Summary
Harry is upset by news that the Gryffindors will have flying lessons with the
Slytherins, because he does not want to spend more time with his Slytherin
enemy Draco Malfoy. Madam Hooch leads the class, gently sending the new
fliers off the ground. Neville has an accident and breaks his wrist. Madam Hooch
takes him to the hospital, telling everyone to stay on the ground while she is
away. Malfoy notices a magic ball belonging to Neville, picks it up, and begins to
fly around with it. 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. But
instead of punishing him, McGonagall introduces him to Oliver Wood, captain of
the Gryffindor Quidditch team, explaining that Harry will make an excellent
Quidditch player.
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 Crabbe
and Goyle and teases Harry about getting in trouble earlier. The tension grows
and Malfoy challenges Harry to a wizard’s duel. Harry accepts, despite
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 and must tag along. Neville, wandering around lost, also joins
them. They arrive at the trophy room, the site of the duel, but Malfoy is nowhere
to be found. Suddenly, they hear Argus Filch, the school caretaker, and his cat,
Mrs. Norris, enter the room. They begin to hide and then run away. 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. 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.
