I've made Spencer turn into an eagle instead of a black mamba.

Nova's POV

It's November ninth and time for the first quidditch match of the season. It's been quiet since the troll break in. Aries, B and I have been focusing on our studies. Along with learning how to become animagi. Spencer and Mac even should us their forms. Mac is a full black howler monkey whose eyes match his human ones. Spencer is a tawny eagle, which is so cool. I can't wait to become an animagus.

Aries has been watching the gryffindors train every night and even demonstrated his flying skills. Oliver said if he kept it up, he'd make Aries a reserve player next year. Which Aries is thrilled about. B has taken responsibility to over-see the Animagus potion process when we're ready. He has been studying the recipe like crazy and is diffidently the top in Potions out of the three of us.

Me, well I am still competing with Hermione for top of Transfiguration. I've been teaching Angel tricks. Spencer is doing the same with Blackie. We are competing to see who can teach their dog the most tricks by Christmas break. Which we'll all be going home for. At least that's the current plan. Mac has been training his team hard as they'd be playing in the second match of the year against Hufflepuff in a couple of weeks.

Hermione, Harry and Ron are best friends now. She helps them study. All six of us hang out together. We've sort of become a party, we six are almost always together. Except when my brothers and I are pranking. Or Hermione, Aries and I are doing extra studies. Or Harry is a quidditch practice. Which all the boys go to watch. It feels like we've been friends forever.

Mac and Spencer are happy we've made such good friends. Harry and Ron were unsure about meeting Spencer as he is slytherin. But they like him now after he helped them with their potions essay. They were also unsure about meeting Mac as he is captain of a rival quidditch team. But when they started talking national teams and Mac gave Harry a book to read about quidditch, they got along great.

Anyway, we're all having breakfast before the match begins. Well everyone except Harry that is. I think his nerves are getting to him. He's gotten a new broom yesterday, a Nimbus 2000. "Take a bit of toast, mate, go on" Ron tells Harry.

"Ron's right, Harry. You're gonna need your strength today" Hermione adds.

"I'm not hungry" Harry tells them.

"It's normal to be nervous before your first match" Mac states as he joins us. "Merlin, I was" he states. As Spencer appears.

"He nearly fainted when the bludgers were released" Spencer chuckles.

"What happened?" Harry asks me.

"Once the match began and I got the quaffle. All my nerves disappeared and all that mattered was the game" Mac tells him.

"You can do this Harry, we believe in you" I tell him. Aries and B nod their heads in agreement. Suddenly Professor Snape appears behind Harry.

"Good luck today, Potter. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you. Even if it is against Slytherin" he states and limps away.

"That explains the blood" Harry states.

"Blood?" Aries and Hermione ask him.

"Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that 3 headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping" Harry suggests.

"There's a three headed dog in school?" B asks intrigued. He has always had a facination with magical creatures. Especially dragons and other dangerous creatures.

"There is on the third floor, we've seen it" Ron answers.

"But why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione asks them.

"The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts' business, very secret" Harry tells us.

"So you're saying..." Hermione says.

"That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants" he states.

"Even if you're right, who is gonna believe a first year or even a group of first years over a teacher?" Aries asks him.

"Focus on the match, I'll keep an eye on my head of house" Spencer tells us.

"Harry, time to head down to the pitch!" Oliver calls. Harry nods and gets up. He leaves with the rest of the gryffindor team.

"Think he'll be ok?" I ask.

"Of course, his father was a quidditch player during his team here at Hogwarts" Hermione states.

"Besides, Harry is a natural on a broom-stick. Madame Hooch said so" Aries reminds us.

"We should head down if we want to get good seats" Ron states. We all agree and leave the great hall. Mac left to go join his team, they were gonna discuss strategy while watching the match. Spencer went to sit with his house mates. While the rest of us sat with our house.

"Hello! And welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game, Slytherin vs. Gryffindor!" Lee Jordan announces as both teams step out onto the quidditch pitch. The players take their positions in the air in a circle. "The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game!" he declares.

"Now, I want a nice, clean game from all of you!" Madame Hooch states. Eyeing the slytherins in particular, from what I've heard they cheat a lot. She kicks the trunk, and the Bludgers zoom out, followed by the golden snitch.

"The Bludgers are up, followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember, the Snitch is worth 150 points. The Seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game" Lee explains. Hooch grabs the Quaffle and tosses it into the air. "The Quaffle is released and the game begins!" he declares. As gryffindor take position of the quaffle first.

Gryffindor scores the first two goals of the match. Earning twenty points for gryffindor. That's when the Slytherins decide to get dirty. They dodge, kick, and try to score. Once again, Oliver blocks the quaffle. He truly is a superb keeper. Marcus Flint (Slytherin captain) grabs a beaters bat from one and whacks a Bludger right at Oliver. It hits Oliver directly in the stomach and he plummets to the ground, knocked out.

This causes the entire audience to boo as Gryffindor is awarded a penalty shot. Which Angelina puts through the slytherin hoop. But then Slytherin scored their first goal of the match. Causing their house to cheer. Suddenly Harry's broom starts to try throw him off, I heard Hermione say something about someone jinxing it before she disappeared.

"B, Nova counter jinx" Aries tells us. We nod our heads and draw our wands. We all point them at Harry keeping eye contact and start to mutter the general counter jinx. The broom slows, but still attempts to buck Harry off. Suddenly Harry gets control again and zooms off after the slytherin seeker who had spotted the golden snitch.

I look at the current score, to see it's 60 to 20 Slytherin. Great, they managed to score another five goals while we were focused on Harry. "Come on Harry!" B yells cheering him on. We all do as he dives along with the other team's seeker. They approach the ground quickly.

The Slytherin Seeker backs out. But Harry doesn't. He pulls up his broom as he follows the Snitch, several feet above the ground. Harry stands up on his broom, and steps forward, trying to grab the snitch. He goes too far, and topples off the broom with a yelp. Tumbling on the ground. He gets up and lurches. The crowd gasps.

He coughs up the golden snitch and holds it into the air for us all to see. "He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!" Lee yells into the mic. Madame Hooch plays her whistle, signaling the end of the match.

"Gryffindor wins!" she declares. We all cheer happily for our win. It didn't mutter that slytherin got six goals. Gryffindor won, 170 to 60.

"Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor!" we chant as we head down to the pitch. As Harry is hugged by his team mates. Oliver looks over joyed that they won while he was unconscious. That night we had a party in the gryffindor common room.
