The game came and went. Slytherin destroyed Ravenclaw, as expected, their chasers running up the score while Cartello kept the ravens out of their goal. Harry delayed catching the snitch until Slytherin was up by 200, ending the game with a tidy 370-20 win. Harry did his best to bask in the team’s success, but it was hard. Tom hadn’t come to the game. Harry felt his absence like a bludger had torn its way clean through his ribcage.
