Jack and Harry followed the rest of the team in their red uniforms, out onto the pitch and met Madam Hooch and the Slytherin, who were playing in green.

"Now, I want a nice fair game, all of you," she said saying this more to the Slytherins, then told the captains to shake hands and for everyone to mount their brooms.

Jack got onto his broom and waited for Madam Hooch to give a blast on her whistle which she did after letting the Snitch and the Bludgers out and threw the Quaffle into the air.

They were off.

"And the Quaffle is immediately taken by Jack Frost, look at him go, he must be the fastest Chaser I've ever seen, he's already at the goal posts he shoots and he scores! 10 -0 to Gryffindor!"

The whole school was buzzing no one could recall a score being shot so fast in Quidditch before.

The Weasley Twin's friend, Lee Jordon was commentating being closely watched my Professor McGonagall, except she too was surprised at just how fast Jack was.

"Slytherin in possession, heading the other way, Captain Marcus Flint passes it to – No that was stopped by Angelina Johnson of Gryffindor – what an excellent Chaser that girl is and rather attractive too –"

"JORDON!"

"Sorry Professor. Quaffle changes hands as Angeliena passes to Katie Bell she's about to score – OUCH! That must have hurt hit in the back by a Bludger! Quaffle taken my Slytherin – that's Adrian Pucey speeding off towards the goalposts but he's blocked be the second Bludger shot by Fred or George Weasley – can't tell which, nice play by a Gryffindor Beater anyway, and Frost is back in possession and he shoots up the pitch dodging everything he's at the post's – come on now Jack – Keeper Bletchly dives – misses – GRYFFINDOR SCORE!"

The Gryffindor's and Guardians cheers fill the cold air, with howls and moans from the Slytherins.

"Budge up there, move along."

"Hagrid!"

Ron and Hermione squeezed together to give Hagrid enough space to join them.

"Bin watching from me hut," Hagrid said patting a large pair of binoculars around his neck "But it's not really the same as being in the crowd." Sandy gave a thumbs up in agreement before turning back to the game.

"That Jack of yers is really something," Hagrid said to North "Any sign of the Snitch yet?"

"Nope," Ron said while everyone around him cheered due to another score Jack had just won "Harry's not had much to do yet."

"At least he's been keeping out of trouble," Bunny said looking up and where Harry was.

.

High in the air, Harry was looking around for any sign of the Snitch as part of Wood's 'Stay-out-of-the-way-until you've-seen-the-Snitch' plan. "We don't want you hurt attacked before you have to be." he said.

When Jack scored the first goal, Harry did some back flips to let out his feelings, but now he was looking for the Snitch.

"How's it going Harry?" Jack asked coming over to talk to him, letting the other Chasers have a chance with the Quaffle.

"Not too bad," Harry said his eyes on the ground "I thought i spotted the Snitch before, but it was just a watch. And then a Bludger nearly knocked me off my broom but I was alright."

"Slytherin in possession," Lee Jordon was saying "Chaser Pucey ducks two Bludgers, two Weasleys, and Chaser Bell, and speeds towards the – wait was that the Snitch?"

There was a murmur running through the crowd, making Adrian Pucy drop the Quaffle which, after speeding towards it, Jack caught instead.

Spotting the Snitch, Harry raced towards it, quickly followed by the Slytherin Seeker, Terence Higgs, everyone, seeing to have forgotten what they were doing as they watched the neck and neck race to the Snitch.

Well all except Jack as he was doing his job of looking out for Harry and Flint who was zooming towards the black haired boy.

"HARRY LOOK OUT!" Jack cried but it was too late.

Flint had come and blocked Harry from grabbing the Snitch on purpose, sending the boy spinning off course, Harry holding on for dear life, coming to a halt because Jack asked the Wind to help.

"FOUL!" screamed the Gryffindors.

While Madam Hooch was telling Flint off, down in the stands Dean Thomas was calling out –

"Send him off ref! Red card!"

"This isn't football Dean," Ron said rolling his eyes "You can't send people off in Quidditch. And what's a red card?"

"It's a card that's red, that let the referee kick someone out of the game in Football," Tooth said agreeing with Dean, Hagrid and the other Guardians.

"They oughta change the rules," Hagrid said "Flint coulda knocked Harry out of the air and made him break his neck."

"That no good snake," Bunny said "Bet he only did that so the game wouldn't end and they could try and get more points to win themselves."

Over the speakers Lee Jordon was having trouble picking sides.

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

"Jordon!" growled Professor McGonagall.

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

"Jordon, I'm warning you – "

"Alright, alright. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure. So penalty for Gryffindor, taken by Frost who makes it look easy, and we continue play 90 – 20 to Gryffindor, Gryffindor in possession."

It was just as Jack saw Harry dodge a Bludger when he saw his friends broom act funny - and not good funny, bad funny.

As though the kids Nimbus was trying to buck him off – but brooms don't do that do they?

Thinking he should help, Jack threw the Quaffle to Katie Bell and went over to Harry, but every time he tried to help Harry flew higher.

"Harry, what's going on?" Jack called to him giving up.

"I... don't... know..." Harry said holding on as tight as he could.

People in the stands were all looking and pointing now. Fred and George tried to come and help too, but Jack told them to just get below them to catch Harry in case he did fall off.

.

"Hey, what's going on with Harry's broomstick?" Tooth asked snatching North's binoculars and fixing them on Harry and Jack.

"Dunno," said Hagrid "If I didn't know better, I say he's lost control of it... But he can't have..."

At that point Harry's broom had started to roll over and over, with him only just hanging on. Then everyone gasped as it gave a large jerk and threw him off, Harry only hanging on with one hand, Jack asking the Wind to try her best to keep the broom steady.

.

"Did something happen to it when Flint blocked him?" Seamus asked scared.

"Can't have, only powerful Dark Magic can do that, no student can pull that off," Hagrid said in reply "Especially to a Nimbus 2000."

At these words, Hermione took Hagrids binoculars and started to search the crowd.

"What are you doing?" Ron moaned a little, Sandy curious as well.

"I knew it – It's Snape look!" Hermione said handing the binoculars over.

Ron grabbed the binoculars and Sandy grabbed the ones Tooth was using both aiming for the opposite stand where they saw Snape, his eyes fixed on Harry and was muttering non-stop under his breath.

"He's doing something" Hermione said "Jinxing the broom."

"What do we do?"

"Leave it to me."

With that Hermione disappeared, followed by Sandy.

.

Up in the sky, Harry's broom was now vibrating, hard. Everyone was on their feet and watching him.

No one noticed when Marcus Flint took the Quaffle and shot 5 goals.

Once again Jack tried to get Harry onto his broom, and once again every time he tried Harry went higher.

"Come on Hermione," Ron muttered desperately.

Hermione and Sandy had made their way to the other stand where Snape was, Hermione not bothering to say sorry to Professor Quirrell when she bumped into him.

Sandy paused to help him up again only to be shook off, Sandy sensing Dark Magic inside the nervous Professor.

Surprised, Sandy looked towards Harry, seeing he wasn't having any problems now, but Snape was still muttering.

Confused Sandy went to find Hermione, but she had already set fire to Snape's robes, distracting him.

Grinning, Hermione took a jam jar and, using her wand flicked the flames into it.

"Come on Sandy we can go now," she said seeing Sandy had followed her.

.

In the air, Harry felt his broom stop fighting him, and he swung himself back onto it.

Grinning Jack came over.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Better than I was a few minutes ago," Harry said checking if he did indeed have total control of his broom again by doing a few back flips.

.

"Neville, you can look," Ron said. Neville had been sobbing into Hagrid's jacket for the last five minutes.

Harry was diving for the ground his hand over his mouth.

Worried Jack came down to help.

"Looks like he's going to be sick," Hagrid said speaking of Harry.

Jack patted Harry's back and out of the black haired boys mouth popped a small golden ball with silvery wings which he caught in his hands.

"I've got the Snitch!" he shouted holding it up.

"Harry Potter has caught the Snitch! Gryffindor WINS!" Lee Jordon cheered through the microphone.


"He didn't catch it, he nearly swallowed it!" Flint was still howling 20 minutes later, but it made no difference – Harry hadn't broken any rules and Lee Jordon was still cheering the score 220 – 60.

Jack and Harry didn't hear any of this though, they were with Ron, Hermione, Hagrid and the Guardians in Hagrid's hut to enjoy some fresh tea.

"It was Snape," Ron said explaining "We saw him jinxing the broom."

Sandy was telling Jack that he believed it was Quirrell and the Dark Magic he felt in that teacher.

"You sure?" Jack asked getting Ron's attention.

"Of course I'm sure," Hermione said "I've read all about jinxes Jack, and it says you need to keep eye contact and Snape wasn't blinking."

"There were alot of eyes on the boy, girle," Bunny said helping himself to some of Hagrid's carrot cake "Just because Snape don't like ya doesn't mean he'll want to kill you." he said turning to Harry.

"Then why did he try to get pass that three headed dog on Halloween?" Hermione challenged.

At this Tooth, North, Sandy, and a choking Bunny look to Jack with questioning eyes, and Hagrid accidentally dropped the teapot.

"How'd you know about Fluffy?"

"Fluffy?"

"That thing has a name?"

"Corse he's got a name he's mine," Hagrid explained "Brought him off a Greek chap I met at the pub last year. Lent him to Dumbledore to help protect –"

"Yes?" Harry asked.

While Harry, Ron and Hermione were trying to interpret Hagrid, the Guardians took Jack outside wanting answers.

"Alright Jack what's this about a three headed dog?" Bunny asked crossing his arms.

"Did I not write to you about that?" Jack asked not liking being looked down upon.

Sandy shook his head.

"Well, basically at some point, we may have been looking for a place to hide from Filch because we messed up some clean floors," he said not wanting to tell them his was out of bed after hours roaming the school "And we came across a door, and went inside, and there it was."

North was about to ask some more questions when Hagrid called for Jack to come back in.

"Now you listen to me – all four of ya," he said "Ya meddling in things that shouldn't be meddled in. You forget that dog, and you forget what it's guardin', that's strictly between Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel –"

"Aha... so there's someone called Nicolas Flamel involved is there?" Harry asked getting a smirk and a high five from Jack.

Hagrid looked mad with himself.

That evening, Jack showed the Guardians out promising to keep in touch more, especially if anything else happened.

"So you're sure you don't know who this 'Flamel' guy is?" Jack asked.

"Not off the tops of our heads Jack," North said "But enough about him for now. Focus on your school work and the promise to watch over Harry."

"But –"

"Jack, just drop it alright?" Bunny asked "Curiosity kills remember?"

"Aww... you do care," Jack muttered, but agreed to ease up a bit on finding out what the dog was guarding – Of course no one saw he had crossed his fingers.


AN: Answering some of the Questions I've been getting

1) Pitch was kind to Jack in the last chapter because - although you might not know/believe it according to 'The Guardians of Childhood' and fan beliefs that Jack is Mother Nature's son - Pitch is the boys grandfather.

Also I just wanted to do it.

2) No I don't have an update plan - I aim to do it between every 3-7 days but i don't have promises

3) I didn't want Jack there to fight the troll with Harry and Ron, because although I'm using the book as a guide, I am trying to avoid copying it the best I can.

4) The reason Ron and Harry and the rest of the school take no notice on Baby Tooth, is because they are in a world of magic and so are used to magical creatures like her.

All that done, I hope you are all still liking this.
