Two weeks later Jenny still hadn't spoken to anyone about her feelings. The more she thought about it the more confused she got and she hadn't been able to get Hermione on her own recently. She was always hanging around the other seventh years, particularly Ron or Lavender. She was walking to the great hall after Charms with Luna and Ginny when she was stopped by Draco Malfoy, for once he didn't have his cronies Crabbe and Goyle with him. Pansy was a little bit behind him talking to some other Slytherin girls.

"What do you want?" Jenny asked coldly. Malfoy looked at Jenny.

"Gryffindor Quidditch team is allowed to play. You're the captain but only because you're cute and the powers seem to like that." Malfoy said.

"Aren't you going out with Pansy?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah but it doesn't stop me from thinking others are cute" Malfoy said. Jenny looked at Ginny slightly surprised at Malfoy's comment. "Well, you have to find a new seeker and a new chaser. Your first match is against Hufflepuff in two weeks time."

"What!" Jenny shouted.

"Keep your voice down Marsden. Your first match is in two weeks time, you got to find a seeker and a chaser and you're the captain." Malfoy leaned in, "Good luck." Malfoy walked off to Pansy and took her to the great hall. Ginny turned to Jenny.

"We get to play Quidditch again!" Ginny said happily. Jenny couldn't help smiling about it.

"And I'm the Captain." Jenny said with a smile. "Come on, lets go and tell the others."

"I'll be supporting you by the way." Luna said as she followed Jenny and Ginny to the hall. Jenny gathered together the remaining quidditch team and told them the news.

"Brilliant!" Ron said, "We're going to win this year again."

"You still need a chaser and a seeker." Hermione put in. Hermione had joined in the conversation and had given Jenny a hug as a congratulation thing.

"Do you think that Emma girl can do anything?" Andrew Kirke asked.

"I don't know, I'll ask but we still need to find a chaser."

"I'll put up a notice in the Gryffindor Common room later." Jenny said, "Try outs tomorrow. We have to practice a lot."

"What are you talking about?" asked Rookwood. Deatheaters often patrolled the great hall to make sure no one was causing any trouble.

"Quidditch." Ginny said quickly. She turned to the others. "Who do you think can make a good seeker, we need someone small."

"Har-" Jack Sloper started to say but remembered the rule about mentioning Harry's name. "Our last seeker wasn't that small." Jenny gave a slight frown at the slightest mention of Harry.

"No, he wasn't" Jenny said. Ginny looked at Jenny and gave her a smirk. Rookwood, obviously satisfied that they weren't planning on overthrowing Voldemort walked on.

"I bet he wasn't" Ginny said. Jenny gave her a sharp look, Ginny hadn't let Jenny live out the fact that she'd nearly slept with Harry. It wasn't really anything very important but Ginny seemed to make a big deal out of it.

"Do you fancy my boyfriend or something?" Jenny asked, "You keep mentioning that kind of thing."

"No, Harry's all yours, it's just funny." Ginny said.

"How's it funny?" Jenny asked.

"Well you know you and Harry in- ow!" Ginny had just been hit by Jenny and Jenny had left the table and was storming out of the great hall.

"Is there something wrong with her?" Jack asked.

"Obviously." Ginny said slightly annoyed. She rubbed her arm where a bruise was beginning to form.

Jenny stormed towards the Gryffindor tower when she bumped into Emma. making her drop her things on the floor.

"Oh, sorry." Jenny said. "I'll help you with that."

"Don't worry." Emma flicked her wand and her bag repaired itself and everything went back into the bag. Emma picked up her bag and put it over her shoulder. "What do you want Marsden?"

"I was wondering if you can play Quidditch, being related to Harry I reckon you must be quite good, because James Potter was a really good quidditch player and Har-"

"I'm not a Potter" Emma interrupted coldly but it sounded like she was trying to convince herself rather then Jenny. Jenny sighed.

"Fine, being related to Malfoy you must be quite good because as much as I hate him he is a skilled quidditch player."

"I can play Quidditch" Emma answered,

"What position do you play?" Jenny asked eagerly.

"I can play Chaser and Seeker but at Durmstrang I was a Seeker." Emma said.

"Great." Jenny said with a slight smile, "Do you want to be our seeker? We've lost our seeker." Emma frowned.

"I'd be playing for Gryffindor?" Jenny nodded, "I don't think Father would like it."

"Stuff your father, I don't listen to my father." Jenny said. Emma looked at Jenny slowly began to nod,

"Ok, but I need a good broom."

"I can try and get Harry's Firebolt for you." Jenny said.

"He has a Firebolt?" Emma asked in awe.

"Yeah," Jenny said "I have a Nimbus three thousand. Maybe borrow Malfoy's-"

"Draco lost his broom. He doesn't know where it is." Emma said.

"Oh yeah." Jenny said, remembering that it was perched next to Harry's broom at Grimmauld place. "Well, can't you get a broom, borrow one of the Slytherin's. I mean you seem to get along with them quite well."

"Only because my brother is their leader." Emma said.

"Work on that angle, first practice is tomorrow, it's try outs then a proper practice."

"Who made you captain?" Emma asked.

"Your brother" Jenny said heading back to the common room.

Jenny looked at the few people who had turned up to the Quidditch tryouts. Dean Thomas, Colin Creevy and a few second and third years for Chaser and Emma had agreed to try out for both positions but she sat on the benches looking down at their attempts. No one had applied to be seeker except Emma.

"Ok, for the Chaser try outs we, Ginny and I, will pass the Quaffle to you and we have to try and pass as quickly as you can to me or Ginny then you have to try and get a goal past Ron." Jenny said pointing to Ron.

"But he's really good." Complained a second year.

"Well, so are the keepers for the other teams. Gryffindor has the best team and we will continue to have the best team, we've won the cup almost every year." Ginny said. "So if you don't think you can get a goal past my brother you might as well drop out now." The second year grumbled something but stayed where he was. Ron was beaming that someone thought he was good.

"Ok, Dean we'll try you first." Jenny said. She picked up the quaffle and passed it to Ginny, who was just taking off. Ginny caught it and decided to show off slightly by throwing the quaffle into the air and hitting it with her broom tail. Fortunately Ron got to the goal hoops in time.

"Andrew, Jack you can get on with the Bludger practicing." Jenny said. They nodded and released a bludger. Ginny and Jenny tested every person who had applied for the Chaser position. Jenny frowned as none of them were particularly good. Dean was quite good but he'd be leaving next year and Jenny would have to replace him again. He would have to do if she couldn't find anyone else. At least Dean had managed to get a goal against Ron.

"Emma do you want to have a go now?" Jenny asked. Emma nodded and got onto the nimbus two thousand and one broom which she had borrowed off Crabbe. She flew into the air with ease and hovered next to Jenny.

"What do I do?" She asked.

"Pass as quickly as you can and then score a goal." Jenny said.

"Easy." Emma said looking at Ron.

"Ginny!" Jenny called. Ginny came shooting forwards from collecting the Quaffle that Colin Creevy had thrown all the way down the pitch.

"Ready." Ginny said.

"Go" Jenny said. The three passed to each other so quickly that Ron was getting incredibly confused but just managed to keep an eye on roughly where the Quaffle was. When Emma got the quaffle back she threw it at the goal hoop that Ron was blocking then suddenly changed to the one to his right and scored a goal.

"That was amazing" Ron said. Emma gave him a smile that showed him that she knew that.

"Ok, snitch this time. How quickly can you catch it?" Jenny said pulling the snitch out of her pocket.

"Let it go." Emma said. Jenny did and the gold snitch flew into the air. Ginny watched it for a while before turning back to the quaffle and started to lazily try and get a goal past her brother. Jenny watched Emma. Emma flew around for about five minutes before going into a dive and catching the snitch. Jenny frowned and then looked at the Chaser applicants. She flew down and got off her broom.

"I'm really sorry but Dean, you got the position. The rest of you were really good but Dean was the only one who scored a goal. There's still next year." The others left the pitch grumbling that they didn't want to be on the team anyway. Emma landed next to Jenny with a bit too much speed but she kept her balance.

"So?" Emma asked.

"You're seeker, Dean is Chaser. You keep practicing. Dean, Ginny and I will teach you some of our tricks,"

"As long as they're easy." Dean said.

"We'll teach you the easier ones." Jenny said. Dean grinned and followed Jenny back into the air while Emma released the snitch again.

Harry,

How are you doing? Gryffindor are finally allowed to play quidditch though Jenny is the captain of the team, which is a bit unfair because I've been in the school and the team longer then her. It doesn't matter though, she's doing really well as Captain. We've managed to find a few replacements. Dean makes a fair Chaser and your darling sister, Emma, is the seeker. We know she won't let us down because she's sworn that she'll do her best and Malfoy told Ginny that he'd make sure she didn't mess around.

Jenny's been really weird recently whenever we mention your name, do you know what's happening? Are things between you two alright? It would be great if you could maybe sneak over to watch the Quidditch. It's a week this Saturday.

Best wishes

Ron

Harry stared at the letter. What were they doing making Emma the Seeker! What was this about Jenny? He thought things between them were fine, no problems or anything. Her letters always gave the impression that she was quite happy, even though she did hint at a few problems with the Slytherins. Harry folded up the letter and turned to Padma, who was the only person staying with him now. April was out on some diplomatic mission to America so Harry had a week off. Sirius had gone with April and Remus was busy trying to contact all the members of the order but it was difficult to track them down as most had gone into hiding.

"Padma, do you fancy going to go see Hufflepuff versus Gryffindor?" Harry asked her. Padma looked up. She was studying for a Potions exam she had the next week.

"Not really. When is it?" Padma asked

"Erm…a week on Saturday."

"I think Pavarti's got that day off. Ask her." Padma asked.

"Could you ask her for me?" Harry asked.

"Sure." Padma turned back to her potions and started reading the various potions again. Harry knew he should really start doing some studying but he just couldn't be bothered to get his books and get down to studying but spending all his days watching Padma studying was making him feel guilty. Harry got up and headed up the stairs. He stopped for a few moments to look at his parent's picture before carrying on up the stairs to his room. He opened up the curtains and looked outside. The sun was setting even though it was only four thirty in the afternoon. It would be the Christmas holidays soon and his friends would finally be able to come home. Harry smiled at the thought of seeing his friends again, he missed them a lot.

The auror training plus pretending to be April was incredibly difficult. He couldn't just take the piss out of April but he had to act exactly like her when in her form. Harry sighed and looked at his broom. He also desperately wanted to fly as well. He loved flying and having the air flow through his hair and hitting his face. Harry decided he would go and watch the quidditch match, whether Pavarti was going to come or not but she probably would come. Harry smiled as he thought of Jenny again, why was she acting weird? Harry would have to talk to her next time he saw her, or maybe he could get Hermione to speak to her for him because he couldn't see her. Harry decided he'd get Hermione to try and find out what was wrong and sort it out next time he saw Jenny.
