Harry Potter and the Year of Changes
Chapter Ten: Gryffindor Vs Slytherin
The rest of the week went by quickly, Harry was pushing the Quidditch team harder then Wood ever had. He wasn't about to lose a House Cup. Harry and Ginny were closer than ever, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their practices. Every chance the team got, they practiced. Ginny didn't mind, she just liked being with Harry, even if he was screaming at the entire team through the entire practice.
They all worked hard and finally Harry was convinced they would beat Slytherin. The night before the Quidditch match Harry put everyone on a bedtime, and made sure that everyone followed it. He made extra certain that Ginny followed it, since they spent every night going between their beds.
The next morning everyone was buzzing around preparing for the Quidditch match. Owen was busy catching up and trying to get ahead on his homework, so he wouldn't be at the match and Jeanette was with him helping him. Lisa and Nicole were sitting in the Ravenclaw stands while Harry and Ginny got ready to get on the field. Hermione sat with Neville and Parvati while they watched the game.
Harry gave everyone a little pep talk before they went out, "Now I know this is the first game of the season, and we're practically a new team, but we can do this. We've beaten Slytherin before, and we'll do it again today. They have a completely new team, and their Captain hasn't been pushing their team the way I've pushed you all. We have the better team, so let's go out there and kick some Slytherin butt."
That was all it took, everyone was racing off down the corridor with the team Firebolt's as they waited to be called onto the field. Ginny and Harry kissed and hugged before going out, wishing one another luck before the game started. Finally it was time for the game, Ginny kissed Harry and everyone walked onto the field. Madam Hooch blew the whistle and off they went. Within two minutes of the start Gryffindor lead the game, 100 to 10.
Slytherin was looking pathetic, and just as they called a time out, Harry saw a beater from the Slytherin team throw a buldger that hit Ginny right in the face. Ginny screamed and was hanging to her broom by a hand, Harry, Charlie and Jeramy dove for Ginny as fast as they could, Madam Hooch was standing directly below her ready to interfere if necessary.
It took all three of them to pull Ginny up on her broom, and when they got to the ground she was sobbing and shaking in Harry's arms. Madam Hooch came over to the Gryffindor team and announced they'd be receiving three penalty shots for the move that Slytherin had made. Harry asked her to extend the time out for two minutes, she agreed and said they wouldn't use time from Gryffindor.
Harry was furious with Draco over this, he didn't let go of Ginny once while he talked to the team. Harry looked at Jeramy and Charlie, "Get them back. Do it discretely, and I want one of you by Ginny at all times. They want a dirty game, we'll give it to them."
Jeramy and Charlie nodded, "I'm sure Malfoy would love it if we sent the Buldgers his way for once."
Ginny's eye was turning three shades of purple, and Harry gently rubbed her back. "Greg, I'm counting on you to keep their bloody chasers from scoring, even once. I'll find the snitch as fast as I can, this game needs to be over before one of us gets killed. Lavender and Hope, can you two handle this? I don't know that I want Ginny up there anymore tonight. I'd almost feel better if we got Laura or Dean up there as they are our reserve chasers if you can't."
Lavender smiled at Harry, "We can take down the Slytherins, just worry about finding that snitch."
Ginny looked up at him, "I can go up Harry, Lavender and Hope can't keep both Quaffles on their own, they need me up there helping them."
Harry kissed her forehead, "You can go up if you would like, but you're staying next to me."
She smiled at him, "Only if you can keep up with me, Potter."
With that they all mounted their brooms and took off, Ginny, Hope and Lavender scored several times, Harry fending off both Buldgers from hitting Ginny three different times a piece, and was getting one away from hitting Lavender when he saw the snitch. Amazingly the Buldgers didn't attempt to hit Hope once. Jeramy took over guarding Ginny and Lavender, Malfoy hadn't seen it yet.
Harry dove for the snitch at record speed, and by the time Malfoy realized he'd seen the snitch, it was too late. Harry had the snitch in his hand, and Gryffindor won 260 points to 30 points. A devastating loss for Slytherin. Immediately after he caught the snitch he flew back to Ginny's side and pulled her right off her broom and into his arms. She pulled her broom along with them and wrapped her arms around his waist. They were on the ground moments later, Ginny still in his arms, Harry handed Madam Hooch the snitch and carried Ginny the entire way to the Hospital Wing.
Madam Pomfrey repaired most of the bruising in Ginny's face, and two small fractures in her nose. Harry stayed with her, holding her hand through the entire process. Hermione and Jeramy came down to make sure Ginny was alright. Once Madam Pomfrey had finished they all walked back up to their dormitory, Harry insisted on carrying Ginny the entire way. He walked right up to his bed and laid her down on the bed.
That night Harry and Ginny slept in Harry's bed, and after everyone else had gone to bed, Harry made love to Ginny. They kissed and hugged for hours afterwards, and then stopped to look in one another's eyes. Harry smiled, kissed Ginny and whispered, "I love you Ginny."
She smiled and whispered back, "I love you too, Harry."
He held her close and ran his fingers through her hair, "I was so scared that I'd lost you today. Seeing you hanging by the edge of that broom was like having someone rip my heart out of my chest. I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost you when I was that close to you and didn't even see it coming."
She smiled and kissed him, "Harry the only reason I held onto that broom was because of you. Because I love you, and I'm not ready to let go of us yet, not this soon. Besides, I haven't had my wedding day yet, and it would be nice to die after we've had a couple kids."
Harry and Ginny kissed, they couldn't have been happier at that moment if they'd tried to be. They both knew at that moment that everything they were going to go through wouldn't matter, as long as they were together. They eventually fell asleep, with Ginny's head resting on Harry's Chest, and his arms holding her close to him.
