High by Equinox Chick
Summary: Scorpius Malfoy is the Seeker for Slytherin. Not only that, he's the best Seeker at Hogwarts, and it's his catches that win matches. But this year things are different; Albus Potter has switched to Chaser and the new Gryffindor Seeker is his annoying little sister.
This is the story of how one match and one missed catch can change your life.

This is the end (my friend) of High. I need to thank Natalie (hestiajones) for fixing my dreadful commas and resisting the urge to change Lily's name to Hugo. Much ♥, Natatat. And I have to thank all of you who have stuck with this story. Your reads, reviews and kind comments have been much appreciated.
