FreshAngelicBabe: Thank you for reviewing, and I think I read somewhere that you can beat the bludger towards the crowd and get a foul. But you're not allowed to do it intentionally.
Thank you for reviewing my story! I really appreciate it!

Adult Harry stood back as Madam Pomfrey walked away with his younger self, lying unconscious on the magical stretcher with the quidditch players, Hermione and Ginny trailing behind. Harry wasn't worried about the younger him, he knew he'd be okay, he had gone through it already, and was fine. Harry was worried about something else. He scanned the grounds, looking for the two hooded people, and spotted standing at the end of the pitch, in between the stands.
"Sirius." Harry nudged Sirius, who was watching the stretcher go with extreme worry.
"You're going to be okay right?" Sirius asked concernedly, referring to the unconscious Harry.
"I will." Harry replied quickly and made Sirius look at the stands. "Look. They were the ones that I was talking about"
"I don't see anything." Sirius answered, squinting as he screened the stands, wondering what he was supposed to see.
"Follow me." Harry answered hastily as he made Sirius follow him sneak towards the people.
They walked quickly but silently along the left stands, and went behind the stands when they reached the end. Walking slowly, Both Harry and Sirius could see the two hooded people.
"I told you they would be here." Harry whispered to Sirius, taking his eyes off the two people for a second, but when he looked back, they were gone.
"Where did they go?" Sirius wondered aloud, both he and Harry rushed out of their hiding place and to where the hooded people were. They looking around for any sign of the two people anywhere, but they were gone, just like that.
"They couldn't have apparated, no one can apparate in Hogwarts. Hermione made sure I knew that." Harry said.
"They couldn't have ran or flown away either, or we would have seen them go." Sirius added.
"They could have been using a portkey." Harry muttered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
"Ginny!" Harry shouted as he bolted awake.
"Ginny just left." Harry looked at Hermione (who was sitting by his bed) with a rather dazed expression on his face. It took him a few seconds to realize that he was in the infirmary. His scar was tingling; it wasn't the usual tingle he usually got after a strange dream, it didn't hurt, instead, it felt quite odd.
"How long was I out?" Harry asked as he sat up properly.
"A few days." Hermione answered.
"You're crazy you know, doing that for Ginny." Ron said. Harry turned to look at Ron. He didn't realize Ron was standing by the other side of his bed.
"Ron, I'm really sor - " Harry began apologizing, but Ron interrupted him.
"You don't have to say sorry, I over-reacted." Ron continued before Harry could start apologizing again. "You really must have fallen for Ginny to be that thick."
"How can you two be so sure it was because of Ginny?"
"How do we know?" Hermione said, almost laughing. "You were screaming her name so loud, practically the whole school heard you."
Harry buried his face in his hands after hearing what Hermione had said. It wasn't good news. Many things he did, was because of Ginny, everything was because of Ginny, he couldn't stop thinking about Ginny, he liked Ginny, maybe even more than he realized, there's no point in denying his feelings now.
"Feeling better Mr. Potter?" Harry heard madam Pomfrey say. He looked up and saw Madam Pomfrey pouring some potion, while shaking her head, mumbling something about bludgers being dangerous. "Drink up." Madam Pomfrey handed him the foul potion. Harry stared at it. It looked as if it would hurt him more instead of help. "I want to see it all gone when I get back." Madam Pomfrey said right before she rushed off to her office.
"Ugh. That looks horrible." Ron said as he peered at the potion.
"Yeah, and it'll most probably taste bad too." Harry said as he continued staring at it. "What happened after I blacked out?" Harry asked, looking up from his drink.
"Nothing much really. Many people rushed to your aide. Professor Lutter and Sirius checked on you before Madam Pomfrey came and brought you away on a stretcher." Hermione answered.
"How's Ginny?"
"I'm not going to say anything. You have to go see her yourself. I want you to talk to her, you'll get nowhere if you stay quiet."
"I can't talk to her yet. I mean - I just cant. Especially when I backed out on kissing her in Hogsmeade." Harry said.
"Just say sorry, and talk to her, it's not that hard."
"It IS that hard. I just - it's just -"
"Lutter was acting weird." Ron said out of the blue (to Harry's relief), he apparently has not been paying attention to the conversation between Harry and Hermione.
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked.
"All the other teachers were worried when you got knocked out, but Lutter acted differently. It was as if he didn't care, or he knew that it was already going to happen."
"Lutter cares, he acted differently because he knew it was going to happen." Hermione said confidently.
"You fancy him." Ron teased. Hermione looked taken back, but she actually was quite amused. If only Ron knew, who Lutter really was.
"I don't!" Hermione said defensively.
Ron continued teasing Hermione, which turned into a little fight, and eventually into a pretty huge row. Harry watched them as they quarreled. Ron and Hermione had been having frequent fights, even over little things. It was now obvious to Harry (as he watched them) that he wasn't the only one who had begun to fall for another.
Harry chuckled at the thought, before daring himself to drink the potion as Ron and Hermione quarreled.
