Chapter 33

I woke early the morning of the quidditch match. This match I was determined not to injure myself. I went down to the great hall to eat breakfast and found the rest of the team already there. The weather outside was looking horrible but, thanks to Wood's obsessiveness, we've trained in worse. I decided that while we were here I would do something useful.

"Hand me your glasses and goggles." I told them. THe others looked at me in confusion but Harry just handed his glasses over. "Impervius". "That's a water repelling charm. You'll be able to see better now." I told him as I handed them back. Everyone else handed me their goggles too and I performed the spell on them as well.

"This is great!" Wood exclaimed. "Thanks Annie." I just smiled at him.

...

We were in our positions and the match was about to start. I saw Sirius in the stands. He was a free man so he was in human form and he waved at me and Harry. I smiled. Then Madame Hooch released the balls and the game began. I went strait for the quaffle but was elbowed out of the way by a Slytherin player. He grabbed it and I chased after him. He tried to pass it to another chaser but I got in between and ceased the ball before making a sharp one-eighty and speeding off in the other direction.

I made my broom go slower than it could and flew towards the hoops. Two Slytherins were closing in on my sides so I suddenly switched to full speed. I got almost ten meters before they realized what I had done. I gave a powerful throw and it headed for the bottom left hoop. The keeper dived for it but missed and I scored. Harry flew past and we high-fived before he continued looking for the snitch.

Katie Bell scored another and I scored two more. We were currently leading 40-0. Actually 50-0 because Angelina Johnston just scored another one. The game was going great and I hadn't been injured! However, the Slytherins were starting to play dirty. Some of the chasers were charging at people who didn't have the quaffle, just so they could get them out of the game.

I heard a whooshing sound heading my way and I ducked on instinct. A bludger went over me where my head would have been. I saw another one coming at me but Fred knocked it away and I kept flying. Katie passed me the quaffle and I headed for the left hoop. I faked left before throwing it in the right hoop. 60-0.

I saw Harry dive for something. I spyed the glint of gold near the ground and the Slytherin seeker, Draco Malfoy, was no where near it. I saw Flint fly at Harry. I quickly swooped down and blocked him. He angrily pushed me and the force nocked me off my broom. Oh hell no! I am not getting injured this game! I grabbed my broom and dangled there. I looked up and Flint was still there. He gave me a malicious smile and started shaking my broom. Prat!

No one was watching me because everyone was watching Harry chase the snitch. I glared at him and tried to get back on as he was shaking it. How is no one seeing this?! Stupid Flint. I suppose we are in the corner of the field and no one is paying us attention. I heard the whistle and Lee Jordan announcing that Harry caught the snitch. Flint didn't let go though. He kicked my arm and I shrieked and lost my grip.

I was falling fast and I closed my eyes waiting for the inevitable, bone crushing, impact with the ground. But it didn't come. I felt myself land in a pair of strong arms. I opened my eyes and saw Fred. I looked down and saw that we were mere meters away from the ground. I threw my arms around his neck in an awkward kind of hug. "Oh my god, thank you!" I exclaimed. McGonagall's voice came over the loud speaker.

"Mr Flint, we do not deliberately grab peoples brooms and unseat them when the game is in progress, let alone when the game has ended!" She sounded really mad. "Come to the head masters office and we will talk about your punishment."

Ha! I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. Fred flew to the ground and gently set me down. Harry ran over to us. "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"Yep! I didn't get injured!" I exclaimed happily. "You owe me ten Galleons."

"Wait! You bet on her getting injured?" Fred asked us.

"Harry thinks I'm 'accident prone'." I told Fred before turning to Harry. "It wasn't even my fault I fell. Flint was trying to hurt me because I stopped him from ramming into you." Harry sighed and handed me ten Galleons. I took five and gave them to Fred. "You get half because you saved me. Thanks again by the way."

"It's fine." He said. "Keep your money." He tried to hand it back to me but I closed his hand around it.

"No take it! Put it towards opening your joke shop." I said as I winked at him. He looked surprised for a moment but then he remembered why I knew that and he just smiled at me.

...

By the time I had showered and changed it was lunch time because the match had taken a few hours. Harry, Hermione, Neville, Ron, Fred (George was doing something with Lee) and I were sitting in a big group at the Gryffindor table. We had just started eating when Draco came over and sat down in between Hermione and I. He does that sometimes when he can't take some of the Slytherins.

"Crabbe and Goyle were complaining loudly about how their dads went on the run and I just couldn't take it anymore." He said. "Can I sit here Annie?"

"Sure." I smiled at him. He started talking to Hermione about books but I interrupted him. "Wait, did you say that Crabbe and Goyle senior are on the run?" I asked. I don't know why but I thought it was important. I remember they were death eaters.

"Yeah! The ministry is after them to give them a trial like the rest of the former death eaters." He explained. "They ran a few days ago." I nodded. I was starting to think that I could trust Draco. Same with Fred.

"Guys I think I want to show Fred and Draco the Library." I told them.

"Are you sure thats a good idea?" Harry asked.

"I don't know if I trust Draco." Ron said.

"Well I do." I said. "He can help us."

"But it's The Library!" Hermione exclaimed. "What if they tell someone?"

"They won't!" I defended.

"Hey guys!" Fred interrupted. "I may be a prankster but I know where the library is." Draco nodded in agreement.

"Not that library." Neville said before we continued arguing.

"It's my decision!" I said.

"But Fred will tell George. They never keep anything from each other." Ron insisted.

"He didn't tell George my other secret." I said.

"Fine!" Harry said.

"After lunch." Hermione agreed.

"Which entrance?" Neville asked.

"The one in the library." I said.

"You meant the one you used when Hermione...?" Harry asked. 'got petrified' I finished in my head.

"Yeah, that one." I told them. We all just stopped talking and continued eating.

"Okay. What the hell?" Fred asked.

"I am so confused." Draco admitted.

"After lunch." I hissed at them. They shut up and we all ate quickly.

...

After lunch, I took them to the school library. "We already knew about the library, Annie." Fred said.

"Just wait." I told him. I found the right wall and started running my hand along it.

"Umm. What are you doing?" Draco asked. I didn't answer as a section of the wall started to sing into the floor.

"Here it is." I said.

"That's a wall." Draco told me. He was looking at us worriedly.

"There's a notice-me-not charm on the entrances." Hermione explained for me. I pushed Draco through. Then Fred. Then everyone else. When I walked through the entrance closed.

"This isn't on the Marauders Map." Fred muttered.

"Neither is the Chamber of Secrets. Nor the Room of Requirement." I told him. "The Marauders didn't discover everything."

Hermione lead us down the tunnel. "Can I try saying it?" She asked me. I just shrugged. I didn't think it would work though. "The heir of Ravenclaw demands entry into her Library." She said. Nothing happened.

"It only works if the heir of Ravenclaw says it then." Harry said. Obviously. I walked over to the door.

"The heir of Ravenclaw demands entry to her Library." I said. The door swung open. Hermione playfully poked her tongue out at me. I laughed and lead them inside. "I'm home." I sighed happily. Everyone came in and sat at the table.

"Your the heir of Ravenclaw?" Fred asked.

"And Hufflepuff." Neville corrected. I lead Draco and Fred to the family tree wall and showed it to them.

"Harry's the heir of Gryffindor." Hermione told them.

I explained the library to them before we took turns explaining my story and where I was really from to Draco. After that we left and went our separate ways.

...

"AAAAAAHH!" I sat up quickly in my bed. What was that. The yell filled my ears again. I jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs to the common room. I heard it again. It was coming from the boys dorm. I ran up the stairs, Hermione right behind me. I opened the door to Harry's room and ran inside. Harry screamed again. He was rolling around and yelling in his sleep. Ron was trying to wake him up. I ran over and helped. "Harry!" I yelled as I shook him.

People were gathering past the doorway. Suddenly Harry's eyes flew open and he jerked into a sitting position. He looked around as if scanning for danger before he calmed down. "What happened?" He breathed.

"You had a nightmare mate. You were screaming." Ron told him.

"No, it wasn't just a nightmare." He muttered.

"What happened?" I asked him.

At that point, McGonagall showed up in her bathrobe and chased us all back to our beds. "I'll tell you tomorrow." He told me before I was herded back to my dorm room.
