"Miss Y/ln will you please pay attention? That is the second time I've seen you staring out of the window" Flitwick huffed.

You sighed looking down at your hands as Flitwick continued teaching.

You purposely missed detention last night, you didn't want to face Snape after what had happened but it was all you could think about.

Once lessons were over for the day you returned to your dormitory to change ready for the quidditch match that late afternoon, Slytherin vs. Hufflepuff. You noticed a letter had been slid under your door so you picked it up and opened it.

'Dearest Y/n,

Great news! Your father will be home for Christmas meaning we can spend it together, how exciting?

Now you've made the quidditch team you just need to brush up on your grades and you'll be on top in no time.

All my love,

Mother'

Finally a Christmas together as a family for once, it was exactly the positive news you needed after what felt like a crumbling year so far. You changed into your quidditch uniform and walked down to the pitch, the air felt as cold as ice.

"Hey Y/ln, ready for the game?" Terence shouted from a far, he was sitting on a side bench lacing up his boots.

You picked up your broom and walked over.

"Hello Terence, yes I'm ready! Hufflepuff should be an easy one right?" You laughed, Terence agreed laughing with you.

You both got on your brooms ready in position. The whistle sharply blew and the whole stadium became alive with cheering from fellow students whom waved their house flags in support.

During the match you noticed Snape sitting in the Slytherin booth, watching your every move.

I bet he's mad at me for not attending detention

"Y/n the snitch!" Draco shouted at you.

The golden snitch flew into your face and off into the distance ahead, you both started racing after it.

"I'll get it Draco" you shouted.

Draco held back letting you take the lead. You tried to focus on grabbing the snitch but your mind strayed elsewhere imagining when Snape bit his lip and grabbed your wrist tight.

What am I going to say to Snape?

Suddenly a bludger flew straight into your side causing your broom to jerk, you groaned from the pain. Before you could continue a Hufflepuff seeker pushed past you and caught the snitch.

The whistle immediately blew and the Hufflepuff crowd roared with screams and cheers.

"Hufflepuff wins the game" the commentator announced.

The whole of the Slytherin team looked over at you in disappointment.

When you returned to the ground and got off of your broom Marcus Flint walked up to you.

"Are you mad Y/ln? You basically gave that game away to Hufflepuff" He moaned.

You stood in silence.
