CHAPTER FOUR
The next morning Ginny woke up. She got into her favorite pair of shorts and a shirt appropriate for Quidditch, then went down the stairs to the Great Hall for breakfast. She met Hermione at their usual spot at the table. Hermione looked incredibly peeved at something, and Ginny had an inkling of what that might be.
"Hermione, are you alright? You look sorta mad." Ginny knew the look of extreme annoyance, she had seen it many times. Too man times.
"Not really, thanks to your stupid prat of a brother, but I'll be ok," Hermione replied, "But off of the subject of myself, I heard your arguement with Dean last night? Explain, what that was all about?"
"He treats me like a child, a disabled child, with no ability to open a door or walk," said an exasperated Ginny, feeling her face heat up at the mention of last night. "When I'm with Harry, he treats me... more mature... it's like he knows how I feel."
"But Ginny, not to burst your bubble, but Dean is your boyfriend. Not Harry," Hermione told her gently. "Don't break Dean's heart over this."
"I know," she replied heatedly. Why did Hermione have to sound so right all the time? "Well, I'm going down to the pitch, want to come along?"
"No, I guess I'll wait for Harry and your stupid brother."
Ginny walked down past Hagrid's hut to the pitch, where the broom shed was located, and took her Cleansweep 10 out of the broom shed. She started warming up, flying full laps around the field. She was sure she would make it, but she was still a bit nervous, nonetheless.
Slowly, other students started coming down from breakfast to watch the tryouts. Luna Lovegood had arrived to wish her luck.
"Good luck, Ginny!" said Luna, "I would've brought my hat, but-"
"Oh, that's quite ok, Luna," said Ginny hastily.
Harry was ready for the Chasers to begin, so Luna went to the stands, and Ginny got in line. He started by flying groups of 10 around the field, to see how they're flying was. It went horrible. Two groups were first years, or people who had never been on a broom, and another group was compiled with Ravenclaws!
Ginny was in the next group. She got on her broom, and kicked off the ground. The wind whipped her hair around her face, and she could smell her flowery shampoo in the air, circulating by the wind. She was by far, the best flyer of the group she was in. When the scoring time came, she scored a whopping total of seventeen goals!
By then end of the Chaser tryouts, Harry told her that herself, Katie Bell, and a girl named Demelza Robbins had become the new Gryffindor Chasers.
Harry told her she was wonderful, and a light feeling came up in her chest.
But then it fell down with a dull thud in her stomach, when she saw Dean walking towards her.
"Oh, Dean, I'm so sorry, I wish you could've been a Chaser with me!" cried Ginny, and hugging him.
"Oh, it's ok, I'm just happy I have you to cheer on at games!" he said, hugging her back, "And I'm sorry about making you mad last night."
"I shouldn't have yelled, it's my fault." Ginny felt relieved. She hated fighting with Dean.
Dean took Ginny's hand with a smile and led her up to the stands to watch the rest of the tryouts.
The two new Beaters for Gryffindor ended up being two boys named Ritchie Coote and Jimmy Peakes. They weren't really as good as Fred and George, her older brothers and the Beaters for Gryffindor last year, but they would do pretty well.
She walked down to assist with the Keeper tryouts. She shot goals to all the Keepers, but the only two who had any chance were Cormac McLaggen and her brother, Ron Weasley.
Fortunately, when Cormac came up, and Ginny took her shot, he missed it. He actually went the opposite direction of where she had shot it. But Ron saved all five, and Ginny had given him the hardest one of all.
She could hear Cormac yelling at Harry about her. " His sister wasn't really that hard on him!"
She could hear Harry's response, and it made her feel a lot better. "Rubbish, that was the one he nearly missed."
She met up with Hermione down near the entrance of the field. "Good job, Ginny!" Hermione beamed.
"Oh, it was nothing, just did my best!" Ginny replied back to her, and hugged her best friend.
"Well, I thought it was something!" Dean said behind her.
Ginny laughed and grabbed him into a hug, seeing Hermione's look that said something like 'Thank you for listening to me. For once.'
"So, Dean, want to go down by the lake before dinner? We did have plans?" Ginny asked him after she had changed.
"Oh, I'm sorry Ginny, but Dean asked me for some help with his Transfiguration essay we had to do over the holidays. We have McGonagall tomorrow." Dean cringed. "I'm really sorry."
"Oh, it's ok, I understand." She kissed him and waved good-bye until she couldn't see him any longer.
"If you want Ginny, I'll go with you, but only if you want me too." said Hermione.
"Sure!" said Ginny. They were about to leave when somebody called out to them.
It was Harry and Ron behind them. "Where are you going off to? Hagrid's?"
"No, the lake," Ginny said.
"Ok, Ron and I'll go, is that fine?" asked Harry.
"Sure."
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, spent the rest of the day down by the lake, laughing and playing with each other, and trying to act like kids who weren't trapped in a Voldemort world.
