Soon it was time the morning of the first Quidditch game. It was Slytherin verse Gryffindor. Cortney sat at the Gryffindor table making a deal with Lavender Brown.

" If Slytherin wins today then you have to do my charms homework for two weeks," Cortney said.

" And if Gryffindor wins today then you have to do my potions homework for two weeks," Lavender informed.

" Deal," the two coursed as they shook hands on it. Lavender began talking to Pavarti so, Cortney turned her attention to Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

" Come on; you have to eat something," Ron advised Harry.

" You'll need your strength," Hermione added.

" I'm not hungry," Harry grumbled. " Besides you don't make Cortney eat when she's not hungry."

" Yes they do," Cortney corrected. " But this is a sport, much different than the first day of school ".

" Good luck today Potter," a monotone voice said. Cortney froze and tried to blend in. If Snape knows that it's her, then he will tell Draco and Draco will let her secret out.

" Then again now that you proved yourselves against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you. Even if it's against Slytherin." Then he limped away without a second glance.

" That explains the blood," said Harry. Harry told them about the incident in the bathroom. Cortney turned her attention to him.

" Blood? " Hermione and Ron repeated then glared at each other. Harry leaned forward, glanced around to make sure Seamus or anyone else wasn't listening, they began to tell Ron, Hermione, and Cortney what he's been suspecting.

" Listening night we fought the troll, I was guessing Snape let it in as a diversion so he could get past the three-headed dog, but got but so that's why he's limping " explained Harry.

" But why would anyone go near that thing " questioned Hermione curiously.

" The day we were at Gringotts, Hagrid took something from a vault, said it was Hogwarts business, very secretive " then took a bite of toast much to the girl's delight.

" So your saying " began Ron. " That's what the dogs guarding, That's what Snapes after".

" I'm not so sure it was Snape," Cortney said. "

" Why do you say that? Or was it you? " Ron asked suspiciously.

" No, it wasn't me," Cortney said. " Point is Snape was in the Great Hall with us when it happened ".

" He could've done it before dinner started so, the troll slowly traveled Hogwarts and Professor Quirrell just so happened to see it," Harry said reassuring her. 

" Fair enough," Cortney said tilting her head.

" Who asked for your opinion anyway, Slytherin," Ron growled. Cortney glared at him. She got up and angrily walked away.

**************************

It was time for the Quidditch game. Cortney sat with Joseph, De'lexi, and Milan.

" Hello! Welcome to Hogwarts first Quidditch game of the season ! " announced Lee Jordan and friend of the Weasly twins, doing the commentary. " Today's game: Slytherin vs. Gryffindor! The players take their positions, as Madame Hooch steps on the field to begin the game !" 

" Now I want a clean game from all of you," Madame Hooch said mainly looking at Marcus Flint.

" The buldgers are up followed by the Golden Snitch, Remember the Golden Snitch is worth a hundred and fifty points, the seeker who catches it ends the game. The quaffle is released and the game begins! "

" Angelina Johnson Scores! Ten points to Gryffindor! " Cheers erupted from the crowd while moans erupted from Slytherins.  felt a body sit down behind her so she turned to look and saw Hagrid next to Ron and Hermione.

" Any sign of the Snitch yet ? " rumbled Hagrid

" Nope, Harry hasn't had anything to do yet" replied Ron. Each time Gryffindor scored Harry would a loop-the-loop to let his feelings show. He got caught off guard when a blusher came pelting his way like a cannonball. Harry managed to dodge, while Fred chased after it.

" Alright there Harry " yelled Fred before beating the buldger towards Marcus Flint. Everything was going well until Harry's broom started going hay-wired trying to knock him off.

" Hang on " perked Hermione snatching Hagrids binoculars. " I knew it ! " then she ran off. Hermione accidentally knocked over Quirrell to where Snape was sitting. She pulled out her wand and spoke " Lacarnum Inflamora " and set Snape's cloak on fire then scurried back to where she was sitting so she wouldn't get caught. A few moments later Snape noticed his cloak was on fire and had to stamp on it to put the flames out. Harry manages to get back on his broom the speed off, he and the Slytherin seeker were neck and neck going full speed towards the ground to get the snitch. The other seeker pulled away so he doesn't hit the ground. Harry smacked into the ground and rolled a few feet. He sat up then put his hand over his mouth like he was about to puke. Then he coughed up something round and gold.
" HARRY POTTER CAUGHT THE SNITCH " shouted Lee as Harry was holding the snitch with the hand he caught it. Gryffindors cheers echoed throughout the stadium.

" GRYFFINDOR WINS ! " shouted Lee and the cheers got even louder.

" Looks like I'm doing Lavender's charms homework for the next two weeks," Cortney giggled.
