Chapter 18 : Nightmares and Match
My eyes opened and I found myself in a huge crowd. I couldn't see anything. I felt broken, like half of myself had been taken away from me. I felt like I had to find it and get it back. But how? I looked in the crowd. Where was it.... where? I looked around again... then I heard this voice.. what was it saying? Something like... missing something... I suddenly realized that he was here.
I began to run as fast as I could. I ran.. and ran and never stopped. I couldn't stop. I was in the need to run to him. I ran and ran... until I heard a scream and fell into the dark.
My eyes shut open.
"Ginny!!! We tried to wake you up!! You were screaming!!" I heard Hermione say.
"Ginny... can you hear us??" I heard another voice ask.
"Yeah.." I tried to say.
"Oh my goodness."
"Calm down I'm alright."
"I'm not so sure.." Hermione said.
"Yeah if you were you wouldn't have woke everyone at bloody 3 o clock." Betty said.
"What was the dream about? " Melissa asked.
"I don't know..I was... lost in a crowd and.. and I was running... I wanted to find.."
"To find what??"
"I don't know exactly..." I sighed.
"Okay... maybe you should drink a bit of water..."
"No I'm fine."
"Okay.. then we gonna try to go back to sleep."
"Yeah, I need to sleep, there's the match tomorrow."
They all nodded and got back under their covers. I sighed and closed my eyes. That voice, this panic I felt.. how come? I couldn't remember having such nightmares before... it was so..real.

Saturday had come so quickly and it was already the match against Ravenclaw. I was changing into my Quidditch robes with Sarah and Rachel.
"I can't wait to win!!" Squealed Rachel.
"Yeah same!!" Sarah relied.
"Well I can't wait to party!!" I said making them laugh.
"Girls come on!!" We heard Cory yell through the door.
"Coming!!" We screamed.
We went near the door and heard the guys talk.
"I hope we won't be too tired." Dean said.
"I'm sorry..." I heard Harry say.
"Don't worry mate. It's not your fault." Ron assured him.
"What's not his fault?" Sarah asked.
"Harry had a kind of nightmare last night. Kinda woke everyone up at 3 o clock." Dean said bitterly. A nightmare ? At 3 o clock? It must have been a coincidence.
"I'm sorry, really." Harry sighed.
"Don't worry. I'm not mad at you. Just mad at my eyes that keep shutting."
I rolled my eyes and we all sat to listen to Harry's encouragement speech.
"We can do it. It's for most of us the last year and the last chance to win the cup. But this year we have a particularly good team. That's all I can say. You know we can win. Good luck everyone."
We all nodded. A few minutes later we walked on the pitch and the match began. I scored 6 goals, Sarah 4, and Dean 3 while the Ravenclaws only scored 7.
Ron was a great keeper, even the Slytherins couldn't deny it. My eyes spotted Harry. He was flying majestically, towards a glowing little ball. I smiled. He was going to catch it. The Ravenclaw seeker had just understood that Harry had outran him. He started to fly in Harry's direction but he was far too late.
"HARRY POTTER JUST CAUGHT THE GOLDEN SNITCH! Gryffindor wins!!" The commentator, who was a Hufflepuff, yelled.
We all came back to the ground and ran towards Harry, who was beaming.
***
"That was such a great match guys!" Sarah smiled broadly.
"Yeah!" The whole team cheered.
"You were really good Gin!" Dean said as we were in the changing room and Harry was still on the pitch. It didn't make me smile though.
"Gin?" He asked.
"Don't call me that." I said calmly.
"Harry calls you that."
"You're not Harry."
"You love him right?"
I didn't respond. I didn't understand why he had to ruin it. We were having fun, it was great, and he just ruined it.
"He's the reason you rejected me." He added.
"I think it's always been Harry." I whispered.
He was about to say something but Harry stepped in. I suddenly realized everyone was watching us. Rachel, Cory, Sarah, and Ron. Harry looked confused, and raised his eyebrows.
How cute that was... shush Ginny. My conscience, always there.

"WHO WE FIGHTING FOR?!!"
"GRYFFINDOR!!! GIVE IT ALL FOR THE RED AND GOLD!!!!"
"WHO WE FLYING FOR!?!"
"GRYFFINDOR!!!! THIS IS BATTLE THIS IS WAR!!" we all shouted together, smiling.
The common room was becoming a dance floor. I was laughing with Hermione when I saw Harry talking to a girl. I furrowed my brows.
Hermione noticed and told me : "That's a 6th year. They are all into Harry. Well, almost all of them."
I sighed.
"Jealous?" She smirked.
"Me? No. No way. Why would I ever be- "
"Talk to him. He needs you."
"Then why doesn't he talk to me?"
"Because.. I don't know what happened between you, but he must feel guilty."
"He's not.."
"Tell him."
I sighed.
"That's what I'm gonna do.."
"When?"
"Right now." I replied.
She nodded.
I breathed in and walked towards him. The girl left looking sad.
"Why does she look so down?"
Harry turned around, and looked at me.
"She.... might be a bit disappointed. I guess."
"You said no?"
"Yeah.. that's quite it."
I felt a little awkward, but decided to go for it anyway.
"That was a great match."
"Yes you did great!"
"You too!"
We stayed there in silence. Okay, that was still awkward. I finally spoke.
"Harry..I.. would like it... if.. if we could talk to each other. You know, I mean, just.. be-"
"I'm sorry."
"About what?" I asked curiously.
"It's my fault.. I shouldn't have ignored you after what I did."
"But I ignored you too... and.. don't apologize about the kiss Harry."
"Why?"
"Because I... Do you really regret it?"
"I don't. But.. if you do.. then it's different."
"Why would I regret it?"
"What?"
"Harry..." I began "I don't regret it. I meant it. It's just that.. we didn't talk about it... and.. I couldn't have stood it if you had gone away to London for two weeks hating me."
"Hating you??" He said, shocked. "I could never hate you. Even if I wanted to."
"I ... I just thought.."
"Ginny.. I will never hate you.. Im sorry I made you feel that way.. I just... I just didn't know what to say.."
"It's okay... I was just overreacting... I guess."
"Yeah.. so was I." he whispered.
"Yeah.."
He looked away, then back at me.
"Seeing as it's a party... shall we dance?" He asked, smiling a little.
"I can't see why not!" I said, feeling lighter. And with that we danced, laughing and joking. I was relieved. Seeing Harry smile made me feel so content.
***
"I'm so proud of youuu!" Yelled a drunk Melissa at me.
"What??"
"You talked to hiiiiim!!! And he asked you to daaaaaance!!!!"
I burst out lauhing. She was so funny. She was dancing alone.
"Melissa?? You should go to bed."
"Yeeaaaaah gooood ideaaaaaa Gin Gin!!"
Gin Gin? I laughed, and dragged her upstairs.
"I'm not sleepyyyyyy!! MWAHA IM NOT GONNA SLEEP GIN GIN!!!"
"Shut it!!" I laughed.
"Can I tell you a secret Ginervaaaaaaaaa?"
"My name is GineVRa!! And don't call me that!"
"Fine! I won't tell you the secreeeeet !"
"I don't care!!"
"Okay I will tell you if you insist!!" She smiled.
"Melissa, please." l sighed.
"I think Dean is very hoooooooooot!!! I liiike hiim!!! Do you think he likes me? "
"Ohhh" I faked a smile "Of course he does!" I felt bad for her.
"Oh!! Do you think I should go and talk to hiiiiiiiim now?????" She said getting up.
"NO!" I yelled, pushing her on the bed. "Eheh... I think he is sleeping... you'll talk to him tomorrow..." I said, almost sure that she wouldn't remember anything.
"Yeaaaaaah that's what I'll dooo! !! Thanks Giiiinnny!!! "
"Youre welcome... now SLEEP!"
"Yeeeah that's what I'll do!!"
