Chapter Forty Five

Quidditch Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw

The match that day was one that was going to be an interesting one. The Gryffindor team was in the lead for the Quidditch cup, and they were facing the second place team in the Ravenclaws. Harry wasn't to worried, but still this wasn't going to be an easy match. Madame Hooch blew her whistle after giving her instructions to the two team captains. "Now you two teams play clean and have a good match. On my whistle you are to kick off, and then I will let the balls go for the match to begin." 'tweet' the whistle went off, and all fourteen players from both teams kicked off into the air. Madame Hooch let the Bludgers and the Quaffle go before she let the Snitch go indicating the start of the game.

Katey Bell took the Quaffle and went into a race towards the Ravenclaw goal posts at top speed. She passed the Quaffle off to Angelina Spinnet who shoots and scores. The score was now 10 to 0 in favor of Gryffindor.

Harry was high above the crowd and action keeping an eye out for the Snitch, while also keeping from being hit by the Bludger. He saw that the Ravenclaw Seeker was tailing him along, and that Cho was also looking for the Snitch. "How are you doing today Cho? Isn't it a beautiful day for the match?" Harry was trying to make nice talk to the girl with the black hair.

"Well hello Harry, yes it is a great day to fly and have a good match." The chaser for Ravenclaw just scored on a good beat of Oliver Wood. The score was now Ravenclaw 10 Gryffindor 10, a tie score. "I am doing great, thank you for asking. So how are you enjoying it here at Hogwart's so far?" She was being nice, and they were having a nice little conversation far above the deafening crowds while also searching for the Snitch.

"I am finding that this is a great school, and that I am meeting new and interesting friends. Have you heard anything about what is going on with the Heir of Slytherin, or who it might be?" As they were talking, Angelina took the Quaffle and scored another time. It was now 20-10 in favor of Gryffindor.

"The only thing that I have heard were the rumors that it might have been you, but that was squashed in the bud when so many people were for you not being it. I never believed it in a for a minute that you were the Heir Harry. I'm glad that things turned out good, and that you aren't it. How is your Unicorn Lightning, and your friend Hermoine doing?" She was curious and concerned for Harry's well being. They might have been adversaries on the Quidditch Pitch, but she liked Harry as a friend, and was concerned for his well being. The scoring was now going at a fevered pitch, and it was now tied at 120 points.

"They are both doing great. Hermoine should be getting out of the Hospital wing along with Mrs. Filch and Colin Creevey within the month. Lightning is growing like a weed, and she is doing great." As they were having this last conversation, Ravenclaw took the lead by 30 points, and it looked like their Keeper was blocking all of Gryffindors shots pretty well. "Damn, well if you will excuse me Cho, I need to go get the Snitch before your team gets to far ahead of us and we don't win." He gave her a wry smile, and reached behind her head and grabbed the Snitch before she knew what was happening. "Thank you for the conversation Cho, it was great talking to you again. I hope that classes are doing good, and keep doing good for you. Now if you will excuse me, I just caught the Snitch while you were trying to figure out what I was talking about to see that it was right behind you. Good game, and better luck next time." Harry made his way down to the Pitch with the Snitch in his hand. The crowd was going crazy with the way that Harry caught the Snitch.

"Gryffindor won, Gryffindor won. The final score of this game folks was, 270-150 for the Gryffindors. Thank you all for joining us today for this most interesting game."

With that the students made their way away from the Pitch and the teams went on their way after congratulating each other on a good game. The Gryffindor team along with the other friends of Harry's, made their traditional trip to Hogsmeade for an after Game party. It went great, but they were all wondering when the other friend will be joining them again.

A/N: I know that this chapter was probably lame, but it was just a filler chapter. I will be getting more into the story more in next chapter. Thank you for everyone's reading and reviewing. —Donald
