Starstruck Hufflepuff (Ginny)

[Deleted]

(This takes place following the Italy vacation)

Nina was glad to be home. She was a big family person and she missed her dad and mum a lot. Her brother she loved, but didn't have to miss as he went to Hogwarts too. It was good to have meals and walks with them again, and to catch up on what went on in each others' lives.

Nina was also happy to be able to hang about Diagon Alley again. Treats from the Bonfire Bakery, visiting the animals and buying Amadeus playthings at the Menagerie, and of course trips to the Quality Quidditch Supplies. She had done all three that day, and now she and her chimp were looking about at the newest brooms.

What Nina didn't realize that day was that she was going to encounter her idol. In her opinion, the greatest Quidditch Player of the age and the one who's team she wanted to join when she graduated. This idol of course was none other than the great Ginevra Potter- Captain and Center Chaser of the Wimbourne Wasps!!!

But for the moment, she was discussing what broom to buy with Amadeus.

"So which one do you think?" she asked. "The new Nimbus or the new Silver Arrow?"

"If you're using them for more of that Quidditch Playing, I don't want you to buy either," said the chimp. Nina gave him the look. "Oh fine, the lovely one on the left."

"Nimbus it is!" laughed Nina.

Won't you Fly with me?

 

Ginny had, of course, become extra wary about going out ever since her son’s accident. James was still in a lot of pain and was having a hard time just getting around. She wished more than anything that she had tried harder to talk him out of going to Italy with his friends. She wanted him to be at home where she could take care of him. The day he came back, was a day where a lot of weight was able to be pulled off of Ginny’s chest. She was just glad her son was alive. And she knew that before too long he would be able to go back to his old life. She just wished that day would come sooner.

Though Ginny knew she couldn’t stay confined to her house, even though she didn’t work anymore, Ginny still liked to get out of the house and walk around. Ginny still wasn’t the best with house work, or cooking, but her husband seemed to like it all well enough that Ginny felt as if she was doing alright. She decided to pop into DIagon Alley for a few cookbooks and maybe a new set of potion ingredients. While she was in school, Ginny had despised potions. She couldn’t think of a reason why she would ever need to use them in her actual life. Boy had she been wrong. Ginny brewed potions nearly every day for misc. needs. She was glad to have the skills that she did have.

While she passed by the Quidditch shop, Ginny couldn’t help but pause and look through the window. James was following in her footsteps had had accepted an offer to play Professional Quidditch just as soon as he was able to get back on a broom again. Ginny couldn’t have been more proud of her son. She was sure Albus and Lily would make her proud as well once they graduated and decided on their job, but it was James’ turn first. He would be a seeker, just like his father had been. Ginny walked into the shop, considering buying her son a new snitch just for the symbolism in it all.

Nina was looking over the Nimbuses to see exactly which one she wanted as even the same brands had slight differences. She heard the bell as the store entrance ring, indicating that someone had come into the store. Nina had a habit of looking up to see who came in out of reaction, and would usually go back to her business right after. But not this time. This time, she almost fell over.

"Amadeus... do you know who that is?" she asked her chimp.

"No," said the chimp.

"Oh you're not even looking at her," said Nina. "That's Ginny Weasley... THE Ginny Weasley!"

"Wonderful... who's Ginny Weasley?" asked the chimp. Nina sighed.

"Only the greatest Quidditch Player of all time!" she said. "And my personal heroine!"

"I see," said Amadeus. "Well go meet her!" Nina nodded and headed over to do so.

It was funny. Nina was friends with Ginny's niece, Roxy, but she was still starstruck at the sight of the woman. She tried to think of what to say as she approached so she wouldn't be staring at Ginny like a loonbag.

"Um... Ginny Weasley?" she finally said. "I'm a fan. I... I mean I'm Nina Devoll. But I'm also a fan."

Fail. Amadeus facepalmed.
