Chapter 6 Gyffindor .v. Slytherin
-Monday at Pracitce.- "Alicia! Watch out!!" yelled Ginny as she came out and caught the quaffle. Passing it up to Ron, she heard Fred yell up at her "Great Gin" she glanced at Harry who was watching the practice from at least 20 feet above the field. Katie came around, and tried once again to score on Ginny. "Come on you guys.how am I suppose to practice if you guys are going easy on me.?!?" she said smiling at Ron as he came in "Score" he yelled. Ginny looked amazed. "The first and last one Ron!" she yelled tossing the quaffle to Katie. Harry came in out of now where, servings around all the players, dodging the bludgers, he came in did an awesome dive, and caught the snitch in his right hand. He looked up at Gin, and waved the team down.
"Great.no way Slytherin will have a chance.." Said Harry looking at the dirty faces of his team. This was followed by a very long speech, full of both good and bad comments. He then mentioned the news that Angelina had a very bad potions accident, and will be un-able to play for some time. Witch brought a smile to Ron's face; he would be taking her spot. "Ok, 15 laps around the field, just like the 10 at the beginning of practice, And remember practice Wednesday and Friday.Match on Saturday." Harry took off followed by Ron, Alicia and the rest of the team. Finishing their laps, practice was dismissed and they headed off to the locker room. They change in silence everyone was too tired to speak.
Harry entered the common room first, and headed straight for the boy's bathroom for a nice cold shower. Meanwhile, Ginny and Hermione were doing homework and of course talking about Harry and now Ron. "Mione..you...like.Ron.?" "Yes, Gin...I. do, I don't know why.something about him.just makes me...well you know!" they both giggled.
"Yeah, I know Mione...that's great though, I'm happy for you!"
"Only thing is.I don't think he feels the same way.."
"What...? Well.you will never know until you ask Mione." she said putting her History essay in her book.
"What.just ask him..?"
"Yeah.well I mean do it in a sanative way."
"Are you and Harry going out."Hermione said quickly, changing the conversation onto Ginny. -Awkward silence- "Gin..?"
"No, not yet..he hasn't asked and neither have I."
"Oh.ok.?" "Well I'm going to take a shower.quidditch you know," said Ginny taking out her ponytail and shaking her head, letting her loosely curled hair down and rest on her shoulders. Hermione just smiled and nodded, and began to write again. With in a few minutes Ginny was up in her bathroom and Harry was in the boy's dorm talking to Ron and "doing" homework. "So yeah.Ginny and I haven't talked about dating."
"Oh. ok Harry I was just wondering..its going to be weird though,.you dating my sister and all."
"Yeah, I know..so have you talked to Hermione.?"
"About what..?"
"About what..? Ron.come on you have only liked her since our 3rd year.and your asking what!"
"Harry.you know..Well.ummm."
"Ron...just talk to her.it wont hurt to just talk to her about it."
"Yeah, I guess your right.." Harry shrugged and went back to his potion's homework.
"I think I'm going to go shower.talk to you later Harry."
"Later Ron."
Harry finished his homework, wanting nothing more than to talk to Ginny. He went down to the common room; witch was packed with gyffindors from every year. But no Ginny, He asked Hermione where she was. "She went to take a shower." was all he got from her. Feeling a little disappointed he went back up to his dorm and lay on his bed. Slowly after he fell asleep, it was only 8:30 at night the whole Gyffindor team missed dinner. But Harry found that he wasn't hungry for food, but for Ginny. Picturing her smile, and her warm brown eyes, he drifted further into sleep.
-The Quidditch game on Saturday- Red and Green blurs filled the air; it was even harder to see the game. For the weather had worsen, from clear blue skies to a coal black, and rain was pouring, drenching the players, audience, and making the field muddy it was impossible to get a good kick off. Harry was thanking Ginny for her charm to repel water (harry had gotten a new pair of glasses during the summer, witch were much better than his last.) Harry was at least 10 feet above the game, looking for the snitch. Several shots were made on Ginny none made it threw. "Ouch. that had to hurt!" yelled Lee Jordan as Ginny rammed into one of the Slytherin chasers to get the quaffle. "Never thought a nice girl like her could throw some guy off his broom.Feisty that Weasley is." continued Lee Jordan in an amazed sort of voice as Professor McGonagall threatened him once more. The score was Gyffindor 50 and Slytherin 0.."OH! Cheap shot..! He pushed her right out the way.FOUL!" yelled Fred shaking his bat. They had just scored putting the score 50 to 10. Harry was looking everywhere for the snitch, the weather getting worse. He looked over at Ginny, and saw a blonde haired boy flying around her, as if trying to her attention. It was Malfoy. Harry suddenly remembered what Hermione had said about Malfoy wanting Ginny. Harry had no idea what to do, he wasn't thinking he just flew right up to Malfoy and looked at Ginny. She was glaring at Malfoy; shooting daggers at him threw her gaze. "Oi, Potter..coming to join the fun.?' Draco said silkily. "Malfoy.just play the game and stop harassing our Keeper.." "What.she is only your Keeper then eh.?" Harry raised an eyebrow, now Ginny was looking at him. "So I have a chance then.great" Malfoy continued smiling and looking at Ginny 's body. "Malfoy.play.the .game." said Harry strongly with anger in his voice. Ginny looked away, and began to watch the game. Out of the corner of his eye harry saw a flash of gold, he took off after the snitch, Draco on his tail. "So Potter.. you and Ginny aren't." has he flew right next to Harry, both them pushing on each other with their shoulders. "Malfoy.give it a rest.."
"Well I mean Harry.you can do much better than her.a Weasley."
"If I can do better" he began still watching the snitch. "Why do you want her..?"
"Well...she's a Weasley.witch is a pitty.but I mean look at her Harry."
"Pitty.?"
"Well I mean she wont be much use in the family.for sex and all yeah, but not in a relationship..don't you agree she is your little "Fuck" buddy right...?"
Harry said nothing, he was so angry he couldn't speak, he just watch the snitch. He looked away for a moment to see Ginny watching him and he lost it. (The snitch). He came to a stop, Malfoy continued on about Ginny. "I mean, she has the perfect body.I mean all the guys are looking at her.although she her chest isn't very big.its what a B cup.maybe a C.but of course you know how big SHE is..and she must be a little ball of fire, so tell me Harry does she like it ruff.or soft and gentle.. " Harry looked at Malfoy and without thinking punched him right in the face knocking him off his broom. -The whistle blew- Slytherin was given a penalty and Harry was benched, letting their sub come into the game. Who wasn't very good at all. The game continued until the weather was so bad the players were being blown off the field. The score was now G-260 and S-180 the game had gone on almost 5 hours. Madam Hooch called the game and made a date for a re-match.
Later that day they found out that Malfoy had a broken nose, and was bruised from the fall. Ginny never asked why Harry had hit him and cost them the game. Ron on the other hand asked constantly but Harry ignored him and would change the subject to Hermione. But then the bad news had come, Draco had told Madam Hooch that Harry attacked him to have advantaged on the game, not only did Slytherin there for win the game, Harry wasn't aloud to play the next 3 games and 30 points was taken from Gyffindor House. Giant arguments took place between all the houses, and to no surprise Slytherin was the only one on their side.
No one said a word about Quidditch until the next practice came around. But now they had to practice longer, harder and more days of the week, for the new seeker had no idea what he was doing on the field, he needed help. Practice took place everyday. Everyone was too tired to do anything, and many teachers were begging to complain about incomplete assessments and such. One night after practice Harry sat down with Ginny. There was more silence then talking, Harry finally said something to her. "Gin.I know you never asked or anything." he began as she turned to him, and what he saw shocked him. She was crying; tears running down her face, her eyes where no longer filled with warmth, but with a very cold and depressed look in them her wonderful smile was wiped from her face. She spoke to him cutting Harry off. "So.I'm just you Keeper.? She looked up at him as she tucked her red hair behind her ears. "Harry.?" "Ginny. I know that sounded..well rude but I didn't mean it like that.."
"Then how did you mean it." her voice began to rise.
" Well...I donno exactly I wasn't thinking clearly."
"So I am just your Keeper then.!?!" she looked at him, not moving her eyes.
"Ginny.you know you are more than a keeper..in fact I wanted to ask you something.and then tell you something.."
"What.?"
"Well first.Ginny.I know this might be a little weird, but I would 'love' to go out with you.like a couple.." Ginny just looked at him, she nodded for him to continue. This began to upset Harry. There was a long silence.
"What did you want t o tell me.?"
"Oh.nothing.never mind."
"Harry.don't do that.what did you want to tell me..?!?"
"Well...its about Malfoy.." Ginny raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
"And...?"
"Well...Hermione heard him talking.and well he told me right before I punched him.that.well.that."
"What Harry."
"That he wants you Ginny.he wants you for sex." Ginny just looked at Harry in surprise
"Ginny.?"
"Harry...why didn't you tell me.?"
"I just did."
"I mean before!.he came up to me today..and well he asked me out...Harry he asked me out."
"What did you say.?"
"Well I said Yes.but I mean only cos I thought you only wanted me for sex.witch I know is not true now.Harry I'm sorry."
"So you don't want to be a couple..?"
"Harry of course I do.I just didn't think you did..and well Harry I was gonna ask you tonight.but Draco.."
"I understand.."
"Harry.I want you.not Draco..I jut thought you were using me..so I will talk to him tonight.and be done with that excuse for a wizard."
"Using You..!?!?!"
"Well.yeah."
"Ginny.I care for you..a lot, I really want more out of this.not just being..."Fuck" buddies."
"Fuck buddies.?"
"Oh.that's what Draco called us..before I...you know."
"Harry, I didn't know you."
"Ginny." he said as he looked at her face, it was brightening, a small smile was formed on her face and her eyes still alert but kind. He couldn't help him self. He leaned towards her; they looked at each other for only a few moments when Harry was grabbed by Ginny, as she brought him in for another wonderful kiss.
"Harry" she said as he planted soft kisses upon her neck. "I'm sorry.about Malfoy.I wasn't thinking. I really want to be.well.your girlfriend and all..I just" she gave a slit moan as Harry's warm hands graced her back, as his finger danced on her smooth icy skin. Just as her icy hands touched his muscular chest her broke away from her. "Ginny.you know I can't.." he looked at her and watched her smile. He took his right hand and touched her milky white cheek whipping away her tears, as he brought his hand down, she grabbed it and kissed it. She stood up and began to walk out of the room, as she past Harry she whispered in his ear "Neither can I." and she walked away.
