Thank you for the feedback and the fact more and more of you want to be alerted each time I post. Ginny is slowly admitting things to herself. But she has a long way to go.

I don't own any of the characters.

Harry

I hadn't slept well on Sunday night. I had felt bad about buying the toy broom for Olivia. I had just wanted to do something for the little girl, and Teddy, well he really had thought it was all his idea and had no idea it was an expensive inappropriate gift.

It really didn't help when I got home to read the file that had been owled to me that morning. I really had to say even if it looked like it would keep me home for the next six months it was probably the last job I needed. Hermione and Ron had pretty much begged me to take something close, so that I could be around for the lead up to their wedding but this was a little too close….

I had shaved the next morning and gotten ready for work, slipping into my Auror Robes. If felt good to have them on again. I so rarely got to wear them when I was undercover. Well I suppose you couldn't call it under cover. More just a really good high profile act and so far we had been lucky. None of the women involved had exposed me. One had threatened to a year ago until Kingsley had pointed out it might lessen her profile with men if it was found out I had never actually dated her.

Heading down stairs I found Ron looking at the folder I had been sent. Clearing my throat I asked. "I'm pretty sure that read private on the outside?"

Ron finished his mouthful before looking up. "It did, but I got an owl this morning." He threw me a piece of parchment. Sure it enough it said, 'Catch yourself up on what I send Harry. Kingsley.'

I nodded and sat down. "I think I shouldn't take it." I said then nodded at Hermione who placed a coffee in front of me.

"Why." She asked. I could tell from the question that Ron hadn't filled her in.

Ron glanced at me. "It's tricky, but, well…." He looked back down. "I would feel better if you were on the case rather than not."

I nodded. The thought had entered my head that if I didn't take it we might not know what was going on, and that would probably drive me just as crazy as taking it. "The threats are against the whole team. I probably don't have to pretend to date one of them." I thought out loud.

Ron shook his head. "I don't know. I doubt they want it public. They seem to be heading for the playoffs."

Hermione turned from where she was looking in the fridge. "Wait, am I hearing that someone is threatening the Harpies?" She asked.

Trust Hermione to figure it out that fast.

Ron nodded. "Gwenog's been getting letters for years, but they've just turned a little more sick, and explicit on how they want to do away with each member of the team." Ron turned a little green as he glanced over the copy of the letter he was holding.

I imagined I had turned the same colour when I read it last night. He placed it down and looked at me. "They're threatening Gin." He mumbled.

Hermione walked over and grabbed the piece of parchment glancing over it before sitting down herself and turning pale. "That's….well…" She started then stopped. "Sick." She finally finished. There wasn't much more to say.

Just remembering what they wanted to do to Ginny made me feel ill.

Ron huffed. "Well, there's nothing to it then. We're just going to have to find the scumbag who is sending these letters and poisoned one of the players after the game on Saturday."

Hermione's eyes went wider. "They actually managed to do something?" She asked. "Why haven't the team been warned earlier?"

"They had all stayed at the stadium for a few drinks after the game on Saturday. One got hungry and Gwenog told her to have the filled roll she had left in the fridge. The player got home alright, but then her Husband had to floo her to St Mungo's an hour later." I explained running my hand through my hair probably messing it up even more, this was normally the kind of mystery I jumped at. But seeing Ginny everyday wasn't about to help me. "The healers picked it up straight away, and reported it to our department. We've been keeping an eye on the threats but until now they haven't ever come to anything."

Hermione nodded thinking about it all. "Are you sure this is a good job for you though? They aren't going to make you date one of the girls around Ginny are they?"

I sighed. That was one thing I had been worried about and wouldn't find out until we meet with Robards to be briefed this morning. "I don't know. It doesn't matter really I'm in the bad books with her again. Apparently she wanted to buy Olivia a toy broom for Christmas."

Ron eyes went wide. "She didn't have a go at you did she? I mean your family that what Uncles do buy gifts."

I shook my head. "No, just a well placed comment."

Hermione sighed. "Well I still think it was very sweet. Olivia loved it."

I glanced at my watch. "Crap, I better eat some toast and get going. You ready Ron?" Jumping up to quickly make some toast with my wand. It was always faster and still amazed me after years that I didn't need a toaster if I had my wand.

Ron nodded his head at me. "Yeah, I read the brief and I think I've read as much as I can take of the sick letters before I lose my breakfast." Ron leaned down and kissed Hermione adding. "You have a good day love. I'll let you know if we are going to be late."

Hermione just smiled at him. They really were a little sickly when they weren't fighting. "That's fine I have enough to do at work." She then lowered her voice and I heard her say to Ron. "Watch Harry on this one won't you?" I wanted to roll my eyes. But Hermione had said on Saturday I had that look in my eye again, so I suppose they were going to watch me and I just had to get used to it.

It had been a busy start to the morning but we had managed to work out that with the whole team being threatened that going under cover wasn't going to work. Something I was most pleased with. It would seem very odd if I was undercover but trying to protect the whole team.

Plans were made to brief Gwenog and the team, then secure the girls homes with protection wards, monitor the Floo Network and place anti-apparition wards over the whole Stadium.

I had to admit the one thing I did like about the plan was that I got to be in the air while they were practicing. I hadn't flown at all while in the US and it had been far too long. The idea of flying around the Harpies and watching them practice seemed pretty great to me. That was if I could keep my eyes away from Ginny I had always loved watching her on the broom.

Ron was thrilled to be assigned to the case with me. Even though we were only really being given the duty of protection during training and games detail while another team were going to be doing the research and detective work. It was called light duties after my last assignment and I wasn't about to complain. I could see Ron wasn't about to either. He may not have spent too much time with his sister over the last few years but that protective streak was still there so appreciated the chance to be on the ground during the case.

Meeting Ginny's captain had been entertaining. She was a tough take no crap sort of woman whose love of Quidditch and her team reminded me a bit of Oliver Wood or Angelina when they were my captains at Hogwats. Heck Angelina still tried to look after me now much to George's amusement.

Gwenog and Kingsley seemed to know each other better than I expected. Which explained why he joined us to brief her, I didn't normally have much to do with him now days other than to keep him informed when I was on an international protection detail due to international magical relations. Gwenog had even grumped at Ron and I saying she would prefer female Aurors. Kingsley just laughed and said if her girls couldn't stay focused while there were males around that was her problem, and how did she handle them when they were actually playing if they were that easily distracted.

We were shown into the conference room to be greeted by the whole team and reserves looking at us. I had to admit I still hadn't gotten used to people looking me up and down trying to access weather what they had read about me was true or not. You would think it wouldn't bother me anymore with how many high profile cases I had done over the last couple of years. But no, I still didn't really enjoy the spot light. Glancing around I found Ginny looking at me with one eyebrow raised in a question. She didn't look too pleased with me, but it was a look I had gotten used to from her over the last few years. What I would give to see her carefree, feisty personality again.

"Girls, we have some visitors. I'm sure you recognize our Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt and Aurors Weasley and Potter." Gwenog started. "As you know some of our fan mail isn't from fan's, and can be a little threatening, which is why it's all checked before being handed on. Over the last few months we have had some increasingly disturbing letters." She explained. Then sighed, placing her hands on the table in front of her. "Casey isn't at practice today due to the fact she was poisoned by eating one of my left over rolls from the fridge on Saturday after the game. She's currently recovering in St Mungo's."

The gasps around the room were audible and clear.

"You mean they broke in here? Or what?" A tall woman next to Ginny asked.

"That we don't know just yet." Gwenog answered. "We have the full support of the Auror's behind us. They were already monitoring the letters." She looked at her team moving her eyes over all of them. "We will get through this. We are just going to have to change the way we do a few things. I need you all at the top of your game so you are going to listen to the advice we are given and be sensible. Do you understand me?" She cautioned the team.

"So do we all get our own personal Auror? Can I have Potter." One of the clearly younger team members asked causing quite a few giggles and a few groans along with a couple of. "Hey, no fares." Making me turn beetroot in color I was sure.

Ron just laughed out loud, nudging me with a silly grin on his face. Kingsley even cracked a smile, but he then took over from there. "No. Sorry about that. We don't quite have the man power for that, as much as I'm sure Mr. Potter would love to escort you everywhere." He nodded at the younger team member who had requested me. "We are at present looking into the situation. Mr. Weasley will set new wards and protection around the Stadium today while you train. The Guards you have on staff now will be briefed by him and Mr. Potter will be in the air with you making sure the perimeter is safe. There will be a larger team here this afternoon after Practice. You will have a personal Auror take you home and check the wards around your homes and brief you on safety practices for youselves and the others who live with you." Kingsley paused and glanced at me before looking back at a few faces who had looked at me keenly interested. "Sorry ladies. Mr. Potter will not be a part of that detail. Miss. Weasley your brother informs me that the wards at the burrow are have been kept high since the war, so you will not have an escort home this afternoon. I'm sure you know how to watch yourself as well." He paused for a moment before adding. "Aurors Weasley and Potter will be here each day while you train and at your games. We have another team at work tracing the letters and the poison. If there are any questions Potter and Weasley will be able to answer them I am needed back at the ministry." He finished with a nod of his head adding. "Remember to be safe ladies." Before he nodded his head and Gwenog and placed a reassuring hand on Gwenog's shoulder before leaving the room.

The truth of the situation seemed to have sunk in for some of the members who were looking rather shell shocked. But others seemed to still think it was an adventure.

"Is Casey going to be alright?" One asked.

Gwenog nodded her head. "Yes, her Husband caught it on time and got her to St. Mungo's. But it could have been a lot worse she won't be back for a few weeks. We have emptied the Kitchen of food. New supplies are being stoked now."

Ginny was extremely quiet. While Ron and I dealt with the questions, and comments that were thrown around. I would have imagined her to burst out with comments like how they could all look after themselves. But she just seemed to stare at the table till she looked up, and glanced at me before looking at Ron. How sad is it that I kept watching her in a crowded room of woman to even notice her glance before she turned her eyes on Ron. "What about our families?" She asked. "I have Liv." Her eyes quickly flitting to me and back to Ron again her almost quiet question stopped the conversation.

The tall witch next to her placed a hand on her arm in comfort. "I doubt they will touch a kid." She told her.

Ron leaned on the table and caught his sister eye nodding at her before saying what I had wanted to scream out. "Harry and I won't let anything happen to Olivia, Ginny." What was it about that little girl that had clutched at my heart?

Please R & R. It's so nice to hear from people about what they think etc.

Hopefulled
