The Prophecy
Chapter 3: Ginny
"Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasley, and Sky I have something important to tell you. Please come with me." Dumbledore announced. Ginny stood up, her confusion evident on her face, and followed Dumbledore and the other three out of the great hall. What is going on? Thought Ginny, hmmm Sky seems to know where we are going…
"Please come into the library." Dumbledore requested. Everyone followed him in, three of them wondering what the heck was going on, and looked at a piece of parchment that he held up.
"I would like you three to read this, indicating Ginny, Harry, and Draco, Sky already has seen it. He waited while the three leaned over the prophecy and read through it, gasping as they recognized the descriptions of themselves. Draco was the first to speak after they had finished reading.
"What does this mean, headmaster?" He asked slowly.
"It means what it says, my dear boy!" Dumbledore replied.
"So… we all have incredible powers that will defeat the "Dark Lord" which, of course, is Voldemort and they will be "revealed" one after the other?" Draco summarized, sounding kind of dazed.
"Yes you do. I'm sorry this is so sudden, but I just found this and I don't even really know what is going to happen!" Dumbledore said, "I just thought you might want to know about what is going to happen to you in the near future."
"Well then," replied Draco forcefully, "I'm ready for it!" The others nodded in agreement. Harry and Ginny got along with Draco a lot better ever since he ran away from his father after refusing to become a death eater. Draco and Ginny were getting closer to realizing their feelings for each other all the time. Suddenly Harry's head jerked up as if he has suddenly remembered something.
"Oh Ginny! I almost forgot we have Quidditch tryouts! You have to fly with the new chasers to see how well they work with you remember?" Harry questioned.
"Oh right, sorry." She apologized. The chaser from last year had graduated and the team had to find a new one. The team so far was, Ginny as chaser, A fourth year named Elizabeth Digby as the other chaser, Ron as keeper, Harry as Seeker and Captain, a third year named Wes McGee as a beater, and Colin Creevey as the other Beater. Now they just had to find another chaser! Then Sky spoke up.
"Quidditch? Oh I love playing that game as a chaser! Can I try out?" She asked
"Sure," Replied Harry, "Anyone can, well anyone in Gryffindor."
"All right!" Sky whooped.
"Well ok," said Harry smiling, "We'll see you on the field!" Then he and Ginny left.
As Ginny and Harry walked down the corridor toward the Quidditch field, Ginny saw fit to ask Harry a very… personal question.
"You like Sky don't you!" Ginny exclaimed, Surprising Harry so badly that he walked straight into a wall! Ginny giggled as Harry rubbed his head. "I'll take that as a yes!"
"Well… I… She… uh… you see…" Harry sputtered, then he sighed in defeat, "Well yes I think I do."
"YOU THINK!" Ginny screeched, "For gosh sakes Harry! You missed your chair because of her and then you walk into a wall!" "What part of that doesn't say you like her?"
"Ginny," Harry pleaded, "Could you please keep it down!"
"Oh, Sorry." "Lets just wait for the others to get here!" for by then they had reached the Quidditch field.
"Good plan" replied Harry. Just then Elizabeth and Wes walked out onto the field, and up to Harry and Ginny.
"Colin and Ron are leading the people who are trying out up here now." Elizabeth informed them.
"They should be yet any second." Wes added. And, right on cue, Ron and Colin walked out leading the perhaps, soon-to-be Chasers.
"Argh," Cried Harry, "Where is Madame Hobbins? We can't start without her!"
"Here I am, Here I am!" Shouted Madame Hobbins as she stepped onto the pitch, "Lets begin now!" Ginny, Elizabeth, and Ron rose into the air to test the new chasers.
"Ok," Shouted Harry, "First up! Lets go!" Then Harry noticed that Sky was third in line. She winked at him, but she still looked slightly nervous. The first person, Seamus Finnigan, flew up into the air, and waiting for the signal to begin.
"Ok," Harry called up to Seamus, "We will start by seeing how well you work with the other chasers!" after seeing Seamus nod he then shouted to Elizabeth and Ginny "Ok toss the Quaffle to Seamus and see how well he can get it down the pitch with you, ok! Ok" Elizabeth passed the Quaffle to Seamus, who flew along with it for a minute and then passed it to Ginny who was already thinking, "Ball Hog." She passed back to Elizabeth, who passed it back to her, and she then passed to Seamus, who just went the rest of the way with it, but didn't get it past Ron.
"Ok! Now lets try that with Bludgers!" Harry yelled. This went on for awhile longer before Harry called stop to it and told Ginny and Elizabeth to come down and score Seamus. Ginny was not happy with Seamus and she could tell that Elizabeth was not happy either.
"Harry," whispered Ginny, "He is a absolute and total Ball Hog!"
"And he could never score!" added Elizabeth, "I don't think we should rate him at all! I'd rather not have a chaser then have him!" Ginny nodded in agreement.
"Ok," Harry replied, "Scratch Seamus." They then tested Lavender Brown who was "ok" and then it was Sky's Turn. She flew up gracefully. She was terrific! She worked very well with the other Chasers and always scored on Ron. She just needs to work on her dives a bit, thought Ginny, but other then that I think we have our Chaser!
"Well," said Ginny after everyone had been tested, "I liked Sky the best Harry"
"Yes," said Elizabeth, "She worked really well with me!"
"Ok then Sky's our girl!" Harry replied happily. He then turned to all the expectant people waiting for the decision. "Well, you all tried very hard! But only one of you can be picked and that person is, Sky! Ginny hoped no one would be mad at Sky but she saw that most of the kids were nodding their heads. They agreed that Sky was a terrific Chaser. Suddenly Sky bounded up to her and hugged her. Ginny grinned at her.
"Happy you could join the team Sky!" Ginny congratulated her.
"Yeah," Elizabeth said, "You were really great!" Sky grinned at the two of them
"You two are wonderful Chasers to," Sky informed them, "I'm sure we will win the cup with you two!" Just then Ron, Wes, and Harry came up to congratulate Sky too. Ginny could tell this was the start of a great Quidditch year!
