Ginny stormed out of the Entrance Hall fuming.
"How dare him! He is such a hypocrite! He yells at me for kissing Dean and then he goes and snoggs his precious Lav-Lav."
Ginny entered the locker room and grabbed her broom. It was common knowledge that when Ginny needed to blow some steam she would go flying for hours at a time. But when the redhead entered the Quidditch Pitch, she found her self not alone; she instantly forgot why she was angry when she noticed a cute Hufflepuff on the field.
Ginny walked over to the Hufflepuff who was kicking a black and white ball the size of a Quaffle. She realized it was Ricky Stephen, who was in her year.
"What are you doing?" She asked as he started to kick the ball quickly between his feet.
"Playing football."
"What's football?"
The Hufflepuff instantly looked up, "What's football? Oh wait you're a Pure-blood aren't you?" Ginny nodded. "It's a muggle sport."
"How do you play?"
Well there is a goalie which is kind of like a keeper. The there are players who are like chasers. They have to try to get the ball in the goal. You wanna try?"
"Sure."
Ginny watched Ricky walk into the space between two goal posts. Ginny then picked up the ball and before Ricky could say anything, she maneuvered right, left, right again.
"This is like Quidditch without Bludgers, Snitches and Brooms."
She threw the ball and scored! But Ricky didn't even try to stop it.
"You let me score."
"You can't use your hands."
"What?"
"In football you can't use your hands."
"Then what do you use? Brooms?"
"No, your feet."
"Oh well that's kind of stupid. What kind of sport doesn't allow you to use your hands?"
"Football. It may be a muggle sport but I love it."
"Do you play?"
"Yeah, during the summer I play."
The two red-heads went back to playing football. Ginny found the sport to relive stress and anger better than flying. After a couple hours Ginny decided to head in since it was getting dark.
For the rest of the year whenever Ginny needed to blow some steam, she would kick around a football. It was a common sight to see Ginny and Ricky playing football on the Quidditch pitch during the weekends.
