Chapter 1: Quidditch Final
Loud noises can be heard at the quidditch pitch, students cheering and teachers watching with excitement. There's only one event that could make everyone so happy, an event that comes every end of the year. The Quidditch Final.
"Gryffindor, Gryffindor", yelled students who have a banner sign with red and gold and a griffin in the middle.
A 16 years old with untidy raven black hair stood with his Gryffindor team-mates, looking very excited. It's the final and they're playing with their biggest rival, the Slytherin.
"Alright everybody, I may not be the best captain like Oliver or Angelina, but the only advice I can give you is play this game as if you meant it. Not because of the house cup but for yourself. We're here because we've worked hard for this, win or lose, everybody's a winner. Now, let's have fun", Harry smiled at them.
Everyone cheered so loud by Harry's advice that it boost up their energy and confidence they haven't had before.
"Look at the loud noises the Gryffindor team is making, I don't know what Harry said but they seem to have build a more stronger team", said Dean Thomas, the new spokesperson after Lee Jordan.
"Captains shake hands", Madame Hootch said to Harry and Malfoy, "Now, I want this game to be played safe, do you hear me."
"Good luck Potter, you'll need it", Malfoy smirked at Harry.
"Let the games begin", Madame Hootch yelled. She opened the trunk and let the snitch, quaffle and the budgers go.
Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin cheered knowing the game has started.
"Ginny got the quaffle and she's heading straight to the Slytherin's goal post. Oh no! A budger almost hit her, and then she passes the quaffle to Lavender who fakes her pass back to Ginny. They sure fooled the Slytherins. Lavender gave it to Parvati. GOAL!!! Gryffindor 10, Slytherin 0", Dean Thomas yelled at the microphone.
Harry looked at his team-mates and smiled. He remembered the first time he held the tryouts, it was disastrous. At first, he never thought they could ever get to the finals with Lavender and Parvati on the team, the most girlish and queens of rumours. Ginny being the opposite of the two, Neville the clumsy klutz, Seamus who can't even hit a budger and Ron who loses his confidences by the remarks of the Slytherin. To his surprises, after losing the first match by 30 points even though Harry got the snitch, he finds out that his team-mates were practicing 3 times a week without telling him. They wanted to improve and worked as a team. To that day, everyone became close to each other and Harry had never doubted them again.
"Another score for the Gryffindor!" Slytherin 0, Gryffindor 20."
A smile went to Harry's face; he knew his words have affected his friends.
This is the best year ever, Harry thought.
To him, everything in his life is almost restored, the defeat of Voldermort on Christmas day was the day his life will never be the same. Having new friends and finally having back the girl of his dreams, Cho Chang is added to his perfect list.
But why do I feel like there's something missing, he thought.
"Oh no! Crabbe hits a budger straight to Ron and hit his stomach. This is definitely not good for the Gryffindor", Dean yelled.
Harry saw Ron's unconscious body on the ground, he was worried but then why would he care. Harry had stopped his friendship with Ron, he knew he had been the worst best friend and he doubted Ron would ever forgive him. Out of all their practices in quidditch, not once Harry had talked to Ron, he had avoided him throughout the whole year.
"I hope you're okay Ron", Harry whispered. Then, he went to look for the snitch.
"I better find the snitch before Malfoy does, but where is it", he muttered to himself.
"Losing your touch Potty", Malfoy smirked at him.
"Sod off Malfoy."
Before Malfoy could reply back at him, Harry saw a gold ball flying through the Gryffindor students. He abruptly passes Malfoy to get the snitch but unfortunately, Malfoy had followed him.
"What!!! A goal from Slytherin by Pansy Parkinson! Gryffindor 20, Slytherin 10. Oh no! No, not again! Another goal by Parkinson, Gryffindor, do not let them score again", Dean warned them.
What, tied already, Harry thought, better get the snitch fast.
Before they knew it, Harry and Malfoy were near the Gryffindor students. Not knowing if they should stop or head for the snitch.
"Let Potter make a fool of himself", Malfoy muttered to himself, pulling away before he crashes to the Gryffindor students.
Harry went straight for the snitch while students and teachers held there breathe and sat silently waiting for Harry to get it or get crashed. He dived as fast as he could for the snitch before he hits someone. When he was near the snitch, he held out his hand quickly to take it and stop abruptly his firebolt, almost hitting a bushy brown hair girl who looks petrified.
"Sorry about that, I almost hit you there", he smiled at her and flew down to the ground holding the snitch.
"Gryffindor wins the House Cup", Dean Thomas yelled and all the students erupted by cheering.
"Harry that was amazing", Neville approaching him.
"Thanks", he smiled at him while the rest of his team-mates gave him a hug and held the house cup.
"Not bad Potter", a girl's voice coming from Harry's back.
"Cho", Harry turned and looked at her, giving her a kiss on the lips.
"Where's Michael and Christopher", Harry asked her.
"They're waiting for us outside."
"Okay, I just need to take a shower and I'll be right there. You better call Lavender and Parvati", he smiled at her and gave her another kiss before leaving to the Gryffindor room.
