Chapter Four:

Ginny was due at the Quidditch Pits at 9:00, so she apparated there at 8:45. She went into the locker room and changed into her practice robes. Jen came in and smiled when she saw Ginny.

"Hey, we forgot to put this in your locker."

Ginny's eyes lit up. Jen handed her a brand new Firebolt 04. It was the fastest broom on the market.

"Thank you," Ginny said as Jen handed it to her.

"Everyone else will be here in a few minutes, so why don't you go take some laps?"

"Okay," she smiled as she walked out to the pitch.

Ginny mounted her broom and took off. 'Whoa' she thought, she had never been on such a great broom. As she flew around, she studied her surroundings. The layout was very similar to the Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch. The stands were wooden with red, white, and blue banners hanging on them. There was a picture of the Statue of Liberty on every other banner. She let it all sink in. Flying was one of her favorite things in the world. It was her escape when she needed it. 'How did I ever get this far?' she asked herself. Ginny never expected herself to become a professional Quidditch player; she always thought she would end up working as a nurse up at St. Mungo's, because she was very good in potions at Hogwarts. Actually, Ron had been the one who wanted to be the keeper for the Chudley Cannons. He ended up working for the Ministry, Hermione was training to be a doctor at St. Mungo's, and Harry was in Auror training. She snapped out of her streaming thoughts when she heard a whistle, and saw Jen motioning for her.

"Okay everyone, we're gonna do some drills. Ginny, a few of them are similar to drills you would do to practice basketball."

"Wait, what's basketball?" Ginny looked confusedly at everyone.

"They don't have it really in Britain, Jen," Draco mentioned.

"Oh, well it's a muggle sport that is very popular here. It's not that important, we'll demonstrate it, and then you try. Draco, stand in for Ginny right now."

Draco, Allison, Matt, Brad, and Jen took off. Jen took her position as keeper. The other four went to the other end of the pitch. Draco, Allison, and Matt got into a line of three. Brad was off to the side, holding Quaffle.

Lauren explained to Ginny what was going on as she watched them perform the weave. Brad passed the Quaffle to Allison, who was in the middle. Then she passed to Draco, and moved behind him. Draco passed it over to Matt, and flew behind him. Then Matt passed it over to Allison, and flew and took her spot as she passed the Quaffle to Draco. This repeated until Allison had the Quaffle and put it through the hoop, Jen narrowly missed it. Ginny took Draco's place, and did the exact same thing as she had seen only a few moments before. This time, she scored. For the rest of the day, the team did drills, and showed Ginny all the plays they had. After practice, Ginny changed out of her robes, and into sweats. She apparated home, and made herself a sandwich. She ate dinner quickly, looking forward to a long bubble bath because she was exhausted from her grueling work out. She opened the door to the bathroom and saw Draco standing there, getting into the shower.

"Oh my God!" Ginny exclaimed.

Draco turned around and yelled, "Weasley! Get the bloody hell out!"

Ginny quickly shut the door. She leaned against the door and blushed. She didn't see anything inappropriate because it went by too fast. She did notice, however, his ripped abs. 'What is wrong with me?' she thought as she found herself thinking about his muscular build.

While Ginny was waiting for the bathroom to be free, she decided to study some team plays. She took out the enchanted playbook Jen gave her and started to flip through it. An hour later, after she had memorized four plays, she finally got her bath. Once she had changed into her pj's, a deep pink tank top and black pajama bottoms, she did a quick spell to dry her hair. She looked at the clock; it was about 10:00. Her favorite show, Friends, was about to be on. She didn't care that they were reruns, they were always hilarious. Ginny didn't even know what a television was until she went to Hermione's house once during the summer after her 5th year. Hermione explained what it was to her, and she fell in love immediately. Ginny's parents could never afford one, so after Fred and George's shop was a success, she asked them for one for Christmas in her 6th year. Ginny was kind, and decided to keep it at the Burrow while she was in America, because her father loved it. Ginny grabbed a hair tie and put her hair up in a messy bun before going to the living room and plopping on the couch. She grabbed the remote, and flipped until she found the channel. The theme came on and Ginny started singing along.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
But ... I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'cause you're there for me too.

When the commercial came on, she got up to get something to drink. She turned around and saw Draco standing there with a smirk on his face. He was also in his sleepwear, blue and green boxers and a white wife beater. He looked hot.

"What?" Ginny asked, her eyes were fiery, trying to keep herself from staring.

"Nothin, Weasley. Make sure you knock next time, got it?"

"Malfoy, it wouldn't have happened if you locked the door."

"Whatever. Sweet dreams, Weasley," Draco said sarcastically, as he went back to his room.

Ginny got herself a glass of water and went back to watching T.V. She drifted to sleep with thoughts of what her first professional Quidditch game would be like.
