~*~*~*~*~*~
As the Christmas holidays grew nearer, Harry grew more and more confused. The mystery of Koke and Harkinian's true identities was on his brain every minute. When he was in their classes, he couldn't find anything that make them. . .out of the ordinary.
"They're just normal people," Ron deduced, putting on his Quidditch robes.
"Who, the Slytherins?" Ginny asked, who had overheard the comment. "I don't think so. I don't think they're even from Earth."
"Right," Harry said, not wanting to get involved.
"Okay team," said Alicia, standing in front of them. "Here we go. Our game against Slytherin. I have a lot of faith in you guys! CAN WE DO IT?!"
"Yes we can," her team chanted back in a monotone.
"That's the spirit! Let's go kick Slytherin BUTT!"
The Gryffindor team walked onto the field to loud cheers. Lee shouted off their names as they mounted their brooms, waiting for the other team.
"BOO, YOU STINK!!!" Pansy Parkinson shouted from the stands. Then the Slytherins entered the arena. "YAY!! GOOOOOOOO SLYTHERIN!!!"
"I hope Gryffindor wins," Zelda whispered to Link. "Even though I know that we're not supposed to be biased or anything."
"Actually, I'm with you," Link said back. "Gryffindor should totally win! I hate all of my Slytherin students. . .even the ones that like me. Most of them are completely horrid, despicable kids!"
"I know!" Zelda agreed. "Oh look, it's starting!!"
"And they're off!" Lee shouted. "The Quaffle is in Ginny Weasley's possession, as she darts towards the goal posts. She passes it to team captain Alicia Spinnet who decides to take a shot! Ooh, she misses! Too bad there, Spinnet."
"You were close!" Katie shouted to Alicia.
"I HAVE FAILED!" Alicia yelled dramatically, flying towards the Slytherin Chaser with the Quaffle.
"Yeah, ya have," Malfoy snorted under his breath. He stared with great dislike at Harry, on the other side of the field. Both were searching avidly for the Snitch, neither with much success so far.
"10 points for Slytherin!" Lee announced. "And the Quaffle is caught by Gryffindor Chaser, Katie Bell..."
"C'mon, you can DO this, Ron," Harry muttered to himself. "Just don't let the Quaffle get in the hoops. . ." He glanced over at Ginny, who was in the direct path of a Bludger. "GINNY, LOOK OUT!" Harry shouted.
Ginny, not even stopping to look behind her, quickly flew downwards. She saw a Bludger zoom over her head, towards Katie. Dean came flying out of nowhere, yelling victoriously, and whammed the Bludger towards the other side of the field. As her heart rate went slowly back to normal, Ginny looked over at Harry and smiled gratefully.
"Phew, that was close!" Hermione sighed. "I thought for a minute that she'd get the Bludger right in the head."
"Nah, our Beaters are pretty good this year," Lavender said. "Even though Fred and George were great too."
"TEN POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!!!" Lee screamed, as Ginny made a shot. "SO FAR, THIS GAME IS EVEN!! Aaaaaaand the Quaffle is taken by Slytherin Chaser Mullet, who zooms down the field. . ."
"My bat is bigger than your bat!" Goyle shouted at Seamus.
"That's just great, Goyle," Seamus yelled back. "Fortunately for me, my brains and skill are both larger than yours!"
In response, Goyle whacked one of the Bludgers towards Seamus. In turn, Seamus walloped it back to Goyle. In what looked like a mid-air tennis match, the two beaters hit the bludger back and forth.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Madame Hooch shouted, flying up to them. "You two aren't supposed to be playing with that Bludger! USE IT!!"
Annoyed by the interruption, Goyle belted the bludger towards Hooch. She barely managed to elude it, throwing him an angry look. She blew on her whistle.
"Illegal move by Slytherin beater, Goyle!" Lee broadcasted. "And I do believe that Hooch is going to. . .yes! Gryffindor gets a foul shot!"
"You take it!" Katie and Ginny both said to Alicia. She smiled weakly, and took the Quaffle from Madame Hooch.
". . .AND SPINNET MADE THE FOUL SHOT!!" Lee shouted. "Making the game 20 to 10, Gryffindor!!"
As the game went on, both teams eventually reached sixty points. Ron had floundered during the beginning of the game, but he was now becoming more and more sure of himself. He blocked another shot.
"Way to go, Ron!" Ginny cheered for her brother.
Then Harry saw it. A tiny flash of gold--fluttering next to Dean's left shoulder. Quickly, he looked around for Malfoy. Harry was extremely confused to see Malfoy headed straight for the ground.
As Harry bolted towards the Snitch, he laughed loudly at a sudden realization: Malfoy was trying to perform the Wronski Feint! Unfortunately for him, Harry had already spotted the real Snitch.
"And what's this?!" Lee cried into his megaphones. "We have both Seekers speeding in flight, but in two different directions!! Has one of them really seen the Snitch?!"
"Move, Dean!" Harry shouted. Dean dropped down, and Harry soared over him. Cheers echoed throughout the stadium when they realized that Harry had caught the Snitch.
"And Potter catches the Snitch, earning 150 points for Gryffindor!" Lee declared. "Making the final scores 210 to 60! GRYFFINDOR WINS THE MATCH!!!" The Slytherins' boos were drowned out easily by the cheers from the rest of the students.
"That was great, Harry!!" Ginny shouted, as the two of them landed on the ground. She ran over to him, and kissed him adoringly. She blushed furiously, but continued to speak. "Do you think that Malfoy was trying to do the Wronski Feint?"
"I'll bet he was!" Ron laughed, walking up to them. "That was hilarious! Great game, Harry! Good job!"
"You both did fine, too," Harry said, blushing a bit. "Ron, you're getting better and better as a Keeper!"
"Hey, don't I get any individual praise?" Ginny joked.
"Yes. You're amazing too."
"GREAT JOB, YOU GUYS!!" Hermione yelled, running up to the three. She grabbed them all in a very tight hug. "YOU ARE ALL SO AMAZING!!! I AM SO TOUCHED BY YOUR TALENT!!!"
"Erm...thanks, Hermione," Harry said in a muffled voice, trying to get out of her tight grasp. "It's really nothing."
"Nothing my nose!" Hermione yelled, to the confusion of her three friends. "C'mon, let's go celebrate--AT DINNER!!"
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle trudged back to the fields alone. Malfoy refused to talk to Goyle, who had given the Gryffindors a foul shot. His face was flushed red, furious that his Wronski Feint had backfired.
"That was a good try though," Crabbe said.
"Shut up, will you?!" Malfoy yelled. "It didn't work! Who CARES if it was a good try or not?! It completely flopped! Potter got the Snitch!"
"Well, I believe that it was a brilliant show of talent," said Snape, who had been walking behind them.
"Oh. Hello, professor," Malfoy said, as Snape drew level.
"Let it be known to you, Malfoy," Snape continued. "That you are not the only one in this school who has been humiliated." His eye twitched, as he saw Zelda and Link walk past them. Snape clenched his fists tightly.
"That duel, right?" Malfoy asked. "I was rooting for you, Professor. If you ask me, I think that Harkinian cheated. . .not using a wand, what rubbish!"
"I quite agree," Snape snarled. However, he still remembered that he had also agreed to let Harkinian use her own powers instead of a wand. "That scurvy witch had a lot of nerve to come to this school. . ." Snape was mostly talking to himself now.
"Really? I think she's pretty!" Goyle said.
"Shut up, Goyle!" Malfoy and Snape barked.
Meanwhile, at dinner. . .
Hermione, Ron, and Harry had decided to tell Ginny about Zelda's Penseive. When they told her that they believed Link was her "lover," she nodded.
"Based on what you guys told me, I think he likes her too," Ginny agreed. "But of course, we'll never find out for sure."
"Hey wait, look over there!" Hermione cried, pointing towards the doorway in front of the great hall. She could see Link and Professor Sprout walking towards it, and Hermione's eyes had darted to the mistletoe above the door.
"Ew, no!" Ginny cried, following Hermione's stare. "Sprout's got to be at least fifteen years older than Koke! He'd never--"
Ginny stopped in mid-sentence. Sprout and Link had both noticed the mistletoe. A bit pink, Link stooped down, allowing Sprout to peck his cheek. Blushing terribly, Sprout ran to the staff table, Link not too far behind.
"Hey, look at Harkinian!" Ron laughed.
Zelda was staring at Sprout with so much loathe, her cheeks were turning a bit red. Link, noticing this, stuck his tongue out at her. Taken aback, Zelda soon recovered from her shock and subtly stuck her tongue out at him in return, narrowing her eyes.
"They're so immature!" Hermione giggled. "It's really quite funny. . .even though he really shouldn't toy with her emotions like that."
"Hey, it was just mistletoe," Harry pointed out. "Nothing serious. Really. Besides, it's like Ginny said before: Sprout is fifteen years Koke's senior! We're being stupid."
"Aw, speak for yourself," Ron laughed.
"Ooh, I have an idea!" Ginny squealed, blushing and laughing. She whispered something to Hermione, who nodded, grinning. "Let's go, before dinner is over!"
"Wait for us!" Ron called after them, standing up with Harry. "Wonder what they're going to do. . .especially since they apparently don't care whether or not we know about it! Oh look, there they are. GINNY, HERMIONE!!"
"What is it?" Ginny asked, turning around.
"We wanted to know what you guys're doing," Harry answered stiffly.
Hermione laughed. "Well, we figured that we'd have a little fun." She pulled some mistletoe out of her pocket. "We're going to put this over Harkinian's doorway. You know, to test her own fidelity! If we're lucky, Koke might be the one she sees it with!"
"You guys," Ron complained, though not able to contain a smile. "That's not very. . . oh, that sounds great!"
"We're going to standby and see what happens," Hermione said. "We thought we--"
"You don't have to hide out or anything," Harry interrupted. "By the time Harkinian gets to her room, this hall will already have kids in it!"
"Oh, you're right!" Ginny said. "I guess we can just hang this up, go back to the dining hall, and wait for them to come out." She pointed her wand at the mistletoe in Hermione's hand. "Wingardium Leviosa!"
The mistletoe slowly rose into the air, and Hermione did a spell to attatch it to the doorway. Laughing, the four of them rushed back into the great hall.
A few minutes later, most of the students and teachers began to drift away from dinner. Noticing that Zelda and Link were leaving, Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny joined the flock of students also exiting the room.
Link's eyes rose to the mistletoe above Zelda's door. Instead of going his own way, he started to follow her. Zelda, who hadn't seen Hermione's "plant," turned around to give Link a strange look. She stopped right in front of her doorway. "What're you doing, Link?"
He smiled, then glanced up at the mistletoe. Zelda followed his gaze. "Ah-ha. . .no. Good-bye, Link."
But before Zelda could close her door, Link grabbed her arm. She turned to face him, when he suddenly drew her closer. Not uttering a word, Link dipped the princess and kissed her lips passionately.
Simply caught in the moment, Zelda could only blush, but had not the heart (nor the will) to push away. Finally, the realization that several students were watching them sunk in. Link quickly helped Zelda stand straight again.
"Erm. . .thanks. . .?" Zelda whispered, smiling and closing her classroom door behind her, still blushing.
"Yeah," Link muttered, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. He turned, and saw several girls swarmed around him. In shock, he backed up against the door. "Uh, um. . . I, er. . .I think I'll just be--"
Zelda's door opened slightly, and a hand reached out. It grabbed Link's shirt collar, and pulled him inside.
"Okay people, time to go!" Ginny shouted, trying to usher the students out of the hallway. "There's nothing more to see, you can all go back to your dorms. . ."
