Today's match pitted Hufflepuff against Slytherin, promising an intriguing contest. Slytherin, ever confident in their superiority, versus Hufflepuff, perpetually striving to prove themselves—it couldn't be more intense.

The stands were packed with students draped in green and yellow, each proudly displaying their house colors. Banners and flags fluttered in the brisk September wind, their vibrant hues catching the warming sun.

You settled beside your best friend, Liliana Comstock, the buzz of anticipation palpable. The Quidditch pitch buzzed with activity, students from all houses waving banners with fervor.

As the game progressed, a chorus of cheers and jeers echoed around the stadium, heightening the excitement. The sun began its descent, casting a golden glow over the field.

With each passing minute, the intensity grew, and you found yourself on the edge of your seat, heart pounding along with the crowd's chants. Hufflepuff's captain executed strategic plays, keeping them in contention until a collective roar erupted as Theseus Scamander secured the Golden Snitch, clinching victory for Hufflepuff.

You jumped to your feet in jubilation, clapping and cheering alongside fellow Hufflepuff supporters, pride swelling in your chest. Liliana grabbed your arm, "Let's go see my brother!" she exclaimed, pulling you along.

Navigating through the jubilant Hufflepuff team on the field, Liliana hurried, almost running, and in the crowd, she inadvertently lost your hand.

Momentarily disoriented, she collided with someone and cursed softly. Looking up, she found herself face-to-face with the captain of the Hufflepuff team, the seventh-year Theseus Scamander, looking more handsome then ever, his deep blue eyes practically scanning her sweat glistening on his forehead, his charming smile highlighting his prominent jawline as he towered over her.

"Are you alright?" he asked in a smooth British accent, his velvet voice calming.
