Harry woke up to the sounds of Ron, Dean, and Seamus getting dressed. He sat up and put his glasses on to see that his fellow Gryffindors were already dressed and ready to go. Neville was already down at the Great Hall. He rummaged around for his robes and smiled as he remembered Cedric's note from last night.

"It's the least I can do for him."

"That and kill Voldemort." Said the voice in his head again.

"Who the Hell are you?" Harry practically screamed.

"Patience is a virtue, Harry." The voice said mocking Harry and Dumbledore at the same time. Then the voice softened and said "I… Regret so much… But this isn't the time or place for that discussion, for now I think you should return to dealing with Miss Chang, and your seeker training."

"Now you sound like Hermione."

"Please don't insult me. I'm not THAT bad. Ciao."

Harry walked into the Great Hall ruffling his hair as he looked around and smiled. It was good to be back. He looked around and saw Cho at the Ravenclaw table chatting to the other Ravenclaws that had been chosen for tryouts. She saw his gaze and motioned for him to come over. He grinned and quickly obliged.

As Harry neared the Ravenclaw table all of the Ravenclaw quidditch players got up and surrounded him. He slowly glanced around and saw that he was not in the best possible place.

"Uh… Cho you want to help me out here?" asked Harry secretly hoping she would get him out of whatever he was in.

Cho looked at him with that mischievous glint in her eyes again and Harry's heart plummeted, he knew what her response would be. "Sorry Harry, but we really need to do something about your hair." She said with an innocent smile.

Harry's eyes widened in fear. "Cho whatever I've done to-"croaked Harry before he broke off in a futile attempt to escape the Ravenclaw gauntlet. The two beaters had him by the arms and were dragging him off to the grand staircase. The rest of the team followed and Cho's smile had widened.

As he was dragged past Ron, Hermione, Fred, and George he yelled, "Help me!"

The four Gryffindors looked up trying to conceal their laughter when they all pulled out two galleons and said unanimously, "Sorry Harry, she bribed us."

"You guys are never getting a Knut out of my Will!" screamed Harry at the top of his lungs as the Ravenclaws dragged him kicking and screaming out of the Great Hall. Cho turned around and flashed a thumbs up to the four Gryffindors as they doubled over laughing.

A very irritable Harry returned to the Great Hall with painfully short hair. Cursing himself for being so gullible Harry ran a hand through his now painfully short hair. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to glare at an innocent looking Cho Chang.

"I suppose you must feel so proud." Grumbled Harry "The Great Harry Potter gets done in by a pretty face and her lackeys."

"Is that your way of offering a compliment?" said Cho as she dissected his sentence with a raised eyebrow.

Damn that Ravenclaw motto.

"I- what – "stammered Harry as he tried to utter a coherent sentence.
"Ha! I win again that's two in a row!" said a grinning Cho, "but, thanks for being such a good sport."

"Hey, you should know by now 'demonstrates moral fiber and courage'." Mimicked Harry, "Anyways I gotta run, I'll see you later Cho."

Cho smiled to herself as Harry walked off drawing attention and stares. She whispered to herself, "Thanks Ced." Before she too, walked off.

"Harry, you need to vork on your turns. Cho, ven you pull out ov dives don't go straight up its harder that vay. Draco, … ve more avere of your surroundings, the snitch hovered in front ov you for three minutes before you saw it." Said Viktor at the end of their first months training.

As the four seekers were about to return to the castle Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall were waiting for them at the entrance with the rest of the players.

"Well, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control the tryout date has been moved up." Said Professor Dumbledore to groans.

"When are they?" asked Oliver Wood.

"Tomorrow." Replied Dumbledore to an even greater chorus of groans. "You have all worked hard, there is nothing to worry about, fly your best, no one can expect more. Oh yes I believe the motto is in order."

Harry grinned at Cho, if there was one thing he enjoyed it was the motto of Hogwarts quidditch players that he loved.

"Divide and conquer, we are the champions!" Shouted all of the players.

"So, you ready?" Said Harry in a low voice as he turned to ask Cho.

"Hell no. You saw Krum flying, if that's the level we got to play at I don't see any of us making it." Sighed Cho.

"Oh come on, don't beat yourself up, you're really talented. Plus, with this many people I'm sure someone will get in. Other than Cedric you're the only seeker who gave me a heart attack during the match." Said Harry, he immediately regretted it when he saw Cho's face at Cedric's name.

"Cho, I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"It's fine, it was going to happen sooner or later. Goodbye Harry." Whispered Cho as she entered the castle, as Harry looked on helplessly.

"I'm an idiot."

"Finally! A breakthrough! I had given up hope!" Replied the voice sarcastically.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? And if you say 'patience' one more time…"

"Alright, Alright I get picture don't overreact. Simply say that I'm someone who wants Voldemort gone just as much as you do."

"And how on earth does that help me figure out who you are?"

"It's not suppose to. But before you start whining again remember this spell ' Aduro Incendia' it'll come in handy."

"Thanks?"

"Don't mention it, now I would get back to reality and make sure that girl you fancy isn't pissed off if your hair is any indication."

Harry sat up in the dark and fumbled around for his watch and glasses, as he put on his glasses he looked down at his watch and cursed, it was five in the morning. To nervous and excited to go back to sleep Harry pulled on his Quidditch robes, he looked at his reflection in the window and grinned as he ran his hand through his now short hair. Surprisingly, he enjoyed the new look although he'd never admit it to Cho. He took his wand and secured it inside his robes, after that match with the dementors he wasn't going to take any chances, especially with Voldemort on the loose. As Harry picked up his Firebolt he also pocketed the note from Cedric. He felt stupid but he had the feeling that the note was an embodiment of Cedric, and he wanted him to be there at the tryouts.

As soon as he was out of the castle Harry mounted his broom and he was rising into the sky, he closed his eyes and just breathed as the first rays of the morning sun hit him. He always enjoyed this feeling, it felt like he was at the top of the world.

"You enjoy it too huh?" he heard Cho whisper behind him.

"I didn't think anyone would be up this early." Replied Harry as he shifted his weight on his broom so he could turn around and face her.

"Couldn't sleep. You?"

"Just woke up."

"I always enjoyed watching the sun rise, it reminded me of what's really important in life." Said Cho.

Harry studied Cho's face for a moment and decided it was now or never. "If I don't do this I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"Cho…"

"Yes Harry?"

"I know you already know it from Cedric's letter, but I want you to hear it from me. I really like you Cho, and I just want you to know if you ever need anything, and I mean anything, please don't hesitate to ask." Said Harry as he stared into her chocolate eyes.

"Hmm… not much for originality department." Said Cho with a raised eyebrow and grin, "I'm just kidding Harry! You should see the look on your face. But, I'm glad you said that, really. I really like you too, it's just…" said Cho as her voice faded away.

"Too fast."

The pair sat in silence for a couple minutes before Cho drifted next to Harry and rested her head on his shoulder. He looked down and smiled at her before interlacing their fingers. The two seekers stayed in their position for the next half hour before their stomachs forced them back into the castle.

As the two were walking into the Great Hall Harry ran up next to Cho and whispered into her ear, "I really hope we both make it." She smiled at him and replied "Love the hair." That was Cho for you.

After breakfast the entire school had turned out for the tryouts, Harry and the rest of the players trotted down to the field where they saw Professor Dumbledore, Viktor Krum, and an Asian wizard dressed in plain quidditch robes and a broom over his shoulder.

As they neared the three Harry make out the asian's features more clearly, he suddenly realized that this person had Cho's smile, eye color, and facial structure. Oh god he couldn't be…

"Brother!" squealed Cho as she jumped into his open arms. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"Mei mei, I wish I did but I didn't have time." Whispered Cho's brother apologetically.

"May I introduce Mr. Damon Chang, Auror, and Seeker for the Tutshill Tornadoes." Said Dumbledore plainly, as Damon bowed with a grin.

Harry's jaw literally hit the ground; this guy was living his dream, playing professional quidditch AND being an auror? It didn't get much better than that in his mind.

"I would take the time to get to know all of you, but under the circumstances the tryouts need to start immediately." Said Damon with a wince.

"Mr. Chang, Mr. Krum, and myself will be the primary judges for the tryouts, our results will be verified by a second board to ensure that our decisions are fair." Said Dumbledore lightly. "Now I suggest that the Gryffindor team take off while the rest of you watch."

"Alright! These are the tryouts for the England Junior National Team! Not only are the tryouts being held here but as well as in four different locations across the U.K.! A total of 28 people will be admitted to the team so let's get started!" roared Damon into the magical microphone.

"The Gryffindor team will be playing the seven time champions of England the VRASTA VULTURES!"

Harry looked around and saw the color drain from the rest of his teams faces. The Vrasta Vultures were famous for consistently placing within the top three of the league standings every year. They had won the championship twice in the last three years.

"Someone knocked me out now." Said George as his eyes widened in fear.

"Oliver are you sure about this?" asked Alicia. Oliver just nodded not daring to take his eyes off the Vultures that were now erupting onto the field.

"Let's just give it our best and show them why were Gryffindors" stated Harry as he fired off to meet them.

"Agh! We were so close to!" yelled Fred as he slammed his fist into the wall. They had lost to the Vultures by 10 points. The final score was 360-350. Harry had caught ths snitch just as one of the Vulture's Chasers put one in behind Oliver.

"It's all my fault!" groaned Oliver Wood from the bench.

"Now its time for the next portion of the tryouts! The Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin players will be facing off with their professional counterpart from the Vultures! First up my little sister and Seeker Choooo Chang!" yelled Damon into the mic.

As Cho raced up to meet her professional counterpart Harry couldn't but help feel that something was horribly wrong. He looked around and with a jolt realized what was wrong.

"Dementors!" he shouted as he leapt on his broom and zoomed after Cho. "Tell Dumbledore!"

As he flew up to Cho he kept wishing the Firebolt could go faster. Cho still hadn't noticed that anything was wrong. With rising horror Harry saw no less than a hundred dementors bearing down towards the Ravenclaw seeker, and he wasn't going to make it in time. Screams came from below as people finally started to evacuate, Harry saw a silvery Phoenix take flight and knew Dumbledore must have started combating the dementors, but it wasn't enough Cho wasn't going to get away. Not enough time. He needed more-

"USE THE SPELL I TOLD YOU TO REMEMBER!" erupted the voice from within is mind.

With no time to think of an alternative, Harry reached into his robes and pulled out his wand, he pointed it at the Dementors streaking towards Cho and roared "Aduro Incendia!" A wave of white like blazed out from the tip of his wand and enveloped Cho, the Vulture seeker, and the dementors.

"I'm so sleepy…"

"It's a side-effect of the spell. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier."

"How's Cho?"

"She'll be fine if shaken. Now sleep."

Harry Potter obeyed as he fell backwards off his broom and hurtled towards the ground.
