Outside,it's day time.Oliver and Harry appear,carrying a trunk.They put it down.Erza also is with them
"Quidditch is easy enough to understand.Each time has seven players,3 chasers,2 beaters,1 keeper,and a seeker that's you.There can also be backups,for example,Cana is a backup Keeper and Chaser.There are three kinds of balls." He picks up a red one."This one's called the Quaffle.Now,the chasers handle the Quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops." Points to a faraway Quidditch pitch. "The keeper,that's me,defends the hoops." He throws ball to Erza. "You both with me so far?" Erza throws it back. "I think so." "What are those?" Harry asks,pointing to two squirming chained down balls.
"You better take this." He hands Erza a small bat. He bends down and releases one ball.With an angry growl,it flies off into the air.The two boys and one girl watch it. "Careful now,it's comin' back." The balls comes whizzing down, and Erza cracks at it HARD with the bat.The ball soars off through a statue "Eh, not bad,Erza,you'd make a fair beater.I'll consider you to be a back up as well." He states,amazed. "That's nothing,she also took fencing." Harry explains. "Uh-oh." The ball zooms down,and Oliver grabs it,wriggling to get it back in the box.He succeeds and is out of breath. "Bludger.Nasty little buggers.But the only ball I want you to worry about Harry..is this,the Golden Snitch." He hands Harry a walnut sized golden ball. "I like this ball." Harry says,admiring it.
"Ah,you like it now.Just wait.It's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see." Oliver explains
"What do I do with it?"
"You catch it...before the other team's seeker.You catch this,the game is over.You catch this,Potter,and we win."
The ball flutters out two delicate wings and jumps into the air.Harry keeps an eye on it. "Whoa."

Soon,we switch to Professor Makarov Dumbledore's class.The teacher is very short,and is standing on a bunch of books.
To think,he's related to Headmaster Dumbledore. Lucy thinks to herself
"Now,one of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers?" Makarov soon asks.Meredy raises hers.
"Good.Now,uh,don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, hmm?The swish and flick.Everyone." He says.They all speak "The swish and flick."
"Good.And enunciate.Wingardium Leviosa.Off you go then."
"Wingardium Levio-saaa." Draco speaks.They all practice.
"Wingardrium Leviosar." He whacks with wand numerous times.Meredy stops him.
"Stop,stop,stop.You're going to take someone's eye out.Besides,you're saying it wrong.It's Leviosa,not Leviosar." Meredy explains to him. "You do it then if you're so clever.Go on,go on." Ron says snootily.Meredy straightens up and swishes her wand.Meredy speaks crisply 'Wingardium Leviosa.. The feather glows and lifts up.Ron puts his head on his books dejectedly,growling under his breath. "Oh,well done!See here, everyone!Ms. Milkovich's done it!Oh,splendid!"
Jet begins swishing at his feather."Wingardium Leviosa,Wingardium Leviosa.
Flitwick to Hermione "Well done, dear."
BOOOM!!!Jet's feather explodes.Flitwick gasps."Whooaaa!Ooh."
"I think we're going to need another feather over here,Professor." Harry says

Neville,Michelle,Harry,Erza,Ron,Natsu,Gray,and Jet are walking through a courtyard with other students all around.
"It's Leviosa, not Leviosar. Honestly, she's a nightmare. No wonder she hasn't got any friends!
Meredy bustles past,sniffling.Lucy,Levy,Juvia,and Michelle go after her.
"I think she heard you." Erza says,glaring at Ron.

Later at night,in the great hall. It is Halloween. Everyone is eating candy, and Jack O'Lanterns are keeping the place lit. Mirajane is all wearing black,she looks like she has gotten back from a funeral.Severus notices this and he looks to her. "You visited,didn't you Ms.Strauss." Mirajane nods. "I visited this morning....so that's why I didn't see you this morning when you delivered breakfast." Mirajane still says nothing.Sighing,Severus pulls Mirajane closer to him.Ignoring the blush on her face,she speaks in a melancholy tone. "Why couldn't it have been me?" She asks. "I could've taken the blow AND kill bloody You-Know-How at the same time.She'd still be alive.You two probably would've gotten together at some point in time and raised the Potter twins." Severus soon speaks up. "Then where would we be without you?" Mirajane looks up to him. "We'd be stuck with a dull Transfiguration professor and we'd be missing you all the time.Geez Mirajane,you're still the insecure,nonsense girl I met on that bloody train." Blushing lightly this time,she smiles,tears threatening to come out. "Sevvy..." "Please stop calling me that Mirajane."
"Where's Meredy?"
"Michelle said that she wouldn't come out of the girl's bathroom.She said that she'd been in there all afternoon...crying." Neville explains.Soon,Michelle comes back. "She still won't come out.Lucy and Juvia are staying with her."
Ron and Harry exchange glances.Suddenly,Professor Quirrell comes flying into the room,screaming.
"TROLL!IN THE DUNGEON!T-TROOLLL IN THE DUNGEON!!" He stops and there is utter silence. "Thought you ought to know." He falls over in a dead faint.The room is silent and then everyone freaks,eventually screaming and running.
Albus yells. "SILLLLLEEENNNNCEEEEE!" Everyone stops. "Everyone will please, not panic.Now,Prefects will lead their houses back to the dormitories.Teachers will follow me to the dungeons."
"Hufflepuffs,this way!"
"Stay together!"
Snape looks aghast,and he disappears through a doorway.Mirajane sneaks through,heading somewhere else.
