"Seriously, she's friends with Malfoy and his gang? That's not going to end well. He's nothing but trouble." Ginny says under her breath and I glance over to them.
"Crabbe and Goyle, the two big guys, they are really as stupid as they look. But Malfoy is the one you should look out for. She shouldn't be hanging out with them." She whispers to me.
"Yeah, but tell her that. Looks like she's all over that Malfoy kid." I sigh and look up to the professor walking in.
He looks tired, worn and his robes look like they are more than second-hand but also very intelligent and kind. He looks around the room and everyone falls silent.
"Well, we have two new students I see. As I understood, they don't teach this subject at Beauxbatons, am I right?" Professor Lupin asks and looks at me. I nod and he proceeds.
"Well then, I am sure you will catch up soon enough. Today we will be handling Defensive Charms. So no need for sitting or books. Please get up." Everyone does so and when we get up he waves his wand and all the benches and desks move to the sides of the room.
"We start with the Shield charm, pronounced Protego. You can use it to shield you of off most charms used against you. Now, make pairs of two and start practicing. The ONLY other spell I want to hear is a disarmingspell, Expelliarmus. Now begin." Ginny and me pair up, I'm excited, we mostly learn theoretically, so I do know the spells but haven't used them on a real person.
"Expelliarmus!" Ginny yells and points her wand at me. I react too late and my wand flies across the room.
"Accio wand." Ginny catches my wand en throws it at me. I get ready.
"Expelliarmus!" Ginny yells again and this time I'm prepared.
"Protego!" I yell back and the spell rebounces back to Ginny and sends her wand flying through the air. I am excited and Ginny smiles at me.
The rest of the lesson goes by too quickly and we go off to lunch. We all talk about our lessons and Harry catches my attention.
"Up until the Quidditch teams are official, the Quidditch pitch is available for anyone. You can practice there if you want, get ready for the try outs." He winks at me and I get it. He wants me on the team.
"Yeah, great idea, thanks Harry." I say and smile.
After all our classes we head to the common rooms to make the homework we got today. I notice the twins and walk up to them.
"Hey, after dinner I wanted to practice in the Quidditch pitch, you guys care to join me?" I ask and look them in the sparkly eyes.
One of them grins wide.
"Of course, m'lady." He bows silly for me and I laugh. The other just smiles nervously.
"I eh... Have and appointment. Sorry." He shrugs and I look to the other one.
"Great, see you around seven!" I laugh and turn around.
"Don't forget your broom!" he laughs widely and I grin.
At dinner I tell Ginny I am going to practice Quidditch with one of her brothers. She smiles mysterious.
"You want to come too?" I ask her, making sure she's not left out.
"No you two go have fun." She says as she winks and gets up to walk away. I am left confused and don't know how she can know I like them. Or one of them. Or both. I don't know.
Just before seven I step out on the Quidditch pitch and get on my broom. I haven't used it in weeks so I decide to just fly around first for a while. Just speeding up and slowing down, flying high and low, making sharp turns and a few tactics.
When I look down I see a red haired figure staring up at me and I sly to the ground.
"You came!" I say excited, as if I actually thought he wouldn't come.
"Of course, Georgie had to do something else. But I'm all yours." He says and I notice I begin blushing again. I see he brought the balls.
"Will you be my Keeper tonight?" I ask in an official voice.
"I'll be your Keeper anytime." He winks and takes out the Quaffle. I fly my broom up in the air and catch the Quaffle from Fred.
I fly around the goalposts and smile. I know what I'm going to do. I go full speed with the Quaffle under my elbow and jump up on my broom. I see Fred wondering what I'm going to do as he hovers in front of the goals.
I leap forward once I'm close enough and punch the Quaffle through the left hoop.
"How'd you do that!?" Fred yells exited and I fly towards him.
"Dionysus Dive. I'm quite good at that. Always confuses the Keepers." I grin big and he pats me on the back.
"You sure had me confused!" he laughs and goes to get the Quaffle.
After about two hours we walk back together to the castle and into the common room. When we enter we are still talking enthusiastically and Ginny looks at me, smiling from ear to ear. I look at her and mention her to follow me upstairs. Anna and Lorette aren't there yet. I sit her on her bed and look her in the eye.
"Now you better tell me why you act so weird." I say as I sit down on my own bed.
"Oh come on. It's obvious you like my brother. Or both of them, I don't know." She grins.
"And I happen to know they like you too." She says with and even bigger grin on her face.
My eyes get big and I look at her.
"Are you serious?" she nods.
"I don't know who you like, but they are both pretty in to you." She says and I sigh.
"I like them both, I can't even keep them apart. Tonight with Fred was so much fun, I hope I can get to do something like that with George too." I look at her.
"Well, that might be a problem. Angelina is trying to get him back. They went out in fourth year and now she wants him back." I sigh.
"Well thank god there's Fred then." I laugh and Ginny laughs with me.
