A.N: Here's Chapter two. You may find the additional character a bit surprising but the story needed romance… (besides the R\Hr (not that that's not enough mind you *WINK*)) Well, hope you enjoy!

"Harry! Harry, wake up!" Harry felt someone shake him lightly. He felt sick to his stomach, and dizzy. He didn't want to wake up- but then he remembered where he must have been. He sat up with a flash and bumped his head on something

"Ouch!" came a voice. Harry froze, his eyes still tightly shut. The voice he had heard was not Ron's. He knew that voice, it was- but, no it couldn't be. He opened his eyes. "Ginny?!" Harry's hearing had not failed him. Indeed, Ginny Weasley sat before him; she was rubbing the side of her forehead and Harry realized his head hurt as well.

"Wow Harry, you caught me on a fast one there." Ginny said, still rubbing her forehead.

Harry shook off the shock "Sorry about that." He finally said sheepishly. feeling horrible and quit embarrassed.

"Um Ginny, what-?" Harry intended to ask her ALL of the "Wh" Questions possible about the current situation, but of course was cut off by a very angry Ginny,

"I'll tell you 'what' Mr. Potter, you and my brilliant brother have, while idiotically attempting to be heroes, wandered yourselves into 'Black'." Harry gaped at her. How did she know about Black? "Yes Harry I know what Black is, and no Harry I didn't intend on letting the two of you come on your own, and if I may add:" here Ginny pouted at Harry a small smile pulling at the corners of her mouth, "it hurts me greatly that you did not invite me on this courageous adventure." A sly and yet silly smile appeared on Ginny's face and Harry let out a chuckle himself.

"Well Miss Weasley," Harry began, "you weren't quite the Weasley I had expected to find when I woke up."

"Disappointed, are you?" Ginny said, grinning and Harry felt his cheeks go red. "N-no not at all."

"Well, Ron and Hermione are no where to be found and 'WE' are in the middle of nowhere!" Harry looked around. Ginny was right; they really were in the middle of nowhere. He phrased the sentence in his mind- 'I am in the middle of nowhere ALONE with Ginny!' he shivered at the thought of it 'Relax Harry, nothing to be nervous about.' Harry had had feelings for Ginny for a long time now and he had a small hunch that she sort of knew about it, and maybe even felt the same way. 'Doubtful, very doubtful' he told himself.

Harry looked around at his surroundings. 'The Middle of Nowhere' was a place between a flowing river and a forest. Beyond the river was a green valley dotted with the reds and yellows of wild flowers. And beyond the valley there lay three great purple mountains tipped with snow. The forest was of fir-trees so green they seemed unreal. The whole place seemed unreal, but Harry had to admit to himself that he had never been any place so beautiful as where he currently stood.

"It is beautiful though isn't it?" Ginny said and Harry looked at her thoughtfully.

"I was just thinking the very same thing." He said.

"Still," Ginny looked at Harry "we can't let its appearance fool us. Remember what Professor McGonnagal said? Black plays with the mind."

"Yes, I suppose you're right- HEY!" Harry pointed his finger at her accusingly. "How do you know what Professor McGonnagal told us?!"

Ginny quickly put both her hands over her mouth and took a step away from Harry.

"You followed us didn't you?" Ginny shook her head, her hands still on her mouth. "You spied on us!" Harry continued, amazed at Ginny.

"Mm-mm" Ginny said, shaking her head from left to right.

"Mm-hmm" Harry returned, nodding his head up and down, a small chuckle breaking out.

"O.k., O.k." she finally let out guiltily. "I-" she was cut off by the sound of a loud explosion coming from the forest.

"What on earth was that?" Ginny asked as she shaded her eyes with her hand to better see what was going on. "I can't see anything, Harry, would you pick me up please?"

"Pick you up?" Harry asked puzzled.

"Yes, you know, on your shoulders."

"Oh-" Harry cleared his throat "Su-sure."

Ginny quickly took off her robes, to make better use of her legs. She had a simple orange shirt and a pair of jeans on.

"O.k. bend down now" she said.

Harry did as Ginny instructed. He shivered as he felt her put her hands on his shoulders. She then climbed on him, placing both her legs on separate sides of Harry's neck sending goosebumps down his spine. All this seemed to be the most regular thing for Ginny. "Now slowly get up." She said. " Wait, wait, wait! First grab my feet so I don't fall"

"Here goes." Harry said as he slowly got up.

"Steady."

"You O.k. up there?"

"I'm fine thanks."

"What do you see?"

Ginny scrunched up her eyes until they were just slits. "There's a green cloud of smoke forming nearby. It must be from the explosion."

"Who do you think did it?" Harry said struggling to say the words without sounding too breathless while at the same time holding Ginny up as well as he could.

"I'm not so sure I even want to know" She answered while looking down at Harry and noticing how hard he was working to hold her up. "Oh, I'm sorry you can let me down now Harry."

"Um, I don't exactly know how Ginny."

"Oh... well, um I guess you're supposed to bend down or something."

"I can't."

"What do you mean you can't?!"

"If I bend down I'll collapse."

"Collapse?!- Oh no you don't!"

"Well Ginny you'd better think of something quick because I'm about to!"

"O.k. I've got it. Try to sit at the side of the river" Harry slowly and steadily made his way over to the river.

"Careful Harry!" Ginny said as she tightened her grip on Harry's shoulders.

"Och! Ginny, get a hold of yourself would you?"

"If you drop me…"

"I wont, relax! Let me just find a place to get down-" he was concentrating awfully hard considering this was Ginny on his shoulders, and he truly didn't want anything to happen to her, but at the same time his legs were begging to give in. Unfortunately he didn't seen the fairly large rock in his way…

"HARRRRRRYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!"

The two of them went flying straight into the river. The water was freezing, and all Harry could see were millions of little white bubbles everywhere. He quickly swam to the surface.

Harry reached the opposite bank of the river and pulled himself out exhaustedly. He sat panting on his knees but suddenly looked around him, panicked when he realized that Ginny hadn't come out of the water.

"Ginny?!" He yelled. He didn't see her anywhere. All he could see was white foam.

Without a second thought he dived back into the turbulent water. He swam down to the bottom but he didn't see her. He went back up fir breath and gasped as he reached air. He looked around wildly, treading water. He took another deep breath and dived again. This time he spotted Ginny's bright orange shirt and headed towards it. Thank god Ginny wore bright colors. He grabbed her under her arms and pulled her up. He swam to the bank and with a big effort, as he was physically exhausted, pulled her onto firm ground.

He lay her on her back and patted her cheeks trying to wake her. She wasn't breathing! Harry started to panic.

"Oh God Ginny! Come on, wake up!" Ginny's lips had begun to tinge blue. Harry found he couldn't breath and he felt all the blood leave his face. He looked around searching for any kind of help. Nothing.

Suddenly, Harry recalled a television program he'd once seen at the Dursley's about first aid. There had been something about CPR. He brought forward the distant memory. He leaned forward and pinched Ginny's nose and lowered his lips to hers. They were ice cold. He breathed breath into her and then turned his ear to her mouth to hear if she had started breathing yet. Still nothing. He repeated the procedure.

Suddenly, Ginny retched, coughing out water and taking a deep gasping breath.

Harry, almost crying in relief, sat her up and patted her back.

"Harry." She croaked.

"Shhh. It's alright. I'm here. You're going to be fine."

He heard Ginny start crying and he was caught by surprise when she turned around and flung her arms around him, sobbing into his shoulder. Harry sat shocked for a moment, and then awkwardly smoothed down her hair soothingly and kissed her forehead.

"You really scared me there for a minute." Harry said smiling trying to lighten the mood.

Ginny then released herself from Harry's arms and gazed into his eyes. She couldn't manage to say much but the simple "Thank you" seemed satisfying enough for Harry.

A.N: Well, that's that! I really hope you enjoyed this! A special thanks to my sister- RosieG who beta read this chapter. I love her very much!!!!! Please REVIEW thanks.
