Today's the big day. My family is coming. Wow. Okay I'm nervous. Mione and I walked down the corridor, and into the hall. Harry caught up right as we walked in. Everyone but Slytherin cheered. Slytherin booed and hissed, and Malfoy threw something at me, but I caught it and threw it back, which got more cheers. Hedwig and Brownie swooped in. They had big packages and they dropped them in front of Harry and I.

"It's a broom!" Harry shouted, opening his.

"Uhm, look again. That's a Nimbus 2000!" I watched our owls fly to McGonagall. "Thank you!" I mouthed. She nodded at me with a small smile. We sat down beside Ron, but neither of us ate. We sat in silence, picking at the food on our plate.

"Come on you two. You have to eat something!" Ron whined. "Come on sis, please?" He shoved food towards me, but I ignored it.

"I'm just not hungry Ron!" Harry sighed, pushing his plate away. I shook my head.

"Me either!" Mione gave me a pointed look.

"Are you okay Gracel-" she paused. I nodded quickly, we ignored the looks from Harry and Ron.

"Just jitters, that's all!" I smiled at her, but still ignored my food. Snape came up and was taunting Harry and I, but I was tuned out. I wasn't going to listen to him. I was still considering hexing him like Dad asked, even though I know he doesn't mean it. Then I caught the bite on Snape's leg.

When he walked away, I turned to Harry. "Did you see it?" He nodded, looking back at a limping Snape.

"He tried to get through to whatever that dogs guarding!"

"Why on earth would anyone want to get near that dog?" Hermione asked, dropping her voice into a whisper.

"Don't know, but I'm going to find out!" I said, then stood up. "Come on Harry. It's time to go!" He stood up and we walked out together.

*******************************************

"Oliver!" I whined. We were getting ready to go out and he just told Harry and I a story about getting knocked out by a bludger in his first match and being in the hospital wing for a week.

"Sorry!"

"Gryffindor!" It was time to go. We mounted and flew out, getting in position. I looked around, I found Ron and Mione with my family. They all waved and Uncle Lupin looked proud. And he had a camera. So did Mione. Good.

"I want a good clean game, from all of you!" Madam Hooch's words brought me back to the match. I caught Harry's eye, he nodded at me so I nodded back. The whistle blew and Angelina got the quaffle. No one was after me so I flew around.

"Angelina!" She looked and threw it to me. I caught it, sat back, threw it and scored. Angelina and Katie flew by, giving me a high five.

"Point Gryffindor from our newest chaser, first year, Gracie Weasley!" Lee's voice was heard over the pitch. Marcus had the quaffle, as practiced, I flew under him, snuck up, and grabbed it, then passed it off to Katie, who scored. I cheered with the others.

Angelina scored, then Katie, then me, then Katie, then me, then Angelina. "Angelina has the quaffle, she's going, she's going!" Marcus boxed her in along with their other chasers. I flew after them, aiming to split them up, but I was a second to late, they made her crash. She was down. I flew after Marcus, stole the quaffle and scored.

He looked a me with a death glare, I smirked and waved at him. I heard some laughs from the crowd. "Looks like Potter's seen something!" I saw Harry, flying towards the Slytherin goal post. I was brought back to reality by a bludger. I leaned back and laid flat against my broom until it flew over my head. The position hurt a lot. I sat up to see Marcus glaring at me with a beater stick in his hand. His team had scored while this little exchange was going on. I saw Fred send a bludger at Marcus, it hit him in the side, sending him flying.

"Alright sis?" The twins flew up beside me. I nodded with a smile. They nodded back and flew off. The Slytherin beater hit Wood, so he was out and they score more. I caught the quaffle, Katie and I passed it back and forth. I had it when I saw Harry dangling from his broom, no wonder everyone got quiet. I raced towards him, grabbed his leg and flung him back up.

"You promised Potter!" I yelled, flying away.

"So did you!" He yelled, a bludger came at me and hit my arm. I nearly screamed, but held it in. Harry came at me. "Gracie!"

"Get the bloody snitch Potter!" I snarled, flying away. I cradled my arm, but kept the quaffle all the same. "Katie!" I yelled. She flew up beside me. "Here!" I passed it to her and she scored again. Then I saw Harry, the snitch was right there, he had it he had it! "Harry!" I yelled. He flipped over the front of his broom and rolled. He looked like he was going to be sick.

He threw up. No he didn't. What is that? "He's got it! Harry Potter's got the golden snitch!" Lee announced. The crowd burst into cheers. I did too, but nearly fell off my broom because my arm.

"Go Harry!" I yelled, flying back down. We ran at each other and he picked me up, hugging me tight. I giggled, but when his arm touched mine I yelped in pain. The team gathered round and Oliver looked at my arm. When he touched it I flinched. "Ouch! Would you be careful!" I snapped.

"Oi! We told you to stay near us!" The twins yelled. They were mad. My face paled and I hid behind Harry, but he stepped away and stood beside them.

"You promised Gracie!" He crossed his arms and glared at me.

"I'm fine! Relax! It's just a bit sore!" I sighed, but I didn't move my arm, just cradled it to my body. Mione and my family came up behind me. Ginny, Mione, and everyone else basically hugged me all at once, but my arm got crushed. "Ow!" I whimpered, trying to be quiet, but it didn't work.

"Mum! She's hurt! I knew it!" Ginny yelled, she had tears on her face. "I saw it hit you! But they all said you didn't make a noise so you were okay!" She cried.

"Awe! Gin! I'm okay! See!" I stretched out my arm, but it cracked more, so I jerked it back with a yelp. She hugged me from the side, crying some more. "It's okay!" I tried to soothe my little sister, stroking her hair softly while Mum and the Professors checked out my arm.

"It's broken. She'll have to see Madam Pomfrey!" McGonagall said. The team all groaned, so I sent them away, telling them all I was fine. Everyone else was already inside, celebrating. The professors left too. Now it was the Weasley's, Mione, Harry, Uncle Lupin, and me left on the pitch.

"March young lady!" Mum pointed towards the castle. Mione and Ginny walked beside me, they acted as if it was my leg that was broken and followed me up the steps, making sure I didn't fall.

"Who was that git that hit her?" Charlie snapped from somewhere behind me. Bill grunted.

"Marcus Flint. Seventh year, captain of the Slytherin team!" The twins chorused. Harry and Ron were grinding their teeth and Mum tutted. Ginny was still sniffling and Dad and Lupin looked angry.

"Guys. Really. I'm fine! Madam Pomfrey will have it fixed with in the hour!" Hermione pushed the door open as I spoke. Madam Pomfrey rushed over.

"They said you'd be here! Come along. Lay down here!" She bustled off to her office and everyone sat around me.

"I've missed you!" Ginny lay down beside me and snuggled into my side. I hugged her with my good arm.

"I missed you too Ginny! I want you to meet my friends!" I sat up quickly. "This is M-" Madam Pomfrey stuck something in my mouth in the middle of a word. The nastiest taste in the world swirled my mouth. I made a face and everyone but we laughed.

"Swallow!" I groaned, but swallowed it.

"Blech! That was horrible!" I swiped at my mouth. "Blech!" Ginny giggled beside me and Charlie and Bill laughed. Madam Pomfrey said I can leave as soon as its done. Bout half an hour.

"Anyway! This is Hermione, but I just call her Mione. And this, is Harry!" I pointed at the two of them and smiled brightly. They both waved shyly. "Awe say hi guys!" Mione did so but Harry blushed and started mumbling. Mum grabbed them both in hugs and everyone else shook their hand.

"Well dear, we have to get going. Are you going to be alright?" Mum asked, placing a hand on my forehead.

"I told you all, I'm fine!" I smiled up at her. She nodded and pulled me into a death hug.

"If she can survive Snape an his truth potion she can survive this!" Ron mumbled. I shot him a glare, that had nothing to do with this. He knew they'd hear him and he wants me in trouble.

"What?" Uncle Lupin stepped forward, looking confused.

"Well um, you see. He accused me of having help on my essay when I didn't and we had a um, discussion, and he docked points for 'lying' so he gave me vertaseum to see if I told the truth. Which I did. I had no help," I grumbled, crossing my arms.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lupin asked, looking annoyed. I shrugged my shoulders.

"It just happened yesterday."

"Hmm. Well, I have to go. Write me soon okay?" I nodded. Uncle Lupin hugged me then left, along with Bill and Charlie, who had to go to work tomorrow. Mum and Dad stayed a bit longer, but still had to go. By the time they were gone, I could leave.

"What do you say Gin? How bout we go to the Great Hall and get dinner?" I asked, flexing my arm. She nodded, smiling at me still. "Oh, wait! Do me a favor Gin?" She nodded. "Use Mione's camera to take a picture of us?" She nodded. "Come on guys!" Ron and Harry came over, and after she showed Ginny what to do, so did Mione. I'm the shortest so I was in the middle.

Hermione stood on my right and Harry on my left. Ron stood on the other side of Hermione. Ginny flashed the picture then handed it over. "Wait! Let me take one of each of you together!" Mione said. I sighed, but nodded.

"Come here Gin!" She came over and I placed an arm around her shoulders, and hers went around my waist. 'Flash'. Then Ron, who did the same pose as Ginny and I. 'Flash'. Mione came next, and we stood face to face, hugging each other while looking towards the camera. 'Flash'. Finally it was Harry's turn. Mione decided on the pose. Harry stood behind me, with his arms wrapped around my waist and his head on my shoulder. My hands laid on top of his and I leaned into him, of course I blushed like mad. 'Flash'. He let go and stood beside me. He held one hand, and Ginny climbed on my back for a piggy back ride.

"Lets go eat!" Ron cheered. We all laughed and ran to the Great Hall.
