Harry was being killed again by the dementors, his skin was as white as freshly fallen snow. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion, but there was still nothing that could save him. Then it happened, Harry had collapsed onto the cold hard ground.

At this moment, Ginny awoke, she sat up in her bed in the fifth year girls dormitory. She tried laying down again, but it was no use, she was worried about Harry and couldn't get back to sleep until she knew he was alright.

Ginny got out of bed and slid into her bathrobe and slippers, and set off for the sixth year boys dormitory. When Ginny arrived at the door, she held her hand up to knock, but decided against it, she wanted to get in and out as quickly and quietly as possible. She reached up and turned the handle, as she walked in she notice that she didn't have to worry about keeping quiet. On one side of the room there was Dean, Seamas, and Neville, all of which were snoring like pigs. She looked to the other side of the room where she saw her brother Ron, Ginny didn't think it was possible, but Ron seemed to be snoring even louder than the other three put together. Then Ginny allowed her eyes to wander over to the bed next to Ron's. There she saw Harry, he was sleeping so peacefully, it was as if he wasn't even there. Ginny found herself walking silently toward Harry's bed and stopping at the edge. She would have loved to nudge him awake so they could talk, but the thought quickly vanished from her mind as Ron gave a snort and rolled over. Ginny decided it was best to leave now, rather than risk being found there in the middle of the night by someone. The floor creaked a little while she walked and left the room.

However, Ginny did not go back to her room, instead she went down the spiral staircase into the Gryffindor common room. She got a drink then decided to lay on the couch in front of the fire. She drifted off into a light sleep, listening to the howling of the wind and being comforted by the crackling of the fire.

Not long after she had fallen asleep, Ginny heard footsteps coming down the spiral staircase.

"Ginny?" Came a soft voice, so light it was like listening to air.

"Ginny, is that you?" Came the voice again.

Ginny immediately realized who had called her name, it was Harry. Shocked that Harry had come down to see her, he obviously heard the creaking floorboard, without thinking, Ginny flipped over and fell off the couch and hit her head on one of the side tables. Harry quickly rushed over to Ginny.

"Are you alright?" Harry was kneeling on his knees next to Ginny, her face in his hands, Harry was staring at her face in amazement as the light of the fire danced across her pale face. Ginny's face looked as if made of porcelain though his hands could feel warm heat radiating from her face.

Harry watched as Ginny's eyes darted around the room in total bewilderment. Where am I and why is this boy holding my face? Ginny thought as she stared back at the boy in front of her. The boys' eyes seemed so deep she felt as if she could get lost in them. Even though she had no idea who this boy was she couldn't help feeling completely safe while his palms rested on her face, something inside her made her never to want this moment to end.

Ginny still wasn't saying anything.

"Ginny, can you hear me? Ginny say something." Harry shook her a little to be sure she was listening. Ginny blinked her eyes and finally said something.

"Who are you?" This wasn't at all the kind of response Harry was expecting.

"W-What do you mean, 'who am I?' I'm Harry." Harry didn't believe what was happening.

"Who?" Ginny said, squinting her eyes.

"Harry"He said again, "Y-You don't remember me?"

"Um...well...no." Ginny said, "What was that you were calling me?"

"Ginny," Harry said, "that's your name, Ginny."

"Oh," replied Ginny, "where am I? Is this your house or mine?"

"Neither," said Harry, "this is our school."

"Really!" Ginny gasped, "Hang on, why are we here at night?"

Harry realized he was in for a tough night, Harry explained to her how they were witches and wizards, this took her by surprise, but not nearly as surprised as she was when she found out she had six brothers and no sisters. He explained how they go to Hogwarts to learn magic and when he was finally done, Harry, as well as Ginny, was exhausted. When he tried to offer to walk her back to her dormitory, she didn't want to go, "you're the only person I know, I don't want to sleep in a room with a bunch of strangers!" Harry realized that he wasn't going to be able to get her to sleep in her dormitory tonight so instead, he lay her back down on the couch, grabbed a fluffy blanket from a chair, and placed it on her.

When Harry started to walk toward the stairs to go back to bed he heard Ginny say, "You're not going to leave me here alone are you?" Harry saw a worried look in here eyes he had only seen once before when they were in the Chamber of Secrets.

Harry glanced over at the spiral staircase, then turned to look back at Ginny.

"Of course I'm not." Harry sighed. He walked toward the fire and sat in one of the big red chairs. He saw Ginny look his way, she gave a small reassuring smile, closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
