The Aftermath: Sequel to It Was Always You. A Ginny Weasley Fanfic

Chapter 2

Ginny-

Today was the day. The day that Ginny would be heading to the trials for the Holyhead Harpies. Ginny had been extremely nervous and her stomach was doing somersaults every time she thought about playing for the Holyhead Harpies. In Ginny's view, this was a ona lifetime opportunity and Ginny didn't want to mess it up. Ginny had been pacing back and forth in the living room trying to make her nerves go away but for some reason they kept on jumping back to her.

"Ginny come and sit down" Harry said.

"I'm too nervous Harry, I don't want to mess this up!" Ginny cried.

Eventually Ginny sat down next to Harry and put her head in her hands. Harry was right. She needed to stop stressing out and play to best of her ability. Ginny knew that she was good but she kept doubting herself. Harry put his arm around her and they let time pass.

Around 15 minutes later and Harry and Ginny apparated to where the HolyHead Harpies training ground was. They had around 10 minutes to sit with family and friends. In the stands, there was a people sitting together and Ginny spotted her family. Caitlyn and Seamus were unable to make it as Seamus had surprised Caitlyn with a romantic meal and Alexis and Jack had gone out for the day. At least Ginny's family were there. She would have their support.

"How are you feeling Ginny?" Hermione asked.

"Nervous. I just want to do well" Ginny answered.

"You're an amazing Quidditch player Ginny, you used to steal our brooms when you were six." George laughed.

Then the sounds of footsteps could be heard and they got louder. Ginny whipped her head around to see the HolyHead Harpies team walking out onto the pitch with their team captain Gwenog Jones leading them out. Ginny breathed out and received the last good luck wishes before heading over to where the team were stood.

"Hello! You must be Ginny Weasley" Gwen said.

"Yes I am it's nice to meet you" Ginny replied, a little starstruck.

"Well, lets get started then" Gwen smiled.

Ginny nodded and they began practising drills. The other two chasers were called Arabella Rosewood and Emerald Bailey. Ginny spoke to them very briefly and they began to work. Ginny had given 100% and she felt that she couldn't do anymore. Gwen had suggested a short game to put Ginny's ability to the test. Everyone agreed. The team positioned themselves as the referee released the Bludgers, Quaffle and Snitch. Gwen the seeker and from what Ginny had heard she was amazing player. Ginny dived to catch the Quaffle swerving the other players, her eyes fixed on the goalpost. Ginny dodged the opposite team and took a shot at goal, it flew straight threw. Ginny could hear the cheers from her family below.

The Quaffle was thrown amongst the other team. They had great tactics. Ginny tried to grab it out of their hands but their player swerved away from Ginny. Not wanting to give up that easy Ginny tried again. It was hard trying to reach for the Quaffle. Especially when on a broom. Ginny reached out her hand and missed by just a fraction. The Quaffle was then intercepted by another player and was thrown into Ginny's possession. Ginny could hear the wisps of other brooms heading towards her and her grip was held even tighter than before. She saw out of the corner her eye, a body fly next to her trying to reach for the Quaffle. Ginny put up a fight, not wanting to let the Quaffle go. The other team player was much stronger than Ginny. With other option, he pushed Ginny hard which made her grip loosen the Quaffle and it went of her hands. The other player had pushed Ginny so hard that she went flying off of her broom and crashing into the stand where her brothers and Harry and Hermione were. Her shoulder was the first victim of pain and Ginny fell to the ground, her eyes flickering.

Ginny's eyes slowly opened. She was squinting as she got used to the light. She looked round as she saw loads of figures with bright red hair around her. Beside her was Harry. He looked like he was panicking. Ginny tried to sit up, but a pain rushed through her shoulder. It didn't feel dislocated, just broken.

"Ginny are you ok?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, my shoulder hurts and so do my ribs" Ginny winced.

"What do we do?" Ron asked.

"You could try apparating her." Hermione suggested.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I'll be fine" Ginny replied.

Ginny took Harry's hand and she felt herself twisting and turning. She finally felt the ground and she looked up to see that they were at St Mungos. Ginny limped in and was given a bed. Healers patched up her arm in no time. Ginny was laying in her hospital bed when Alexis and Caitlyn suddenly burst into the room.

"OMG Ginny are you ok!?" Alexis cried rushing over to Ginny.

"I'm fine don't crowd me." Ginny laughed.

"The minute we heard, we came straight over" Caitlyn explained.

"All I've done is broken my shoulder and bruise some of my ribs other than that I'm fine" Ginny said.

Alexis and Caitlyn said for another hour before leaving. Hermione and Ginny's brothers left shortly after while Harry had made it clear that he wasn't going to leave Ginny's side. Ginny found his gesture so sweet but she felt that he should go home and get some rest. No matter how hard she protested, he wouldn't move.

Harry truly loved her.
