Draco shifted his weight from foot to foot nervously, waiting with the rest of the Slytherin team to be called out onto the field. It was the first Quidditch match of the year, and they were up against Gryffindor.

Over the years, some changes had occurred to both teams though, due to the original students graduating and such. Harry was now captain of the Gryffindor team [I'll allow him that much], and still the seeker. Ron's little sister Ginny was on the team too; as a chaser. The other players - well, they're not important.

Hermione shifted her weight from foot to foot nervously at the same time, standing anxiously near the edge of the railing with Ron and Gwen, a relative of Professor McGonagall's who had been after Ron for quite a while. However, she and Hermione got along alright.

"Oi, Hermione, what're you so nervous about? It's not like we're going to loose or anything." Ron said. He was often overconfident when it came to Quidditch.

"Well. I think I made a mistake by telling your sister that we think Karien is in love with Malfoy. Especially because she's been on the warpath to get Malfoy ever since." Hermione brushed some of her hair behind her ears, but it didn't stay. "Has she ever overreacted about things - like, really drastically?"

Gwen answered, with a little tone of resentment towards Hermione. "Well, there was this one time when she got in a fight her mum at Platform 9 & ¾ ab-" but she was drowned out by the sudden roaring of the crowd as the players took to the field. Ron looked over at his sister. she did look a little angry, but he just brushed it off. He was too excited: Gryffindor just had to win. [Author: Yeah right. P]

Karien stood with some of his other Slytherin friends on the other side of the field, cheering as Draco and Harry aligned for their starting positions. Draco smirked at Harry, he was ready to win today. however, the sky was looking a bit gloomy, and a chill had settled in. The Quidditch robes weren't very warm either, mind you. Nobody noticed Ginny Weasley glaring up at Malfoy from her place on the ground.

Madame Hooch blew her whistle, and the teams took to the air, starting the first game.

Draco shivered up in the air, looking for the snitch. Everything was going smoothly, so far Slytherin was 10 points ahead of Gryffindor. Suddenly, something gold caught his eye. As he dived towards the snitch, he glanced over to see Harry not far behind. But that wasn't the only glimpse of scarlet robes he noticed - Ginny Weasley was coming up on his other side.

"Dammit, Malfoy! Why do you always have to get in the way of everything we try and do?" she snarled at him. "You're such an ass! Why can't you just leave us all alone, huh?! How can ANYONE stand you?! How can Karien stand you?! First you torture us all all year, and then you take the one person I love! Go to hell, bastard!"

This caught Draco off-guard - the person she loved? What was Ginny talking about? But that wasn't important to him now, he was right in the path of the sn-

Karien's eyes widened from the stands as Harry caught the snitch - but that wasn't why. Harry had won just as Draco was slammed off his broom by Ginny. He fell 20 feet or so before hitting the ground and blacking out. The game was over.
