The first thing I thought of when I woke up was my first quidditch game! I had been in a rush but luckily I didn't forget anything this time. I put my hair in a tight braid so it wouldn't frizz and headed out to meet Hermione, Harry, and Ron. I walked down the stairs about ten minutes before we had to head to class so I had time to talk. "Hey Sam," Ron said as he waved from the chairs in front of the fireplace where we usually sit. "So we have to figure out who Nicolas Flamel is and what he has to do with whatever fluffy is hiding," mused hermione. "You know that name sounds familiar but I can't recall where I saw it" Harry said unsure. Before any of us could say anything the bell rang and we knew it was time to get to class. We all hurried to potions before Snape could say we were late and deduct points. Once again we sat in our normal seats and class began.
"Today we will be making strength potions and as i remind every class do not try to take a sip before i check no begin" He ordered sternly. I grabbed all my ingredients and got to work. Oddly potions was one of my favorite subjects, if it weren't for snape himself then it would be first. Kinda like how math is my favorite subject even though most of my math teachers sucked. I zoned out for most of the time but finished my potion anyways. The rest of the day was a blur and before I knew it it was in my uniform and out on the field waiting for the match to begin. It was Ravenclaw versus Gryfindor and we were prepared to win. I could feel the soft breeze blowing on my face and could hear fans from both sides cheering their house on. I stretched one last time and the game began. I flew through the air trying to grab the snitch. I was distracted by my main goal and was nearly hit by a bludger. "And the new Gryffindor seeker Samantha granger is nearly hit by a bludger! The Gryffindor beaters and her reflexes end up saving her thought" I heard Lee Jordan announce mere moments after.
The cheers from Gryffindor had become even louder so I assumed someone had scored a point. Suddenly my broom started to shake from side to side. You know the spinning carnival rides, that's sort of how it felt except 50 feet off the ground. I usually had a tight grip on my broom but i was close to the snitch so i was trying to be prepared to catch it. "HELP" I yelled as the broom flung me off and the only thing keeping me from falling was my hands. I searched the crowd looking to see if i could find hermione before what i assumed were my last moments. Instead of being in her seat she was behind professor snape with a fire in a jar. She lit his cloak on fire and ran of moments before the rest of the teachers noticed and havoc erupted. Suddenly my broom stopped shaking and i managed to climb back on. I flew close to the ground trying to leave the game but I spotted the snitch in front of me. Why not help my team before I go get some shock reaction medicine? I thought as I flew towards it. The snitch was right in front of me and I reached out my hand suddenly!y tumbled off my broom nearly swallowing the snitch.
I immediately stood up and spat it out. By this point I had a massive headache but the crowd erupted. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN GRYFFINDOR DOES IT AGAIN WINNING THE FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR" Yelled Lee jordan yelled. "Can someone explain what happened?" I asked hermione. "You were being cursed by Snape," She hissed. "Yeah, he was muttering a curse or something and was staring right at you!" Ron exclaimed. Soon enough I made an excuse and left for my dorm to go to bed early. Sage was waiting at the window with a letter.
