A/N: It's been awhile since I last updated Moments. Sorry, but I've been working on 18 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity. Gosh, that's long. So, yeah but I just got this idea stuck in my head and had to write it. I came up with it when I was reading some Harry/Ginny fics. Yep, it's my first Harry/Ginny chapter! Hope you like it. XD
Chapter 14: The Benefits of Quidditch
Ginny Potter had been having a very stressful day. She had been woken up early this morning to discover an owl bearing a letter about her eldest son causing yet more trouble. Then, after having been lectured by James' Head of House, when she finally got to work, she was welcomed by her boss being in a terrible mood. Which caused Ginny to suffer in turn. So, after such a gruelling day, she was looking forward to finally getting home and spending a nice evening with her husband. Turns out her plans weren't going quite the way she had hoped.
"Gin, I'm sorry, but I have all this paperwork to do. Why don't you read a book, or something?" Harry replied shortly as he rummaged through a drawer for another quill. Ginny had thrown his other out the window when he didn't look at her. Ginny's eyes narrowed and she left the room before she was tempted to throw Harry out the window too.
"Well, looks like I have to resort to the good old backup plan again," Ginny muttered to herself with a grin. She strode briskly from the house, grabbing her broom on her way. Once she was out in the large backyard, she mounted and kicked off. Feeling the familiar rush of adrenaline, Ginny smiled. She sped toward the study window and knocked loudly on the glass. Harry looked up abruptly, automatically reaching for his wand, a habit that still lingered from the war. He smiled when he saw his wife hovering outside the window.
"Ginny, what is it?"
"Quick! Harry, you have to see this!" Ginny shouted excitedly, beckoning at him. He shot her a questioning look, but when he received no further response, sighed and left the room. Ginny swerved around and flew so she would be visible from the back door. Harry walked outside and looked up at her.
"So, what is it?" he asked with his arms folded. Ginny grinned.
"Watch this!"
Ginny dived, steep and dangerously. She heard Harry shout out in fear. He should know better, she had played professionally. She was in her element. Just as she was about to crash, Ginny wrenched up her broom, and flew smoothly out of the dive with her feet skimming the ground. She landed a few feet in front of Harry.
"What were you saying?" she asked with her eyebrows raised. Harry stared at her for a few moments before responding.
"Bedroom, now. Or maybe just inside," he added as an afterthought. Harry closed the distance between them, swept her into his arms and started carrying her back to the house. Ginny smirked broadly and said in a satisfied tone:
"Works every time."
"What was that?"
"Nothing!"
A/N: This may not make much sense to some of you. Or most…But in a lot of fanfics that I've read about this pair, they write about Harry finding Ginny very attractive when she plays Quidditch. Which I'm sure something of the sort happened in the books too…Well, he only hugged her but you know. Lol.
I just realised something yesterday. I'm rereading OTOP. And when I got to the hearing part, it says it takes place on the 12th of August. And Ginny's birthday is on the 11th, right? (At least I think it is) So why no mention of her birthday? I mean I know birthdays aren't really mentioned much, but still, even just a one-liner about a birthday dinner. Just thought I'd point that out. XD
I might update again soon, it depends on whether or not I decide to write another Lily Luna story. I have the idea, but do you think I should write it? I've already done 4 about her. =P
Review please!
P.S. Ok, I just remembered something. Does anyone know when ArchEnemy by Frank Beddor comes out in Australia? It's the last in the Looking Glass Wars trilogy. And I REALLY want it. But no one knows when it comes out here. I asked the people at Borders, and they didn't know. I've googled (hehe love that word) it. It was released in America on the 16th. :(
So, if anyone knows PM me please. Thanks. :)
