Chapter one: Fireball

Harry had just gotten finished with his studying when Hedwig, Harry's owl, swooped in the window of his room with a letter with the Hogwarts crest on the back. Harry thought it was about his school supplies but then remembered he had already gotten one. "Maybe they forgot they sent me one and sent me another one." Harry thought to himself. The Dursley's were asleep so he snuck out of the room to get his things together for when Ron and his Father came to pick him up for the next year at Hogwarts. This would be Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts and he just couldn't wait to get away from the Dursleys. The bottom stair creaked so he had to skip it but when he did he tripped over Dudley's new remote control car he got for no reason. It made a loud thud, Harry jumped up and ran to the cupboard under the stairs and grabbed his things pausing for a moment remembering when he had been kept locked away in there for weeks as punishment a few years ago. Harry heard Uncle Vernon screaming "Shut up Boy!" So he hurried back to his room to start packing for the trip to Ron's house tomorrow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ When he awoke he rushed down stairs to start the breakfast and eat so he could finish packing (as well as homework.) "Oh Dudley wake up, today we are going to the store to get you a present." Aunt Petunia said in a sweet voice. Harry had just finished the breakfast when they walked in so he went to get the mail so he could hurry. He was to be picked up in the afternoon so he needed to finish. When he went up to his room he heard a little scratching on the window and when opened it there was nothing. "Must be hearing things." He said to himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ The day went by okay for Harry and then the time came for him to leave the Dursleys and that thought going through his head all through the trip made him forget to tell Ron about the summer. Finally arriving at the Burrow Ron asked Harry "What's that for?" Pointing to the Hogwarts letter Harry had received." Oh I haven't checked yet I think it is a copy of the supplies list. "You should really check that it could be anything." Said Ron in an exasperated voice. So they opened it and read when they finished they were so surprised they couldn't talk. "I have been chosen to play on the new fireball team for Hogwarts? What is fireball?" He asked. "Fireball is a sport in the wizarding world that is played on the backs of hippogriffs and can be very difficult I don't know much about it but Percy does so he can tell you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ "Fireball doesn't have to be played on hippogriffs it can be played on Pegasus' backs too in fact it can be played on other creatures as well. Like Ferilons which are dog like creatures with horns and wings very commonly found in the colors red and black. They are very loyal creatures if you treat them right." Percy explained at dinner. Ginny was staring at Harry and he gave her a weird look and she blushed. "Fireball? Why are they playing fireball at school this year?" Mr.Weasley asked with curiosity. "I don't know he just got a letter telling him he was on the team." Ron replied. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Tomorrow they would go to Diagon Alley to get their school supplies and meet up with Hermione at Gringotts Wizard Bank. Hermione was a very hard working student at Hogwarts and very smart one too. She was one of Harry's best friends and was in Gryffindor house at Hogwarts. They went through a lot together and had fun. They had gone to Hogwarts together and they planed on leaving together. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were inseparable and would stay at each others side for the rest of their stay at Hogwarts.

Harry was kept up all night thinking about Fireball and what it would be about. Soon morning came and they were to eat breakfast and travel to Diagon Alley by floo powder. They arrived in a shop filled with books and potions (called Herman's Potion and book shop.) Hermione was standing on the steps of Gringotts with half her supplies in a neat little pile next to her when they met her. She began telling them that they should go to Olivanders because they were giving out 1 of the books they needed for free. They rushed down there and took one of the books as they said hello to Olivander. Soon after they got their supplies they went down to the Sleepy Dragon (a hotel) to get some sleep. Harry heard a scratching at the window thought again he heard things when he found nothing.
