Night Time Chapter 8

Mr. and Mrs. Cannons' Captain?
By special correspondent Padma Patil

Quidditch fans were in an uproar Saturday. Both out of joy and anger. The joy was that their beloved (And newly resurrected) Cannons won their match. Promising their spot in the running for the cup. Cries of anger were heard when Falcon's Kalamar, shot a well aimed, after game bludger in a Cannon's direction. This Cannon player? Ginny Weasley.

Weasley took the bludger to the back of the head. Captain Harry Potter to the rescue once again. As Weasley fell, Potter dove. Potter managed to play hero again when he caught Weasley and hit the ground first.

Both players were unconscious by the time the Prophet arrived. The two were taken to St. Mungos for healing. Cannon's fans will be pleased to know the two will fully recover.

On a more interesting note, Prophet correspondents arrived at Mungos to be greeted by Weasley's family and the Cannons team members. What they found was a still unconscious Potter and Weasley. While questioning several on the star's status, our Prophet members were shocked to learn a secret kept by Potter and Weasley. Or should we say Potter and Potter?

Could this be true? Could our beloved boy who lived and wonder girl is married? Our sources say yes. Our question is why? Why keep it a secret? If true what other secrets could our wonder couple be keeping?

Harry groaned and brought his good hand up to his head to massage his eyes. "Damn them. Stupid sons of…"

Ginny cut him off, "How can we fix this?"

"Well first off, I'm going to hex Padma. And then I don't know. If he hears this there won't be anything we can do to make him believe otherwise. There's nothing we can do. We'll just have to take what comes."

"Accio." Ginny spoke and parchment, ink and a quill shot to them. Ginny then began writing, "Alpha, How to deal? Read and reply." Following this simple message she scribbled a symbol then roll, then rolled the parchment up.

"Hedwig!" Harry called. Hedwig swooped up to perch on the table in front of them.

"I know you hate it Hed. But we have to do it again." Ginny explained and waved her hand over Hedwig. Hedwig's snowy white feathers began to fade, getting darker until they were black.

"Okay Hedwig we need this taken to Alpha, okay?" Harry instructed, rubbing the owl's head as Ginny attached the letter to her leg. Hedwig hooted and took off.

Once the two were again settled in the hammock, a crash came from inside the flat. "OUCH! BLOODY HELL!"

Harry hung his head, clutching his still sore shoulder as he shook with laughter. "Damn it you two! What's with leaving this shit all over the flat!"

Ginny laughed and countered, "Ron! It sounds like you just landed on our coffee table! We can't very well just leave it lying around you know!"

A disheveled Ron appeared in the doorway. "Did you fix it?" Ginny asked. He only nodded.

"Have you read today's paper? Padma should be shot! She should have kept her mouth shut…Are you going to deny it?"

"What use would it be to deny it? It won't matter now."

"What do you mean?"

"The whole reason we kept quiet…even if we deny it now, the idea that we might be will still cause the problem."

"So then are you going to announce that you are?"

Harry held his right hand over Ginny's left hand while she did the same to his. Once they dropped their hands, there were white gold rings on their left ring fingers.

"Well…now we won't have to keep it a secret." Ginny offered. Harry smiled grimly.

Ron interrupted, "Are you going to tell me why you had to keep it a secret?"

Both shook their heads. "You'll find out soon." Ron glared at his sister as she said this.

"I have to get back to Hermione. By the way I guess you two are okay?"

"We will be. Tell Mione we said hi." Ron nodded and was gone.

"When do you think they will be called…You know they will be."

Harry nodded as he magicked a blanket for them, "He will call them soon. Now I'm sure of it. But at least you can be known now."

The two settled down comfortably. Ginny spoke as she rested her head on Harry's uninjured shoulder. "Yes. Well for that little treat I'm sure we'll have hell to pay. And what do you mean 'known?' I'm just as well known as you Mr. Potter."

Harry smirked, "Yes well now you will be know for who you are. Now Lee will have the same problems announcing with us that he had in Hogwarts having you, Ron, Fred and George. Now there are two Potter's to contend with.

The two stayed where they were for several hours. Neither noticed when the sun come up, they were both asleep.
