After I finished telling Edith and Hermione what happened, Edith's face showed full admiration while Hermione's were full of concern.

"Chaser?" she said. "But first years never -- you must be the youngest house player in about a century, including Harry of course."
"But isn't Quidditch very dangerous?" asked Hermione.
"Oh, come on. She's gonna be ok." Edith answered, rolling her eyes.
Hermione was about to argue when I interrupted her.

"It's fine. Besides, I have a genius and a person with a very influential status supporting me."

Hermione turned a bit pink while Edith said "Yeah, yeah. Oh, and you've achieved in getting Hermione in your harem."
"What's a harem?" Hermione asked, confused.

I immediately slapped my hand over Edith's mouth and said,

"Oh, it's nothing. By the way, Edith. I DON'T have a harem for your info."

They both calmed down after a while and as I was about to get a scoop of Cookie Dough ice cream, I noticed someone coming to the Gryffindor table.

"Congratuations on becoming a Chaser in the Quidditch team." She dreamily said, her eyes looked like it was elsewhere. She gave me a gift and I opened it. Inside, I saw a piece of paper. I reached out for it but then Malfoy came and snatched it before I did.

"Malfoy, give it back." I calmly said, trying not to get angry.

"Oh, it's a seat to a Montrose Magpies game, huh. Thanks, Loony Lovegood."

Naturally, I snapped.

I lunged at Malfoy but his goons came and blocked my way.

"MOVE AWAY!" I screamed and everyone stopped eating, looking at the scene.

Just as I was about to punch Malfoy in the face, Goyle punched my guts as hard as he could and Crabbe punched me in the face before slamming my head onto one of the benches.

"Argh." I spit some blood out of my lips and I touched my nose, blood flowing out if it. I gently touched the back of my head and flinched when I touched my wound. My view was becoming blurry.....

Just as Edith and Hermione was about to stand up, Professor Mcgonagall came and gasped at the scene. "WHAT HAPPENED HERE!" She demanded. Edith looked like she was going to kill Malfoy while Hermione was explaining the situation to Professor Mcgonagall. The other teachers were coming over too when the rest of the teachers came over too. Hermione then told the teachers(including Snape) what happened while Edith and Harry came to help me get up. I wiped a thin line of blood from my mouth before rubbing my injuries.

After Hermione explained everything, the teachers(including Snape) glared at Malfoy and his gang intensely before Snape said "Malfoy, detention. Including the two of you."

"And 100 points taken from Slytherin." Professor Mcgonagall added coldly

"Oh, you poor dear." Professor Sprout came to check on me before Professor Flitwicke said

"Miss Lovegood and Miss Chang. Can you please take Miss Haywood to the Hospital Wing?"

Luna nodded before Cho came and said "Yes." As I stood up, I croaked

"Can I have my ticket back?"

Malfoy didn't move. Finally, Professor Dumbledore came(he just arrived) and calmly said

"Give it back, Mr.Malfoy."

Malfoy sneered quietly before giving it back to me. "My father will here about this!" he cried before taken away to the Headmaster's office, Crabbe and Goyle following close behind with the teachers watching the three leave.
