Moria looked at James and Lily and smiled as James said something making Lily laugh. Apparently the date had gone well. Really well, she realized when Lily kissed James's cheek.

"Aw isn't that sweet?" A voice asked and she turned to look at the boy sitting next to her. "She actually sees how funny he is." Sirius commented eating a piece of his egg. She laughed.

"Hey she had her reasons for being stubborn."

"Which were?" He implored. Moria was silent, trying to figure out a good excuse, but was unable to come up with one, so she shrugged.

"Not a clue what they were. I couldn't even bring up his name early on without her going on some sort of rant." Moria replied eating a piece of her toast. He chuckled before glancing at her.

"Ready for the game today?" he asked changing the subject. She was silent, suddenly beginning to play with her food.

"I guess." Moria finally commented and he looked at her in shock.

"I guess? Now what type of talk is that from my Keeper? Are you getting sick?" he asked pressing his hand to her forehead. She laughed and moved away, playfully slapping his hand.

"No…I guess I'm just nervous."

"Why?" He asked. "It should be like any other Quidditch game."

"I feel like something bad is going to happen." She replied.

"The only thing bad that will happen is Ravenclaw getting their arses handed to them." Sirius retorted stuffing the remainder of his egg into his mouth. She smiled at him, trying to calm his fears as he glanced at her. She would be alright. But she still had this nagging doubt in the back of her mind…that something was going to happen at this match.

She only hoped that it didn't.

Moria grumbled as she sat on her broom, watching the game that was happening on the other side of the field. Besides Elise Prang, the other Beater, she was the only one on the Gryffindor side as everything was happening over in Ravenclaw's side of the field. While on one hand that was a good thing, on the other, more annoying side was that this was shaping up to be a boring game.

"How're you doing Prang?" she called out to the lone Beater near her and Elise groaned.

"This is so boring! I understand that Black wants me to guard the Keeper, but both Bludgers are on the other side aiming at actual moving targets." She complained and Moria laughed. "This isn't fair!"

"Hey, at least you get to usually move 80% of the time-" Moria began to say, however seconds later one of the Bludgers shot away from the horde of witches and wizards on brooms and headed for the pair.

"I got it!" Elise called out and as it zeroed in on Moria, flew in, and swung her bat, hitting the Bludger square in the center. With that it flew off.

"Good hit." Moria called out, with a chuckle. Elise looked behind her and smiled at Moria.

"See this is what I was talking about some excitement in this game is what we nee-!" Elise began to say but Moria's smile fell as she saw the same Bludger make a rebound, circling back.

"ELISE BEHIND-!" she began to call out but as Elise turned around, the Bludger slammed into her broom making the shaft of the broom shatter, and Elise plummeted, slamming hard into the ground. Moria ducked, barely managing to avoid being hit by the Bludger. She literally felt wind from the Bludger as it passed her head by mere inches.

"Too close." She thought to herself as she righted herself and then looked down at Elise who was slowly standing. "You okay Prang?!" she called out, worried about her teammate. Elise looked up, responded with a curse and then a scream.

"Moria! It's making a return!" she screamed and Moria looked behind her to see that it had returned now aimed directly at her. She barely had time to move, the Bludger hitting the trail of her uniform robe. What the hell was going on? It was normal for Bludgers to hit brooms, hell, it was normal for a Bludger to go after a person, but not continuously go after one person.

"Unless it's been hexed." She reasoned. Moria barely had time to comprehend that notion before the round, jet black ball made another loop, rushing towards her again.

And at this moment, Moria wished that a quiet game was what the outcome of this game would be.

"Wow. James is really locked onto the snitch." Lily commented as she followed her boyfriend's zig-zagging path, which was a bit difficult because the rain kept getting into her eyes.

"Odd, I remember last year you hated watching James." Alice teased. "But whatever the case, Gryffindor is sure kicking Ravenclaw's arse."

"Yeah. Moria must be bored out of her mind." Peter commented trying to follow where the quaffle was. With the mention of her name, Alice glanced back at where Moria was, expecting her to be sitting there grumping and shoving her hair back, as she normally did during the slow moments of Quidditch. However she stiffened and leaned forward in shock trying to get a better view of her friend.

"What the bloody hell?" she whispered out getting the attention of the others.

"What? What's so surprising? Moria's just sitting th-" Lily began to say, but as she glanced towards the end of the pitch, she realized what Alice sudden change in mood was for. Her eyes widened.

Moria was dodging a Bludger, weaving around the hoops in an effort to dodge the manic ball that seemed to have had its' sights set on her, while Elise Prang tried to summon Madam Hooch, though it seemed to be in vain. Moria plummeted down for a second, causing the now growing group of Gryffindor's that were noticing their Keeper's distress to think she had been hit, however she stopped inches from the ground and then shot up, shooting up high into the air, whirling around to try and find the ball. She shoved her hair out of her face, the wet strands sliding back to where they had been, much to her displeasure. Remus, by then was trying to get Sirius's attention, though the pureblood was busy sending the other, apparent non-hexed Bludger away from going after James, and thus failed to notice his friends now frantic attempts to summon him. Moria grunted as she flew back to her post, still determined try and stay where she was supposed to. She looked behind her, the last time she had seen it was behind her. But to her panic, it wasn't there anymore. Dammit, where was the-

She looked in front of her, just in time to see the Bludger ricocheting towards her. She moved enough to avoid a direct hit, but not enough to avoid it completely. The Bludger grazed her shoulder, not enough to break it, but enough to force her off her broom. She dimly heard the crowd scream as she began to fall backward, before adrenaline took over again. She quickly snagged her broom's handle, and her broom sunk a little, but thankfully stayed afloat. She grunted trying to force herself back onto the broom. This was proving to be difficult due to the added weight of her watered down clothes, but she needed to be back on her broom before that Bludger circled again. Because as of right now she was an open target...and that DEFINITELY wasn't a good thing.

"Way to go James!" Sirius yelled out, when he saw James finally latch onto the snitch, grabbing it before it darted away. Sirius then heard screams, and he realized that they were not cheers of happiness that the snitch had been caught. They were screams of pure fear and horror.

"SIRIUS!" he finally heard Remus yell out, and he glanced at his friend in confusion, Remus began pointing frantically towards where Moria was. Sirius quickly looked over to where his girlfriend was stationed in question, and felt his insides become ice. Moria had finally managed to pull herself back onto her broom, holding her right shoulder tightly as she settled on the broom, clutching her broom in a death grip with her left hand.

"Moria!" he heard Elise scream out and looked down at her, finally seeing the second bludger, that oddly enough hadn't stopped due to the game ending, shooting down low to the ground, before shooting up aimed directly at Moria. He was too far…too far to try and bat it away. And no matter how fast Moria could have moved, she didn't even have a chance to think it, much less see the offending ball.

The Bludger slammed into her gut, wrenching her completely off of her broom. Even from where he was, even though he was rushing towards the other side of the field, he heard a short scream before he saw her slam into the tallest goal post with a sickening clang, cutting the scream off short, and she plummeted to the ground. She hit the ground hard, bouncing slightly, and rolling a few inches, before becoming still, laying there in a crumpled heap on the sand pit.

He heard Elise call out to her, saw her running towards Moria. He, as well as the rest of the Gryffindor team had now begun to rush over towards their fallen comrade. He spied out of the corner of his eye that Lily and Alice, as well as Remus and Peter were rushing through the now stunned crowd, heading towards where the entrance to the field was. He descended rapidly, not even letting his broom touch the ground before he jumped off, rushing towards where Elise and Moria were. He could hear Elise calling out to Moria, urging her to wake up. The brunette however made no response, much to his panic. He then heard a whistling sound and saw that the Bludger had made a rebound and was headed in the direction where the prone Moria lay.

"MORIA?!" he yelled out in panic, but she was still. So still. He slid in front of the pair, and with a savage grunt, slammed his own bat into the offending hexed Bludger, sending it back a few feet. However it circled around, rushing towards the trio again. Sirius braced himself, fully prepared to bat the damn thing away, again and again, if necessary.

"Aresto Momentum." He heard someone call out and saw the bludger slow then stop inches from him. It still rotated in the air, struggling to free itself from the spell. He and Elise looked up in surprise and they all saw Dumbledore had stood up in the stands, as had many teachers and had finally managed to stop the hexed Bludger. Sirius turned and rushed over to the pair. He could hear Elise calling out Moria's name over and over again as he kneeled down next to Moria, gingerly moving Moria to where she was lying on her back.

"Moria! Moria come on!" he called out, but then froze as he lifted her head to where it was visible in the light. Her goggles lay several inches away from her, the glass part having shattered completely. A large fragment of the glass had sliced into the right side of her forehead, tearing open her skin, and allowing a torrent of blood to slide down her face, staining the sand that that side of her face had been pressed into. He heard a soft groan come from her and was relieved to see her breathing, but other than that she didn't stir.

"Get out of the way! Madam Pomfrey is coming!" he vaguely heard someone say and looked up to see the school nurse rush over to him and began to automatically check on Moria. Other teachers soon after filed in, pushing Sirius away. He tried to keep a visual on Moria but her form disappeared from the teachers' robes. He glanced at his hand that had been supporting her head and froze when he saw blood on it. He stood, now trying desperately to see Moria. Hagrid had rushed over, pushing through the throng of teachers.

"We need to get her to the hospital wing. Quickly!" he heard someone say. He saw Hagrid bend down, pick Moria up and then rush off, Pomfrey following close behind. He spied a pair of limp feet and a limp arm from the back of the gamekeeper before he felt someone dragging him along and saw James had grabbed his arm and was following the crowd of teachers and students.

The only image that stayed with him was Moria…he needed to see Moria.

She was falling. Where she was falling she had no clue. She didn't know how long she had been falling. She could hear voices calling a name…telling that person to wake up. Was it her they were calling for? No. That wouldn't make sense…why would they be calling for her?

Despite this, Moria tried to fight against the darkness. But the more she fought trying to regain consciousness, the farther she fell. She began to cry and tried to call out for anyone.

Her family. Her friends.

Sirius.

But she couldn't find the strength to fight anymore and she sunk farther and farther into the darkness, finally giving up and plummeting farther away from the voices...the light.

Until she became lost in that darkness.
