The other students looked horrified as it appeared that Harry was about to land in the lake, at the very last possible moment, Harry pulled his right foot and the head of the broom up as he pushed his left foot and the back of the broom down. He changed directions and thankfully ended up going sideways instead of crashing straight into the lake. His broom did skim the water but luckily that was it, he flew over to everyone and flipped off of his broom, he caught it as it fell down.
Ginny looked amused along with the rest of the quidditch team, the girls looked at Harry with wonder and awe, Krum looked amazed.
"You are amazing!" Krum exclaimed, it wasn't often that the man showed emotion but he couldn't help it "I've never seen flying like that, have you considered playing professionally?"
"Maybe in the future" Harry shrugged "I love Quidditch with a passion but I have important things I need to do before I even consider playing" He gave Ginny a knowing look, before he and Krum discussed Quidditch for the next hour.
Ginny joined in the conversation as well, along with the quidditch team. She was a bit annoyed when she noticed all the girls staring at Harry, she knew there was no chance of him cheating on her but she couldn't help it, it was almost a territorial feeling. The quidditch team came to her rescues by standing in-between Harry and the girls.
The next day Harry and Ginny sat at the Gryffindor table for breakfast, Krum and Fleur joined them. Ron fortunately took the hint that he wasn't wanted and sat on the opposite end of the table. Krum was enjoying his conversation with Harry, he found Harry to be very interesting, he was young but skilled and he knew how Krum felt about quidditch and fame. Fleur was also of a similar opinion, Harry looked at her as if she was a person and not a piece of meat, he also seemed trustable not to do anything with an evil intent.
"Who is that girl?" Krum asked when he noticed Hermione sit next to Ron
"Hermione Granger" Ginny growled
"You do not like her?" Fleur asked
"No I don't" Ginny violently stabbed her food "when she's not failing to get us in trouble she tries to steal Harry from me, even when Harry made it clear that he doesn't like her. She always talks to us as if we should listen to her every word, like she's better than us. You know she actually told people that Harry needed her because she's the self-proclaimed 'smartest witch in her year'.
She's not even that, I beat her in every class and so does Harry, she also keeps trying to tell us what to do. She tried to force Harry to get rid of his house elves even though they're happy and love working for Harry, she actually pestered us so much that the teachers had to tell her to stay away.
That's not even the worst part, she keeps trying to get with Harry even though I'm here, I see her constantly batting her eyes at him and trying to talk to him"
"Sweet-heart" Harry placed a hand on hers "you're ranting"
"Sorry" Ginny apologized "she just gets on my nerves"
"Is she really that bad?" Victor looked disappointed
"Victor" Ginny spoke softly "when she's not trying to shout at me and Harry for doing something she doesn't approve of then she's trying to make him like her. This is our fourth year and she still won't leave us alone"
"Girls accuse me of trying to steal their boyfriends" Fleur spoke "you are saying she is actually trying to do that"
"Yes" Ginny nodded "she's obsessed, what makes it worse is I think my brother likes her but she's too busy looking at Harry to notice."
"This brother of yours" Fleur spoke "are you sure you are related? Besides the hair I see no similarity, you are kind and understanding yet he is for lack of better words an arse"
"I've wondered about that as well" Harry chuckled "next to me I have red headed perfection, over there is a red headed idiot"
"I think it's because of my family and his own stupidity and insecurity's" Ginny explained "all of my brothers have made names for themselves doing something or another, the twins are known as the fun loving pranksters. My brother Percy was the prefect, head boy and now works at the ministry, my brother Charlie was the quidditch team Capitan who now works with dragons in Romania. Then there's my oldest and favorite brother Bill"
"You'd like him" Harry commented, although he was looking at Fleur when he said that
"He was Head boy in school" Ginny continued "then he moved to Egypt to be a curse breaker for Gringotts, when my brother sees them he gets annoyed at how they've all made names for themselves but he hasn't. Then there's me and I'm the only girl so I already stood out even before I became the best witch in my year. What he fails to realise is we've put effort into achieving our goals, he's just hoping everything gets handed to him.
That's why he's so jealous of me and Harry, he thinks that everything was handed to us. Like I had any choice in if I was a girl or not, not like Harry had any choice in getting attacked when he was a baby. He thinks the teachers do us favours because we're Harry potter and his girlfriend, he either doesn't realise or believe that we had to earn everything. My dad's alright"
"One of, in not the, nicest person I've ever met" Harry added
"I'll tell him you said that" Ginny smiled "the problem is that he doesn't make a lot of money which has left Ron wanting preciously that, the second problem is because he's nice he gets rolled over by my mum. My mum…well she seems nice enough but some of her beliefs are a bit old fashioned"
"Old fashioned?" Krum prompted
"Well for one she believes all girls should be good little house wives, she's hoping that I get married and settle down with kids then spend the rest of my life cleaning and cooking. She discourages me from being anything else, like the only thing I'm good for is producing babies"
"That is horrible" Fleur hissed
"I know" Ginny nodded "if it wasn't for Harry I'd go crazy, he very supportive and told me I could be anything I want"
"As long as you don't die at the end of the day and are happy, then I'm happy" Harry replied "I trust you to know what you can and can't do, and I trust you to have reasonable goals"
"Thank you sweetie" Ginny smiled before continuing "my mother is nowhere near as supportive, she is such a control freak and everything has to be the way she wants. Everyone apart from Ron is getting a bit tired of it, and dad can't really stand up to her. She went into a two hour long lecture when the twins said they wanted to open a prank shop, she constantly argues with Bill and Charlie about their jobs and you should have seen her when Percy wanted to move out.
