Chapter 18
Ginny stared at the piece of parchemnt in disbelief. She read it and re- read it over and over but it still said the same thing:
The new Beater for the Gryffindor Quidditch team is Ginny Weasley. Next rehearsal is this morning at 8 o clock. Be there.
Ginny glanced at her watch. Uh oh, it was already 7:55, she'd have to run if she wanted to be there on time. She ran as fast as she could out to the Quidditch pitch. As she ran she could see that there were already about 4 people there. She ran up to them and she could see Harry come into plain view. He looked up and saw her. His smile reached from ear to ear. Ginny just couldn't understand how he could forgive her for dumping him.
The other Chaser showed up and Harry went into a deep explanation about their next plan. Ginny yawned and started day dreaming, until she was snapped out of it by Harry looking right at her.
"Ginny? Are you with us? Good. As I was saying. Sorry about the short notice for you Ginny, but our next match is this afternoon. Against Slytherin."
Ginny's heart skipped a beat. Surely he couldn't have just said that. Today? But she wasn't ready for a match today, and with DRACO! She hadn't practiced! Ginny waited until everyone had left except her and Harry.
"Umm, Harry? I don't know if I can play today, I mean, I haven't practiced or anything and..." She trailed off as he looked into her eyes, his at first filled with a worried look, and then confidence.
"Listen Ginny. I wouldn't have picked you if I thought you weren't good enough. You are, and if you still aren't sure why don't you and I practice a bit before the match. Sound good?" Ginny nodded, smiling.
Ginny and Harry flew around, practicing, and by the end Ginny felt much better, and more confident.

Ginny was sweating. A bludger had come within an inch of Draco's head... but worse; it was hers. Draco sent her a look of... was it rage or fear? Ginny sent him back a sympathetic look. It really wasn't her fault he kept almost getting knocked off his broom. The whole game he'd been staring at her, he wasn't even concentrating on the game.
Just then a bludger headed straight for her head, she ducked just in time. Another came at her from her left, and she swerved missing it by inches. What was this? Hit Ginny with a bludger?
Just then a bludger came right at her, she picked up her club and whacked it as hard as she could at the person who had hit it at her. Just as it was about to hit him, he noticed it and ducked. Ginny's eyes widened in horror. Right behind him had been Draco and it had hit him. He was falling quickly, he was nearing the ground quickly.
Ginny dove towards him, she was going more quickly than she knew her broom was capable of, the sweat was pouring off her forehead, but she didn't notice it, she didn't notice a thing around her, the only thing she knew was that she had to get Draco, before the ground did. Just as she thought it was hopeless, her broom got a burst of speed, she was right under Draco, and she held out her arms. He fell right into her arms. Boy was he heavy, but Ginny didn't notice, all she knew was that he was safe.
"Don't you ever do that again." Ginny said sternly, her voice still shaking with fear and shock. Draco just looked at her.
"Huh?" He said, as his eyelids closed tightly. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"You know you really are heavy." Ginny said, as she started descending towards the ground. She landed and tried to stand Draco up. He almost fell over. Oh boy. Thought Ginny. Ginny picked him up and put him on her broom. She grabbed her wand and got the broom to levitate, still holding Draco on it. She led him to the Hospital Wing. He was laid down on a bed, and she sat beside him. He fell asleep, he was still out of it.
**********
Draco opened his eyes, and rubbed them, trying to get them to focus. He looked around him. Where was he? This looked like the Hospital Wing. Why would he be in the Hospital Wing?
He turned and saw Ginny sitting in a chair beside him, fast asleep. She really was beautiful when she slept. She looked like an angel. The moonlight made her face shimmer, and caught the highlights in her hair perfectly. Her mouth was closed in a small smile. Draco could almost see the halo above her head.
Just then Ginny stirred, and slowly opened her eyes. She saw Draco looking at her, her eyes opened wide.
"You're up!" She said.
"Yes..... why am I in the Hospital Wing?" Ginny's head snapped up.
"You don't remember?" He shook his head, his brows knit together.
"Well, um. I will skip the details then. What happened was... you got hit by a bludger, and you fell towards the ground and then...." Ginny looked down as her face turned scarlet.
"And then......?" Draco said, left hanging. "I obviously didn't hit the ground, since I don't seem to be hurt... at least not seriously." Draco said, checking himself all over.
"Well you see.... some one... caught you..." Ginny said, her head still down.
"Some one? Who?" Draco said, now interested to know who his 'knight in shining armour' was.
"Well... umm.... I caught you..." Ginny said, looking at him, completely embarassed. Ah, so the 'knight in shining armour' was an 'angel in Quidditch robes'.
"Well thanks, Angel." Draco said winking at her. "Wait.... so.. the whole school saw me be saved by a girl...?" Draco said uncertainly. Ginny giggled.
"Yup, I guess your rep. is ruined." Ginny said raising her eyebrows as she smiled.
"And it's all your fault." Draco said, shaking his head, trying to keep a straight face. Ginny jumped onto the bed and started tickling him.
"Hey! No fair! I'm injured!"
Everyone who passed the Hospital Wing that night could hear giggles and laughs and shrieks coming from one of the rooms, but they just shook their heads, taking it to be fatigue playing tricks on them.
