GRINGOTTS BREAK-IN LATEST

Investigations continue into the break-in at Gringotts on 31 july, widely believed to be the work of dark widards or witches unknown.
Gringotts goblins today insisted that nothing had been taken. The vault that was searched had in fact been emptied the same day.

"But were not telling you what was in there, so keep your noses out if you know what's good for you." Said a Gringotts spokesgoblin this afternoon.

I picked up the news paper named "Daily Prophet" I remembered Neville telling me something about this in the train but he didn't metion anything about the date.

"Hagrid!" I said that caught Hagrid's attention. "That Gringotts break-in happened in my birthday it might have been happening while we were there!" I exclaimed catching my friend and rivals' attention.

Hagrid didn't looked at my eyes again he just gave me another one of his rock cakes, and I read the story again.

"The vault that was searohad been in fact been emptied earlier the same day."

Hagrid emptied vault seven hundred and thirteen, well if that's what you call emptying, taking out that little grubby little package.

Is that what's the thieves looking for?
As we walked back to the castle for dinner our pockets weighed down because of the rock cakes. We were too polite to refuse. I kept on thinking about the package.


Where is it now?

I NEVER thought I would hate anybody more annoying than Dudley Dursley. But here Draco Malfoy. Wow just wow.

First year Gryffindor and Slytherins had potions together so we didn't have to put up with Draco that much well, until we saw this notice that make all of us groan.

Flying lessons will start on Thursday — and that Gryffindor and Slytherin will be learning together.

"Typical." I said darkly, "just what I always wanted to make a fool of myself." I said, Neville just patted me in the shoulder. I am glad that I met him, He is the closest thing to I family that I have, and I would not lose him.

We proceed to the great hall to have breakfast. Oh well. I sat beside Hermione who's reading a book, and Padma who's chatting with her while she's reading "Quidditch through the ages." I heard Hermione sigh. I think she had never been on a broomstick before too. She kept on reading and trying to chat until our breakfast arrived. We ate in silence, then I heard the squeaking of owls. The mail must be here.

A barn owl gave Neville a small package. He took it out and it revealed a Remembrall. "It's a Remembrall!" He exclaimed, Everyone nodded, well except for me and Hermione. I think we already know what it is. It's a ball that turns red whenever you forgot something. "Congratulations Nev." I said, He smiled, "Thanks Harry."

He started blabbering about his Remembrall when Draco and his henchmen suddenly snatched it from his hand. I stood up ready to have a argument with him when Professor McGonagall came in a flash. Does she have a cignal or something?

"What's happening?" She asked. "He's got my Remembrall, Professor." Neville replied. Scowling, Malfoy dropped the Remembrall then walked away. In the afternoon we hurried down to the grounds for our flying lesson with Madam Hooch. The broomsticks were already there so is the the Slytherins standing by the broomsticks. Our teacher, Madam Hooch arrived she had short, gray hair with a yellow eyes like a hawk.

"Well, what are all waiting for?" She barked, "everyone stand by a broomstick, come on now hurry up!"

"Stick out your right hand over your broom," called Madam Hooch, "and say UP!" She said loud enough so everyone can hear. "Up!" Everyone shouted at once mine jumped into my hand at once. Maybe, broomsticks are like horses they can tell if you are afraid. Though some had a hard time getting the brrom to go up, like Neville and Hermione, Padma got hers. She said earlier that it was like a flying carpet.

"Now, when I blew my whistle, you kick off the ground, hard!" She said, "rise a few feet then come back straight by leaning forward." I remembered her simple orders in my head, Three—two." She said then whistled. I rose a few feet and came back to the ground again.

But Neville, he rose above 12 feet in the air. I saw his scared white face as he looked down. He looked at me, "Help!" He shouted. The next thing we know we heard a loud thud! When Neville fell to the ground. Madam Hooch hurriedly came over Neville.

"Broken wrist." She muttered. Then she looked at all of us. "None of you move while I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing! If I see one broom in the air you'll be out of Hogwarts brfore you can say Quidditch." She said, as she helped Neville walk. Poor Neville.

"Did you see his face? The great lump." Said Draco. The other Slytherins joined in. "Shup up Malfoy!" Said Padma, making them look at her. "Ohhh, sticking out for Longbottom?" Said Pansy Parkinson, a hard-faced Slytherin girl. "Never thought you'd like fat little cry babies, Padma."


"Look!" Malfoy said. He snatched Neville's Remembrall. "Give it here Malfoy." I said smirking. Everyone stopped talking to watch. Malfoy just gave me a nasty smile. I smell trouble.

"I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find." Draco said, with this annoying smirk. "How about the roof?"

"Give it here!" I shouted, but Malfoy already had leapt to his broomstick and taken off. Well, he hadn't been lying he's a good flyer.

"Come get it, Potter!" I grabbed my bro when I felt a hand suddenly grabbed me. "No!" I turned around to see Hermione looking at me straight in the eyes. "You heard what Madam Hooch said and besides you don't even know how to fly. You could get hurt!"

But I ignored her knowing that she cares about me makes me grin.

"Hey!" She grabbed my hand once again. "If you do this and get hurt, Neville will blame himself." She threatened me, I ignored her one more. She just shook his head and ran away. I  mounted the broom and kicked hard against the ground and up, up I soared. I pulled my broomstick a little to take it even higher and I heard screams and gasps of girls in the back.

"Give it here!" I shouted, "or I'll knock you off your broom." I shouted again, but he seemed confident.

"Oh yeah?" Malfoy said. I leaned towards him and I grasped the broom with both hands, and shot it towards Malfoy like a Javelin. Malfoy only just hot out of the way in time

"Have it your way then." He said then threw the glassball high into the air and it streaked towards the ground.

I saw it though in slow motion. So I leaned forward pointing the broom and handle down—next sexond I was gathering all the speed in a steep and racing the ball. I stretched out my hands it was just a foot from the ground. I caught it! I return happily with the Remembrall in my hands.

"HARRY POTTER!" I turned around to see the head of my housr, the deputy mistress, Professor McGonagall. Good luck to me.
