Percy Weasley raised his wand in front of the troll

"Wingardium Leviosa" he swished and flicked his wand

The trolls bat rose in the air, the troll looked at it dumbly

"He used the levitation charm, isn't it a first year spell?" said Bagman, the audience started to laugh

"Oh, shut up" Ron muttered under his breath, and his face went scarlet red

The bat now was exactly above the troll's head, and suddenly, the bat fell from the air on the troll's head, leaving him unconscious

"Well, that was clever and very innovative" Bagman commented, and the audience clapped loudly

"That's what Jack did when we faced the troll in our first year" said Hermione

Percy moved on to the next part, he put his hand in his pocket

"What is he doing?" asked Ron

"A Galleon?" Bagman said surprised, Percy pulled out a Galleon from his pocket

The next second, the niffler stopped doing what he was doing, and turned his head slowly to Percy's direction

"Of course, nifflers are attracted to shiny things" Bagman commented

Now, the niffler was running toward Percy, who directed his wand toward the niffler

"Arresto Momentum" Percy waved his wand

The niffler, started running in slow motion. Percy approached him carefully, and pulled out something from the niffler's pouch, little tiny golden winged thing the snitch

"and Percy Weasly passed the task" Bagman announced, and the audience clapped loudly, especially Hogwarts' students

"And now," said Bagman "the judges will rate Percy's audition"

Madam Maxime raised her wand and the number 9 came out of it

The same did Barty Crouch, and he gave Percy 10

Bagman gave him another 10, Dumbledore gave him 10

And Karkaroff gave him 4, the audience booed for him

"That leaves Percy with 43 points, and the first place" Bagman announced "The next task, will take a place on March 27, the snitches got a clue for each champion, and they have two months to find out what the task will be, good luck"

"Harry, I need your help" said Percy, Harry was sitting in the common room, with Ron and Hermione, writing potions essay for Snape

"Yes, Percy, you did great in the first task" said Harry

"Yes, thank you" said Percy "it's related to the task, you know we got the snitches, and they got a clue for the next task, don't you?" he asked, and pulled the snitch out of his robe pocket

"Yes, I do" Harry asked, confused

"The flesh memories and remember the touch of the first person who handled them in case of a disputed capture" Said Percy, "this snitch was released before, and one of the seekers or former seekers had caught her, so it may contain something inside, but only that seeker can open it"

"So, you want me to try and open it to you?" Harry asked

"Yes, please" said Percy

"But how?" asked Harry

"You should just hold it, and it will open if it remembers you" said Percy, and gave the snitch to you, he took it held it, but nothing happened

"It's not one of my snitches" said Harry "Sorry"

"But… but I tried every other seeker, it has to be you" said Percy

"But it didn't open! I did hold it, I'm not the one who caught this snitch" said Harry

"I guess you're right, I'll try something else" said Percy "Thank you, anyway"

"You are welcome, if there's another thing we can do, we'll be happy to do it" said Harry

Percy turned around, and walked away

"That was weird" said Ron "if he tried every other seeker, then who had caught this snitch?"

"Maybe the seeker had graduated?" asked Hermione

"I think Percy had already sorted that out, I've heard from Fred and George, that he sent it to every possible seeker" said Ron

"Wait!" said Harry "maybe that's my first snitch?"

"So, what if it's your first snitch?" asked Ron

"You didn't catch the snitch then, you almost swallowed it" said Hermione

"We should go and find Percy" said Harry

"I still don't understand" said Ron

"We'll explain later" said Hermione, who was following Harry out of the common room. Ron followed them

"Where, do you think, he went?" asked Hermione

"Do you have the Marauders map on you?" asked Harry

"Yes, I do" she said, and pulled it out of her bag "I solemnly swear, that I'm up to no good" she pointed her wand at the map, and it turned on

"Where is he?" asked Harry

"The owlery" Hermione answered "let's go" they started running to the owlery

"Wait! Percy" shouted Ron to his brother

"What?" he asked

"Give me the snitch" said Harry "I may know how to open it"

"Really? How?" asked Percy, now looking hopeful

"Just give it to him" said Hermione, and he did so, though he was looking at her irritated

Harry, held the snitch, and then slowly kissed the snitch

"Really? Kissing the snitch? That's ridiculous" said Percy

But the snitch did open to him, Harry got the letter out of it and held it up, as to show it to Percy

"No need to thank me" said Harry, and turned away

This afternoon, Hermione went to the hospital wing to see Jack, he was still petrified, the potion is not ready yet, it'll be done in the end of April, but she couldn't wait. First, she missed Jack very much, she wanted to fix things between them, and also, wanted to know, to know things, the things he's going to explain later in his letter

She pulled out the letter, she kept it with her, and read it again, he was right about the diary, but it couldn't be only guesses, right the attack started after the diary was stolen, but he described the way of Horcrux's work so accurately

And he knew they will suspect Malfoy, and he even said that Voldemort accused Hagrid, is that why Hagrid was expelled? And he also knew where is the entrance to the chamber, an entrance that a lot of expert wizards came to search, but couldn't find

But he seemed unsure about himself being petrified, he also wasn't sure if he would be petrified or dead, then he wasn't a seer or something, Jack has a secret, and she had to know what is it

And of course, she headed to the library to investigate the matter
