Ginny woke up to the sounds of breakfast the next day. She was very uncomfortable due

to laying on something extremely hard. She rolled over and opened her eyes. A book laid in front

of her, undisturbed. Moments later, Draco was beginning to stir. He sat up and yawned.

"Surprised you didn't find a painful way to wake me up this morning."

"I have more matters on my mind than a bloody ferret, though I do enjoy watching your

pain."

"What would a weasel with the brain the size of a pea have to think about?" Draco

snorted.

"Much more than a ferret whose only thoughts are on himself all day."

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"Are you too stupid to figure it out for yourself? It means you're a self-centered git."

"Me? Self-centered?"

"Yeah, that's what I said. Are you as deaf as you are stupid?"

For once, Draco opened his mouth but no sound came out. He was dumbfounded and

beaten by a weasel, of all people.

Ginny gave him a satisfied look before dragging him into the bathroom to get ready and

then again down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

After breakfast, Ginny and Draco went about their classes. The professors piled on the

homework. Ginny groaned. How was she supposed to finish all the homework and still find time

to work on the riddle? She raced through lunch and dragged Draco to the library before he could

even take a bite. Draco protested the whole way but Ginny just ignored him. She sat down and

started to do all her homework with books piled to the sky. As soon as lunch was over, she

stuffed her books in her bag and ran off to the next class. She ate a quick dinner and went back

up to her room to finish her homework. Draco grumbled. It was late at night by the time Ginny

finished her homework. Draco had long been asleep.

The rest of the week wasn't much better. She had so much homework everyday that she

barely got any sleep and woke up with dark circles under her eyes. She found herself dozing off

in class but forced herself to stay awake. She was so grateful when it was finally the weekend.

She tried to catch up on sleep but found it difficult since Draco kept annoying her. He was

starving. He hadn't had a decent meal for what seemed like ages.

"Come on, you bloody weasel! I need to eat and you may be a weasel, but you must be

hungry, too!"

Ginny finally got up. "Fine! I can't stand the high-pitched shrill in my ear! How do expect

anybody to sleep in this racket?!" She was hungry, too, but didn't want to admit it to Draco.

For once in a week, Ginny finally sat down to a good meal. The moment Draco saw the

food he began to stuff himself with as much food as he could handle. Ginny glared at him and

returned to her breakfast. After breakfast, Draco was once again dragged off to the library to

work.

"Don't you ever do anything fun?!" he grumbled.

"My idea of fun is when I finally get away from you bloody ferret."

Ginny took the book and began flipping through the pages to the one about le fleur

d'amour. "Let's see. it was used when the world was an angry place. it was said to make

people feel peace. it says that it grows on the edge of the Forbidden Forest and to grow it, you

have to get a seed from the center of the flower..."

Draco was staring off into space, not listening to a word she said. "Huh? What?"

"MALFOY! You're supposed to be helping me!"

"You look like you've got it under control."

"Well you could AT LEAST listen to what I say!"

"Ok. ok. temper temper."

This made Ginny even angrier. "Shut up! Why do you have to be so annoying?! Come

on! Let's go!"

"Where are we going?"

"You would know if you were listening to a word I was saying!"

With that, she stomped off, dragging Draco behind her. Outside, students turned around

to look at the fuming Ginny dragging a protesting Draco, arguing all the way.

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Ginny caught sight of the flower and walked towards

it, still arguing with Draco. A faint mist surrounded the flowers, making the surrounding air glow

with a sparkling green. As soon as Ginny walked into the mist, she suddenly stopped arguing and

felt a great peace overcoming her body. Draco was still growling, "What? Can't stand arguing,

can you?"

Just then, he stepped into the mist and felt a sudden peace come over him. "This must

be what they mean by the peace you feel around this flower," Ginny whispered. Then, she bent

down and slowly picked a seed from the middle of the flower and put it in a little container. Then

she and Draco walked back to Hogwarts, without a word was said between them.
