Harry couldn't believe his ears,

"Pansy...Pansy Parkinson. She did this to you?"

"Yes. I was walking back from the Quidditch pitch alone, and suddenly out of no where Pansy appeared with Millicent and Blaise. They cornered me and did this, apparently it will teach me from nicking Pansy's man. They then laughed and ran away, it's taken me 30 minutes to get here, I think they may of broken my ribs." Ginny rubbed her ribs gingerly, Harry didn't know what to say. He wanted to hunt down Pansy and feed her to a mountain troll, but that wouldn't help Ginny right now, she was crying again.

"Harry what am I going to..."

"Hiya Harry, what you up...Ginny? Ginny whats wrong with you? Who did this to you?" Ron had turned Ginny to face him. He gasped loudly then turned a very voilent shade of red.

"Tell me, who has done this to you?" His voice was eeriely calm.

"It was no one Ron, I just tripped." Ginny was crying more now than ever.

"Ginny you don't trip and end up looking like you. Someone's beaten you up. Who was it?" His voice had raised a little.

"No One! I tripped." Ginny looked at Harry for help.

"Ron she did, I was with her. We were walking up the stairways and she fell. I tried to stop her but..."

"DON'T LIE TO ME!" Both Harry and Ginny jumped.

"TELL ME WHO DID THIS TO YOU."

"Why, so you can go and beat them up." Ginny snapped,

"No so I can hex them back to the stone age."

"Ron you doing that won't help. I don't want anyone to find out who did this." Ginny insisted,

"Why not, when people see you like that there going to want to know. Tell me I promise I won't do anything. I just want to know, so if I ever feel like throwing someone off a building I can go and fetch them." Ron replied.

"I'm not telling Ron, you'll do something I know you will. Then you'll get in to trouble and maybe end up suspended, what with you already having 4 detentions to serve."

"Gin please tell me, I'm your brother. I promise for now I won't do anything your right I have too much to risk. I just need to know. Please." All of Ron's anger had seemed to of disappeared, he generally looked upset and worried for his sister.

"It was Pansy Parkinson alright. She did this to warn me to stay of her man, Draco." Ginny intently watched Ron, he nodded slowly then paced a little. He then finally looked at her,

"Were taking you to the Hospital Wing." And before Ginny could reply, he had picked her up and disappeared through the door.

*************************************************************

"Hows Ginny doing?" Hermione asked Harry during Charms.

"Ok, they let her out this morning, her ribs have healed completely thanks to Madame Pomfrey, but she still has a few scratches. I just hope Ron keeps his word." Harry whispered as he looked at his red-haired freind.

"He will, I'll make sure of that. Besides if he recieves one more detention Mrs.Weasley will be informed and Ron's sensible enough not to let it get that far." Hermione smiled at Ron as he turned to look at them.

"Hermy how do you make the feather rotate whilst still changing colour?" He flashed her his best grin.

"Ron we did this in first year remember?! Your meant to be revising not asking others."

"Well the only reason why I asked was to stop you two from talking about me." Hermione and Harry flashed him a guilty smile. Ron however, had returned to his work.

Hermione quickly got out a spare piece of parchment and wrote,

"How did he know we were talking about him?"

"Beleive me Hermione he knows more than you realise. Remember the night I said I was going to look at the new Firebolt he'd got?" She nodded,

"Well I never got to see the Firebolt, Ron was there but he wasn't alone. Fred, George, Percy, Charlie and Bill were also there. They threatened me to look after Ginny right. They laid down some rules and then threatened if I ever broke one of them, they'd kill me. They were saying that they knew more than I could ever imagine. They even knew what time Snape washed his un-mentionables." Harry shuddered at the last part.

"I also got the talk, but just of Ginny. She was so scary, I thought she was going to kill me there and then. She also said that if I ever hurt Ron, I'd better run and hide for the rest of my life. She said that she knew why Filch really had chains in the dungeons." Suddenly some words appeared on the parchment.

"you do understand how wrong this is. Your now talking about my sister too. Get back to work."

They both looked at the back of Ron's head, then continued with their work.

*******************************************************************

Ginny had decided to go to dinner that night, well she had to show her face at some point. She had been sent back to her dorm to rest all day, then was aloud to go back to lessons tomorrow. Everyone stared as she entered, but her head was held high, she sat next to Harry, facing Ron and Hermione.

"Hey Gin you feeling okay?" Hermione asked,

"Could be better, but you know." A sudden burst of laughter came from the Slytherin table, every head had turned to Ginny.

"Just ignore them." Harry smiled sweetly whilst taking hold of her hand. A sudden trigger went of inside of her head, that was it she had to yell. She yanked her hand away from Harry's and stood,

"WHY ARE YOU HOLDING MY HAND HARRY? LAVENDER CAN'T SEE IF IT'S UNDER THE TABLE, MIND YOU SHE DOESN'T PAY ATTENTION ANY MORE ANYWAY." The whole hall had stopped,

"YOU KNOW WHAT NEITHER WOULD I! SO WHAT IF SHE HURT YOU LAST YEAR, THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN RUBBING ME IN HER FACE WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING. AND WHILST YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SUCCESSFULLY GETTING BACK AT HER YOU WERE USING ME. YOU'VE HURT ME BAD HARRY, LOOK AT WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YOU IN THE LAST WEEK AND 2 DAYS. I'VE PRETENDED TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND, I'VE LYED TO MY BROTHER AND MY BEST FRIEND. YOU KISSED ME BACK IN THE HALLWAY THEN PUSHED ME AWAY LIKE A PIECE OF DIRT. I'VE BEEN BEATEN UP BY PANSY PARKINSON BECAUSE MALFOY WANTS TO MAKE YOU JEALOUS, MAKING HER JEALOUS." Pansy and Malfoy hid their faces,

"I'VE HAD SOOOOO MANY DIRTY LOOKS OF ALL THE GIRLS, AND TO TOP IT OFF YOU SAY TO ME 'JUST IGNORE THEM'. WELL GUESS WHAT I CAN'T, YOUR DRIVING ME MAD AND INSANE. I'M SO CONFUSED BY THE WAY OUR FRIENDSHIPS GOING, THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME QUITE A FEW HEADACHES. YOU NEED TO SORT YOUR HEAD OUT." Everyone looked like Ron now, they had the gaping goldfish routine down to a tee.

"YEAH THAT'S RIGHT EVERYONE DON'T LOOK SO SHOCKED, ME AND HARRY HAD A STUPID LITTLE BET ON OUR BEST FRIENDS AND I LOST. SO I GOT TO PRETEND TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND TO GET BACK AT LAVENDER. WERE NOT THE PERFECT COUPLE YOU ALL THINK WE ARE, INFACT WERE FAR FROM IT. NOW IF YOU'D EXCUSE ME I'M GOING TO LEAVE NOW, I FEEL I'VE EMBARRESED MYSELF ENOUGH THIS WEEK ALREADY, WITH OUT HAVING YOU LOT ALL WATCHING ME TOO." And with that Ginny ran from the hall crying. Harry sat there petrified, even Dumbledore looked shocked. Ginny had a lot of pent up tension that was for sure, and wouldn't you if you'd had a week like her?
