...Now On with the show..
Last Time:
Thing's
didn't improve for Gryffindors but Harry and Lilly where haveing a
blast.
Neville longbottm somehow messed up the potion he and
Gordric where
working on and they both ended up dosed in the
potion they where doing,
and Harry had had to bit his lip hard
not to laugh to hard. his rib's actully
protested the laughter
but not enough to make him stop.
Lilly and Harry's potion was one
of only a handfull of potions that got
bottled up for The medical
ward
The
next morning Harry sat next to Draco at the table with Lilly on his
other side, Draco had again, found them under harry's bed,
and
had said why didn't they just as the house elf's to put a matress
there and remove the bed frames?
they'd answered because
then we wouldn't have something gaurding our top.
the other boy had just shaken his head.
Harry glanced around and
then his eye's snapped back to the Daily Prophet's title.
Gringotts Break-In Latest
Harry
for a moment didn't know what to do then calmly asked Draco if he was
through with the Paper..
the blond had given him a strange look
but gladly handed it over to let him and his sister
read.
Investigations
continue into the break-in at
Gringotts on 31 July,Widely
believed to be the work of
Dark wizards or witches
unknown.
Gringotts goblins today insisted that nothing had been
taken.
The vault that was searched had in fact been emptied the
same day.
"But we're not telling you what was in there,
so
keep your noses out if you know what's good
for you." said a
Gringotts spokesgoblin this afternoon.
They
both stared at it. "Wasn't that the Vault Hagrid emptied?"
Lilly spoke in a near whisper to him and he nodded.
They'd
fallowed the large giant into the bank to withdraw some money, and at
the time had been told that Goblin's spoke english and their own form
of language.
They'd just been happy they had money.
Even
happier that Hagrid hadn't brought their Savior
of a brother along.
a sudden sharp pain through his forehead had
harry hissing and ducking his head to press his hand against the scar
that gave their brother fame..
he dimly heard Lilly copying and
knew he wasn't the only one..
Draco's worried voice forced him to
raise his head. "It's nothing just..just a sharp pain. already
going away see?"
he forced himself not to wince as another
bolt of pain tore through him.. one hand going under the table to
grip his twins.
Draco gave them both weird Looks before shakeing
his head. "You two sure your okay?" Lilly answered. "Yep,
right.." Harry Finished. "..as rain."
Flying
lesson's begain that day, Much to Harry's disgust. Though he did want
to learn, a lot, that didn't mean he would. especialy because it was
with Gryffindor. meaning his brother would be there.
"Great
just what I wanted, to make a fool of myself infront of Gordric. the
idiot would probably take ten minute's just to come up with an
insult.." he mutterd sourly. His twin wasn't much better she
kept sending dark looks at Gryffindor table.
"You don't know
that you'll make a fool of yourself," said Draco. "Anyway,
I know Weasley's always going on about how good he is at Quidditch,
but I bet that's all talk." Draco said comfortingly. "and
Im sure your brother's probably worse then the Weasel.."
Harry
nodded, as they passed the Gryffindor table, Harry and Lilly on the
outer edges of the walkway, Draco Snatched some type of glass ball up
from Neville. which had Gordric and his two Sidekick's
jumping up.
Just then Professor McGonagall, who could spot trouble
quicker than any teacher in the school it seemed, was there in a
flash.
"What's going on?"
"Malfoy's got my
Remembrall, Professor."
Scowling at the professor, Draco
quickly droped the Remembrall back on the table.
"Just
looking." he said and the three of them walked away.
At
three-thirty that afternoon The Slytherin's Made it down the school's
lawns to where the first flying lesson's where to be, The Gryffindors
were already there, and so were twenty broomsticks lying in neat
lines on the ground.
Harry had heard Flint complain about the
school brooms, saying that some of them started to vibrate if you
flew to high,
or always flew slightly to the left. or both.
Their
teacher, Madam Hooch, arrived. She ha short, gray hair, and yellow
eyes like a hawk.
"Well, what are you all waiting for?"
she barked. "Everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry
up."
Harry glanced down at his broom. It was old and some of
the twigs stuck out at odd angles. makeing him a little uncertian of
it's flying ability's but he wasn't about to complain.
"Stick
out your right hand over your broom," called Madam Hooch at the
front. "and say 'Up!'"
"UP!"
everyone
shouted.
Harry's broom jumped into his hand at once, but it was
one of the few that did. Hermione Granger's had simply rolled over on
the ground. and Neville's hadn't moved at all.
Perhaps
brooms, like horses, could tell when you were afraid,
thought Harry;
there was a quaver in Neville's voice that said
only to clearly that he wanted to keep his feet on the ground.
Madam
Hooch then showed them how to mount their brooms without slideing off
the end, and walked up and down the rows correcting their
grips.
Draco, Harry, and Lilly where delighted when she told
Weasley he'd been doing it wrong for years.
"Now, when I blow
my whistle, you kick off from the ground, hard,"
said Madam
Hooch.
"Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet, and then
come straight back down by leaning forward slightly." Harry
absently nodded to himself.
"On my whistle-three-two-"
But Neville, nervous and jumpy and frightened of being left on the
ground, pushed off hard before the whistle had touched Madam Hooch's
lips.
"Come back, boy!" she shouted, but Neville was
riseing straight up like a cork shot out of a bottle-twelve
feet-twenty feet. Harry saw his scared white face look down at the
ground falling away, saw him gasp and start to slip and reacted on
instinct,
shoveing off of the ground he shot straight up toward's
Neville and caught the boy before he could go further off of his
broom, Green eye's almost wide..
"Got you, come on Nevill get
on my broom.." he said softly trying to calm the scared boy
down, it took some work but he got Neville onto his broom and had a
small chace to grab the boy's broom himself. then takeing Madam
Hooch's advice he tiped forward slightly, one arm firmly around
Neville's waist and lowerd them back down to the ground, breathing
slightly heavily. as they landed he saw Draco's gob smacked
face,
Lilly's happyness in her brother's good deed, the
Gryffindor's where livid, and he heard his brother complaining that
he had been going
to do that.
but ignored him, to worried about makeing sure Neville
was okay. once he was sure the boy hadn't harmed himself some how he
turned to face Madam Hooch, uncertian if he was in trouble or
not.
"Twenty Points to Slytherin, for saveing me a lot of
bother with an injured student." was all she said before
snapping. "Well..Line up again you lot."
Just then an
owl flew down to Madam Hooch with a letter and after reading it She
spoke up.
"Right then, None of you is to move while I take
this fire call. You leave those brooms where they are or you'll be
out of Hogwarts before you can say 'Quidditch.' " With that she
turned and made her way back toward's the School.
No sooner wee
they out of earshot when Gordric turned to face Harry.
"You
know, you probably cursed Neville's broom to rise that fast.."
was the nastyly spat words.
causeing Harry's face to go pale. and
his hands to fist.
Just then Weasel lunged forward and snagged a
small book Lilly had brought with her but had secured in her robs
pocket. "Ohh what's this Potter..a Diary.. hmm?" he tried
to open it but the book refused to open, Lilly lunged to grab her
book.. only for Weasley to dart back and.
"Think I should
leave it somewhere for you to find-How about - up a tree?"
"Give
it here!"
Harry yelled, but Weasley had lept onto his broomstick and taken
off.
Weasley hadn't been lying, he could
fly well. Hovering level with the topmost branches of an oak he
called out, "Come and get it, Potter!"
Harry grabbed his
broom. only to have lilly grab his arm.
"No!"
Shouted his sister, her green eye's large behind their glasses.
"Madam Hooch told us not to move-you'll get us all into
trouble."
Harry ignored her. Blood was pounding in his ears.
He mounted the broom and kicked hard against the ground and up, up he
soared; air rushed through his hair, and his roabes whipped out
behind him- and in a rush of fierce joy he relized he'd found
something he could do without being taught- this was easy, this was
wonderful.
He
pulled his broomstick up a little to take it even higher, and heard
screams and gasps of girls back on the ground and an admiring whoop
from Draco.
He turned his broomstick sharply to face Weasley in
midair. Weasley looked stunned.
"Give it here," Harry
called. "or I'll knock you off that broom!"
"Oh,
yeah?" said Weasley, trying to sneer, but only looking
worried.
He couldn't
sneer if his life depended on it..
Harry mentaly mutterd, he'd seen Crabbe and Goyle sneer better then
Weasley and that was saying something.
Harry knew, somehow, what
to do. He leaned forward and grasped the broom tightly in both hands,
and it shot toward Weasley like a javlin.
Weasley only just got
out of the way in time.
Harry made a sharp about-face and held the
broom steady. A few people below were clapping.
"No Gordric
and Hermione up here to save your neck, Weasley. Now give me my
sister's book back or we'll see what you look like as a pancake on
the ground."
Weasley Seemed to tense and suddenly. "Catch
it if you can, then!" he shouted, and threw the book high into
the air and streaked back toward the ground.
Harry saw, as though
in slow motion, the book rise up in the air and then start to fall.
He leaned forward and pointed his broom handle down-next second he
was gathering up speed in a steep dive, raceing the book-wind
whistled in his ears, mingled with the screams of people watching- He
streatched out his hand- a foot from the ground he caught it, just in
time to pull his broom straight, and he toppled gently onto the grass
with Lilly's book clutched safely in his hand.
"HARRY
POTTER!"
Harry's
head snapped up and he looked over to see Madam Hooch was back, and
to him anyways, she looked livid.
"Never-in
all my time at Hogwarts-"
Madam Hooch was almost speechless
with shock, and her hawk gold eye's flashed furiously.
"-how
dare
you-might have broken your neck-"
"It wasn't his fault,
Professor-"
"Be quite, Miss Parkinson-"
"But
Weasley-"
"That's enough,
Mr.Malfoy. Potter, follow me, now."
Harry handed Lilly her
book back with a hug, and started to fallow, but the girl refused to
leave his side, and Madam Hooch didn't seem to care, it took a
moment,
but harry relized, she wasn't angery, she was excited. he
frowned. but she had sure sounded angery. just like uncle Vernon
before the bad thing's had started to happen.
Lilly
fallowed her brother and Madam Hooch uncertiantly as they walked at a
fast trot back toward's the school.
What would the Dursley's say
when her brother, and herself considering she owuld not leave Harry
to face them alone, showed up on the doorstep?
Up the front steps,
up the marble staircase inside, and still Madam Hooch didn't say a
word to him. She wrenched open doors and marched along corridors with
Lilly and Harry trotting miserably behind her.
Maybe she was
takeing them to Dumbledore. Lilly wonderd if maybe they could talk
him into letting her brother stay, because if he left, Lilly would
leave.
Please,
Please let him understand, he was just trying to save my book, it
wasn't his fault.
she
mentaly begged any diety that would listen.
She thought of the how
the gamekeeper was expelled, but he was allowed to stay on. Perhaps
he could they could be Hagrid's assistant.
her stomach droped at
that, imagineing it.
watching Draco and the others becomeing
wizards while her and her brother stumped around the grounds carrying
Hagrid's bag.
Professor McGonagall stopped outside a classroom.
She opend the door and poked her head inside.
"Excuse me,
Professor Flitwick, could I borrow Flint for a moment?"
Flint?
Thought Lilly, bewildered; but what did Flint have to do with it?
Flint turned out to be a burly fifth-year boy who came out of
flitwick's class looking as confused as Lilly and Harry felt.
"Fallow
me, you three." Said Madam Hooch, and they all marched on down
the corridor, Flint looking curiously at Harry and Lilly. soon they
reached a door Lilly and Harry knew very well,
as Professor
Snape's class room. she knocked on the door again and pushed it open.
revealing Professor snape in the middle of a class. "Professor
could I speak to you a moment?"
the snarky man stalked out,
saw the twin's and seemed to resign himself with a What
now look.
Madam
Hooch fallowed him down to a Office where, once all three student's
where in she shut the door then. "I found you a seeker.."
Snape
and Flint both looked at the twins and she waved her hand. "The
boy, the girl just refused to let him out of her sight." at
which Lilly snapped. "I thought you were Expelling him, I wasn't
about to let my Brother leave here without me. th.." she slapped
a hand over her mouth. haveing been about to say Thing's
happen to us when we're not with each other.
the other three cast her odd looks but Harry just pulled her in
agianst his side and they watched the other three.
"Yes well,
He caught a book after a fifty foot dive, and came out of it without
a single scratch on him."
Flint was now looking as though all
his dreams had come true at once.
"Ever seen a game of
Quidditch, Potter?" he asked Excitedly.
"Flint's Captain
of the Slytherin team." Madam Hooch explained.
"He's
just the build for a seeker, too." said Flint, now walking
around Harry and Lilly staring at him. "Light- speedy- we'll
have to get him a decent broom, Professor's- a Nimbus Two Thousand or
a Cleansweep Seven, I'd say."
Lilly Moved if anything even
closer to her twin as he felt him tense at the way Flint was studying
him, absently moveing so she was at his back, just in case. she
doubted Flint would try seeing him without clothes but her twin was
highly fearfull of anyone seeing the marks on his back.
"I
shall speak to Professor Dumbledore and see if we can't bend the
first-year rule. Heaven knows, we need a better team then last year.
Flattened
in the last match by Gryffindor, I couldn't look at Minerva
McGonagall's face for weeks..." came Professor Snape's voice.
"I
want to hear you're training hard, Potter, or I may change my mind
about punishing you." Madam Hooch said calmly.
Then she
suddenly smiled.
"Your father would have been proud,"
she said. "He was an excellent Quidditch player
himself."
"You're jokeing."
It
was dinnertime. and Harry had just finished telling Draco what had
happend when he'd left the grounds with Madam Hooch.
"Seeker?"
he said. "But first years never
- you must be the youngest house player in about-"
"-a
centry." Said Harry. "Flint told me." Draco just sat
there and Lilly finely poked him to see if he was still
alive.
Shakeing her head she mutterd. "It's not like it's a
big deal.." Just then Bole and Derrick came into the great hall
and made their way straight toward's Harry and Lilly. "Flint
just told us what's what.." Derrick murmerd. "We think it's
bloody great, though you should of let the Gryffindork fall.. but
everyone has a soft point.." added Bole. "Anyways you'll
start Training Next week, Professor Snape's cleared the pitch for
Monday.." they both clapped him on the back. "Heard from
Flint and Professor Snape that Madam Hooch was so excited she was
nearly Vibrateing. so you must be good." then they turned and
left. and Lilly couldn't hold it in any more she laughed.
"Ohh
Diety, this is gonna be a blast.." she giggled.
