Chapter 10

Through breakfast the next day everyone at the Gryffindor table were crowded around us congratulating us on our win against Slytherin, while the whole of Slytherin table were turned to glare at us, clearly not over their loss. During Potions the Slytherin did everything in their power to make our lives as miserable as possible and was of course assisted by Snape who was asking us questions that no first year would know (except for Hermione) and every time we got a question wrong we got a question wrong we lost five points so by the end of the lesson we had lost 30 points.

"I hate him" Ron said angrily as we walked towards the great hall for lunch

"He did that only because we beat Slytherin" Harry said bitterly

As the weeks passed there was no improvement in Snape's behaviour but Harry and Ron officially hated Hermione despite my best efforts for them to be friends

"Why are you friends" was the frequent question that was asked on both sides

One day in October Midnight flew down to the Gryffindor table but for the first time ever she was carrying a long package which she dropped right in front of me. Attached to the package which said.

Do not open this now; it is your new broom. Meet Wood tomorrow for your first quiddich practise

I looked over to Harry and saw a similar shaped package in front of him; we rose at the same time and walked out of the great hall where we met Malfoy

"that's a broomstick isn't it, you're done for it now, first years aren't allowed broomsticks" he said snarling

The tiny Professor Flitwick our charms teacher came bustling down the marble staircase for break when Malfoy suddenly called out

"Professor they have broomsticks!"

We scowled at Malfoy and turned to Flitwick

"Oh you Minerva told me all about your special circumstances concerning you two being on the quiddich team, a very well done to you two"

"Well Professor it's all thanks to Draco here, if we hadn't played that friendly game of quiddich we would have never discovered we could play" I said smirking at the dumbstruck expression on Malfoys face

"Well very good Mr Malfoy!" He said as he walked through the oak doors into the grounds

"You know you're not even that good" Malfoy said scornfully

"Right and that's why they were chosen for the team and you weren't" said Ron snidely who just come out of the great hall

"Shut it Weaselby! And unless my ears are deceiving my you didn't get onto the team either and least I've got two gallions to rub together" then before we could stop him Ron lunged at Malfoy

"Weasley, no fighting in the corridors, 50 points from Gryffindor" said Snape as he walked up from the dungeons.

I was just about to argue then I felt a painful kick in the shin from Harry who said "it wasn't worth it"

"50 points from Gryffindor! 50! Because Malfoy insulted Rons family. How on Earth is that fair!" I said furiously

"Yeah but since when has Snape been fair?" Harry said bitterly

"Come on we've got to get to defence against the dark arts" Ron said lousily

So we made our way to defence against the dark arts which we had with Hufflepuff.

Later that evening while Harry and Ron were doing homework and Hermione was studying, Alexis walked over to Fred and George who as usual were being larger than life

"hey Smith, hows our young chaser doing?" Fred said walking over and messing up her hair with his hand

"Ahh, get off! What are you doing anyway?"

"Nothing that concerns you, innocent first year" Fred said now having her in a headlock

"Well, since you're not doing anything, I've got an idea!"

"what kind of an idea" the twins asked simultaneously

Alex reveilled a sly smile "a prank"

the twins looked at each other grinning and turned back to face Alex "Wicked!"
