Chapter 10*~~
Sleeping, Dudley, Quidditch*~~
Everyone was spread out in the living room, fast asleep. Dudley was seated in the corner. He looked much smaller. This was because of the weight loss potion Mrs. Weasley had given him. He was not quite as porky anymore.
Sirius and Remus was on the ground in front of the couch with the twins on their right. Bill and Charlie were on the other couch each facing the opposite direction, feet in each other's faces. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were in two big chairs pushed next to each other. Percy was draped in a chair next to the couch Bill and Charlie were on.
Hermione had her head in Ron's lap on the couch Padfoot and Moony were by. Harry was leaning on one armrest of the love seat. Ginny's was lying on top of him, his arm around her waist (unconsciously).
Soon everyone was up and in the kitchen with the exception of Ginny and Harry. No one had paid them any mind. Harry awoke drowsily. He felt his arm around something and felt a warm body on his own.
He saw Ginny's bright red pina colata smelling hair. Her chocolate eyes were closed. He shut his eyes again and loosened his grip quickly, so no one would come in and see it. Not moving, he waited for Ginny to awake.
A while later. She opened her eyes. Ginny rubbed her eye sand looked up at Harry, not wanting to leave his warmth. "Why didn't you wake me up?" she asked.
"I didn't want to wake you up."
"Oh."
"I'll get them," they heard Ron say. Ginny was just pushing herself off of Harry when he entered the room. "What the."
Ginny smiled at Ron as she stood up. Harry also stood. "You want us?" asked Ginny.
"Time to eat," Ron said. They three went in the kitchen.
Harry and Ginny took a seat next to each other in the bigger kitchen. Sirius sat on Harry's other side. Remus sat on Ginny's other side. Hermione sat across from Ginny and Ron sat across from Harry. Molly and Arthur each took one of the ends. Bill and Charlie sat on the end nearest their father across from each other. Fred and George sat across from each other next to their mother. Next to Hermione and George sat Dudley and across form him (between Ginny and Fred) sat Percy. (u follow that???)
There was mounds of food piles up. Soon it was all gone. Sirius and Remus volunteered for cleen up. "Can you be trusted?" asked Molly in a mother-like tone.
"No," said Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. The two men turned ot them and pouted.
"Boo hoo. That face doesn't work with us," Harry said.
"It's actually kind of disgusting," Ron said.
"Kind of?" said Dudley. They all snorted.
"Let's go up to Ron's room. We can get our brooms and show Dudley how to play quidditch," Ginny suggested.
"Good idea!" Charlie said. "Me and Bill will play."
"So will we," Fred said.
"Yupsers," George said. (gotta carry on the whole they each speak thing)
"We'll clean up and then come out," Sirius said excitedly.
"Not you and quidditch! His cannot end well," groaned Remus. "There has never been a practice or game when Sirius has not been hurt playing."
"Oh, yeah, you all have a present from me and Remi!" Sirius said.
So they all got their brooms (some didn't have any so they just sat on the grass ouside) and waited for the two Marauders. Percy even volunteered to be referee as he had off that day.
"Here you are!" proclaimed a proud Moony. They handed each person an present.
Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, and Percy all got Nimbus 2001 brooms. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny got Nimbus 2002 brooms. Dudley got weight loss potions and a copy of Quidditch Through The Ages. Harry found a giant trunk in his present paper. (yes, present paper, not wrapping, present)
It was a beautifully hand carved box with Potter engraved on the top. James, Lily, and Harry was engraved smaller above that. He opened it to see a set of quidditch balls. He took out the snitch and found it was a shiny gold as usual but there was an elegant P engraved on it.
"James and Lily got that the year they were married. Petunia sent it," Sirius said quietly.
"My Mum?" asked Dudley.
"That was the last time Lily ever got anything form her," Remus said.
"Anyways, let's play quidditch!" Harry said excitedly. They quickly explained to Dudley how to play. He decided to watch.
"Chasers?" said Percy. Ginny, Hermione, Sirius, and Remus raised their hands. "Ginny and Hermione on the Lions, Sirius and Remus on the Gryffindors. Keepers?" Ron and Bill raised their hands. "Alright. Ron for the Lions and Bill for the Gryffindors. Beaters?" Only Fred and George raised their hands. "Okay. Dudley can be referee. I'll be a beater and then Fred and George can get Lee."
The twins disappeared and reappeared later with Lee Jordan. "Fred and George can be beaters for the Lions, Lee and I will do Gryffindors. And seekers?" Harry and Charlie raised their hands. "Harry for Lions, Charlie for Gryffindors."
Soon they were in a fast and tough game of quidditch. Harry's eyes flew everywhere searching for the snitch. Ginny, Hermione, and Percy were actually really good. Sirius and Remus took only one minutes to be back in their quidditch mode.
"I hear you're a good seeker," Charlie said, flying up next to Harry perched on his Firebolt.
"Guess so."
"Guess we'll see who the better one is," Charlie said lightly. Harry saw it, the snitch, right by the Lion goal posts. He knew Charlie would see it by Harry had wait for his team to score only once more.
'Time for a trick.' Harry sped to the opposite end of the field, concentrating on a beautiful wild lily on the ground. He dove. Charlie went after him, searching frantically. Harry pulled up and grabbed the lily. After Ginny scored he flew to her and gave it to her.
Charlie smiled at him. "War." Charlie mouthed. Harry knew Ginny and Mione were starting to rapidly score. And Harry saw it. About two centimeters above the ground in the center. He dove, fast and hard. It was sixty feet down.
Charlie had seen it the same moment and they were both hurling at top speed. Harry flattened himself on his broom. He pulled ahead. He urged his broom on. Charlie tried to hit him away. Harry grinned and shoved back. Ten feet. Five. Three.
They each had their hands out. At the last moment Harry felt Charlie jerk up, afraid of crashing. Harry jerked his broom at the last minute and grabbed the snitch. The Lions cheered. Ginny hugged him tightly.
"Guess we know Harry's the better seeker," Charlie said grinning. Sirius stared at Harry for a while.
"You kind of have this habit of creeping me out," Harry told Padfoot.
"Sorry. You just. you fly better than James ever did," Sirius said proudly.
Harry smiled. "Wanna go again?" asked Percy.
"Duh!" Ginny said. She tossed him one of Harry's four beater clubs. "Let's go!"
At lunchtime Ron and Hermione volunteered to go make something. Molly was out shopping and Arthur was at work. Soon the kitchen was covered in flour as Hermione taught Ron to make scones the muggle way. Ron put his hands on hers as they needed the dough.
She relaxed against him. She turned around and looked at him. They slowly started closing the space between their lips. A pop in the entry room made them pull apart. Molly had come to drop off their books for school.
"Just popping in. See you for dinner!" She disappeared. Ron and Hermione looked at each other.
"What just happened?" asked Hermione.
"We were about to kis when my mother popped in," Ron said softly.
"Though so." He grabbed her waist and she slid her arms around his neck and they started kissing. A while later they broke apart.
"I think I want you to be my girlfriend."
"I think I want to be."
They finished baking and then levitated it outside. (screw the rules!)
