Chapter 13 – Be Careful Who's Watching

It seemed Snape had not changed his personality over the holidays and was just as evil with his detentions as always he decided for the two Gryffindors that to merely clean the caldrons was not enough. So he put together a special detention for the two. They were required to clean every caldron in the school, clean the floor of all six dungeons. Then they were required to gutted and savage the liver, heart and kidneys; placing them in different jars so that they could be used in classes later in the week. A refused to let them go until all the work had been finished without magic and all 200 rats had been sliced to pieces.

Three weeks later, the Gryffindors were to have their first match against the Slytherin house. The grand stands were filled with all the students, the teachers block was also full even Professor Lupin and his dog Snuffles had come out to see the days event.

Professor McGonagall had tried for weeks to find another commentator as good as, Lee Jordan, however she couldn't find anyone to compare; so therefore the school decided to hire him as the school commentator. People also had the suspicion that she didn't really want to see the boy leave.

"Well ladies and gentlemen I am back, see even graduating couldn't keep me away. Now I spend my days at Weasley Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley."

"Jordan stick to the game."

"Oh right you are professor. Ok now for the first Quidditch match of the season we have the great lions against the snakes." He spat. "Making up the teams for the loyal and fair Gryffindors we have Ronald Weasley recently named captain, Harry Potter and 4; two new chasers Hannah Jackson, Ginny Weasley and Alicia Spinnet are our beautiful chaser. And to replace two extraordinary beaters we have Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan."

Snape couldn't believe his ears he leant over and whispered to Professor McGonagall. "I think he is more biased then usual."

"I think I would have to agree, but I can't give him detention." She hid a smile from her college, what could she say; she was glad some things never change.

Harry soared in the air, loving to be back in a real math, playing with the Weasleys or Sirius and Remus was fun however there was nothing like a real game. Harry was lost in the shear pleasure of the game, and didn't actually hear Lee announce the Slytherin players. Who had six new members and their new captain Draco Malfoy. The only thing that bought Harry's attention to the commentator's box, was Professor McGonagall "JORDON, BE A LITTLE LESS BIASED OR AT LEAST A LITTLE LESS OBVEIOUS."

"Right you are professor."

The game played out, it seemed with the new players they had become a better team no longer relying on tricks and questionable tactics however skill. But as always Mr. Malfoy's skills remained the same.

Harry caught a grimace of the golden ball, he glanced at his opponent only to find that he had once against not seen that objects they were both in search for.

The snitch was directly beneath them both, floating a meter off the ground.

Harry dropped out of mid air as if his broom had suddenly failed. A large dog could be heard among the screams of people franticly barking.

But all of a sudden before Harry hit the ground; he stopped. With his hand grasping the small flying objects.

"Harry potter, has caught the snitch, and given as heart failure while doing it. Geeze, Potter next time give us a warning."

"Give me that mic, HARRY POTTER DO NOT EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN." Screamed McGonagall

Harry swallowed the small lump in his throat. As he landed and was met with screams and cheers; the Gryffindors had won that now there was likely to be a huge party. Among the masses, Remus Lupin pushed his way through the crowd, accompanied by the large grim like dog that seemed to follow the slightly grey headed man everywhere.

"Harry could you come with me I have something to talk to you about in my office."

Harry was embraced by the large form of Sirius Black. "Harry what the hell was that you trying to kill me."

"And you know Harry dogs don't live as long as people." Sirius glared at his best friend.

"Sirius what wrong, it wasn't that bad." Sirius was speechless and motioned for Remus to continue with what he was going to say."

"Harry what I believe Sirius is trying to say is that; please don't do anything like that again, you nearly caused both of us to have a heart attack."

"Ok, sorry ... but it really was only the only way to get the snitch."

"WHERE IS HE, I WANT TO SEE MY GODSON SO I CAN KILL HIM.... WHAT DID HE THINK HE WAS DOING?"

Harry was unsure what to do so he hid behind Remus and Sirius. It was not that he was afraid of his Godmother in the strictest sense however she had a temper worse then Snape sometimes.

"Umm Arabella ... I ah forgot that... that you where there."

"Harry ... what were you doing? You have to promises me that you wont do anything like that again."

"Umm... yeah I promise," said Harry. 'Especially if you guys are in the crowd that's for sure.'

Harry returned to the common room; where he was net with more enthusiasm for his catch at the game. Except for Katherine and Hermione whose tempers were worse then Arabella's.

Katherine and Hermione had become extremely close friends due to there shared interest especially in their thrust for knowledge and love for cats. Their familiars had also seemed to have founded a friendship; as they seemed to disappear every night out of the common room together.
