Emma sent her letter demanding answers from Luna. Luna's reply was quick but it didn't tell them a lot.

"It just says that Demelza is with her and that they'll see us soon." Said Emma.

"It doesn't say anything else?" asked Ron.

"Just that they've made a nargle net." Said Emma.

"A what?" said Ron.

"Well I'd assume a net for catching nargles." Said Harry.

"But they don't exist." Said Ron in confusion.

"Luna would disagree." Said Ginny.

"But…"

"Ron, Luna would disagree." Said Harry "Ginny are you ok? You seem sick again."

"Yeah I'm fine." said Ginny feebly.

She did not look fine though. The holidays had done wonders for Ginny's apparent poor health, but with everyone due to return in a few days she seemed to be losing her colour again.

Harry for the life of him couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. Madam Pomfrey had mentioned the possibility of homesickness affecting her overall health but Ginny did not seem to be overly homesick. She and Emma had had a great time together over the holidays and also beforehand with her other friends.

"Maybe you should go back to bed." Said Emma "You look really tired, did you manage to sleep?"

"I think so." Said Ginny

"What do you mean you think so?" said Ron

"Well I don't remember…" Ginny paused "I don't remember anything about last night, so I must have been asleep."

Ginny's logic was sound but Harry got the general impression she didn't personally believe that she got to sleep the previous night.

"Maybe something to eat will help." Said Ron "Is it nearly lunch yet?

"Ron we just ate breakfast not an hour ago." Said Ginny.

"Has it only been an hour?" said Ron "How about we go flying, it's no longer snowing."

Harry looked out the window, up until today it had been snowing nonstop for weeks and although it had stopped now, the landscape, which held colours of green and brown in the summer, was completely white as the snow caked the ground.

"It has been a while." Said Ginny, perking up at the thought of being in the air.

"Let's go then." Said Harry "We'll use the school brooms."

Ron's idea seemed to work, after a little time flying in the air, Ginny look much healthier and happier. They also managed to find a Quaffle in the broom cupboard and used it to play two on two, Potters versus Weasleys. No one player was bad, Emma despite having flown for the first time only six months ago was not without some minor skill. However the Weasleys won hands down, Emma, as good as she was, was the least experienced. Harry was a shade better than Ron when it came to Quaffles but Ginny outshone them all.

"Bloody hell Ginny you're good." Said Ron "When a chaser spot next opens up you should so take it."

"When will the next chaser position open up?" said Emma
