Harry has been at Hogwarts for around two weeks when he finds out that the Gryffindors will have flying lessons with the Slytherins, much to his disliking. Harry does not want to spend more time with Malfoy than he has to. [“Quidditch Anthem” by The Sweetwater All Stars]; [“Quidditch is My Favorite Sport” by The Parselmouths] However, Harry finds that he is quite a natural at flying. [“Don’t Go Pushin My Friends Around” by Eyes Like Mine] Madam Hooch leads the class, gently sending the new fliers off the ground. Neville has an accident when his broom runs amok and breaks his wrist. [“Neville Longbottom” by Slytherin Soundtrack] Madam Hooch takes him to the hospital, telling everyone to stay on the ground while she is away. Malfoy notices a Remembrall belonging to Neville, picks it up, and begins to fly around with it. [“Scrape the Sun” by Draco and the Malfoys] Harry goes after Malfoy, who throws the ball in the air. Harry catches it spectacularly and lands safely back on ground. Just then, Professor McGonagall arrives, reprimanding Harry and ordering him to follow her. [“Quidditch Stuff” by Defense Against the Dark Marks] But instead of punishing him, McGonagall introduces him to Oliver Wood, captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and makes him the Gryffindor team’s new Seeker.

At dinner, Harry excitedly tells Ron about joining the Quidditch team but tells him that Wood wants it to be a secret. Malfoy comes over with his cronies Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle and teases Harry about getting in trouble earlier. The tension grows and Malfoy challenges Harry to a wizard’s duel. [“Midnight Duel” by Ollivander] Harry accepts, in spite of Hermione’s attempt to dissuade them from breaking the school rules. As Harry and Ron sneak out later that night, Hermione tries to stop them but gets locked out of the dorm (the Fat Lady has gone for an evening stroll) and must tag along. Neville also joins them, as he has forgotten the password to the common room and ended up sleeping on the floor outside. They arrive at the Trophy Room, the site of the duel, but Malfoy is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, they hear Argus Filch and his cat, Mrs. Norris, enter the room. [“Ms. Norris” by Harry and the Potters] With it obvious that Malfoy tricked them, they begin to hide and then run away. [“Alohomora” by Harry and the Potters] Not sure where they are going, they accidentally end up in the forbidden area on the third floor, staring at a large and scary three-headed dog. [“Fluffy” by Harry and the Potters] The children manage to get back to their dorm safely, though they are terrified. Hermione reprimands Harry but stirs his curiosity by pointing out that the dog was standing on a trapdoor. [“Up on the Third Floor” by Slytherin Soundtrack]
