CHAPTER 1: Introduction
Quidditch Match- 1st one of the season. Gryffindor vs. Slytherin Commentator: Lee Jordan
" And Johnson with the quaffle! That's Angelina Johnson there!"
Harry was flying high on his Firebolt, squinting around for the tiny, golden snitch. He listened more attentively to the commentary side-by-side. The last time Gryffindor scored, he was so caught up in looking for the snitch that he almost missed seeing the spectacular shot.
" She flies, she soars, she's approaching the hoop, almost there.OHHHHH.she's blocked by Marcus Flint. Angelina drops the quaffle. Slytherin in possession. NO! Wait! Gryffindor in possession! Excellent block by Katie Bell of Gryffindor!"
There were loud boos from the Slytherin end.
" Katie Bell still in possession of the quaffle.she's flying.CAREFUL KATY! Nice dodge around a Bludger.she still has the quaffle.and SHE SCORES!!!"
A scream erupted from the Gryffindor supporters which drowned out the boos from the Slytherin supporters. Harry squinted around some more. Was that the Snitch? He looked more closely. No, it wasn't.
" Drat.where is that snitch?" Harry heard Draco Malfoy murmur behind him. He realized that Malfoy was right on his tail. Harry knew that Malfoy was probably scheming how to foul him but he couldn't care any less. He was going to focus his mind on finding that snitch before Malfoy if it was the last thing he did.
They had been playing for a couple of hours, yet no sign of the snitch. Harry ducked as George Weasley whizzed past in pursuit of a bludger.
" All right there, Harry?" George scowled at Malfoy as he went past.
" Yeah, thanks! " Harry yelled back.
All of a sudden, he noticed a glint of gold hovering a few feet away. Excitement surging through him, he kicked back hard on his Firebolt and hit Malfoy on the wrist.
" Watch where you're going Pott." he did not have time to finish his sentence. Harry surged towards the snitch, caught it deftly and rose steadily on his broom.
" Harry Potter got the snitch. GRYFFINDOR WINS!"
Ron and Hermione cheered madly. The crimson-clad supporters started to pour into the ground, squashing the Gryffindor team flat. Harry managed to wriggle out and spotting Hermione and Ron standing some distance away, walked towards them. As usual, Hermione was looking disdainful, passing comments such as " Barbaric.shameless.disgraceful." On the other hand, Ron was looking amused at Hermione's remarks and was grinning at the crazy crowd now being fended off by Fred and George Weasley. Harry joined them.
" Off their rocker." he said as he watched the twins swinging their beater clubs around and the crowd trying to dodge the blows.
Just then, Ron and Hermione turned to talk to Katie Bell who had managed to free herself from the madness. Harry turned too, only to see Nina Holland coming in his direction.
Nina was probably the most unpopular girl in the whole school. She, like Harry, was in 5th year and was of Gryffindor house. Although he had studied with her for 5 years now, Harry could count on his fingers the number of times that he had talked to her. Most people knew that she was the I-won't- come-out-of-my-shell type, clamed up and shy. She replied when talked to but never started a conversation of her own will. She was the only one who did not chatter during meals, sat alone in class and isolated herself from the rest of the school's population. However, she was a great reader and she was extremely smart, just like Hermione.
As Nina approached, she gave a small wave. Harry slowly raised his hand and waved back quickly. Immediately, her face split into a broad grin.
" Why is she coming towards me?" Harry thought.
Why is Nina approaching Harry? Did the crowd get hurt from the Weasleys' violent attempt to fend them off?
