[[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; sheHermione apparently believes that attacking rats is normal cat behavior and there is only circumstantial evidence that Crookshanks killed Scabbers. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]], however,agrees disagreeswith Ron, given the physical evidence and Crookshanks' history of attacking Scabbers. Hermione, claiming Harry always sides with Ron, storms off. Ron takes the loss hard, and not even [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|the Twins]]' reminding him that he thought Scabbers was useless (mere days before) consoles him. Finally, Harry invites him to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Quidditch|Quidditch practice]], offering him a chance to ride his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Brooms|Firebolt]], which cheers him up a bit.
 
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, pullsdraws his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Wands|wand]] and summons a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expecto Patronum|Patronus]], sending it at the Dementors. Then he blasts ahead of Cho to grab the Snitch, winning the game.
 
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.
 
TerrifyingTerrified screams awaken Harry. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]] has slashed Ron's bed curtains and is standing over him with a knife. Harry, chasing Sirius, sprints down to the common room as other Gryffindors emerge from their dormitories. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Percy Weasley|Percy]] orders everyone back to bed, and is ignored amidst the revelations. Professor McGonagall arrives and asks [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sir Cadogan|Sir Cadogan]] how Black got in. Sir Cadogan states proudly that he allowed a man in because he had the passwords — a whole list of them. Livid, McGonagall demands to know who was stupid enough to write down all the passwords and then lose the list. A shamed-faced [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]] raises his hand.
 
== Analysis ==
 
Harry is unable to seetake the time to look at his own Patronus' shape, but Lupin's reaction to it isseems odd,significant. though despiteDespite his being visibly shaken, he composes himself enough to congratulate Harry. If, as seems likely given Lupin's reaction, Harry successfully conjured a corporeal Patronus, then nearly everyone in the Quidditch pitch now knows he can produce one and what form it takes. However, only Lupin seems to understand the shape's significance.
 
Even though Draco and his cohorts were disguised as the Dementors, Harry, believing they were real, was unaffected by them. However, when he faced the Boggart in its Dementor form, despite knowing it was a fake Dementor, Harry was affected enough that he again heard his mother's screams and fainted. This would stronglycould suggest Harry is gradually overcoming his fears, even though real Dementors would likely still affect him.
 
Unable to remember the numerous new passwords, Neville had made a list and then apparently lost it, allowingas we saw in the previous chapter. This of course allowed Black to find and use it to enter the Gryffindor dormitory. The repercussions are severe: Neville is humiliated before his classmates and punished by McGonagall, further eroding his already fragile self-confidence. Though McGonagall is quite right that keeping such a list was a bad idea, expecting any student to memorize the numerous and constantly-changing passwords seems unfair.
 
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 maywould indicateseem thatout somethingof ischaracter behind herin inappropriateearlier behaviorbooks. Being that she has just patched things up with Ron and Harry, she may be reluctant to admit to anything that could threaten their repaired friendship. Another factor is that Hermione's stubborn nature causes her to rarely, if ever, believe she is wrong, and there is no absolute proof that Scabbers is actually dead rather than missing. However, the key factor here seems to be that Hermione, increasingly tired and shrill, is clearly undersuffering mucha tremendous amount of stress from her studies. Considering she has always easily been at the top of her class, this is difficult to understand, though having to prepare [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Buckbeak|Buckbeak]]'s appeal, which Ron and Harry had promised to help with but had quickly lost interest in, is also adding to her stressworkload.
 
Harry has his first encounter with Ravenclaw's Seeker, Cho Chang, the first girl he is strongly attracted to. Harry ''"felt a slight jolt in the region of his stomach that he didn't think had anything to do with nerves."'' Cho is pretty and also a good flier, who, at least once, thwarts Harry for the Snitch despite having a slower broom. This may make her even more attractive to Harry.
 
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 gavehad said she was going to give it to Madam Hooch and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Filius Flitwick|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.-->
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.

# 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: [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] writing to say that Buckbeak lost his final appeal and is to be executed. The Trio reunite to visit Hagrid, against his instructions, to support and comfort him.
 
ThisAs a side note, it may be worth mention that this is also Harry's first and only game against Ravenclaw. His many adventures throughout the series alwayshave causesresulted himin tohis missmissing playing against them until this book, and will prevent his playing Ravenclaw again during his school career.
