{I am so sorry. I meant to do the Quidditch this chapter but for some
reason when I sat down at the comp, my fingers started typing out this. It
took longer than I expected so in the end I decided to do the trials next
chapter. I hope you enjoy this chapter all the same and I will be posting
the next chapter either tonight or tomorrow morning}

Ch 8 - Sleeping Problems
Ginny loved the feeling of the sand under her feet, it was really relaxing. She was walking along an endless beach in her bare feet, walking towards the setting sun.
She turned around when she heard a sound behind her. Harry was running to catch up with her.
"Ginny, I have this fish at my house," he said when he had caught up to her. Ginny nodded, urging him to go on.
"It is the tiniest fish in my tank and it is always getting pushed around by my other bigger fish. I have had this fish for ages and it had always acted like this," Harry continued.
Ginny nodded again, staring at the setting sun.
"Yesterday, this fish started bullying the other fish back when they picked on it. Now all of the other fish don't know what to make of it. And Ginny, neither do I. I've always found it boring and annoying, but now I can't stop looking at it, and taking care of it." Harry said, playing with his glasses.
"Why did you tell me this?" asked Ginny.
"Because the fish told me to," was the immediate reply.
Hold on, fish don't talk thought Ginny.
Harry turned his big green eyes on her and said,
"I'm confused; I don't know what to do." Harry said.
Ginny ignored him and kept walking.
"I'm confused, I'm confused, I'm confused," Harry had disappeared but his voice kept repeating those two words.
Suddenly a wave washed over Ginny and carried her out to sea. She was under the water and it was dark, but she kept swimming downwards. Her whole body was numb but she just kept swimming.
Her eyes spotted a tiny goldfish, swimming downward too. Her mind didn't register that goldfish didn't live in the sea. She just kept swimming after it. She knew it was Harry's fish.
It was cold, very cold. But she could see a light; it was bathing her in its warmth. She saw the fish swim in front of her face. She cupped her hands around it and screamed as a blinding white light filled her vision.
~*~*~*~*~
Ginny woke with a start. She was clammy and sweating, her sheets twisted around her. Clutching her panting chest she sat up slowly.
That was so odd she thought, untangling herself from her sheets. She climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom.
Walking back to her dorm, she thought she heard a sound from downstairs. She tip - toed down the stairs and peered into the common room. Someone was sitting by the fire, just staring into space.
She walked a bit closer and realized the person had red hair.
Ron.
She walked up behind him and perched on the back of the couch. She stared into the fire.
"Can' sleep?" she asked quietly.
He started but didn't turn around. He sighed and answered,
"I can't face anyone in my dorm with out being teased about being shown up by my own sister. Plus, I can't sleep, although that's probably the reason why I can't."
"Ron, I did what I had to do. Maybe it was a bit much, but I was letting out my anger that I had bottled up inside me all my life." Ginny said.
"That didn't mean you had to embarrass me in front of everyone! I can't believe you did that!" Ron exploded, finally turning around.
"And I can't believe you just said that! Have you forgotten what YOU did to ME today already?" Ginny shouted back.
"You're not that brave or tough Ginny! This is just a phase that will pass and you'll go back to the pitiful child you were before!" Ron yelled.
Ginny fumed, "Ron, you're my brother and I love you, but you are such an asshole," she said, no longer shouting, but talking as if stating a fact.
She turned on her heel and stomped up the stairs. This was not a phase, it would not pass. This was the true her and Ron was going to have to learn that the hard way!
~~I'm sorry that was a really short chapter. I was going to do the Quidditch trials this chapter, but this turned out to be longer than I thought it would be, and I wanted too do the Quidditch in 1whole chapter, not divided in 2. But the next chapter is definitely going to be ALL Quidditch. And it will be soon - I promise! And to make up for the last two pretty short chapters, I will try and get in two long ones asap~~
***Please R&R**
magicrules - thanks I will

Nessypotter - thanks
X-Manda Panda-X - glad you like it
Lunatic ladybug - you also have a great name! mine is so boring :( thanks for reviewing
Luvhp224 - I read your parody on L/J fics, I have to say it was hilarious! Its so true! I also like your story Passions and Potions - its really coming along. I would also like to say that you are not mean at all, I am also a very opinionated person and no way does that make you mean or too critical! Please keep up your reviews, they're long and interesting to read.
Loony Moony - I agree completely
Sleepydevil27x - Hehe, I love Ron bashing
Freakyforggurl22 - only time will tell
Rayssa Radcliffe - trust me she doesn't think she's all that, she's just finding out what it means not to be a doormat
Peemes - Lol, I am deeply sorry and will try to speed up
Magic sparkle 1 - you know that is a great idea, I was going to do something along those lines, however Ginny would just be flirting to make Harry suffer, this is and always has been an H/G fic
Wizzabee - he is isn't he? He gets better though
Amanda - thankyou - she was being a bit bitchy but like I said, she needed a bang. Don't worry, that was the worst she got. Ron too come to think of it. I read a G/D fic and I agree, totally weird. R/Hr coming up soonish
Mysticalecho - merci beaucoup
Dk Lili - Ahhh sweet revenge
Gotta b writin - I thought about what you said, and yes I know that all theses good things are happening, but a lot of bad things happened the majority of her life. Plus, when I started writing this fic one of the only clear written down ideas is that Ginny would wow everyone in the trials. Sorry.
Annskers - she is no way going to be as drastic I am just to lazy to sign in - yeah monkeys terrify me slightly too.
LiZzIe-WeAsLeY - thanks, H/R coming up soon

Crazy Red - you were in no way cruel, no one really was. I just wanted to point that out because I hate flames. I liked the clapping effect too; I've always wanted to do that in a story. Ginny trying out for Chaser had always been a big part in this fic, it was one of my first ideas.
Luvhp224 - don't apologize! You were just being honest in your opinion, I gave you a pretty full on review for passions and potions so don't worry about it!
