Chapter 7-Quidditch, Arguing and Mixed Feelings

I was walking to my first Quidditch practice of the year when Dean came up to me.

"Hey Gin, how are you?"

"I'm good and you?"

"Great, guess what?" A massive smile appeared on his face.

"What?"

"I'm taking Katie's place on the team!"

"Oh Dean, that's great" I said hugging him. I don't know why but I wasn't happy with that decision. Get a grip he's your boyfriend! I walked with him and he told me about his day. He annoyed me a bit with how close he was standing to me but I didn't say anything. We arrived in the changing rooms so I put on my gear, grabbed my broom and took off. Soon everyone was in the air. Everything was going fine until Ron started getting frustrated after he couldn't save practically any of our goals. He was starting to piss me off, but he really set me off when he punched Demelza in the face.

"It was an accident, I'm sorry, Demelza, really sorry, I just-"

"Panicked" I finished for him landing next to Demelza. I examined her lip, which was bleeding badly. I was really angry now. "You prat, Ron, look at the state of her!"

"I can fix that" Said Harry landing next to us and fixing her lip with 'episkey'. "And Ginny, don't call Ron a prat, you're not the captain of this team-"

"Well you seemed too busy to call him a prat and I thought someone should" I replied earning Harry having to force himself not to laugh.

"In the air, everyone, let's go..." We continued what had to be the worst practice of all time until Harry blew the whistle for the end. I was a bit glad it was over, seeing as I was still mad at Ron.

"Good work, everyone, I think we'll flatten Slytherin" Harry said obviously trying to be positive about the fiasco that had just happened. I had to admit though, I felt a bit better and I'm sure the others did too, seeing as they looked happy. I decided to walk back with Dean.

"I know a shortcut if you wanna use that way" I said hopefully. I wanted to get to bed as soon as possible.

"Um, ok sure" We talked about how bad Quidditch was when we arrived at a Tapestry.

"Um, I think through here" I said walking under. Dean followed me and when I turned around our faces were only inches apart. He leaned forward and our lips met. I wanted this to be a good first kiss, so I wrapped my arms around him and deepened the kiss. I had forgotten about Quidditch and where we were until I heard:

"Oi!"

We broke apart and I looked around to find Ron looking angry and Harry with an odd expression on his face, behind us.

"What?" I said, I'm going to kill him.

"I don't want to find my own sister snogging people in public!" Ron replied angrily.

"This was a deserted corridor till you came butting in!"

"Er... c'mon Ginny, let's go back to the common room..." Dean said uncomfortably.

"You go! I want to have a word with my dear brother!" I said. I waited until Dean was gone.

"Right" I began tossing me hair out of my face and glaring at Ron. "Let's get this straight once and for all. It is none of your business who I go out with or what I do with them, Ron-"

"Yeah, it is! D'you think I want people saying my sister's a-"

"A what? I shouted pulling out my wand, ready to let all hell break loose. "A what exactly?"

"He doesn't mean anything, Ginny-" Harry said sounding funny.

"Oh yes he does!" How dare he side with Ron! "Just because he's never snogged anyone in his life, just because the best kiss he's ever had is from our Auntie Muriel-"

"Shut your mouth!" Ron said, his face turning maroon.

"No I will not! I've seen you with Phlegm, hoping she'll kiss you on the cheek every time you see her, its pathetic! If you went out and got a bit of snogging done yourself you wouldn't mind so much that everyone else does it!" Ron pulled out his wand, so Harry stepped between us.

"You don't know what you're talking about!" Ron roared trying to get a clear shot of me past Harry's outstretched arms. "Just because I don't do it in public!-" I screamed with a kind of derisive laughter and tried to push Harry out of the way. Damnit he's strong!

"Been kissing Pigwidgeon, have you? Or have you got a picture of Auntie Muriel stashed under your pillow?" I yelled.

"You-" A streak of orange went under Harry's left arm and missed me by inches. Harry pushed Ron up against the wall and said:

"Don't be stupid-" I cut him off.

"Harry's snogged Cho Chang! And Hermione snogged Viktor Krum, it's only you who acts like it's something disgusting, Ron, and that's because you've got about as much experience as a twelve-year-old!" I stormed off towards the common room. Stupid git! How dare he say those things! And how dare Harry side with him! I remembered Harry's face. I had never seen that expression before, it looked like, but it couldn't be, jealousy, could it? And Hermione, oh no she's going to kill me. Hermione had told me that Viktor had kissed her once, but it hadn't meant anything because she had feelings for Ron. And Ron has feelings for her. I probably just stuffed up their chance of getting together this year, great. I went to my dormitory and found Hermione sitting on her bed, studying.

"Hey how was practice?" She asked me looking up. When she saw my expression, she looked concerned.

"What happened?" She said sitting next to me on my bed. I told her first about practice, then about my fight with Ron. When I had finished, she looked like she was going to cry.

"Hermione, I'm so sorry!"

"How could you! You promised not to tell anyone!"

"I know, I know, I'm so sorry, I lost my temper and I said whatever came to my mind, I'm so so so sorry!" She sighed.

"It's alright, we'll see how things are in the morning, let's forget about it for now" She said getting up and going to bed. As I changed into my pyjamas and brushed my teeth there was only one thing on my mind, Harry's expression. I just couldn't work out what it meant. Get over it, it was probably just an overprotective brother look, seeing as that's what we are, right? I got into bed and as I fell asleep, I tried not to think of Harry or anything that had happened tonight.

Don't forget to review please!
