Harry was having the best time at Hogwarts. It has been a month and he has enjoyed every minute of it. Harry, Ginny and Hermione had all taken a disliking to the Potions master, Snape. Harry loved all his other teachers, except Quirrell. He was annoying in the way he always was nervous and didn't like to talk to Harry other than when he absolutely had to. Harry was particularly excited for a certain lesson, and today he was finally getting that lesson. The Trio walked onto the Pitch and Madam Hooch, told them to stand next to a broom. "Now, speak the command word, up. Say it with authority. Try it now."
Harry got his broom up on his first try, and Ginny got hers even faster. Hermione was struggling to get hers up. It was just rolling around. She finally just picked it up without anyone noticing.
"Mount your brooms and when you go up, only go 2 or 3 feet in the air. To go up, shove hard off the ground." Madam Hooch commanded. "Ready? 1...2..."
Madam Hooch was interrupted by Neville who had gone flying. He crashed into a wall and fell almost 15 feet. Hermione let out a little scream and everyone heard the crunch of bones. Madam Hooch went over to Neville and told the class,
"No one go on their brooms while I'm gone. If you do, consider yourself expelled."
She then took Neville inside, probably to the hospital wing. Malfoy walked over to where Neville had fallen and picked up a small sphere.
"Looks like Longbottom dropped something."
"Give it her, Malfoy."
Harry wasn't surprised to see Ginny emerge from the crowd around Malfoy with her hand stuck out.
"Yeah? Make me."
He then took off on his broom. Ginny shot up after him and Harry followed in pursuit. Hermione was screaming something about getting expelled, but Harry was having to much fun to notice. Malfoy stopped, suspended in air and said,
"Go chase it."
And he then threw the remembrall. Harry dived and just as he was about to hit he threw the remembrall back, hopefully, to Ginny. He heard Ginny yell for him to pull up. He yanked on the front and landed smoothly. Ginny landed right next to him and showed him the remembrall. There wasn't a scratch on it.
"Potter! Weasley! My office. NOW!"
Harry and Ginny turned around slowly. Professor McGonagall marched back inside with Harry and Ginny walking in her wake. "You two could've been killed!"
"Sorry professor." Harry and Ginny said sheepishly.
Ginny gave Harry a questioning look as McGonagall passed her office and headed toward the Defense Against The Dark Arts room. She told Harry and Ginny to stay as she opened the door.
"Professor Quirell, may I borrow Wood for a moment?"
Harry gave Ginny an alarmed look and Ginny whispered to him,
"The captain of the quiditch team."
Harry looked puzzled and thought why McGonagall would be bringing out the captain of the quiditch team, though he was glad he wasn't getting detention right away. A tall boy with brown hair with a military hair cut came out of the classroom.
"Wood, I just found you a new seeker and chaser."
