.” Said Hermione
