Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter characters! But I do own my own creations!
This was the day, the first big match of the quidditch season. Gryffindor VS Ravenclaw. The two houses were extremely excited about the upcoming match. Gryffindor had been beating Ravenclaw the previous few years ever since Harry had been on the Gryffindor team. Harry woke up very early and headed down to the quidditch pitch to take one last look. He was surprised that someone else had beaten him there. It was a girl, scanning the conditions for the upcoming match. Thinking it was Tessa; he smiled and cried out "Hey!" The girl turned around. It was Cho.
Cho was surprised to see Harry. She felt her face turn red. She felt awkward being near him ever since that day the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor team had clashed over quidditch practice. She felt ashamed that she let Roger lash out at Harry like that. She walked towards Harry head lowered.
"Hi." Cho said quietly. "I just came to look at the conditions for the match today." She quietly walks past him not expecting him to reply.
Harry felt his heart jump when he realized the girl was Cho. He felt tongue-tied and he didn't know what to say to her. Even after Cho had left, Harry stood still at that spot unable to move. It was going to be a tough match, Harry sighed. A very tough match.
"Hermione! Hermione!" Louisa rushed into Hermione's room. " I want to take you to meet an uncle of mines. He's asked me to meet him in the Forbidden Forest today and he said to bring my best friend along." Louisa grabbed onto Hermione's arm and pulled her into the common room. "Come with me! Please!"
Hermione was about to agree to go. Suddenly a thought came into her mind. "Louisa, isn't today the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw quidditch match? Aren't you going to watch?"
Louisa felt herself blush. She had promised Uncle Lucius to bring Hermione into the Forbidden Forest during the quidditch match. She could not break her promise. "Hermione," Louisa quickly replied, "It's very hard for him to come by here. Besides, Harry's team is bound to win this. So can you please come with me?" Louisa pleaded with Hermione.
Hermione felt herself give away. It was just once. Besides Louisa was right. Harry would win the match. So why not? Maybe it would be ok just to go with Louisa and meet her uncle. It was just once.
"Hello and welcome to the first Quidditch Match of the season!" Lee blared into the speakers. "This is the long awaited match of the champions Gryffindor VS Ravenclaw! Today's day is warm and perfect for an exciting match! So sit back in your seats everyone! Look here comes the players!" Lee's speech was followed by lots of cheers.
The Gryffindors came out in their normal scarlet uniforms. Harry was in the front. He heard the cheers and felt confidence regaining back inside him. Just then, he caught Cho's glance and felt his heart flutter.
Madam Hooch fluttered up into mid air. "Captains shake hands." She called. Cho and Harry hovered towards each other. They tentatively shook hands. Cho's hand felt smooth and warm. Harry didn't want to let go.
"Um... Harry?" Cho was blushing. "Can we start the match?"
Harry looked to see that he was still holding on tightly to Cho's hand. He blushed. "Yea sure." He quickly flew back to his position and prepared to begin.
With a blowing on the whistle, the match has started. The Gryffindor chasers were extremely good and soon Gryffindor had taken an early lead. However, a lot of the spectators were laughing. They were spending their time looking at the two seekers of the team, Harry and Cho.
This was a disastrous match for both of them. Harry and Cho kept on crashing into each other on the court. They seemed to be wishing to go the opposite way but they kept on staying together.
"Oh sorry." Said Cho blushing when she swerved to stop crashing into Harry again. Harry made no comment. He just wanted to get the snitch and get it over with. However while this noisy quidditch pitch was full of an intense match, nobody noticed a pair of eyes watching from the Forbidden Forest, and nobody notice this pair of eyes point a wand at Cho.
"Louisa?" Hermione asked her voice cracking with an edge of nervousness. "Where are you taking me? We've being walking in the Forbidden Forest for ages and I haven't seen your uncle yet." She almost tripped over a branch and tumbled into Louisa.
"Well hello Granger." A voice cold as ice whispered through the air. " I expected Louisa would have brought you here. But I guess you didn't expect me to be her uncle did you?" It was Voldemort.
Hermione looked at the pair of snake slit eyes. "Louisa what? Why? Why did you betray me?" She started to move backwards. She took out her wand and pointed it at Voldemort.
"Oh no you don't," said Voldemort with a little laugh. " Expelliarmus! "He screamed and Hermione's wand flew out of her hand and landed in his. " Now Granger, I'm here to make a deal with you. I want you to bring Harry to a little hideout of mine." He smiled at the cowering Hermione.
"Never!" Hermione cried out. "I'll never betray Harry!" She knew there was no point in moving. " You'll have to kill me first!" She cried defiantly at Voldemort.
"Now, Ms. Granger, you haven't heard everything yet. I just would like a little chat with Harry. Then, I can guarantee that I will give Harry to you. You can finally win his heart. Isn't that what you have being waiting for?" He smiled at Hermione.
Hermione found herself hesitating. Voldemort was promising not to hurt Harry and he would give Harry to her. Maybe she should agree. She opened her mouth to answer.
"No Ms. Granger." Voldemort cut in before her. "Don't answer me yet. I'll tell you when I'd like Mr. Potter so head back now to your school." He smiled again and disapperated.
Hermione gently started heading out of the Forbidden Forest. She didn't know what to say.
The match had being going on for fifteen minutes. Gryffindor was leading 50-0. Ginny had been performing exceptionally well and was scoring endlessly. Harry and Cho both saw the snitch hovering around the Ravenclaw goal post. They both zoomed towards it. Dean Thomas whacked a bludger at Cho, but it missed. Harry and Cho were side by side; the snitch was just in front!
Then a streak of purple light zoomed into the court. It hit Cho Chang right on the back. It had came from somewhere in the Forbidden Forest. Harry and Cho were both ten meters in the air. A fall like that would definitely hurt Cho badly.
Cho fell of her broom and fell rapidly towards the ground. Harry saw what was happening and abandoned the snitch. He just needed to be a little closer to catch Cho. He let go of both of his arms and strained for Cho. The ground was looming closer and closer. In the last second before Cho fell onto the ground, Harry snatched her into his arms and flew straight for the hospital wing. Cho opened her eyes and looked at him. " Harry" She said gently. Then she closed her eyes and fainted.
