~Chapter Ten: Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw~

Two weeks before the Christmas break, the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw Quidditch took place. Both the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw team practiced a lot. Cho changed into her Quidditch robe and walked out to the pitch. She flew out, followed by her team.

The Weasley twins' friend Lee Jordan started the commentary. "Today, the big game between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, both Seeks are very skilled, and a far as I know of, they practiced awfully a lot. So for Gryffindor, we have… Lead by Captain Potter, our Seeker; Chasers: Johnson, Bell, Thomas; Beaters: Weasley and Weasley; and Keeper Smith! And for Ravenclaw, we have: Chasers Bond. Fehr, and Dawson; Beaters: Martin, and Peterson; Keeper: Wilson; and… Seeker Chang, their new Captain!"

Harry landed and so did Cho, "Potter, Chang, shake hands." Madam Hooch said. Harry shook Cho's hands, that was the first time they ever had any physical contact after that day by the lake. "Amount on your brooms, three, two, one." Madam Hooch blew her whistle. Harry kicked off and looked for the golden sparks. Cho kept cutting across him, obviously she didn't change her tactics.

Katie had the Quffal, "She's flying toward the Ravenclaw goal past, she shoots, and she scores!" Roared Jordan "10-0 for Gryffindor!" Harry dived, hope Cho would follow, but she didn't fall for that one. Then somehow he saw the snitch and tore after it, but Cho came out from nowhere and blocked him. She did this several times, and it drove, not Harry, but Lee nuts.

"Quit doing that you bitch!" Lee yelled.

"Jordan, how many times do I have to tell you not to swear!" came Professor McGonagall voice. Harry could see Cho was fighting back a smile. Now the score was 100-70 in Gryffindor favour. Harry just needed the snitch.

Moments later, he saw it again, Cho was closer, but he had a faster broom. There wasn't enough time to think, Cho saw it too. They both chased after the snitch.

"Okay, he's ahead, no wait she it." Lee yelled. Harry had his eyes fixed on the snitch and was trying to push Cho away and she did the same. The snitch, however was dancing away from them. They both reached out their hands, Cho's hand closed around the snitch, somewhat Harry's hand closed around Cho's.

Madam Hooch blew he whistle. "250-170, Ravenclaw wins!" Lee said, a bit disappointed. Harry flew down, head down, she started to walk to the change room. Cho wanted to go over and talk to him, but Ginny got there first. Cho sighed and went away with her cheering teammates.

"Hey, Harry, it's okay, we still can win Slytherin." George said.

"Yeah, we already won the cup once." Ginny added.

Harry certainly wasn't happy, but it wasn't entirely because the lost of the game. Of course, the game is an issue, but not quite. Harry thought about Cho, how he felt when he toughed her hand, the tender, soft, warm, little hand.

"Harry!" ~sigh~ back to reality.

"Huh?" Harry muttered.

"Harry, it's okay, and quit being dreamy all day." Ginny said with a smile. "Want to go fro a walk?"

"Sure, why not?" With that Ginny took Harry to the lake.

Mean while…

There was a big commotion going on in the Ravenclaw Common Room. Everyone was happy except for the person who actually caught the snitch. Well, may not unhappy, of course Cho was happy that she had won, but she was just not entirely happy. She did cheer; she did have fun; she did acting very happy. But inside, she was empty; she didn't want to act this tragic comedy out anymore, not tonight. Through the window, she could see Harry walk hand in hand by the lake with Ginny.

She went up to her dormitory, sat on her bed, thinking about Harry. Harry had lost the game; Ginny was there to console him. She wondered if she had lost the game, who will console her? Well, there would be of course, but she wanted someone who really loves her to do so.

She knew that Harry learned to forget about her and enjoy Ginny's company. She knew he no longer love her, or even like her. She was alone again, outside and inside.

She looked out her windows again, the lake was beautiful at dust, the sun almost set, Cho would see Harry kissing Ginny, and Ginny laughed. "As long as Harry's happy, I'm happy." She thought, this thought scared her. "Why?" She asked herself. "Cause you care about him, you have your heart broken, and just because he is happy, then you shall be happy? God, love really can change things." She answered herself.

She took a shower and went to bed, she didn't want to fall asleep, every time she did, she would dream about Harry and her, together, happy. But then, every dream ended in heartbreak...

A/N: There, I know they are sad, but they will be together again. Just wait. Any by the way, last time I asked about the clean and cross over the line thing, most of you wanted both, I don't really know how to do that, because once you're over the line, you can't come back again. Well, anyhow, please REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
