~Chapter 3~
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting around the table in the common room, next to the windows. Ron and Harry, who had left their homework for the last minute, were now desperately trying to get everything done for tomorrow, while Hermione, who had finished her work earlier, was now enjoying herself with a thick book that she had checked out from the school library. Ron, who wanted Hermione's help, had only gotten himself a long speech of how he should be responsible. It was already 10:00 pm and still they hadn't finished their work. Gradually the common room was being emptied, as the students left for their beds.
"We'll never get it done!" called out Ron frustrated.
"Didn't I warn you guys about leaving your works for the last minute!" spoke Hermione from behind her book.
"Please Hermione, spare us from your long lecture." Replied Harry as he kept on writing.
"I'm tired!" complained Ron, while he stretched out his arms. "I still have to finish an essay for Professor McGonagall."
"Well you better get on with it. Complaining won't get you anywhere." Explained Hermione with a sigh.
Ron picked up his book and started back on his work. Focusing his mind on the material at hand. Hermione seeing that both of the boys were silently working, went back to read her book. Harry, who was writing down on his parchment, wasn't entirely concentrated, as he kept on thinking about Cho Chang and her possible connection with Shawn. Although he barely knew about Cho, Harry had quickly gained some affection towards the Asian girl. He couldn't stop thinking on how it would be great to have her as his girl.
"Hey Ron." Spoke Harry silently. "What do you know about Cho Chang?" he asked shyly.
"You mean the girl that plays for the Ravenclaw team as a seeker." Replied Ron, dropping his book onto the table.
"She's a seeker?!?" said Harry impressed. Not only was she beautiful, but also an athlete.
"Yep. So what about her mate?" asked Ron curiously.
"Nothing much. I was just wondering if you knew something about her." responded Harry quickly, as he blushed softly.
"Don't tell me you fancy her?" Spoke Ron a bit loudly as he gaped towards his friend.
"Well you can say that." He admitted silently.
"I've heard Cedric Diggory has a crush on her." spoke Hermione, who hadn't taken her eyes from the book.
"Competition mate." Spoke Ron.
Suddenly the portrait flung open as Shawn, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan entered the common room, as they laughed loudly. The four of them laughed so hard that tears began to erupt from their eyes. Fred and George soon collapsed onto the coach, near the fireplace, still laughing. Lee Jordan had rolled onto the floor from laughing so hard, while Shawn leaned against a wall clutching his stomach, laughing as well.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to read." Complained Hermione, looking at the four laughing boys.
Apparently they ignored her complains and continued on laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Ron as he stared at them with curiosity.
"You should have seen their faces!" spoke Fred that had slowly stopped laughing.
"When Crabbe and Goyle ate the cupcakes we intoxicated." Continued George, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"The hair from their noses started to grow so fast that it might have covered the whole castle!" finished Shawn trying to imitate Crabbes panicked face, causing Harry and Ron to join them in another round of laughter.
"And we owe it all to Shawn, for coming up with this brilliant prank!" spoke Lee Jordan.
"To Shawn!" cheered Fred and George.
"Thanks mate!" replied Shawn as he gave a little bow before sitting down onto an armchair.
"I personally think that your pranks are sick." Spoke Hermione closing her book. "You could have lost us some House points."
"Glad to know how much you care for us." Replied Fred.
"It's getting late. Well I'm off to bed." Said Hermione as she turned around and left towards the girl's dormitory.
"Yep, Hermione is right about that. We better get some sleep." Spoke George. "See you guys in the morning." said Fred, as the twins walked up towards their dormitory.
"Hey guys wait up!" called Lee Jordan as he followed behind.
"Well, better get some early sleep." Spoke Shawn yawning, as he got up from the armchair.
"Shawn could I have a word with you?" asked Harry quickly, before his twin could reach the stairs.
"Sure, what's up mate?"
Harry hesitated for a second, but his curiosity wouldn't hold up. "Have you any connection with Cho Chang." He asked nervously.
"Cho Chang. She's just a friend of mine. Why do you ask?" replied Shawn as he grinned.
"Oh, nothing much. It's just that I was hoping you could tell me what her moves are in quidditch. You know. It would help me a lot when we play against Ravenclaw. Thanks anyway." Explained Harry quickly, as he thanked Ron mentally for informing him about Cho being a seeker.
"Sure mate." Chuckled Shawn as he saw Harry's face turn slightly red. "Well better get going. See ya tomorrow." Finished Shawn, as he waved goodbye and disappeared into his room.
Harry felt a bit relieved to know that Cho wasn't Shawn's girlfriend. This meant that his chances were still up, and he could finally go ahead without worrying about anything else. Harry smiled widely, as he saw the possibilities up ahead of him, who cared if he was shy, all he knew was that Cho was available.
"Oi, Harry! Stop daydreaming and let's get back to work!" called out Ron.
"Right." Spoke Harry as he quickly shock his head from his thoughts and went back to his books.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As the quidditch season was coming up, Harry had less time to concentrate on his homework because of Wood's exaggerated quidditch practices. Although everyone knew that Harry was the fastest seeker they had in years, Wood still wasn't confident enough to win their first match against Ravenclaw. Everyone was getting excited about the game, it had been a long time since the Gryffindor had won the trophy, and now that they had a new seeker, their hopes were high.
Sooner then Harry had expected the quidditch match had started, and he found himself mounted on his broom with his teammates, facing the Revenclaw team. As Harry sat nervously on his Nimbus 2000, he saw Madam Hooch approach the players with the Quaffle on hand. She looked at both team captains with a smile and spoke loud and clear.
"Now, I want a nice fair game, all of you."
Without any further note, Madam Hooch blew her whistle and threw the Quaffle up into the air. Brooms began to fly here and there, as both teams started the match. Lee Jordan who was the speaker, reported the game very clearly to the whole crowd, that was cheering widely with excitement and joy.
"GRYFFINDORS SCORE!" Announced Lee Jordan as the Quaffle, thrown by Angeline, had entered one of the hoops.
The crowd cheered loudly as they kept their eyes attentively onto the game. Harry, who had cheered along, was now flying above the sky, near the Gryffindor hoops, waiting for a sign of the golden snitch. He had attentively looked around the quidditch field, concentrating on finding the snitch first before the other Seeker. As Harry glanced around the field he couldn't help himself but to stare two or three times towards the other Seeker, not because he was making sure that the other Seeker had seen the snitch, but because the Seeker happened to be Cho Chang.
Cho noticing Harry staring at her, smiled and whispered. "Don't worry Harry, I haven't seen the snitch yet."
Harry blushed a bit as he flew towards the middle of the field as he gazed somewhere else, avoiding Cho's figure. As he looked around, a glimpse of gold was seen next to the Ravenclaw hoop. Harry smiled in joy. Before he made his move towards the hoop, Harry made sure that Cho was looking towards the other side of the field. In the exact moment, Harry bent forward on his broom, making fly in a great speed towards the Snitch. Cho seeing Harry fly by, didn't waist her time in following the other Seeker. Cho was soon side by side with Harry, as both Seekers made their way towards the Snitch, hoping desperately to get there first.
Surprisingly a Bludger came towards the Seekers, but they were both in time to dive and make their way through without any harm.
"Your not so bad Harry." Complimented Cho with a smile. Making Harry blush and almost balance out of his broom.
Cho being distracted in the second she spoke, didn't notice the other Buldger coming towards her on her left side. Harry almost reaching the hoops heard a smack and realized that Cho was hit directly on her left side of her head. The crowd gasped in frighten. Cho who lost her balance began to lose her grip on her broom, causing her body to slip off and fall back. Harry's eyes opened wide as he saw Cho's figure fall, he turned his head towards the snitch, and without wasting time, Harry did an incredible move, astonishing all the members and the crowd. He had bend forward and made it to the snitch in an incredible speed, before he made a U-turn and diving down towards Cho.
In a minute Harry had managed to grasp tightly his arms around Cho's waist, fastening her body onto his broom.
"Are you alright?" asked Harry looking towards Cho, who looked at him with half opened eyes.
"Thank you Shawn-" spoke Cho in a whisper before she closed her eyes and fell unconscious onto Harry's arms.
Harry's heart fell, as he heard Shawn's name coming out of her mouth. Somehow the words stabbed right into Harry's body, as he realized sadly, that Cho wasn't interested in him, but instead in his twin brother. It didn't matter if he tried, Harry now knew that Cho fancied Shawn instead of him. Sadden with the sudden fact, Harry had forgotten that he had won the game for the Gryffindor team.
"Great work mate!!!" called out Wood as he ran towards Harry, who had landed onto the ground safely.
"That was an incredible move!!!" called out George who was followed by the other Gryffindor players.
"You saved the lady and got the snitch! What a game!" spoke Fred with a joyful smile.
"You did it Harry!" cheered Angeline and Kate, as they hugged the boy.
Madam Pomfrey had hurried across the field to aid the injured Seeker. Not long, she managed to make Cho float in the air and take her away towards the Hospital Wings, where she would treat the unconscious girl. Harry kept on staring at Cho's figure as Shawn's name echoed inside his mind.
Soon the crowd came and joined the team, as they cheered and applauded. Fred and George quickly lifted Harry up in the air as everyone cried out Harry's name in victory. Harry who managed to smile, wasn't fully glad about the game, his mind was still on his brother and about Cho.
"I knew you could do it Harry!" called out Ron as he approached his best friend.
"You were great!" spoke Hermione with a smile as she cheered along.
"What can I say mate, I'm impressed with you!" called out Shawn as he showed up within the crowd.
The smile Harry had managed to put onto his face, was now gone as he looked towards his cheerful brother with unknown hatred. Of course he couldn't blame Shawn for Cho's heart, but Shawn did not have any interest on the girl that he fancied. What made Harry really frustrated was that Shawn did not even notice Cho like he did, and now all he wished was that the snitch he caught in the game could have been Cho's feelings.
