Sense the troll insident on Halloween, everyone was now treating Luna with respect. Except for the Slytherins of course.

Quidditch season had finally come. Harry was worried sense he was the only first year in a century to ever get on the team. So worried he couldn't even touch his breakfast on the day of the first match.

"Harry. You gotta eat something." Said Ginny.

"She's right Harry. You need to be ready sense Gryffindor's getting the first match." Said Jerry.

"I'm not hungry."

"Good luck today Harry." Came in Professor Snape who just walked by. "Now that you've prooven yourself against a troll a little game of Quidditch should be easy for you. Even if it is against Slytherin which it is. Also, Professor McGonagall wanted you to have this."

He handed a parchment for Harry and then walked away.

"I thought you never get any real mail." Said Tom.

Harry opened it and it was revealed to be,

"A Nimbus 2000." He said.

By then, Quirrell walked into the Great Hall limping on his left leg.

"What happened to him?" Neville asked.

"I think I know." Said Harry. "You know Quirrell was the one who told us about the troll right?"

"Yes." Said Luna.

"He let it in as a divershion to get whatever that Cerberus on the third floor is guarding."

"Oh not with the Cerberus again." Said Tom.

"Tom. Jerry. Remember what Hagrid said about what was in vault 713?"

"Yes we do." Said Jerry.

"That's what the Cerberus is guarding. What ever that package was."

"But why would Quirrell want to steal it?" Ginny asked.

"We won't know for now."


Soon, it was time for the Quidditch Match. Harry was still nervus but felt prepared as well.

"Scared Harry?" Oliver asked.

"A little." He answered.

"Yeah. Felt the same way during my first game. Took a bludger to the head and woke up in the hospital wing a week later."

Soon, the doors opened up. The Gryffindor team flew out on their brooms to the pitch.

"Welcome everyone to the first Quidditch Match of the season. I'm your cometater Lee Jordon. Today's game, Slytherin vs Gryffindor. The captions Oliver Wood and Marcus Flint are shaking hands. And here come Madam Hooch to begin the game."

And there she was.

"Now I want a nice clean game from all of you." She said as she opened up the Quidditch ball crate.

"The rouge Bludgers are out. And there goes the golden snitch. Remember the seeker who catches the snitch ends the game with 150 points given to their team. The Quaffle is out and the game begins."

One of the chasers from Griffindor, Angelina Joneson, had grabbed the Quaffle and dodged as much as she can. By then she sprotched the Slytherin hoops and tossed the Quaffle. It went through the middle.

DING!

"Angelina Joneson has scored ten points to Gryffindor." Said Jordon as he covered the microphon with his hand. "I wish I could score a date with,"

"JORDON!" McGonagall shouted.

"I was trying to keep that side commet to myself professor."

"You had better."

As Harry looked for the snitch, he can see Ginny and Neville and Luna chearing for him at the Gryffindor stands. Hagrid was there with them.

"Wood passed the Quaffle to Katie Bell and...uh...and...uh. Professor McGonagall. Did Dumbledore plan on having a cat and mouse chase preformence on the pitch?"

"Jordon focus!"

The moment he heard that, Harry looked down on the filds and saw Tom and Jerry in their chase season again.

"Why do I keep turning my back on those two?" He asked himself. "They better not cause trouble because I need to keep watch for the snitch."

DING!

"Katie scored another ten points for Gryffindor. Still no sign of the snitch."

Harry kept watch. Trying as best as he can not to look down at Tom and Jerry.

But then, Flint grabbed one of the beaters bats and used it to hit a bludger onto Wood and made him go through a hoop and fell to the sand below. Right on top of Tom and Jerry.

And then, Flint tossed the Quaffle and scored 10 points for Slytherin.

"I thought only beaters were aloud to use the bats." Jerry said as he got up from under Oliver.

Harry continued to look out for the snitch. Alicia now had the Quaffle and was about to reach the Slytherin Hoops.

Until Flint thought ahead and he and another chaser from Slytherin hit Alicia from the sides. One of them snatched the Quaffle from her as both of them got her behind the curtens fo the stands. Earning a boo form Gryffindor and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw as she came back out and hit the ground. And before Wood could catch it, the Quaffle had reached the hoop.

"The score has tied 20 to 20." Said Jordon. "Wait. A glimps of gold. Is that the snitch? Potter has seen it. He's after it."

Just as Harry got closer to the snitch, Flint did a stunt and hit Harry from below and made him go out of control.

"Hey that's cheeting." Said Tom.

Madam Hooch then gave Gryffindor a free shot at the Slytherin hoops as Jordon tried not to let any of the students hear him by pointing the microphone away from his mouth.

"So that's what cheating is huh?"

"JORDON!" McGonagall shouted.

"I'm trying not to let anyone hear that."

"Jordon if you don't behave I am replacing you with Ms. Brown!"

Harry still couldn't get his broom back in control.

"Why won't Harry got back in control?" Jerry asked.

Tom pulled out a telescope and looked up at the stands. Until he saw Quirrell muttering something and he wasn't blinking.

"It's Quirrell. He's jinxing the broom."

"I'll stop him." Jerry said as he ran to the stands.

By then, Harry was starting to lose hold as he tried to get his broom back in control.

"Don't worry Harry. I'll catch you." Tom said as he got under him.

However, something pushed him back. Quirrell must have seen him do that.

"How did Quirrell see me? Oh you better hurry up you slow mouse."

Of course it didn't take too long for Jerry to reach the teacher stands as he got to Quirrell and pulled out a match box.

"I knew this would come in handy." He said as he pulled out a match.

Quirrell was too focused on Harry to see him. The mouse then set the other matches on fire and set the box near Quirrell's leg and left before he was seen.

Just as Harry was about to fall, Quirrell began to feel the hot flames on his leg.

"Whoaaahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone except Professor Snape turned to Quirrell as he fell over and casted a spell on his leg and put the flames out.

"Take him to the hospital so he can have his leg looked at." Said McGonagall.

Harry finally reganed control of his broom and got back on. He then saw that Higgs, the Slytherin seeker, was close to catching the snitch. Harry quickly flew to him. When he arrived, Higgs tried to slow him down by flying in fornt of him. But Higgs' Comet 260 was no match for Harry's Nimbus 2000. Both of them began to bump each other once Harry got closer. Until Harry got Higgs to hit the ground and fall off his broom.

Before Higgs got up, Harry began to stand on his broom and hold his hand out for the snitch. Until, he fell and the snitch ended up in his mouth.

"Harry!" Jerry shouted as he and Tom ran to him.

Just as the cat and moseu got to him, Harry spit the snitch out from his mouth onto his hands.

"He got the snitch." Said Jordon. "That's 150 points for Harry Potter."

Madam Hooch flew on her broom and blew her whistle before shouting,

"Gryffindor wins!"

"You did it!" Tom shouted.

"Three chears for Harry!" Jerry shouted. "Hip hip hooza! Hip hip hooza! Hip hip hooza!"

Harry held up the snitch in the air as everyone except the Slytheirns cheared him on.

"No! It was in his mouth! It shouldn't count as a catch!" Malfoy shouted. "Wait until my father hears about this!"


After the match, Harry took Ginny, Luna, Neville, and even Tom and Jerry to Hagrid's hut on the school grounds. From there, they met Hagrid's dog Fang. hagrid made tea and rock cakes for everyone. The cakes were hard as they were indeed what Hagrid tended for them to be.

"This is Neville Longbottom." Harry introduced him.

"Ah. I remember your parents. Such brillient people they were."

"Thanks." Said Neville.

"Over here is Luna Lovegood." Said Jerry.

"Luna Lovegood? I read your fathers magizean."

"Did you find any Nargles?" Luna asked.

"No."

"And this is Ginny Weasley." Said Tom.

"Another Weasley? I spent hath my life chasing Fred and George away from the forest."

"You know them. Always causing trouble." Said Ginny.

Once all that was done, the six of them told Hagrid what Tom and Jerry said to them on the way to the hut.

"Nonsense. Why would Professor Quirrell set a curse on Harry's broom?"

"Because he wanted to kill me." Said Harry.

"Rubish. Professor Quirrell is a Hogwarts teacher. He'd do no such thing."

"Then why did he try to get what that Cerberus on the third floor is guarding?" Ginny asked.

"How do you know about Fluffy?"

"Fluffy?" Tom asked. "That thing has a name?"

"Of coruse he's got a name. He's mine. Bought him off Greek stranger I met down at the pub last year. I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the..."

"Yes?" Neville asked.

"I shouldn't have said. I should not have said that. Listen to me. All of you. Professor Quirrell is a Hogwarts teacher. there's no way he'll steal what's on the third floor. You best forget about that dog and what he's guarding. That is strickly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel."

"Nicholas Flamel?" Jerry asked.

"I shouldn't have told you. I should not have told you. Blimy. It's getting late. You best be heading back now. Don't wanna miss dinner do you?"

Of course when they left, the six began to think about who this Nicholas Flamel is.
