An: I know it has been a while and I am extremely sorry and grateful to those who have stayed with me I appreciate it. It would be appreciated if you don't ruin my story with you logic… darn logic makes everything harder, but this doesn't mean I don't want you to tell me when something is wrong. I will try to fix it but some things I can't. Remember I don't own Harry Potter and I am looking for a beta. Read, Review, Thx, and Enjoy!- Gracie.
As it was November the air was cold and the morning of the Quidditch match the grass was covered in frost. The Gryffindor quidditch players nervously ate breakfast in the Great Hall.
Harry and Hermione sat beside on another with Harleigh straight across from them. Their relationship only grew since the events of all hallows' eve (Halloween). Harleigh no longer gets teased about being a mute but now gets teased about being a bookworm alongside Hermione, Harry of course stands up for his two best friends.
"You two should eat something," Hermione said looking worriedly at the two noobie Quidditch players.
"Not hungry," Harry grumbled pushing the bit of scramble eggs around his untouched plate of food.
"Same," Harleigh agreed not even looking up from the copy of Quidditch Through the Ages Hermione lent her.
"But you guys have to eat something before your game," Hermione begged before taking a bite of her bacon.
"Yeah you guys might want to get up your strength you're going to need it to face Slytherin," Ron said smirking at the nervous Gryffindors, "Because when Slytherin wins and they will, they will be in second place for the cup while Gryffindor will not."
"Sure buddy, think what you want because Slytherin will not win if I have something to do about it," Harleigh said standing up from her seat to make herself look big.
"Yeah I am so scared of you, you are nothing but a stupid Gryffindor that was too scared to talk for the first two months of school," Ron said pushing Harleigh to the ground.
Harry stood up angrily and the candles started to flicker. Hermione stood and placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"Calm down Harry he isn't worth it," Hermione whispered in his ear.
"Fine," Harry sat back down and started to stuff food in his mouth to calm down.
"Ha-ha the stupid Gryffindor can't even defend herself," Ron continued to tease and bully Harleigh who was getting herself off the ground.
"That's it," Harry said as he whipped out of his seat to grab Ron's robes in one hand and prepared to punch him with the other.
"Stop!" Harleigh yelled, "Both of you enough, nothing Ron says and I mean nothing he says has any worth to me so it isn't worth getting trouble over Harry."
"Yeah you're right," Harry said letting Ron go.
"Stupid bitch," Ron whispered load enough for the Gryffindors and some others to hear.
Harry went to punch Ron again but was beaten to it as Ron fell to the floor with a broken nose.
Harleigh gasped as Draco winced in pain from punching Ron.
"Draco," Harleigh whispered in shock.
"Are you okay?" Draco asked looking ove4r Harleigh.
"Yeah I am fine …, but why Draco?" Harleigh asked.
"He deserved it," Draco smiled causing Harleigh to also smile, "I've got to go."
Draco left Harleigh still smiling,
"I demand to know what happened here!" Snape order as he marched over to Gryffindor table where the incident happened.
"Harry Just came over and punched me for no reason professor," Ron lied yet again to get the Gryffindors into trouble.
"Fifty points from Gryffindor for hitting another student," Snape smirked at the chance to get Harry into trouble.
"Um, excuse me professor you can't do that," Harleigh said timidly.
"And exactly why can't I Miss LeStrange?" Snape growled and took a limped step over to the young Gryffindor.
"Because you know that isn't what happened," Harleigh said gaining a little Gryffindor courage.
"And how exactly would I know that?" Snape sneered.
"Because I saw you smirking at us the whole time, I am not stupid to think you weren't watching and you defiantly were happy or something of the sorts when the youngest Mr. Weasley was over here making fun of me and other Gryffindors," Harleigh smirked, "Plus I saw you winced when Draco hit Mr. Weasley. Therefore your point deduction is invalid. Sorry Professor if will you excuse me I should eat breakfast before the Quidditch match. You know the one Gryffindor will beat Slytherin in."
Harleigh sat back down in her spot and started to load her plate with eggs and bacon leaving some cheering Gryffindors and a fuming Snape.
"You behavior is unacceptable Miss LeStrange, 100 points from Gryffindor and detention with me for the next two weeks for your mouth," Snape growled.
"100 points to Miss LeStrange for standing up for your friends when they have been wronged, 50 points to Mr. Potter for defending your friends honor and for self control, and 25 points to Miss Granger for calming down a fellow housemate when needed," Professor McGonagall said as she arrived to defend her lion cubs, "Also 100 points from Slytherin for Mr. Weasley's unbelievable behavior towards Miss LeStrange, and from Mr. Malfoy hitting a fellow student. Miss LeStrange will not be attending detentions with professor Snape because she will be helping me, I'll see you tonight after dinner Miss LeStrange."

Before the Quidditch match Oliver Wood had the team huddled up, all wearing their scarlet Quidditch robes.
"Alright men," Oliver said.
"And women," said Harleigh and one of the chasers, Angelina Johnson.
"And women," Oliver corrected, "This is it."
"The big one," Fred Weasley said.
"The one we've all been waiting for," George said gaining a glare from Oliver and a giggle from Harleigh.
Fred leaned over and whispered, "We know Oliver's speech off by heart," To Harry and Harleigh, "We were on the team last year."
"Shut up, you two," said Oliver, "This is the best team Gryffindor has had in years, we're going to win, I know it."
"Alright, it's time. I'll see you out there." George, the Weasley twin who Harleigh is replacing said as he waved the team off and headed for the stands to sit with his friend Lee.
