Ravenclaw's match today was going to be tense. Snape was refereeing as Stephanie kindly reminded them.

'This is going to be tough. But we'll pull through. We have for countless times now. We can't let Gryffindor down. We're this close to the House cup!' she said, gesturing to them how close.' Besides, if we don't win, our greatest Seeker will graduate empty handed.' she added.

'Thanks.' said Harry sarcastically.

'Well anyway, just stick to our plan. That's all we need. Now, let's get out there and get our cup!' she yelled enthusiastically.

'Nice pep talk. Let's.' said Rain.

'Gryffindor's last season with the youngest seeker in a century today. Being a Gryffindor, I take pride in knowing that.Ow!.Today's match is Ravenclaw versus Gryffindor! We'll begin as soon as the Ravenclaw team gets out.' said Eric Evans. He was a proud Gryffindor and loved to talk about his feelings to the crowd. They are very biased, though.

After Eric introduced the last player of Ravenclaw, Lexi Greene, who was the replacement of Cho Chang, he began calling out the Griffindor team.

'Now let's hear it for Stephanie Denver, Toni Anne Jordan and Candice Radcliffe, Gryffindor's awesome Chasers.also three of the house's babes..Ouch!.And here comes Gryffindor's two Beaters and one of the many cute couples, Rain Wakefield and Seamus Finnigan!.Cheers to Ron Weasley, Gryffindor's talented Keeper. And now, the one and only,' Harry shrugged knowing what's about to come next. 'Our very own Harry Potter as Gryffindor's finest Seeker and all around great guy!' commentated Eric.

Snape stepped out onto the field to begin the game. He told the players of both teams to play fair. He said this looking at Harry's direction.

Then he threw the Quaffle straight up into the air and was caught by Sarah Owens, one of Ravenclaw's Chasers.

'Owens from Ravenclaw grabs the Quaffle, Radcliffe tries to steal it.no.fakes stealing it! Jordan grabs the ball easily, out of Owens' sight, slick move. Now Gryffindor in possession of the Quaffle.tries to get past Ravenclaw Keeper, Gillian Austin.Fails! Ravenclaw now with the Quaffle.Owens holds on to it.. nearly at the goal.shoots..she sco.misses! Nice save by Weasley.'

Harry looked for the Snitch, judging from how the game's going, no one will score first.

He had to find the Snitch right this moment. Lexi had this in mind, too.

She dived to the ground real fast. Harry thought she saw the Snitch and followed her. She was going really fast but Harry followed closely behind on his Quicksilver9000.They were mere meters from the ground when Lexi went all the other way, up!

Harry realized that this was a move and he had seen it somewhere before. He knew what to do and did the same as Lexi.

'Oh My God! Were those Wronski Feints we just witnessed? Two of them? Excellent Seekers!' said Eric.

Harry was surprised he pulled through but he didn't have time to keep that emotion as he saw a glimmer of gold in the distance. He flew straight to it, hoping it was the Snitch.

First, he saw that it was just your normal golden bird.but then he saw, when the bird flew past, that the Snitch was just inches away from him. He looked back and saw that Lexi didn't see it. He made a grab for the Snitch but it was too late. He prolonged the catch and it got away.

He flew around more, hoping to see it again. The score was now 30-30, still even.

He kept flying around until a Bludger nearly hit him. He managed to avoid it by 5 cm and see that Lexi was coming towards him at great speed. She was pretending to see the Snitch again.

Harry didn't fall for it because he saw the real one under him. He reached down for it but he was too high. He flew down at a fast speed. He held out his hand.he caught something.but it didn't feel round.. it felt.long!

It was the Snitch's wing. He changed his way of holding it and properly held it whole.

'Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch... nearly letting go, but catching it still! Didn't I tell you he was great?' yelled Eric.

The crowd filled with cheer except Ravenclaw and, no surprise, Slytherin.

Harry was happy for a moment. He had won his last Quidditch match. He'll miss playing for his house a lot.

He saw the expressions on all the faces of his Team and house mates. They couldn't be prouder.he noticed however, that Gabrielle wasn't there. Not that he ever saw her attend Quidditch practice or had shown interest in the sport, he just thought it was a special match for all Gryffindor.

Harry went back to the common room, which was holding a party, and tried to look for Hermione, Ron or at least Gabrielle.

Ron was with Melissa. He still hadn't figured out her true colors. Hermione was reading a book called, 'Hidden talents'. It was too thick a book and Harry thought his eyes hurt. Gabrielle wasn't in sight.

Harry hadn't seen her since the day and he was thinking it might be his fault. He went to the window and stared outside.

'Penny for your thoughts?' asked Hermione, standing next to him.

'Hi Herm, I was just.I have a very complicated life.'he said.

'This wouldn't possibly have anything to do with your parents or the Order, would it?' she asked nicely.

Harry wanted to change the subject. 'The moon's really beautiful.especially since it's full tonight.'

'Don't change the topic. Listen, you don't have to tell me anything, but don't be too hard on yourself. You can keep it all locked up inside. Your feelings hurt more when you've got no one to share it with.' said Hermione. She said this while looking outside, too.

Harry thought for a moment.then he spoke in his sweetest of voices, the voice that completely made Hermione melt.

'Hermione, I've got a little confession.'

'What?' expecting he'd kissed another girl.

'I heard you talking to the baby version of me when we went back.' he said. Hermione blushed a bit.

'Oh, that. Well you see..' she began but was cut of by Harry's finger gently on her lips.

'I.think that.'he began but this time, it was Hermione's turn to cut off.

She came closer to him and kissed him. Harry closed his eyes. They haven't kissed for so long and he missed it.

The kiss wasn't demanding at all. It was more passionate than anything. It was quite long before Harry pulled away.

'Herm, I can't. Please.I'm sorry but you should find someone else.'said Harry and left her there, standing, holding tears, the many tears, back as she could.

She wiped her tears but they kept coming. She fell on a seat and covered her eyes with her arms. After realizing there were still people in the common room, she ran as fast as she could to her room. She didn't stop even when she was called by Melissa to ask what the matter was.

Meanwhile, at Harry's empty dorm, he was punching the wall.

He wasn't saying anything but he figured hurting himself physically would make the other hurting stop. He was wrong.

It grew more as he thought about it.

He's never hated his life more than he was now.

He's giving up someone he truly loved, and hurting her at that, because he was supposed to be this all high and powerful leader of an order he's never even seen!

Among other things he hated in his life, the fact that his parents were dead was right there next to his hate of not being with Hermione.

He stayed up all night, pretending to be asleep when the guys checked up on him.

Actually, he had the sudden urge to sneak out and go somewhere. He stood up and was nearly about to head for the door when something caught his eye outside the window.

There was a dark figure, looked like a dog or a wolf, maybe.

Then Harry remembered that it was a full moon, it must be Lupin.

He decided it was too risky to go out now, especially with a werewolf loose.

He went back to his self-pitying on his bed, under his blanket.
