Yeah! Here's the new chapter!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was about to intervene with a spell to release the bludger from Dobby's control, I decided to take a good look at the little elf who was wearing rags, and as I had my Magic Vision on, I could see his magic.

'What?' that's what I thought.

The magic I was seeing in Dobby was weak and messy, as if it was at odds with Dobby's body, completely different from the magic I saw in Linnly, my house-elf, and also in the house-elves at Hogwarts.

As I've said before, the magic of elves relies heavily on the magic of their masters, so I'm not surprised to see Dobby with his magic so messed up, but that's still sad.

'Wait... Since I changed the future, does that mean that Dobby won't be able to be free?' I wondered.

Looking at Dobby, who was looking sad as he tried to hit Harry with the bludger, I couldn't help but realize that my interference may have saved a lot of people, but it also hurt someone.

Alternating between looking at Harry, Dobby and the bludger, I started to think.

'Wait... I know of a way to free Dobby!' I thought excitedly. I then looked at Harry with a pitying look, 'Sorry Harry, but you're going to have to suffer a little this time'

With a plan formed in my mind, I lowered my hand that was ready to cast a spell and went back to watching the match.

As I decided not to change the events of the match, the game continued the way I remembered it with minimal changes, such as the twins having faster brooms.

"Am I the only one who thinks that bludger is weird?" Stephen asked.

"If it goes on like this that bludger is going to hit Potter" Michael commented, and when he said that we could hear a crack from the sky above that wasn't a thunder, and looking at the source of the sound we saw Harry holding his right arm that had just be hit by the bludger.

"I should shut my mouth" Michael said.

With the rain pouring down on Harry, I could see him fast-forward with his broom towards Malfoy, but I could also see that he was barely able to hold on to his broom, as one of his arms was broken and the other he was stretching forward.

I then saw him advance with his arm outstretched, past Malfoy, only he was also heading towards the ground.

I may not have stopped the bludger from breaking his arm, but I won't allow him to get hurt anymore.

I then got up from my seat, pulled out my wand, and used two spells that came to my mind that seemed most suited to helping Harry in this situation.

"{Arresto Momentum}!, {Molliare}!" I exclaimed, casting a spell to slow Harry's fall and another to cushion the ground.

Luckily my spells were quick enough to get to Harry and the ground before he went down.

Even with me slowing the speed of Harry's fall, he still hit the ground taking dirt and mud with him.

Harry then rolled a little across the muddy lawn until he was lying on his back. He then sat down with one of his arms bent at an awkward angle, but he still had the strength to raise his good hand with the Snitch to show that Gryffindor had won.

Harry then passed out, and the students in the stands didn't know whether to cheer or not, but when we saw the rest of the Gryffindor team land next to Harry, some of us, mostly the Gryffindors, got up to go to the pitch.

As I was faster and more agile, I managed to be one of the first to reach the pitch, almost at the same time as the other Gryffindors, who were closer.

Looking to the side I saw that Fred and George were trying to store the altered bludger that was struggling trying to get out of their hands.

Taking my wand out of its holster I cast a {Finite} on the bludger which made him calm down. With a quick look around I saw Dobby disappear, with him looking sadly at Harry.

"Phew!...Thanks Ethan, I don't know what happened to that bludger" Fred, who had managed to store the Bludger in the trunk, said to me as he came to my side.

"And nice catch, if you hadn't slowed down and cushioned Harry's fall then we'd probably have had to look for another Seeker" George said jokingly, but I could hear the gratitude and concern in his voice.

"No need to thank me, Harry is my friend too" I said.

"Oh no, not you" as we were approaching the group that was surrounding Harry, we heard him groan painfully.

"He doesn't know what he's saying" said Lockhart, "Don't worry Harry, I'll fix your arm in a moment" he said, taking out his wand.

As with the bludger, I wasn't going to stop Lockhart from disappearing Harry's arm bones either, as for my plan to work I would need Harry to spend the night in the Hospital Wing.

But that doesn't mean I can't make Lockhart suffer a little for this stupid act.

Him walking around the castle as if he were Merlin is one thing, now trying to do something you obviously have no knowledge of just to show off, and ending up harming a student is inadmissible.

When Lockhart was getting ready to disappear Harry's bones I used my Magic Vision to analyze the spell he was going to cast, as I didn't know that spell.

Wandless and non-verbal, I discreetly copied the magical movements and fluctuations of the bone-disappearing spell, and without anyone noticing I cast the spell on Lockhart himself, disappearing with the bones in his wand arm.

"Well, that can sometimes happen, but the important point is that now your arm..." Lockhart started to say, but he started to feel that something was wrong.

He then looked at his wand arm and saw that like Harry's arm, his was completely limp.

"!" Lockhart looked at his arm with wide eyes. His eyes then rolled back and he passed out.

...

...

...

...

"What?" a fourth year Gryffindor said, voicing the thoughts of everyone in the pitch, and meanwhile I had a more than satisfied smile on my face.

'Okay, I think I'm a bit sadistic' I thought.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that strange incident at the Quidditch pitch, Ron and Granger helped Harry to the Hospital Wing, and along with them were two fifth year students who were carrying an unconscious Lockhart.

After the entire Gryffindor team visited Harry in the Hospital Wing, I found the twins and they told me that Lockhart will have to spend a whole day with his arm deboned, as Madam Pomfrey only had one bottle of Skele-Gro, but the twins also said that she was probably lying and this was her way of punishing Lockhart for his stupidity.

Since Lockhart wasn't going to drink the Skele-Gro potion just yet, so he didn't have to stay in the Hospital Wing, which is a disappointment, as I wanted to take advantage of this moment when he would be helpless to play pranks on him.

But well, at least with that I wouldn't have to worry about Lockhart when I go to the Hospital Wing at night, and that's also a good thing because with Lockhart in the Hospital Wing my plan might fail as Dobby might decide not to visit Harry to look after him as it was too risky.

Knowing that I had a few hours before nightfall where I would go to the Hospital Wing, I decided that I was going to use that time in the Room of Requirement as I needed to do some things that would help me complete my plan to free Dobby.

End.

(End AN: You may not know it, but I really like the Percy Jackson franchise, and I'm really excited about this new series that's coming out based on the books.

I watched the movies before I read the books, and even though I see a lot of flaws in the movies, I still like them. I hope the series gives me the same feeling that the movies gave me when I watched them in my childhood.)
