"Just what I always wanted. To make a fool of myself on a broomstick in front of Malfoy." we had been looking forward to learning to fly more than anything else and neither of us liked the idea of having to share the experience with the Slytherines. While Malfoy and his cronies usually left me alone, I didn't like the way they treated my friends.437Please respect copyright.PENANAJo1OYWtJKB

437Please respect copyright.PENANAZz6IzieSrh
"You don't know that you'll make a fool of yourself," said Ron reasonably. "Anyway, I know Malfoy's always going on about how good he is at Quidditch, but I bet that's all talk." 437Please respect copyright.PENANAlxM3Jls8jM

We all looked up as owls soared into the hall. A barn owl brought Neville a small package from his grandmother. He opened it excitedly and showed us a glass ball the size of a large marble, which seemed to be full of white smoke. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAG8qeYMaQVt

"It's a Remembrall!" he explained. "Gran knows I forget things - this tells you if there's something you've forgotten to do. Look, you hold it tight like this and if it turns red - oh..." His face fell, because the Remembrall had suddenly glowed scarlet,"You've forgotten something..." 437Please respect copyright.PENANApd35iRoSpd
437Please respect copyright.PENANA0PxzEy2RDR
437Please respect copyright.PENANATddCwYVouN
Neville was trying to remember what he'd forgotten when Draco Malfoy,who was passing the Gryffindor table, snatched the Remembrall out of his hand. Harry, Ron, and I jumped to our feet but Professor McGonagall, who could spot trouble quicker than any teacher in the school, was there in a flash. 437Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nk08Zhbs6

At three-thirty that afternoon, Harry and I, along with the other Gryffindors, hurried down the front steps onto the grounds for our first flying lesson. It was a clear, breezy day, and the grass rippled under our feet as we marched down the sloping lawns toward a smooth, flat lawn on the opposite side of the grounds to the forbidden forest, whose trees were swaying darkly in the distance. 437Please respect copyright.PENANA8A4NLqXP9c
437Please respect copyright.PENANA30Bm6JzVdf
437Please respect copyright.PENANAOadoWx6q5T
The Slytherins were already there, and so were twenty broomsticks lying in neat lines on the ground. The teacher, Madam Hooch, arrived as we approached the brooms. She had short, gray hair, and yellow eyes like a hawk. 437Please respect copyright.PENANADs2yPcff43
437Please respect copyright.PENANAd7tohaJCAb
437Please respect copyright.PENANAg0TVdmLvKr
"Well, what are you all waiting for?" she barked. "Everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry up." I glanced down at my broom. It was old and some of the twigs stuck out at odd angles."Stick out your right hand over your broom," called Madam Hooch at the front, "and say 'Up!"' 437Please respect copyright.PENANA8g4YkAveW3
437Please respect copyright.PENANAWHsTdlxawt
437Please respect copyright.PENANAXRjsV9NP91
"UP" everyone shouted. My broom jumped into my hand at once, but it was one of the few that did. Hermione's had simply rolled over on the ground, and Neville's hadn't moved at all. I Laughed as Ron's smacked him in the face. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAMvmWypCMk6
437Please respect copyright.PENANACKnkTYqrC7
437Please respect copyright.PENANAnODIU2RFqE
Madam Hooch then showed us how to mount the brooms without sliding off the end, and walked up and down the rows correcting our grips. I giggled in delight when she told Malfoy he'd been doing it wrong for years. The pompous git! He'd been boasting all week about how great he was at flying. It was nice to see his ego knocked down a few sizes.437Please respect copyright.PENANAmxDYTZq911
437Please respect copyright.PENANAxcTXaSqT69
437Please respect copyright.PENANAmhsF0H8pKP
"Now, when I blow my whistle, kick off from the ground, hard," said Madam Hooch. "Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet, and then come straight back down by leaning forward slightly. On my whistle - three - two -" 437Please respect copyright.PENANAIs4qb4zqPP
437Please respect copyright.PENANAnPiHK3WI0v
437Please respect copyright.PENANAPiybPBKmsO
But Neville, nervous and jumpy and frightened of being left on the ground, pushed off hard before the whistle had touched Madam Hooch'slips. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAiV7s4v1rBM
437Please respect copyright.PENANA3UpRoDKGlm
437Please respect copyright.PENANAOUfXXgYi4g
"Come back, boy!" she shouted, but Neville was rising straight up like a cork shot out of a bottle - twelve feet - twenty feet...till suddenly he slipped sideways off the broom and -WHAM - a thud and a nasty crack and Neville lay face down on the grass in a heap. His broomstick was still rising higher and higher, and started to drift lazily toward the forbidden forest and out of sight. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAnHDohClyji
437Please respect copyright.PENANAXAMUvZIsKr
437Please respect copyright.PENANAFk0w6VuwAb
Madam Hooch was bending over Neville, her face as white as his."Broken wrist," I heard her mutter. "Come on, boy - it's all right, up you get." She turned to the rest of the class."None of you is to move while I take this boy to the hospital wing! Youleave those brooms where they are or you'll be out of Hogwarts before you can say 'Quidditch.' Come on, dear."Neville, his face tear-streaked, clutching his wrist, hobbled off with Madam Hooch, who had her arm around him. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAM3uB813hhC
437Please respect copyright.PENANAmMUCfsvAT7
437Please respect copyright.PENANAJ41S25LMlN
No sooner were they out of earshot than Malfoy burst into laughter."Did you see his face, the great lump?"The other Slytherins joined in. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAcaP7JLyHE2
437Please respect copyright.PENANAA9L7KdzYYz
437Please respect copyright.PENANAvbDO1uQIJx

"Ooh, sticking up for Longbottom?" said Pansy Parkinson, a hard-faced Slytherin girl. "Never thought you'd like fat little crybabies, Katrina." I felt arms wrap around me as I was about to go over and punch her. I glared back at Harry.437Please respect copyright.PENANAg8N9BJtXsQ
437Please respect copyright.PENANAGRyrwUUY6M
437Please respect copyright.PENANAdyZjU908JO
"Look!" said Malfoy, darting forward and snatching something out of the grass. "It's that stupid thing Longbottom's gran sent him."The Remembrall glittered in the sun as he held it up. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAp2rTWT2uUz
437Please respect copyright.PENANAJjJG9X61Ce
437Please respect copyright.PENANAzoaleWMBmA
"Give that here, Malfoy," said Harry quietly as he continued to hold me back. Everyone stopped talking to watch. Malfoy smiled nastily. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAR6fBCql549
437Please respect copyright.PENANAKNFu3WavHa

437Please respect copyright.PENANARZj4kyQV4z
437Please respect copyright.PENANA7GmGQgl3qi
"Give it here!" I yelled, but Malfoy had leapt onto his broomstick and taken off. He hadn't been lying, he could fly well. Hovering level with the topmost branches of an oak he called, "Come and get it, you two!" 437Please respect copyright.PENANAOf9nhGsAle

437Please respect copyright.PENANAfIpOGwyvFB
"No!" shouted Hermione. "Madam Hooch told us not to move -you'll get us all into trouble." We ignored her. Blood was pounding in my ears and I wanted nothing more than to knock Malfoy off his broom. I kicked hard against the ground and up, up, up I soared; air rushed through my hair, and my robes whipped out behind me...437Please respect copyright.PENANAqdCAHp14Sw
437Please respect copyright.PENANANlTGlYFvM8
437Please respect copyright.PENANAAYleIc1US4
In a rush of fierce joy I realized that this was easier than I'd thought it would be. It was wonderful. I pulled the broomstick up a little to take it even higher, and heard screams and gasps of the students back on the ground and an admiring whoop from Ron. Harry and I turned our broomsticks sharply to face Malfoy in midair. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAHJTSlx8SXV
437Please respect copyright.PENANArd0qTknUO0
437Please respect copyright.PENANAvlLZQDLpGF
Malfoy looked stunned. "Give it here," We called together, "or we'll knock you off that broom!" 437Please respect copyright.PENANALZK9GEqKnc
437Please respect copyright.PENANABFn0QtRc9j
437Please respect copyright.PENANANz9JFOk13z
"Oh, yeah?" said Malfoy, trying to sneer, but looking worried. I leaned forward and grasped the broom tightly in both hands, and it shot toward Malfoy like a javelin. Malfoy only just got out of the way in time; and I made a sharp about-face and held the broom steady. A few people below were clapping. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAT3rC8jQXK7
437Please respect copyright.PENANAiNJ0Ph3OWs
437Please respect copyright.PENANAL2AAqvJjyE
"No Crabbe and Goyle up here to save your neck, Malfoy," I heard Harry shout. The same thought seemed to have struck Malfoy. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAhZs2d4Vb5q
437Please respect copyright.PENANAOfwGkAHNHZ
437Please respect copyright.PENANAODVzgJxtQv
"Catch it if you can, then!" he shouted, and he threw the glass ball high into the air. I dashed after it and caught it, enjoying the wide look of shock on his face. The next thing I knew, he was coming straight at me and I tore off in the opposite direction. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAThchHXu716
437Please respect copyright.PENANAKm3zIM7jwa
437Please respect copyright.PENANAaHW6yVqyXy
"Harry, catch!" I shouted as I tossed the ball in his direction and avoided Malfoy. He gave up and streaked back towards the ground as I saw Harry's hand reach out and grasp the tiny ball a foot from the ground. I pointed my own broom downwards and enjoyed the rush, waiting till the last moment to pull my broom straight, toppling gently onto the grass.437Please respect copyright.PENANAlOSO4qEqv2

"HARRY POTTER! KATRINA!" My heart sank faster than I'd just dived. Professor McGonagall was running toward us. Harry extended a helpful arm as we got to our feet, trembling. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAU8HGjwHl8u
437Please respect copyright.PENANAIOk5QiHdjH

"That's enough, Mr. Weasley. Potter, Katrina, follow me, now." I caught sight of Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle's triumphant faces as we left, walking numbly in Professor McGonagall's wake as she strode towardthe castle. We were going to be expelled, I just knew it. I wanted to say something to defend ourselves, but I couldn't force the words out. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAnuPB4tjgdN

Professor McGonagall was sweeping along without even looking at us; we had to jog to keep up. Now I'd done it. I hadn't even lasted two weeks. I'd be packing my bags in ten minutes. What would the they say at the Orphanage when I turned up months early? 437Please respect copyright.PENANA1TnjWXmspU

Up the front steps, up the marble staircase inside, and still Professor McGonagall didn't say a word. She wrenched open doors and marched along corridors with the two of us trotting miserably behind her. Maybe she was taking us to Dumbledore. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAq7IyJqrYS7

"Excuse me, Professor Flitwick, could I borrow Wood for a moment?"Wood? I thought, bewildered; was Wood a cane she was going to use on us?But Wood turned out to be a person, a burly fifth-year boy who came out of Flitwick's class looking confused. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAXz8qAehWsf

"Follow me, you three," said Professor McGonagall, and we marched on up the corridor, Wood looking curiously at Harry and I. "In here."Professor McGonagall ushered us into a classroom that was empty except for Peeves, who was busy writing rude words on the blackboard."Out, Peeves!" she barked. Peeves threw the chalk into a bin, which clanged loudly, and he swooped out cursing. Professor McGonagall slammed the door behind him and turned to face the three of us.437Please respect copyright.PENANAsgJ4ULW4PG

"Absolutely," said Professor McGonagall crisply. "The're naturals. I've never seen anything like it. Was that your first time on a broomstick, Potter, Katrina?" We both nodded silently. Neither of us had a clue what was going on, but we didn't seem to be getting expelled.437Please respect copyright.PENANAfv3yAD10Uh

"She made a pass with incredible accuracy while traveling at high speed and he caught that thing in his hand after a fifty-foot dive," Professor McGonagall told Wood. "Didn't even scratch himself.

"He's just the build for a Seeker, too," said Wood, now walking around Harry and staring at him. "Light - speedy - we'll have to get them decent brooms, Professor - a Nimbus Two Thousand or a Cleansweep Seven,I'd say." 437Please respect copyright.PENANAgQpNIujLyR

Professor McGonagall peered sternly over her glasses at Harry and I."I want to hear you're training hard, or I may change my mind about punishing you two."Then she suddenly smiled."Your parents would have been proud," she said.

Fred and George Weasley now came into the hall, spotted Harry and I, and hurried over."Well done," said George in a low voice. "Wood told us. We're on the team too - Beaters." George explained at my questioning look. 437Please respect copyright.PENANAW9iJFDLzbM

"I tell you, we're going to win that Quidditch cup for sure this year,"said Fred. "We haven't won since Charlie left, but this year's team is going to be brilliant.

"You're a lot braver now that you're back on the ground and you've got your little friends with you," said Harry coolly.

"I'd take you on anytime on my own, Potter" said Malfoy. "Tonight, if you want.Wizard's duel. Wands only - no contact. What's the matter? Never heard of a wizard's duel before, I suppose?" 437Please respect copyright.PENANAo4TtkKWq3M

"Well, a second's there to take over if you die," said Ron casually,getting started at last on his cold pie. Catching the look on our faces, he added quickly, "But people only die in proper duels, you know,with real wizards. The most you and Malfoy'll be able to do is send sparks at each other. Neither of you knows enough magic to do any real damage. I bet he expected you to refuse, anyway." 437Please respect copyright.PENANAqDQv5bmt8E
