Hestia felt the late October wind as she walked briskly to the quidditch pitch. She heard two pairs of footsteps behind her. "Hestia, cousin how are you?" George walked beside her on the right.

"Want a pastille?" Fred asked on her left, holding a small candy for her too see.

"Um… no thanks Fred. Ginny's told me what you guys have been doing in your room." Hestia replied politely "I'm well thank you George."

"Wait how does Ginny know what we do in our room?" Fred asked stopping for a second.

"She was at home all by herself for a year with no older brothers around. What do you think she was doing? Sitting around knitting?" Hestia replied picking up her pace.

George begins walking backward. "So Hestia, I noticed you have a eagle-"

".Gwaihir. His name is Gwaihir" Hestia interrupts

"- right. Anyway Fred and I were wondering is that even allowed?" George continued.

"Yes it is allowed. I have permission from Dumbledore," Hestia snapped, "besides Ron has a rat if I recall correctly. I don't recall reading that in my acceptance letter."

"Um… yeah mum doesn't really read the pets list anymore." Fred replied sheepishly.

Hestia spotted the rest of the team huddled on the side of the pitch brooms by their side. Wood looked up at her and the twins.

"Weasleys. Hurry up." Wood barked. Hestia ran over to him.

"Wood has nice eyes" Hestia thought to herself "And he's an excellent flyer, a really great captain."

"Everyone I'd like you to meet Hestia. Hestia is a first year. Our new first year seeker."

"SEEKER?" A boy with black hair and glasses explodes "Aren't I our seeker. This… this this girl our seeker?" his voice goes quiet "you're not replacing me are you?"

"Calm down Harry. Hestia is our first year seeker for the new first year team. McGonagall says she's the best flyer she's seen in years and she's got great eyesight. She's not replacing you."

"Wait your Harry. Harry Potter, the boy Ginny's got a huge…." Hestia noticed the look on Fred's face " Uh… um Never mind." Hestia stammered.

"Alright all of you let's get started. " Wood interrupted. "Everyone onto the pitch."

LINEBREAK

Hestia was excelling in Herbology. She was receiving praise from Professor Sprout on her Puffapod was the biggest in her class.

"What did you think of harry?" Ginny asked her during the Herbology lesson the day after quidditch practice.

"He's nice. He totally panicked when he found out I was a seeker. Thought I was replacing him. He looked a bit embarrassed when I beat him at a quick seeker round though." Hestia replied while moving her Puffapod into a bigger pot. "I can see why he and Ron are friends though."

"Miss Weasley. Your puffapod is looking spectacular." Professor Sprout said as she moved towards the front of the class. "Alright everyone listen up. You will all be given some homework. Write a fact file on a specific plant. It can be anything but I want details. 2 pages. This will go toward to final mark. Hestia Weasley I expect great things from you."

With that the class was finished. "Hey Ginny. You can borrow my book on middle Earth plants. For this fact file, it has some interesting plants that Sprout will give you great marks. " Hestia asked Ginny on their way out.

"Um sure. I have some things to do so I'll catch up with you later." Ginny asked walking towards the courtyard.

"Are you alright Ginny? You look kind of worried." Hestia asked noticing her cousins pale skin. Ginny fumbled with her books. One of them fell on the ground. It opened and Hestia saw that it was blank.

Ginny anxiously bent down and picked it up before racing off towards the bathroom. Tears running down her face. Hestia ran after her. She followed her down the corridor of the bathroom but couldn't find her. Elanor came racing out of the bathroom.

"Oh Hestia hi. Where are you going? Potions is that way." Elanor pointed towards the other end of the corridor.

"Um hi Elanor. You haven't seen Ginny have you? She just took off."

"I'm sure she's already in potions." Elanor said leading Hestia towards the dungeons.
