What if Harry realized it was Malfoy on the field before the game was over?

Harry also found out that no one truly knows what is under a Dementor's hood. According to Lupin the only people who've seen have lost their souls. Apparently, Dementors are such bad kissers they cause a person's soul to leap out of their body so they can escape it.
Harry gave Lupin a funny look for that.
Harry wandered through the Hogwarts corridors feeling a little weirded out by this. Things looked up, however, when McGonagall approached with the Firebolt.
Well," said McGonagall. "There's no hexes. Seems you have a good friend out there somewhere.":
Harry: "Whoo Hoo!"
Harry ran to the Gryffindor common room to tell Hermione and Ron. Nothing could possibly ruin this moment. And then he got to the common room...
Ron: "Your cat killed Scabbers!"
Hermione: "That's not true!"
Harry: "AAAAAAAAND the moment's ruined."
…
So the Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw game was ready to go, and Harry managed to get Hermione and Ron to stop arguing and support him. It didn't mean they talked to each other, in fact, they pretended the other didn't exist in Harry's presence, but at least they weren't yelling at each other.
Harry's only consolation was that he would get to try out his new firebolt.
The game went pretty well for Gryffindor Seekers, but Harry found himself fighting over the Snitch with Ravenclaw's seeker Cho Chang. Harry, then and there, made himself a solemn promise.
Harry: "I will not lose to Ravenclaw! I will win one hundred and fifty points for my team! I will catch the snitch before that Ravenclaw girl I...Oh wow, that Ravenclaw girl is pretty. I mean...wow. Cho Chang. And hey, she's a great flyer too. Look at her go! Wow."
He flew for a moment, just admiring her.
Harry: "Wait what was I doing?"
Wood: "Harry! The Snitch!"
Harry: "Oh right!"
And he flew after it, putting all his attention on it, and none on Cho Chang. None whatsoever. If anyone asked, that's exactly what he would say. That would work.
But then someone shouted, "Dementors!"
Harry hot his wand as he rode his broomstick. No Malfoy would be doing standup comedy in his mind. Not this time.
Harry: "Expecto Patronus!"
A silvery cloud flew out of his wand and struck the dementors.
And one of them had a familiar girly scream. Suddenly Harry realized it was Malfoy down there, putting on a dementor disguise to try and scare him. As the cloaked figure below got up, Harry suddenly realized he could hit him with his Patronus over and over again under the pretense that he still thought it was as a dementor. Everyone would understand. But was it worth potentially losing the game just to make Malfoy suffer a little?
Harry grinned.
Harry: "Expect Patronum!"
The silver cloud struck Malfoy who went AAAAAAA!
Harry: "Expect Patronum!"
The silver cloud struck Malfoy who went AAAAAAA!
Harry: "Expect Patronum!"
The silver cloud struck Malfoy who went AAAAAAA!
"I think you got it, Harry," said a very confused Cho Chang, watching him."
Harry: "I got something else too!" and he dove and caught the snitch.
Cho grimaced and said, "Walked right into that one."
Harry: "I'm awesome!"
Draco: "Are not!"
…
Sirius Black snuck into the Gryffindor common room quietly. Fortunately for him, some kid left a list of passwords lying about. Finally, he could get inside that room and kill that rat once and for all. Slowly he crept, making sure not to make a sound as he, a grown man, snuck into a room filled with sleeping children as he held in a knife in his hand.
Depressingly, he realized he looked like the villain in a muggle horror movie.
Slowly he crept to the bed of the red-haired kid who had the eleven toed rat. He just had to find it and kill it. Looking around, however, he saw scratches everywhere, as if something had been chasing a smaller creature. Interesting. Still, all he had to do was escape before someone saw him and gave him a deer in the headlight looks.
Like how the red-haired kid was looking at him right now.
Sirius froze.
Sirius: "I don't suppose you'd believe I'm here to clean the windows?"
Ron: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! SIRIUS BLACK!"
Sirius: "Yeah that's what I thought."
And he ran.
