Ginny came across Hermione in front of the Three Broomstick, both were walking with fast strides.

"What? Hermione Granger was late for a meeting?"

"I was absorbed in work." Hermione who had been working for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures for three weeks now answered Ginny apologetically as if she had not been late as well and then gave her a once over as they entered the small pub. "How is it possible to look this good immediately after you have trained for hours?"

"Animal magnetism." Ginny said matter-of-factly and then grinned. "It's the clothes, I believe. I have been wrapping in fancy clothes for a month now. I wish the contract with Alden Clark continues on indefinitely."

"Could you sign me up as a Harpies' player?" They laughed and then heard a familiar voice calling out to them.

"Ginny! Hermione!" Iris Blythe waving to them from her booth where she was sitting with Marcus and Memphis at the very back of the pub. They made their way towards the group through the crowded pub. Hannah Abbott who was taking orders from some customers seated on a nearby table beamed at them and made a gesture with her hand that indicated she would be there in a second.

"Finally!" Memphis scolded at the girls as soon as they sat at their table.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I was talking with my boss about the S.P.E.W. and she loved it! You wouldn't believe the new ideas I –"

"Hermione!" Memphis said while putting one hand up. "If I'm going to listen you talking about Spew then I need to have my stomach full first."

"It's S.P.E.W." Hermione shot back but did not press on. Hannah came to their booth quickly after and took their orders as she made small talk. She left with a promise to get their orders prepared as soon as possible.

"So Iris, how is Ollivander?" Ginny asked Iris who started her new job as a wand-maker at Ollivanders.

"Grumpy." Iris said, grimacing. "And wand-making doesn't go very well either. I'm afraid I chose the wrong profession. Knew I should have joined the healers with Marcus."

Marcus' head shot up towards her. "You think being a healer is so great? If that were an option they wouldn't even let me walk on the same corridor as the patients. Not until my training is completed anyways which will continue for two more months."

"Well, at least you know how much time you have to spend as a trainee." Ginny said looking crestfallen. "Gwenog doesn't even look twice on my way."

"It will happen, Ginny. You have just started." Hermione said soothingly.

"Yeah! And you are one of the best chasers I have ever seen!" Iris declared as Memphis pointed a finger towards Ginny with a raised eyebrow while Malcolm said 'really?'. Ginny smacked them both on the arm - mocking with Ginny's talents as a chaser was something they had picked on at Hogwarts on their final year. A testament of the close friendship between them as they all started laughing in a second.

"Are you planning to do something Memphis?" Hermione asked as the laughter died down.

"Like what? Work in a job like commoners?" Memphis said with a smug expression. "I still have enough money to support myself without having to lift a finger, thank you very much."

Memphis Bloxham's parents were in Azkaban as they were known Death-eaters who had been actively supported Voldemort during the second war. One would think Memphis would be a supporter of Voldemort as well but he had fought along D.A. and Harry at the Battle of Hogwarts. Although whenever asked he said he had done it all for the money. A considerable amount of Bloxham family fortune had been seized by the Ministry after the war yet it turned out that Bloxham's still had more than enough to support a whole family for life. They had had properties under different names and since the Ministry had not been able to prove it they all left to Memphis now.

"Yeah we get it you are rich." Malcolm rolled his eyes and asked as Hannah lowered their plates of food onto their table. "Did anyone know what Luna is up to these days?"

After forty minutes Ginny checked her watch.

"I have got to go! Team meeting at 2." she stood up as Malcolm raised from his seat as well.

"I will come with you. I need to get back to St. Mungo's. See you guys!" They bid their farewells to the group that decided to sit just a bit more and walked towards the entrance of the pub where Malcolm pretended like flung the door open right into Ginny's face. She pushed the door back hard and he pulled her hair slightly. They managed to exit the pub without causing any injuries and started walking to apparetion point.

"So, how have you been – any attacks lately?" Malcolm asked her carefully, drawing a contrast with his earlier playful self. Ginny had had two panic attacks back at Hogwarts. The first had been the first night she'd returned back to Hogwarts after the war while the second had been when she'd had to serve a detention for Slughorn in the dungeons.

"I'm fine." She said in a low voice and Malcolm glanced at her. "Really. I didn't have any attack for four months now."

"Good good." Malcolm said awkwardly. As a future healer, he had been the one to take care of her health back then - aside from Madam Pomfrey, of course. He took a deep breath. "I guess it is only natural to have a few attacks after the Carrows."

"Let's not talk about the Carrows anymore." She said quickly not in the mood of discussing the Carrows. He changed the topic immediately. They continued joking and teasing each other as they kept getting closer to the apparetion point.

"I cannot believe you cried, Ron!" Ginny called out to Ron still laughing as she and Harry were walking behind him and Hermione.

"Shut it." he mumbled but did not say anything else as Hermione pressed her torso on his arm, hand holding his tightly. They had just been to a cinema to see a new movie in which the main actress died in the arms of her movie-boyfriend. It had been overwhelming for Ginny as well especially when the mournful music got mixed with the actor's soul-piercing wailings. However she'd forgotten about her own repressed tears when the lights had been back on and she had glanced at the others, only to find Ron crying with snots and all. Hermione, of course, thought it was sweet and sensible of him to empathize so much. She was showing how sweet she thought Ron was by continuously touching and kissing him ever since. Harry, on the other hand, were teasing Ron like Ginny starting from the very first time he had spotted Ron on the theatre. Yet, Ginny knew he had been just as affected as Ron was - That or he was trying to crush her fingers together with his iron grip on her hand.

"Oi Ginny!" Ron shot out to her suddenly as his head turned to look at her. "You still didn't give me tickets for the Cannons vs. Harpies match next week."

"Well since you have been busy for the last two matches of Harpies, I thought you couldn't make it to this one as well." Ginny looked at him innocently.

"I – uh… I cleared my schedule."

"And it's only because you want to support your sister and her team rather than it is a match of the Cannons, right dear brother?"

"What? Am I supposed to pretend like I'm supporting the Harpies against Cannons? You are not even playing – "but he trailed off by the look of Harry's face and Hermione's fingers digging on his hand.

A month ago when Ginny had been out for lunch with Hermione and others from Hogwarts, a reporter that had gone unseen by any of them had listened to all their conversations and had written an article about how Ginny was failing in her career and how the Harpies' management actually regretted signing her in. Ginny hadn't said anything about the article nor had she given any sign of sadness yet she increased the number of hours she spent on training and it wasn't a secret that she was frustrated by Gwenog who was giving her cold shoulder since the article had been published. Worst of all, Ginny was blaming herself for not being more careful about her surroundings when she had talked about her career.

"I will ask for extra tickets tomorrow at training." Ginny said, rolling her eyes more at Harry and Hermione's reactions than Ron's bluntness. Ron stopped on his tracks to give Ginny a playful kiss on the cheek. She elbowed him away but her lips were twitching upwards. Without noticing their walks back to the Grimmauld Place came to an end. Ron tapped his wand on the door handle which swung opened instantly.

"Would you like some tea?" Harry asked when they all got inside, taking a step towards the kitchen.

"Well – no. I'm really sleepy." Ron said looking at Hermione. She blushed and declined Harry's offer as well. They left with a quick good night and climbed up the stairs rather fast for someone who claimed to be sleepy. Harry caught Ginny's eyes and they shared amused looks which were mixed with a tiny bit of disgust.

"Would you like anything?" Harry asked.

"Just you." she said wrapping her arms around his middle and wiggled her eyebrows. He hugged her back burying his nose on her hair and whispered in her ear after kissing the spot below it "Stay."

"Okay." She said easily and he retreated back his head quickly to look at her.

"Really?"

"Sure, why not?" she shrugged.

"Uh… because your mum would kill us."

"If you were so afraid of me staying then why you asked me to?" she said raising one eyebrow.

"Because I didn't think you would actually say yes." He said and then grimaced, tightened his hold around her as she tried to take a step back from his arms.

"That... didn't come out right."

"You think?"
"It is not like I don't want you to Ginny! It's just… I mean… I don't want to disappoint your parents." He said with a sigh and she softened.

"Harry, they won't be disappointed because of this. I don't think it is possible for them to be disappointed in you ever actually. Besides – Mum already knows what we are doing on our alone time."

"What?!" Harry spluttered.

"She isn't blind you know." She rolled her eyes. "And she isn't stupid either. She didn't really believe you last week when you said the only reason you happened to be in Burrow at 6 in the morning was that you had had a dream about her treacle tarts." Harry was blushing furiously now and an affectionate smile broke on Ginny's face.

"Look, give me five minutes. I'll take care of it." she said and ran towards his fireplace without giving him a chance to get a hold of himself and asked what she would do. She Flooed in the middle of her parent's kitchen. The lights were off aside from one candle left lit on the table clearly by her mum so that she could see around when got back home. Ginny smiled before listening for any sounds. There seemed to be none of those either. Her parents had gone to bed already. Perfect.

She summoned a parchment and a quill from her bedroom and quickly scribbled a note for her mum, saying that she needed to leave early for training that morning. She knew her mum would not believe any of it but it was the thought that counted. Or in that case, it was the effort she put in not to rub that she was sleeping with her boyfriend in her mum's face.

Positioning the letter on the table so that her mum could see it easily, she blew the candle off. As she sprinted back to her parent's floo having only moonlight as a guide an idea struck her and she quickly took off her knickers, banishing them to her bedroom and stepped in the fireplace to Flooed back. She could not find Harry where she had left him minutes ago so she started climbing up the stairs, assuming he had gone to his room. Sure enough, when she opened up the door she found him on his bed, back rested against the headboard. He had been looking at the door expectantly as if he had heard her on the stairs.

"Have any extra room for me?"

He laughed and stretched out an arm towards her as an answer. She went to him without missing a beat and he wrapped his arm around her waist. Putting her hands on his shoulders to balance herself she threw a leg over his lap and straddled him on his bed.

"What did you do?" he asked as she settled herself comfortably.

"Left a note that said I had to leave for an early training."

"That's all?"

"Yeah. Don't worry it will be okay. Besides, I will be moving out in two weeks. She knows she won't be able to keep track on my comings and goings anymore." she said as she started playing with the collar of his jumper.

"When Ron sees you here –"He started but Ginny cut him off with a comment on what Ron could do if he were to act hypocritically. Harry chuckled.

"Okay, first what you have said is anatomically impossible, and second should I wash your mouth with soap?"

"What you should do is stop making excuses."

"I'm not making excuses." He said bewilderedly. "I don't really care if Ron sees you here. I was just stating a fact."

"Stop it then." She said capturing his lips with her own and snogged him as though she was trying to eat his mouth off. Needing to catch their breath after a long time they broke out.

"You know I guess I will send a thank you note to this Alden Clark." He said lips were swollen and fingers traced over the velvet fabric of her navy blue dress that Alden Clark had chosen for her to wear that night. She grinned.

"That good, eh?"

"Uh-huh." He replied as he placed his hands on her bare legs to slowly slide them up. The skirt of her dress glided over his hands like liquid.

"Good because I have a surprise for you." She said in a low voice.

"Oh yeah? And what is – Oh!" Reaching their destinations his hands discovered that she was completely bare underneath.

"You like it?" He licked his lips before answering.

"You know I'm not good with words" he lowered his back onto the sheets head resting on top of his pillow as he hiked her dress up even more. "So let me just show you how much I really like it."

The next morning she entered the kitchen only to find Ron sitting on the edge of his chair and practically hovering over Hermione while they were staring right into each other's eyes.

"Not over my breakfast, please." She said to them wrinkling her nose. They jumped apart clearly hadn't realized she came in the room and turned to look at her. Having noticed she was wearing Harry's clothes from head to toe Ron's eyebrows knitted together immediately and he gave her his best 'big brother' look.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you go back to home last night?"

"Do I look like I have been home?" She gestured up and down on her body pointing at the state of her clothes.

"W-what were you doing?

"Do you really want to know?" Ginny smiled wickedly and Ron screwed his face as though he just swallowed something sour. He grumbled under his breath but didn't say anything else. Ginny sat across them on the table and summoned herself a plate to place two pieces of toast on it.

"Good morning!" Harry entered the kitchen concurrently. His good spirit only made Ron's grimace to grow.

"Morning Harry." Hermione greeted back looking amused. They started to eat their breakfast and as they began to discuss quidditch Ron forgot why he had been pouting. They drank one last cup of tea as Ron tried to defend Cannons' performance had increased significantly which was total rubbish for Harry and Ginny. Ron looked at them with a horrified look because how dare they and kept continued to defend his favorite team hectically. They had to get up eventually because Hermione was getting late for her work.
They started climbing up the stairs to use the Floo although Ginny still had an hour before her training began and she would just see them off now. Ron was still bickering with her over the Cannons' when they heard a tapping noise. Looking around for the source they saw an owl sitting on the window ledge. Harry went towards it and opened up the dusty window.

Having carefully released from the letter that was bound onto his leg the owl took off and Harry turned the envelope to see whom it was sent. He tensed slightly seeing Ginny's name on it but relaxed again when he located the Holyhead Harpies' logo. Ginny kept getting letters resembling the first one she had received on the morning after her graduation. All of them were about how pretty her clothes were, or how good she looked in them, or how beautiful her smile was. All were seemingly filled with innocent compliments and all were signed up as someone who called themselves 'limerence'. And something about them made Harry feel inexplicably uncomfortable. He thought it had been jealousy at first but quickly decided later that it was just something else So he had started to look out for every letter Ginny was getting while tried not to make her suspicious.

"It's for you, Gin." She took the letter from him and started reading as Hermione gave Ron a goodbye kiss and stepped in the fireplace. The sounds of the flames filled the room at the same Ginny squeaked and started to jump up and down. Harry and Ron turned to look at her as though she grew a second head.

"I'm going to play!" she sputtered and threw herself at Harry

"What?!" Ron snatched the letter off of her hand and read the letter quickly himself. Ginny in the meanwhile continued to jump in Harry's arms who were trying to hold her while laughing.

"You are going to play!" came Ron's excited voice.

"I knew they would realize how much of a good player you are!" Harry said beaming at Ginny. Her smile faltered a bit.

"Well, it is actually because one of the chasers broke her ankle last night and healers forbade her from playing for a week. Since she won't be able to practice – "she trailed off with a shrug.

"Are you kidding? Who cares about why - you will be playing!" Ron exclaimed. Harry and Ginny turned to look at him.

"I mean, I'm sorry that the girl broke her ankle!" he amended. "But it's not like she is dead, is she? You will be playing Ginny!"

Ginny's face split open with a grin then and she started to jump again. Ron joined her and they reached out to hold each other's arms while Harry was snickering at the sight of them. Suddenly Ron stopped and his eyes widened as his mouth fell open.

"Wait a minute! You will be playing against the Cannons?!" he said as if that was the most absurd thing he had ever heard.

"Bloody hell! Which team am I supposed to support now?!"

Thank you everyone who have commented! I'm glad that you enjoy reading the first chapter. Hopefully you will like the rest to! Please feel free to correct any grammatical mistakes you've detected throughout the story! I have read a few times but I'm sure there is still quite a lot of them. I'm not native so I might make a few mistakes with the usage of some idoms! I'll gladly correct them though! Btw, I forgot to add Ginny's clothes (headcanon wise) on the first chapter. So I'll add it here alongside this chapter's (is it okay to add links under chapters?)
