A New Beginning (Harry Potter X OC)

Is he gonna be sick?

The next day was the first quidditch match of the year between Slytherin and Gryffindor. "We are definitely going to beat them, especially if their seeker is Potter." Draco spat as we sat down at the breakfast table. He had been rambling about this for the last week making sure to lecture me of the rules of quidditch since I didn't know them.

There was seven players: three chasers, two beaters, a keeper and a seeker. The seeker was the role that Harry had since he caught Neville's Remembrall in the first flying lesson. In my opinion the beater position sounded the best. I munched on my cereal as the boys blabbered on about quidditch while Pansy spoke to me about two third years had been found in a cupboard together and the 2nd floor.

I looked across the room to see Hedwig come flying down, a large package in her claws. "One minute." I said to Pansy, grabbing my bag before heading over to the Gryffindor table. "Who is that from?" I asked them as I saw that it was the Nimbus 2000 that we saw in Diagon alley.

"I think I have an idea." Harry said looking over to the teachers table before looking up at me. "What do you think about Snape?" He asked me a curious look on his face. "What do you mean what do I think about him? He is just a teacher, isn't he?" I asked as I sat down next to Harry.

"We think he is trying to steal something." Harry said in a quiet voice. "What would Snape want to steal?" I asked then as I picked up a piece of toast. "Well that's what we are trying to find out, all we know is that its protected by a three headed dog on the 3rd floor." Hermione said to me as she pushed her plate away from her.

I spat out what I was chewing in shock. "There is Cerberus in the school?" I asked them as Ron whipped the bits of chewed toast off his face. "What's a Cerberus???" Harry and Ron asked. "It's a three headed dog from Greek mythology, wow it's so cool that they are real." I said happily.

"Well Snape is your head of house do you think he has been suspicious recently?" Harry asked as Ron looked at me like I was crazy. "No, he has just been his usual boring, Gryffindor hating self." I said boredly picking up an apple and putting it into bag. "Now are you ready for the game?" I asked them before we all got up heading towards the quidditch pitch.

"Hello, and welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game Slytherin versus Gryffindor!!!" Lee Jordon said through the magical microphone as the quidditch players sored through the air. "The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game." He said, we all looked down to see Madame Hooch talking to the players.

"The bludgers are up...followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember, the snitch is worth 150 points. The seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game." Lee said probably to remind the muggleborns. "The Quaffle is released...and the game begins!" He said before one of the Gryffindor chasers grabbed the quaffle and zoomed across the pitch only to get it past the Slytherin keeper.

"Angelina Johnson scores! 10 points for Gryffindor!" Lee said causing all the Slytherins to groan. "Slytherin takes possession of the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint." Lee said before our captain tried to score only for it to be stopped by Oliver wood and passed back to the Gryffindor players who again scored.

I sat down in defeat; we clearly weren't going to win. I pulled out my apple out of my satchel before taking and angry bite out of it. That was when our team started to play dirty. I watched as flint snatched the bat off one of our beaters before hitting it right at Oliver Woods stomach causing him to go tumbling down to the ground.

Then on of our chasers caught the quaffle before throwing it through the goal. Every Slytherin cheered but me. I just slouched down into my seat. "Woah what's going on with Potter's broom?" Theo said making me immediately stand up and hang over the banister. Harry and his broom was twitching side to side which meant he couldn't control it.

I looked around the pitch to see who was keeping direct eye contact only to see that Professor Quirrell was and he wasn't blinking. He was jinxing Harry's broom. I looked back to just to Harry just to see him fall off his broom so that he was now hanging off by his hand. What could I do? I thought as I looked back to the teachers only to see Snape's robe be lit on fire. Luckily distracting Quirrell.

Harry swings back onto his room and speeds off towards the Slytherin seeker who was chasing after the snitch. The snitch zoomed down causing the both of them to dive down. "They are getting pretty close the ground." I said wearily as they got quicker and quicker. Our seeker quickly pulled out as Harry carried on chasing after the snitch.

Somehow Harry stood up and lent forward trying to grab the snitch, but he leant forward too much causing him to fall over. Everyone gasped. He gradually stood up clutching his stomach as if he was going to be sick. I grimaced as he lurched only for the snitch to pop out of his mouth. "He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!" Lee shouted causing Hooch to blow her whistle.

Gryffindor had won. Harry raised the snitch in the air as everyone but the Slytherins cheered. "No!" Draco shouted sitting down next to me snatching what was left of my apple and throwing it angrily. "I was gonna finish that." I said sassily scrunching up my nose. He just ignored me as he put his head in his hands.

"Nonsense. Why would Snape put a curse on Harry's broom?" Hagrid said as the four of us walked with him. "That's what I said. It was clearly Quirrell." I said as the others ignored me. "Who knows. Why was he trying to get past that 3 headed dog on Halloween?" Harry asked him in a know it all voice. "Who told you 'bout Fluffy?" Hagrid asked wrinkles appearing on his forehead. "Fluffy? Hermione: That thing has a name?" Ron said in shock.

"Fluffy, how adorable." I said causing the other three to give me weird looks. "Well, of course he's got a name. He's mine. I bought him off an Irish feller I met down at the pub last year. Then I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the-." Hagrid quickly stopped himself. "Yes?" Harry said leaning forward.

"Shouldn'ta said that. Don't ask any more questions. That's top secret, that is." Hagrid said tapping his nose. "But Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it!" Harry shouted making me roll my eyes as I pulled out some sweets from my bag. "Codswallop. Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher." Hagrid said looking away from us.

"Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a curse when I see one. I've read all about them. You have to keep eye contact. And Snape wasn't blinking." Hermione said causing Harry to nod. "Neither was Quirrell!" I shouted before popping one of the sweets in my mouth. "Now, you listen to me, all three of you. You're meddlin' in things that ought not to be meddled in. It's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel." Hagrid sighed causing us all to perk up.

"Nicholas Flamel?" Me and Harry asked in unison. "I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that. I should not have said that." Hagrid said as he walked away from us. "Nicholas Flamel...Who's Nicholas Flamel?" Harry asked us. "I don't know." Hermione said as we all watched Hagrid walk away.
