Chapter 5
Rating- R
Dedicated- To my mommy and daddy, because without them I would not be here! LOL!
Ginny woke up and yawned. She was about to go back to sleep when suddenly a thought hit her: It's Christmas!
Ginny jumped out of bed and woke Natalie up.
"Get up! It's Christmas!" she cried happily. "Wake up Natalie!"
"I'm up, I'm up! Jesus!"
Ginny ran to her pile of presents and chose the first one.
She got the normal Weasley package, a white sweater with a red R, and fudge, a bracelet from Bill, dragon scales from Charlie, and a book about cauldrons from Percy ("how exiting"! Ginny said without much enthusiasm to Percy's gift) Socks from Ron sugar quills from Hermione and a card from Harry. ("How thoughtful" she commented dryly) There was one package left. She picked it up and opened it and there it was! What she wanted so badly since she saw them! Natalie had given her a pair of beautiful gold drop earrings with garnets inside, after all the garnet was her birthstone. Ginny took out her own earrings and put the new ones on. She gave Natalie the biggest hug ever.
"I love you!" Ginny told her happily
"I know you do, and I'm hungry so let's go eat!" she said

Draco woke up not even half as excited as Ginny.
"Christmas" he said out loud "may actually be the most annoying holiday of the year!"
"Nah" said Jeffery Draco's roommate "Lent is!"
The boys in the room laughed and Draco smirked. He went to open his presents.
He got the newest broomstick, a Slammer6000 from his father, and a package of food from his mother. That was all he was really expecting, but then he saw a little red wrapped package. He picked up the letter and started to read it.
Draco,
Thank you so much for buying the dress, I really appreciate it!
Ginny Weasley
Draco smirked it was probably some hand knitted small thing she made. He opened it and was extremely surprised to find a beautiful glass dragon. He turned it upside down.
Stupid weasel he thought, she left the price tag on!
224 Galleons? His mind screamed. Where the hell did she get that kind of money? He sighed it cost much more then the dress and he knew he had to get her something in return. He thought about it for a while and got the perfect answer!

Ginny and Natalie sat in the Great hall discussing the quidditch match that was to be played today, Gryffindor versus Slytherin.
"You really should have tried out for chaser Gin" Natalie said as Collin sat down next to them.
"Yea" said Collin "you would have been awesome, try out next year!"
Ginny just shrugged "I don't know."
They weren't able to convince her anymore because the mail started flying in. There was this one owl that soared in gracefully it was a silver gold color. It flew high above the tables looking for whom the letter went to. It made a beautiful dive down toward the Gryffindor table and landed right in front of Ginny Weasley.
Ginny gasped. She took the letter attached to the leg of the owl.
She's yours. That was all it said. Ginny stroked the owl.
"Hello love, what's your name?" The owl just nipped her fingers. "Is ginger all right, love? She asked the owl. The owl just hooted softly. Ginny smiled, she finally had an owl of her own. The owl ate at her breakfast and then like all the other owls, left.
Ginny, Natalie and Colin got up.
"Make sure to get good seats so you can watch me" Colin said.
Ginny and Natalie laughed.
They went to the Gryffindor stands and sat down.
Gabriel Jordon, Lee's younger brother had become the announcer after his brother left.
"And, there off!" he cried dramatically. "Seamus Finnegan has the ball; he passes to Dean Thomas who passes it to Lavender Brown, but OH! Intercepted by Blaise Zabini, Zabini is flying up the middle, Colin Creevey hits a bludger at him, causing him to drop the ball, Brown fly's down to it charging past the other players she grabs the ball and unlike Zabini fly's along the side she fakes left but throws it right Oh! GOAL!! 10 to nothing Gryffindor! Draco Malfoy heads into a dive, he looks like he sees the snitch, wow that's one hell of a nice broom, anyway Potter looks like he's catching up, Draco Malfoy pulls up quickly, the wronskie feint but Harry Potter was not quick enough he comes spiraling down, that's going to hurt in the morning! Potter fly's back up into the air, concentrating now on only finding the snitch. Thomas is flying towards the goal, Crabbe hit a bludger at him, and it hits Dean in the stomach! Holy shit! He's falling off his broom!"
Professor McGonagall didn't even bother yelling at him for his language. The professors ran down to the pitch, and brought Dean to Madame Pomfrey.
She went over to Harry.
"You may want to hold tryouts for your team Mr. Potter."
"Is Dean okay?" Harry asked worriedly.
"He is fine; he just may never be able to fly again, even with magic!"
Harry sighed "all right professor"
"The match has been postponed until further notice" called McGonagall.
Natalie punched Ginny on the arm.
"This is your chance Gin, tryout!"
"I don't know Natalie, I feel bad!"
Natalie sighed "We'll find out when tryouts are and then I'll come and cheer you on, no buts!" Natalie said when she saw Ginny opening her mouth.
"Fine" Ginny said grumpily.
Natalie smiled "its cold" she said happy now that she got her way "lets go in."
A figure in shadows smiled wickedly knowing his master would be pleased
~~~~~~
Voldemort sighed. This proved that if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.
"And what McNair possessed you to think that I care even a little about that girl? He asked coldly.
McNair shivered. "I thought she was in the prophecy my lord"
Voldemort had a thoughtful look on his face. "Get out" he hissed at McNair, who scrambled out of the room as fast as he could.
Nagini slithered in, hissing.
"Really, my pet?" Voldemort asked her. The snake hissed in response. He nodded back at the snake. "In time my pet, all in good time."
~~~
The posters were up, tryouts are today at 1:00 o'clock, and right now it was 12:45 and Ginny Weasley was getting ready. She walked down to the pitch wondering if she had ever been this nervous, when they got there Natalie kissed her on the cheek.
"You'll be fine" she soothed. Ginny took a deep breath and walked to where all the other Gryffindor who were trying out were standing.
Harry walked to the front and cleared his voice explaining to them how tryouts would work.
"As you all know you are trying out for the chaser position, and only one of you will make it. The whole team will be watching you and will choose the best player at the position. You will play with Seamus and Lavender. First up is Lila Martin."
Lila was good but not amazing, next was Jason Larne, he too was good. Gary Mandelstam went next, and he flew with such grace and ease that it would be amazing for anyone else to get it, but the team had to continue with tryouts. Ginny was next, and she had begged her mom for a new broom, and so for her 15th birthday got a Nimbus 2000. Ginny mounted her broom and flew up in the air. Seamus passed her the quaffle and she caught it with ease, Ron was in goal and Collin was hitting bludgers at people. Ginny dodged the bludgers and passed the ball quickly to Lavender, who flew around with it before passing it back to Ginny. Ginny caught the ball and stared ahead defiantly, she would make the team and no Gary Mandlecrap was going to get in her way. She flew to the goal post and faked right it seemed as if Ron was expecting this move and flew to the left goal post, Ginny in record time switched her throw, making the ball go into the right hoop. Seamus retrieved the ball and threw it to Lavender, who passed to Ginny; Ginny once again flew it down to the goal post and went as if to shoot, but passed to Seamus who quickly scored. Ginny then had to fly down because her tryout time was over.
~~~~
The team was in the locker room discussing who would be the new chaser. It was a tie between Ginny and Gary. Gary was a better shooter, but Ginny was a better flyer and passer. The whole team talked it over for a while before deciding the outcome, Ginny Weasley was to become the new chaser for the Gryffindor team.
~~~
In the Gryffindor common room everybody was celebrating on Ginny being made the new chaser. Ginny smiled and thanked people who came up to her and gave her their congratulations. She was game of exploding snap when a shadow loomed over her; she looked up and smiled sweetly.
"Hello Gary" she said "you played very well today at tryouts"
Gary just grunted a thank you, and muttered you too. They asked him to join their game of exploding snap but he declined shaking his head, and going over to sit near the fireplace.
It was around 11 o'clock when they decided to call it a night. Ginny went to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
~~~~
"Please Tom! You told me we were friends! You said you would never hurt me! Tom you promised!" sobbed the eleven year old girl.
"Fool" the older boy hissed "I never promised such things! I promised that I was you friend, but I never said you were mine! Stupid little girl"
The tears were coming harder down the girls' cheeks, as she whispered her final plea not to be broken. The boy, laughed.
"Crucio" he cried. The girl struggled against the curse trying hard not to cry out, to show him that he won. She bit her lip until it bled, and she couldn't take it anymore with one final scream she blacked out.
Ginny Weasley sat upright in her bed sweating profusely, fear written on her face and in her eyes. She looked at her watch; it was one o'clock in the morning. Ginny got up and out of bed and went down to the kitchen. She tickled the pear and went in. The house elves brought her food until she had, had enough when all of a sudden she heard voices. The transformed herself into her Nundu form, and hid in the shadows.
"Your falling for her aren't you?" said a female voice.
"I am not!" replied a male voice.
"You are so! Who would ever thought it? A Malfoy, having a crush on that!"
"Oh fuck off Pansy, it's not like you don't have a crush on her brother!
Ginny silently gasped. Was it possible?
Pansy turned red at Draco's comment.
"You don't even know her" Pansy retaliated. "You just want a piece of ass!"
Draco just shrugged shamefully "no."
Pansy stuttered "B-b-but you-you-you don't even know her? It-it isn't possible!"
"I never said I loved her" he bit out nastily.
"Yes but you like her, and isn't it the same?" she asked him.
"No!" he replied as if she were stupid
"Whatever" she said
The voices faded, and the Nundu came out of hiding and went back to the tower. She transformed back and went into her room to think about what she had just overheard. Draco Malfoy likes her? It couldn't be! They were probably talking about someone else.
But you know for a fact that Pansy has a crush on your brother said a voice in her head.
Pansy is a slut said another voice, who doesn't she have a crush on? Ginny shook her head, trying to clear it; she fell back asleep having strange dreams in which she was riding Dragons

A/N That last bit was not supposed to have any sexual connotations to it! Also, can anyone tell me what the hits are? I don't get it? Is it how many people read my story? If anyone could answer I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you all for R/Ring. If the story is moving to fast can you tell me? Thanks! Sorry this took so long to post! Now since school is starting I may only be able to post once a week or once every 2 weeks!
