Harry had lowered to the ground, and had made a simple landing, hearing a group of girls gasp and giggle at Harry's skill. One girl in this group was Catriona, the muggleborn girl from the restaurant the four teenager's had gone to in Diagon Alley over the summer. She once again had her eyes only on Ron the entire time. Which did not go unnoticed by Hermione, who had been watching the tryouts in the stands.
A particular forward girl, named Sara, squealed and went up to Harry and said, "Oh, Harry, your hair is so messed up from all that flying!" She giggled, and licked her fingers, attempting to do it seductively, placing them in his hair, trying to fix it.
He stole a glance at Ginny who was eyeing the girl, with crossed arms, and was glaring at her. He grabbed Sara's hand and dropped it, saying, "Er, thanks. It's usually, er, like that..." he trailed off awkwardly. The girl giggled and moved back to the group of girls.
"Er," he began quietly, but continued louder, talking to the whole group of students, "Thank you, everyone for coming out today. I'll have the list of players up tomorrow, and I just wanted to say that you all did a great job, and my decision will be very hard to make." Harry said, not altogether truthfully. Cormac snorted at Harry's speech, and Harry's eyes moved to his easy frame leaning on his broom. Harry was having second thoughts on putting him on the team.
Most students began to walk back to the school, but the group of girls, Ginny and Ron stayed behind. Ginny was beaming at him, but before she had a chance to even take a few steps toward her boyfriend, the swarm of girls moved toward Harry, and surrounded him. Catriona however, walked over to Ron, and began playing with his uniform. Hermione noticed the girl coming up to her boyfriend.
"Hey, Ron." She looked up through her eyelashes at him. "You never called!" Catriona said, referring to the number she had slipped him, and fake pouted. He scratched his head nervously, not quite sure what to say. "Looks like you'll need to be punished," She said, seductively. She put her hand around his waist and squeezed his bum.
He jumped away, and said, "Er, sorry. I don't have a telemephone."
He didn't have to say anything else, because Hermione had come up to them and looked at her wrist that had no watch on it. "Oh, look at the time! We better go." She grabbed Ron's hand and they walked towards to castle, leaving a very disgruntled girl behind them.
Meanwhile, Harry was being bombarded by seven or eight teenage girls. "Harry! You are so great at Quidditch!" "Could I have a ride on your broomstick?" While Harry was getting a few words in between, such as, "Er, I've got to-" But would eventually be cut off by another question.
Ginny stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at the cluster around Harry. She grabbed her broomstick that was on the ground, and walked over to the swarm of girls. "Alright, ladies. Step aside." She said, shooing the girls away from Harry, who all looked Ginny up and down, glaring at her. She continued, "Harry has better things to do," she grabbed Harry's arm and started dragging him away, "Thank you," she said, after a girl reluctantly stepped aside from Ginny's stride.
The girls stormed off, some still giggling while Harry and Ginny moved towards the broom shed. Ginny had a strong hold on Harry's arm, who was still being dragged away by his girlfriend. "Ouch, Gin. I think you can let go now," Harry uttered. She let go and he rubbed the spot on his arm that she had been grasping. After a few moments, Harry continued, trying to stir up a conversation in the uneasy silence, "So, I already have my decision made for the team. It'll be you, Ron, and Cormac, as cha-"
"Yeah," Ginny said over her shoulder, "I know who you chose. I was really hoping for a challenge, but since those girls didn't exactly have an interest in Quidditch," She emphasized the last word, "I didn't really have to try. I suppose you will have to choose Cormac as another chaser." She let out a sound of disgust. "He was so confident, though. It was like he had a broomstick up his arse."
Harry laughed at Ginny's comment but he was a little distracted. He was quite enjoying the view of Ginny backside. Her hips were moving side to side, asking him to look at them. "You're right, there's not really any other choice..." Harry trailed off and gulped. They were nearly at the broom shed, and she was a few strides ahead of Harry. He used his long legs to his advantage and came up from behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she yelped in confusion and amusement. He bent his head down and started kissing her neck.
"Harry," she began to protest, but it came out as a moan. She turned around in his arms and their lips met. The kiss was just like the one the night before, slow and sensuous. Their mouths were glued together, moving with each other. Ginny put her hands into Harry's hair and pulled him towards the door of the shed. They pushed through the door and as soon as it had swung closed, Ginny jumped up so that her legs were around Harry's waist. She started grinding her groin into his. Harry's hand, which was on her bum, was only helping her movements.
When they came up for air, Ginny said breathlessly, "You're really sweaty. I think you need a shower." Without skipping a beat, they began kissing feverishly this time, and Harry started walking with Ginny around his waist, toward the showers.
They freed each other of their clothing and pulled the curtain closed. Harry turned on the water and it began to drip down their bodies. Ginny grabbed the back of Harry's head and pulled his face towards hers. His arms were wrapped around her tiny waist. Their bare bodies were pressed against each other, and the hot water was not helping their need for each other.
Harry groaned as she started moving her body against his. He couldn't believe how well they fit together. She was just so beautiful, sometimes the mere sight of her caused him to lose control.
Apparently Harry did this to Ginny as well because she pushed him against the wall of the shower, and started kissing down from his mouth, across his jaw, and down his chest until she met the center of his excitement. She kneeled down and kissed it. He looked down at her in shock and she raised an eyebrow, looking up at him. When she was about to take him in her mouth, they heard the door open and someone say something. Harry quickly picked up Ginny's clothes that were by the shower and threw them inside the shower, getting them soaked.
"Harry?" It was Ron. Ginny closed her eyes in frustration and looked up at Harry. She raised her eyebrows, telling him to speak.
"Er, yeah?" Harry said, attempting to sound casual.
"Umm, is Ginny in here?" Ron asked cautiously.
"Oh," Harry looked down at Ginny for an answer. She looked at him as if he had three heads. 'No!' she mouthed. "Er, no." Harry said.
Ginny waited, expecting her brother to leave, but instead he said, "Right. Good, because I was wondering if I could, er, talk to you... about... something." Ron trailed off awkwardly.
Ginny rolled her eyes, and Harry said, "Oh. Sure." She looked up at him with wide eyes. 'What?!' she mouthed angrily. 'What?' he mouthed confusedly.
"It's about Hermione." Ron continued. She started to laugh about how awkward this was going to be.
Harry leaned his head against the wall trying not to look at her, because otherwise he would start to laugh as well. His voice cracked as he spoke, "What about her?"
"Well, you know how much I love her?"
Ginny mouthed, 'awww.' Harry smiled and rolled his eyes. He said, "Yes, Ron. You say it all the time."
Ron laughed, "Yeah, well... I've been thinking, and well, I've been thinking about asking her to... to..."
Ginny and Harry looked at each other, knowing what he was about to say. "Ask her what, Ron?"
"T-to... marry me." Ron stuttered.
"What?" Harry asked, somewhat surprised, "Like, now?" Ginny smiled at how happy the idea would make Hermione.
"Well, no. Maybe at the end of the school year. I mean, it's a big decision, don't you think?" Ron said. This time, Harry couldn't keep in his laughter, and neither could Ginny, so Harry had to fake a coughing fit to cover up her laugh. "You okay, Harry?"
"Yeah, fine." He cleared his throat, "Well, yes, Ron, it is a big decision."
"Or I was thinking over Christmas break."
This time Harry was actually coughing from the air he had choked on. "Whoa, Ron. That's a little soon. I mean, you only started dating this summer." Ginny gave him a disapproving look, she definitely didn't think it was too soon. They had practically loved each other since second year. "Well, what I'm saying is, you should probably wait until school's out, and you have a job." Ginny smiled and nodded her head in approval. The water had began to get cold and the couple began to shiver. Harry shut off the water, which only made the cold worse, and grabbed his wand and summoned two towels.
"Well, you know- Why do you need two towels?" Ron asked curiously.
"Oh, I like to dry my hair with... one..." Harry said, making it up off the top of his head. Ginny smiled at him and snatched one of the towels out of his hands.
Ron snorted, "You're such a girl, Harry."
"Thanks," Harry mumbled.
Ginny laughed out loud, and Ron had apparently noticed. "Whoa, you really are. I think you just laughed like a girl, mate." Ron laughed, "So, when were you planning on asking Ginny the big question, anyway? You were talking about it the other day, and you said-"
Harry interrupted his best friend, attempting to say a few sentences, which sounded like, "Oh- ha- I dunno- er- ha, umm- yeah." and Ginny had whipped her head up to look at her boyfriend with a stunned look on her face. He did everything to not look at Ginny. Harry wrapped the towel around his waist and got out of the shower, being careful to keep Ginny concealed.
'Harry's been thinking about asking me to marry him?' Ginny thought, a broad smile erupting on her face.
"Now your tongue is tied? You seemed pretty excited about it last week." Ron said. Ginny raised her eyebrows.
Harry spoke loudly and quickly, "Okay, er- what time is it? Oh wow, time to go, I suppose." She heard him walking towards the door.
"But you're not even dressed yet." Ron said in confusion. There was a soft whoosh and Harry had summoned his clothes and they had materialized on his body. The towel was now folded neatly on a bench in the room. Ron laughed and said, "Alright, then." As they walked out the door, Ginny heard Ron say jokingly as they walked out, "So, who'd you choose to replace me as keeper?"
When Ginny was sure they were gone, she got out of the shower and put her clothes on. A smile was plastered on her face as she walked up to the castle.
