"Hey guys!" Melody walked up to Leona, Dylan and I. It was the 10th and we were walking to the pitch with our brooms. "I thought the match wasn't til the 16th?"   
"There was a notice up. Practise is today." Explained Dylan.   
"Oh sorry, I didn't see it." She quickly sprinted away and came back with her Cleansweep.   
"OK, everyone's here." Madam Hooch said. "We're going to play this like a normal match but we won't be against anyone. When I blow my whistle, the balls will go. After five seconds, I will blow it again and you can go."  
She blew it once. And again.  
I took off at once, looking for the shiny Golden Snitch. I saw movement by Hufflepuff's spectator box. I flew over but it took off again. Then, I got closer and closer I flew swiftly towards the Commentary Box, I was an inch away.   
Squeak.    
The metal made a screech and I looked up. Zachary was on his broom, holding the Snitch in the air.   
"You shouldn't of caught it." I told him coldly.    
"I am Seeker of Gryffindor."  
"It was only a Ravenclaw practise."  
"I thought it was a match." He lied.    
"You would think someone that good at Charms would know the date." I retorted.      
"Don't care."   
"Zachary, that was very unfair!" Madam Hooch scolded when he came back down to earth. "Everybody, reset. We will be trying again."  
She blew once. Twice. 
But both me and Zachary flew off.  
"Violet, please get the nearest Professor." Madam Hooch ordered.   
Everyone stopped on their brooms to watch. Violet had to go to Snape. "Professor, please can you tell Zachary that Ravenclaws should be practicing for the match today?"    
"I don't see why he shouldn't be." Snape said coldly.        
"Ravenclaws can have their hour now and Gryffindors can have theirs after." Came Dumbledore's voice. "Mr King, please come down."   
Zachary tutted and flew down.    
For the next three goes we had, I caught the Snitch, but not as fast as I would have done if Zachary hadn't come along.    
The next five days flew past as fast as the Snitch and all too soon, it was time for the match against Gryffindor.
