Hey guys. Like I said here's the next chapter up and ready. Now I hope you all don't hate me but.... I might have to take another break. My best friend is coming to stay with me for a week (SO EXCITED) plus I need to do my AP history (HOLY SH*T okay so the chapters are literally 50 pgs. each [we have to do 3 or 4] and they use like .001 font) UGH! FML. lol

Julsgracie: I know I think in actuality Hermione might have thought of this a long time ago but it really wouldn't help the plot. So let's pretend she's having one of those moments where like ur in ur way to the pool and ur running around ur house looking for your sunglasses and u ask ur friend if she's seen them, to which she says "They're on your head". lol

jedigal125: I love Ginny too, she's my favorite.

PREVIOUSLY :Ginny let out a yelp as one of them slammed her to the ground. Crab grabbed her feet, while Goyle grabbed her arms. She struggled but it was no use she couldn't get free. "I'm going to teach you a lesson you disgusting blood traitor, that you will never forget." Malfoy said as he walked over to them and pointed his wand directly at her. Ginny squeezed her eyes closed and waited for the pain.

"Cruci-"

"BLASTIO!" she heard someone shout. She opened her eyes in time to see Malfoy let out a scream as a jet of red light blasted him off his feet and right into a nearby tree. 'OUCH! that must have hurt.' Crab and Goyle ran over to help Malfoy.

"Common let's go this place is haunted or something." They ran away leaving Ginny in the snow.

She sat up and looked around. She couldn't see anybody. That was when a lightbulb went off in her head. Of course she couldn't see anyone. "Harry!" She yelled. "Harry James Potter get out here this minute. I know your there!"

Ginny suddenly saw Harry appear right in front of her. "Here." Harry said offering her his hand. She pushed it away and stood up herself.

"I don't need your chivalry, thank you very much. I can take care of myself." She said and began walking back in the direction of Hogwarts

"Oh really," he scoffed. "It sure as hell didn't look like it about two minutes ago! The least you could do is thank me!" He yelled as he caught up to her.

Ginny stopped and looked at the ground. "Fine. Thank you." she said.

They walked in silence for awhile. Ginny didn't question why he was walking with her up to the castle instead of joining he precious girlfriend back at Madam Puddifoot's or wherever. In fact that was the last thing she was thinking. She had much bigger question to ask such as, How had he known she was in trouble? What the heck was his outburst the other night about? Why couldn't he just leave her the heck alone! And why did he help her? She was too embarrassed to ask any of these things though. But she had to know the answers. So she decided to ask the least embarrassing one. "Why did you help me?"

"What?" Harry said and gave her a confused look.

"Why did you help me?" She said repeating the question.

"What do you mean 'Why did I help you?' did you think I was just gonna stand there and watch him curse you?"

"Well you haven't exactly been the nicest person towards me!" She yelled getting irritated.

"Oh so just because we're aren't getting along means that I wouldn't dare lift a finger to help you. Wow Ginny thanks, I'm glad you think so much of me." He said staring ahead at the path.

Ginny felt the guilt creep inside her again. He was right she shouldn't have thought that he could be that cruel. "I'm sorry." She said again.

"it's fine." he said, still not looking at her.

They walked in silence. She didn't dare ask another question for fear that it would start another row. They simply walked back up to the caste and inside the common room. Just as they were about to walk back to there separate dormitories she grabbed his jacket and forced him to meet her eyes, "Harry look, I- I really am thankful you saved me. I don't know what might have happened if you hadn't been there."

"No problem." he whispered. Ginny stared into his heartbreakingly beautiful emerald green eyes and she felt her heart skip a beat. His face inching toward hers.

"Well I better go." She whispered back but she didn't move a muscle.

"Yeah me too." He said however he was not moving either. They faces seemed to get closer and closer. Just as Harry was about to close the gap between them. Ginny realized what was happening and backed WAY up.

"Umm I should go." She said. She tried to walk as casually as possible but she think he might have noticed how eager she was to get away from him. Ginny slammed the door to her dormitory and slid down the door and held her head in her hands. "What the hell is wrong with me!" she yelled out loud. Thankfully the room was empty.

Ginny shook her head. 'One problem at a time' she thought. She would deal with this later right now she needed to get dressed and find Hermione. Hopefully she'll be able to help her.

Meanwhile down in Hogsmeade there was a seething Romilda Vane walking into the Three Broomsticks. She spotted her friends and immediately joined them at a large table. Nobody said a word. They just handed her a Butterbeer and waited for her to speak. They could practically feel the anger rolling off her in waves and they were all eager to know what had happened.

Romilda took a sip of her Butterbeer and started grinding her teeth together. Harry had told her he was going to be studying in the library all day. Being the kind and caring girl that she was Romilda had offered to help him but he had insisted she go with her friends, Then what did she happen to see as she was walking down here? Harry walking back up to the castle with none other than GINNY WEASLEY!

She didn't know what had happened. Maybe he was on his was to meet her and he ran into Ginny. Or maybe they had planned to meet here all along and that little rumor about her dating Thomas was just a cover up. 'That little bitch is sneakier than I thought.'

There was one thing that bothered her though. Why would Harry do that? she had remembered to give it to him last night. Maybe her friend Gail was right and she needed to double up on doses. 'That's what I'll do. It's not like it'll hurt him. Plus I'm so not letting that little red headed idiot steal away my guy!' Romilda smirked, she decided to let her anger subside for now and she began telling her friends about what had happened. When she got back to the castle Harry Potter was in HUGE trouble.

OMFG!!!! 8 days until Harry Potter 6!!!!!!!!!! I'm going on opening day. I can't wait!!!! By the way did you know you can actually make Butterbeer my friend and I (she's a HP junkie too) made it. OMG it was delicious. Damn, now I want Butterbeer. Anyways did you like this chapter? R&R please. ;)
