A/N: Sorry it took so long. I hit a writers block and then I hit a depressing time. But never fear I am back and with a new chapter.

Oh yeah. I want to know if anyone else noticed this or coudl explain to me if I missed something. I am re-reading all the Harry Potter books, to refresh my memory on every detail. I was finishing the fourth book last night and I realised somthing. I noticed it before but it popped back in my head last night. Towards the end when Harry and Voldemort are in the graveyard dueling, the end up with the Priori Incantatem. Well out of Voldemort's wand pops out the people he most recently killed. First Cedric Diggory pops out. Then came the old man, followed by Bertha Jorkins. Now here is where the problem is. Then his dad comes and says the Lily is coming. Then Lily shows up. If James had protected Lily and died before her, then why did he come out first? Shouldn't Lily have come out before James? Okay, please reply and let me know if I missed something.

I did notice other mistakes like. Maybe next chapter I have another one. Sorry to keep you waiting. Your probably not even reading this. REVIEW! Enjoy!

Chapter 7

"Draco what's going on? Why were Potter and Weasel storming down the corridor?" Draco was rubbing his tembles. Pasny made her way down the stairs, past Draco, and sat on the bed next to sleeping Ginny. Hermione still remained were she was in the door way her eyes still on Ginny. Pansy looked up from the sleeping girl and finally noticed Hermione standing there. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. Draco buried his face in his hands as Hermione slowly made here way down the steps. Pansy stood and quickly walked over to Draco. "What the hell did you do? I'm gone for a few hours and the whole world knows about this poor girl now!" Hermione's shocked face quickly changed to anger and she glared at Pansy.

"The whole world doesn't know. She figured it out when she found out Ginny never returned to her dorm last night." Pansy rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. The three continued to argue and hadn't notice Ginny slowly open her eyes. The others aruging grew louder and Ginny slowly moved herself towards the wall. She pulled the covers closer to her face, covering her whole body. Memories of the previous night flooded back to her mind and she held back a sob, afraid to let the others know she was awake. That was when it hit her. Hermione was there. Fear took over her as she realised her brother's best friend was standing there. She laid back down, pretending to be asleep. She heard the arguing die down.

"Lets take this to the common room so we don't wake her." The three seventeen year olds left the room, shutting the door behind them. Ginny sat up and climbed out of the bed. Pain shot through her body when she stood, nearly causing her to fall over. She looked around the room in hopes of finding her clothes. She then realised that she had no clothes here. They had been ripped and torn apart last night. She looked down at her current clothing. A baggy shirt and a pair of green flannel pants. This should be enough to make it my room. Plus everyone is at breakfest. She quietly opened the door to see no one was in the common room. She still heard the arguing, so she assumed that they must be in Hermione's room. She slipped out of the room and quietly shut the door. She made her way down the steps and began to make her way to the portrait hole. She climbed out and looked down the corridor. She wasn't quite sure which way to go. She sighed and began her search for her common room.

"So we have to keep this between us three. No one else is to know about this." Draco was laying on the couch in Hermione's room listening to the girls attempts to come to a solution.

"I think we should tell Dumbledore or someone. This could get really serious." Pansy crossed her arms out of frustration.

"Granger, the only reason you even know about this is because your so god damn nosy. Trying to catch Draco or any other Slytherin doing something wrong. You didn't even notice what was wrong, with the girl right in front of you for six years!" This is when Draco stood and decided to make the final descision.

"Listen. She doesn't want anyone to know. Yes, it can be very dangerous to not tell anyone who has athority. But you also have to think, when will she not be under the watch of one of us three?" The two girls looked at him. They both rolled their eyes and nodded. "It's nothing new to see Pansy with Ginny, so that won't be the least suspisious. Hermione is best friends with her older brother, so there's a watch person for any more abuse, out of our reach. The best I can do, is when she is alone with someone, just annoy them. We all know that is not suspisious." The three nodded and left Hermione's room. Hermione volunteered to go and wake Ginny. When she walked away Pansy looked to Draco.

"Are we sure she won't go blabbing to Potter or Weasel?"

"No. But there's a good chance she won't. Plus, its a little to late now. She already knows." They both remained silent. They waited for Hermione to return, but then she came running out of his room.

"She left. She's not here!"

Ginny reached the common room without a problem. She ran to the stairs to realize they were now a slide. She sighed and sat down by the fire, deciding to wait until the returned to the stair form. She watched the fire crackle for some time. She eventually grew bored of it and looked back to the staircase. They had no returned to their original form. She ran up the stairs just as people began to return from breakfest. She collapsed on her bed. She was exceptionally tired, more from running while she was in extreme pain. She debated if she wanted to take a nap, when she realised her first class began in twenty minutes. She jumped out of bed and quickly put on her school uniform. She looked out the window and saw the overcast sky and colorful trees. She went back to her closet and grabbed her robes to through over her uniform. She then quickly ran a brush through her hair and put it in a sloppy bun before rushing out of her room.

Christmas break was quickly approaching. Ginny had recieved a severe beating from Ron for the night she hadn't returned to her room. She told him she had been studying in the library and fell asleep. He didn't believe for a minute. She also had noticed that Draco, Pansy, and Hermione seemed to be keeping a very close watch on her. She hardly had minute to herself without one of them chasing her down or watching her from across the room. The day before christmas break, seemed to worry her the most. She had been eating breakfest at Gryffindor table with Hermione. The ceiling above her showed a heavy blizzard. Ron came into the hall and walked right up to the two girls.

"Good morning." He nodded at Hermione and then turned to Ginny.

"I just recieved a letter from mom and dad. They want us to return home for break. They are trying to get the whole family home." Ginny just nodded her head stiffly and that was when Hermiome chimed in.

"Oh can I come? My parents are going to Canada for christmas, for there second honeymoon or something."

"Sorry 'Mione."

"Why not? Harry and I are always invited to your house."

"Dad has already said in the note that you and Harry are to remain in school. He wants a family christmas this year. He even got Charlie to come home."

"So Harry doesn't even get to go?"

"Nope. It says so in the letter." He handed her the letter and she quickly read through it. "Ginny you might want to start packing. I have nearly finished." Ginny quietly stood and left the hall. Hermione set the letter down on the table. Ron grabebd it off the table.

"Are you sure? Maybe they wrote it wrong or-"

"Hermione! Why are you so keen to come to my house for the holidays?"

"We haven't been to the burrow in ages. Plus christmas is a time for family."

"Exactly! Your not apart of our family!"

"Ronald there is no reason to shout." She said, prounocing every word clearly.

"This is the end of this discussion." He turned heel and left the Great Hall in a hurry. He ears matching his hair from his anger. Hermione looked up and down the Slytherin table. She found Draco and Pansy. She stared at them until one of them looked up. Pansy was the first to. She caught Hermione's gaze. Hermione tilted her head to the door and Pansy nodded, showing she understood. Hermione stood and left the her breakfest barley touched. She quickly made her way down to her Head dorms and sat in the common room waiting for the two Slytherins. When the portrait opened again, Pansy walked in alone.

"Draco didn't come?"

"He said its none of his business. He only is going to annoy the people around her."

"He is such a prick."

"Well its the way he was raised and he is a guy."

"What he was raised to not help someone?"

"That, and to be completely emotionless." There was a long silence. Hermione was trying to picture Draco being told not to have emotions. She was snapped out of it when Pansy spoke again. "So what did you call me here for?"

"Oh yeah! Ginny is being forced to go home for the holidays."

"What? Why don't you go with her?"

"I already tried. I was uninvited. So was Harry." Pansy collapsed on the couch. For three weeks, they had no one who could watch Ginny. She was on her own.
