JR: Can I help it that I had midterms to study for? Take it up with my professors! And then there was SPRING BREAK! YAY! And we were busy traipsing around the state. Texas is a big place.
ME: You don't have to tell me, I was there.
JR: Well, I wasn't talking to you anyway.
YGO: And you didn't take me?
YB: Just do the disclaimer and start the story already!
ME: Yeesh! Fine. We didn't invent any of this. So, it's not ours so you cain't sue.

Chapter Sixteen: How {NOT} To Get A Girl
Harry watched as the group stepped out of the Shadow Realms on onto the field. His eyes landed almost immediately on the form of his godfather. Harry rubbed his eyes and blinked several times to be sure it wasn't an illusion. There no more than 150 ft. below him was the man he had lost all hope of ever seeing again, Sirius Black.
Shock ran through his body like a bolt of lightning and time seemed to slow down. The world became fuzzy and dark and his grip on his broom slackened as he slowly began to slide off his broom. All at once his focus came back and time sped back up but it was too late, he was falling.
Harry heard Sirius yell his name. He was so far away and yet closer than Harry had dared to every hope he would be again. He opened his mouth to scream but it felt as if something jammed into the back of his throat. He could no longer breath as the fear began to well up inside of him.
'So this is how it's going to end.' Thought Harry. 'No great battle between Voldemort and me. Just splat. Right there on the ground all because I was so stunned at seeing Sirius. Ironic really...'
His thoughts as well as his fall came to a shuddering halt as some one grabbed his hand. The quick stop nearly pulled his arm out of socket. He looked up to see what had to be the most wonderful sight he had ever seen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny heard Sirius' shout and spun just in time to see Harry slip off of his broom. She sprang into action. Pushing her broom as fast as she could she raced to intercept Harry. She felt as if she were trying to fly through Jell-O. After what felt like an eternity she finally caught up with him. She stretched out her hand as far as she could and finally she felt his wrist and grabbed it as tightly as she could. As soon as her hand closed around his wrist she pulled her broom to an abrupt halt causing her's and Harry's arms to nearly pull out of socket.
As Ginny looked at him he seemed ready to pass out and his lips turned blue. He wasn't breathing.
"Harry." Her voice was no more than a whisper. "Harry breath. Please Harry, you can't ... you can't ...you must breath."
Harry's eyes focused for a moment and he began to cough. The small object that had lodged itself in his throat when he had tried to scream came out. Harry recognized it immediately and reached out and grabbed it with his free hand effectively ending the game. The stands erupted in cheers. Some for Ginny's spectacular catch and others for Harry's now trade mark catch.
Slowly they managed to get Harry up on the broom in front of Ginny. She gladly let him take control and wrapped her arms around his waist. It was sheer bliss to feel his comforting strength beside her. Little did she know his thoughts were along the same lines.
'Should I do it now?' Thought Harry. 'Would she really ever consider being my girlfriend?'
'* Sigh * the only thing that keeps this from being perfect is that he doesn't seem to return my feelings.' Ginny thought as she buried her face in his robe and inhaled his sent.
"We should share a broom more often." Harry said with out thinking. Having Ginny so close was messing with his mind.
"Very true, Mr. Potter." She replied in a daze of extacy.(1) 'Is this really happening to ME!' At her answer he wanted nothing more than to turn around and kiss her. So he tried. And they fell. Fortunately they weren't far off the ground, unfortunately they took down three others with them.
They landed with Ginny on bottom and Harry right over her. He caught himself before his full weight came down on her. However, Sirius, E.T., and then Yu Gi fell on him in that order. How he managed to keep from falling completely on her even he could not have said. Suddenly he got a very funny look on his face.
"Ginny," he said causing her heart to skip a beat, "be my girlfriend."
She was so happy she wanted to cry. Then she did. How could she not have seen it was she really that blind.
"You have the Britt Bug." She wailed. His face took on a bewildered and hurt expression. Someone approached and Harry looked up to see the Slytherin Quiddich Captain.
'Oh great, he probably came to make some snide remark about being saved by a girl and then falling again.' Harry thought, but was very surprised at what happened next.
"I do say, nice catch old chap. You to little miss." Said Ryou from his Slytherin host. Realization dawned on Ginny, Harry didn't have the Britt Bug. He himself, Harry Potter had asked her to be his girlfriend! She looked up at him with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.
"Yes, Harry! I will be your girlfriend!" She yelled, wrapping her arms around his neck.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron and Hermione watched the scene unfold from there respective positions. When Ron realized what had happened he panicked. 'Oh no, I promised I would ask Hermione if Harry asked Ginny.' And with out any more thought to the consequences of his actions he took off toward the Gryffindor stands hollering, "Hermione!"
Hermione looked up when she heard her name to see Ron speeding toward her. 'What was he doing...' Her thoughts were cut short as a snow white owl collided with her head and became entangled with her hair.
"Aahhh!" She screamed as she tried to disentangle the bird from her hair. Ron got there and managed to get the bird out of her hair. Realizing that it was Hedwig he sent her on to Harry and continued with his self ordained task.
"HermionegooutwithmepleasepleaseIdon'tknowwhatI'lldoifyousay no." He said as fast as he could his eyes squeezed shut expecting some mention of that stupid git, Viktor Krum. Hermione gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.
"You have the Britt Bug." She said, her mind following the same path as Ginny's had moments ago.
"No I don't." Ron said looking slightly offended. "He does." Said Ron pointing to the Slytherin who was now helping Professor Mouto off the pile of people. Hermione let out a small squeal of joy.
"Yes, Ronald Weasley, you git, I will go out with you!" She told him as she beamed with happiness. Ron let out a wild 'Whoop' as the stands erupted in applause and did several back flips on his broom. Then he swooped down and placed Hermione firmly in front of him on the broom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sirius and E.T. were face to face in the interesting pile and had both watched the two exchanges with some amusement.
"So, today seems to be a good day to ask out a pretty girl and get a favorable answer." Sirius said with a mischievous glint in his eye and a sly smile. "Why don't you ditch shortie over there and you and I can hook up."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Why don't you ditch shortie over there and you and I can hook up." It was all Yu Gi heard. Instantly he started to fight against Ryou's helping hand and tried to get to the man underneath his fiancee.
"Let me at him!" he screamed. "I'll kill him! I'm not that short ya know!" E.T. grunted as Yu Gi struggled to reach Sirius.
"Honey!" she cried. "You can't kill him, I just saved his life!"
"I don't care, I want to KILL him!"
"Back off, Shortie!" Sirius said, trying to defend himself from the unexpected onslaught, with both his hands trapped beneath the strange woman above him. Suddenly Estel shrieked.
"Stop that, you perv! That tickles!" He fell still as her open hand struck his cheek.
"Stop tickling my wife!!!!!" Yu Gi shouted. Instantly he found himself on the ground.
"I'm not your wife yet, you jerk!" she screamed jumping off of Sirius and slapping Yu Gi. Then, without further ado she stormed off to the castle, fuming about idiots.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sirius finally got off of Harry who let out a sigh of relief. His arms were killing him.
"Well, it's about time." He said helping Ginny up then rushing to give his godfather a hug.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
