The month of October was approaching unexpectedly in that year of Hogwarts. The students were quite excited by the party that should be held in that month: Halloween. But it was not yet the long awaited day, because they were still at the end of September. At meal time, the Gryffindor table seemed to be pretty busy with the arrival of the mail, and Harry noticed something strange.

-Guys, someone has entered Gringotts. -Harry commented while he observed Ron and Hermione-. Listen: <<Investigations continue into the break-in at on , widely believed to be the work of unknown. Gringotts today insisted that nothing had been taken. The vault that was searched had in fact been emptied the same day>>. -the child read with interest and a note of mystery-. That's strange... That's the camera I entered with Hagrid...

The three Gryffindors looked seriously at each other, since they didn't believe that it had been a mere coincidence. Hermione saw trough the corner of the eye, Cora going towards the Slytherin table and sighed.

-I don't know how Cora can endure being in Slytherin, and more being Malfoy with her almost at any time... -Hermione muttered between teeth.

-It's true. I can only hope that the next month she'll be in our house or in Ravenclaw... -Harry said.

-That reminds me... today we have our first class of flight... But we will be with Slytherin. -mentioned Ron slightly angry-. Why with Slytherin? I already had enough with having to share the potions class with them...

The other two nodded, since they had found out that morning that they were going to have another class with the pupils of the house of the snake.

-But at least Cora will be with us. -said Harry slightly satisfied.

-Harry, it seems to me that you are very interested in Cora... -mentioned Ron with intent.

-Wh-what!? Don't say nonesense! -exclaimed Harry-. I just want to be her friend... And with luck, to make her move away from Malfoy.

-Sure, sure... -said Hermione with a smile.


That same afternoon, at three o'clock, Harry and the other Gryffindor students went running down the stairs to get to the park, where their first class of flight would take place. The meadow to which they were heading was located in an opposite way to the forbidden forest, whose trees waved with a dark air. When Harry and the others arrived, the Slytherin students were already there, as well as twenty brooms lined up on the ground.

-Good afternoon students. -said the profesor of gray hair and yellow eyes, while she walked among them.

-Good afternoon Madam Hooch. -the students said.

-Welcome to flight class! -Professor Hooch exclaimed with a smile-. Well, what are you waiting for? -she said-. Everyone on the left side of your broom. Come on, quickly.

The students did what Professor Hooch had commanded them, and placed themselves to the left of their respective broom.

-Extend your hand on the broom -told them the professor- and say <up>.

-UP! -everyone exclaimed.

Almost in an immediate way, Harry's and Cora's brooms rose quickly towards their hands. The two children looked at each other and smiled with happiness (to envy of Malfoy, who watched them).

-Up. -said Malfoy with certain air of superiority, as if he already mastered completely his broom. This one rose as fast as that of Harry and Cora.

-Very well, Draco! -exclaimed the crimson eyed girl.

Once all students had managed to held their brooms, Professor Hooch proceeded to give further instructions.
