"You know you love someone when you want them to be happy, even if their happiness means that you aren't part of it."

"And she has spotted the Snitch!" Lee Jordans voice echoed for every Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and some Gryffindors and Slytherins students, who had gathered together to watch the semi-finals game: Hufflepuff versus Ravenclaw, to hear.

"Hmm, now seems like Diggory has spotted it too. Well, its way easier when someone else did it first, huh?"

All the students silenced theirselves in order to focus on the two distant seekers, who had just dived for the shiny golden ball.

"And thats another 10 points to Hufflepuff. Yeah, they seem to be practically in a tie. 180 - 160 to Hufflepuff"

The Ravenclaw seeker said something to her fellow, and currently, Hufflepuff collegue, to which he replied with a face as determined as hers.

And before anyone could have said "Nearly-Headless-Nick", she wasnt flying next to Diggory anymore.

"...So you really should contact Fred and George Weasley, for they – Oy! What was that?" It wasnt necessary for Lee to say anything at all concerning what he had just noticed, for the students hadnt even blinked while watching both seekers fight in the cloudless sky for the tiny ball.

"Sempiterda has fallen off her broom! Wow, this must have been her first! Never saw that happen before. Oh, and whats that? Davies is flying down to help her" Everyone looked aprehensive, while follwing the Captain of Ravenclaws team make his way towards the ground, with their eyes. "Err- Is it only me, or is Roger...hugging her? Sorry guys, but this is a serious game, no PDA please...Save it for tonight!" He joked to easy the atmosphere, earning many laughs from his fellows horgwartians.

"Jordan!" McGonagall yelled loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Oh- err sorry professor" He cleaned his throat "But wait! Theres something in her hand.. " He squeezed his eyes "Yes students! Pax Sempiterna has caught the Snitch!" Madam Hooch blew the whistle "Ravenclaw is official on the finals! Congratulations, team!"

The prolonged branch which supported all the Ravenclaws ovationated the seeker, whilst the Hufflepuffs grunted at their defeat.

Gryffindors were looking a bit worried, and the Slytherins couldnt care less.

"And be prepared" Jordan went on. "for you'll have to beat the best tea- So what if we still have to play against Slytherin, professor McGonagall? Its only obvious that we will-"

"Enough, Jordan!" And after this harsh interruption, his sterio voice was no longer audiable.

"Excellent Pax! Youve made us to the finals! Not to mention the way you did it...I mean, throwing youserlf like that..You sure you arent hurt?" Roger Davies asked worriedly and enthusiastically at the same time.

The brown-haired girls features mirrored the latter, smiling proudly to anyone who would pass by her.

"Nuh, just a few scratches" She responded modestly. "It was worth it! Have you seen the Hufflepuff faces? They were devastated!" She chuckled gently.

"If Ive seen it? I almost died for laughing so hard!"

"Yeah! And what about Cedrics? Even funnier" At this comment from Bradley Huggens, Pax contented face faded a little.

"Do you think I should speak to him?" She asked concerned. She has always been a good friend of Cedrid Diggory, even though they are in different years. He might have probably been her best friend, if it wasnt for Roger, who she was quite fond of. People didnt know what to spread rumors about: Was she Cedrics girlfrield? Rogers? Had she truly been spotted making out in a dark corridor with one of them? Whatever the rumor was, Pax didnt seem to mind at all, for she believes, as she always says that "You wouldnt worry so much about what people say about you, if you only knew how little they did"

"Not really. Hell get over it, after all, he ought to accept that there are better seekers than himself" Roger declared rather unhappily at Cedrics name been brought about to the conversation.

Pax has always wondered why Roger looked like he hated Cedric so much, but never really gathered the audacity to ask.

"Im not better than him" She replied kindly "Im just prossibly luckier than him"

"Oh, dont even-" But her best mate was cut off before finishing his sentence.

"Uh, so you are Pax Sempiterna" A cold voice aknowledged her, sending chills right up Paxs spine. She didnt know why though, perhaps because she had felt the evil in this blond-haired, icy-eyed, tall boy behind them.

She turned slowly, as did everyone else, somewhat bewildered as to why someone would say her name aloud like that, and curiousity getting the best of her.

"That would be me. And you are?" She said using this same tone. The blond figure was standing in between two overweightly boys. A shadow passed the boys feature, which disappeared seconds later.

"I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" He came closer, and hesitated before giving her his hand to shake it. Roger glared at him. "A pureblood, I suppose"

She looked a little offended by the question, for she noted the pride in his voice when he asked for her blood line, and just couldnt stand any sort of prejudice near her. She nodded her head, and then, he finally shook her hand, smirking "Great game" he complimented her afterwards.

"Thanks" She thanked him politely.

"Anyway, If I were you, I wouldnt be that thrilled already" He started, taking a step backwards. She hated the way every word he spoke sounded like he thought he was superior than everyone else.

"And whys that?" She asked somewhat caressly, as she wondered why she had never seen the bugger before in her life.

"Because now we all have brand-new broomsticks, thats why. Oh, and yes" he paused for what she thought was a dramatic effect "because I have joined the team"

She wanted to turn and leave immediately after that. Draco was way more than just repugnant, he was low, self-centered, and extremely spoiled.

"Which position?" She couldnt help but ask, though. His smirk grew larger.

"Seeker"

They both eyed each other intensely. Pax for she could not believe her ears. What happened to Terence Higgs? She asked herself.

And Draco for he was interested in the porcelain-faced girl, and what her reaction would be.

Unable to stand this pointless conversation any longer, Pax just shook her head and turned her back on him "C'mon guys, lets just celebrate our victory in the Commom room"

Evidently Draco did not expect this reaction, as he lamely tried to retaliate to her mature decision. "Dont reckon you will be so lucky the next game. And if you happen to be, just be aware of the fact that it takes much more than just luck to beat the Slytherins, and especially the Great Draco Malfoy" He finished satisfied.

For his utter surprise, though, the Ravenclaw girl glanced back at him, and threw Draco her best smile, leaving him standing in the corridor, next to his croonies, looking bewildered and pleased at the same time.
