The heat wave continued, much to some of the student's dismay. Ginny and Harry entered the Great Hall, for breakfast, many heads turned their way – well more than usual, anyway. They spotted Hermione and sat down next to her.

'So why is everyone staring at us,' Harry asked Hermione.

'What more than usual do you mean?' asked Hermione. Harry just looked at her with a raised eyebrow. 'Well it probably has something to do with this.'

Hermione passed Ginny the Witch Weekly. On the cover of the newspaper were two pictures. One of the pictures was of Harry and Ginny, when they were at the carnival. The picture showed them walking slowly together, Harry was telling a joke and Ginny was laughing. The other picture was of the water fight when they were trying to pour the water over each other. Harry and Ginny were in their scarlet Quidditch robes. Harry had his back to the camera, his robes were sticking to his skin which, at a glance down the table, Ginny could already see Romilda Vane fanning herself over.

The article read:

What a Catch!

The Boy-who-lived has found his Chosen One, reports Henrietta Dashford, 29. Ginny Weasley (pictured above) is a sixth-year student and is one year younger than Harry Potter. The couple are regularly seen in each other's company.

Fred Weasley, Ginny's older brother, who runs Weasley's Wizardry Wheezes along with his identical twin brother refused to comment. Although his twin, George, added 'We're going to go and kick Harry's butt now – well try to anyway.'

Harry Potter is the captain and seeker of Gryffindor's Quidditch team. Ginny Weasley is a talented seeker and plays on Harry's team. Harry Potter is in his seventh and final year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry and he has been rumoured to, according to my source, have melted many girl's hearts. The pair have been described as the school's hottest couple. (Continues on page 4).

'Oh my gosh,' said Ginny, slowly.

'I don't know about you but I don't think I can read anymore,' said Harry, after he had finished reading the article. 'I mean, where do they get all this stuff from,' he added with a slight blush.

'Well according to this article, the writer has a source so that's how they have the information and that's probably how they got those pictures.' said Hermione. 'Journalists aren't allowed to enter the school grounds so someone has been feeding them information - but who?'

'Whoever it is I'm going to kill them,' muttered Harry.

'Well at least they didn't write anything horrible,' said Hermione, shrugging.

'Nothing horrible? My brothers are going to kill me!' moaned Ginny, putting her head down into her arms.

'Don't worry 'bout it. Since when did you care anyway?' asked Harry.

'You're right; I mean what can they do?'

'Ginny, the twins like Harry so they won't do anything,' said Hermione, smiling.

Ginny was about to retort but a shadow formed over her, she looked behind her to reveal Seamus standing there. 'You guys, we're going to have another water fight because it's too bloody hot! You guys in?' asked the Irish boy.

'Most definitely,' said Ginny, grinning.

'Good. Well it's going to be at lunchtime.'

'OK,' said Harry, Seamus walked off. 'Wait up actually, Seamus; I'll walk with you to Charms.' Harry scrambled after the boy.

At last after what seemed like forever, lunchtime came. Ginny and Harry went into the Great Hall for a quick lunch both of them carrying large water bottles.

'What are you doing?' asked Harry, when Ginny poured some of her pumpkin juice into her bottle.

'I'm spiking my water so that when we have our fight everyone will stink of pumpkin juice. Yes, I think that is enough,' said Ginny, putting down the goblet. 'Anymore and the water will change colour.'

They wolfed down their food and quickly walked out of the Great Hall and to the Quidditch pitch. 'Where is everyone?' asked Ginny, indicating to the deserted pitch.

'I don't know but they'll be here soon,' said Harry, shrugging. Ginny looked at him questionably. 'Well,' continued Harry, 'since when does Seamus miss out on water fights?'

Ginny laughed. 'That's true but in the meantime what am I supposed to do with this.' Ginny chucked her water over Harry.

Harry spluttered. 'You are so going down for that!' He grabbed her in a kind of body-lock.

'Harry! Get off!' cried Ginny, slightly grinning. She was trapped and couldn't move. Water poured down her neck and over her head. 'Harry! I'm going to kill you!'

'I'd like to see you try … whoa!' he cried, as Ginny twisted her leg round his leg and they toppled on to each other. Ginny landed on top of him, and poured the entire contents over his head. 'That is sick. You are sick,' moaned Harry.

'Well we think you're both sick,' said another voice, an Irish voice, Seamus' voice. They looked at him and hands and pockets loaded with water bombs.

'Whoa censored,' cried Jake, who was approaching them. Seamus laughed. 'Whoa X-rated stuff!' They stood around them and Ron joined them.

'Unfair we're defenceless,' cried Ginny.

'ATTACK!' someone cried. Water bombs were pelted onto them. Harry pulled out his wand and shot a powerful jet of water at Seamus which knocked him over. He grabbed Ginny's hand and they ran for it. A water bomb hit Ginny but didn't burst. 'Oww,' she cried, Ginny picked it up and lobbed it at Ron, which hit him in the face. She snickered. Seamus was back on his feet and running after them. 'AFTER THEM!' he cried.

Harry grabbed her hand and together they ran.

The rest of the day went by far too slow for all of the students. Ginny looked around the classroom, everyone was sprawled on their seat and frequently glancing at the time. Most of the pupils had the sleeves of their shirts rolled up. The powerful sun seemed to be draining the life out of everyone. The windows of the classroom were thrown open in hope of a breeze but there was nothing.

Ginny received the occasional whiff of pumpkin juice; she turned around and looked at Harry. Ginny waved a hand over her nose; Harry grinned and mouthed the word 'Guilty.' Ginny covered her mouth with her hand to muffle her laughter.

Ginny looked at Professor Higgs, she seemed to have a distant look about her and her eyes were filled with … sadness? Higgs was droning on about how you can distinguish a Humosep wound from a common one. 'A long thin scar is normally left on the body with small spot like bumps surrounding it which are of a faint purple colour,' muttered Higgs.

The class didn't even seem to acknowledge what was being said but surprisingly Higgs didn't even notice. Slowly but surely the lesson reached its end. 'Next lesson we will be studying a completely different topic so be prepared for it,' cried Higgs, who seemed to spring back to life.

The class departed apart from Ginny who, after feeling her ear, realized she had lost an ear-ring. After a couple of minutes of searching, Ginny found it under the desk behind her. She hurried to the door what Higgs seemed to be waiting to lock. Ginny caught sight of her Professor's bracelet, it was thick solid gold which must have cost a bomb. 'I like your bracelet Professor,' complimented Ginny.

'Thanks. Mario bought it for me – you met him at the carnival remember?' she said sadly.

'Erm … yes,' Ginny noticed a ring on Higg's marriage finger. Oh, he must be her fiancé. What's wrong Professor?'

'Oh nothing, well … erm, Mario is missing and I'm rather worried! He's been missing for two days now. I mean I sent him an owl post a couple of days ago and it hasn't been … returned,' she said miserably, staring out into space.

Two days! Give the guy a break for crying out loud, thought Ginny. 'I'm sure he's fine, Professor.'

'Something's happened, I just know it,' muttered Higgs, putting her face into her hands. Ginny had a feeling the woman would start crying, not wanting to be around when that happened, the red head backed out of the room. 'I'm sure he's fine,' repeated Ginny.

As Ginny walked down the corridor, she heard two distinctive sobs.

In the evening, Ginny went onto the pitch to meet up with Harry. But for the second time that day it was deserted. Suddenly, from out of the blue someone grabbed her! She screamed in protest as soon as the hands started tickling her. Then there was a flash.

Harry suddenly stood up abruptly, letting go of Ginny. 'Petrifous totalous,' he cried, his wand pointing up at the stands. Ginny stood there confused. 'Come on,' he said, running up to the top of the stands, Ginny ran after him.

'Well well,' said Harry, 'what do we have here.'

Ginny looked down and was shocked to see who it was.

'I can explain,' the person said, with a camera in their hands.
