Disclaimer: The usual stuff. There are JKR's characters. Hogwarts is hers. She holds the rights to all that stuff, etc.

Note: if you haven't noticed by now, this obviously isn't going along with the books. I'm not exactly sure when the common history between the background of this story and the real books split. In a sense, it's almost an alternate reality where some of the history is shared, but other parts aren't.

Ginny flies with the quaffle towards the Slytherin keeper as both Slytherin beaters trail her, hoping for a chance to lob a bludger her way. A Slytherin chaser suddenly flies in front of Ginny to cut her off.

"Oy!" Ginny yells out to Demelza Robins as she throws her the quaffle, with a second Slytherin chaser barely missing an interception. Ginny briefly looks up and sees both Harry and Draco Malfoy circling the pitch. Obviously neither have spotted the golden snitch yet.

Ginny then flies left of the Slytherin keeper and goal. Just as Ginny thought, Demelza flies towards the right side of the keeper, fakes a toss towards the goal to pull the Slytherin keeper towards the right, then tosses Ginny the quaffle, who instantly tosses it between the left-most hoop, giving Gryffindor a 90 - 10 lead, still not enough to win if Draco gets the snitch first, however.

Ginny flies past one of Gryffindor's beaters hitting one of the bludgers towards a Slytherin player on her way to set up to play defense.

She stops just in front of Ron and glances back. "Good work, Ron!" she yells, then quickly turns around to pay attention to the action again.

Ginny floats left and right as the three Slytherin chasers toss the ball back and forth on their way down the pitch. The Gryffindor beater she passed earlier stops a few feet away from her, and Ginny points towards the center Slytherin Chaser. The beater nods in understanding and flies off to find a bludger while Ginny starts flying towards the three Slytherin chasers flying ever closer to their goal.

Suddenly a Slytherin player yells out a name, and the center Slytherin chaser suddenly flies up, barely missing a bludger. However, he does this just as the quaffle is being tossed his way, and the quaffle starts drifting towards the ground. Ginny, who is flying at full speed at this point, grabs the Quaffle before the other two Slytherin Chasers can get there.

Ginny quickly separates herself from all three Slytherin players, fakes to the left, then flies to the right and tosses the quaffle through the center Slytherin goal to make the game 100 - 10.

As Ginny flies back towards her goal to go on defense again, she sees Ron giving her a thumbs up and smiling widely. Ginny winks at him just before she turns around.

Suddenly there is a big roar from the crowd and Ginny looks up to see Harry and Draco neck-and-neck flying towards their end of the pitch, obviously chasing the snitch. The Gryffindor fans suddenly gasp as it appears that Draco has the lead, and is merely inches away from grabbing the snitch.

Ginny suddenly has an idea and flies straight at Draco. Another gasp spreads through the stadium as the spectators react to Ginny's bold move. A small grin comes across her face as she realizes that Draco is too intent on watching the snitch to notice her. She suddenly flies up right in front of Draco, missing him by inches, and causing Draco to wildly fly off course in an effort to avoid her. Harry takes advantage of Draco's evasive meneauver to take the lead in capturing the snitch.

Draco looks up at Ginny and gives her a nasty look, but Ginny just looks down on him, waves, and smiles.

After this, it becomes obvious that Ginny becomes the primary target of the Slytherin team as bludgers start flying towards her at increasing frequency. Suddenly a huge roar springs from the Gryffindor fans as Harry grabs a hold of the snitch, giving Gryffindor a 270-30 win over Slytherin. Ginny swings to a stop and starts to celebrate as well.

"Ginny! Look out!" Ginny hears a voice from somewhere, but before she can look, both bludgers suddenly hit her at once - one in the chest and one one the side of her head - causing her to spiral violently down into the grass below.

Ginny's eyes suddenly go blurry. She hears an older woman screaming "Ms. Weasley? Ms. Weasley!," but the voice fades away as everything goes black.

"...bloody well deserve it too!" Ginny suddenly hears an angry boy's voice that seemed very familiar to her, but she couldn't quite place who it belongs to.

"I'm at least happy that Snape wasn't able to get them out of it this time." Another familiar voice spoke up, and Ginny tried opening her eyes and groaned.

"Ron, I think she's waking up," the second voice says.

"Ginny! Ginny! Are you OK?," The first voice asks her.

"What do you think?," the first voice remarked, sounding rather annoyed.

Ginny is finally able to open her eyes, and as they came into focus, she sees Ron and Harry sitting on either side of her looking at her.

"Ugh, what happened?" Ginny asks groggily.

"Well, both Slytherin beaters apparently thought they would take their frustrations out on you and hit both bludgers towards you right after Harry caught the snitch," Ron explains to her.

"Well, that's no surprise," Ginny says, trying to sound upbeat. "But, I do feel like I have quite a headache."

"No wonder," Harry started to explain, "The bludger hits broke 3 of your ribs and cracked your skull, and you broke a leg when you hit the ground. Madam Pomfrey said that she hadn't seen anyone in as bad of shape as you were in quite a while, and giving what passes as injuries here, that's saying something."

"But you'll be happy to know that those two Slytherin blokes got detention for a month and got banned from their next Quidditch game. McGonagall was practically screaming at Snape until he agreed to put them into detention. I just wish he would have cowered like a little baby along with it." Ron continued, with a bit of bitterness at the end.

"Well yeah, meanwhile the rest of the team had to hold you back from almost killing the Slytherin beaters in the meantime," Harry dryly added.

After several more minutes of conversation, Harry gets up and starts to gather his things. "Well, I have to meet up with Dumbledore. I'll see you two later."

"Later!" Ron motions good-bye towards Harry, and Harry leaves the hospital.

"I guess I'm out of commission for a little while," Ginny says with a weak laugh and smile as she looks over to Ron.

"Well, I don't think it would have mattered anyway," Ron remarks, and Ginny gives him a confused look. Ron continues, "after we did so well in the match, the rest of the teams decided that they would participate in our 'extended practices' as well."

Ginny starts to laugh, but it quickly turns into a cough.

"Are you OK?" Ron worriedly asks.

"Yeah. I'm still kind of out of it, though." Ginny responds. She then reaches over and grabs a hold of Ron's hand. "But I'll be OK as long as you're here," Ginny adds, weakly smiling up at Ron.

Ron leans over and gives Ginny a light kiss. Ginny smiles up at Ron, then falls back to sleep.
