Shortly after she ran up to her dorm crying, Ron came up to try to cheer her up. Ginny ignored him for a few minutes hoping he would just go away. Apparently that didn't work.

"Just go away Ron. Please, just leave." she said finally.

Ron looked pale. "I'm not going to leave until you tell me what's wrong. I'm worried for you, Gin."

"Well, then you are wasting your time. Get out of my room or I will kick you out!" shouted Ginny.

"Ginny, it's me Ron. You can tell me anything" Ron gave her a reassuring smile.

Ginny collapsed on her bed, sobbing. "You have to promise me you won't tell anyone." Ginny looked up. "Promise me."

Ron hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Ok, I promise."

Ginny looked uneasily at her brother. "Um… I… " A short silence, "Window…. Uh…go…err." Ginny sighed, "What I'm trying to say is…" She took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to live anymore."

Ron's eyes widened, "What?"

Ginny remained silent.

"Is this some kind of a joke?" asked Ron moving closer to Ginny.

"No, Ron. It's the truth." Ginny regretted telling her brother now. Ron's face was red with anger.

"I'm going to owl mom and dad," he said calmly.

Ginny eyes widened with fear. "But... Ron! You promised!"

"Well, I'm breaking my promise. I'm doing this for your own good."

"RON YOU CAN'T TELL MOM AND DAD!" Ginny screamed.

"Yes I can. I'm telling them and you can't stop me." Ron replied not moving his gaze from her.

"GET OUT!" Ginny yelled shaking with anger.

Ron sighed and walked out.

"Stick a broomstick in your fucking arse!" Ginny yelled after him. She picked up the nearest breakable thing in her reach, which happened to be a glass of water, and threw it at the closed door. The glass shattered, spilling water on the floor.

Ginny collapsed on her bed. How could she tell him? What was wrong with her? How can she be so stupid? So trusting? What would mom and dad say? What if they told Dumbledore? What if she got expelled?

Ginny didn't want to think about the answers of these questions. She wished she had died. She didn't want to face the world. She wished she could stay in her bed forever.

Why did that idiotic git Malfoy have to save her? Wasn't he was supposed to be evil and do something like look down at her limp body and point and laugh?

The rest of day was a blur. She stayed in her room crying. Colin came by at lunch to ask why she missed classes. He also brought her homework and some food. Colin tried to cheer her up and Ginny told him he was an annoying idiot and that he should go stalk Harry. He scrowled deeply, tuned around and walked out.

Thankfully Ginny was the only one in her dorm. She had been alone since Helena left. This meant she could do anything she wanted. And what she wanted right now was to smash things. Lots of heavy, pointy, and breakable things.

She kept hurling a glass at the wall, repairing it and doing throwing it again. After a while that got quite boring so she started digging in her trunk for something else to damage. She found two bottles. One was an almost empty vodka bottle and the other was a wine bottle. Ginny decided she would drink them first and then break them. 'Great, now I can get drunk too' thought Ginny sarcastically. If she had to live she might as well get drunk.

The vodka bottle was quickly emptied and smashed on the floor. Soon after that the now empty wine bottle joined it on the floor. She went to the window and lit up a cigarette. The alcohol was making it hard to stand properly so when someone knocked on her door she quickly put out the cigarette and went to sit on her bed.

It turned out to be Neville. It cheered her up a bit. A very little bit. Neville was the closest thing she had to a friend. Sometimes they studied together or just sat in the common room talking. Recently that had happened rarely, if ever. Most of the time he was with the Trio.

After Neville left she decided to go to her spot near the lake. It was a patch of trees that hid you from view. She didn't think anyone else knew about it because it was not very easy to get to and it was near the Forbidden Forest. Ginny was about to head out the door when something caught her eye. It was the old Swiss Army knife her grandfather had given her. It was from the Second World War, but was charmed to look like it was bought yesterday. An idea came over her, and she pocketed it. She also picked up her pack of cigarettes and locked the door behind her.

If you didn't count the fact that he saved Weasley in the early hours of the morning Draco's day was pretty normal. He got detention for skipping double Transfiguration. Hey, he's a busy man!

Draco was in the library, actually. He had been researching wizard's debt. There wasn't much information on that. He did find some useful things, though. The thing that cought his attention was they had a bond. The book didn't have much detail on that except that neither could commit suicide but they could still be murdered. 'Very comforting,' though Draco.

Draco couldn't help glancing at the Gryffindor table during meals. He didn't see Weasley all day. What was her first name anyway? Draco wondered during dinner. 'Jenny? No…' Draco searched his brain, 'Um…G-something …Ginny! What a childish name. I wonder what her real name is… Hm…Ginny… probably Virginia.' Not that he cared, really. But Virginia sounded much better. Pansy's annoying voice snapped him out of thoughts.

"Is there something wrong, Drakie?" asked Pansy placing a hand oh his thigh.

"Don't call me that!" hissed Draco, standing up. He quickly started towards the dungeons, hoping to get away from her. Apparently that didn't work because he saw her enter the Slytherin common room in a few minutes.

"You seem upset, Drakie. Anything I can do to cheer you up?" said Pansy as she slid in the seat next to him.

Before she could get her hands on him he quickly stood up. "You could leave me alone," he said as he walked out of the common room.

He wondered where he could get away from her. Maybe the lake? It was worth a try. And besides, he had spent enough time in the library today. He knew a spot on the edge of the Forbidden Forest that hid you from the castle's view. He quickly walked out the front doors and headed to wards the lake.
