Quidditch!

Harry was perched above the Quidditch pitch watching the match unfold. He was doing his usual method of soaring above the pitch and rather annoyingly the Hufflepuff seeker was tailing him. After multiple wronski faints the Hufflepuff seeker was still stalking his every move but Harry had stopped trying to throw him off and instead stayed moderately steady and admired the force which was his girlfriend.

One minute before the match they had noticed Gwenog in the stands and after a good luck kiss Ginny's face had hardened into her usual force to be reckoned with facial expression. Because of mostly Ginny they were currently beating Hufflepuff 160 to 70 and one of Ginny's shots had hit the keeper so hard he had fallen through the goal with the quaffle. After watching her score yet another spectacular fake out goal Harry spotted a glimmer of gold close by Gin and another Gryffindor Chaser who was floating expectantly waiting for the Quaffle. Harry floated casually over to above where they were floating then he tightly gripped his broom and dove.

He span in between the two chasers and pulled back up holding the twitching snitch. He heard Dennis Creevey bellow

"And Potter has caught the Snitch GRYFFINDOR WINS!!" The stands were going crazy and when Harry pulled to a stop on the ground he practically leapt off and waited for the rest of the team to join them. Ginny was next down and after some celebratory jumps, she ran into Harry's arms and began kissing him.Fiercely.In front of the entire school. Harry was beyond caring and responded with equal fervour. Eventually, they separated and joined the group celebration that everyone else was partaking in after several wolf whistles caused Harry to practically glow bright red.

They walked hand in hand to the changing rooms and while Harry was waiting for Ginny to emerge from the changing rooms after he had showered and changed Gwenog Jones walked up to him.

"That was some good flying Potter" Taken slightly off guard by the compliment Harry stammered

"Uh well uh Thank You"

"You also appear to be a man of your word" Harry nodded in response more than slightly intimidated than the formidable woman's compliments

"Weasleys one hell of a shot and she seems to have the character we like as well" Harry chuckled at that

"She's fantastic. Feisty and does not take things lying down"

"Big family?" Gwenog asked curiously

"Yeah. How did you guess?"

"Been there myself"

There were a few minutes of silence until Ginny emerged with her hair still damp from the shower she was clearly about to pounce on him when she froze at the sight of Gwenog

"Afternoon Weasley. I thought I'd best hand-deliver this. Tryouts are on June 26th as we've got a chaser retiring so we're looking for a main player and a stand-in. If you play like that on the day I can see you on the squad. I'd keep Potter on a lead though, Candice, our keeper, likes the look of him. See you then Weasley" Gwenog then strode off to talk to Slughorn leaving a stunned Ginny still holding the hefty envelope tightly and Harry beaming at her excitedly

"Harry, did I just get the opportunity to try out for a national team?" Harry turned to look at her and pulled her hands so she was facing him.

"I'm so proud of you Gin" and Ginny leapt on him like she had intended to do initially.

After a while and Harry and Ginny had rearranged themselves to make it not seem like they'd been snogging they walked hand in hand back to the Common Room. After giving a drunk Fat Lady the password they walked into an explosion of noise. They were most surprised to see multiple Ravenclaws and even a few Slytherins sat enjoying the music and food as they chatted with the other houses. From the looks of it, the past year had made everyone incredibly successful at sneaking about and the tables were even more full than when Fred and George used to sneak about. Harry left Ginny with some of her seventh-year friends she used to room with and he found Ron and Hermione sat in a quiet corner chatting and laughing.

"Hey, guys, whatcha talking about?"

"That Rons not a rubbish seeker"

"Honestly mate, you're still worried about that?" Seeing Ron bashfully nod he handed him the stronger butterbeer and patted his back

"You stopped tons of quaffles, today mate. Hufflepuff would have left us in the dust if it weren't for you"

"I s'pose not" Ron responded then realised something as the beer entered his system "I don't think we've beaten anyone with that big of a margin for ages!"

"No, you haven't. The last time was the fifth year when Slytherin lost humongously." Hermione supplied she took another sip of her drink "The sixth year match when Ron spent the entire party glued to Lavenders face was close but not quite" Ron blushed and Harry continued

"I bet whoever's head of Gryffindors gonna have a right task at getting the quidditch team filled next year" Hermione and Ron burst out laughing at this

"What?" Once Hermione got her giggles under control she explained

"Harry, don't you get it? It's going to be you!"

"Yeah mate you're going to be head of Gryffindor!"

Ron added through his guffaws which only increased when Harry's eyes widened comically

"M-Me"

"Honestly Harry, Who else do you think she'd make Head? She's always had a soft spot for you anyway but have you forgotten you've saved the wizarding world multiple times? She wasn't going to make Filch Head, was she?"

"Wow.Although I feel Mrs Norris would make a great teacher's assistant "

"Bloody Hell she'd be good target practice though" Harry and Ron dissolved into laughter and Hermione rolled her eyes but giggled nonetheless

Once Harry and Ron had once again stopped laughing and had stocked up their plates with the frankly vast amount of food they returned to see Hermione squeaking in excitement

"What's going on?" Ron asked thickly with a mouthful of sausage roll

"Well dear brother I have tryouts for the Holyhead Harpies this summer" Ron swallowed audibly and then stammered out

"Wow-Merlin that's-that's-ace"

Ginny stood up from Harry's chair and waited for Harry to sit down before perching herself on his lap and stealing some crisps and half a ham sandwich off his plate.

"Hey!"

"Oh shush chosen one" Ginny responded before taking a bite out of his sandwich.

"Harry, have you thought about how you're going to teach," Hermione asked as she propped her feet on Ron's lap.

"Not really but Mcgonagall gave me Remus' teaching guides and I've got a curriculum to follow as well as a massive book on rules I'm reading through so I'm kind of getting there"

"There's a massive book of rules?" Ron and Hermione asked incredulously

"Yep he's got a read it all and I think you guys only broke three-quarters of them" Ginny exclaimed reaching for one of Harry's sausage rolls.

"And yes Hermione you can have a read through it once I'm done" Harry stated exasperatedly as he watched his dinner be picked apart by Ginny. Hermione did a little squeak and began to talk about how long teaching laws had been in place and that they came in place after a teacher in the late 1800's hung children by their ankles and one child almost died. However, before she could begin on the topic of how Hogwarts Teaching Laws were enforced a fourth-year came in with a muggle record player and two shrunk boxes of records. Everyone pushed the chairs and sofas to the side of the rooms and all of a sudden everyone was pairing up and dancing to muggle tunes whilst the fourth year and his friends changed them intermittently. Hermione and Ginny leapt up and pulled Ron and Harry up with them. Harry and Ron's feeble protests rang on deaf ears (but in reality they quite enjoyed dancing with their girlfriends) and they allowed themselves to be pulled onto the dance floor.

They danced way into the night until Flitwick, Bill, Slughorn and Mcgonagall came through the portrait after reporting several students missing from their common rooms and the sounds of poorly sung Karaoke were keeping the castle up. So when they all finally stumbled into bed (After a bit of trouble with the upper years' common room portrait ) Harry snuggled into Ginny's side and whispered to her for the thousandth time that day

"I'm so proud of you"
