... nodded. "You are correct. However, I believe that you may have a good chance. We often have scouts come to the last few games of the year, to look at potential players, so keep working hard. What about after? Your Quidditch career will not carry you indefinitely." Ginny shrugged with one shoulder. "I know. I haven't really thought about other careers. I like Transfiguration a lot. I also enjoy Charms and Arithmancy." Minerva considered. "You are doing well in all of your classes, averaging E's and O's. Have you ever considered teaching?" Ginny looked startled. "Not really." Minerva smiled. "You are very good with the younger years in the DA. You may wish to consider going for a Mastery in a subject you enjoy. Perhaps by the time you finish with your Quidditch career, there will be an opening at the school. Or if you like, you could work part time as the flying instructor. Madam Hooch has indicated that she would like to retire within the next few years. We can easily work around a training schedule, should that be a path you would like to pursue, and should you be drafted for a professional team.

Your comments from the professors are all complimentary, and like I said, you're averaging high grades, so just keep doing what you're doing, and remember, if you need anything, I am here." Ginny smiled and stood up. "Thanks, professor," she said, before making her exit. XXX The final Quidditch match was the Saturday after the Easter holidays, and true to form, Gryffindor dominated. Not that anyone expected anything different. Even if Cedric had still been playing for the badgers, they wouldn't have stood a chance. The final score was 310-90, and Harry and the lions landed on the Pitch to approving cheers from their housemates. Minerva held up the Cup that had adorned her office for the last few years, and the crowd just roared louder. She then passed it to Harry, who held it out to the rest of the team, and together, they lifted the trophy up. The party that followed lasted well into the night, with Minerva finally coming up to tell them to go to bed around two o'clock in the morning. With the Quidditch season over, no one had any excuse not to buckle down and hit the books. Hermione bemoaned the fact that she hadn't started revising for exams ages earlier, but Harry and ...
