The pitch erupts in celebration after Barry catches the Snitch and winning Gryffindor the Quidditch Cup for the first time in thirty years.
His teammates rally around him, giving congratulatory hugs and pats on the back. Students and a few of the staff are cheering his name, prompted by Cisco's praising commentaries. The scarlet-clad Seeker jubilantly smiles.
As much as he loves everyone's attention, he feels unsatisfied. Barry looks past Oliver's shoulder and toward the Hufflepuff section. There, uncomfortably sandwiched between Ray and Kara in the front row, is his dour boyfriend.
(Ex-boyfriend, whispers a nagging voice in the back of Barry's mind.)
Julian is clapping along with everyone but more subdued. Ray attempts to rouse his roommate into being more excited, only to back down by a firm glare from the blond.
The Hufflepuff notices Barry staring. They hold gazes for a brief second before Julian turns away with a scowl and wades through throngs of happy housemates to vanish down the stairs.
Barry doesn't chase after him.
