This week, I read about Harry and his first time on a broom. Draco Malfoy had stolen Neville's crystal ball that shows what you forgot that day. Malfoy had taken it and Harry wanted to take it back. Malfoy wasn't going easy on him and jumped on his broom and took off. Harry, who was extremely determined, jumped on his and took off as well. This was Harry's first time so every body was shocked to see that he was flying so well. After Harry got Neville's ball back, Professor McGonagall called him to follow her. Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherins were snickering as he walked behind her. Harry thought he was in so much trouble. But it turns out that Professor McGonagall was very impressed at Harry since that was his first time flying. Professor McGonagall introduced Harry to a Quidditch player, a popular sport. Professor also told Harry that he looked and acted just like his father.

I also read about the meeting of Harry and Professor Severus Snape. Professor Snape hates Harry because Harry is a Gryffindor. Professor Snape is head of Slytherin. It is rumor that Snape follows Lord Voldemort a.k.a He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named. Snape would always ask Harry the hardest questions and expects him to know them all. But of course Hermoine knows the answers to all of them.
