11- Quidditch Calamity

Your POV:

Everyone got ready for the day. Ginny and Hermione put on thick long sleeves and athletic pants. But you didn't want to take off Ron's sweater, so you slipped on a pair of tan sweatpants to match it. You then stood in front of Ginny's mirror, combing your hair.

"Guys I really need to get to Diagon Alley today," you stated, nervous that someone might have swooped in and taken your gift idea.

"Right, I think we were all going to play some quidditch today so if you want to sneak off then and go look you can." Ginny told you.

"Yeah, we will cover for you," Hermione added, pulling on a pair of socks.

"Thank you guys so much," you said, shooting them both a big smile through the mirror.

You pulled your hair up into a messy but cute ponytail since you were going to play quidditch once you returned. You then slipped on a pair of sneakers and walked downstairs with Ginny and Hermione.

The twins and Ron were waiting in the kitchen, wearing some beaten up quidditch gear that seemed to be used quite often.

Ron blushed at the sight of you, noticing that you were still wearing his sweater. This caused you to blush almost as much as him.

"Is everyone ready?" Bill asked, entering the room.

There were several yes's and nods around the room, so you all walked outside. Ron ran to the shed to grab their at home quidditch set and plopped all the equipment down in the middle of the group.

"So, teams?" Fred asked, as him and George wrestled for a specific broom.

"Wait, we have an uneven number," Hermione said, giving you a chance to escape.

"You know what, you guys start playing. I'll be back in a bit. I need to go do something real quick." You told the group as you began walking back towards the house.

"Wait, y/n, are you sure?" Ron said to you, looking a bit worried. "Do you want me to come with you?"

"No it's okay, I'll only be a little while," you reassured with a smile. "I need to go send off a Christmas card to my family. It's going to take a few days to get there so I should send it now," you made up off the top of your head.

You ran into the kitchen and found the drawer that Mrs. Weasley kept the Floo Powder in. You grabbed a plastic baggie from a different drawer and poured some powder into it before shoving the bag into your pocket. You really didn't want to get stuck in Diagon Alley.

You double checked your pants pocket to make sure you had your Gringotts key before stepping into the fireplace. You were a bit nervous to travel by Floo Powder alone, but you didn't have time to overthink it. You threw the powder at your shoes and shouted your destination.

Once you had arrived, you quickly peeked into the window of the store with the new Nimbus broom. It was still there.

Thank goodness!

You quickly walked in the other direction, towards Gringotts. There was quite a bit of people in the alley that day so you tried not to get caught up. You hurriedly entered Gringotts and spoke to a goblin.

"I'd like to open my vault." You stated, confidently. And before the goblin could ask, you placed your key on the counter in front of you.

He took you down to your vault and opened it up for you. You walked in and scooped some valuable coins into your small bag.
