I have been practicing non stop for the last two weeks or so, as well as keeping up with my school work. So far this year has been amazing, and now it was time for our first game against Slytherin.

"Don't be nervous. You can do this. I will be watching from the stands" Hermione says trying to calm my nerves

She was waiting with me, along with the rest of the team. I was waiting nervously to be called out. I couldn't believe this was happening! I can do this i think?

"Thanks Hermione. I guess I will see you after the game" I give her quick hug and a kiss on the cheek before she leaves me.

Before i knew it, i got on my broom and flew out of the stands and into the sky. I looked around to see everyone standing up and cheering. I found Hermione among the stands with Parvati and Neville, she was cheering the loudest.

"You ready Harry?" I heard Fred ask

"Yeah"

I heard the whistle blow and the brooms were off. I raised to the sky trying to find the snitch, i had no idea where it was. Across from me, the slytherin seeker was doing the same thing as I was.

The game started off with gryffindor making goal, thanks to Oliver and Katie. But the snitch was still no where to be found. Then something caught my eye. Right in front of me the snitch appeared and i raced after it. Slytherin was right on my tail as i chased the snitch. As i nearly grabbed it...my broom started moving?

Up and down, over and over again. What was happening? I was trying to stay on my broom and not fall off. Finally my broom stopped. I looked around to see something going on in the teachers area. Professor Quirrel's cloak was on fire? What was happening?

Immediately i got my mind off them and raced past the slytherin trying to catch the snitch. I stood up on my broom...i was so close. I must of lost my balance because i fell on the snitch and straight on the ground.

"Gross!" The snitch landed in the mouth and i spit it out

"Harry Potter has caught the snitch. 150 points to gryffindor. Gryffindor wins!" I heard Lee yell

I held up the snitch as my team surrounded me and started clapping. I tried to find Hermione but i couldn't see her in the stands. I wonder where she went?

Later that day...

"Hermione? Are you sure you saw Professor Quirrel messing with my broom? Why would he do that?" I asked her

Gryffindor was having a party to celebrate the win. Hermione then told me what she did at the game. Professor Quirrel was apparently charming my broom so i would mess up? That seems hard to believe.

"Harry I saw him speaking the incantation to himself, and he kept constant eye contact with you. That's how i know...it wouldn't have worked any other way. I just need to figure out why he did that?" She says as though its a fact

"Well we have some research to do. Don't you remember what we saw a few days ago? We still need to figure out what the three headed beast was and what it was guarding" I reminded her

"Professor Quirrel is the one who ran into the great hall and told us about the troll. What if he let the thing out? Hagrid said that what he was guarding was between Nicolas Flamel and Dumbledore? All three of them is connected to this somehow...i just don't know why he let out a troll?" She asks pulling out her book

I thought back to that traumatic event last week.

....

I was still waiting for Hermione to come to dinner. She said she was just going to the restroom, but I was worried. Earlier she heard Ron calling her names, she was so upset.

"Help! Troll! There's a troll in the dungeon!" Professor Quarrel yelled running in to the great hall

I then saw he faint and fall to the ground. Immediately i was worried, Hermione wasn't here and there was a troll on the lose. Meanwhile everyone around me was screaming.

"Silence!" I heard Dumbledore yell quieting everyone down

"Perfects take the students to there dorms immediately. Teachers lets deal with the troll" He says as everyone started getting up

I made my way out of the great hall with the rest of the students, but i didn't follow them. I ran as fast as i could to the ladies room. I wasn't going to leave without Hermione.

"Ahhh!" I heard the sound of a girl screaming

"Hermione!" I yelled running inside the bathroom

I saw the troll starting to approach her. I didn't know what else to do, so i started throwing rocks at it. Hermione then ran over to me.

"Harry do the spell! His club...if you hit him right on his head he will fall" Hermione says

I knew what spell she was talking about immediately, we learned to levitate feathers today, Hermione and I were the only ones to be successful.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" I shouted at his club lifting it out of his hands

"Perfectus Totalis" Hermione shouted freezing the troll instantly

The club fell on his head and he fell crashing to the ground. I grabbed Hermione blocking her from all the rubble.

"Are you alright? I was so worried when you didn't come to dinner. I could've lost you" I wrapped my arms around her never wanting to leave her alone ever again

"I'm alright...you saved my life"

"Mr. Potter! Ms.Granger what happened?" Professor Mcgonagall asked running into the bathroom along with the other teachers

"Hermione didn't know about the troll so i wasn't going to leave her. I ran to get her when i saw the troll approaching her. We defeated the troll" Harry told them

"30 points to gryffindor...rather impressive for two wizards who only just found out about wizardry. Go off to your house, we will clean up the mess" She says happily

With that we went back to our house

.....

"Mione we can do this later....we are supposed to be celebrating the win" I grabbed the book from her and placed it on the couch

"I guess you're right. It was quite a game. You played admirably. It seems you have always been made for flying" I suddenly felt heat rising to my cheeks hearing her compliment me

"Oi! Harry. Come tell Seamus that you had the game in the bag, he thought you were going to lose" Dean yells bring my attention towards the group behind me

I grabbed Hermione's hand and we went up to the group. I loved knowing that everyone thought i was a good seeker, it was great being part of the group.

After another hour or so, it was time to sleep. I wasn't quite tired so i decided to sit on the couch with Hermione.

"So was it a good day?" She asks leaning her head on my shoulder

"I think it was my favorite day. I feel so free flying on a broom...it's all so magical"

"That's good....your father would have been proud, at least i think he would" I heard her whisper

"Thanks mione" I moved my arms around her shoulders hugging her slightly

I know he would have been proud.
