Scarlet's p.o.v 

The next morning, I saw Ron and Hermione trying to convince Harry to eat so I decided to help them.

"Take a bit of toast, mate. Go on." Ron said. "Ron's right Harry, you're going to need your strength today." Hermione said trying to coax Harry into eating. "Yeah come on Harry eat something, we don't want you passing out on your first quidditch match would we?" I said jokingly. "I'm not hungry." Harry said looking slightly terrified.

"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 said in his usual monotone voice. He then limped away making me quite suspicious.

"That explains the blood." Harry said. "Blood?" Hermione asked confused. "Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as diversion so he could get past that three headed dog. But, he got bit, that's why he's limping." Harry said in a whisper. "But why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione asked.

"What dog?" I asked feeling very confused. "We were walking on the third floor  corridor and Filch was following us so we ran into a locked room" Harry said. "But you're not allowed to go in there" I said shocked. "And for good reason, there is a three headed dog in there!" Ron said.

"The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. Said it was Hogwarts business, very secret." Harry continued. "So you're saying-" Hermione started. "That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants." Harry said. "Wait, Snape wants it?" I asked. "We think so" Harry replied.

Suddenly Hedwig comes flying in carrying a broom shaped package. She drops it in front of Harry. "A bit early for mail isn't it?" Hermione asked. "But, I never get mail." Harry said sounding surprised.

"Let's open it." Ron said. We tore off the packaging paper. "It's a broomstick." Harry said. "It's not just a broomstick, Harry. It's a Nimbus 2000!" Ron said in awe. "But who-?" Harry asked. We glanced up and see that Hedwig had landed near McGonagall. McGonagall looked at us and smiled.
"Now time for lessons" Hermione said earning herself groans from Ron and Harry.

After lessons I got changed into something more comfortable and walked down to the quidditch field. I stood in the Gryffindor stands, wearing a Slytherin scarf and getting a few strange looks, in between Hermione and Ron craning my neck trying to see Harry, Fred, George and the rest of the Gryffindor team enter.
Then I saw both teams enter. Slytherin was in emerald green robes and Gryffindor are in deep red robes.

"Hello! Welcome to Hogwart's first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game: Slytherin vs. Gryffindor! The players take their positions as Madam Hooch step onto the field to begin the game!” Lee Jordan said as he was commentating on the match.

"Now, I want a nice clean game… from all of you." Madam Hooch said sternly. "The Bludgers are up. Followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember the Snitch is worth 150 points. The Seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game. The Quaffle is released and the game begins! Angelina Johnson has the quaffle. Beautiful girl she is I've been trying to ask her out for a while but-" "JORDAN!" McGonagall interrupted. "Sorry professor. And she scores! Ten points for Gryffindor!" Lee said quickly.

"Well done!" I cheered along with the rest of Gryffindor house. "Slytherin takes the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint. Oh an interception by Alicia Spinnet. And she passes to Angelina and she shoots. She scores! Another ten points to Gryffindor!" Lee said. 
Then Harry’s broomstick began to buck wildly which was rather strange as brooms don't usually try and buck people off. 

"What's going on with Harry's broomstick?" Ron asked. I looked through my binoculars and saw that Snape had his eyes on Harry and was muttering under his breath.
 "It's Snape! He's jinxing the broom!" Hermione said urgently to Ron and I. "Jinxing the broom?! What do we do?" Ron said. "Leave it to me!" Hermione shouted .

The game then continued as Harry faught to stay on his broom. He was now hanging on by his fingertips. "Come on Hermione!" Ron shouted .
Hermione rushed over to where the teachers are sitting. She pointed her wand at Snape’s robes. "Lacarnum Inflamarae." She mutters. A small flame of fire shot out of her wand and set Snape’s robes on fire. "Fire! You're on fire!" The teachers shouted.

As Snape tried to get the flames out he knocked over Quirrell. Harry managed to swing himself back onto his broom. His eye caught sight of the Snitch just as the Slytherin seeker did. They both went after it but the Slytherin seeker had to pull up so he wouldn't crash. Harry, on his new broom, could go lower. He managed to pull up in time and continued after the Snitch.

Harry stood on his broom and made his way to the very end, stretching out his hand to try and catch the Snitch. He then tumbled off his broom onto the sand. Looking like he's going to be sick! Harry spit the Snitch out of his mouth. "He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!" Lee said excitedly. "Gryffindor wins!" Madam Hooch declared.

"Go Go Gryffindor! Go Go Gryffindor! Go Go Gryffindor! Go Go Gryffindor!" Gryffindor house chanted.

After that eventful match I decided to have an early night so, after saying goodnight to everyone, I head up to bed and immediately fell asleep.
