A few weeks later, Hermione and I got up and dressed into our robes to support Gryffindor in their first Quidditch match of the season. I was really excited for this year because Harry was playing, and it was my first Quidditch match I'd ever seen! Hermione was equally excited as I was. We grabbed everything we needed and walked down to the Common Room to look for Harry and Ron. Of course, the two boys weren't even out of bed yet, and it was almost 7:30! The Quidditch match started in an hour and a half! I walked over to Fred and George, who were admiring themselves in their Quidditch Robes. The noticed me and smiled. We exchanged hugs, as we usually did, and I said,

"Hey, can you two do me a favor?" They nodded and said in unison,

"Of course, we can. We'll do anything for you, Alia." I smiled.

"I need you to go wake up Harry and Ron." They smiled evilly and Fred said,

"Do you have a preference?" I shook my head and George grinned while they both conversed among themselves all the way up to the boys' dormitory. I held back a giggle as I walked over to Hermione and started to talk to her. Just as we started talking about our families, once more, screams were heard through out Gryffindor Tower. Hermione and I looked at each other before bursting into hysteric fits of laughter. Fred and George skipped happily down the steps and towards us while saying,

"There you are, our dear." I smiled and hugged them both.

"Thank you boys, you were a great help, as usual." The two of them smiled at me and hugged me back.

"As we said before, we'll do anything for you, Alia." They walked off with a wave and I waved back before turning to Hermione. I loved it when those two spoke to me in unison, and they knew it too, the jerks. That's how they always got out of trouble with me. They looked at me with their big blue eyes and spoke in unison. It worked every time for them, but no one else. Just then, Hermione let out a stifled laugh and I turned to do the same. Both Ron and Harry came down the stairs with their eyes narrowed. They were dressed in pink, flowery sun dresses and matching shoes. Their hair was also pink. My jaw dropped and I let out a laugh. They turned to me with their eyes narrowed.

"Sorry, it's just that...you girls, I mean guys, look so cute!" Hermione laughed and said,

"Yes, you two are just lovely. Are you going on a date tonight?" The boys glared before they stomped back upstairs to get ready. Hermione and I laughed and laughed until the two boys came back down. They were back to their normal looks, except for the fact that they both looked like they were going to kill someone.

"C'mon you two, let's go have breakfast! Today's the first Quidditch game! I'm so excited!" I jumped up and down before walking towards the Great Hall with Hermione. Ron and Harry caught up with us as we began to grab some food. Harry picked at his food the entire breakfast time. I looked at him and began to run my hand up and down his back. "You okay, Harry?" He nodded and I hugged him before pulling away. My hand was still going up and down his back.

"Take a bit of toast, mate. Go on." Harry looked at Ron and said,

"I'm not hungry." I side hugged Harry and Professor Snape walked up to the table behind Hermione and Ron.

"Good luck today, Potter." Ron and Hermione jumped and turned to look at our Potions Professor. "Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you." He paused once more before saying," Even if it is against Slytherin." Harry and I watched as Professor Snape limped away. I stared at him oddly before hearing Harry say,

"That explains the blood." I turned to Harry sharply.

"Blood," Hermione asked simply. All three of us leaned towards Harry.

"Listen, last night I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could get past that three-headed dog. But, he got bit, that's why he's limping."

"But why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione asked, Ron nodded and I sat there dumbfounded.

"The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. Said it was Hogwarts business, very secret."

"So, you're saying-"

"That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants." I opened my mouth to say something, but the screech of an owl cut me off. I looked up to see Hedwig flying towards us. She had a rather large package with her. By the shape of it, I knew what it was. I smiled as she dropped it on the table and kept flying.

"A bit early for mail, isn't it?"

"But I never get mail."

"Let's open it," Ron said hastily and we all began to unwrap it.

"It's a broomstick."

"Harry, this isn't just a broomstick. It's the new Nimbus 2000!" I said excitedly.

"But who...?" Harry didn't finish the statement as he turned and saw Professor McGonagall smiling at him and petting Hedwig.

A while later, all of us, except Harry was of course, was busy watching the Quidditch game. Of course, while watching, my eyes never left Harry as soon as he flew onto the field. I remembered what I said and did to him before he went onto the field. I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek while telling him that I loved him. Of course, he never looked happier. I then hugged Fred and George and wished the entire team good luck before I walked off with Ron and Hermione.

I currently watched my little brother intently as Madame Hooch said something to the players. I tuned out everyone, anything that hit me, didn't exist and anyone that spoke to me got a hateful glare. For a while, or at least for the first half of the game, Harry just watched at what his team mates did. I saw him cringe, and then grip his broom angrily. I averted my eyes from my brother and saw that Marcus Flint had used a Bludger's Bat to hit a Bludger into Oliver Wood. I glared at him as he tried to look all mighty and powerful. I turned my eyes back to Harry and saw him see something after a while. He zoomed after it on his new, amazing Nimbus 2000. I watched him, but as soon as he got close enough to the Snitch, his broom began to jerk around. My eyes widened in terror as I watched my little brother almost fall off his broom and to his death. I turned to the others for once during the game.

"It's Snape! He's jinxing the broom."

"Jinxing the broom? What do we do?" Ron asked.

"Leave it to me." Before Hermione left, I grabbed her by the arm and said,

"Hermione, I mean this with every bone in my body. If you don't save my little brother, I'll have no choice but to hex you until I can't anymore." She nodded and ran off. I turned back and watched in horror as my brother swung from the jinxed broom.

"C'mon Hermione," Ron exclaimed while looking through his binoculars at Snape across the field. I glared and grabbed the binoculars from Ron. I pointed it at Snape and my lips tightened. I gave the binoculars back to Ron. Of course, I didn't know at the time that he was turning blue because the binoculars were around his neck.

All of a sudden, Harry's broom stopped moving. I jumped and squealed with excitement while cheering as Harry got onto his Nimbus 2000. I watched with a large smile on my face as Harry sped up to meet the Slytherin Seeker.

"Go Harry! Go Harry!" I shouted with all the enthusiasm I had left in me. I watched as Harry rammed into the seeker. I smiled proudly until the Slytherin Seeker rammed back. Harry flew to the outside before coming back and running into him again. This time the other Seeker just tried to push him. Oh yeah, nice plan...idiot, I thought to myself while rolling my eyes. I saw the Snitch dive downward and soon after that my brother and the Slytherin Seeker followed.

Harry and the other boy exchanged glances before the Slytherin boy pulled up first. Harry was just above the ground when he pulled up. I let out a sigh of relief and watched with pride as my brother almost caught the Snitch. Then, Harry's foot went too far on the handle and he toppled to the floor. I inhaled sharply. Harry got up and started to sort of pump his stomach, it looked to me. Hagrid then said,

"It looks like he's gonna be sick." I nodded and watched as a small golden ball flew from my brother's mouth and into his gloved hands. Realization washed over me and I began to jump up and down with Ron. I hugged him and jumped up and down with him while cheering with everyone else. Ron and I met up with Hermione and the three of us met up with Harry. I hugged my brother tightly and said,

"Dad would be so proud of you, Harry." He turned to me with a large grin on his face. I let go of him and walked to Hagrid who was waiting for us. Since today was Quidditch, we didn't have any classes at all. So, we spent the day with Hagrid, and that was fun. After a while, I remembered that Christmas was coming up and turned to everyone.

"Hey guys, I've got to go. I've got stuff to do." They nodded and I hugged Harry one more time and ran back to Gryffindor Tower. I ran into the room and saw a letter for me. It was from Remus telling him that I was to go home for Christmas. I smiled and began to pack my stuff away. After all, Christmas was the only time I got to spend with Remus all year...well...here anyway. Hehe, after that it would be summer only, and that's depressing considering all the stuff he does during the summer.
