I do not own HP or much else.
I am sorry if this isn't as good as it should be...
Never been top notch at this kind of chapter...that's why I skated past it in the Hogwarts days!
Oh and thank you for all the reviews! Over 200 now WOOO HOOOO you make me so so HAPPY!
And soooo sorry it took a while to post this, we had a leak in our bathroom that apparently led to black mold so I haven't been able to write much with jumping between places to stay until our walls get put back up : (
Chapter 37
Living old Dreams
She awoke with a start that morning. Surprised to feel his lips already pressed against hers.
"Good morning gorgeous." He said softly, his breath tickling her lips.
"Well good morning yourself. Why so sweet this morning?" she answered kissing him back lightly.
"Because today you become a huge Quidditch star and I wanted to remind you that you were already taken." Harry said with a smirk.
"Muuuummmmmyyyyy!" they both heard from down the stairs.
"Well if we had more time I would show you that you have nothing to worry about, but seeing as we have maybe two..." and she was cut off by Teddy bounding through the door.
"Mummmmyyy Mummmmyyy you play today! It's TODAY! We are going to see ur game TODAY!" the over excited 6 year old screamed.
Harry laughed while Ginny ruffled the Neon blue curls.
"Hey teddy bear! A little fired up are you?" she said as she sat up.
He nodded fervently until Harry stood and lifted him into his arms.
"Well I think we should go make mummy and extra special breakfast since she has a big day today! What do you think?"
"PANCAKES!" Teddy yelled from Harry's back as he threw him potato sack style over his shoulder.
"OK, pancakes it is! Mum, we will see you in a few, come down when you are ready." he said as he hefted the giggling child down the stairs.
oOoOoOoOoO
The summer breese was whistling through the stadium as Harry looked around. He couldn't get over how many people were there, and how well the Harpies had managed to keep this secret. Ginny was as yet their "unidentified rookie chaser". And surprisingly no one had questioned why Harry Potter had taken his son to Harpies stadium. Or why they were both wearing the signature Harpie Green. Apparently it was a given that Harry Potter would raise his kids to like any quidditch, no matter who was playing.
Teddy was bouncing around in his seat between Harry and Ron and was chattering about a hundred words a minute. The guys had long since quit responding with real answers and were merely replying with uhhhhummms, and yeah Ted, or the occasional, really?. He was so preoccupied he didn't notice though. When the stadium anouncer began to talk everyone cheered and clapped for the apposing team, but a hush fell over the crowd as they began announcing the home team players.
Of course the cheers for Gwenog Jones were insane and for their star seeker as well, they then announce the two beaters, both of whom had played on the national team last year. Since Ginny was the only player in the league who had not been introduced at the conferences weeks before everyone was anticipating what was going to happen. The two returning chasers had been announced when the crowd got deadly silent all craning their necks to see. And Teddy, who was bouncing with joy screamed out in six year old anticipation, and lack of patience,
"GO MUMMY! I LOVE YOU MUMMMY!"
everyone within hearing range turned to see whose child had yelled and stared open mouthed as Harry grabbed him and gripped him to his chest, trying to cover his mouth, at the exact same moment,
"And Finally last but not least the Holyhead Harpies are proud to present for the very first time anywhere, playiing chaser, Ginny Potter!" the half of the stadium that wasn't snapping pics of Harry and Teddy were screaming at the field. Teddy's eyes were huge with excitement and he was easily screaming through Harry's hand.
He finally let him go but kept him firm on his lap since people were steadily standing to see them and take pictures.
OoOoOoO
On the field Ginny took off like a rocket to center pitch to meet her team mates. Once the quaffle was in the air the six chasers entered into a quidditch battle like Ginny had never seen. Hogwarts games were not on the same level as this, twice a bludger escaped her beaters' notice and she had to dodge it. Once it actually hit her ankle and she clenched her knees together tightly to stay on the broom. She wobbled slightly but held on. Knowing Teddy was in the crowd and would panic if he saw her get hurt.
The game was brutal, both sides fighting for their first win of the season. Ginny had just scored her second goal of the game, when something gold shot past the side of her face. Forgetting for a moment that she was a chaser, in this game, she threw her hand out and caught it stealthily. Neither of the seekers had been anywhere near close to her but when the snitch was caught the entire game stopped mid air. Everyone stared at her and it took a minute for her to remember that she wasn't seeking, she wasn't supposed to catch the snitch.
She hung in mid air staring at her hand. After all she had been a seeker for most of her fourth year and part of her fifth. And when she and Harry played together they always played seeker vs. seeker. She blushed deeply as she saw the officials call a time out and group together discussing what to do.
She flew over to her teammates who were all staring at her in shock.
"I am sorry, I saw it and I forgot I wasn't supposed to get it. It just came naturally, I don't ever let the snitch just shoot by me. I am so sorry." she mumbled, embarrassed.
The other team members just looked a little dazed as they watched the officiators.
They weren't sure what to do. At one point a junior ref called for the snitch and Gwenog flew it over to them. After a few more minutes the head referee magically enhanced his voice.
"In light of this unprecidented capture we are unable to continue this game. Because of snitch enchantments, this Snitch will not fly again in a game, and do to league rules, we are unable to introduce a new snitch into the match. We have decided however that since a chaser made the catch, that it will only be given 10 points but will signal the end of the game. As the score stands with this capture the Harpies lead 70 to 30 and therefore by points and capture of the snitch, they win the game."
The entire stadium erupted into cheers.
