It was the day of the match between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor and the whole school was counting down the hours till it started. Estella and Padma were walking into the great hall for breakfast, chatting away.  While walking to their table, Hermione said from her spot next to Ron, "Good morning, Estella and Padma!"

"Good morning, Hermione!" the two girls replied.

"Are you ready for your house to lose today?" Estella asked jokingly.

"I think that's the question we should be asking you. Remember, we have Harry Potter on our team," she replied in a mocking tone.

"And they have Cho Chang on their team," Harry Potter added with a laugh.

"Well, in all seriousness, good luck today," Estella said with a smile.

"Good luck to you guys too," Hermione replied.

The day went on and it was time for the match. As usual, the stands were filled with students. Estella, Padma, and Luna were cheering their hearts out while Cedric laughed.

"It's almost unnatural to see this side of you all," Cedric stated. The girls continued cheering.

"That Firebolt can really fly," Padma said after awhile.

"Yeah, but I strongly believe that Cho will pull through," Estella replied.

Later on, it became evident that Harry and Cho found the golden snitch and were trying to catch it. Everyone's attention was on Harry since he was so close to catching it. Then, a scream came out of Cho. All eyes turned toward what she was screaming at, only to see three dementors in the stands. Almost immediately, a bright silver stag was shot at them.

While everyone was trying to process what was happening, it became clear that the dementors were not actually dementors. It was Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle dressed as the eerie things.

Estella watched in confusion as Professor McGonagall made her way over to the three with a furious look on her face. All the while, Harry had caught the snitch which made all of Gryffindor cheer at the win.

"I swear Slytherins can't let us have nice things," Padma said sighing.

"But it was just three of them that tried to sabotage the match," Luna stated.

"Right, but it's always the same three," Padma added.

Estella stayed quiet. She knew there was no beating around the bush, Draco tried to ruin the match. Why was he always like this? She thought. Why did she always end up back here? Questioning Draco's true self and commitment to his words.

Later that night, Estella was walking with Padma to the common room after dinner. The two were talking when Draco called Estella's name. They stopped and turned around.

"I'll see you later," Padma said with a roll of her eyes.

"Okay," Estella replied, watching the girl walk away.

"What's her problem?" Draco asked once he got by Estella's side.

"Nothing," Estella answered, turning her attention to the boy.

"Oh, well that was some win today," Draco said snarly.

"I guess," Estella said.

"Ridiculous. Tried to sabotage it all so they wouldn't win and what happens? They win anyway and Slytherin loses fifty points," Draco scuffed.

"Well I mean, you kind of deserved it," Estella stated.

The boy looked into her eyes with a frown.

"We almost did you and your house a favor," Draco said.

"Do you hear yourself? You went out of your way to mess up a game all because of some petty little rivalry you have with Harry," Estella said.

"What would you know about-"

"What wouldn't anyone know about it? Honestly Draco, grow up. You can't say you want to be one way then not do anything to get it," Estella shot back before walking away.

Once she got to the common room she walked in to see Padma sitting in a chair reading a book. Estella walked over to the couch next to her and plopped facedown onto it.

"So, how'd it go?" Padma asked, turning a page.

"We're like two galaxies colliding. First we hit, then bounce back a little, and then crash into each other again."
