Before I post Chapter 25, I want to say thank you to all of you for reading and sorry to you if you was reading my other FF, Now and Forever, and if this FF is a bit too long winded for you...

Anyway, The story!

As Harry walked away with her brothers, Ginny turned to start looking for Ron and Hermione. As sh reached the back door, she heard Harry shout something to her. She waved her hand and opened the door.

She descended the steps and walked into the garden, looking round her for any sign of her brother or her best friend.

"HERMIONE! RON! ARE YOU OUT HERE?" She shouted as she reached the bushes that run round the edge of the garden. Nothing. Ginny shook her head and headed off towards the other side of the house.

As she passed the open kitchen window, she heard Fred laughing and George talking. She stopped and listened as Harry' voice washed over her.

"Well... I've been busy doing other things you know! Don't pull that face Fred! It's not all spending time with Ginny! I've been doing homework, helping out around the house and other stuff! It's not my fault I forgot my birthday is it!"

Shaking with silent giggles, Ginny moved away from the house and started off towards the orchard they use to play Quidditch. She was half way there when voices caught her ear.

"It's not that hard Hermione! Just throw it!" Ron's voice, carried to her on wind, sounded amused as Hermione's voice echoed over the field.

"It IS that hard Ron! How can I throw a ball and not fall twenty feet towards the ground at the same time! Why did I even say that I'd help you practice Quidditch anyway!" Her voice sounded upset and moody, which Ron's laughter was probably the cause of.

"RON! HERMIONE! YOU OVER HERE?" Ginny shouted out so that they knew she was near. She heard a 'Yeah' from Ron and heard Hermione call her.

"Ginny! Come here!" Ginny smiled and walked into the clearing. Above her was Ron, hovering near the tree they used as goal posts, and Hermione holding a ball, well it was really an apple, swaying from side to side and holding onto the broom for dear life.

"What?" Ginny questioned as she tried to control her laughter as Ron had to help Hermione towards the ground.

"You practice with him... Why are you shaking your head?" Hermione said as her hands rested on her hips and she glared at Ginny.

"I can't. I've got stuff to do and I promised Harry that w would all play together and Harry's waiting for us up at th house..." Hermione looked at hr with an eyebrow raised "Okay, I've run out of excuses but I'm still not doing it! Anyway, Harry and I come back from th village and you two are on. We run into Fred and George who tell us you disappeared when you spoke privatively earlier on... So spill the gossip" Ginny said to Hermione as they walked back to the house together and left Ron to put the brooms away.

Sorry if it's not very good... My dad only gave me 15 minutes on the computer
