It was a snowy winter day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As a young Ravenclaw named Jake awoke, he found that he was the only one in the Ravenclaw 4th-year boy's dormatory. Of course! Jake thought. Christmas! As Jake got out of bed he looked and realized that below him were tons of presents! He looked at the first one carefully. It was a long package from his friend Harry Potter. As Jake carefully unwrapped his gift, he was astounded to see, gleeming, an amazing invisibility cloak! It didn't even compare to what Jake got Harry. It was just 4 galleons. Jake decided to talk to Harry. As he walked into the Great Hall, he realized that only three people were there: Harry Potter and their other friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasly.
"Hey Jake!" Harry shouted. "What took you so long?"
"Had some business to take care of!" Jake replied. He was actually admiring the Firebolt 2000 broomstick his mother had gotton him, but decided it wasn't right to tell Harry of this.
"Hey Hermione!" Jake shouted as he grabbed a book out of her hand. "Christmas is a time to celebrate!"
"Tell that to Zues here!" Ron replied, pointing to his owl, which he got in a strange way. It was carrying a message to Harry last year. Zeus was almost as bad as Hermione, sulking about in his cage.
"Sure it's a celebration for you three." Hermione replied. "But everything's easy for boys. Especially Jake."
"Why?" Jake asked.
"Proffessor Flitwick is deffinatley someone I'd like to have as my house leader over McGonagal."
"You think Flitwick is easy?" Jake chuckled. " Too many times has he animated my bed to move at night."
"Speaking of night," Harry came in. "In two days, when everyone comes back, it will be the first Quidditch game of the term, Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw."
"That snich has my name on it!" Jake exclaimed.
"Not if I catch it first!" Harry replied.
Harry and Jake were both Seekers for their houses' Quidditch teams.
"Hate to break up this conversation," Ron said. "But Malfoy at ten o'clock!"
They looked behind them as Draco Malfoy and his cronies, Crabbe and Goyle, entered the Great Hall.
"Well, well, well!" Malfoy snickered. "If it isn't Potty, the weasel, and the 2 geniuses!" It was true that Hermione and Jake were the 2 brightest 4th years in the school, but unlike Hermione, Jake still liked to ave a little fun.
"What's wrong, Brainy?" Malfoy asked. "Flitwick move your bed again?" This was the last straw.
"Ok, Malfoy." Jake said calmly. "If you truly know what's going on then you won't bother making a wager on the upcomming Quidditch match?"
"How much?" Malfoy asked.
"10 galleons that either I or Harry catch that snitch within the first ten seconds of the game, and for each extra minute you get an extra galleon."
"What's the catch?" Malfoy asked.
"Oh none, really." Jake answered. "You just need to make a fool of yourself if we win. You need to hold up a sign at halftime that says: "Hufflepuff for House Cup.""
Malfoy thought and finally replied, "Deal."
"Hey Jake!" Harry shouted. "What took you so long?"
"Had some business to take care of!" Jake replied. He was actually admiring the Firebolt 2000 broomstick his mother had gotton him, but decided it wasn't right to tell Harry of this.
