Description

Turn to Page 252, Gryffindor Versus Ravenclaw. Today’s lesson is called Animus

The chapter begins with Harry trying to manage Ron and Hermione’s anger at each other. Neither seems willing to relent, and Harry angers Hermione, too, when he suggests Crookshanks likely did kill Scabbers. The Weasleys are trying to cheer Ron up about the apparent loss of his pet, but Harry finally breaks through by suggesting Ron try out his Firebolt after Quidditch practice. The practice goes spectacularly, with Harry zipping around on his amazing new broomstick.

The morning of their match versus Ravenclaw, other students gawk at the broom, including a jealous Malfoy. When the match arrives, Harry faces off against Cho Chang, who seems determined to simply interfere with Harry catching the snitch. Eventually Harry does manage to get the snitch and win the match, even casting a patronus at some dementors (who were actually just Malfoy and other Slytherins) who were about to attack. The Gryffindors have a post-match celebration in the common room before finally getting to bed. Their sleep is interrupted, though, when Ron awakes to claim he saw Sirius Black standing over him. McGonagall is summoned to investigate, and finds that the portrait of Sir Cadogan let Black in, because he had the password on a list.
