Harry's First Quidditch Match

Carina's POV

It's time for the first quidditch match of the season, it's Slytherin vs Gryffindor. Hermione told me how Harry is on the Gryffindor team and is the youngest player in a century. I'm sitting with her and Ron to watch the match. Ever since the troll incident she and the boys have become best friends. Along with me, but as I'm not in Gryffindor. They spend more time together. Which is fine as I spend it with my other friends.

Anyway before the game starts let me tell you about what's happened since the troll incident. I'm still training with Talbot and my training is going well. When he believes I'm ready Beatrice will help me make the Animagus potion.

Malfoy has been trying to get me to hang with him and his goons. Honestly I know we're cousins (third cousin once removed on my father's side), it doesn't mean we have to hang out or like each other. I don't follow his and his parents ideals. I'm practically a blood traitor in their eyes, so why does he talk to me at all?

Anyway the teams have appeared and the game is about to begin. They mounted their brooms and took to the air. Madame Hooch released the bludgers and snitch. Andre then threw the Quaffle into the air. The game began and they take to the sky as referees.

"Quaffle is taken immediately by Angelina Johnson of Gryffindor what an excellent Chaser that girl is, and rather attractive, too" the commentator states.

"Jordan!" McGonagall says firmly and I giggle.

"Sorry Professor" he mumbles. "She's really belting along up there, a neat pass to Alicia Spinnet, a good find of Oliver Wood's, last year only a reserve back to Johnson. No , the Slytherins have taken the Quaffle, Marcus Flint gains the Quaffle and off he goes. Flint flying like an eagle up there he's going to score. Oliver blocks the goal and throws the quaffle to Katie Bell of Gryffindor there. Nice dive around Flint. OUCH! That must have hurt, hit in the back of the head by a Bludger. Quaffle taken by the Slytherins that's Adrian Pucey, but he's blocked by a second Bludger sent his way by Fred or George Weasley. Can't tell which nice play by the Gryffindor Beater. Johnson back in possession of the Quaffle, a clear field ahead and off she goes she's really flying dodges a speeding Bludger the goal posts are ahead. Keeper Bletchley dives misses GRYFFINDORS SCORE!" he cheers.

I cheer with the others. The match continues on. Hagrid joins us and the other two smile up at him. I do too, before focusing back on the match. As the match continues the Slytherins start to cheat. Like Flint taking a beaters bat and sent a bludger as Oliver. Him and an other chaser making Angelina fall off of her broom.

Suddenly Harry's broom starts behaving strangely and I frown in confusion. I'm pretty his broom isn't suppose to be trying to buck him off. "What's wrong with Harry's broomstick?" I ask the others.

"That's been tampered with that has" Hagrid states.

"It's Snape, he's jinxing the broom" Hermione tells  Ron and I.

"Jinxing the broom, what do we do?" Ron asks her.

"Leave it to me" she tells him and leaves. I pick up her binoculars and look up at the teachers stand. I see Snape is making eye contact with Harry while moving his lips. I frown, I understand he wants Slytherin to win. But would he really cheat.

As I go to put the binoculars down, I notice someone else looking at Harry intently. I focus on them and frown more. No it can't be Quirrell, he has no reason to hurt Harry. I notice Hermione knock into breaking his concentration. I look back at Harry to see him regain control of his broom. I frown in confusion, why would Quirrell jinx Harry's broom?

Harry goes after the Slytherin seeker and the snitch. They ram against each other before diving towards the ground, after the snitch. The Slytherin seeker pulled up half way. But Harry followed and pull up at the last minute. He then stands on his broom, broom surfing with a hand out to catch the snitch.

But he over balances and flips off his broom with a scream. When he got up, he spat something into his hands. "I've got the Snitch!" he shouts waving it over his head and the game ends in complete confusion. Harry hadn't broken any rules. So Lee Jordan happily shouts the results, Gryffindor had won by one hundred and seventy points to sixty.

Harry, Hermione, Ron and I go to Hagrid's hut for a cup of tea. Hermione tells Harry how was Snape jinxing his broom. But Hagrid didn't believe her and I know she's wrong. However, I have no proof. I'll get it though and go to Snape. I believe he was doing a counter jinx trying to save Harry. He'd deal with Quirrell. Until then, I'll remain quiet watching Quirrell closely.
