Hey everyone! I'm so sorry about the delay! I went camping and I've been studying and I just lost track of time! Anyways, finally, the chapter you've been waiting for! I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 14-The Kiss

I paced the changing rooms as I waited for the team to arrive. Today was the Quidditch Grand Final against Ravenclaw and I was playing Seeker and filling in as captain for Harry. Harry wasn't allowed to play because he hexed Malfoy, and even though he said he was ok with it, I could tell as he hugged me good luck, he'd give anything to be in my place. I feel so nervous, I don't want to stuff up and make myself and Harry look bad. Ron and Hermione kept telling me that I was going to be fine and part of me knew that, but I still couldn't help be nervous. The team started to arrive and when everyone was dressed and geared up, they stood waiting for me to say something. Come on! Speak! Encourage them like Harry does!

"Hey guys! We made it! Now, I know we're all nervous but we've practised and practised and we are ready for this. We can win this! Just do your best and even if we do lose, me and Harry, will still be proud of you all," After I said that my confidence started to come back. "Let's win this cup for Harry and Gryffindor!"

"FOR HARRY AND GRYFFINDOR!" The team yelled back at me and we marched onto the pitch, ready to win. I approached Madam Hooch and Cho.

"Captains shake hands" We shook hands awkwardly "Mount your brooms" I quickly mounted mine, my heart was racing "On my whistle now, Three...Two...ONE!" I shot off into the air and began looking for the snitch. I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins as I scanned the field. This must be how Harry feels all the time. I heard cheering and looked to see that we had scored. I was so happy. My heart filled with pride as I watched the team fly so in synch. They were passing and defending perfectly. I went back to searching for the Snitch and before I knew it we were winning by 140 points. I couldn't believe it. The match continued on like that, us winning by hundreds against Ravenclaw. I looked at Cho, and she looked pretty pissed off. She kept yelling at her team to play properly and score. She saw me looking and glared at me. I smiled mockingly back and she huffed and flew off. We were winning 250 to 0 when they scored their first goal. After that, they were on a role. They were on 140 when I flew to Ron.

"COME ON RON! YOU CAN DO IT! WE CAN STILL WIN BY A MILESTONE! COME ON RON, FOR HARRY AND THE REST OF OUR TEAM! PLUS HERMIONE WOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOU!" He glared at me and a determined look crossed over his face. He nodded and went back to watching the Quaffle. Ravenclaw's next goal didn't get in, and the next one, and the next one and you get it. We were winning 310 to 140 when I finally saw the Snitch. My only problem, Cho saw it as well. I raced towards the Snitch, and so did she.

"And both the captains have seen the Snitch! It's now a race for the win!" I heard Luna's voice ring out over the pitch. I hadn't paid much attention to the commentary this match due to focusing on the Snitch. We were neck-to-neck behind the Snitch. She pushed me. I don't think so! I pushed her back and our shoving match began until the Snitch swerved and we lost sight of it. She went off in the other direction and I saw it. I had a brilliant idea. I headed towards the Snitch and she saw and followed. We were neck-to-neck again and I went in for the win. We were heading straight towards the stands when the Snitch started changing direction. As soon as it turned around, I pushed Cho and she went in the other direction as I followed the Snitch. She was right behind me as I stretched out my hand. Come on! Come on! Almost there! I stretched my arm further, closed my hand and shut my eyes.

"GINNY WEASLEY'S CAUGHT THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS THE QUIDDITCH CUP!" I opened my eyes and unclenched my hand. There it was, the Golden Snitch in my palm. I held it up and started cheering. I spun around to look at Cho, she was glaring at me. I poked out my tongue and waved the Snitch in her face. I heard the crowd laughing and she huffed and sped off, probably to yell at her team. I was swarmed by the team and we had a massive group hug. We cheered the whole way down, to the changing rooms and up to Gryffindor tower. The portraits and the Fat Lady clapped as we approached and she let us in. Everyone was congratulating me as I searched for Hermione. When I finally found her she hugged me.

"Congratulations! You did great! Especially when you pushed her and sped off!" She said beaming at me.

"Thanks! Is Harry here?" I hoped he was.

"No, he hasn't come back yet" She replied.

"Oh, ok" I was disappointed.

"I'm going to go find Ron"

"Ok" And she went looking for Ron who was brandishing the cup to everyone. I smiled at how happy everyone was, but I didn't feel happy and I knew it had something to do with a green-eyed, raven-haired boy. Come on Harry, where are you? I was looking at the portrait hole when arms wrapped around me. I freaked out and turned to see Dean grinning at me.

"Nice work, Ginny"

"Thanks, you too" He looked unsure about something.

"Ginny, about our relationship-"

"Listen, Dean, me and you aren't meant for each other. Us getting back together will do nothing for me and you, ok"

"Ok" He looked disappointed. I saw Parvati watching us from the corner of my eye. I smiled at her and turned to Dean.

"I'm not meant for you, but I know someone who might be" He looked confused and I nodded towards Parvati. He looked and she smiled at us. He turned back to me still looking confused.

"You know, I think I'll go talk to her, cya Ginny"

"Bye" He hugged me and walked towards Parvati. I gave her a thumbs up and she mouthed 'thank you' back at me. I smiled and turned to see Ron and Hermione laughing at each other. Hmmm, I got Dean to talk to Parvati, maybe I can get them together. I was making my way over there when Ron rushed off and everyone started cheering. I turned and saw Harry being pulled into the room. Before I knew it, I was running towards him. I don't know why, but it was like I was being pulled to him. His face lit up when he saw me coming and I rushed into his arms. I pulled back to tell him we won and his lips were on mine. I froze. Harry Potter is kissing me. HARRY FREAKING POTTER IS KISSING ME! I closed my eyes and melted into the kiss. It was amazing. He didn't have much experience, but he was good. It was like time went on forever. I could do this forever. I was running out of oxygen and so was he, so we broke apart. The room had gone quiet apart from the wolf-whistling and giggling. Harry was looking around the room and I knew he was searching for Ron. I looked and saw Romilda glaring at me and looking like she was going to throw the pieces of shattered glass in Dean's hand at me, so I looked at Hermione who was beaming. I turned back to Harry and he looked at me and grinned. He gestured towards the portrait hole so I walked out of it, him following me.

I hope you liked it! The next chapter will be out soon & don't forget to review!
