"take a bit of toast mate go on." i say handing harry my bread. "y/n's right harry you'll need you strength today." hermione says. it was harry's first quidditch game today, we could all tell he was nervous. "i'm not hungry." harry says. snape walks up behind harry. "good luck today potter. then again now that you've proven yourself against a troll a little game of quidditch should be easy work. even if it is against slytherin." snape says and walks away. "back handed compliment much?" i say. "that explains the blood." harry says. "blood?" ron asks. "listen, last night i'm guessing snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that dog. but he got bit, which is why he's limping." harry explains.

harry's owl hedwig flies in from above. he drops a package down to harry. "bit early for mail isn't it?" hermione asks. "but i never get mail." harry says. "let's open it." ron says. i help them untie it. "it's a broomstick." harry says. "that's not just a broomstick, it's a nimbus 2000!" i say. "but who?" harry asks.

-at the quidditch game-

i stand by hermione and dean thomas, with neville and ron behind us. gryffindor flies out and all of us cheer. "welcome to hogwarts' first quidditch game of the season. today's game, slytherin versus gryffindor!" lee jordan says over the speaker. gryffindor cheers. i don't know much about quidditch but i try and watch harry as much as i can. "slytherin likes to play nasty." i overhear a girl say. "angelina johnson scores! ten points for gryffindor!" lee shouts. i clap. everyone flies around in a frenzy and i can barely keep up. "another ten points to gryffindor!" lee shouts. hermione gives me a high five and we cheer. i can tell harry catches eye of the snitch. he chases after it but his broom starts going crazy. "what's going on with harry's broomstick?" hagrid asks. harry flies around crazy. "it's snape he's jinxing the broom!" i hear hermione say. ron says something and they walk off. harry hangs onto his broom stick with one hand. i hide my head in my hands. to scared to see him fall. "he's back on!" i hear dean thomas say. i uncover my
eyes as everyone cheers. harry chases the snitch while shoving the slytherin seeker. he stands on his broom and reaches out for it. the slytherin seeker pushes him and he toppls over. he stands up and looks as if he's about to hurl. "looks like he's gonna be sick." hagrid says. the golden snitch pops out of his mouth. "he's got the snitch!" lee shouts. "harry potter receives 150 points for catching the snitch!" lee says. "gryffindor wins!" madam hooch shouts. all of gryffindor cheers and yells. i turn around and hug ron, we jump up and down. wait, ron went with hermione..and this is a little more..plump..than ron. i pull away from the person and see neville. he looks surprised as well but goes in for a high five. i smile and hit my hand against his. i turn around. "woohoo harry!" i yell. harry shows off the snitch.
