Mrs Weasley smiled at Harry as he walked down towards her

" Big Day Harry."

Harry nodded and his throat felt dry. " Does everyone know about this?"

" Not really dear. Well we all know and your team knows and their families know and your school friends know. But as I said , not really dear."

Harry tried to smile. He sat down and ate the breakfast placed before him. Ron sat down beside him. Victor has gone up to ask Ginny to play. I wished him luck. I doubt he will get very far."

Victor walked upstairs and knocked on the door. A timid voice told him to come in.

" Ah Mizz Ginny can I speak to you for a moment pleez?"

She nodded. " Jon isn't here today ...ah...Victor...he has gone into London to meet his parents. He isn't due back till the evening."

" It is you I wish to speak to Mizz Ginny. I dont know this Jon as well as I know you."

She nodded and told him to sit down. " Go on then."

" I want you to play in this quiddich match today."

She laughed. " I already told you I cant play quiddich."

He sighed. Hermione has told him exactly how confused Ginny had become. "Vell then is a good reason why you should play today. You may discover a talent for zis game."

She pondered on the thought. " I dont know Victor. Jon doesn't like me to get involved in activities without consulting him first."

Victor laughed. " It's only a game of Quiddich Ginny. Pleeez it vud be my honour to ave you playing vith me."

" Well " she smiled for the first time in ages. " Perhaps a break would be good. I havent felt so tired in all my life as I have this week."

Victor nodded. " Good Ginny. It is very good indeed."

Victor escorted Ginny downstairs and she went outside alone. He smiled at Ron and Harry. " Piece of cake Boys " and he walked outside with a drink.

Ron smiled at Victor and then scowled at Harry once he was gone. " How did he do that. I have got to learn this guy's tricks. They are bloody marvelous."

Harry nodded. " So Ginny's playing. I suppose thats good in a way."

Ron agreed. " Sure its and as long as Jon isn't around she can be herself. I cant believe I am saying this , but I am starting to miss the old Ginny."

" Where is Jon?"

" In London " replied Harry. " He's meeting his parents for the day."

" Good riddence " said Ron. " Curse the day they ever came into our lives."
