These characters aren't mine, sadly, and I make no profit from (insert story the particular fic of mine you are reading is based on here). I cry out to the stars, "If only, if only."
By the by, watch out, a few of the characters may be ooc. (out of character for those of you who don't know what that stands for.)
Chapter 22: Love Is In the Air
Harry stood at attention in the Gryffindor locker rooms, dressed in his Quidditch robes. Sue faced him, with the stance of a drill sergeant.
"Your time has come," Sue began seriously. "We have practiced for the whole month of January in anticipation of this day. Things will be in position at the appropriate time. Now go out there and show me what you're made of, soldier." She turned and marched out to her seat in the stands.
"What was all that about?" Ron asked. "We're only taking on Ravenclaw."
"She's made the match sound like a war," Ginny added.

"Would you two just quit it?" Diina snapped. Draco, on her left, would slip his arm around her and Sue, on her right, would quickly remove his arm from Diina. "I'm trying to watch the match."
"No, you're watching Potter," Draco snapped back, snaking his arm around her yet again.
"It's none of your business who I watch. And if you don't like it, then don't watch me watch him!" Diina replied as Sue freed her from Draco. "If you put your arm around me one more time, I'll rip it off."
Draco dropped into his seat and seethed angrily, plotting Potter's demise. Naturally, this was all Potter's fault.
"Potter's got the Snitch! GRYFFINDOR WINS!" Spivey crowed.
"You know Draco, if you watched Harry, you might learn how to catch the Snitch," Diina jeered, not taking her eyes off Harry. She never saw Sue's malicious grin, and never realized that Sue was sneaking up behind her. All she saw was Harry rocketing towards her on his Firebolt. Sue gave her a push forward and Diina instinctively threw her hands up to catch herself. What she caught was Harry's arm as he snatched her up out of the stands.
"Mission complete!" Sue crowed. "All that practice paid off. He did so well, I'll have to forgive him for all the times he dropped me."

Harry knew that the moment he snatched Diina, every camera would be on them. Photographers from the Daily Prophet, the Quibbler, and other newspapers and magazines had been banned from the castle, but they were still permitted to attend the Quidditch matches. And when he hefted Diina onto his broom and gave her a passionate kiss, what seemed to be a thousand flashes surrounded them as the photographers captured the shocking moment when Voldemort's greatest enemy publicly showed his love for Voldemort's niece.
