Chapter 45: Herbology (1/2)
Next Morning Chris, Ginny and Colin entered the Great Hall and took their second-year time-table from Professor McGonagall.
”Aghh!” Chris made a face in irritation. ”Our first-class is Herbology. I can't do this.”
”Herbology is a good subject, Chris,” Ginny said eating her breakfast.
”But I don't like it,” Chris answered.
”And it's double Herbology,” Colin said chuckling.
”Colin, don't, or I'll never help you at potions,” Chris said with a cold stare.
”Sorry!” Colin said hurriedly and concentrated on his breakfast.
”It's ok Chris. You will survive.” Ginny said smiling. ”And look we have our Defence Against the Dark Arts class after Lunch.”
”Great! This day couldn't get better.” Chris said sarcastically and put her head on the table.
”Why? Is it because you snapped at Professor Lupin yesterday?” Colin grinned.
”COLIN!” Chris said angrily.
Ginny laughed.
”Forget it, Harry, Dad had to go out to Azkaban one time, remember, Fred? And he said it was the worst place he'd ever been. He came back all weak and shaking… They suck the happiness out of a place, Dementors. Most of the prisoners go mad in there.” Chris heard George speaking to Harry, a little far on the table.
”Anyway, we'll see how happy Malfoy looks after our first Quidditch match,” said Fred. ”Gryffindor versus Slytherin, the first game of the season, remember?”
Chris perked up hearing them.
”Do you want to try for Quidditch this year?” She said suddenly changing her expression into a grin.
The spoon fell from Ginny's hand. Colin gave multiple expressions: surprised, thoughtful and happy.
”But we're just in the second year Chris,” Ginny said quietly.
”Harry was in the first year when he joined the team,” Chris replied.
”But he is different,” Ginny grimaced.
”He is not any different exotic animal, Ginny. He is also a human like us.”
”But —?”
”Ginny, it's your childhood dream to play Quidditch. C'mon, it'll be fun. I'm trying.” Chris said smiling.
”You are?” Ginny looked surprised.
”Yep.”
”For what? I mean Gryffindor Quidditch team have very good players. We'll not able to beat them.” Ginny said sceptically.
”Ginny! Let's try at least. I'll try for a chaser. You?” Chris said.
”C'mon Ginny. It's just a trial.” Colin said enthusiastically.
Ginny sighed.
