Temporary Seeker

Ginny visited Draco whenever she could but she also kept to herself. On Dinner one day Draco came his right hand was in a bandage and sat down next to Ginny.

"How are you feeling?" Ginny asked.

"Better but I can't eat because my right hand is injured, would you be so dear and feed me."

"Idiot." Ginny muttered and said in her normal voice, "I'm not going to feed you."

"I'm sorry, I'm offended. It's like a dagger going threw my heart, it hurts, oh it hurts, please Weasley you are putting in-"

"Alright, Alright I'll feed you, just stop talking." Ginny snapped. Delphine, Pansy and Astoria , who were sitting across from them giggled. Crabbe and Goyal were letting out small snorts and Blaise was rolling on the floor, laughing. Just then the desserts came and Ginny took a tart. 

"Open up." She put the tart closer and closer and then put it on his face. All of the Slytherins who were near to watch were laughing, including Crabbe and Goyal. Draco looked dumbstruck and Ginny giggled.

When Dinner was over Ginny went to the dormitory with Astoria .

"Ginny, wow, you are brave." said Astoria

"Not brave enough though am I or else I wouldn't be here." said Ginny, "I wish I could change what happened that night when I got the sorting hat on my head."

"Do you or do you just wish that your family would accept that you are a Slytherin?" Astoria asked sitting on her bed.

"I guess the latter." said Ginny quietly, "What am I going to do?"

"Well you are going to stay with me for the summer and Hogwarts for the rest of the holydays."

"I guess you are right." said Ginny, "But cloths."

Astoria laughed "Listen we will get you cloths, you know what, I'm going to make my parents adopt you." Ginny, who had been lying on her bed lazily, sat upright, "Are you insane!" Ginny asked and Astoria laughed more.

"No but my family will love you. You are the head in all of the classes and you are doing better than that Granger anyway and trust me everyone is going to love you."

Next morning at breakfast Ginny was eating alone when, suddenly Marcus Flint joined her.

"Listen Weasley," he said the last word with disgust. Some people still hadn't gotten use to the idea of her being a Slytherin, "I don't know why I agree but you are going to be the seeker, Malfoy thinks you got potential and you are pretty, but Quidditch is more than a pretty face you know."

"I think, Quidditch is for boys, you never let girl join." said Ginny calmly eating her toast

"Consider yourself the first, practice is today after breakfast, see you."  and then he left. Ginny sighed. Draco Lucius Malfoy, she thought, You are about to die.

 Just then Draco Malfoy sat across from her and Ginny smiled and it was forced, "Draco, Draco, what am I going to do about you." she said. Draco back away slightly, "You are scaring me right now Weasley." he said, "Oh you need to be scared, you need to be really scared." 

Draco jumped up and said, "I did you a favor and this is how you repay me?"

"Oh dear Malfoy this, I don't even have a broom and you must not tell lies."

"Whose telling lies?" Blaise asked as he sat down next to Ginny, oblivious of Draco looking scared and Ginny's forced sweet smile.

"Draco is."

"Look I got you on the team, you like Quidditch."

"Yes, but you forgot, I don't have a broom and my family doesn't care."

"You keep on forgetting," said Blaise, his mouth full, "you are friends with rich people. Just use Draco's "

"Fine, I'll do it, but if I make fun of my self..."

"Offcours you won't. God please don't make her make fun of herself, for my sake." Blaise choked on his food from laughter. Ginny and Draco glared at him and he became quiet instantly.

"Alright we need Gryffindor to lose." said Marcus Flint, "So we need to sabotage and we also got a new seeker. Temporary Seeker, Ginny Weasley."

The rest of the team snickers.

"She can't even hold a ball, let alone a Snitch."

"She is just pretty, no wonder you chose her Flint."

"I bet you 100 gallons that she will not catch the Snitch in less than one minute."

"I say that she won't catch the Snitch in ten seconds."

"I bet she will take fifteen minutes to catch the snitch."

"I bet she will take sixty minutes."

"She is a girl, honestly, girls are for using not for playing Quidditch."

"You are betting now, but let's see her in action first." said Marcus taking out the snitch. "Catch it if you can Weasley." and he let go of it. Ginny gave it a head start and then jumped on her broom and she caught the snitch in,

"Three seconds and twelve milliseconds." Said Marcus, his mouth hanging open. The rest of the team began whispering again.

"Wow, did you see what she did."

"We are going to win, even Potter couldn't get the Snitch that fast."

"Weasley is our queen."

"She can catch the Snitch faster than Potter."

"I just said that."

"It's part of the song."

"Oh..."

"She is the best."

"Slytherin is the best."

"And sorry houses you lost you game."

"But maybe you should try with other houses."

"Because we will win every game."

"That doesn't rhyme you know."

"We will work on it."

Ginny was blushing furiously. Her training at night at the Burrow had paid off and now that she thought about it, how did Draco know about the fact that she loved Quidditch?How?

After practice Ginny met up with Delphine, Astoria and Pansy. All four of them went to the common room together and Ginny couldn't help talk on and on about Quidditch and how the team loved her and kept on telling that she couldn't even be beaten Potter. Finally Delphine snapped, "We get it, you had an amazing Quidditch, get over it."

"Sorry, but-"

"We know what you mean Ginny and we get it." said Pansy

"I know but-"

"If you say one more thing Quidditch, I'm going to hex you into tomorrow." said Astoria

"Alright, shesh, I was only saying-"

"Shut up!" all three of the other girls said

"What is the password?"

All three of the girls stared at her, dumb struck, 

"Oh, right, dumb struck." said Ginny and all four of them went inside the green common room. Draco was sitting talking with Crabbe and Goyal. His eyes met Ginny's and he gave a cocky grin.

"Hey, WEASLEY!" Shouted a boy, "I am Blaise Zabini, at your service."

Ginny crossed her arms and Blaise grinned, "So am I good at acting."

"You are terrible at it," Pansy muttered

"Aye, yes but, I generally attract ladies." He smiled at a group of girls and they began giggling. Blaise turn back to them, "So Weasley," He said kneeling on one leg, "Will you go out with me?"

"Let me think about it, no."

"You broke my heart, oh my poor heart, it is in pieces-"

"Oi! Stop copying, that's me."  Draco shouted from across the common room, "Right Weasley, you are our queen."

Ginny rolled her eyes but a smile was playing on her lips.

"Looks like news spread this far then." said Ginny

"Everyone knows you are going to beat Potter." said Blaise, still kneeling down

"Oh get up already." said Pansy, "You are being an idiot."

"Not until Ginny says yes."

"Ginny do you do not want to go out with Blaise." said Pansy

"Yes." Ginny replied and Blaise got up reluctantly, "I will never give up on you, not in a million years."

Delphine snorted, "You said that to practically every girl you asked out and has rejected you." she said and Astoria giggled.

"True but I haven't found the right girl for me, yet." said Blaise and got up to sit next to Crabbe.

"Oi, Weasley you are pretty, but Quidditch is more than a beautiful face!" a boy called out.

"But Weasley is our queen." said Marcus, "Malfoy is really good at choosing seekers."

"Weasley is our queen!" Shouted a boy

"She might be pretty," said a boy

"She might even go out with be," said another boy

"But she said no to Zabini!" chorused a group of girls

"True, but in a match," said another boy

"She will be fast," said another boy

"Faster than Potter," said a girl

"Because," said Blaise

"Weasley is our Queen!" Draco shouted

Soon everyone in the common room were singing the absurd song Weasley is our queen. Ginny was blushing hard from the praises she was getting. A little while later she got some time alone at the grounds. She sat by the lake.  Their she let out a sigh of relif. Nature always helped her relax. Then she heard some rustling and she turned her head to see a black dog.

"Hey," said Ginny quietly. The dog backed away, "Relax, I won't hurt you." The dog stopped but didn't come to greet Ginny.

"What's your name, Black," Ginny chuckled to herself, "I hope not, what about Snuffles, eh. You know Sirius Black was a Gryffindor, I kind of admire him for that, all his family was a Slytherin." The dog took the most tiniest step towards her, "I wish I was a Gryffindor, like I should be but instead I am a Slytherin, I never asked for this you know." Now the dog took two more steps towards Ginny, bigger steps than before. Ginny let out a sigh, "Now I'm talking to a dog about all my problems, terrific, right? But it's like you are a human being, like I think Sirius is innocent, it just doesn't make sense that he killed innocent muggles, I mean he is not an idiot and the only thing left of Peter Pettigrew was a finger? That is very strange." Now the dog came full on on Ginny, barking happily. 

"Get off, get off." said Ginny chuckling. Finally Snuffles got off her when Ginny said that she had to go to Lunch. By then Ginny was grinning broadly.

"You seem happy." Pansy commented

"Oh I think today is the best day of my life." said Ginny
