Steph and I ran to Dumbledore the next morning. "Professor Dumbledore! We saw Professor McGonnagal, and we talked to her!"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrow. "I see. What did you talk about?"

"She said she wasn't dead, and she couldn't escape the horror of her students. She's still thinking of coming back… we don't think she will, because she didn't sound like it… could you help us convince her?" Steph said.

"I make no promises, but if I happen to see her… I'll tell her," Dumbledore said. "And you girls can NOT tell anyone about this. Understand?"

We nodded.

Jack was walking to transfiguration class. "Jack," I said. "You can't go there!"

"Why not?" he asked. "I thought McGonnagal was back."

"Not yet," Steph grinned.

"Ergh, okay," he said grumpily. "Then I guess I'll go to Quidditch."

Jack was always getting trophies for Quidditch. But I guess he was put under pressure when the real games count, and they don't win the tournament. "Win us some trophies!" I called.

"Quidditch tournament today!" called Madam Hooch. "Will Slytherin win again… or will the talented Gryffindor finally?"

Everybody stopped their classes and went outside to see the tournament. Madam Hooch released the red quaffle and the game began.

Jack was the seeker. "Go, Jack!" Tori cheered.

Then, the golden snitch was released. Jack and Range were going after the seeker. Range, the seeker on the other team, was behind Jack. "Get it, Jack!" Steph and I cheered at the same time. "Gooo, Jack!"

While they were chasing it, Slytherin scored a goal. "WHOOOO!" cheered the other Slytherin members.

Range got distracted by that a little, and got knocked off his broom. "Nooo!" he cried.

Jack saw a glitter of the snitch far above the players, moving around slowly (as if it was acting like a bug or something). He flew up. The snitch avoided him and zoomed around. Jack tried to catch up. He put one hand out, in a curved shape, catching up to the snitch. He was getting closer to it, when it went up above him and disappeared to the other side. "Noo!" I cried. "Get it, Jack!"

Jack flew around quickly and curved his hand out again. He stretched it out far… getting closer and closer…

He caught it! "Oof!" It zoomed around in his hand; which made his hand punch himself in the stomach.

He showed it to the judges, and that made Gryffindor win. "HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!" Steph, Tori and I cheered along with the rest of Gryffindor. Tori was the only person in Hufflepuff who liked Gryffindor (everybody decided they weren't too good after losing for over 8 years).

Jack smiled.

HA to Slytherin!
