Disclaimer: I don't own them honest officer I thought they were over eighteen before I started playing with them. I just found them in a bookstore somewhere. Seriously though this is J.K.s world.

Chapter Six:

Draconis vs. Gryfindor

Several more weeks passed with Harry and Cho meeting almost every night and doing everything from just talking to having a midnight flights over the nearby town of Hogsmeade, the Gryfindor versus went as expected with Gryfindor being victorious, even without their star Seeker and Beaters they were better than any team the Slytherin could put together. The Draconis had been training non-stop and even Colin Creevey had gotten most of the positions down to an excellent style and finally their first match against Gryfindor had come.

*

The Draconis team made their way onto the pitch wearing their uniforms of brown leather pants and dark gray shirts with the house emblem emblazoned on it they also all wore a leather Quidditch glove for the position they were playing on their right hand. They all held their various brooms over their shoulder as they marched to the middle of the pitch where the backup team broke off and went to sit on the bench.

The main team made their way to where Oliver Wood and the new Gryfindor team waited, Wood was still Keeper, Spinnet, Johnson, and Bell were still Chasers, Dean and Seamus had been made Beaters, and Ginny had been made Seeker, "Captains shake hands," Madame Hooch yelled out. Will and Wood shook hands and with a whistle the two teams took to the air.

Cho immediately grabbed the Quaffle using her Seeker reflexes to get almost all the way to the Gryfindor goals before being barred by Dean and Seamus, all of the other Chasers were on the other side of the field, she had no choice, she signaled to Harry who had been searching for the Snitch near the goal, he aimed down and got ready for what he and Cho had planned, she threw the Quaffle straight down and instantly Harry was on top of it he pretended to have seen the Snitch then suddenly he turned back up discreetly using the back of his broom to knock the ball past the Beaters still menacingly blocking Cho's path and the Keeper who didn't know where the ball had gone and before Gryfindor knew Lee Jordan was yelling, "Draconis scores the score is now 10 to nil," Wood looked desperately around to see who had scored the shot but saw only a slowly retreating blocked Chaser and a circling Seeker.

An hour later Draconis had used many strange but legal strategies to get the score up to 150 and Gryfindor had yet to get a ball anywhere near the Draconis goal. Harry circled above the field listening to Lee yell, "And Johnson with the no wait Liu no she passes to Chang to Finn, score Draconis now winning 160 to nil," just then Harry caught a glimpse of gold out of the corner of his eyes, he dove and it flew towards the Gryfindor goal, Harry signaled to Cho, she nodded and took the pass of the Quaffle from Will and threw it in a direction no one had expected it hit the Snitch which ricochet right into Harry's waiting palm. There was a pause and then a cheer went up from most all of the houses, even Gryfindor as Lee yelled out, "Draconis wins 270 to nil,"

*

That night Harry met Cho on the balcony as usual with a new idea as to what to do that night, "Hey Cho, ever wondered what House you would fit in besides Ravenclaw?"

"Yeah..."

"Want to find out?"

"How?"

"Go to the source. I know where they keep the hat when its not being used,"

*

Twenty minutes later they were in Dumbledore's office pulling off the invisibility cloak while Harry carefully cast Alahamora on the door. They found the three legged stool with the hat on it and Harry whispered, "I hope the hat was only kidding during my sorting,"

"Why,"

"Because it said I'd do well in Slytherin,"

"Hmm, I'll go first,"

Cho walked over to the stool and placed the hat on her head and whispered, "Which Houses would I have been sorted into," Harry heard whispering and then Cho nodded and placed the hat back down and mouthed, "Gryfindor,"

Harry nodded and stepped up he placed the hat on his head and it fell slightly over his eyes. Inside it was dark and he could hear voices all around he whispered, "What houses would I have been sorted into if not Draconis or Gryfindor?"

The hat seemed to think and then said, "Potter, Harry?" Harry nodded, "You are kind and brave like a Gryfindor, you have great things coming to you like a Slytherin, and you are as clever as a Ravenclaw,"

Harry nodded and started to take the hat off then thought and said, "What about Weasely, Ron?"

"Gryfindor and Hufflepuff,"

Harry took the hat off and placed it back on the stool Cho raised and eyebrow and said, "Well..."

"Gryfindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin,"

"Well then we have a lot in common don't we. Apparently I have great things coming to me and Slytherin could have helped me,"

Harry grinned, "Here's to Grytheclaw, our house," then he made the motion of raising a goblet he started to bring his hand back down but found it being held in Cho's she looked him in the eye moved towards him put her arms up around his neck and leaning up. Harry began to lean down to capture her lips but they both turned before he could having heard the sound of the Gargoyle moving out of the way at the bottom of the steps.

A/N: This is happening a little faster than I had planned, but it was important to the scene, things will get confusing for Harry next chapter because of this scene.
