AN:I do not own Bleach or Harry Potter


Hitsugaya made his way up the winding path, his eyes taking in the throngs of exited students as they made their way to the first quidditch game of the season. Toshiro found himself surrounded by several members of his own team, Roger Davies being the closest to him, "I'm not rooting for Slytherin, I'm just sayin, I don't think Gryffindor can win."

Grant Page looked at his friend with a sad face, "I suppose you're right Roger, still I hope you're wrong. Merlin, how I'd love to see those snakes lose."

Roger nodded his head, "So would I, I just don't see it. I mean, Wood's good, and the twins got talent, but their chasers just got run over all last year. Two are back and their third couldn't even make the starting line last year."

"Not to mention their starting a first year at seeker, that's a lot of pressure their puttin on him. If he can't catch the snitch quick they don't have a chance." Jason Samuels spoke up from the far side of the group.

"Everyone in Gryffindor says he's as good as Charlie Weasley." Hermione spoke up from his side.

Roger looked at her to, "They say Weasley was great, could have gone pro, but even he only led them to one cup."

"Enough talk, the game's about to start. Lets get in our seats and see what happens." Jason led the group into the stadium and up to the seats.

As they were getting settled Roger smiled at Toshiro, "Enjoy the game, and don't forget Sam wants you to pay attention to how the chasers play. You got any questions, just ask." Toshiro nodded his head at his fellow chaser as Hermione sat down next to him.

His eyes looked around the stadium, taking in the large crowed that filled the wooden structure. After several minutes a roar filled the air as he, and the crowd, saw the doors open and the two teams flew out of their tunnels and into the bright open sky. The Gryffindor and Slytherin teams circled the pitch, some flying low while others flew by the towers. "Hello and welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season. Today's game, Slytherin versus Gryffindor!" The excitement from the announcer seemed infectious as the crowd cheered again and began waving small flags and banners to show their supportfor the two teams, Grant leapt to his feet and whipped out a small gold and red flag and began waving it everywhere. Everyone else nearby was hollering in excitement, even Hermione was cheering on the Gryffindor team. Toshiro just kept silent as the teams came together.

As the two sides formed up around the center of the field the announcer came back, "The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps onto the field to begin the game!" His eyes examined the players as Madam Hooch spoke to them, to far away to hear what she said. Finally she stopped and kicked open the trunk by her foot. "The Bludgers are up, followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember, the Snitch is worth 150 points. The Seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game." Hooch then reached down and picked the Quaffle out of the trunk and threw it up, "The Quaffle is released and the game begins!"

Toshiro watched as the two teams lurched forward for the red ball. The scarlet robes came away with it and shot off toward the Slytherin goal, dodging opponents left and right she launched the ball into the top hoop before the keeper could stop it. Hitsugaya leapt to his feet with the rest of the crowd and applauded the play, while those around cheered. "Angelina Johnson scores! Ten points for Gryffindor!" The keeper collected the ball and threw it back into play, "Slytherin takes the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint." Said captain began making his way up field, ducking out the way of a bludger and kicking away one of Gryffindor's chasers before taking a shot at the top goal only to be denied by their keeper, Wood if he remembered right.

The lions had the ball again and were weaving their way across the field, passing the quaffle in-between them before scoring another goal. "Another ten points for Gryffindor!"

Grant leaned over to Roger grinning like a mad man, and had to yell to be heard of the crowd, "Seems like you were wrong about their chasers!"

Roger smiled back, "Here's hoping!"

Toshiro looked at the two before speaking up, "Its only been a couple of minutes, don't jump to conclusions." But the two just waved him off as a green clad chaser had his shot blocked by Wood. As his teal eyes followed the quaffle away from the Gryffindor end of the field he heard the crowd took a collective gasp, turning to see what they were looking at, he saw Wood slumped over his broom slowly returning to the ground before sliding off and crashing into the sand beneath the goals.

Slytherin got a save from their keeper and took the ball back down field, now without a keeper Gryffindor couldn't stop them from scoring. As Gryffindor took the quaffle back one of their chasers soon found herself sandwiched between two rival chasers, unable to get away they led her straight into one of the towers, stripping her of the quaffle just before she hit it. As the crowed booed the Slytherins Hitsugaya saw her laying unconscious on the ground. Now down two players the stage was set for a rout as Slytherin scored another easy goal.

As Toshiro watched Flint score another goal he became aware of his neighbors looking much higher. Roger was standing next to him, "What the hell is going on with Potter?" Now curios, he raised his own eyes to see Potter jerking all over the place as his broom moved in a strange fashion. Soon the boy was thrown from his broom, only managing to hold on with one hand, he was holding on for dear life high in the sky. Toshiro wondered if he would survive a fall from such height, his research seemed to show that wizards were hardier then normal humans.

Grant sounded confused when he spoke what many were thinking, "It almost looks like his broom's been jinxed."

Hermione shook her head vigorously beside him, "That's not possible! Professor McGonagall gave him a Nimbus 2000, they have strong charms to prevent tampering!"

Roger didn't take his eyes off the boy in the sky, "Well, that ain't bad flyin, I can tell you that. If that's not a jinx, I don't know what is!" Hermione went quiet as she returned her eyes to the sky.

The Weasley twins came over to try and help as the broom continued to try and shake its rider, through the boy was able to get his other hand on the broom now. The Slytherin team took advantage of the situation and continued to score as three more Gryffiondor's were taken out of the equation. Finally unable to hold on any longer, Potter lost his grip on the smooth wood of his broom and fell, and everyone who was sitting leapt to their feet to see what would happen. One of the twins immediately shot forward, catching him before he could meet the ground. Toshiro supposed that was a good thing, though it would have been interesting to see just how much damage a wizard could take. Of course being a child may skew the results, then it would have been for nothing.

Even as one beater returned to earth with the boy, his brother had caught the free falling broom and joined them. Potter seemed to say something to them before remounting his broom and returning to the game. Toshiro simply refocused on the chasers as the Weasley twins got back to work. The game didn't last much longer through, as Potter came diving out of the air beside the other seeker. While his opposite abandoned the chase early, Potter continued his dive, pulling up just before he slammed into the ground. As Toshiro shifted his eyes to watch Slytherin score another goal their was an intake of breath across the stadium. Looking to their source, he once again saw Potter standing on the grass holding his stomach. As he watched he saw the boy cough something into his hands, "He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!" Madam Hooch blew her whistle, signaling the end of the game. "Gryffindor wins! Gryffindor wins! 170 to 60!" The crowd went wild, particularly the Gryffindor supporters, while the Slytherin fans were quiet.

As Potter held the snitch aloft for all to see, his team circled above him celebrating their victory over their hated rival. "Now that was a good game!"

"You said it Roger! Though maybe a little to quick!"

"Don't say that to Gryffindor Jason, they were down forty points and two players. If Harry hadn't caught it quick they would have lost."

Jason shrugged his shoulder, "Maybe, but I wasn't rooting for either of them. I just wanted to see a good game of quidditch. I would have liked to see a match go at least twenty minutes." The others just got up and began to make their way to the exit.

As the five Ravenclaws made their way out of the stadium with the rest of the crowd, Toshiro thought over the game, and the possible jinx on the broom. When they had gotten away from the main body of students and had a little more privacy Roger spoke up, "So, what did you two think? Wonderful game isn't it?"

Hitsugaya looked up at the beaming third year, "Certainly exciting. I can't wait to get out there for myself." He did want to get out there and hit someone without getting in trouble.

"And you Hermione?" Grant spoke up from the rear of the group.

The girl had been quite animated during the game, but now returned to her normal self. She looked over the group, "Well, it was thrilling, if a little violent."

As they made their way back into the castle Roger put his hand on Toshiro's shoulder. The captain fought the urge to smack the hand away as it guided him away from Hermione, "Come on, Sam's gonna want to talk about the game. See what we saw and such. We have to play them both latter in the season, so best get it out while its fresh." Hitsugaya gave a nod and with a wave of his had to Hermione he was whisked away for a long team meeting.


The game had thrown off his schedule, so it was that he found himself standing outside the Room of Requirement early on Sunday morning. Hitsugaya paced three times before the wall and waited. Just as the first crack in the wall appeared he felt that strange presence again, there for a moment before it was gone. He felt it every time he used the room. First, when he opens the room, then again, when he was done and the room resealed itself. Something about it seemed familiar to the captain, but he couldn't figure out what it was, but each time it seemed clearer to his mind.

"Are you going in or not?" Toshiro looked at the cat by his feet, she never felt it. Taking a deep breath he tried to ignore the strange feeling and do what he came here to do. Letting his breath out, he stepped into the room to do what he had to do, the cat trailing in his wake.

After his time in the room he spent the rest of his day in the library, reading about low-level shield charms and their uses. Wondering how they compared to kido barriers, he saw a trio of boys enter the library. Upon closer examination he saw Potter, Weasley, and Longbottom. In all the time he spent here he couldn't ever recall see Potter or Weasley in the library, though sometimes Neville did come looking for one book or another. It was clear they had no idea what they were doing, but also were unwilling to ask for help. Deciding to ignore them he returned to his own book.

He was so focused on his book he barley noticed the girl's approach. The resounding thud of a large book drew his attention, looking to his side he saw Hermione pulling a chair out. The girl quickly sat down and leaned over to see what he was reading, "Shield Charms, that's a difficult spell." That said, she returned to her own book of famous wizards.

Hitsugaya looked back at the spell and indeed, from what he knew, it was one of the harder one. He knew he couldn't cast it now, no, he needed to learn the basics upon which the more advanced spells were based. Letting out a sigh he got up and book the book back. Perusing the shelf's he settled with Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed. Taking the book back to the table he sat down and began reading yet another book.


I used the movie as the basses for the match, seemed more interesting. I figure that in the excitement of Harry's fall someone knocked Quirrell over, causing him to break his spell. I didn't intend to make Hitsugaya sound like he wanted Harry to die, he was simply be practical, he is there to learn, observe, and report. Also I see Neville as Harry and Ron's occasional conspirator, since he was with them during some of the events in cannon, I feel that in the absence of Hermione he would be drawn in even more, however hesitantly. Any feedback would be appreciated.
