Destiny- The First Year

Chapter 8: Quidditch

It was a breezy October day. Harry, Charlie, Ron and Hermione were in Defence against the Dark Arts. They had begun to study basic duelling techniques and Sirius with the help of Remus were showing them some simple but useful Charms and Curses. After a while There was a knock at the door and a nervous man entered the room. He was wearing a turban and he smelled strongly of garlic.

"Sssir I wasss sssent to ssee yoouu" he stuttered.

"What about?" Sirius asked irritably

"I wasss assked byyy ddduummmbledoree too organissse the dddates I can dooo sommmme ssssstudent ttteaching in the summmer ttterm" he stuttered

Sirius checked his watch frowning annoyed

"Take a seat at the back of the class while I finish this lesson. I'll talk to you afterwards." Sirius said irritably

"Okay" he said turning back to his class. "Now, Professor Lupin will demonstrate the shield charm, and I will try to break through his shield with the disarming charm which I have just shown you. The shield charm is Protego. Okay then, ready Remus?" Sirius asked

"Yup" Remus smiled

"GO!" Sirius yelled.

After Remus's shield charm had successfully blocked Sirius's disarming charm three times the bell rang.

"Okay there's no homework tonight! You can all go!" Sirius panted.

The first years began to file out.

"Ok and Harry!" Sirius yelled after Harry

"Yeah?" Harry asked

"Good luck tomorrow!" he grinned

"Thanks Sirius! See you later!" Harry smiled.

"Bye!" Sirius sighed "okay you!" he turned to the man "what's your name?"

"Quirrellll sssirrrr!"

"Okay lets get this over with" Sirius sighed.

"Ten points to griffindor! Griffindor lead thirty points to zero!" Lee Jordan (Ron's brothers friend) yelled over the crowd of roaring Griffindors.

Harry grinned broadly. They were only ten minutes into the game and the Griffindors were already beating the slytherins!

Harry flew around the pitch weaving in and out of the stands looking for the snitch.

Griffindor scored again and Harry stopped for a minute to hover over the pitch and scan the field. He spotted a glint of gold and zoomed off towards it, or rather he tried to zoom off towards it but instead and doing what Harry wanted it to do Harry's nimbus 2000 (Sirius had begged McGonagall to let Harry have his own broom) began to buck and twist in the air like it was trying to unseat him.

"What's Happening to Harry's broom?" Hermione asked Charlie and Ron

"Dunno it never does that at home!" Charlie said confused

"Ron can I borrow your binoculars?" Hermione asked

"Why?" Ron moaned

"Because!" Hermione answered as she snatched them off him and began scanning the crowed.

"There!" she said excitedly "snapes cursing Harry's broom!"

"He's doing what!" Charlie yelled, "ooh I'll kill him! Or perhaps it would be more precise to say Sirius will kill him!" she said pointing to the stands where Sirius had just jumped on snape causing several people sat behind him to be thrown off their seats including Quirrel.

"Look Harry's off again!" Ron said pointing at Harry who had gained control of his broom again and was streaking after the slytherin seeker who had spotted the snitch. Harry was gaining and quickly passing the other seeker his arm out stretched he followed the snitch in a vertical dive and pulled up just before the floor. He stretched out his arm and grabbed the little golden ball in his fingers. The crowd went wild and Harry hopped off his broom to be met by the Griffindors who lifted him up and carried him back to the castle.

There was a huge party in griffindor tower that night but Harry, Ron, Charlie and Hermione managed to sneak out.

They headed down to Sirius's office. After Charlie, Hermione and Ron had told Harry about snape Harry was convinced he had to get revenge on him. He though Sirius could help them think up a big plan. He also wanted to see if Sirius had any theories as to why snape would do something that evil.

They arrived at Sirius's office as Quirrell was leaving.

"Hhhello" he stuttered before dashing away

"Strange" Ron said looking after him "seems a big mental if you ask me!"

They went into to Sirius's office and flopped down in the chairs around the fire. Sirius had no idea why snape would want to curse Harry's broom but he though it was probably because he was just an evil git with no life, who also hated Harry because of the pranks. Sirius still agreed they should do something to get snape back.

"How about we get some ever multiplying confetti?" Charlie asked "I saw a pack in the cupboard in the marauders room!"

"Yeah that would be fun!" Harry grinned "what colour was it?"

"Pink!" Charlie laughed

"Yeah put some honey in a bucket and put it above his door so when he opens it he gets covered in honey, then the confetti could fall from the ceiling and get stuck to the honey!" Sirius said evilly

"Okay then! We have got a plan so who's going to do what?" Hermione asked sensibly

"I'll head up the pranksters palace and fetch the confetti!" Sirius suggested "how many bags?"

"Three will do!" Harry grinned

"Okay!" Sirius smiled "I can't wait to see this!"

"I will go to the kitchens and fetch some honey in a bucket and stash it in the room of requirement for tonight then we can get up early so we can fill his office before breakfast!" Harry said enthusiastically

"I'll take the confetti up there too!" Sirius said

"Okay then all set!" Hermione said

"I'll help harry with the honey" Ron suggested

"Okay then lets head off now!" Harry smiled

Ron and Harry left the office followed by Hermione and Charlie. When they had gone Sirius flooed back to prankster's palace.

The next morning Harry and Charlie (who had volunteered to sneak into snapes office and set the prank up) joined Hermione and Ron at the Griffindor table in the great Hall.

"All set!" Harry said excitedly

"All we have to do is wait for snape to go into his office after breakfast and we'll see the results in potions!" Charlie whispered "this is going to be great!"

They all finished their breakfasts off extra quickly and headed of to potions as soon as the bell went. They were waiting outside the dungeon door when snape stormed into view covered in pink confetti. All the Griffindors were laughing at him as he strode passed into the dungeon.

"Fifty points from griffindor!" he yelled as he turned to face the class that were now filing in to the dungeon, "and if I find out who did this to me and my office I will make sure they are expelled or sacked!" He yelled looking directly at Harry and Charlie.

"It was worth it!" Harry muttered under his breath "anyway he was the one cursing my broom!"

A/n sorry this has taken me a bit longer than I expected to get up! I would have posted it yesterday but it was my birthday and I had riding in the morning and then I went to centre parcs with two of my friends for the rest of the day! The next chapter will hopefully take less time to get up as I have been writing it during my so called revision periods (when I was supposed to be revising!) Hope you all enjoyed this and thanks to my reviewers!

The next chapter will be mainly about the Christmas holidays!
