Harry winced. The bright morning sun was streaming onto the quidditch field. Today was the match against Ravenclaw, and everybody knew there wouldn't be much competition, but even so Oliver Wood was giving his usual prep speech, "Now, I won't pretend it's going to be an easy match out there. They've been training hard all week because they know how good we are, so I don't want any slacking off, here's the plan, Harry, the first move is to.." Oliver's voice trailed off. Now, this was very unusual. Taken by surprise at the sudden halt to Wood's speech, the Gryffindor Quidditch team turned to the door. It was Cho Chang. Harry turned away discreetly and blushed, staring at Oliver. Oliver was blushing too. "Madam Hooch says that you'll have to come out now, the game is starting early because Professor Dumbledore wants to watch it before going to London."

"Uhhh. th-thanks Cho Chang. Good luck in the game!" said Wood in an unusually high voice, his cheeks scarlet.

"Hey Wood," yelled Fred "Someone has a little cru-ush! I think Harry will have something to say about that" The whole team laughed (except Harry and Wood) as they moved onto their broomsticks and flew up above the ground as Madam Hooch's whistle blew.

The game was off to a rough start, with all players eager to do their best. However, despite expectations, Ravenclaw were clearly at an advantage. For some reason, Wood kept getting distracted and after 10 minutes, the score was 30 to 0. Harry had a strange feeling in his chest. Like he was annoyed at someone, but he didn't know why. He was sitting distracted on his broom, motionless except when dodging a stray bludger. Suddenly, Harry came back to the reality of the quidditch stadium as a huge roar erupted from the crowd. He looked below him and saw the Ravenclaw seeker, Cho Chang, diving towards a gold glint. A rush went through his clenched hands and he diverted his broomstick to rush head first down, down, down! Slowly, he gained on Cho Chang until finally they were level. They glanced at each other, looking back down only to realize this minute glance had made them both rush straight towards the pitch. There was a huge shriek from the crowd as impact happened, Cho Chang falling on Harry's stomach. She looked into his eyes for a second, but quickly averted them and pushed herself up on her elbows. "Cho Chang! Cho Chang! Are you okay?" Wood called, rushing over.

"Yes, I'm fine." Said Cho. At that moment Harry noticed that the little snitch had its little wings beating helplessly against Cho's fingers. He didn't care though. He was in lots of pain, and his limbs felt like they were burning. "Oliver," said Harry weakly, "I think my leg's broken." But, it appeared, Wood was too occupied in covering the less wounded seeker, Cho Chang, with a blanket. "Wood, I appreciate your concern, but I think Harry needs some attending." Was the last thing Harry heard from Cho Chang as Madam Pomfrey put him on a stretcher and levitated him towards Hogwarts castle.
