A/N: Alright peoples, I think this story is coming to a close sometime soon. I'm out of EXCITING twists in the plot, and I have serious writers block.

Chapter 17

Ginny walked up to the message board outside the Great Hall, there was a large piece of parchment on it. It said that they were doing try outs for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, for beater. One of the players had quit. Ginny immediately saw the name flash inside her head; Karly. Ginny made a mental note of the date and time of the try-outs, then ran up to the common room, to talk to Karly.

Karly was sitting on a couch in the common room, looking like she was completely out of it. She had her head in her hands and was deep in her thoughts. Just then Ron walked in. Karly looked up and bit her lip so hard Ginny thought it would fall off. Ginny waved her hand in front of Karly.

"Hello? Earth to Karly!" Ginny said. Karly seemed to snap out of it.

"Huh? Wha? Ron?"

"Listen Karly. I am Ginny, and you do NOT fancy my brother. Got it? I know what you biting your lip means, and you just practically bit it off!" Karly finally came to.

"What business is it of yours? I can like whoever I want!"

"Not when it's my BROTHER!" Ginny yelled. Ron turned around, but when he realized what was going on he tried to sneak out of the room. No luck, Ginny saw him.

"Oh Ronny! You know what? Karly thinks you're hot! You two should so go out!" Ron turned red and hurried out of the room.

"Whatever, Karly this is not what I came here to talk about. I came to ask about the Quidditch team."

"Oh, yah, that. I quit it." Karly said, as though that sort of thing happened everyday.

"What? You just up and quit? Why? You used to love Quidditch! Even more obsessed than Ron!" Ginny realized she'd just mentioned the magic word, sure enough Karly went back into a trance like state. Ginny let out a scream of frustration and stormed up to her room.

She opened the door, her dorm was empty. On her pillow was a red rose and a note tied with a red ribbon. She walked over and picked up the rose, taking a deep breath and smelling the sweet, drowsy scent of the rose. She picked the note up and smelled it, it smelt of expensive cologne. She pulled the ribbon off and read the note.

Dear Gin,

Did you see that message about try-outs for the Gryffindor Quidditch team? You should try out. You'd get the spot. I know you would.

Love you,

Draco

Ginny smiled. Draco always left her little notes. They wer always sweet, sometimes he left her chocolate too.

***************

Ginny wrung her hands nervously. She was standing out on the Quidditch field with about 5 other Gryffindors. Draco had finally talked her into trying-out, even though she was nervous out of her mind.

Harry was standing in front of them saying something, he was captain now. He was explaining what they had to do. Ginny tried to focus but she was too nervous, all his words just slurred together.

Ginny felt dizzy, and she was sweating. Harry walked up to her and took her arm.

"Gin? Are you ok?" Harry said, steadying her. Ginny put her hand to her head. Harry sat her on the grass. He pulled out a water bottle and handed it to her. She took a gulp and felt a bit better. At least she wasn't dizzy anymore. Ginny stood up, and grabbed her broom.

"Ok, I'm ready." Ginny said.

Ginny had to fly around for a while, and hit bludgers, and things. Finally Harry called them all down to the pitch again.

"Alright, that was a good try-out day. We will post the new beater tomorrow morning on the message board."
