I'm looking for a beta to read through my writing before I post it. I want someone who can edit grammar mistakes and also someone who can give me their ideas and input. Leave me a message if you're interested.
I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Two
Harry, Ron and Hermione walked to the Quidditch Pitch. They sat in what was the Gryffindor section of the Quidditch bleachers. The students were dressed in maroon and gold robes. They chatted happily.
Harry, Ron and Hermione didn't speak to anyone. They tried to keep to themselves.
There were two teams flying in the air. It was the Ravenclaw team against the Gryffindor team.
The Quidditch match began a few minutes later. The referee blew his whistle and the players rose from the ground straight-up into the sky.
Harry scanned the different members of the opposing teams. He was trying to find someone that looked similar to himself.
"There," said Ron after a while. "He's the lead chaser on the Gryffindor side. He even has the same glasses like you."
Harry searched the skies. He found him.
It was true. The chaser had dark brown hair, glasses and a serious expression. His face was stockier than Harry's face.
He still looked like Harry though.
"I don't see a scar," noted Harry.
"He didn't stop You-Know-Who in this world," said Hermione quietly.
"Right," said Harry.
The Hufflepuff team played superbly. They passed the ball to one another in fluid motions. The Hufflepuff team members acted in perfect sync with each other.
When the score was 150-50 (with Hufflepuff leading) Harry noticed something. Harry's counterpart was high-up in the air. His broom shook wildly. His counterpart bucked left-and-right. It was like the broom wanted to throw him off.
"Harry, do you see what's going on?" asked Hermione.
"It's a jinx," said Ron. "It's like what happened to Harry in his first Quidditch match."
"Damn," said Harry. "You're right. Come on... wands out. We need to help him."
Harry, Ron and Hermione chanted a counter-curse under each of their breaths. The other-Harry's broom shook less, but it still moved wildly in the air.
Suddenly, Harry, Ron and Hermione felt something. A strong force gripped them. The three Gryffindors let out a gigantic breath-of-air. They couldn't say the counter-curse anymore.
In the few seconds that the force affected them the other-Harry's broom began to shake harder.
"Whoa, what was that?" asked Ron.
"I don't know," said Harry.
"If we don't do something the other-Harry is going to fall off of his broom," said Hermione.
"He might not have as much good luck as you do," added Ron.
"Come on," said Harry. "I see him."
Harry rushed away. Ron and Hermione went after him.
"Who did he see?" asked Ron.
"I think he saw the person who is doing this," said Hermione.
"What's he going to do?" said Ron.
"Fire," called back Harry from up-ahead.
The Quidditch match ended swiftly. The students gathered in the Great Hall. They whispered to one another urgently.
"What happened to Harry?" someone asked.
"He could have died," continued another person.
Harry, Ron and Hermione stood in the corner of the room. They listened silently.
"Who's robes did you set on fire?" asked Harry after some time.
"I did it to Vector," said Hermione softly.
"I did it to Slughorn," answered Ron.
"What about you, Harry?" asked Hermione.
"I did it to Snape," said Harry.
"Which one do you think did it?" asked Hermione.
"Who knows?" said Harry. "We could have done something unexpected that may have tripped up the person who did it, too... like last time."
"Great," said Ron. "Someone wants to kill Harry Potter."
Harry rolled his eyes. "What else is new?"
