Gryffindor vs. Slytherin

When Ginny went in the Commune Room and saw Ron sleeping on one of the couches. She sneaked to her dorm quietly. The red head took The Dreamless Potion, knowing fully well that she wouldn't be able to sleep. She pulled the curtains around her bed, and soon enough drifted to a dreamless sleep.

-----------------------[

When Draco entered the Slytherin Commune Room he saw Blaise apparently waiting for him.

"Where were you?" 'He' asked.

"Excuse me?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

Daphne remembered she wasn't a girl for a week and tried to hide her mistake, "Daphne asked me at least 20 times already. I'm getting sick of it." 'He' said in a bored tone.

"I thought you fancied her." Draco smirked.

"Yeah. I did." A comfortable silence fall between the two of them. Each in his own thoughts.

" You could just give me your broom now, Blaise. You're gonna lose." Draco said smirking.

"Why?" Daphne blinked. What is he talking about???

"Because I'm going to win the bet." He rolled his eyes like it was obvious.

" The bet?" 'Blaise' gave him a confused look but that raised suspicion in Draco and Daphne added quickly "Oh! Yeah. The bet. Must have slipped out of my mind. Well I'm off to bed." 'Blaise' headed to the boys dorm's and made a mental note to ask Blaise about that bet.

Well that was strange. Draco thought and also went to bed. He needed sleep for the upcoming match.

But sleep didn't come to him for a really long time. He was thinking about Ginny and everything else that happened the last few hours. Why did stay with her anyway? He didn't care what could happen to the littlest Weasel. He didn't care for anyone. But, truth said, he did care for Ginny. He didn't even know why or how. He tried to deny it, to think he did it just to win that bet with Blaise. His heart cared for her even though his mind refused to acknowledge it.

After what felt like hours of trashing in his bed. Draco fell asleep but the image of Ginny screaming and trashing in her dream hunted his dreams.

---------------------------------------------[

The next morning at breakfast Ginny sat with Ron, Harry and Hermione.

"Hi, guys!" she greeted. "Hermione I don't feel OK. Can you come with me to Madame Pomfrey?"

Hermione understood what Ginny was really saying. That was the secret sentence they had when something was going on. She stood up and made the hand sign to Luna and left the Great Hall. The blonde girl followed soon after.

The three of them made their way to the Room of Requirement in silence. Once they were inside in the familiar bedroom Hermione and Luna looked expectantly at Ginny.

"We have a problem or more like I have a problem." She told them.

"What is it?" Hermione was starting to worry. "

"Well…"Ginny them what had happened yesterday.

"Harry and Ron were sick with worry. Ron even stayed to wait for you to return before I urged him to go to sleep or he wouldn't be able to play tomorrow." Hermione said.

"Didn't seem that worried to me at breakfast." Ginny gave a half- smile.

"That's because he was talking about Quidditch." Explained Hermione.

"So you became his girlfriend?" intervened Luna.

"Didn't you hear me?! He cheated!!!" Ginny cried hysterically.

"So than what is your problem? You'll just tell him you won't do it because the Dimentor didn't let you win and them you'll remake the race. It's as simple as that." Said Luna matter- of- factly.

"The second part of the deal, that's what, troubles me…" and then realization hit her, "you know what, Luna? You're right. I didn't even think about it! I'm so stupid!" the red head clapped a hand on her forehead and hugged her friend.

"You said you saw a silver light before you fainted, right?" Hermione, who was silent all the way through Ginny's tale, asked. The younger girl nodded and the dark haired witch continued. "And you're sure there wasn't anyone else on the pitch?" Another nod came from Ginny. "Then I was wondering where he learned the Patronus spell. They didn't teach us at school, well not yet anyway, and he certainly was not in the D.A. so who taught him? I highly doubt that it was his father, after all he is a Death Eater and the Dementors are on Voldemort's side. So where did he learnt it?" Hermione bit her lip deep in thought. For the 1st time in her life Hermione Jane Granger didn't know the answer. They were silent few moments then gave up on guessing.

"We better get going. The match is in half an hour." Ginny finally broke the silence.

They exited the Room and headed their separate ways- Hermione and Luna to the tribunes and Ginny to the Gryffindor changing rooms. Almost at the doors Brandon caught up with her.

"Hi, Gin!" he greeted.

"Hey, Brandon! What's wrong?" she asked when she saw his worried face.

"I was going to ask you the same thing. You didn't eat at breakfast. Here." he handed her a muffin.

"Thanks. You're a life- savior." She said and gave him a peck on the cheek then hungrily ate the offered muffin.

He laughed. "I thought you were hungry."

By that time they had reached the Gryffindor changing rooms.

"Good luck!" Brandon called and kissed her on the mouth. It wasn't a oh-my –God- he- finally- kissed- me kind of kiss it was more like a hope- you- win kiss. She just smiled at him and went to change into her Quidditch uniform.

Ginny was nervous about the upcoming match. She didn't like to be Seeker. They only searched for the Snitch. Being a Chasser was much more exciting.

The captains of the two teams shook hands. For the Slytherin team it was Draco Malfoy and for the Gryffindor team that was Ron because Harry had detention with Moody that day.

"GO!" Madam Hooch blew the whistle and 14 brooms flew in the air.

-------------------------[

"And Katie Bell has the Quaffle." said Luna Luvegood from the commentator's booth. "Good flyer that one. She passes to Angelina Johanson who's at ten inches from the goal post and….Oh look! She scored! Ten points to Gryffindor!"

Ten minutes into the game and the score was tied 150:150.

Ginny was flying above the Gryffindor goal posts when she saw it. The Snitch was flying near the Ravenclaw' tribunes. She flew towards it but she was still too far from it. Ginny blocked the sound coming from the commentators' booth. Actually nobody was speaking nor moving. She guessed that Malfoy had seen the Golden Snitch too. He was gaining on her. They were neck- to- neck. Then in a fraction of a second he took the lead but not for long because she overtook him almost instantly. Ginny was almost there…

Nobody saw that Theodore Nott scored and apparently no one cared.

"Blaise" a.k.a. Daphne slammed the Bludger with full force towards Ginny. The ball hit her square in the back. She lost balance and fell off her broom. In her panic she grabbed for the first thing she could- that happened to be the Snitch but at the moment it wasn't a great consolation.

No one moved. Everyone stared at shock as the red head fell towards the ground. Draco was the first to recover from the shock and flew to her. A couple of feet from the ground he finally caught her around the waist but couldn't land very well so they both fell on the ground. It was a rather nasty fall. Draco fell first and tried to cushioned Ginny's fall. They rolled and ended lying next to each other breathing hard.

Just then Ginny saw the two teams and the professors coming. She tried to stand but a sharp pain shot trough her spine where the Bludger had hit her. Ginny closed her eyes shut and rested again on the ground. Next thing she knew professor Dumbledore was calling for Madam Pomfrey and two strong arms picked her up from the ground. She looked into a pair of stormy grey eyes, smiled and fell into the awaiting darkness.
