<strong>Harry</strong>, Ginny, Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione were going to Apparate to the Hogwarts' Quidditch field, where the<br />

photo shoot was to happen. An Apparation point had been set up inside the grounds for the people<br />

working on the castle <strong>and</strong> so they were going there.<br />

When they arrived they were quickly surrounded by a few people from the Firebolt Company who gave<br />

them each a set of robes that were embossed with a flaming broom under each of their last names.<br />

The morning was spent in the air, <strong>Harry</strong>, Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione were speeding around while the<br />

photographers in the st<strong>and</strong>s snapped picture after picture.<br />

About half way through Hermione l<strong>and</strong>ed, a bit roughly <strong>and</strong> told the people from the Firebolt Company<br />

that she needed a brake, <strong>and</strong> that they would much rather have Ginny flying. <strong>After</strong> about ten minuets of<br />

watching Ginny fly around on the F2 they agreed, <strong>and</strong> asked Hermione if it would be ok for Ginny to<br />

stay on the broom for the rest of the shoot. Hermione quickly agreed, confessing that she didn't like<br />

flying much.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong>, Ron <strong>and</strong> Ginny soon had a Quaffle in h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> were playing a game of catch in the air. They<br />

each performed amazing acrobatic feats, <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ginny weaving in <strong>and</strong> out of the structure of the<br />

st<strong>and</strong>s while flying at full speed.<br />

By lunch time the thoroughly impressed photographers <strong>and</strong> executives said they had more than enough<br />

shots of the group. As the three flyers l<strong>and</strong>ed an executive came forward <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ed each flyer a bag of<br />

gold the size of a Quaffle. "Here is your payment for the day," said the executive, "Ms. Granger, we<br />

split your payment between you <strong>and</strong> Ms. Weasley. Mr. <strong>Potter</strong>, Mr. Weasley, you each have 500 galleons<br />

<strong>and</strong> Ms. Granger <strong>and</strong> Ms. Weasley you have 250 galleons each."<br />

Ron <strong>and</strong> Ginny both looked at their bags neither had ever had this much money in their lives. Hermione<br />

also looked quite impressed with her bag, but she had seen large sums of money before.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong> looked at his bag with a look of weariness on his face. "Thank you," he said as he led the others<br />

back towards the castle, <strong>and</strong> the Apparation point.<br />

On their way they happened to find Professor McGonagall, "Hello <strong>Potter</strong>, Granger, Weasley, <strong>and</strong><br />

Weasley. Had fun today?" She seemed much more personable since she was appointed Headmistress.<br />

Although, <strong>Harry</strong> couldn't help but note the hint of wariness in her voice<br />

"Yes professor, we did," said <strong>Harry</strong>. Suddenly inspiration struck as he looked at the castle that was<br />

behind the aging Professor, he knew exactly what to do with the money that was now in his h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

"Professor," started <strong>Harry</strong> as he h<strong>and</strong>ed her the bag of money, "I don't need this money, the school on<br />

the other h<strong>and</strong> does. I want it to be put towards rebuilding the castle <strong>and</strong> helping people who were hurt<br />

in the battle."<br />

"That's extremely generous of you <strong>Potter</strong>," sputtered Professor McGonagall, "<strong>and</strong> I can guarantee you<br />

that it will help a great deal."<br />

<strong>After</strong> a few seconds Hermione dug her h<strong>and</strong> into her bag <strong>and</strong> took out 50 of her own Galleons <strong>and</strong> put<br />

them in the bag with <strong>Harry</strong>'s. Ginny did the same, <strong>and</strong> after a nudge from Hermione so did Ron.<br />

"Thank you all," said McGonagall, "you don't know how much you have helped this school." As she<br />

walked away <strong>Harry</strong> saw a new spring in her step.<br />

"That was extremely generous of you," said Ginny as the two couples started towards the apparition<br />

point again.<br />

"Yeah, well, I don't need it do I," said <strong>Harry</strong>, a frown briefly crossing his face, "between what my<br />

parents left me, what Sirius left me, <strong>and</strong> what every anybody else left me I'm sure that I could probably<br />

live comfortably for the rest of my life. Plus, I think the castle deserves the money just as much as me."
