Harry Potter: The cost of neglect

Chapter 19

No one's POV

Harry turned back to where the teachers sat.

Quirrel was watching this while Snape had his eyes closed as it looked like he was muttering something.

Harry thought for a moment that it was Snape before he remembered something he had learnt from a textbook.

If a wizard casts a curse they must always maintain eye contact with the item they are casting upon or else the spell will break.

"Snape is trying to cast a counter curse but he won't make it in time." Harry said as he turned to the others.

"The wind isn't on my side so I won't be able to make a significant move yet but Quirrel is trying to jinx my sister's broom."

"I'll take care of it, Qin Shi Huang, follow me." Hermione said and he nodded as the two of them left together.

Harry didn't even see Quirrels lips move but he continued to stare at the broom without stop confusing Harry.

"Daphne." Harry said as he turned to her as he decided this would be a bit of a lesson.

"Do you see where Quirrel is sitting?" He asked and Daphne nodded.

"He sitting in the middle row right next to Snape with teachers sitting above and below him, where would the best place to throw a knife be?" He asked.

Daphne looked at the scene before he as she thought for a moment.

"That is a trick question, throwing a knife no matter how skilled you are would raise suspicion from the teachers regardless, the best thing would be to make sure he is alone before attempting to try any form of attack on him." She said and Harry smiled nodding.

"She is learning quite well." Tobi said as he looked over at the teachers side.

"She is."

Suddenly smoke was coming from their as a small fire was started from Quirrels robes as he scrambled to put them out.

Jessies broom had stopped acting up as she got back onto it and she was off once again chasing the snitch neck and neck with the Hufflepuff seeker.

The others had returned as they now watched Jessie intensely as they watched her fly.

What happened next was a rush but it was all followed by the cheers of Ravenclaw house as they had just won.

Jessie had caught the snitch and held it in her hand as she flew to the ground with her broom.

Harry smiled as he cheered for his sister while his friends did the same.

After dinner Harry was walking with his sister.

"You were amazing out there." Harry said and his sister smiled at him before she shook her head.

"Thank you Harry, but it wasn't that impressive." She said and Harry chuckled.

"Of course it was, you managed to out fly someone who most likely had more experience flying than you have and won for your house." Harry said and Jessie shook her head.

"None of that matters to me I'm just glad you were there to watch." Jessie said and Harry smiled softly at her

"You are my sister, I wouldn't have missed it for the world." Harry said.

"Thank you Harry but anyway, the Halloween feast is coming up, are you excited there will be so much sweets!" Jessie said happily and Harry gave a laugh.

"I had forgotten how much you had liked sweets." Harry said and Jessie nodded.

"It's going to be amazing." She said and Harry shook his head before he pulled his sister into a hug surprising her.

"I never got to thank you for all those years ago...when you defended me on our birthday so thank you Jessie." Harry said quietly.

Jessie looked at him before she smiled and hugged him back.

"You're my best friend Harry and my favourite sibling, there is no question about me defending you." She said and they stayed like that for a moment before they let go.

Harry walked Jessie back to her house before he walked in the quiet of the passages on the way back to the dungeons where Slytherin was.

As he walked he felt a shooting pain from his head.

"Prepare yourself."

This was Alucard speaking to him but it was gone as quick as it arrived.

"Prepare myself for what?" He wondered before he shook his head and went back to his house and sat down on the couch as he closed his eyes.

He wanted to have a small moment of silence so he could collect his thoughts.

"Potter!"

Harry gave a frustrated sigh before he opened his eyes and looked up seeing Malfoy with Crabbe and Goyle.

"What is it now Malfoy?" Harry asked as he leaned back against the couch.

"I want you to stay away from Greengrass consider this your first warning." He said as Crabbe and Goyle cracked their knuckles while Malfoy had an arrogant smile on his face.

"Is this supposed to be some kind of threat?" Harry asked as he stood up.

He was slightly taller than Malfoy so he looked down to him.

"Malfoy are you that big of a moron?" Harry asked as he reached to his sides.

He opened his pouches pulling out two knives and looked at them as he smiled.

"Killing you would be a filthy stain on my knives." Harry said as he looked at Malfoy who was visibly shaken at the sight of the knives that Harry had taken out.

"All this big game you seem to think you are." Harry said as he looked at the knife on his left hand before nodding as he put the other away and turned to Malfoy.

"Do you know why I haven't tried anything against you?" Harry asked as he looked at Malfoy with a smile.

"Because you know I am supe-" Malfoy was cut off by Harry putting the knife against his neck before glaring at Crabbe and Goyle.

The two saw the glare and quickly left leaving only Harry and Malfoy.

"Allow me to educate you as to why."
