Chapter 4- Quidditch Games and Creaking Doors
I woke up a little later than my friends did. I was very happy, and every one noticed that. Mum told every one that it was just my becoming 16 that made me so excited. So they believed it.
But only two people in the house really knew why I was so ecstatic. Harry and I.
The next two weeks were uneventful. I think that the only thing that was even the littlest bit exciting was the time Harry and I spent together during the nighttime. Lizzy, Miranda, Tamara, and Diane had all left two days after my birthday.

Today was the day before we left for Hogwarts. I would be going into my 6th year. Harry, Ron, and Hermione would be in their 7th year. It would be the last year they went to Hogwarts.
"Hey Hermione," Harry said. "Are you going to play Quidditch with us?" Hermione looked up from her summer Arithmancy homework. She smiled and agreed.
"But I'm not going to be Keeper again. Last time we lost the game because of me."
"Oh, Herm, we didn't lose because of you! We lost because of Ron!" cried Harry. Ron sacked him in the arm and kicked his shin.
"So who's in?" He asked.
"I am!" Hermione and I cried at the same time. "I'm on Harry's team!" I said.
"Ooh, Ginny's got a crush on Harry!" Ron said teasing.
"No, I just want to be on a team that doesn't lose every game!"
"Like that's ever gonna happen." Mumbled Fred, who had just walked in the back door.
"What bug crawled up your butt." I said annoyed. He just grumbled about something or other and went up to his room.
So, on that happy note, we headed outside to play Quidditch. I ended up being Chaser with Bill (who had come home with Charlie for a few weeks, although we would only see them for one week), Fred was Beater, and Harry was, of course, Seeker.
Ron's team had Ron and Hermione for Chasers, Charlie for Seeker, Percy for Keeper, and George for Beater.
Now, you might be wondering, how did Fred come back into the picture? Well, George talked him into coming out and playing, saying something that made Fred grumble more, but hey, it got him outside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hermione! Come on! Get the damn quaffle!" Ron was yelling. I had the quaffle, passed it to Bill, who flew around and got a goal. He passed it back to me, I took the goal with a loop and a twist past Hermione. As I was taking a lap of victory, I saw the Snitch. I couldn't get it, however, or we'd lose the game. I tried to signal to Harry, but he was playing around with George and Fred. I laughed, and he heard. He looked and saw the snitch. I knew what he was going to do and stayed where I was. In about ten seconds, he had flown down past my broom, looped (like I had) around Ron, zigzagged past Charlie, and grabbed the snitch.

*It was much more eventful than I described…I am watching Cast Away…it's just so beautiful! Lol*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You all must be very hungry after that game!" Mum said. We had won 180 to 40. With out the snitch though, we would have lost 40 to 30. I wonder why I'm saying that…there's really no point.
"I'm gonna go upstairs to pack mum," I told her.
"Alright dear. Will you bring these up to Harry for me? And don't forget to come down for lunch." She handed me some folded robes and some socks. Poor, dear old mum, always doing socks.
"Okay mum, and I'll come down when I'm done packing," so with that, I took the robes and ran up to Ron's room.
I knocked on the door and heard Harry's voice call, "Come in."
"Hey Harry, mum wanted me to bring these up to you." I walked over to him and threw the robes in his lap. He grabbed my waist and sat me on top of the robes.
"Harry!" I cried. "What if Ron or the twins come in? They'd kill you!"
"Oho, so now you don't like me anymore!" He exclaimed, falling back on the bed. This wasn't a very smart thing to do, because I was sitting on his lap, so I fell on top of him.
"Hi," I greeted.
"Hi," Harry smiled. Then he kissed me. I laughed. This was a big mistake, because he started tickling me. I was laughing so hard, tears were falling down my face. He stopped suddenly.
"What?" I asked. His green eyes looked into mine. I wonder why both of our eyes are green? He took my head in his hands and gently kissed my tears away. "Harry, I'm not sad. Don't waste your kisses on me." He kissed my lips.
"I'm never wasting a kiss when I kiss you." He told me. I hugged him. "Thank you," I whispered, and he hugged me tighter.
A creak of the door and a, "Finally," was my response.

P.S. Sorry for the short chapters. They really does look longer on Microsoft Word, but I had to go through all this crap to upload this. By the way, does anyone know how to spell 'Weasley'? I've read it a lot of different ways and I can't find any of my books. I moved okay! Get off my back!
