... interested, and able to get Cho involved as well, as she was the fifth year girl Prefect for Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw was a bit more of a challenge, but Ginny was able to ask Luna for a word a lunch on Saturday. The flighty girl was a bit of a mystery to Harry, but he liked her well enough. He had to decipher her response, but around the mention of various mythical creatures, he was able to discern that she was willing to help, though she didn't think many of her housemates would listen to her. Cedric found them after supper that night, and asked for a few more details before he grinned. "This sounds like a great idea, Harry. Hogwarts could use a little inter-house unity. Do you have anyone for Ravenclaw yet? Susan mentioned that was a trouble spot for you." Harry and Ginny looked at each other. "We've spoken with Luna Lovegood," Ginny replied. "She wants to help, but she doesn't think the Ravenclaw students will listen to her." Cedric nodded. "I'll talk to Cho," he said.

From what I've gathered, winning through force just seems beneath him." Ginny nodded, and complimented his observation skills. Harry looked down, ashamed all of a sudden. "I'm pretty used to noticing things," he admitted quietly as they opened the doors and stepped out onto the lawn. "I had to know when Uncle Vernon was just going to deliver a slap or a punch, or if he was going in for the serious punishments. Usually, that depended on how angry he was." Ginny felt upset with herself for bringing it up, but didn't want to offer an apology, as she knew from their conversations that he hated when people apologized for things they had nothing to do with. So the two just walked in silence down to the Pitch. Luck was with them, and Ginny once more silently praised Harry's deduction skills, as she saw Blaise Zabini flying around, with Daphne Greengrass sitting in the stands, a book propped on her lap. Daphne looked up, eyes narrowing as she stood up, wand in hand watching the two Gryffindors approach. Harry held up his hands in a peaceful manner, showing her that he was unarmed. "We just want to talk, Daphne," he said calmly. Daphne glowered. "So ...
