Ilvermorny (Harry Petter Book 1)

Chapter 12: Quidditch

It seemed to Harry that he and Cornelase were friends with Hermonie. Quidditch was here and Harry was excited. But what wasn't good was that Hermonie and Cornelase weren't trying out for Quidditch. Hermonie and Cornelase were watching, though. The next morning it was Saturday, so they did not have classes. Next morning Harry put on his glasses and put his robes on. He went out of the four-poster, brushed his teeth, and went straight to the Big Hall for breakfast. He met Cornelase on their way, and they both sat next to Hermonie, Harry in the middle.

"So, Harry, what did you and Cornelase do back there?" said Hermonie with a mouthful of cereal.

"Umm... We got caught," said Harry quickly, picking at his bowl of Rice Krispies.

"Who were the people? Just tell me the whole thing," said Hermonie impatiently.

Justin stared at them. "What are you guys talking about?" said Justin.

"Yesterday night," said Harry smartly. "Okay, so we were trying to get in the room, and on the second hallway I wanted to put on the ring, but I heard footsteps and I really wanted to put the ring on, but I couldn't. And then behind us was Professor Sature and in front of us was Professor Alisure, and we got away fifty points from Wampus and Cornelase gets detention this night for one hour," began Harry as Hermonie gasped and dropped a carrot. "And so on. Professor Sature raised his wand, then I did. We both said the same curse, and I ducked but my curse hit him and he fell over, and we ran away and Professor Alisure was really mad," said Harry.

After breakfast Harry waited at the table, and then the Keeper, Tom Chattle, came by and said, "Follow me, we're going to the locker room." They went through the hallway and Harry glanced at the forbidden dormitory. When they reached the locker room, Harry saw Johnny dazzling off. (Note: "Dazzling off" means walking around slowly and tiredly).

"Hi, Harry. I'm the captain," said Johnny dazedly.

"I hear it's good weather when we play," said Harry.

"Yeah," said a girl who was putting on her Quidditch robes.

They all splattered onto the sloping lawns. Harry saw the big stadium in front of them. Harry had his broom in his hand, and they were now at the Quidditch field and Harry mounted his broom like the other people. There was a lady at the middle of the field with a whistle.

"That's Miss Jenna," said Johnny to Harry. "She's the Quidditch teacher," finished Johnny.

"Oh, cool," said Harry, watching her blow her whistle.

Harry zoomed in the air, keeping an eye on the Snitch. It started raining. Harry ducked at a Bludger, his glasses getting wet. He stumbled in the air as he saw the golden Snitch glittering. He stretched out his hand, but it dodged away. He saw Tom getting closer to him. He saw Daricer getting near to him. Daricer was the other Seeker. Harry and Daricer were right next to each other. They were both near the Snitch. Daricer touched it. Harry stretched out his hand–Pop! Harry had the Snitch. He lowered down, smiling, his hair soaking. "150 points for Wampus! Game over!" yelled Ratcher, the person who kept track of the points. Cornelase and Hermonie ran over to Harry and hugged him. They walked through the fields and came to Horid's hut. They knocked on the door and Horid came out.

"Good game, Harry. Come in, come in," said Horid, walking back in the house. They followed him in and sat on the wooden chairs.

"Oh, Hermonie, I've heard of yu'," said Horid, looking at Hermonie.

"She's been our friend for about one day," said Harry.

"Wan' a cup o' tea?" said Horid, looking at Harry.

"Sure," they said. Horid stood up made them some tea and sat down.

"Had a good day?" said Horid after taking a sip.

"Yeah, alright," said Harry.

"You know the Dark Lord that you saw at the book shop, Harry, on the series of those books?" said Horid.

"Yeah, I remember you telling me it's the Dark Lord," said Harry, drinking a big gulp of tea. "What's his name?" said Harry immediately, Cornelase and Hermonie watching.

"Can' say it, can' say it. It's too dangerous," said Horid.

"Write it down?" said Hermonie.

"I don' know about that one, babe. Don't be risky. Calte–" said Horid.

"–r?" said Cornelase.

"Yeah, bu' you're never supposed t' say the name," said Horid, giving a thumbs-up.

"What should you call him?" said Cornelase, scooching his chair to the table a little more. Harry looked out the window and saw Quidditch fans streaming into the castle. Hermonie finished a last sip of tea and they left the small hut. As they left, Horid told them to call the Dark Lord "The One You Know". They went into the castle into their common room. Hermonie went to the library to bring back some books.

"Harry, do you want to chillax outside?" said Cornelase.

"Sure," said Harry, and they went down to the fields and sat down, looking at Horid's hut, Harry's broom laid on the grass.

"Nice view," said Cornelase quietly.

After a while they went in their dormitory and Harry shoved his broom in his trunk. They went to the common room to see Hermonie reading.

"It was great sitting there," said Cornelase and Harry.

Hermonie looked up and said, "Cool" and looked back down.

After a while they went to bed, Harry dreamily thinking of Quidditch.
