Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something, please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.

...Now On with the show..

Last Time:

"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.

Harry, Lilly, and Draco got up and started for the Great hall door's, only for Gordric, Ron, and Hermione to bee there.
"All set to go back to the Muggles?" Came Ron's snearing voice, Gordric looked smug. he knew what they'd have to deal with once back there.
"A lot braver now that you're back on the ground and you've got your little freinds with you.."
Harry Said Coolly. He watched in amusement as Ron's face flared red and his twin glared at him.
of course Gordric didn't really scare him, no it was Vernon who scared Harry, Vernon and the dark. he shook his head clearing away memory's or at least peice's of them so he could concentrate.
"I'd take you on anytime on my own," Said Weasley. "Tonight, if you want. Wizard's duel. Wands only - no contact. What's the matter? Never heard of a wizard's duel before, I suppose?"
Harry Glared at the other, Green eye's burning into Ron's own brown. hand's almost fisting at his side.
"Of course he has," said Draco in his most your not worthy to lick my boots tone of voice. "Im his second, who's yours?"
Harry watched as Weasley lost some of his color but blusterd on. "Gordric.." Harry heard Lilly snicker. "Midnight all right? We'll meet you in the trophy room; that's alway's unlocked."
Harry turned to Draco once Weasley was gone. "What's Wizard's Duel?"
He saw Lilly nodding out of the side of his eye.
"and what do you mean, you're my second?"
Draco took a calming breath. and started explaining. Well, a second's there to take over if you die," Draco's casual tone did not go over well with the twins. not at all. "But people only die in proper duels, you know, with real wizards. The most you and Weasley would be able to do is send sparks at each other. Nethir of you knows enough magic to do any real damage. I bet he expected you to refuse, anyways." Harry stared at him then said calmly.
"Your barking, and I would of turned him down thank you very much." Draco just raised an eyebrow. "Who said we're gonna meat them, we'll be safe and sound in our Common room when they get found by Filch."

Lilly stared at Draco. "Your nuts. I love you like another sibling, but your nuts."
Draco raised an eyebrow. "And why am I so nuts?" Lilly's smile was evil. "Becuase I wanna see their face's when we're not their." Harry's surprised laughter warmed Lilly's heart.
"You want to see..them get caught by Filch and Ms.Norris?" Draco's voice was amused.
"Well yeah, cause it'd be fun." was Lilly's prompt reply, Harry nodding with her. "Are you two sure your Slytherin's? and not Gryffindors?"
Lilly stared at Draco while Harry huffed. "That's an insult.." her twin mutterd. and Draco looked a bit embaressed about saying it out loud.
"No We're not supposed to be in Gryffindor..their a bunch of brat's.."
Harry chuckled at her Tone of voice, one of high class scorn.
"We're Slytherin's and damn proud of it."
they all went their seperate way's as they headed to classes, Lilly absently glanceing around, she still got excited over everything new. of course then she noticed they where in a dusty hallway and got a sinking feeling. "Uhh oh.."
Harry nodded. "I think the Stair's switched to fast we should go back.."
Just then the sound of Ms.Norris's Soft hiss had them both darting down the hall, around a corner and into a doorway.. where they didn't notice the Large animal behind them.
Air hit the back of Lilly's head, and she frowned and turned around, and froze. her eye's going wide..
"H..h..h..ha..harry.."
Harry glanced at her. "What's wrong Lilly??"
Then he turned and saw what she was stareing at. Standing above him was a three headed dog.
a big giant dog. Lilly swallowed as she grabed her brother's hand, and with a jerk she had the door back open dragging Harry out with her as she slamned it in the thing's face.
the two of them raced back to the Slytherin common room.
"What do they think they're doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school.."
Harry's voice was shakie as he spoke, just then Draco enterd the common room.
"What's going on??" Harry Spoke up. "The Third-Floor Corridor on the right-hand side."
Lilly watched as Draco stared at the two of them. Silver eye's wide. "Your telling me.." his voice was uncertian then. "Your telling me you went to the third floor corridor?" his voice was sharp as he spoke.

Harry shudderd as he took a deep breath, Finely calming down after his near scare.
"Your kidding.." Draco's voice was uncertian.
"No there's a huge dog in the third floor corridor." Harry explained. shifting so he could rub his sister's back. which had barely there shiver's, he wouldn't of even knowen if he hadn't been touching her back.
"Shh your safe.." Harry murmerd pulling Lilly in close against his side. Green eye's flicking around the room as he tried to decide what to do.
If the dog was there, it would mean it had to be gaurding something. but what?
Suddenly Lilly spoke up. "It's gaurding a Trapdoor." her voice was a bit more steady. "It's obviously guarding something."
Harry suddenly spoke up again. "Hagrid said something when he took us to Gringotts, remember, Gringotts was, or is the safest place in the world for something you wanted to hide - except perhaps hogwarts. he emptied vault seven hundred and thirteen the day we went to get some money from our parents vaults."
Lilly blinked and then. "Ohh that Grubby little package he picked up."
The three of them begain reading thing's, eye's scanning for anything about a small package, about the size of one's palm.. now though it was the hard part.
Finding out what had been in said package that matterd.

Halloween

Potions Class had become both Lilly's and Harry's favorite class, and the one they where most suited for.
The Twin's watched their brother worriedly, uncertian on what to do, Gordric had been far to quite,
very, very, worrieing.
That morning at Breakfeast, like every Breakfeast, The screech of owls sounded as they flooded the great hall. Everyone's attention was caught at once by a long, thin package carried by six large screech owls.
Harry was just as interested as everyone else to see what was in this large parcel, and was amazed when the owls soared down and dropped it right infront of him, knocking his bacon to the floor.
They had hardly flutterd out of the way when another owl dropped a letter on top of the parcel.
Harry ripped open the letter first, which was lucky, because it said:

DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE.
It contains your new Nimbus Two Thousand, but I don't want everybody knowing you've got a broomstick or thy'll all want one.
Marcus Flint will meet you tonight on the Quidditch field at seven o'clock for your first training sesion.

Professor S. Snape

Harry had difficulty hiding his glee as he handed the note to Draco to read.
"A Nimbus Two Thousand!" Draco gave a smile. "Father got me one of those, but I wasn't able to bring it with me, we'll be able to go flying together.
They left the hall quickly, wanting to unwrap the broomstick in private before their first class,
but halfway across the entrance hall, they found the way downstairs to the dungeon blocked by Gordric, Weasley and Granger.
Gordric seized the package from harry and felt it.
"That's a broomstick," he said, throwing it back to Harry with a mixture of jealousy and spite on his face.
"You'll be in for it this time, Potter, first years aren't allowed them."
Draco couldn't resist it.
"It's not any old broomstick," he said, "it's a Nimbus Two Thousand. What did you say you've got at home, Weasley, one of your brother's old brooms?"
"What would you know about it, Malfoy..." Just then Professor Flitwick appeared at Weasley's elbow.
"Not arguing, I hope, boys?" he squeaked.
"Potter's been sent a broomstick, Professor." Weasley said quickly.
"Professor Snape told me all about the special circumstances, Potter. And what model is it?"
"A Nimbus Two Thousand, sir." said Harry, fighting not to laugh at the look of horror on Weasley's face. "And it's really thanks to Weasley here that I've got it." he added.
Harry, Lilly, and Draco headed down the stairs, smothering their laughter at Weasley's obvious rage and confusion.
"Well, it's true," Harry Chortled as they reached the bottom of the marble staircase, "if he hadn't stolen Lilly's Diary I wouldn't be on the team.."
Harry had a lot of trouble keeping his mind on his lessons that day.
It kept wandering up to the dormitory where his new broomstick was laying under his bed, or straying off tot he Quidditch feild where he'd be learning to play that night.
It took Draco and Lilly pinching him to get him to pay attention.
And of course what alway's happend when you wanted the day to hurry up, it seemed to take forever.
Finely dinner came and Harry almost bolted his food, or would of if Lilly and Draco hadn't kept pinching him again. "Slow down, you'll end up being sick if you eat that fast."
Lilly scolded, and Harry slowly did as asked.
Finely, when Lilly had decided he'd eaten enough, and after a few teasing Yes mother's before she let him leave the table. His sister right behind him, headed back to their room.
Once there Harry carefully untied the paper's wraped around the Nimbus Two Thousand, the wood Gleamed in the candle light, almost as if it where alive.
and Harry couldn't wait to mount up and fly.
Lilly's smile told him she couldn't wait ethir, they both started fort he Pitch to meet Flint, Draco remaind behind to do his school work.
Harry and Lilly both reached the Quidditch feild and studied the lay out, then Harry mounted his broomstick, settleing so he was comfortable and shoved off of the ground.
he soon lost himself in the pure joy of flying, barely aware of anything else as he moved in complex feint's and spin's. Twist and turns.

+++++++++++++++

Lilly watched as her brother moved above her in the air. her Green eye's sparkled. soon someone else joined her. "Hello Flint.." she murmerd quitely.
Lilly had never been inside the Quidditch feild stadium before, Hundreds of seats were raised in stands around the feild so that the spectators were high enough to see what was going on.
At ethir end of the field were three golden poles with hoops on the end.
They reminded Lilly of the little plastic sticks muggle children blew bubbles through, except that they were fifty feet high.
After a few moments of watching her brother fly, Flint called up.
"Hey, Potter, come down!"
Marcus Flint stood next to her, his face in a slight frown but otherwise he didn't seem to surprised.
Harry went into a straight dive, directly for the pitch, but before he would of slamned into the ground he twisted upwards, body moveing sideway's and broom seeming to be inch's from the dirt before they came to a stop, floating inch's from Flint. Lilly giggled slightly. "Show off."
Her brother gave her a smirk. Flint waved his hand's. "Okay listen up lesson time." they both nodded and faced him waiting for the information he was going to give.
"Right." Said flint, a smirk graceing his features. "Now, Quidditch is easy enough to understand, even if it's not too easy to play. There are seven players on each side, three of them are called chasers." Both Lilly and Harry nodded.

"Three Chasers," Harry repeated, as Flint took out a bright red ball about the size of a soccer ball.
"This ball's called the Quaffle," said Flint. " The Chasers throw the Quaffle to each other and try and get it through one of the hoops to score a goal. Ten points every time the Quaffle goes through one of the hoops. Follow me?" Both twins nodded.
"The Chasers throw the Quaffle and put it through the hoops to score," Harry recited. Lilly echoing him. "So - that's sort of like basketball on broomsticks with six hoops, isn't it?"
"What's basketball?" said Flint Curiously.
"Never Mind." said Harry quickly.
"Now, there's another player on each side who's called the Keepr- I'm Keeper for Slytherin. I have to fly around our hoops and stop the other team from scoring."
both twins nodded and recited in return together. "Three Chasers, one Keeper." the other gave them a look as their voice's blended makeing it seem like there was a slight echo. "And they play with the Quaffle. Okay got that. so what are they for?" He pointed at the three balls left inside the box.
"I'll show you now." Flint said. "Take this."
He handed Harry a small club, a bit like a short baseball bat. and waved Lilly back away from where the two of them.
"I'm going to show you what the Bludgers do," Flint said. "These two are the Bludgers."
He showed Harry two identical balls, jet black and slightly smaller than the red Quaffle.
Harry noticed that they seemed to be straining to escape the straps holding them inside the box.
"Stand back," Flint warned Harry. He bent down and freed one of the Bludgers.
At once, the black ball rose high in the air and then pelted straight at Harry's face.
Harry swung at it with the bat to stop it from breaking his nose, and sent it Zigzagging away into the air - it zoomed around their heads and then shot at Flint, who dived on top of it and managed to pin it to the ground.
"See?" Flint panted, forcing hte struggleing Bludger back into the crate and strapping it down safely.
"The Bludgers rocket around, trying to knock players off their brooms. That's why you have two Beaters on each team, it's their job to protect their side from the Bludgers and try and knock them toward the other team. So - think you've got all that?"
The twins responded at the same time. "Three Chasers try and score with the Quaffle; the Keeper gaurds the goal posts; the Beaters keep the Bludgers away from their team." Flint nodded.
"Very Good."
"Er - have the Bludgers ever killed anyone?" Harry asked, hoping he sounded offhand.
"Never at Hogwarts. We've had a couple of broken jaws but nothing worse than that. Now, the last member of the team is the Seeker." here he grinned, and it was almost wolfish. "That's y ou. And you don't have to worry about the Quaffle or the Bludgers-"
"-unless they crack my head open." Harry mutterd, Lilly elbowed him in the side, wanting to hear the rest.
"Don't worry, the Beaters are more than a match for the Bludgers- I mean, Thy're like a pair of human Bludgers themselves."
Harry highly doubted that but held his peace. thinking better of it considering Lilly might just hex him if he didn't shut up.
Flint reached into the crate and took out the fourth and last ball.
Compared with the Quaffle and the Bludgers, it was tiny, about the size of a large walnut. It was bright gold and had little fluttering silver wings.
"This," said flint. "is the Golden Snitch, and it's the most important ball of the lot. It's very hard to catch because it's so fast and difficult to see.It's the Seeker's job to catch it. You've got to weave in and out of the Chasers, Beaters, Bludgers, and Quaffle to get it before the other team's Seeker, because whichever Seeker catches the Snitch wins his team an extra hundred and fifty points, so they nearly always win. That's why Seekers get fouled so much. A game of Quidditch only ends when the snitch is caught. so it can go on for ages - I think the record is three months, they had to keep bringing on substitutes so the players could get some sleep." He paused to take in Harry's and Lilly's faces. "Well, that's it - any questions."
Both Harry and Lilly shook their heads. They understood what he had to do all right, and Harry wasn't to sure Lilly would let him, but it was doing it that was going to be the problem in Harry's eye's. Not the Chasers, Beaters, Bludgers or even Quaffles. it was catching a tiny little god snitch.
"We won't practice with the Snitch yet," said Flint, carefully shutting it back inside the crate. "It's to dark, we might lose it. Let's try you out with a few of these."
Flint pulled a bag of ordinary golf balls out of his pocket and a few minutes later, he and Harry were up in the air, Flint throwing the golf balls as hard as he could in every directiong for Harry to catch.
Harry didn't miss a single one, and Flint was delighted.
After half an hour, with Flint, to Harry's surprise alternated between him and his sister, which also delighted Flint, because Lilly was just as good as he was, to Flint's intense joy.
After half an hour, night had really fallen and they couldn't carry on.
"That Quidditch cup'll have our name on it this year." Said flint happily as they trudged back to the castle. "I wouldn't be surprised if you turn out better then Charlie Weasley, and he could have played for England if he hadn't gone off chasing dragons."
