A shiver went through Harry as he met Viktor's gaze across the clear air. It was Viktor's second time to represent Bulgaria in the World Cup, and Harry's first for England. The entire wizarding world saw this match as a contest more between the two Seekers than the two teams, but only Harry and Viktor knew that there was something even greater at stake.
Viktor had suggested it. Their intermittent affair had necessarily been secret, lest anyone make accusations of collusion and conduct unbecoming to professional Quidditch players. They had encountered each other at a club in Berlin that catered to very specialized tastes, and at the last meeting they had dared to have, back in April, Viktor had proposed that they lay a private wager: whoever caught the Snitch in the World Cup match would have total power over the other for a month. After the game they would go on overlapping long holidays, and rendezvous in secret to carry out the terms of their bet. Harry had agreed to the proposal without hesitation.
Now he sat on his broomstick, waiting for the referee to release the Snitch, and let the doubled need to win fill him with purpose.
