After Dinner, Ginny had told Neville all about what had happened in flying class in the Gryffindor common room when both of them were trying to finish their homework. 

Demelza and Colin had already done the first year's homework and after having an argument about something, they both had went to bed. 

"Wow." Neville had said, when Ginny had completed what she was saying. "Now I'm part of the team."

"Which position?" Neville asked her. Ginny hesitated. "Tomorrow I'm having a session with Wood so we can figure out which position is best for me, I think I'm a better Chaser than Seeker or Beater or Keeper. " 

Neville looked at Ginny's little body up and down and chuckled. "Beater? I mean Chaser I can get but Beater!? Don't you have to be strong for that?"

Ginny hit Neville on the arm with some parchment. 

"Ow." Neville whined. 

"Offcours I'm strong, size does not quarantine power." Ginny said. 

"I think you mean guarantee." Neville corrected her. 

"Nope, I mean quarantine." Ginny said stubbornly. Neville sighed and continued one his essay. "You Weasleys are all the same." He muttered, quiet enough so that Ginny couldn't hear.

The next day, Luna and Ginny walked to Breakfast together. Luna was telling Ginny about the Quibbler, the magazine which her father made when they were interrupted by Neville. 

"Hey girls." He said, walking beside them. "Hi." Luna and Ginny said in unison. 

"So Luna, Scamander Blood-" A sandy haired boy turned around to look at Neville in confusion and fear. Ginny shook her head. "Salamander Blood." 

The boy behind let out a small sigh of relief. "Poor guy, thinks you're going to eliminate the Scamander family." Luna said chuckling. 

"I think I should apologize." Neville said but when he turned around, the boy had already gone. Neville turned back around. "So about Salamander Blood...umm...what was I about to say again?"

Ginny and Luna giggled. "Don't worry about it, you're done with Salamander Blood, right?" Ginny said to him as they reached the Great Hall. "Tell that to Snape." said Neville darkly. Ginny winced sympathetically.

"Come on, he isn't so bad, I bet something happened in his childhood that made him well him." Luna said. Neville snorted. 

"What could possibly happen to make this cruel and a slimy git?" Neville said and looked at Luna and Ginny  who had a horrified expression on there faces. "He's right behind me, isn't he?"  The girls nodded. 

"Yes I am," said Snape, "And detention and twenty points from Gryffindor for you being rude to a teacher." 

"Twenty!?" Ginny couldn't help saying.  Snape frowned at her. "Five more points from your beloved house for criticizing teaching methods and I can increase it."  Snape said coldly and walked away.
