[The next morning, in the great hall. The gang is sitting, eating. Harry is twirling his food on a fork.]
Ron: Take a bit of toast, mate. Go on.
Hermione: Ron's right, Harry. You're gonna need your strength today.
Harry: I'm not hungry. Where's June?
Hermione: She was still asleep when I left our dorm. We'll probably see her at the match.
[Harry nods. Snape appears at the table]
Snape: Good luck today, Potter. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you. Even if it is against Slytherin. [Snape walks off, limping. Harry notices this.]
Harry: That explains the blood
Hermione: Blood?
Harry: Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that 3 headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping.
Hermione: But why would anyone go near that dog
Harry: The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts' business, very secret.
Hermione: So you're saying...
Harry: That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants. [Hedwig screeches as she enters the Great Hall. She is carrying a very large, long parcel. She drops it off at the table.]
Hermione: Bit early for mail, isn't it?
Harry: But I... I never get mail.
Ron: Let's open it.
[They open it to reveal a broomstick.]
Harry: It's a broomstick!
Ron: Thats not just any broomstick, Harry. [recognizing the model] It's a Nimbus 2000!
Harry: But who...?
[He notices Professor McGonagall up at the head table, stroking Hedwig. She smiles and nods to the table. Harry sees a letter and opens it confused. He reads it aloud. Hermione and Ron listen intently]
Harry: "Juniper helped. Make sure to thank her too"
"Aweeeeeeee" The mothers in the great hall cooed.
[Later on, inside a Quidditch tower, the Gryffindor team is marching toward the starting gate. They reach it and stop, behind a closed double door.]
"QUIDDITCH" James screams. Remus slaps him upside the head.
Oliver: Scared, Harry?
Harry: A little
Oliver: That's all right. I felt the same way before my first game.
Harry: What happened?
Oliver: Er, I don't really remember. I took a Bludger to the head two minutes in. Woke up in the hospital a week later.
"Like father like son" James whispered, looking over at the Gryffindors quidditch captain, who happened to be Oliver's father.
[Harry gulps and looks straight ahead as the doors open. They mount their brooms and zoom out onto the enormous pitch. There is cheering. Juniper Potter , the new Quidditch commentator is announcing from a tower.]
Juniper: Hello! And welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game, Slytherin vs. Gryffindor!
[There is a close-up of Gryffindor students cheering.]
