It was late at night. Emily stayed in the astronomy tower after Oliver left. She was looking at the stars. She admired the dark sky. It was a miracle. No one knew what was out there. That made people even more interested and curious to know it's secrects.

Emily walked back in the common room and went straight to her dorm.
She walked in and found Blair sitting on her bed with a book in her hands.

'I see no Fred tonight. What happened?' Emily chuckled and went to lay on her bed.

Blair just rolled her eyes but then the worried face came on. 'Where were you all day? I looked everywhere for you. When I heard that the results were out I was sure that you would have a breakdown even if you knew them already.'

'That's so comforting' she said sarcastically.

'Seriously where were you?' Blair asked looking into her best friend's eyes.

'I was at the top of the astronomy tower.' she said.

Blair looked at her with a raised eyebrow. 'Why?'

'It makes me feel better when I'm sad'

'Since when?'

'Since now!'

'You were with Wood, weren't you?' Blair said and made Emily look away. 'I knew it. Come on Em we all know that you like him'

'Can you stop saying that already?' Emily said 'He's just a-'

'good friend' Blair mocked her. 'Why? Why can't you just say that you like him?'

'Because I don't...' she said 'I mean, of course you can say he's attractive and his Scottish accent is just, wow and he is a terrific Quidditch player and the way that he cares about others is really nice, but I don't....'

'Emily shut up.' Blair cut her off. 'From everything you just said, even Marcus Flint could understand that you like him.' Emily looked at her hands. 'No let's fall asleep because it's a big day tomorrow.'

Emily's head kept playing the same memory. The way they were on top of the astronomy tower looking at the sky and then each other. Her green eyes lost inside his brown ones. Oh Merlin she thought I do like him.

Finally. It was the day for the first Quidditch match of the season. Gryffindor versus Slytherin. It was always the first match of the season. Since hogwarts was made Gryffindor and Slytherin were two completely different houses and there was always a conflict between them. So everyone was excited about it.

Emily was the first to wake up. Although she wasn't a pureblood she was a huge Quidditch fan since a little girl. She was a half-blood. Her father was a muggle and that was the reason she never met her grandparents from her mother's side. From the moment her mother married her father, her parents never spoke to her again. Classic pure blood family.

Emily grabbed her scarf and ran to breakfast. She went inside the great  hall and saw Oliver giving his pre-match pep talk. She smiled and went to sit at the Ravenclaw table. Oliver probably had noticed her coming in so he ended his talk earning a round of applause from his teammates. He stood up and made his way to the Ravenclaw table.

'Morning' he said to Emily while sitting next to her with a big smile on his face.

She chuckled 'I see you're really excited about the Quidditch match.'

'Yeah, we're going to beat Slytherin as well as Fred and George beat the bludgers.' he said. 'Why are you up so early?'

'You know I never miss the first match of the season.' she said. 'and also they said that Draco Malfoy got into the Slytherin team. If he is their seeker you've already won.' they laughed.

Blair walked into the great hall. She spotted Emily and Oliver and smirked while she walked to them. George noticed Blair walking in so he wispered something in Fred's ear and they both stood up.

'Hi guys.' Blair said to Emily and Oliver with a smirk. Fred came behind her and grabbed her in a hug.

'And she smirked at us.' Emily chuckled and Oliver came right after. Blair didn't listen she was too busy kissing Fred. 'Hey, get a room' Emily, Oliver and George said all together. They laughed at themselves.

Fred and George both sat at the Ravenclaw table until it was time for the match. Oliver stood up looked at the time and yelled 'Come on guys we have a Slytherin to win.'

'Wood if you scream one more time I'll hit YOU with a bludger, not Flint, not Malfoy, YOU.' Fred said giving Blair one last kiss and left.

'Can I start now' Emily said to Blair which was red.

'No!' she said and Emily laughed.

'I knew that you were just the perfect couple' she said and stood up. 'Now we have to go cheer for the Gryffindors'

'Good idea.' Blair said and they made their way to the Quidditch pitch.

---------------------------------------------------------

Gryffindor was loosing 0 to 70. It was horrible. The Slytherins had their new broomsticks and were unstoppable. Wood was furious. Fred and George were trying to save Harry Potter because a bludger kept following him. It was definitely hexed. Harry just got away from the bludger one more time and Oliver turned to him. 'Watch yourself Harry!'

'Wood look out!' Harry said and Emily's eyes went to the same bludger that now was so close to Oliver. The bludger hit Oliver's broomstick. 'Wood!!' Emily screamed. She grabbed Blair's hand really hard. 'Is he ok?'

Madam Hooch ran to wood without stopping the game. He gave him a spare broomstick and he started playing again. Emily let out a sign of relief. Everyone turned to Harry who has now to close to the snich. The same bludger hit his arm making him let out a groan. Everyone thought Harry would give up, but he just continued with his other arm. He fell off his broom but he luckily caught the snich.

'The snich is caught! Gryffindor wins!!!' Lee Jordan said and half of the stadium erupted in celebration.

But the bludger didn't stop. It was still trying to hit Harry. Emily was confused. Who would hex a bludger to kill Harry? A girl with brown hair walked forward and she screamed
'Finite Incatatem' right before the bludger could hit Harry. Professor Lockhart went inside the pitch and ran to Harry. He said something Emily couldn't hear and then he casted a spell on Harry's arm. Emily leaned forward to see what had happened. She looked at Harry's arm which was now...boneless. Everybody looked disgusted at Harry's arm until Hooch dragged him out of the stadium.

Emily ran out of the stands and went into the changing room to congratulate Oliver. She went inside and saw him sitting alone. 'Why so lonely? You just won a Quidditch match.'

'Oh, hi Lewis' he said with a smile trying to hide the fact that he was upset.

'What's wrong?' she sat next to him and put her hand on his shoulder.

'I played terribly today Emily. We may have won but I fell off my broom.'

'Hey' she cupped his cheek and turned him to face her. 'You played great today. It wasn't your fault the bludger was hexed.' she realised where her hand was and tried to pull away but he hold her hand. He started leaning in, but Emily freaked out.

'I-I hav-ve t-to go...' Emily said and ran away leaving Oliver not knowing what was wrong and feeling like an idiot.

---------------------------------------------------------

It was late at night. Emily had no sleep so she secretly made her way around the school. She went through the corridors when she heard something.

'I smell blood. I want to kill. Kill.' she was shocked. What was that? She followed the voice and got to the lower east corridor. She was then shocked. She found a child. With a camera in his hands. He was petrified.
