Athena Carlow: Holy crap! You've never heard Stairway to Heaven? It's a classic. You should listen to it if you like rock. It's by Led Zeppelin. And I read your story updates! It's so cute! I can't wait to see what happens next. Sorry that I couldn't review on your actual page, but my computer is being stupid and won't let me. Ron is one of my favorite characters too. I won't keep him mean for too too long. But we shall see. :)
Dracofan99: Thank you! Haha the Stairway to Heaven thing was pretty random. But I was listening to it at the time, and I figured, why not? Lol Yeah musical taste is a pretty big deal for guys I like. It's always nice when they listen to the same music as you.

Ginevra Potter: Thank you so much! Here's the update! Enjoy !:)
actionmaster: Haha I hope I'm not making you to off track with your fic. Lol I always read other peoples fics instead of writing mine. What can I say? I'm a procrastinator.
Black Cherrie: Haha Stairway to Heaven is the best! Lol I'll try to keep writing good chapters. Hopefully I won't start sucking badly anytime soon. Lol
Maraudergrl99: That was really cool when you wrote that big paragraph about yourself. Now I know a little more about one of my most faithful reviewers! Lol Donnie Darko is a movie, and an excellent one at that! Jake Gyllenhall is in it. Yum. Lol I love piano, but it's such a pain in the ass o practice all the time. Haha don't worry I'm a geek too. Oh god I love snow. I live in Georgia now, so I don't see much of it. But I used to live in Pennsylvania, about 45 minutes from New York City. So we used to get these huge snowstorms. And we'd go to New York around Christmas time and it's absolutely beautiful. Where does it say that skaters scare me? Lol cause I don't remember putting that. I skate myself. Lol I love Fall Out Boy! That's awesome that you got to go that concert! I'm actually going to put an enormous list of bands on my bio really soon, so you can see what bands I like there. There's a massive amount and it would take all day to list them here. Lol Haha my mom's the one who put the pink in my hair! She's a hairstylist, so it's pretty cool. She will do all this cool stuff with my hair, and I don't have to pay anything. Lol Now that I've rambled enough, back to the story. Lol Don't worry, good things will happen soon. That's all I'm saying. Lol Thanks so much for the review! You've been really awesome and I appreciate that so much! :)
OExpecto PatronumO: Haha I love Stairway to Heaven also. Classic song. Led Zeppelin is simply amazing. Haha Liplockin' will happen soon enough! Lol
Thanks to everyone! Here's chapter fourteen! Read and Review! Thanks.
Hermione left the room, and that is when I began writing in you. I'm so nervous I don't know what to do. But I'll have to put that all aside, and suck it up. I have to make this team. For Harry. And For me.
Chapter Fourteen: Just Don't Drop the Quaffle, Okay?
September 19th 2004, 11:39 pm
At exactly eight o' clock I stepped onto the Quidditch pitch. The sky was dark and overcast, the only light coming from the slice of moon off in the distance. Right when I got there the first thing I thought was, how in the hell are we going to see? I began to mutter to myself like a complete psychopath, when I heard a noise right behind me. All of a sudden a cold hand touched my arm. Of course I screamed bloody murder. When I spun around, Harry was behind me laughing his ass off.
"Shut it." I said with a smirk.
"Sorry, I couldn't miss that opportunity." Harry replied with an enormous grin on his face.
I stuck my tongue out at Harry, and turned around. He put his arms on my shoulders, and turned me around.
"Are you ready Gin?" Harry asked.
"I hope so." I replied with a grim smile.
"Don't think like that. You'll do fine." Harry said with a grin.
Right after the words escaped Harry's lips, a voice was calling his name.
"Harry! Harry!"
"Yeah?" inquired Harry.
"Come here a minute!" replied the voice from across the pitch.
"Alright!" Harry shouted back.
He turned back to me with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry Ginny. I have to go see what they need."
"It's okay. Go ahead. You are the captain after all."
"Good luck Gin." He said with a smile.
Then he walked off, and I was left alone once again. So I decided to jump on my broom and fly around a bit. So I mounted, and took off. Once in the air, all my fears and worries escaped me. The cool September air was on my face, and I felt so refreshed. I flew back down, and dismounted my broom. Just then the lights around the pitch came on, and everyone was bathed in a fluorescent glow. I spied Ron, and made a face of disgust. Harry saw me, and let out a laugh. Then Harry started to speak.
"Alright everyone. Today we are holding tryouts for two Chasers. Everyone else we need is covered, so if you don't play Chaser you might want to leave."
A handful of people left, and Harry waved them goodbye and thanked them for coming. He then turned back to us and continued speaking.
"Ron is going to be playing Keeper against you today. So try not to hurt him too much." Harry said with a smirk.
Ron scowled in the background, and huffed. I snorted loudly. Very loudly. So loud in fact, that the whole team turned to look at me.
"What?" I asked innocently.
Everyone turned back towards Harry, and left me alone.
"Who would like to volunteer to try out first?" asked Harry
"I would." I said while raising my hand.
"Ginny. Anyone else?"
"No? Well then I guess I'll just have to choose you randomly."
A collective gulp echoed through the students. Harry smiled, and pointed at Colin Creevy.
"Colin. You. Now."
"Uh...Okay." Colin managed to squeak out.
Harry began searching again, and then stopped.
"Mount your brooms."
We all did.
"Ready? Go!" Harry yelled
We all flew up, and Harry released the Quaffle. I caught it, and flew upwards. I spotted Colin and tossed it to him. It was a terrible toss. It must have been twenty feet off from where he was. "DAMMIT!" I shouted loudly. I drew in a sharp breath, and began hovering in one spot. Colin threw the Quaffle at me, and I caught it, thank god. I sped towards the goal posts at top speed. I launched the Quaffle towards the right goal hoop, and Ron skillfully flew and saved it.
"Well at least now everyone knows you suck." Ron shouted.
"Shut the hell up Ron. You're such an ass." I yelled back.
Ron threw the Quaffle back to me harshly, and flipped me a not so nice finger gesture. I gritted my teeth, and flew back towards the middle of the pitch. I hurled the ball towards Colin, and he caught it. I quickly flew beneath him, and he threw it back to me. I caught it, and started speeding towards the posts. At the last second I threw it back to Colin, and he caught it and scored. I let out a yell, and flew over to Colin and hugged the hell out of him, without really realizing what I was doing. Well when I did realize, I flew away from him like a bat out of hell! We resumed our positions, and Colin threw the Quaffle towards me. I caught it, and started to fly towards the left goalpost. At the last moment I swerved and chucked it into the right one. I scored, and Ron cursed. Ass. From there on out, I did okay. I only dropped the Quaffle once more. After an hour of flying, I landed and collapsed onto the grass. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again Harry was staring down at me.
"Ginny! That was terrific! The beginning was a little shaky, but you ended great!"
"Thanks Harry." I said with a smile
"Oh sorry Gin. I've got to go, but we're posting the names tomorrow morning in the common room. So you'll see then."
"Alright Harry. I'm gonna head up. Thanks for giving me the chance."
With that I turned around and headed back to the castle. And now I'm sitting in my bed writing this. I'm so nervous for tomorrow morning. Even though Harry said that, I still don't think I did too awesome. I'm so scared! AH I'm gonna go nuts! What if there were like some amazing people who tried out after I left? What if I don't even stand a chance? What if Harry is laughing at my utter suckiness right now? Jesus, I am a weirdo. Calm down Gin. I think I just need to get some sleep and stop thinking about this. Goodnight.
A/N: Hope you liked this chapter! It was a little short once again, and I'm so sorry about that! But hopefully the next few chapters will be longer! Thanks to everyone for the support! Read and Review! Thanks! :)
