Ginny was soaring through the sky, quaffle in hand, dodging people, and bludgers. As she came close enough to the goal post, she threw the quaffle with all her might and it sailed through the hoop.

"GRYFFINDOR SCORES 10 POINTS" could be heard as she flew away, back in the game.

It was the final game, Gryffindor VS Slytherin, right now Slytherin was leading by ten points. Gryffindor needed to score twenty more points + the snitch to win the Quidditch cup. Ginny got her hands on the Quaffle and scored, then she scored again. Now they just needed to get the Snitch.

She looked up to where their Seeker was circling the pitch and nodded at them slightly. As soon as they saw, they shot down towards the Slytherin cheering section and flew through the students. When you could see them again, the snitch was in their hand.

They'd won the game, the quidditch cup, and it'll put them ahead for the house cup. All throughout the stands you could see people, the gryffindors shouting and cheering, the slytherins slumped down looking defeated, Mcgonagall jumping around, Snape, well Snape always looked like that.

After Madame Hooch handed the Trophy to the Gryffindor team, Ginny shouted "gryffindor tower, right now, celebration party" Almost everyone was there, except the Slytherins, they were still pouting. Everyone was coming up to Ginny to congratulate her, everyone but the one person she wanted to see. That's when she saw the long blonde hair of her best friend. "Luna, hey I've been looking for you." Ginny said walking up to the Ravenclaw.

"Ginny, there are so many Wrackspurts around our head, whats up"

"Oh - er - it's probably because we just won. I'm super excited and all, they'll go away soon, hopefully." And she chickened out again. Ginny knew that the wrackspurts weren't there from the game, or winning. They were there because she was in Like with Luna. Ginny had come out a couple months ago, when she realized that she had feelings for Luna, and she still hadn't done anything about them.

Ginny had been planning on telling Luna all week. She kept chickening out, it was so nerve wracking. All that was going on through her head was "What if Luna doesn't like me." "What if I completely embarrass myself telling her" "What if she doesn't want to be friends anymore" and "What do I do if she actually does like me."

"Are you sure there isn't something bothering you" Luna asked

"Yep, I'm good." Ginny replied "Oh I'll be right back there's-" the rest of her words were drowned out by the music. Ginny got swept up by the party and hadn't talked to Luna since the beginning. People kept calling her over and congratulating her. Ginny was sitting on the couch surrounded by a group of people.

"So when I caught the quaffle, I had to dodge around Parkinson, and Greengrass. When I got around them it was almost a clear shot to the Slytherin hoops, so I flew as fast as I could. All I could think about was getting the quaffle through the hoop." She recounted "As I got closer and closer to the end of the pitch, I saw Flint there staring dead at me. I thought there was no way that I would be able to get a clear shot. So I just pretended to throw it at the left hoop, and when he went over there I threw it in the right hoop. (I just used random Slytherin last names, I have no idea if any of them were at Hogwarts together or on the Quidditch team at the same time so just go with it.)

When Ginny was finished telling how she scored the goal, someone started chanting "SPEECH" until the entire room was filled with a chorus of "Speech, speech, speech.." Ginny was pushed towards a table and then boosted up.

"Umm hey guys, we had a really really good game. It wasn't just me out there, the whole team did this, I'm so proud of you guys. Thanks to all of you for cheering us on." She laughed "and let the party resume"

Ginny was trying to get down from the table when someone shouted "Wait tradition, the captain has to get a kiss." Ginny's face immediately turned red. A couple people cheered. Another person asked "So Ginny, who are we sending up there, who you been crushing on."

Ginny knew this was her chance, either Luna will like her or she'll embarrass herself in front of EVERYONE.  "Ok um, Luna you wanna come up here." The entire room went silent and all eyes turned to Luna. She looked up, smiled and started walking to the table.

When Luna started walking the entire room filled with cheers. The Gryffindor beaters helped Luna onto the table. "Hi" Ginny said awkwardly "S-" she was cut off.

"Hey Gin, why didn't you tell me you liked me." Luna asked

"I um was, it was, er, too nervous." Ginny spluttered out.

"Why? Couldn't you tell I liked you too?" Luna said

Ginny quickly looked up at Luna and she smiled. They both leaned forward and connected their lips. They were brought back to reality when the room was once again filled with cheers. Both of their cheeks turned red, and they got down from the table, hand in hand.
