Julienne's POV

"Take a bit of toast Juli, c'mon." Sans persuaded me.

"Sans is right Julienne, you'll need your strength today." Akko says.

Today, while having breakfast at the Great Hall, it's me and Harry's Quidditch match. No, we're not playing against each other. Gryffindor will be against Slytherin, then Ravenclaw against Slytherin, in case the Slytherin lost from Gryffindor. Harry was happily enjoying his breakfast. Me on the other hand, after the Halloween incident, I somehow lost my appetite that night.

"Guys, for the fifth time, I'm not hungry." I said, a bit cranky.

"Good luck today, Antonio. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy enough for you. Even if it is against Slytherin." Snape says from behind me. He then starts limping to the staff table.

"That explains the blood." I said.

"The blood?" Harry suddenly turned to me.

"Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion to get past that three-headed dog. But he got bit, that's why he's limping." I tried explaining my theory to them.

"But, why would anyone go near that dog?" Sans asked in a bit exasperated tone. I can tell, he would not want to go near that dog in any way possible.

"The day I was at Gringotts, Dumbledore took something out one of the vaults. Said it's Hogwarts business, very secret." I explained.

"So you're saying-" Akko was going to say something until I cut her off about my explanation.

"That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants." I finished and sighed heavily.

Until Jordon and Hedwig, me and Harry's owl flew in the Great Hall and dropped two large packages.

"A bit early for mail isn't it?" Sans said playfully.

"But I never got any mail that is this big." I said as I scanned the package.

"Neither have I." Harry said staring at it with awe.

"Let's open it." Akko says. We start tearing off the paper of the package. Then two new broomsticks sit on the table.

"They're broomsticks..." I trailed off my sentence as I run my hand on the wooden broom handle.

"These are not just broomsticks, Julienne. These are Nimbus 2000's!" Harry says surprised.

"But who-" I tried to figure out who sent this until I found Professor McGonagall petting Hedwig and Professor Flitwick petting Jordon.

Me and Harry saw this and thought...

Merlin, they're good.

Harry's POV

It was a tiring round.

We just played against Slytherin, I caught the Snitch, and the Gryffindor Quidditch Team won.

I changed into my robes since it's Julienne's turn to be against Slytherin. I walked along the corridors with Akko and Sans, still congratulating me for my catch.
