"By the way, you'd make a cute husky," he chuckled. "I'll see you at the match tomorrow."

"Bye," I said, giving him a smile. He nodded in response and walked back towards the castle.

My father can talk to me? But he's dead. . .


"Gryffindor caught the snitch!" Sophie's voice cried into the microphone. "Gin Cho's done it! Gryffindor wins!"

We did a victory lap before landing. Teddy embraced me and I laughed as we all congradulated eachother.

"Good job, Gin!" I cried, hugging her. She was a third year, and absolutely lethal on the broom. "You did amazing out there."

"Thanks, Hara! You and Teddy were amazing! Kept those bludgers away from the entire team!"

"Thanks," I smiled. I saw the Slytherrin team land and they stormed past us. I saw Ares wink at us, mainly me, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Come on! Party in the Common Room!" Teddy shouted.

We followed him, laughing the entire way about how some of the Slytherrin's acted in the game, and opened the door to the Common Room to find that there were streamers and everyone that was in Gryffindor was in the room, drinks in hands.

"I for one, think that I want to make a toast!" James Prix cried. He was the team captain, keeper, and dating Calisto Weaver. They were both seventh years and hard-core Quidittch players. "To the first years who did amazing today! For their first game, they were wonderful!"

"To the first year players!" we all cried, taking a drink of the pumpkin juice. Kellen and I hugged, before I found Sophie and Parker in the crowd.

"Congrats!" Sophie cried, hugging Kellen and I at the same time. Parker shook Kellen's hand and hugged me.

"How was your boyfriend when he saw you guys win?" Parker asked.

"Boyfriend?" Teddy inquired, jumping to my side. "Who's this young lad we're talking about?"

"She went on a date with Ares Zambini yesterday," Parker said smugly. Teddy choked on his pumpkin juice. "And she came back happy as can be."

"He's nice," I sighed. "You guys have to get over the house prejudice."

"He's a Slytherrin!" Kellen cried.

"He's a nice guy," I defended. Teddy forced me to look at him.

"Does he play on the team?"

"Yeah, he's beater, why?"

"Beater. . . what does he look like?" Teddy demanded. His hair turned black and his skin tanned. He looked almost exactly like Ares. "Like this?"

I nodded, "Yeah, that's him. . . why?"

"Oh, just wondering. . . he's a decent Quidittch player, to say the least."

"Decent?" I snorted. "He was brilliant."

"You nearly clobbered him with the ball, mate," Kellen said to Teddy. "You attacked him with bludgers."

"He sent them right back," Teddy grinned. "Even trade."

"Says you!" Sophie laughed. She was obviously drunk.

"How many of those have you had?" I asked, taking the glass out of her hand and experimentally sniffing it. Firewhiskey? I'm going to kill James and Calisto.

"One. . . Four. . maybe three?" she giggled.

"Oh, god. That's it. We're going to bed. Come on. Night, boys!"

"Night, ladies!" Teddy smirked, returning to look his normal sandy haired and brown eyed self.

I slammed the bedroom door shut behind us and shoved her on her bed. She was sleeping as soon as my body hit mine. Without warning, I was asleep, dreaming of a certain tan skinned Italian.
