Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
A/N- A big thank you to all of my readers! You guys are the people who keep me writing this stuff. As requested, I will do my best to make my chapters longer, but I can't promise it. Thank you to Ascataurien, Professor Smith, Hermione's evil twin, Detrianelle, and Megan Mystic for reviewing! And now on with the show!
Previously on Sphinx~ "Harry, I want you to lose the next Quidditch match. Ravenclaw hasn't had a lot of glory, and before I pick a boyfriend from another house, I want to give them some honor."
Harry opened his mouth to speak, but Cho covered it with her finger.
"Don't give me your answer now. Give it to me at the end of the Quidditch match. Till next time, Harry."
Cho quietly gave him a short kiss, and with a final smile, walked off.
** Harry began to run down the passageway to the Gryffindor tower. After swiftly giving the password to the Fat Lady, he darted inside.
"Ron!" he shouted to his friend. "I have to talk to you."
"Okay, let's go up to the dormitory."
As soon as they were in the boys' dormitory alone, Harry spilled out what happened. Once he was done Ron gave a low whistle.
"Wow, have we got a problem on our hands," said Ron, running his fingers through his hair. "You want to go out with Cho, and Hermione doesn't want to be enslaved by Malfoy. Damn! Are you sure that it wasn't a Slytherin disguised as Cho?"
"No one else knew about the letter. Don't you remember? Cho came and talked to me about twenty minutes after I sent Hedwig off with it. She told me that she didn't like me that way and only wanted to be friends."
"Harry, I wish I could help you out with this, but this choice is your own. You have two chances of a life time on hand. You are going to have to throw one away."
"Yea."
Suddenly a female voice broke through the air.
"Harry? Ron? Are you up here?"
"Remember that it is your choice," Ron said to Harry. Then he turned his head and yelled down the stairs to Hermione, "Yea, we are. Come on up."
Soon enough, Hermione had bounded up the stairs. She gave them all a bright smile.
"So you ready for the big game tomorrow, Harry?" she asked.
"Erm, I guess so," he replied.
Harry looked over at Ron as they gave each other a worried glance.
**
The day of the Quidditch match dawned bright and early. Harry had tossed and turned all night long. He began to get even more worried as he dressed himself in his Quidditch robes.
The Gryffindor team flew out to loud cheers. Harry's stomach began to do flip-flops as they landed. As the captains began the ritual hand shake, Cho winked at Harry.
The balls were released, and the game began. Katie Bell automatically grabbed the Quaffle and quickly flew towards the Ravenclaw goal. She was stopped by a Ravenclaw chaser who grabbed it out of her arms. Fred lunged a Bludger towards the chaser's head, and was a direct hit. Angelina Johnson was quick to score after grabbing the Quaffle back.
"AND TEN POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!" announced Lee Jordan, who was doing the commentary.
Harry watched the game from above and searched for the Snitch. A shadow fell next to him and he looked to the side. It was Cho. Damn, that woman always kept sneaking up on him.
"Remember what I said Harry," she said.
"Yea, I do."
"And what is your answer?"
"This," he said as he began charging after the Snitch as it flew near the Ravenclaw stands. Cho began to follow, but slowly. Harry felt himself slowing his broom down, but Cho was still about a hundred yards away. He circled and plunged down to the ground. Cho caught up as he slowed down again. Now they were side to side. Once they were a foot away from grasping the tiny golden ball, Harry smiled at Cho and stopped his broom. Cho immediately grabbed the Snitch.
"RAVENCLAW WINS WITH ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY POINTS TO FIFTY! THIS IS THE FIRST LOSS BY GRYFFINDOR SINCE BEFORE HARRY WAS SEEKER. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, HARRY!"
