"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXyUGC4ZPn

"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." 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmTyLp26ak

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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXbSoFhV98

"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..." 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqlYDHC9Jn

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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o4ap1Lttz

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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEItOYG5II

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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSefL5j5lK

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DDxHRsmFV
"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!"' 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKaIQe4Em2
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmEseTkt0f
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU38Ovg9gL6
"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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0BtCCOQZv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZZ8xvsJKI
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwc4eqj0QA
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaxOczyJd1

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNhBRvDDBQ
"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 -" 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk7K6bxjv7
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LOhUeAjjm
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFZ79K8BFm
But Neville, nervous and jumpy and frightened of being left on the ground, pushed off hard before the whistle had touched Madam Hooch'slips. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVL8NO8gV5

"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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz13N1IoCjh

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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPvpzBELVa

"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2tIbBPyLg
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CQ2YkWvhL
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6SYZjGW4A
"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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMVYCqDJ8b

"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!" 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2gagjyCbQ

"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...364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzUIV2ZLUU

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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEvTCzWPKq

"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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhpXlxFyc9

"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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6NOzMuBIn

"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftJP04YQiU

"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.

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? 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwvRFIwpJ8

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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvaBf5OEE3

"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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzacjCH6Q4p

"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRPNvGQpEO

"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.

"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.

"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." 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGakgmwTK9m

Hermione stormed off as I turned to look at Harry and Ron. "That was really mean, you two. She was just trying to look out for you, besides...she does have a point. It's really risky..." I said.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0tCGVCnHY

"Well, I'm going to go check up on Neville and see if he's ok." I said as I stood up. "See you too later...be careful!" I added as an afterthought.
