They held their breath as the names all flashed onto the screen. The only ones they paid attention to were the ones at the bottom:
Seeker: Harry Potter
Keeper: Ron Weasley
"We did it!" Harry shouted, thumping him on the back. Ron stood there, still as a statue. "Ron, we did it!" Harry repeated. His face cracked into a small silly grin at first, then a huge smile and started jumping up and down throwing punches in the air.
"We're on the Cannons and we're only a year out of Hogwarts!" Ron exclaimed. While Harry and Ron celebrated, Ginny and Hermione came down from the stands but they weren't alone. With them were all of the boys who had shared the Gryffindor boys' dormitory with them, and Oliver, Katie, Angelina and Alicia.
"Congrats!" Seamus said.
"Always knew you'd get on the team!" Oliver said. Whoops and hollers filled the air. Soon they returned to Godric's Hollow to celebrate and party with everyone else. Well, it wasn't much of a party, they all ate and sat around to talk about what they had done since Hogwarts. Neville had become an Auror, Dean and Seamus was also working in the Ministry in the Department of Magical Games and Sports. And Oliver was Keeper for the Puddlemere United Quidditch team. At last it grew dark and everyone left, leaving the four to go to bed.
Harry and Ginny's birthday's started to creep up as July was starting to end and August was slowly making it's way in. Practices were every other day and the first game was August twentieth but everyday they were training like the next day was the game. Sometimes they were gone from noontime to almost midnight, and Harry and Ron were exhausted. Mrs. Weasley had volunteered to arrange Harry and Ginny's birthday. They had decided to do it on August tenth, the eve before Ginny's actual birthday. Birthday shopping for Harry was done when Harry was out at practice, but Harry and Ron had to find time to birthday shop; for Ron shopping for Harry's gift and Ginny's present, for Harry, just shopping for Ginny. Hermione had become Harry's official birthday gift consultant. One day he had come back from shopping with a small box.
"Hey, Hermione," Harry said, making sure Ginny wasn't around to hear or see.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Look what I got Ginny…What do you think?" he asked. He opened the box and a small silver chain was presented with a small silver heart with a clasp on it indicating it was a locket. Hermione took it and admired it, and opened it. On the inside was a picture of Harry's arms wrapped around Ginny and they were both laughing and grinning. The other side displayed a picture that was almost similar but Hermione noticed the man in the picture didn't have a lightning bolt scar, it was James and Lily.
"It's—It's beautiful, Harry!" she stammered. "Ginny will absolutely love it!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Good, I plan to give it to her on her birthday, maybe in the evening, the rest I'll give to her at the party," Harry explained. He went back upstairs to change for Quidditch practice.
The day of the party arrived, and Mrs. Weasley was hastily running around the house cleaning and dusting with a swift wave of her wand, decorating to setting out food and putting up party streamers. They all tried to help her but she just kept saying that they were doing things wrong and getting in her way so they all decided to get out of the house. Harry and Ron took Hermione and Ginny to the Quidditch pitch where they played and practiced. Practice wasn't that day, so it was empty. Hermione and Ginny used some borrowed brooms from the broom shed at the stadium. They got the magical balls out of the shed also. First round of games they played was where they played with only the Quaffle and they were two-on-two, Ron and Hermione and Harry and Ginny, since it was fairer. They had someone to block the goals and one to make the goals. Harry and Ron were the ones who were scoring and Hermione and Ginny were the ones blocking. The first round Harry and Ginny (which they called them selves team Potter-Weasley and Ron and Hermione's team was Weasley-Granger) won.
"And, victory for team Potter-Weasley!" Ginny said imitating a sports caster and Harry mocked a large, cheering crowd.
"Hermione!" Ron yelled, "You could have easily blocked that!" he shouted.
"I'm sorry, I was distracted by…something…" she blushed.
"Do I need to remove this distraction?" Ron asked sternly.
"No! No, you can't really remove it…unless you want to lose…" she went brick red. Ron just looked at her confused and turned back to the celebrating team at the end of the pitch.
"I call rematch!" Ron shouted at them. They played till sunset until Harry looked down at his watch and he almost felt his eyes popping out of his head.
"You guys were gonna be late for the party!" Harry yelled at them. They hurriedly put the brooms and balls back and Apparated.
"There you are! You were going to be late to your own party! And look your all sweaty and filthy!" she said, her hair was all frizzy and looked like she was going to explode into a million pieces. She ordered them to go take showers, and they all headed to their rooms and quickly took showers and dried off. Harry and Ron were done real quickly, but of course Ginny and Hermione took longer. It was almost time for guests to start arriving when they finally came down. Hermione's hair was straightened and was wearing a light blue tee shirt with a knee length black skirt, and Ginny wore a light pink tank top with a smaller black skirt with rhinestones on it. Harry had to stop himself from staring at Ginny and Ron had to shut his mouth at the sight of Hermione, and almost looked like he was going to pass out at any second. The doorbell rang right on cue to break the awkward silence. The rest of the Weasley's appeared on the front door, and they came in and set their stuff down. For the next half an hour the doorbell rang on and off. Next was most of the Order, then some people from school. The last person was Luna Lovegood. Harry had opened the door and Luna's dreamy, far-away voice said, "Why hello, Harry." She looked like she had turned up there on accident, but no, that couldn't be a correct theory; she had two presents for him and Ginny. They joined the party again, where everyone else was. Everyone was eating and drinking, and for some students that went to school with Harry, it was like a reunion. Music played, people talked, people danced, people ate. Harry was completely entertained and was the happiest he could have ever been. Lately every day seemed to be getting better and better, but this had to be the best of all. He couldn't think of a moment he hadn't been grinning so much he felt his face would come off. They ate cake and cookies and ice cream and a variety of different candies from Honeydukes that Mrs. Weasley provided, until they felt like they would burst. Then Harry and Ginny opened their presents, and by the time Harry and Ginny had opened everything the floor was filled with tissue paper and wrapping paper. The last person left at around 12:30 a.m. and they were exhausted. Harry and Ginny were both so tired they both fell asleep in each other's arms on the couch. Ron and Hermione agreed not to wake them to put them in right bedrooms. All of them fell asleep that night, with smiles on their faces and pleasant, happy dreams in their heads.
