Today is the first Quidditch game of the season which is Slytherin vs Gryffindor which also means it is my first time playing in front of everyone and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I circle high above the pitch as Slytherin score another goal and I see Harrry not to  far away searching for the Golden Snitch.

"Lola watch out!"George shouts and I slip past the bludger which only just misses my head and George bats it away

"Thanks" I shout over to him as Katie passes me the quaffle which I catch and fly over to the goal but Flint comes over and  barges me making me almost drop it but I manage to keep hold of it. I chuck  the quaffle towards the goal Andy the Slytherin keeper misses it making it go straight into the goal and the crowd cheer. I see Harry down below closing on the Snitch, fingertips only inches from catching it when the Rogue Bludger smashes into his arm. Harry cries out, steadies himself and with a brilliant, acrobatic move, snatches the Snitch out of the air with his good hand. Unable to control his broom with his shattered arm, he hits the pitch with a thud. Wincing, Harry rolls onto his shoulders as the bludger  is plummeting from the sky, directly toward him.

"Finite Incantatem!" Hermione says aiming her wand at the bludger which turns into little pieces. I fly down with everyone else and go over to Harry who sits on the floor in pain

"Not to worry, Harry. I'll fix that arm of yours straight away" Lockhart tells Harry while examining Harry's arm

"No... no... not you" Harry stutters

"Poor boy doesn't know what he's saying. This won't hurt a bit" Lockhart says and he mutters some spell and then he bends Harry's arm back completely "Yes. Well, that can sometimes happen. The point is, the bones are no longer broken" Lockhart says

"Brok'n? He doesn't 'ave any bones at all!" Hagrid exclaims

Me, Hermione, Ron and some other Gryffindors  are standing by Harry's bed  in the hospital wing, watching Madame Pomfret pour out a load of liquid  from a bottle of skele-gro.

"He should have been brought straight to me! I can mend bones in a heartbeat  but growing them back" Madame Pomfery says

"You will be able to, won't you?" I ask her concerned

" I'll be able to, certainly, but it will be painful. You're in for a rough night, Potter. Regrowing bones is nasty business." Pomfrey says as Harry takes the steaming cup and drinks it before spitting it out "Well, what did you expect  pumpkin juice?" Pomfret asks him as a flash goes off and I see Colin Creevey standing beside me with his camera aimed at Harry

"That was brilliant today, Harry! Brilliant!" Colin tells Harry

"Out! All of you! This boy's got thirty-three bones to regrow!" Pomfery tells us and we all walk out and up to the Gryffindor tower.
