The first of the Weasley twins' shot was blocked, and when Krum's shot went through the Durmstrang section cheered loudly, they had the lead.
The second Weasley twin was successful, but so was their own beater Hahn. Durmstrang led three to two and their cheers only grew louder.
Next came Chang's whose made goal was a shock to many and it rejuvenated the Hogwarts side, especially after Heinrich missed.
This only left Draco Malfoy and Igor Nikola. Draco smirked, before flying like a bullet towards Miroslav before pulling up at the last second, lofting the quaffle over the Durmstrang keeper.
The Hogwarts and Beauxbatons section were like a roaring storm, and their cheers threaten to deafen the spectators. It all came down to Nikola.
He started slow, going at an easy pace, swerving left and right. Fleet stuck with him, but when Nikola continued to go left, he went right, leaving a wide-open goal for him to score.
"WHAT A MATCH!" Lee screamed. "I have just been informed that it is now SUDDEN DEATH! The first to break the tie wins!"
Durmstrang would go first, and Nikola eagerly grabbed the quaffle. He started off similar to his last, before plowing ahead as Draco had done.
At the last second, he dived up and right as he released the quaffle. Fleet had guessed wrong, but the slight gust of wind caught the quaffle and it bounced off the Hogwarts' keeper's extended foot.
The silence around Aries threatened to suffocate him, and he could do nothing as Draco sealed their fate. He played no tricks this time, simply outclassing Miroslav, and scoring the winning goal.
The stadium was loud as the Durmstrang students left the stadium with broken-hearts.
While Aries was disappointed at the result he was proud of Draco's performance, and made a point to come congratulate his friend, much to the chagrin of the Hogwarts' students.
….
Aries' stood impatiently at the entrance hall. Potter, Diggory, and Davies' joined in their wait for their dates. Chang came first, followed by Susan Bones.
That surprised him as he thought Potter would take the Weasley girl, but Bones was a better choice for a number of reasons.
Fleur came next and she was positively radiant. Nearly every eye in the hall followed her, but it was the next girl that caught his attention.
Daphne Greengrass walked down the steps in her exquisite silver dress. There was slit in the bottom, allowing him a glimpse of her long legs.
The top left her shoulders bare and her hair was up in a braid that formed a halo around her head.
Aries thought she might be the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and he prayed that his hopes for the girl worked out.
He took her hand and placed a soft kiss to it, before pulling her close and placing another on her cheek.
"You look magnificent darling." Aries whispered softly before pulling away from her.
Professor McGonagall led them into the Great Hall, where many of the students had already begun taking their seats.
The champions sat at the table at the end of the hall, where the Headmasters of the school joined them.
The rest of the staff occupied two tables just below it, and he saw Professor von Reich having a conversation with Professor Flitwick.
Aries could not help but wonder who would win between the two international duelists. The Hogwarts' elves served up another fantastic meal and the conversation down the table was light and merry.
He was surprised that wine had been served, Daphne taking full advantage, though Aries was far more interested in the not so subtle glances the Weasley twins were giving the bowl of bunch.
The food vanished and a light overture began, signaling the opening dance. Aries noted, with much surprise, that Hermione Granger was sitting next to Viktor, who looked far more nervous than he ever had before a Quidditch match.
Ron Weasley, who sat at the same table with a rather put out looking Indian girl, had a furious look on his face. Aries pulled Daphne into his arms and began the waltz.
Aunt Cassiopeia had drilled the art of dancing into him at a young age, refusing to allow him to embarrass her at any of the German Ministry balls they attended.
If Daphne was surprised, she did not show it, and gracefully followed his lead. It was as the song ended, and others began to enter the dancefloor, that Aries noticed Arianna.
She had slight bags under her eyes that she had tried to hide with makeup. Otherwise she was her normal gorgeous self, except that she was on the arms of Elia Kruger.
The sixth-year had been his rival last year and the scar Aries had given him during their vicious honor duel remained, a small cut across his cheek, so he would always remember his defeat, and the mercy he had received.
He slipped into Arianna's mind to find it a confused jumble, a sign that the girl was already drunk, and he felt her jealousy, but also the hope of inspiring jealousy in him.
If that was her goal, she would be sorely disappointed. Aries pulled Daphne closer to him, pushing Arianna out of his mind, as the next song began.
Aries breathed in the cool air of England as he and Draco stepped outside the castle. Daphne had wanted to spend a few moments with her friends and he had welcomed a break from the warm Great Hall.
They both had a glass of firewhiskey in their hands and had been sipping it slowly for awhile now. The Weasley twins had spiked the bunch, but thankfully he had brought his own flask full of his favorite drink.
"Parkinson looks like she's having fun." Aries said with a laugh. Draco's sour face was priceless.
"If only de Cordova hadn't gone with that idiot." Draco muttered. "Merlin, I hate Pansy. All she cares about is her damn clothes and the latest gossip."
