AN: first off there are a couple of hints of the two boys that Jennifer might be paired with in this chapter. At the moment they are the tow highest in the poll, it is those tow that I have in mind for Jennifer in the first place. He poll is still up if you haven't voted yet. Also, if you vote for other, I want to know who you vote for even if the person is unlikely to end up with Jennifer so please leave a review on the story or pm me. Not that but I also want to know you voted for the boy you picked.

After class was over that Jennifer, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Cooper went to the hospital wing. Thankfully Madam Pomfrey managed to heal Neville's broken wrist easily enough, after Madam Pomfrey allowed a evilly to leave that the six of them walked to the great hall together. When they entered the great hall that they sat down at the Gryffindor Table, just as Jennifer sat down that Malfoy came walking over with a angry look as well as Crabbe and Goyle right behind him. When Malfoy reached her that he spoke.

"You know, Coulson, this might be your last meal here." Jennifer looked at Draco as well Crabbe and Goyle were standing behind him.

"Is it now? I was unaware of that fact, no teacher approached yet and told me that I was kicked out of Hogwarts. How strange. Not that it would be a pain to me to leave or kick out of school, since I would be going back to what I was doing as if I never come here in the first place? Not only that but You're a lot braver now that you two little small friends are standing behind you instead of to the sides or in front of you." Jennifer spoke coolly, Crabbe and Goyle were not small by any means but she was able to handle the with ease. She knew Cooper could take them down just as easily as she could with his hands, they both proved that fact earlier that day. They cracked their knuckles when she said that.

"I'd take you on anytime on my own, if you want. Wizard's duel. Wands only - no contact. What's the matter? Never heard of a wizard's duel before, I suppose?"

"I have but that is utterly pointless, Malfoy. For we won't be able to harm each other. If we are have to duel, than it has to be hand to hand. No wands, not only that but it has to be in front of the whole school." Jennifer glared at Malfoy and Malfoy backed up. "I am taking a guess you don't want to do that." Malfoy glared at her before he walked away with Crabbe and Goyle behind him without saying a word to her. Jennifer merely smiled, she guessed that Malfoy might tried to pull that on her but she knew a way to respond to that.

After dinner that Jennifer went to the library to look up some stuff for one of her essays, Harry and Cooper came along with her as well. While Neville, Hermione and Ginny went to the common room, to no big surprise that Hermione asked Jennifer to bring a couple books for Hermione to look over for an essay. After a couple of hours that they were shooed out but not before Jennifer checked out the books that Hermione wanted. Of course Cooper wanted to try out a couple of spells that they were looking at, so they quickly went to the charms corridor. They spent a couple of hours in the corridor practicing some of those spells as well as some of the spells they already learned. When it was almost curfew that they stopped, Jennifer,r Harry, and scooper were about ready to go to the tower when he heard a voice.

"Sniff around, my sweet, they might be lurking in a corner." Jennifer knew that voice for it was Filch and the three of them were not even close to the common room. Cooper grasp her hand and the three of them ran down the corridor. When they reached the door that Harry pulled at the door.

"This is not good!" Cooper and Harry pounded at the door, Jennifer could hear footsteps coming towards the corridor. Jennifer signed before she spoke.

"You two are wizards for crying out loud. Oh, here." Jennifer managed to get past them before she waved her wand at the lock and spoke. "Alohomora!" Jennifer could hear the lock on the door clicked and the door opened, the three of them went into the room before closing it and pressed their ears against the door. They could hear Filch coming closer before the could hear him talking about of where they could have gone and than his footsteps faded away, as he walked away that Jennifer spoke in a whisper.

"Thankfully, He thinks this door is locked, I think we'll be okay - what is wrong with you, Cooper! You are used to the dark since you spend half of the time in the ... " for some odd reason Cooper was tugged on her sleeve of which was unusual for Cooper to do unless if there was some thing that surprised him. Jennifer turned to face Cooper but than she noticed something out of the corner of her eye and she turned fully around. Jennifer froze, nothing in her life had prepared her for what she was seeing, for starters she wasn't in a room like she ought she was. Instead she was in a corridor the corridor that was forbidden to the students, she understand of why it was forbidden. In the middle of the room was the biggest dog that she ever seen in her life for it fully took up the whole corridor. The dog has three heads and she was sure that they were only alive because the dog was surprised by their appearance. Harry managed to open the door and the three of them went running for it as they ran for it that Jennifer shouted at the other two.

"Tell no open about this, expect for Neville, Ginny and Hermione, deal."

"I am good with that."

"Me too." A few minutes later they were in front of the portrait and yelled pig snout before entering the common room. To their surprise that only Hermione, Ginny and Neville were the only ones in the common room, so Jennifer, Harry and Cooper told them of what just happened. When they finished that Cooper spoke.

"Thinking of it, I barely remembering seeing a trap door under the dog." It was Hermione that spoke up.

"I read in the daily prophet about one of the vaults was broken into but nothing was taking for it was empty earlier that day. Do you think that is what the dog is guarding?" Jennifer shrugged.

"Maybe. I am not going to disregard that. However, I prefer to stay away from there, for I don't want to chose between the dog and Filch again."

When the next flying lesson came around that Harry become the new seeker for the Gryffindor team for he performed a fifty foot dive. Soon enough Halloween came along, that night that a troll was let into the castle, both Jennifer and Cooper made the comment of how stupid it was to be lead back to their common rooms. Of which resulted in all four houses staying in the great hall till the troll was taken care of by the teachers. As November came around that that the weather turned very cold, the mountains around the grounds became icy gray and the lake was like it was chilled steel. Every morning that the grounds around the school was sobered in frost, Hagrid, the grounds keeper, could be seen from the upstairs windows defrosting the broomsticks on the quidditch field. Hagrid was wearing a long moleskin overcoat, rabbit fur gloves and enormous beaver boots, Jennifer wondered where Hagrid got those things from. That was not the only thing for quidditch season started and the first match was on Saturday, Jennifer was a bit nervous about it. For Harry was only a first year students while the rest of the players were from second year and up, she was pretty sure that Harry would be an easier target.

The match was Gryffinor vs Slytherin, of which didn't make Jennifer feel any better, hardly anyone saw Harry play or practice Quidditch since Oliver did his best to keep it quiet. However due to what Harry did in class that the news of Harry playing quidditch spread like wildfire. Jennifer was sure if she was playing Quidditch that it would have spread even faster than wildfire. The day before Harry's first quidditch match that Jennifer, Cooper, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Harry were in the freezing courtyard. Hermione conjured up a bright blue fire that was easily carried in a jam jar, of which was Jennifer was glad of at the moment. The six of them had their backs to the jam jar to get warm ad as some started to cross the courtyard. She noticed that Snape was limping, Jennifer wondered what he has been doing for he hadn't been limping before. When Snape noticed them that they went closer to each other but he walked over to them anyway.

"What's that you've got there, Barton?" Cooper showed him the book, Quidditch through the ages of which Cooper took from the library for Harry. "Library books are not to be taken outside the school. Give it to me. Five points from Gryffindor." As Snape limped away that Cooper muttered.

"He's just made that rule up. Too bad that there are no Vents in the school. I wonder what's wrong with his leg?" Jennifer spoke up.

"Dunno, but I hope it's really hurting him. It is not like we care of what happen to him at any rate. I just hope that he would remain limping and die from it in the worst way possible. If there was vents in Hogwarts that it would be great fun to use them to spy on and prank Snape since it would be so easy to do. Won't it be funny if he was covered in sparkles and bright hot pink." When Jennifer said that, that all six of them started laughing at the thought of what Snape would look like if he was wearing sparkles and bright hot pink.

The Gryffindor common room was very noisy that evening, Jennifer, Cooper Harry, Neville, Ginny and Hermione sat together next to a window. Hermione was looking Harry's and Neville's charms homework and gave them pointers and a couple of books to look over to help improve their essays, Cooper, Ginny and Jennifer already got their charms homework done. It was clear as the night wore on that Harry felt restless about the next day. After a while that Harry decided to get the book back from Snape so he could have to read for the next day. It was when Jennifer and Cooper were talking about some of their comic books that Harry comes back and sat back down, Jennifer looked at him and spoke.

"Well, did you get it? What's the matter?" In a low whisper that Harry told them of what he seen and he finished breathlessly.

"You know what this means? He tried to get past that three-headed dog at Halloween! The one that Cooper, Jennifer and myself brought up when filch was trying to get after U.S. even though it was barely after curfew. He's after whatever it's guarding! And Id bet my broomstick he let that troll in, to make a diversion!" Hermione's eyes went wide.

"No - he wouldn't, I know he's not very nice, but he wouldn't try and steal something Dumbledore was keeping safe."

"Look." Everyone looked at Jennifer, Jennifer didn't like Snape but that doesn't mean that he might be stealing whatever it was. It seems Snape might go after whatever it was but there was no proof besides the limo and the blood to really prove Harry's theory. "I am not sure what Snape is doing or even hat is what he is after. It looks like he might be going after it. But honestly, I think we should figure out first of what the dog is guarding first, before we decided to say Snape is stealing. I wouldn't be surprised if Snape is going to steal this thing, but it's like that old saying, innocent till prove guilty. There are hints that he may try to steal it but we need more proof as well as to know what he is after. But it would help if we keep our eyes open."

The next morning was bright and cold, the great hall was full of delicious smell of fried sausages and cheerful chatter of everyone looking forward to a good quidditch match. Jennifer and Hermione spent half of their time at breakfast trying to get Harry to eat, Jennifer knew if her father was here and she was playing in the match today that he would do the same to her as she was doing to Harry. She knew that Melinda would be doing the same thing even if she was no longer doing any field work for the last couple of years.

"You've got to eat some breakfast."

"I don't want anything." It was Hermione's turn next.

"Just a bit of toast."

"I'm not hungry." Next Seamus spoke up.

"Harry, you need your strength, Seekers are always the ones who get clobbered by the other team."

"Thanks, Seamus." Jennifer looked over at Seamus as he piled Ketchup on his sausages, Jennifer shook her head wondering if his whole family does that. When it was eleven that the whole school went to the stands around the Quidditch pitch. Jennifer, Neville, Hermione, Cooper and Ginny joined Seamus and Dean in the top row of the pitch. As a surprise for Harry that they painted a large banner on one of the sheets that Scabbers ruined. The banner says Potter for President, Dean drew a large Gryffindor Lion underneath the words while Hermione performed a tricky little charm so that the paint flashed different colors. After a while, the two teams came out, Madam Hooch was standing in the middle of the field with her broom in her hand. Jennifer could barely hear Madam Hooch from where she was sitting.

"Now, I want a nice fair game, all of you. Mount your brooms, please." The teams clambered onto their broomsticks before Madam a hooch gave a loud blast on her whistle. Fifteen brooms rose up high into the air and they were off.

"And the Quaffle is taken immediately by Angelina Johnson of Gryffindor - what an excellent Chaser that girl is, and rather attractive, too -"

"JORDAN!"

"Sorry, Professor." Jennifer and Cooper looked at each other and were close of laughing, they both know it was going to be so fun with Lee Jordan doing the commentary. Even if he was being closely watched by Professor McGonagall, Jennifer was already looking forward to other quidditch matches of where Lee Jordan was doing the commentary. "And she's really belting along up there, a neat pass to Alicia Spinnet, a good find of Oliver Wood's, last year only a reserve - back to Johnson and - no, the Slytherins have taken the Quaffle, Slytherin Captain Marcus Flint gains the Quaffle and off he goes - Flint flying like an eagle up there - he's going to sc- no, stopped by an excellent move by Gryffindor Keeper Wood and the Gryffindors take the Quaffle - that's Chaser Katie Bell of Gryffindor there, nice dive around Flint, off up the field and - OUCH - that must have hurt, hit in the back of the head by a Bludger - Quaffle taken by the Slytherins - that's Adrian Pucey speeding off toward the goal posts, but he's blocked by a second Bludger - sent his way by Fred or George Weasley, can't tell which - nice play by the Gryffindor Beater, anyway, and Johnson back in possession of the Quaffle, a clear field ahead and off she goes - she's really flying - dodges a speeding Bludger - the goal posts are ahead - come on, now, Angelina - Keeper Bletchley dives - misses - GRYFFINDORS SCORE!" The Gryffindor cheers filled the cold air but there were howls and moans from the Slytherins.

"Budge up there, move along."

"Hagrid!" All of them had to squeezed together to give Hagrid enough space to join them. "Bin watchin' from me hut." Hagrid was patting a large pair of binoculars around his neck. "But it isn't the same as bein' in the crowd. No sign of the Snitch yet, eh?"

"Nope, Harry hasn't had much to do yet."

"Kept outta trouble, though, that's somethin'." Hagrid raised his binoculars and peering skyward at the speck that was Harry. Jennifer looked up at Harry, she still couldn't help but worry about Harry and how high he was.

"Slytherin in possession, Chaser Pucey ducks two Bludgers, two Weasleys, and Chaser Bell, and speeds toward the - wait a moment - was that the Snitch?" There was a murmur that ran through the crowd as Pucey dropped the quaffle since he looked over his shoulder to look at the flash of gold that went by his ear. Without realizing it that Jennifer grabbed hold of Cooper's hand and squeezed as Harry dove down to the flash of gold. The other seeker followed suit so that Harry and the other seeker were hurtling towards the snitch. All of the chasers seem to forget of where they were suppose to be doing as they watched the two seekers. Harry was faster than the other seeker and when Harry went to grabbed it that flint black Harry on purpose no less. Harry's broom spun off course and there was a roar of rage from the gryffinors, it was during that, that she heard Cooper spoke.

"Jennifer, do you mind?" She looked done and noticed she was squeezing his hand and let go of his hand. Jennifer blushed slightly before looking away as Dean started to yell after the foul and free shot was called.

"Send him off, ref! Red card!" Ginny looked at him before Ginny spoke.

"What are you talking about, Dean?"

"Red card! In soccer you get shown the red card and you're out of the game!"

"But this isn't soccer, Dean."

"They oughta change the rules. Flint coulda knocked Harry outta the air." Jennifer rolled her eyes, she has some doubts the rules of Quidditch would change any time soon. As Jennifer list e to the commentary that she noticed that Lee Jordan was finding it hard not to take sides.

"So - after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating"

"Jordan!"

"I mean, after that open and revolting foul."

"Jordan, I'm warning you -"

"All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure, so a penalty to Gryffindor, taken by Spinner, who puts it away, no trouble, and we continue play, Gryffindor still in possession. Slytherin in possession - Flint with the Quaffle - passes Spinnet - passes Bell - hit hard in the face by a Bludger, hope it broke his nose - only joking, Professor - Slytherins score - A no..." Jennifer were cheering but she was no longer looking at the game but up at Harry since his brook was acting up. It seems that more people were noticing Harry when Jennifer pointed Harry out to her friends.

"Dunno what Harry thinks he's doing. If I didn' know better, I'd say he'd lost control of his broom... but he can't have..." Suddenly everyone was pointing up at Harry, as Hagrid trailed off from what he was saying, from all of the stands. His broomstick started to roll over and over with Harry barely managing to hold on, everyone gasp. Jennifer grabbed hold of Cooper's arm as Harry's broom gave a wild jerk, Harry swung off of it so that he was dangling from it, holding on e broom with only one hand.

"Did something happen to it when Flint blocked him?"

"Can't have. Can't nothing interfere with a broomstick except powerful Dark magic - no kid could do that to a Nimbus Two Thousand." At those words that Hermione seized Hagrid's Binoculars, instead of looking up at Harry that she was looking frantically at the crowd. Jennifer looked at Hermione spoke.

"What are you doing?"

"I knew it. Snape - look." Jennifer let go of Cooper's arm and grabbed the binoculars from a Hermione and looked through at Snape. Snape was in the middle of the stands opposite them, his eyes were fixed on Harry and was muttering nonstop under his breath.

"He's doing something - jinxing the broom."

"What should we do?"

"Leave it to me." Before Jennifer could say anything that Hermione disappeared, Jennifer looked back up at Harry using the binoculars. Jennifer winced as the broom started to vibrate harder, so that it was nearly impossible for Harry to hang on much longer. The whole crowd was on it's feet, watching and terrified, the Weasley twins flew up to try to pull Harry on one of their brooms but the broom jumped higher. So the Weasley twins dropped lower and started to circle beneath him, hoping to catch him if he fell. No one even noticed that Flint seized the quaffle and scored five times, like as if anyone really cared at the moment.

"Come on, Hermione." As soon as Jennifer said that, that the broom stopped going higher and become still, so Harry managed clambered back onto his broom. Hermione came back shortly after Harry got back on his broom. It was than that Jennifer looked at Neville of who been sobbing into Hagrid's jacket for the last five minutes. Jennifer spoke softly to Neville.

"Neville, you can look!" Jennifer looked back to the match just as Harry was speeding towards the ground when he clap his hand to his mouth as though he was about to be sick. After what just happen that Jennifer couldn't blame him for being sick, Harry suddenly slid off of his broom. Harry managed to hit the field on all fours before he coughed a couple of times before something gold fell into his hand. Jennifer smiled as Harry held the snitch up and waved the snitch before he shouted.

"I've got the Snitch!"
