Trouble Fox

Let's hurt Malfoy and watch Harry play Quidditch in the same chapter!

The next morning, while pretending to copy down different ways to treat werewolf bites(I'm sure Hermione will let me borrow her notes....) Harry was starting to seem to get more worried about Quidditch.

"I'm going to play. If I don't, all the Slytherins will think I'm too scared to face Snape. I'll show them....it'll really wipe the smiles off their faces if we win."

Harry told them.

"Just as long as we're not wiping you off the field."

Said Hermione.

When the day had come, Brittany wished Harry luck, wondering if she would ever see him alive again. She found a place in the stands next to Neville.

'Look--they're off. Ouch!"

Someone had poked Ron.

"Oh, sorry, Weasley, didn't see you there."

Malfoy smirked as he looked at Crabbe and Goyle.

"Wonder how long Potter's going to stay on his broom this time? Anyone want to bet? What about you, Weasley?"

Ron didn't answer because Hufflepuff had just been awarded a penalty.

"Shut up and go back to where you came from. Or do they not want you anymore? Too annoying for Slytherin?"

Brittany shoved Malfoy as she said this. She got up and walked away to watch the match in peace. Suddenly Harry streaked to the ground like a bullet. Harry zoomed past Snape, and......he had caught the snitch!

"Harry won! Harry won! Gryffindors win!!"

Brittany yelled as she raced back to Ron and Hermione.

"What happened?"

She said as Ron punched Malfoy one more time.

"Nothing."

Ron said through a heavy nosebleed.

"Oh, in that case, we won! Oh and Malfoy....Locomotor Mortis! Let's see your minions try and get the counter curse! Never hex a Gryffindor again!"

Brittany cheered. She went to see Harry but he had disappeared.

Later at dinner Harry reappeared.

"Harry, where have you been?"

Hermione exclaimed.

"We won! We won!"

Ron yelled at the top of his lungs.

"And I gave Malfoy a black eye! Brittany cursed him! Neville tried to take on Crabbe and Goyle, he's still out cold but Madame Pomfrey says he'll be all right--talk about showing Slytherin! Everyone's waiting for you in the common room, we're having a party, Fred, George, and Brittany stole some cakes and stuff from the kitchens."

Ron kept saying.

"Hey! It's not stealing...it's borrowing...with no intention of returning it....anyway..."

"Never mind that now, let's find an empty room, wait 'til you hear this."

Harry said. After checking to make sure Peeves wasn't inside, Harry continued

"So we were right, it is the sorcerers stone, and Snape's trying to get Quirrel to help him get it. He asked if he knew how to get past Fluffy--and he said something about Quirrel's 'hocus pocus'--I reckon there are other things guarding it, enchantments, spells, anti-Dark arts spell or something-"

"So the stone is only safe as long as Quirrel stands up to Snape?"

Hermione asked.

"It'll be gone by next Tuesday."

Ron sighed.
