I don't own any of the characters. All credit goes to the Epic J.K. Rowling of course and always.

Harry

For this game, I'd taken permission from Professor McGonagall for attending and she'd allowed. She offered Ron and I seats at the bleachers with the Professors but we told her that we'd join Hermoine in the crowds.

It was slightly snowing and the weather was chilly. The crowd roared around us and to our joy and pleasure, Hagrid joined us there as well.

"Ginny's one mean seeker!" Hagrid laughed, "I reckon she's going to get me team winning the Quiddich cup this year."

"She's brilliant!" A guy, with shoulder length hair, thin figure and a slight more height, cheered beside me.

"Yes. She is." I spoke and he looked at me.

"Oh, my God! You're Harry Potter!" He gasped.

"Yes! Ginny Weasley's boyfriend!" I nodded with a smug smile and he gave me a nervous one, turning to the pitch. Hermoine and Ron were looking at me with raised brows. I shrugged and watched as the shed lifted and the scarlet players flew out. Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs cheered.

"The Captains are ready. Ravenclaw Captain Missy Pensy, and Gryffindor Captain Ginny Weasley. She's really nice. My friend." I realized it was Luna doing the commentary, "They're shaking hands. How lovely." Her sweet voice sang. I watched Ginny shake hands and then the quaffle was released along with the Bludgers. Then the snitch. The field dispersed and played around.

"Anita has the quaffle, and she's passing it to Missy but Katie's taken it from her... and its a goal for Gryffindor!" Luna chimed as Gryffindor roared with joy. Gryffindor scored a few more hoops while Nigel was playing the best keeper there. Every single hoop, he was there.

Ed swung his bat when one of the Ravenclaw beaters smacked a bludger at him. Another Ravenclaw beat a bludger towards Ginny but she swung under, so close to the ground that my knuckles tightened around the railing. She flew back to mid air and i could see a golden speck. She'd located the snitch. Just then, the blue and silver robes came near her and Cho nudged Ginny's shoulder. Ginny didnt respond and flew around the stadium, trying to reach for the snitch. Cho flew around her again, and tried to push but Ginny dodged by flying lower and getting Cho so off balance that she almost fell.

Ravenclaw scored twenty points and i watched Nigel miss a bludger. Ginny was yelling something, pointing from Amilda to Dean. When they flew near Nigel, I realized she'd asked them to cover Nigel. Katie and Amilda were spinning goals after goals. I was smiling strong at the idea that the only way Ravenclaw could win is if Cho caught the snitch. The scores were going Ninty-Thirty for Gryffindor.

"Ginny's falling!" Luna cried out and I watched Ginny up in the air, hanging one hand from her broom. One of the beaters threw a Bludger towards Ginny's hanging figure but Ed flew in at the last minute and smacked the Bludger right back. I held my breath. She was at a fatal height. She jumped back on the broom in a sway and then flew straight to the ground. I saw Cho swimming around her but Ginny kept flying to the ground and I couldnt tell why until a few feet above it, she soared back up with a golden glitter sparkling in her fingers.

"Ginny caught the snitch! Gryffindor wins!" Luna laughed and i saw her jumping behind the podium. Gryffindor cheered and the team surrounded her. They all flew to the ground and huddled. I jumped in happiness. My girl! I was so proud. Some students started running down to the pitch, but we stayed until the team started filing out. We waited a bit longer and then headed for the den. The team was still filing out.
