Umbridge was getting more and more suspicious of us. Filch followed some of us everywhere, but she seemed to trust me. She even offered me a spot on her "inquisitorial squad". Somehow I had become the teacher's pet of the teacher I hated. Hermione laughed when I told her so.
"How did you manage it?"
"Honestly... I have absolutely no idea..."
Hermione giggled.
"Do you want the position. I'd gladly give it to you."
"I don't think we are allowed to trade."
We broke out laughing.
It was odd on the Gryfindor Team without Fred, George, or Harry. The beaters now were... Definitely interesting to watch, but I mush say Ginny could kick some serious butt as a seeker.
"So, this is the last meeting before vacation and, well done...everyone." Everyone applauded Harry after he was done talking. Then slowly we started to filter out so we wouldn't get caught. I saw Harry eyeing Cho. I grabbed hold of the twins and motioned for Ginny to leave with me. She did with one final upset look backwards.
"What was that for?" George yelped once we were back in the halls.
"Yeah, we were going to go talk to Harry." Fred agreed.
"That is exactly why I pulled you two out."
"What?" they asked together.
"You two are morons." Ginny's voice was quivering as she fought back tears. I gently put my arm around her shoulders.
"I know." I whispered in her ear. "You'll have your time, eventually."
