Chapter 3: A girls conversation (Hermione and Ginny)
Deep inside the girls dormitories of the Gryffindor house there was a huge sense of excitement in the air. The news of Katie's unfortunate accident spread everywhere. Plus, since the Gryffindor team was only accepting girls to try out for Katie's position (they didn't want to break up the chemistry of having the female trio) everyone was trying to prove to everyone else why they should take over the new position of chaser. "You know, I once played Quidditch before when I was younger with my Dad." Said Lavender Brown, a Gryffindor fifth year. "My Dad says I have a natural charm for Quidditch. I'll probably be the one to take over the spot." "Oh yea, once when I was younger I scored five straight times when I was playing with my older cousin from Germany." said Parvati Pavil, Lavender's friend and another Gryffindor fifth year. "And he could have played keeper for Germany if he wanted." Then over in a different corner were two Gryffindor seventh year's saying how perfect of an opportunity this is to get into Quidditch during their final year and maybe make a career out of it. But perhaps the most interesting conversation was going on between Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley. The thing that made this most interesting was the fact that both girls saw this as a perfect opportunity to try something no one else thought of. Both of them had a crush on someone on the Gryffindor team, Ginny liked Harry and Hermione liked Ron. Whenever they could they'd tried to get their crush to like them. Whether it was walking with them to class, playing chess with them or just being with them, they tried everything to no avail. Now both of them have one last chance to try to win their lover's heart. Or so they thought. Little did they know that both their crushes liked them as well and as a matter of fact were having a quite similar conversation. But that's later; let's just listen in on Ginny and Hermione now. "You know Hermione, I was thinking. Maybe I should try out for the Gryffindor chaser position. After all, I, um think maybe I could kinda have fun. Yea, the only reason I'm trying out is 'cause I want to have fun." Ginny said nervously, praying for Hemione's approval. "WHAT! YOU CAN'T TRY OUT!" Said Hermione. "And why is that?" said Ginny with a very displeased tone. "Well, um, because... your too young. That's it, your too young too be playing a game as dangerous as Quidditch is. What would your brothers think, and you mother. Even Harry, he's like a brother to you." Hermione said quickly. She did not want to mess with the infamous temper of the Weasley females. "What I would want Harry to think is that I'm attractive." Ginny muttered but instead she said, "ME! You're the one who was barely able to fly in your first broomstick lesson. How do you expect to now be able play a game in the air like Quidditch. You probably can't even fly now!" Shouted Ginny. "That's a lie and you know it." Retorted Hermione. However, both of them knew Ginny was lying. Back in the Burrow this year before school, most of the Weasley's decided to have a Weasley Quidditch cup. For this they made Harry and Hermione honorary Wealeys (their hair was enchanted to look red for their time at the Burrow) and a one game winner take all challenge. Harry and Charlie were the seekers, Fred and George were the Beaters, Ron and Bill played keepers and they convinced Hermione and Ginny to be chasers. The final score was 470-320(Ginny's team won) and the game wouldn't have been nearly that high If Ginny and Hermione weren't such naturals at flying. But then, after about 10 min., Hermione finally thought of something. "Ginny, you're not just trying out for Quidditch because you 'want to have fun.' Right?" "Of course I am, why?" Ginny said accusingly. "Come on Gin, we've been friends for like 4 years now. You can tell me." Hermione said calmly. "Fine, IguessIkindalikeHarry." Ginny said extremely fast. "What, slow down Gin" said Hermione. "I guess I kinda like Harry, there?" Said Ginny. "You do? Well Ok, I guess you can try out. But I wanted the part." Said Hermione. "Why, who do you like, Fred?" Said Ginny "No silly, I guess I kinda like Ron." Hermione said, also quickly "RON? Well, ok I guess we'll both try out." Said Ginny "Let the best girl win" Hermione said. "Yea" Ginny agreed.
