A day after my little adventure, it was Harry's first quiditch game. We were sitting at the table eating and discussing about the troll incedant, when Professor Snape came over.
"Good luck today, Potter. Then again, now that you've proved yourself against a troll, a game of quiditch should be easy work for you. Even if it's against Slytherin." Then he just limped away. Totally not suspicious Snape, not sus at all.
'The guy can't even say his true feelings. Is he a tsundere?'
"That explains the blood." Harry said with squinted eyes.
"Blood?" Hermione looked at him with confusion. Harry scooched a bit closer before speaking.
"Listen, that night with the troll, I'm guessing Snape used the troll as a diversion so that he could get past that three headed do-"
"Fluffy" I interrupted as I fed Lilith some bacon. He looked at me for a bit before continuing.
"Snape used the troll as a diversion so that he could get past Fluffy. But he got himself bit, that's why he's limping."
"Why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione asked.
"The day I was at Gringrots, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts business, very secret." Harry said like a professional detective.
"So you're saying that's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants." I didn't even bother trying to correct Harry, because it's pointless trying to persuade a kid. We went into deep thought before Hedwig came flying with a package and dropped it at Harry.
"It's a bit early for mail isn't it?" Hermione asked while exchanging glances with Harry and the package.
"Let's open it." I suggested.
Then we all worked together and ripped apart the package. Inside was a sleek broomstick of the latest model, the Nimbus 2000. I couldn't help but whistle at its beauty. Compared to the old rickety stick I use for Flying lessons, this was a real broomstick.
~Quiditch Field~
Me and Hermione got front row seats and were watching as the Gryffindor team were doing their intro stunts. Hagrid took a seat right next to me and he took out his binoculars, ready for the game.
The game soon started, everything went the same as canon. Madam Hooch with her warning, Angelina scoring first, Oliver blocking Slytherin's attempt at scoring, everything went the same.
Quirellmort started jinxing Harry's broom when he almost got the golden snitch. Snape tried to prevent this, but Hermione thought that Snape was jinxing Harry's broom. She handed me her binocular and said.
"It's Snape, he's jinxing the broom!" Before I could even reply, she spoke.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Then she ran off.
'Haah, kids will be kids.'
[You are a kid, you know that, right?]
'Shut up.'
After a few minutes of watching Harry dangling from his swaying broom, it finally stabilised, allowing Harry to get back up on his broom. I was also watching Quirellmort jinxing Harry broom while Snape was anti-jinxing it. I feel that if I don't do something, Snape will continue to be misunderstood by Harry.
Then came the scene where Harry caught the snitch with his mouth, and he was trying to get it out but it looked like he was gonna vomit. Gryffindor won the game and everyone cheered and Draco looked upset. Twinkledore continued his kind grandfather act. Snape became calm because Harry was safe. Harry was just happy of his first victory.
After the game, we walked with Hagrid back to his hut while Hermione was saying that Snape jinxed Harry's broom.
"Nonsense, why would Snape be cursing Harry's broom?" Hagrid said with a frown.
"Who knows?"
'I do.'
"Why was he trying to get past that 3 headed dog on Halloween?"
'To secure the philosophers or the sorcerers stone.'
Hagrid looked at Harry with surprised.
"Who told you about Fluffy?" Harry and Hermione both looked at me. I put my hands up in defence.
"All Fluffy said was his name and that Hagrid was his daddy. Isn't that right Hagrid?" Hagrid nodded at my words, completely ignoring the fact that Fluffy spoke to me.
"That's right. I bought him from an Irish fellow down at the pub last year, then I leant him to Dumbledore to guard the-" Harry, like an idiot, interrupted.
"Yes?"
"Shouldn't have said that. No more questions, don't ask anymore questions. That's top secret that is." Hagrid said in a firm voice.
"But Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's gaurding, Snape's trying to steal it." Harry insisted.
"Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher." Hagrid stopped walking and looked down at us. Hermione stepped forward and spoke on our behalf.
"Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a spell when I see one, I've read all about them. You've got to keep eye contact and Snape wasn't blinking." Harry nodded his head.
"Exactly." Hagrid sighed before speaking.
"Now you listen to me, all three of you. You're meddling in things that aren't meant to be meddled with, it's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is strictly between Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel." I smiled at Hagrid's fumble.
"Nicholas Flamel? The owner of the only known Philosophers Stone? So the thing that Fluffy's guarding is the Philosophers stone, huh? No wonder Snape would want it, that thing can make you Elixir's of Life, which basically grants you immortality." I said to the 2 clueless kids and 1 panicking Hagrid.
"I should not have said that, I should not have said that. You heard nothing now, you here? Don't go mentioning it out loud now." Hagrid said to us before walking away.
The 3 of us looked at each other before smirking.
