Shasti: He he he... Sorri, I didn't help much (didn't help with anything really...) with this one, but I will with the next one... LOTR!!! HATCHA! And another thing, please review! We really need some feedback!

Shasti: To Cazeh- Great one! I loved this chappie!

Cazeh: ; Sorry this one took so long guys. I kept forgetting as soon as went online...

Thanks for the two reviews Neffie (sp?).

Harry sweated as the game dragged on, his face glistening with perspiration and hands barely able to grip his broom. Once, he had nearly fallen off when his gloved fingers slid off the tip of his broom. Occasionally, a bead of sweat would drop into his eye and he'd blink furiously to rid himself of the sting the salt gave.

The heat made it hard for him to concentrate, but he tried his best to find that glint of gold. He'd already seen it twice but had never been able to follow it far before it disappeared again. His movements were slow as he turned his broom to begin another round of the stadium. In the corner of his eye, he saw that Malfoy followed.

I bet he can't find it either and is hoping I'll do it for him. Well I doubt either of us will find the Snitch anytime soon, but in case we do, I'd better save my energy for the race towards it.

He made his round with Malfoy trailing him and then another. Before he had finished the third round, Malfoy went back to his own search. It was then that Harry gave up and took to watching his team play. Slytherin was ahead by 10 points, and then 20 minutes later, it was a tie. A while later, Gryffindor scored another goal, and then another. Satisfied that at least the rest of team was doing all right, he decided to randomly fly around in hopes of finding the Snitch. Somehow, he managed to keep clear of Malfoy.

I'm not avoiding him. Nor am I afraid that he'll target me with a Bludger. Its just coincidence that I'm well away from him.

He shook his head and would have laughed at the ridiculousness of it all if a ball of gold hadn't caught his attention, flitting about a few meters left of him. Abandoning his efforts of soothing his ego, he pulled his Nimbus 2000 left and with a deep breath, chased after the Snitch. Before speeding off, he had just enough time to see that Malfoy hadn't seen the Snitch at all. A grin began to appear.

I can finally end this game. Now if only that Malfoy didn't look this way until I have the Snitch...

Unfortunately for Harry, you don't always get what you want and in his case, it meant that Malfoy immediately spotted Harry chasing something glittery and doggedly tailed him. As Malfoy had the newest installment, Harry had trouble staying ahead of him. Malfoy caught up as Harry followed the Snitch skyward and the two Seekers fought to reach the golden ball first.

The sun shone brightly and blindingly and they tried not to look at it. It was hard not to though. Suddenly, the Snitch stopped, dead center of the sun. The light reflected off the gold until all Harry and Draco could see was a ball of molten white. They both tried to look away but found they couldn't. Then, just as suddenly as the Snitch had stopped, it dropped and with it went Harry and Draco. A huge hole opened, rotating in the bottom of the stadium and as the two plunged, they could see the rest of the students, even the teachers, being pulled in.

NOOO... This...this can't be happening. Voldemort... how did he manage this?

Harry wanted to scream but after being in insufferable heat for so long, he had dehydrated and couldn't bring enough moisture into his throat to do so. Instead, he shut his eyes tight, waiting to fall into the vortex. Waiting...

Ron...Hermione... oh, I hope you're alright...

Waiting...

I still may have a chance to save them...

Waiting...

Voldemort wants to kill me...perhaps I can find a way to save my friends...

Waiting...

Why is this taking so long? I've been for waiting to fall into whatever this black thing is and bravely not screaming! I can't keep that up forever you know!

Daringly, he opened an eye, slowly, thinking he'd see the black hole zoom in towards him. Instead, he saw...

"AHHH! I've gone blind!"

Absolute darkness, followed by the sound of other students screaming similar things. Then, somewhere in the impenetrable darkness, Professor Dumbledore's voice boomed, "Everyone, calm down. You are not blind, nor any of the other ridiculous things you claim to be."

This did little to help, mainly because the students were too busy screaming for their mommies. But of course, that didn't hinder the old headmaster. "It appears that we have fallen into a hole. Who made this hole and why we have been pulled in a yet a mystery."

This was greeted with a few 'duh's and 'obviously's by those who had gotten over the initial shock.

Dumbledore ignored those, and started to say something else, but before he got any further, everyone hit a surface and had the breath knocked out of them.

"Ow..." "My back..." "Oooof..." "Oohhhhhh..." "My hip..." "MY HAIR!!!"

Many other complaints followed until one attentive student shouted, "I can see!" The others soon realized that there was now light, and as they looked around, they found themselves in a...

Shasti: Review

Cazeh: Yessums, please do.
