Chapter 8: One! Two! Three! Quidditch!


Today is Harry's first game and he won't eat anything! 

  "Have a bit of toast mate, come on." Ron insisted.
"Ron's right Harry. You're going to need strength for today."
Harry sighed and looked at us.
"I'm not hungry," Harry told us once again.
    "Harry please. Just eat your eggs and toast for your game. Please. For me." I was surprised by my own choice of words but Harry started to eat his hand and eggs. At least he's eating we've been nagging him for 20 minutes! Hermione and Ron look at me and I just shrug. They look at each other before returning to their food.

Snape then came, limping, towards us. "Good luck today, Potter. Then again now that you have proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy even if it is against Slytherin." and with that Snape limped to the teacher's table to eat his own breakfast. I turned down to read the shocking news on the Daily Prophet.

"That explains the blood," Harry said. We questioned him. "Listen last night, I think Snape let the troll in as a diversion to get past that three-headed dog. But he got bitten that's why he's limping."

"But why would anyone try to go near that dog?" Hermione asked.
"The day I went with Hagrid to Gringotts he took something out of the volts. Said it was Hogwarts business very secret. That's what the dogs guarding that's what Snape wants." Harry said.

"Look, just because Snape doesn't particularly favor you in class, it doesn't mean that its right to make up assumptions about him. I highly doubt Snape is trying to do anything to hurt anyone. You dug up all this information in one night.If anything it was the troll that injured Snape while he was trying to get it out of the school with the other Professors. I don't know and you don't know. So don't assume without real facts." I said turning to resume read the Daily Prophet.
  "I know Daniella. But for all, we know he could've been with it." Harry said. Before I can say anything else Harry's owl, Hedwig,--cute name-
Went swooping down with a long thin package and dropped it in front of us.

"Bit early for mail isn't it?" Hermione said, confused.
Harry though looked at the wrapped package in shock. "But I--I never get any mail." I let my hand graze upon the paper wrapping trying to figure out what it is.  "Let's open it!" Ron encouraged and we wasted no time.

It was broomstick! Not just any broomstick.....It's a Nimbus 2000!

I look at it amazed and touched it again. It looks so beautiful. "A broomstick." Harry amazed. "That's not just any broomstick mate. That's a Nimbus 2000! It's only the latest model and most popular broomstick so far. Not to mention the speed on this is wicked fast!" Ron and I said and gushed on our knowledge in the sport.

We heard Hedwig coo again and turned to see Professor McGonagall smiling at us while petting Hedwig's head. We all smiled at her back and turned back to its wonder.

    I got dressed for the Quidditch match, did my hair, and put some light mascara, and lip gloss. I went upstairs to the Slytherin common room to see Draco waiting for me. He smirked once he saw my shirt. "And here I was thinking about giving you a lecture about those filthy Gryffindor's." By now I have just given up to try and change Draco this is how he is. You can't change someone if that doesn't want to be changed. I let it go.

"I'm still going to the Gryffindor side in support of Harry if that's not what your thinking," I said. Draco gave a scowl but instead if crying about it. I went over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then I left the common room and met up with Hermione and Ron to cheer Harry on at the Gryffindor bleachers.
