Chapter 7

The next day Harry felt nervous as he changed into his Quidditch robes.

"Don't worry, Harry. She has to talk to you before the game." Ron said encouragingly. He was the keeper for the Gryffindor team.

Harry looked at him and said hopefully, "Yeah, you're right."

The whole team assembled around Harry, who was the captain.

"We need to beat Ravenclaw if we want to win the House Cup. Everyone keep their guards up and we'll do fine." He said.

He looked at his watch, "Let's go."

They all filed out of the room. When they reached on the field, the Ravenclaw Quidditch players were already there waiting.

Harry saw Cho standing behind Robert Shart, who was the Ravenclaw Beater.

He made his way to her, "Hi." He greeted her.

Cho looked up at him angrily, "You have some nerve coming by me. I never want to speak to you again, Harry!" She growled throwing a ball of paper at his face.

"Wha-?" Harry barely had time to react.

Cho turned on her heel and walked away.

He picked up the paper and opened it. It said:

Cho,

       I just wanted to tell you that I'm very happy with Hermione. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. We're going to get married after our 7th year. I hope you can come.

       The only reason I went out with you was because Ron dared me. Plus, it amused Hermione tremendously to see you falling for me. By the way, she says hi.

                                                                                                Bye.

                                                                                                Harry

Harry looked up. He didn't get a chance to think the letter over because Madame Hooch blowed the whistle and said, "Mount your broom everyone!"

The game has begun.

Cho was the Seeker for the Ravenclaw team. She felt so disoriented, 'It's all because of Harry's letter.' She thought flying over one of the golden hoops.

She glanced at Harry who was on the other side of the field. He kept looking at her every few minutes.

After her anger faded away, she felt sad. Harry was one of the nicest people at Hogswart. She just couldn't believe that he would be so mean.

"Cho! Watch out!" Ryan Hills, the Chaser exclaimed.

Cho quickly swerved to the left to avoid a collision with a bludger. Her heart was pounding, 'That was terribly close.' She thought.

 "Thanks, Ryan." She said.

Ryan nodded his head in acknowledgement and hit a bludger. It flew to the other side of the field…towards Harry!

"Harry!" Cho exclaimed, but the wind carried her voice in the other direction.

Ginny Weasley, who was floating near Harry, pointed at the bludger.

Harry quickly dove, nearly missing the bludger.

Cho sighed relieved. She couldn't believe that Harry still had this affect on her; she was supposed to be moving on and forgetting about him. Instead, she found herself liking him even more.

The Gryffindors scored two goals in a span of five minutes.

She flew higher into the air, feeling the cool breeze in her face. 'I wish I could fly forever.' She thought. Suddenly, she saw something gold flickering near the ground, the Snitch!

She dove towards the grass. She could hear the audience roar with excitement.

As she got closer to the grass her face flushed, 'Oh, how horribly embarrassing.' She thought as she flew upwards again.

Harry hovered a few feet away from her; he flew after her when she saw the Snitch.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Er…" Cho felt the heat warm every part of her body, "It was just somebody's old watch." She muttered flying upward, not waiting for Harry to respond.

'Ugh! He must think I'm so stupid!' Cho thought stopping close to Ryan.

"I hate that Potter." She heard him say aloud to himself. She did a double take; she saw this wild look in his eyes. She knew that Ryan had a crush on her, but she never pursued it. She only considered him a friend, nothing more, nothing less.

She watched in slow motion as Ryan hit the bludger in Harry's direction again.

Harry swerved upwards and glared at Ryan.

"Stop it!" Cho screamed flying right next to Ryan.

Ryan acted as if he didn't even notice her presence. He moved to the right and hit another bludger.

She flew next to him again, she was about to scream at him again, but then she heard a loud whizzing noise.

Cho turned her head and saw a bludger approaching her. Her reflex was one second too late, as she moved to the right the bludger hit the back of her broom.

The force of the bludger threw Cho off her broom. She started falling, the last thing she heard was someone scream out, "The Snitch!" Then, she blanked out.
