Word about the potions lesson had spread all over the school very quickly. Malfoy was now more angry at Harry because Professor Snape had gone form faviorting the Slytherins to being mroe ferm with them.

At lunch, Harry managed to find Tom and Jerry and get them to stop.

"You're lucky I didn't get in trouble." He said to them as he walked into The Great Hall and sat next to his friends.

"I gotta admit Harry, you've got the craziest pets in the whole wide world." Said Neville.

"You can say that again."

"Harry look at this." Ginny said as she showed him a copy of the daily proppet. "Somebody broke into Gringotts."

"Let me see." Jerry said as he looked at the artical. "Gringotts Goblins said that nothing was stolen. The vault in question was number 7-1-3 which had been emptied erlier that very same day."

"Isn't that the vault we've been to with Hagrid?" Tom asked.

"Did he say what was in it?" Luna asked.

"No. He was very strickted not to tell us." Said Harry.

"We'll have to go and see him sometime then." Said Ginny.

"Later. We've got Flying after lunch." Said Neville.

"Great. The last thing I wanted was to make a fool of myself on a broom in front of Malfoy." Said Harry


After lunch, Harry and his friends walked to the training grounds outside for the Flying lesson. By then, Madom Hooch walked by to begin the lesson.

"Good afternoon class." She said.

"Good afternoon Madam Hooch."

"Welcome to your first flying lesson. Everyone step to the left side of your brooms. Then stick out your right hand and say up."

"UP!"

Harry's broom and even Ginny's instently flew to their hands. But they were the few that did it. Luna's broom just rolled a bit.

"UP!" Malfoy demanded.

Yet his broom wacked him on his face.

"OW!"

"Surves him right." Ginny whispered to Harry.

"Everyone got your brooms? If not just pick it up manily." Madam Hooch said to the class. "Alright. Everyone mount onto your broom. Hold on tight. Don't want you slipping off the end. When I blow my whistle, I want you to kick off the ground and hover for a moment and then drop back down. Ready? 3. 2. 1. (whistle)."

Just as she blew it, Neville ended up moving already.

"Mr. Longbottom."

Neville ended up going higher and higher. Until he ended up moving.

"Mr. Longbottom! Come back here this instent!"

But Neville had no control of his broom as he was shaking. And then he spined in the air as he hit the castle walls. Until he flew over the roof and his robe got caught by a gargoyle. Until it ripped and he fell but got caught again by a torch. Until he slipped out of his robe and fell to the ground.

"Neville!" Harry, Ginny, and Luna shouted as they ran to him.

Tom and Jerry were in another one of their chase seens. But stopped when they saw what happened to Neville and ran to see if he was alright.

"Oh dear." Madam Hooch said as she got Neville up and looked at his arm. "It's a broken wrist. I knew I should have had Dumbledore replace these old broom. Everyone is to keep their feet furmly on the ground while I escort Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing. Understand? If I see just one broom in the air, the one riding it will find him or herself out of Hogwarts before they can say Quidditch."

As they walked away, Malfoy walked over and picked something Neville dropped. It was a remembrall like the one Harry has.

"Did you see his face?" He asked his goons. "Maybe if the fat lump had given this a sqeeze, he would have remembered to fall on his bottom."

"Give it here Malfoy!" Harry said to him.

"No. I'll leave somewhere for Longbottom to find. How about the roof?"

And then, Malfoy took off on his broom.

"Get back here Malfoy! You're gonna get us all in trouble!"

"No way. I like the view up here."

"Then you've left me no choice!"

Everyone watched as Harry mounted onto his broom and took off.

"Harry wait!" Jerry shouted. But he didn't listen.

"Give it here Malfoy or I'll knock you off your broom!"

"You want it? Come and get it."

"Here we go now." Said Tom.

Harry followed Malfoy as fast as the broom can go. Until,

"Want it Potter? Catch."

Malfoy tossed the remembrall as Harry flew after it. Until, he did a forty foot dive and cought it.

However, he did it in front of McGonagall's office as she saw what happened from the window.

Harry then flew back down as the students cheared for him. Ginny rushed over and hugged him. By then, Tom and Jerry ran by and tackled him to the ground.

"That was brillient." Said Jerry.

"Well done Harry." Said Tom.

"Harry Potter!" McGonagall called as she walked in. "Follow me please."

Harry then saw the look of sadisfaction on Malfoy's face. That was what Malfoy wanted.

Harry shivered as he followed McGonagall with Tom and Jerry in tow. All of them feared Harry was gonna be expelled and soon be back at the Dursley's in the cupboard under the stairs.


"Wait here." McGonagall said as she walked into the Defense Against The Dark Arts classroom. "Professor Quirrell. May I barrow Mr. Wood for a while?"

"Why yes."

By then, she returned with an older student.

"Mr. Potter, this is Oliver Wood. I have found you a seeker."

Tom and Jerry gasped as they knew what seeker meant. Harry was gonna be on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team.
