Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own any of this story and unless miracles start happening I never will

A/N: Wow I think that was my largest number of reviews ever for a first chapter, hang on I just checked and it actually wasn't but I'm still very happy with it. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, so here is the second chapter a bit later than I intended because I've had problems uploading

'There you are. We were about to send out a search party' Oliver's friend Jared a chaser on the Cannons greeted him in the hallway of the Chudley Cannons headquarters. Jared was the big player on the team, he was always chasing a different girl usually a model or an actress, he had rugged good looks, and fit the tall, dark and handsome requirements perfectly.

'Why?' Oliver was confused, he was only a few minutes late and didn't think they had anything important to do

'Idiot, we have that sponsorship meeting today' Jared explained quickly with a sly grin on his face

'Oh sorry, I was preoccupied' Oliver couldn't admit he had being thinking almost non-stop about Ginny ever since Percy's party last week, he was surprised that Jared was grinning as sponsorship meetings weren't something that Jared usually bothered about

'Never mind that man, just get a move on, you have to see this bird she is hot' Jared had the reputation as the team flirt, so this description of a women didn't surprise Oliver

'What bird?' Oliver paused in his thoughts, as he was confused again

'Hawkins retired so the company sent this girl instead' Jared was getting impatient

'Well is she any good?' Oliver asked, as team captain he had liked Hawkins who had got them some very good sponsorship deals in the past and had treated Oliver kind of like a son

'Very big reputation. But the point is she's totally hot, sizzling, scorching, she puts Sally to shame' even Oliver had to be impressed with such praise from Jared, Sally was a top model for Witches Weekly and Jared had a long standing infatuation with her

'OK, let's go' Oliver said, he was actually curious to see who this girl was and followed Jared who practically ran into the conference room in his haste to see this women again

'Allow me to introduce our keeper and captain, Oliver Wood' Jared said smoothly as Oliver stepped into the room

'Mr Wood, nice of you to join us' the women's voice came from the mahogany table where she sat in a smart skirt and shirt with her legs crossed casually and a slight smirk playing across her face, it was the person he had being thinking about non-stop for more than a week

'Ginny?' Oliver couldn't believe it, this had to be some kind of weird dream. But on saying her name everybody in the room turned to look at him questioningly

'You know her?' Jared asked finally sounding a bit suspicious

'Yeah she's the Weasley's sister' Oliver explained quickly, the entire team knew a Weasley, Fred and George were often at the same parties as the team and a few of the older players had been to school with Bill and Charlie

'That's alright. For a second there I thought you two were dating or something weird like that' Jared said with obvious relief as he flashed Ginny a very cheeky grin causing her to blush slightly and glance at Oliver who was also blushing. Oliver was angry that Jared would think it weird for him to date Ginny, he wasn't exactly a troll.

Ginny had decided she wanted to watch the first team practice to see how they worked together, so everyone trooped off to their changing rooms

'So Ginny what do you think of our Oliver' Izzy asked sounding innocent as soon as Ginny entered the girls' changing room, Izzy and Christa were both in their mid-twenties, Izzy had being to school at Beauxbeauxons and recently signed as the Cannons new seeker and there were quite a few rumours going round that she was in a secret relationship with Victor Krum. Christa was somebody who Ginny vaguely remembered as a friend of Bill or Charlie's she wasn't sure which, because between all 6 of her brothers they seemed to know every single witch and wizard in the world.

'He's a nice guy' Ginny said cautiously, she didn't like the line of conversation at the moment

'A very good looking nice guy' Izzy continued

'I suppose so' Ginny had a very bad feeling that these girls were going to trap her into saying something about Oliver that she might regret

'You suppose so? You can't tell us that you didn't notice' Christa said incredulously

'It's a very hard fact to miss' Ginny admitted, thinking of how nice it had being dancing with Oliver and how nice it had felt

'Aha, you like him' Izzy leapt up wildly her eyes gleaming, she reminded Ginny of how Parvati acted when she was playing matchmaker

'Yes, as a friend'

'But you two would be perfect for each other, Oliver's the most modest successful Quidditch player you're ever likely to meet' Izzy said like a lawyer trying a case

'Except maybe Harry Potter' Christa said thoughtfully

'Well yes, I don't blame you for having a crush on Harry who wouldn't but the point is that our new friend Ginny hasn't got a boyfriend, Oliver doesn't have a girlfriend and they go really well together' Izzy patiently explained to Christa who blushed and refused to meet Ginny's eyes at the mention of Harry

'Jared hasn't got a girlfriend either, he dumped Helen yesterday' Christa said

'I didn't even know he had dumped Lucy. Jared's a nice guy and all, but he uses women. Seriously Ginny don't get involved with Jared, he's a lot more trouble than he's worth but Oliver's a guy in a million' Izzy said as she left the room with a wink, leaving Ginny slightly shocked and very confused

Meanwhile in the boy's changing rooms, Jared was whispering 'Ginny, Ginny, Ginny' over and over again like a small child in delight while the other boys just rolled their eyes

'Come on Jared, you need to get changed' Sam who was a beater said, he was the oldest player on the team and would be retiring soon, but he still enjoyed having a joke

'Right' Jared snapped back to reality and moved towards his bright orange Quidditch robes, 'So Oliver dish the dirt'

'On what?' Oliver asked playing dumb even though he knew Jared meant Ginny, he had thought of maybe asking her out but Jared would be sure to get in before him and steal her heart

'On the totally hot babe Ginny of course' Jared said her name in glee again

'She's 21, apparently very successful and has 6 very protective older brothers who will kill you if you go near her' Oliver said, and silently added with a sigh that she also had a very jealous admirer who would beat you to a pulp if you broke her heart

'I'm sure I can persuade her brothers to like me, I have to have her' Jared said

'Jared, Ginny's my best friends sister as well as a friend of mine, you better not hurt her' Oliver said warningly, he didn't like the way Jared was talking and he couldn't help feeling very protective towards Ginny, he didn't know why

'Relax Wood, I have no intention of hurting anyone, I just want a little fun' Jared protested, he wasn't used to anyone telling him what he could and couldn't do and didn't really appreciate it

'She's out of your league mate' Derek the chaser who had remained silent along with Paddy the other beater spoke up

'How would you know?' Jared snapped

'I often drink with her brothers Bill and Charlie and they're always going on about how she had this massive crush on some guy named Harry' Derek explained

'Oliver who's Harry? Not that it matters I'm sure I'm more than a match for him' Jared had complete faith in his ability to charm any girl no matter who she liked

'I'm not sure, although at school she always … oh dear' Oliver realised which Harry they were talking about, although he felt he couldn't possibly stand a chance with her now, he was happy she wouldn't get with Jared as long as she fancied Harry

'Spit it out, what could he have that I don't? I've got fame, Quidditch skill, a big house, loads of money, I even have battle scars form the bludger' Jared was getting impatient

'So modest' Paddy muttered, they were all used to Jared's boasting

'It's Harry Potter' Oliver said quietly but everyone heard him

'Oh dear, your plan has hit a massive hitch' Derek laughed

'Were you asking what he had that you didn't?' Sam asked innocently grinning

'He's possibly the most famous wizard of all time' Paddy smiled, it wasn't often they could tease Jared and they were certainly going to make the most of it

'He's got more Quidditch skill than you' Derek said, everyone knew it was true, Harry was the youngest England player ever and the main reason England had suddenly become one of the best teams in the world

'That big mansion where he lets all his friends stay, I bet Ginny's been' Sam winked as Jared paled and slumped down against the wall, he wasn't beaten, he would fight for Ginny he just had to put in more work than he had first thought

'He's filthy rich and generous' Paddy said, Oliver shook himself out of his daydreams about Ginny to join in the conversation

'And he's the only person to ever survive a killing curse, leaving him with a scar from a dark lord, just a bit more impressive than a bludger' Oliver finished

firebird16- Longer? Well this one is but only just, my chapters tend to get longer as the story goes, on, if you don't believe me then just check my other stories

GoldenSilence- Well you can be fairly sure it'll end with them together, although I do get bored sometimes so you never know

Silver Arrow- That's what I thought as well, I personally like the Ginny in my other fic 'It can't be me' better, but I guess she's alright in this one

animagus-steph- I'm taking that as a compliment, don't worry I hate H/G fics so Ginny won't be coming near Harry

Caitiy- the truth is I have no idea where I'm going but it will involve Jared, Ginny Oliver and Quidditch (hmm guess that was kinda obvious)

Rini- I was scared of the drunk Fred and George and I wrote this so that's doubly scary

A/N: I hope that as many people review this as reviewed chapter one, I'm cautiously asking for 25 reviews before I post chapter 3, I don't have much faith in my ability to keep getting reviews so please cheer me up by reviewing. (I'll go for anywhere between 20 and 30 reviews). I just realised I seem to be updating both my Ginny fics on the same days, I should probably spread them out more

In fact I'll make a deal with you all, so long as you review I'll never leave more than a week in between each new chapter, so that won't be too long to wait
