Jack Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

First Quidditch Match

Jack's POV

"Go on have a little of it, go on" Ron said trying to encourage Harry to eat.  Meanwhile I continued to ate my bacon and toast happily. Harry is nervous about the quidditch match which is the first one he has ever been in. To make matters worse it is against Slytherin. I was in a cheery mood though at the thought of flying around during the match, even the I wasn't playing.

"He's right Harry you are going to need your strength today" Hermione states and I nod my head in agreement before I drinking some apple juice.

"Good luck today Potter, though now you have proven yourself against a troll. A special game of quidditch should be easy" Snape sneered from behind Harry.

"Why don't you leave my brother alone Snape" I tell him angrily. We haven't never fought this much before. But I hated how he treated Harry one way and me an other only because he raised me. "Come on Harry lets go down to the pitch" I state grabbing his arm and a plate of buttered toast for him to ate. As we walked down to the pitch where our brooms and robes were already waiting. I made him ate two pieces of buttered toast.

When we arrived at the pitch we went to our separate change rooms. His in the Gryffindor teams change room and mine in Madame Hooch's change room. Again I was being treated differently and I hated it. Why couldn't I get changed in the Gryffindor change room, when Harry was the only one there. My assistant robes were black and white like Madame Hooch's.

Madame Hooch arrived already dressed and went through my roll one last time before we carried the chest of quidditch balls to the pitch. The two teams were already there, hovering in a circle facing each other. I heard Lee announcing mine and Madame Hooch's arrival. "Now I want a nice clean game, from all of you" Madame Hooch states as I release both the bludgers and the snitch.

I then gave her the quaffle and grabbed both of our brooms as she threw it into the air. "The Quaffle is released and the game begins" Lee announces. Madame Hooch took her broom and we both shot up into the air. I went near the Slytherin stands where I was told to be when not circling the field and if none of the players were in trouble.

Gryffindor were leading by twenty points as I finished my first circle of the field. When trouble occurred as Harry's broom started to go haywire. He was only just managing to hold on when he was thrown off his broom. I flew below him avoiding the other players just encase he falls, so that I can catch. I had my wound at the ready, but couldn't think of a way to counter what was happening to Harry's broom.

There was a commotion the teachers stand and Harry's broom stopped trying to throw him off. Harry swung back onto his broom and flew after the snitch which the other seeker was already trying to catch. I watched as they kept ramming into each other trying to get the other off their broom as I went back to the Slytherin stands.

Just then Harry and Slytherin seeker dove towards the ground still chasing the snitch. It took a lot in me not to follow them to insure Harry doesn't get hurt. As the Slytherin seeker pulled out of the dive Harry leveled out at the last minute. He stood on his broom as he stretched his hand out towards the snitch.

But he moved one of his feet forward unbalancing the broom making him fall off. Lucky he was only a few feet from the ground. He then stood up again spitting the snitch into his hands. "Harry Potter has caught the snitch" Lee announced.

Madame Hooch announcing Gryffindors victory as I heard someone groan "no" behind me. I turned to see Draco with his face in his hands.

"That's my brother Draco" I state and as he looked at me I flew towards Harry. I reached him as the rest of the Gryffindor team did. They lifted him into the ear as we all cheered. Hermione and Ron joined me as we followed the team back to the castle. While the twins were already planning a party for Gryffindor tower after dinner.
