Several long months had passed, and Ginny Weasley sat at the tower window, wrapped up and a large blanket and watched the snow drift idly by.

She Hummed softly to herself, it had been possibly the best day of the entire year. It started with Cho and Harry Mutually agreeing to break things off. Then Snape gave her one hundred percent on a test, he liked her for some reason. And now Ginny had just found out that Harry was coming to stay at their house for Christmas.

It was indeed a perfect day. She picked up her forgotten book and began to read. Ginny had not gotten further than three pages when Hermione softly knocked on the door, with out waiting for an awnser burst in. Her face was flushed red, and her eyes sparkled with happiness, which could only mean that Wesley had sent her something.

Wesley was muggle, so of course did not send it by owl, he simply gave the package or desired thing to Hermione's parents and they sent it to her by owl.

"LOOK! Look! Look! Ginny LOOK!" Hermione waved her had in front of Ginny face while jumping up and down.

Ginny impatiently grabbed her hand, to make to stand still and get a look at the little gol band that encircled one of Hermione's slender fingers. Ginny gasped.

"He proposed?" She asked

Hermione gave and exasperated sigh.

"No you git! It's a promise ring. He promised to always be there. Oh Ginny he really is the one." Hermione squealed.

Ginny Smiled, Just then Harry and Ron walked in.

"What's all the screaming for?" Harry chuckled

"Yeah, we could hear it in the common room" Ron smiled,

Hermione showed the ring and explained to the boys. Ron's face fell dramatically and Ginny felt sorry for him, but he managed to pick it up before Hermione could catch sight. He'd become very good at acting.

"We're so happy for you 'Mione. We really are. We also came up here to bring you two dinner" Ron Smiled and offered his arm to Hermione who took it graciously.

Harry and Ginny stayed behind

"Gin, you said you wanted me to keep you posted on Voldemorts attacks. Well, there's been another, on a muggle village near where Sirius and Remus live, he owled me saying they are fine, however six muggles and five witches and wizards died. I'm really sorry its such grave news" Harry said

Ginny hugged him, she knew how hard it must be, she knew he still remembered Cedric and blamed himself for his death.

"Harry, its not your fault, you know that right. Don't go beating yourself up" She whispered, Harry heaved a sigh

"I know Ginny, I know. Hey dinners getting cold" And with that they exited.

~*~*~*~

The next morning, the great hall seemed to have been put on mute, not a face smiled, not one didn't weep silent tears. A teacher had died. It didn't matter if she was a not a particularly liked one, there was evil inside Hogwarts. Was it still safe?

Dumbledore stood before them all

"The rumors you have heard are true. One of our own has been put under death's cold sleep. Professor Sinstra was found on the Quiditch field the dark mark, was above her head Because we believe the Hogwarts grounds have been further penetrated and are not longer safe, Quiditch has been cancelled until further notice. You will all be going home for the holidays as we cannot keep you here. You will be travelling by floo an portkey, seeing to weather you have a fire place or not. I beg your understanding and forgivance to these matters, thank you"

With that Dumbledore sat back down, hushed murmurs spread through the halls just as the owl post came in.

"I hope you guys don't mind, but I'm leaving today. I told mum I'd come home early to help. You know, with dad in his state and none of our brothers living at home anymore. She really needs help." Ginny said, she smiled sadly

"I'm leaving after breakfast. I'm really sorry. I'll see you in a couple of weeks Herms and Ron, Harry in a few days" and with that she got up and walked out of the hall.

Ginny Stepped lightly to the head masters office, a small bag carried with her. As Ginny rounded a corner she bumped into something. Something tall.

It grabbed her wrists "Hello Weasley, we've been waiting for awhile" A cold voice drawled

Then "Stupefy" The whole world went Black.

Harry, Hermione and Ron were sitting in D.A.D.A. Listening to Professor.Page's delusional idea on how to cure a wolf bite. It was actually a debate started be dean to take him off track from the test they were supposed to be having. It was working quite well. Just then a knock sounded on the door. Professor Mcgonagle poked her head through the door.

"Professor Page? May a I borrow Potter, Weasley and Granger for a minute please?" She demanded more then asked. The three requested students rose from their seats and followed professor Mcgonagle to her office.

"Please have a seat. I'm afraid something terrible has taken place. A student has been taken, from inside the castle walls."
