Turn to Page 180, Quidditch. Today’s lesson is called Seek and Ye Shall Find.
The chapter starts with our trio getting used to winter at Hogwarts, and Harry getting ready for his first quidditch match, against Slytherin house. Harry’s nerves are calmed slightly by “Quidditch Through the Ages,” a book recommended by Hermione, but Professor Snape confiscates it from Harry. When Harry asks for his book back, he finds Snape having his leg tended by Filch while complaining about the three-headed dog. This, along with Hermione and Ron seeing Snape mutter a spell as Harry’s broomstick malfunctions during his quidditch match, cause him to pile suspicion on Snape. The spell breaks in time for Harry to catch the snitch - in his mouth - and win the match for Gryffindor.
Later, our trio visits Hagrid, who denies their claims of Snape’s nefariousness, while revealing that the three-headed dog, Fluffy, belongs to him and, more importantly, guards something connected to Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.
