Taking A Dive

The irony was, Ginny reflected as she began the descent into what had been termed the Weasley Homicide Dive, that she had taken up Quidditch because six children's worth of hand-me-downs meant it was basically free for her to participate.

The harder part hadn't been building a world-class game, but having to smile and not Sectumsempera all the reporters who assumed, despite what she had stated, that she wouldn't play for any teams other than the Harpies and the national team.

In the last moment of free-fall before grabbing the broom again, Ginny wondered what her life would have been like of she'd given up, choosing to be weighted down, instead of shaking them all off and floating above, the leaf that refused to come down while there was still wind to play in.
