[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Scabbers|Scabbers]]' apparent demise at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Crookshanks|Crookshanks']] claws appears to have ended [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]]'s friendship. Ron feels Hermione is unsympathetic and fails to take responsibility;
Arriving at the Quidditch pitch, Harry meets the team and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rolanda Hooch|Madam Hooch]], who has been delegated to guard Harry during practice. She is as entranced by the Firebolt as the Gryffindor common room was, and soliloquizes about it until [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Oliver Wood|Oliver]] reminds her they have to practice. And it is a magnificent practice. Inspired by the Firebolt, everyone works so well that Oliver does not have a single criticism—a first for him. Oliver asks Harry again about his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementor]] problem, and Harry replies, a bit untruthfully, that he has mastered the spell. As practice breaks up, Ron flies the Firebolt into the darkening sky. Madam Hooch awakens, reprimands Harry and Ron for letting her fall asleep, and sends them to the castle. Along the way, Harry thinks he sees a pair of eyes watching him. Ron casts the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Lumos|Lumos charm]] to reveal Crookshanks. Harry does not want to admit that he thought it might be a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Grim|Grim]].
The Quidditch match is the next morning. The Gryffindors form an honor guard and carry the Firebolt down to breakfast. Students from the other Houses, including Ravenclaw, come over to check it out, including [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]] who, as expected, makes a wisecrack. The team head for the Quidditch pitch. Oliver mentions Ravenclaw's new Seeker, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cho Chang|Cho Chang]], saying she is good, but is riding a slower broom, a Comet Two-Sixty. Harry notices she is pretty. Madam Hooch blows her whistle, and the match is on. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lee Jordan|Lee Jordan]] is commentating, but repeatedly lapses into descriptions of the Firebolt, for which he gets a stern warning. Harry spots and loses the Snitch several times, finally seeing it by the Gryffindor goalposts. When he accelerates for it, so does Cho, but she gasps and points downwards. Harry, seeing three Dementors on the field,
In the ensuing celebrations on the field, a visibly shaken [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Remus Lupin|Professor Lupin]] comments that Harry produced quite the Patronus. Harry says the Dementors had not affected him, but Lupin says they were not Dementors. It was actually Draco Malfoy, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vincent Crabbe|Crabbe]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gregory Goyle|Goyle]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Marcus Flint|Marcus Flint]] disguised in Dementor-like robes (with Draco and Goyle having shared a robe, to appear larger). [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] berates them soundly and deducts House points.
The Gryffindors celebrate in the common room, and Fred and George hand out treats from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Honeyduke's Sweetshop|Honeyduke's]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/The Three Broomsticks|The Three Broomsticks]]. Hermione, who has 422 pages of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle Studies|Muggle Studies]] to read before Monday, does not join the party. Ron comments loudly that Scabbers would have liked to be there, causing Hermione to depart crying. Harry asks Ron to cut her some slack, but Ron refuses until she shows some remorse about Scabbers. The party lasts until Professor McGonagall appears, at one A.M., and sends everyone to bed.

Harry is unable to
Even though Draco and his cohorts were disguised as
Unable to remember the numerous new passwords, Neville had made a list and then apparently lost it,
Ron was terrified by his encounter with Sirius Black, but Black’s behavior in Gryffindor Tower belies his mass murderer record. Though he slashes Ron’s curtains with a knife, neither Ron nor Harry are harmed, though Black had every opportunity to do so. They wonder why, when Ron yelled, Sirius bolted. Presuming Sirius was targeting Harry, it would have been simple enough for such a vicious killer to permanently silence Ron and swiftly move on his real target in the next bed. What stopped him?
Meanwhile, a new rift develops between Ron and Hermione. Hermione's refusal to express sympathy or take responsibility for Scabbers' apparent death
Harry has his first encounter with Ravenclaw's Seeker, Cho Chang, the first girl he is
Also, Madam Hooch's rhapsodizing about the Firebolt actually feels quite misplaced. Readers may not understand why, but they should be somewhat disturbed by it all the same. Looking back [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 11|two chapters earlier]], we see that when Professor McGonagall confiscated the broom, she
This is also Harry's first and only game against Ravenclaw. His many adventures throughout the series always causes him to miss playing against them.▼
▲Also, Madam Hooch's rhapsodizing about the Firebolt actually feels quite misplaced. Readers may not understand why, but they should be somewhat disturbed by it all the same. Looking back [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 11|two chapters earlier]], we see that when Professor McGonagall confiscated the broom, she gave it Madam Hooch and Professor Flitwick to examine for hidden jinxes. Thus, Madam Hooch has been working with the broom for almost four months, from late December to mid-April, which is certainly enough time for the (non-magical) charm to have worn off.<!--A good point! Glad you added this.-->

# Remus Lupin congratulates Harry on the strong Patronus he conjures during the Quidditch game, but its form surprises Lupin (although its shape remains unknown to readers). What form might it have taken and why was Lupin so affected by it?
# Why was Harry so strongly affected by the Boggart, knowing that it was not a real Dementor, but, during the Quidditch game, he feels no effect at all when he thinks the fake Dementors are real?

Harry's Patronus is later revealed as a stag. At this point, only three people understand its significance; Sirius Black, Professor Lupin, and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Peter Pettigrew]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|James Potter's]] school friends, would recognize the stag as James' [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Animagus|Animagus]] form. Of the three, Lupin is the only one known to be present. Pettigrew is currently probably hiding in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]'s hut, and while Sirius has been seen earlier watching Harry play Quidditch, there is no mention of him in this instance.
That Harry can produce a corporeal Patronus in his third year at Hogwarts shows that, if properly motivated, he can perform advanced-level magic. The Patronus charm is normally taught to sixth or seventh-year students. In Harry's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 16|fifth year]], many students seem awed by Harry's ability to perform this charm. One might wonder why they are surprised, having quite possibly seen the Patronus here on the Quidditch pitch. It is, of course, possible that the students who are most surprised by Harry's ability either were looking at something else and failed to notice the white and misty stag, or if they saw, were unaware what it was.

It will be discovered later that Black, in his Animagus form, won Crookshanks' confidence. Crookshanks then stole the password list from Neville, giving it to Black. It is uncertain why Crookshanks was unable to inform Black that Scabbers had disappeared, though as there were only two days between Scabbers' disappearance and Black's attack, it is quite possible that they simply had not had a chance to communicate.
The rift between Ron and Hermione will be mended only by an outside event:
