A/N: Hope you liked this chapter! It was a little short one 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! :)
A/N: Holy crap. I start school tomorrow. I'm so not excited. It is so stupid that down here in Atlanta we have to start school so early. I loathe it with the passion of a thousand burning suns.:) But enough about school. Thanks so much to all you reviewers! Everytime I see a new review, I can't help but smile. You guys are the thing that keeps me going!
lizzie5555555: I'm glad you like this chapter! Hmmm you shall see if Ginny makes the Quidditch team. :)
blink gurl017: Haha I had to make her score. That would completely suck if she didn't. I didn't want to make her that depressed. And I don't want anyone to hate me. Lol hope you like the update!
Dan-Radcliffes-Girl: I'm so glad you like it! And thank you for the compliment on my writing! :)
Lauren: Yay! I'm glad! Here's the update! Enjoy!
OExpecto PatronumO: Ginny is a bit of a worrywart isn't she? Lol Haha that's a pretty good description of the story. Lol
Future Mrs. Radcliffe: Haha Yay!
Black Cherrie: Ron is an enormous moron. Hopefully he'll shape up soon. J I hope you like this chapter!
Maraudergrl99: You will find out in this chapter if Ginny makes the team! Hope you like how it turns out! Haha I probably would have done the same thing. Thrown the Quaffle at his head as hard as I could. Although I probably would have been the person doing the flicking off. Insert evil grin lol I have such a bad temper too! It's one of my more endearing traits. Lol Oh man if you do like Jake Gyllenhall, just watch Donnie Darko and you will see what I mean. Lol Haha I am so used to the cold. Everyone here in Georgia is like oh my gosh it's so cold, and it's like 55 degrees lol. The schools here close down when we have like a centimeter of snow. Which is cool. Lol But I'm used to like blizzards. Ah I love it. Lol but enough of my constant rambling about snow. I could go on for hours about it. Lol I don't really like hip hop either. I actually posted that list of bands that I like on my profile now. There's so many, but that's not even all of them. I'm completely music obsessed. Lol Aw artsy stuff is cool. Lol I love little kids. But I think if I was a teacher, I'd lose my temper way too easy and all the kids would hate me. Lol. Haha yeah the roller coasters. I hate them so much! I'm terrified of them. Dude I love Disneyland and Disneyworld! I would love to be able to say that I was going to go eat dinner there. Lol Now that I've rambled on for hours, I just want to say thanks for your long reviews! You're one of the only ones who do that, and I really appreciate it! I know I've said that like a million times before…but it's true! Lol
Alexandra5: Yeah that last chapter was short; I don't think this one is as short. At least I hope not. Lol The Harry/Ginny action will come soon. Lol I hope when it does, you enjoy it! :)
ElizabethMM: I'm sorry that you've had bad experiences with sports. That does suck. I'm not an enormous sports fan either, but I just really like the sound of Quidditch. You have to admit that I'd be pretty fun to be able to fly around on a broom. Lol But I hope you like this chapter better, and thanks for the review!
Darkflower2113: Thank you Sede! I'm glad that you thought the trials were realistic, because I was really worried about that. So that gives me reassurance. Yay! Lol
Ginevra Potter: Thanks so much! And thank you for the wishes of luck! :)
Irishdancer61790: Yay! I'm glad you liked the last 2 chapters! My computer is always acting up. That's why I can't update when I want sometimes. And thank you so much for the compliment on my writing style! And I'm so glad you liked my one shot. I'm just happy! Lol

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.
Chapter Fifteen: Excitement and EmbarrassmentSeptember 20th 2004, 9:32 am
I can't do it. I can't go down there. The walk down the stairs to the common room is going to be the longest one I have ever experienced. But I must. So here I go.
A few minutes laterWell I don't know what to say. So I'll just say it. I MADE THE QUIDDITCH TEAM! Oh my God I'm freaking out! I went into like a spastic jig downstairs when I saw my name on the sheet. I can't even believe it! I can't wait to rub it into Ron's face! I don't care if it's immature, because I'm going to do it! I haven't seen Harry yet but there's no telling what will happen when I do. I'll probably knock him over with the force of my hug. I'm going to get to spend even more time with Harry now! But don't get me wrong. That's not my only reason for trying out for Quidditch. I've wanted to be on the team ever since I can remember. And now I finally can! I can't wait to tell Hermione! Holy crap I'm hyperventilating. Breathe. Hee hoo. Okay I think I'm a little better now. I think I'll go down to breakfast. I'm starving.
11:37 am
Breakfast was simply magnificent! Well not really, but it was good. I saw Harry. That was interesting.
I spotted Harry as I was walking into the Great Hall. He looked up with those amazing eyes of his and smiled. Then he proceeded to get up and walk over to me. I was standing outside the doors, and I was freaking out. The only thing flashing through my mind was what in the bloody hell am I going to do to him? Harry was suddenly standing right next to me. Of course I freaked.
"Harry! Oh my god! Thank you so much!" I cried while jumping on him.
Harry laughed and put me down gently. I realized what I had done, and blushed like a maniac.
"You deserved it Gin. You were the best one who tried out."
I jumped up and hugged him again while giving him a kiss on the cheek. He laughed, and put me down. Well all I can say is damn. Why didn't he just let me stay in his arms? He is so thick sometimes.
"You're going to be a really good Chaser Gin. I'm so happy that you were good enough to make the team." Harry said with a laugh
"Me too Harry." I said with a smile
"And now we'll get to spend even more time together." Harry said with a grin. I almost fainted, because I was thinking the same exact thing.
"Once again Harry thanks so much!" I said with a squeal.
And then I did something that I most definitely plan on doing. I hugged him again, and then I KISSED HIM! Oh my god. It was just for a second, but I thought I was going to melt into the ground. I was so worked up about making the team that I kissed him on the lips without thinking! Jesus! If I can't even hold back just finding out that I made the team, what am I going to do when we win a game? So I kissed him quickly and then realizing what I had done, pulled away. Harry looked like he had been at the beach all day without wearing sunscreen. That's how red he was. But I was so embarrassed. So I had to cover up my mistake.
"Oh god Harry! I'm so sorry. I guess I just got a little overexcited about making Quidditch." I said blushing the same color red that Harry was sporting on his face.
"It's okay Ginny." He said with an impish grin.
"I think I'd better go. Bye." I said quickly, while speeding off in the other direction.
I turned around and saw Harry standing there still the same color red. But he was smiling. At least he wasn't completely disgusted or anything. I thought he might have been gagging himself or something. I can't believe I did that! How stupid can I be? I hope he bought my lie. I don't know what I would do if he didn't. I think I'd hide in my room for the rest of my life. I could get Dobby to bring me food from the kitchens. Yeah, that sounds like a plan. I'd just skip all my classes and flunk out of Hogwarts. Okay maybe that isn't such a good idea. Christ! I just remembered! I have to send a letter to Mum.
2:30 pm
So I wrote the letter. It read…
Dear Mum,
How are things going at the Burrow? Things are well here. I have a big announcement. I made the Quidditch team! I'm the new Chaser. Harry told me that I was the best one who tried out! Isn't that great Mum? Schoolwork is going well. Although Potions is never a picnic. Remind me again why I have to be nice to Snape? Because I don't think it works for me to be polite to him, if he isn't to me. But oh well. Oh! I almost forgot to tell you. Do you know what your son Ronald said to me? He called me a… whore. And said that I should stop hanging all over Harry. Which I am not by the way. I'm so over that. Yeah. And he said quite a few choice words to me. If you know what I mean. Well I'll talk to you alter Mum. I love you.
Ginny
So that's the letter. Now all I have to do is wait for Mum to write back. I hope she lets Ron have it. I honestly do. And all right I might have stretched the truth about Harry a bit. I am NOT over that. Not even close. I am completely on it. If that makes any sense whatsoever. I don't know why in the bloody hell I can't just get over him! He's obviously too shy to make a move. And I certainly don't want to make the first real move. What if he rejected me? I don't think I could handle that. No, that wouldn't be good. Why does everything have to be so damn complicated?
8:30 pm
I think that I am going to curl up and die. Why am I so utterly cursed? It doesn't seem quite fair. You're probably wondering what I'm going on about. Let me explain.
I was sitting up in my dormitory extremely bored. So I decided to experiment with some spells to alter physical appearance. I decided that I wanted to dye my hair. So I tried turning my hair chocolate brown. But somehow it came out hot pink. HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU GET HOT PINK FROM CHOCOLATE BROWN? I am completely and utterly confused at how that happened. Needless to say, when I looked in the mirror I was in shock. My mouth was hanging open like a fish. So I tried to change it back. IT WOULDN'T CHANGE BACK! Why oh why? My skin tone is already pink enough. Why do I need hot pink hair on top of it? So then I figured that I'd get Hermione to change it back. So I decided to try some spells for clothing. Bad Idea. I was aiming for a cute black skirt and white tank top. Oh wow. That's not what came out. What appeared on my body was a little black dress. And when I say little, I mean little. And I bet you can guess what happens next. That wouldn't change back either! So I just figured that I'd stay up in the dormitories until Hermione got back. But I was getting so bored in my dormitory. So I figured since everyone was at dinner that I could go downstairs and read by the fire. Alone. But noooo. That didn't turn out either. Because the moment I descended the stairs, every single person in Gryffindor screamed my name. They had planned a surprise. To congratulate me on my making Chaser. I wanted to disintegrate into dust on the spot. I looked like a complete idiot! With my pink hair, and little black dress. Not to mention that my hair looked really crap because I'd been lying on it. So I reached the bottom of the stairs, and everyone rushed over to congratulate me. Only then do they realize that I look completely messed up. People start laughing, and the standard question was, what the hell happened to you? Jesus, I wanted to throw a fit. But then I spotted Harry. He was standing off in a corner staring at me. Probably thinking about how ugly and weird that I looked. So I walked over to him.
"Hey Harry." I said
"Hey Gin. Nice look." He said with a laugh
"Shut up Harry. I was just doing some spells, and they didn't turn out the way that I wanted them to." I said with a stern expression on my face.
"Well I do think I fancy that black dress quite a bit." Harry said with a smirk.
"Harry!" I said while hitting him on the arm.
"I'm serious. Even with pink hair you still manage to look good." Harry said with a blush creeping up his neck.
"Thanks Harry." I said with a chuckle.
"Come with me to talk to a few people." I said
"Sure Gin."
So we started to walk over to a few of my friends. Well, there was a table with an enormous cake in my path. And of course I tripped over the leg. I DID I FACE PLANT INTO THE BLOODY CAKE! How much more humiliating can you get? I can't even describe it. Everyone was laughing and I just wanted to cry. So I ran up the stairs as fast as I could. I got cleaned up, and now I'm sitting here. I hear someone calling my name. I suppose I'll have to go back down to the party. Hopefully it won't be too disastrous.
