"Who did this to my precious Firebolt?" screamed Malfoy.
"I don't know, but maybe this is a sign you shouldn't brag." replied Harry, with Hermoine and Ron giggling at the thought of Malfoy screaming.
"Shut up, Potter. Say, I bet you did this because you wanted to eliminate me as competition. I thank you for the compliment of you having to cheat to get rid of me, but I'm still furious!"
"How could you say that?" answered Harry. "Ron, Hermoine, and I just arrived. We don't know anything about your Firebolt. We didn't even know you had one!"
"What do we have here, Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy?" a low voice asked from a classroom near the corridor in which the spilled contents of a Firebolt remained.
"Harry broke my Firebolt and hid it in my bag!" Malfoy blurted out as fast as he could,.
"I did not."
"I see Mr. Potter. Trying to deny the obvious. How sure are you, Mr. Malfoy."
"Well," Draco began, "I realized something was wrong when my bag felt light as I opened it. And, as you can see, Harry has grown much more."
"What does that have to do with anything?" muttered Ron.
"You see, I have two new friends by my side. When I went to the bathroom, they were much taller." Malfoy pulled the capes off the two. It was Crabbe and Goyle! "Harry and Ron must have been the two people with me in the beginning. While I was in the restroom, they must have switched! Hermoine was also in on it too!"
"I see. You six come with me. We must go straight to Dumbledore, now.
"Great job Malfoy. You made up stories to get us in trouble."
"I'll do anything to get you in trouble."
In Dumbledore's office, Snape tried to explain what happened, but Dumbledore wouldn't have it. He told the two boys to keep out of trouble, which meant ignoring each other if it came to that. That would be tough to do, however, because Harry had most of his classes with Slytherin, and Draco wasn't happy.
"I know you did it Potter."
"Why you trying to ignore me? You're actually listening to Dumbledore?"
"You ruined my life."
"I can't believe you. I wish you would just die."
And the bothering continued. Not only did Malfoy bother Harry, he also bothered Ron, Hermoine, Crabbe, and Goyle. It turns out that the two hooded people were never found. That made matters worse for the five being bothered.
Finally, Malfoy's angry grew to strong, and he trapped Harry in an empty classroom. It was late at night: that meant no teachers and no one outside except some second years who decided to see how Hogwarts was like at night.
Suddenly, from the room, arguing was heard. Then, shuffling. Finally, a loud bang was heard. So loud, it scared the second years back to their beds.
Next morning, Malfoy was found dead near the doorway of the empty classroom.
"I don't know, but maybe this is a sign you shouldn't brag." replied Harry, with Hermoine and Ron giggling at the thought of Malfoy screaming.
