-Quidditch Pitch-

"Spinnet passes the quaffle to Bell, Davis tries to intercept it but Bell hits the quaffle back to Spinnet"

"Pierces steps forward to catch him, ready to steal the quaffle, but Spinnet won't let it and... Wow! Spinnet makes a false catch and lets the quaffle pass, which is now in Johnson's hands!" Lee, who was in the commentator and narrator's stands exclaimed, but even though he tried to cheer up the Gryffindors, they remained quiet, looking sadly at the scoreboard.

"She shoots towards the Ravenclaw goals... Oh, the bludger thrown by Samuels almost hits our lovely chaser, but lucky for us we have our dynamic duo, the Weasleys"

"Johnson continues to charge forward unhindered, showing off her amazing flying skills" Lee said, getting to his feet, a little happy to see that Gryffindor was going to score another goal, not that it made any difference, "She's almost in front of Ravenclaw's goals and... By Morgana! He attacks again!"

"Night, appearing seemingly out of nowhere, snatches the quaffle from Johnson's arms and darts like a Pliffin looking for mead towards the Gryffindor goals! Will anyone be able to stop him?"

"Night charges past everyone at high speed, with no one able to catch or stop him, and he then prepares to throw the quaffle at the left hoop—But wait! That was a feint! Night threw the quaffle at the right hoop, giving Wood no chance to try to make a save!" Lee, at that moment didn't know how to feel, as he was torn between feeling sad about the Gryffindor situation or excited to be seeing a match like this.

"By Merlin's beard! We are looking at a historic moment in Hogwarts history!" Lee said somewhat in awe, looking at the match taking place on the field with wide eyes.

"With this goal, Ravenclaw extends their lead even further! With a score of 370 to 940, Ravenclaw unquestionably break the record for most points scored in a season in the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup!" Lee said in one breath, and the Ravenclaw crowd, as well as Hufflepuff and a few Slytherins cheered, no longer caring about the defeat of their Houses.

Everyone already knew that victory would go to Ravenclaw as soon as the match had started, but seeing a 500-year-old record be broken was something incredible, and that's why all Quidditch lovers and even those who just came here out of curiosity were cheering, because in a way way they were being part of that history.

But not paying attention to the students around him, Lee continued, "Actually, the record was broken a long time ago, and now Ravenclaw is creating its own unbeatable record! And it's all thanks to a single student, who alone scored a total of 690 points, and his name is Eeeethan NIGHT!"

And with that line from Lee I flew at high speed in front of the stands, and the students cheered and applauded, with the Ravenclaws chanting my name.

Even though I wanted to stay focused on the match, I still let a small smile break out on my face watching this scene and hearing everyone cheer happily.

My reaction would be expected from anyone, as everyone would like to be applauded or praised at some point in their lives.

"But that's not all! All of you may not know it, but in that match alone three records were broken... Yes, THREE!" Lee said, surprising everyone. He then picked up a parchment that was in front of him and started reading it, with everyone paying attention to his next words.

"In addition to the record for the most points scored in a season, Ravenclaw also broke the record for the biggest point difference between one house and the others!" and this caused the Ravenclaws to cheer, with the others nodding their heads as something like this was to be expected.

"But wait, it's not over yet! The next record was broken not by a house, but by a person!" Lee said mysteriously, "The last record was set 700 years ago in one of the most historic matches at this amazing school!"

"And who broke the record for most points scored by a single player in a season with 1510 points scored was Ravenclaw's silver star... ETHAN NIGHT!!" Lee shouted with a look that said even he couldn't believe this was happening.

And at this moment, everyone on the quidditch pitch and in the stands stopped, letting a silence hang over the place.

And I, who was flying, also stopped, blinking in surprise, being surprised by this information just like everyone else.

'What?' I wondered, and I could feel that slowly everyone was turning their faces to look at me.

Be it students, teachers, school staff, and even guests, everyone looked at me with wide eyes, not knowing how to react.

But this lack of reaction didn't last long, because someone started cheering and applauding, and I could hear that person's voice from afar, recognizing the dreamy voice of the blonde Ravenclaw who had a dream of finding a Crumple-Horned Snorkack.

And with Luna breaking the silence, the others soon joined in, and not a second later everyone was once again clapping and cheering excitedly.

'Well, I guess I have Harry to thank for that' I thought, glancing slightly at the Gryffindor Seeker, who caught my gaze and just shrugged with a wry smile.

After that the match continued, with me continuing my continued attack on Gryffindor's goals, and meanwhile Cho hovered around the pitch looking around, trying to find the snitch.

Harry wasn't idle either, and continued looking for the snitch. But unlike before he wasn't so worried about the results of the match anymore, as it was clear to everyone who would be the winner, and so he was enjoying his time in the air.

Flying and maneuvering with his Firebolt, Harry had a bright, adventurous smile on his face, and I could see it, feeling relieved that defeat wasn't getting to him.

And in the visitors stands, Professor McGonagall looked at the players while sighing.

"Well, I guess that means this is another year without Gryffindor winning the Quidditch Cup," she said.

"That's sad, but look on the bright side" Remus started to say, catching the cat teacher's attention, "At least Slytherin won't win"

Blinking at this, Professor McGonagall thought for a moment before realizing he was right.

Remus, seeing that he managed to ease some of Professor McGonagall's sadness, smiled. He then turned to Sirius, noting that he was fully focused on the match.

"And don't worry Sirius, Harry is a strong boy, one defeat won't shake him" Remus said, making Sirius turn to him.

Seeing Remus' attempt to comfort him, Sirius chuckled lightly, looking back up at the sky, seeing Harry flying by with a gleeful gaze.

"You're right, Harry is a strong boy," He said with a soft and somewhat proud smile.

-Ravenclaw Common Room-

"Woo! We are the best!"

"The best house at Hogwarts!"

"Yes! No one can stop the eagles..."

"Ravens"

"Yes, ravens, that's what I meant"

After the match ended and Ravenclaw were declared champions of the 93/94 Quidditch Cup the whole team gathered to receive the cup and medals, and in addition to that we also received a small award to congratulate us on breaking the records.

And after a big group hug where all the Ravenclaws came from the stands to join us, all the Ravens went to the common room to celebrate.

Everyone was happy and smiling, and we knew this was going to be the biggest celebration we've had so far.

And I, as one of the main reasons for our victory, was being congratulated by everyone along the way, whether it was my housemates or my other friends.

And speaking of my friends, they were here with me, celebrating and joking as they ate and drank the food that one of the older students smuggled out of Hogsmeade.

And when I say my friends, I'm also talking about my friends from other houses, who I invited to join the party.

Nobody tried to stop them from entering the common room, mainly because I was the one who invited them, and the other ravens must have thought I deserved this free pass, not that I minded.

"Man, today was an exciting day" Stephen commented.

"Yes" Megan agreed, "I don't think I've ever seen a Quidditch match as lively and exciting as that one, even though everyone already knew what the result of it would be... And I've been to a lot of Quidditch matches with my aunt."

"Yeah, I was excited too, and I don't even like Quidditch and I already knew Ravenclaw was going to win" Lily said.

"Actually I was still hoping that Gryffindor would win" Hannah, who had come to accompany Susan, said, making everyone stare at her.

Having so many people stare intently at her made Hannah cringe in her seat.

"Did she just say that from inside the Ravenclaw Common Room?" Justin asked in a whisper to Fay, who nodded, "Hmm, and I thought Gryffindors were the brave ones"

"And we are?" Fay looked at him offended, with Justin raising his hands in surrender.

Seeing everyone joking I let a smile show on my lips, taking a sip of my Butterbeer.

After taking a sip of my drink, I stopped to think about something that had been on my mind since the match ended.

'I just hope Harry isn't saddened by the loss, and I also hope no one blames him or the Gryffindor team for losing by a huge points gap'

'Hmm, and speaking of Harry, I didn't think of this before, but now that Sirius is free, is the Headmaster still going to send Harry to live with his aunt and uncle for the holidays?' I wondered.

'Well, I'm sure Sirius won't allow it, and if I have anything to say about it, I won't either' I thought, already making some plans.

End.

(End AN: Zombie movies are my favorite genre of horror movies, and maybe that's because seeing a person or a group trying to survive in an apocalyptic world is very tense and terrifying, but interesting.)
