A/N – I hope you guys like this one and keep reviewing! In confidence, I took sex ed not long ago, but I don't know what I should really write about for it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
DISCLAIMER – Anything pertaining to the Harry Potter books in my story belongs to J.K. Rowling. Yup. That's basically all of it….
Chapter 10 – Just Read The Stupid Chapter
Consequently, Malfoy gave Blaise detention, and as he told him as Blaise left the room, his black haired friend flashed him a smile and gave Ginny a thumbs-up. Ginny watched with sharp eyes all the students that left the room, and with no surprise on her part, she saw Ron and Harry making their way over to her through the crowd. Hermione had already left with another girl, strangely enough.
With flawless acting abilities, she pretended not to see the two boys and headed over to Malfoy, who had sat down in a chair, propped his feet up on the table, and closed his eyes. "Did Snape say when he was going to return?" she asked politely, as to not arouse any anger from him.
He opened his eyes and studied her for a moment. "You're stalling," he said at last. "Either way, those two gits are going to find you. How stupid of you to not realize that they're not blind."
"Even if they were blind," she sighed, taking the seat next to him, "Ron has supernatural sister-sensing powers, and Harry…" she trailed off. "He'd just follow Ron, I suppose…"
"Well they bother me," Malfoy said irritably, scowling and grabbing a book next to him. "Make them go away."
"I've tried," she moaned. "Sadly, they're terribly protective. Plus, Ron's my brother, and Harry likes me, so… I don't want to hurt them."
"So you're saying that they're going to be in my presence every Friday night because you won't tell them to shove off?"" he demanded, cocking an eyebrow. Ginny nodded reluctantly. "Fine then- I'll get them to go away."
Before she could say anything, the two friends were behind her. "GINNY!" Ron yelled. "Why in the WORLD are you sitting next to MALFOY?!" He yanked her up by her arm and pulled her away from the table. "I told you that I didn't want you NEAR him, Ginny!"
Ginny rolled her eyes and turned towards Malfoy, who was flipping through the book absent-mindedly. "Hey Malfoy," she called lightly.
"Oi," he answered, not even looking up.
"Do you plan to kill me anytime soon?" she asked, walking towards him.
"Yes," he replied boredly, still turning pages.
"Interesting. Please elaborate," she said.
"I think I'll slit your throat first," he said, stopping at a page and reading. "Then I'll probably rip out your nails. If it doesn't take too long, I'll also take out your insides."
"But wouldn't slitting my throat defeat the purpose of torturing me? I mean, if you slit me first, then I'd be dead before you were able to do anything else to me."
"Quite right. Okay then, I'll torture you and then I'll slit your throat." He still had yet to glance at the other three.
"Much better," she replied, turning around to face the boys. Ron's face had turned completely white, and Harry's mouth was hanging slack. She tilted her head a bit. "Not quite the reaction that I wanted," she mused.
"I agree," Malfoy added, getting up out of his seat and standing behind her.
"It needs to be worse. Why don't you rape me first?"
"That's perfect!" he said so enthusiastically that it appeared to be sarcasm. "First I'll rape you, then I'll torture you, and lastly I kill you!" Then his face returned to its arrogant, bored look again.
"Well, instead of just killing me in the end, you should just stuff some cloth in my mouth to muffle any noise and make me die slowly. I think it would have a better effect."
"Point. It would also cause more pain."
"Exactly!" she finished, throwing her hands up triumphantly.
By then, Ron was white and shaking, and Harry was making these growling sounds and clenching his fists. Ginny nodded thoughtfully as she showed them to the door. "But what if Snape came in?"
"I'll just have to do it some other time then. Let's see… How about Tuesday?"
"Sunday might be better…" she trailed off as she shut the door in the boys' faces.

Sex Ed hadn't been nearly as bad as Ginny had thought it was. True to his word, Malfoy had gotten rid of the boys effectively, but she knew full well that that meant a full retaliation from them the next day. Thankfully, it was Saturday, and so instead of going to breakfast and being yelled at, she got Anne to bring her some toast, and she left for a leisurely walk on the school grounds.
As she neared the edge of the lake, she looked up as a tawny owl dropped the Daily Prophet at her feet. After she paid for it, she curiously opened the paper. At the first glance of the headline, she knew that the wizarding world was entering a time of disaster.
"MASS OUTBREAK OF FORMER DEATH-EATERS OCCURS AT AZKABAN!"
Ginny turned white with fear and dropped the paper. She knew perfectly well that they would be coming after Harry and the rest of the gang that had put them in jail the last year. That meant her.
Tears stung her eyes as she came to a difficult realization, even though she had been involved with the Order long before: the war had finally started. She choked on her breath as the feeling of helplessness came flooding to her. She slowly turned around as she heard someone call her name. Through her tears, she saw that it was Blaise calling her, and Malfoy followed behind him.
She tried to clear her eyes of the tears, but as she did so, everything suddenly became dark. She wasn't by the lake anymore, but running through the corridors of the castle, her hand being pulled along by a tall, blonde boy. It was Malfoy. She faintly heard him curse, as though someone had put cloth around her ears, as they rounded a corner.
She looked back over her shoulder. Hooded figures were following them, no- gliding towards them. Her heart froze in her chest- they were dementors. Before she had a chance to look ahead, she found herself stopped by Malfoy. There was a man standing before them, blocking their way of escape. His face was hooded, and in his outstretched hand she saw a wand. In horror, she heard him utter a single word.
Crucio.
Ginny screamed in blinding pain as she was hit by the spell. She wanted to die- wanted it to end. Then she was by the lake again. She gasped in utter agony, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Blaise Zambini and Draco Malfoy watched in horror as Virginia Weasley dropped to the ground unconscious.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER, MALFOY?!" Ron screamed in rage. Behind him, Harry snarled a stream of curses at the blonde.
"I SAVED HER, YOU GIT!" he yelled back in frustration, throwing his arms up in the air.
"I'M A GIT?! LAST I HEARD, YOU HAD A FULL SCALE PLOT TO KILL HER!"
"GOD- IT WAS A JOKE!"
"YEAH- LIKE YOU'VE EVER JOKED ABOUT ANYTHING WITH ME!"
"DON'T PUT THE BLAME ON ME JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!"
"GREAT MERLIN! YOU'RE FATHER'S A DEATHEATER- YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE KILLING SOMEONE!"
"DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY FATHER, DAMMIT!" Malfoy roared, punching Ron with a flying fist.
Ron fell sprawling to the floor and hit the one of the tables in the Hospital Wing, sending bottles crashing down. Harry yelled and pounced on Malfoy, hitting him in the stomach. Malfoy gasped, but retaliated effectively by throwing Harry on top of Ron and kicking him in the side. Ron yanked on of Malfoy's ankles and sent him to the floor, where both Gryffindor boys pounced on him. Regardless of the fact that it was two against one, Malfoy slowly stood up amidst the assault of punches and kicks. Growling, he slammed his fist into Harry's mouth, but became preoccupied with Ron.
No one seemed to hear Ginny's frustrated yell of "STOP IT!". Harry latched back on to Malfoy's neck, squeezing the air out. Ginny- ignoring the fact that she had been felling quite horrible moments before- ran over to the mass of boys. "STOP IT!" she yelled again as she ripped Harry's arms off of Malfoy's neck. As she turned around, she was met in the face by Ron's fist. Not feeling any pain at first, she staggered back into Malfoy.
By then, Harry and Ron had stopped moving. Ginny felt her head beginning to reel from the blow, and tears welled up in her eyes. She made a soft, short whimper and slowly turned her head to stare at her brother. Ron had paled, and his eyes were wide open in panic. Ginny winced as her tears began to fall. She gratefully felt Malfoy's arms slide around her waist in support, as she was starting to slide to the floor. "Stop it…" she whispered, barely audible.
Malfoy himself winced as he picked her up and staggered over to lay her in her bed. He clutched his side in pain, though his face showed no trace of being hurt. "Thanks…" he said gruffly, so that the other two boys couldn't hear. "I'll get the nurse."
Ginny smiled faintly.
A/N- Sorry! I know that was a bit short, but I'm getting along in the next chapters, so bear with me! Review or else I won't post!
