Ever since what happened with the mountain troll Hermione had become much more relaxed about rule breaking and was much nicer for it.
Peter was pleased that they could set aside their differences. As it turned out she was very smart and they spend hours talking about different facts either magical or scientific. That's when Peter revealed that he had bewitched electronic devices to work at night, and he was taking online courses at night for normal muggle subjects such as science and math.
It wasn't hard to notice Harry's nerves were going haywire as the Quidditch match neared. Hermione had given him a book to help calm him. Quidditch through the ages.
They all huddled outside over a blue fire Hermione had conjured up. When Snape walked by they all huddled closer blocking the fire from view. They were sure that it wouldn't be allowed. Snape saw their guilty faces and walked over to them.
He hadn't seen the fire but seemed to be looking for something to get mad at them for.
"What's that you got there Potter?" He asked.
Harry handed him the book.
"Library books are not to be taken from school points from Gryffindor." He said walking off with the book.
"He just made that rule up." Harry said bitterly.
"I'm telling you… he's got a personal vendetta against you." Peter jested.
Though Peter really doubted it. It seemed like it was a likely option considering how hard Snape was on Harry vs Literally everyone else.
Peter looked at the blue flame in the jar. He thought pondered to himself.
"Wasn't snape limping?" He asked.
"Yeah why?" Hermione asked.
"Just something I noticed. Tall, Dark, and Big Nosed must have hurt himself somehow." Peter said.
"I hope it's really hurting him." Ron said bitterly.
The rest of the day went by without too much activity. It was at the common room where things really seemed to get strange. They were working on their astronomy homework and Harry seemed really nervous.
"I'm gonna ask for my book back." Harry said.
"Better you than me." Ron and Hermione said together.
"Have fun." Peter said with a trace of sarcasm.
If Harry went to the teacher's lounge it was more than possible that he would get the book back but that was assuming Snape was in the teacher's lounge. And if he was what was the guarantee he wouldn't be alone in there?
Harry came back a few hours later and told them what he saw.
"So he's got teeth marks in his knee. Huh? I guess even teachers make mistakes and walk into places they shouldn't" Peter said.
"What? No Snape's trying to get past the three headed dog." Ron said.
"Sorry to burst your bubble Red but I don't think so. That dog's guarding something… he doesn't seem like the greedy type to me." Peter said.
"What's your reasoning?" Ron asked.
"Well for starters he's a teacher they don't get much of a pycheck. Second you're basing this off of how he treats you. But a jerk and a thief aren't the same thing." Peter said.
"He's not very nice but I don't think he would steal." Hermione said.
"Honestly you two must think that all teachers are saints or something." Ron said.
"Eh, no not really, saint implies that Mr. My Chemical Romance, doesn't act like My Chemical Romance." Peter said.
"What?" Ron asked.
"It's a muggle thing." Peter said.
He looked out the window. It was food for thought but he didn't believe that Snape would actually try to steal. There was still plenty of evidence to say other wise. Still it did explain his strange behavior on Halloween.
The next day was Quidditch, Peter had been excited to see Harry play since he never got to see him flying that day at the flying lessons.
He went with Ron, Hermione, and Gwen to the quidditch pitch to watch Harry play. They all sat in the stands to watch the game. It started very well and Gryffindor took the lead quickly. Peter cheered with the others as each score was made. The Game had picked up in intensity before Harry seemed to have seen the snitch. As he sped toward the snitch Flint simply blocked him from the snitch there was an uproar from the stands.
"DISGUSTING!" Ron yelled.
"TAKE HIM OUT REF! RED CARD!" Dean yelled.
Ron questioned him about that but Peter's focus was elsewhere. Harry had not regained control of his broom.
"Is he trying to look incompetent?" Peter asked.
His chocolate eyes surveyed the stand around them in search for sabotage. His eyes fell upon Snape. He was keeping his eyes locked on Harry.
"Hermione give me your binoculars." Peter requested.
She obliged handing him her binoculars. He put them to his eyes looking through the magnified specs. Snape was indeed looking right at Harry. And he was mumbling something. The Spider couldn't believe what he was seeing but he also noticed something else. Professor. Quirrell was also staring at Harry with a face of deathly calm.
"Boss I think he's being jinxed. Snape, or Quirrell." Peter said.
Hermione nodded running off. Peter held onto the rain probably tighter than he should as it creaked and splintered under the strength of his grip. Every bone in his body was screaming at him to jump in and help but he had to hope that Hermione has a hold of things.
Just as he didn't think he could wait any longer Harry regained control of his broom. He also seemed to have seen the snitch as he was racing incredibly fast towards the ground. He pulled up just time but ended up falling when he made a grab at the snitch. He went flying and skidded across the ground.
Harry stood up looking as though he was about to puke.
"He looks like he's gonna be sick." Hagrid said.
"I would lose my lunch to after a fall like that." Peter replied trying to make a joke so that his nerves wouldn't get the best of him.
There were a few seconds of tension as Harry stood there. Then he spat out a small gold ball.
The stands erupted with cheers. Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws alike. Even a few Slytherins were cheering for such a fantastic show of skill and for a spectacular catch.
Peter whistled loudly for Harry.
"GOOD ONE MATE!" Ron yelled.
So told from the perspective of Peter still but as you can see it's less about him than it was about Harry. I hope the perspective change didn't bore you.
