Despite Ginny insisting that she was all right, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Neville all decided to stick as close to her as possible until they reached Hogwarts great hall.
"I'm telling you I'm fine!" Ginny snapped as Ron and Harry jumped off the train, wands in hand, and looked around for Malfoy before allowing her to step off at the station.
"Ginny, we don't know what Malfoy is up to and we just want to make sure nothing like what happened on the train occurs again," Hermione reasoned.
"I can take care of myself, and as far as I know of all he wanted was just to irritate you three, which he obviously did a good job of!"
"You did an excellent job taking care of yourself back there or did you enjoy sitting on Malfoy's lap?" snapped Ron.
"How dare you! It was three against two and Neville and I were doing fine until I lost my wand, which we still haven't found. How am I suppose to do magic without a wand?"
"You didn't seem to have any trouble on the train separating us without a wand," Harry said under his breath.
Ginny turned and glared at him. "I'm going to find Luna. Her dad was supposed to drop her off. I'll ride with her; at least she doesn't think I can't take care of myself."
She started to walk by Harry toward the thestral carriages when a flash of whitish- blonde hair caught Harry's attention - Malfoy. Crabbe and Goyle, looking a little worse for wear, were behind him as they made their way over toward Ginny.
Quickly Harry grabbed Ginny's hand as she went past.
"Harry I'm going to the -"
"I'm sorry Ginny, it's for your own good," he said cutting her off and quickly picking her up and putting her over his shoulder.
"Harry put me down this instant!"
"Come on Ron, Hermione," Harry stated as he started making his way to the carriages with Ginny still yelling.
"Bloody brilliant mate," Ron said smiling.
"Barbarians," Hermione muttered.
"This is ridiculous. Harry James Potter you put me down this second or you will regret it. I am a prefect! I swear when I find my wand.," Ginny warned as Harry walked.
Harry could feel the heat radiating from Ginny. Although she wasn't very big, it felt like her anger was heating up his entire body. He was sure the temperature went up a few degrees every step he took and he truly wasn't looking forward to dealing with her temper when he set her down. For a brief moment he wondered if he could just keep her like this.
"Urggg! Colin! Neville! Somebody help me! I swear Harry you will be on the receiving end of the worst Bat Bogey Hex ever known if you don't put me down this second!"
"You know it isn't a good thing Potter, when the woman you're with shouts out someone else's name, let alone Longbottom's or Creevey's," came a familiar drawl from beside him.
Quickly four wands were pointed at Malfoy.
"Go away Malfoy," warned Hermione as Neville just glared, with his wand pointed at Malfoy's throat.
"I should hex you into the ground," hissed Ron.
"Now, now Weasley. I just came over here to return this to your sister," he said as he extended his hand. Ginny's wand rested inside it. "I was going to wait until later, but having heard her say she wanted to hex Potter I couldn't wait."
"You better not have done anything to Ginny's wand," Harry stated as he reached out and took the wand from Malfoy.
Malfoy just smirked and turned away before jumping in a carriage.
"Come on we have to go," said Hermione. "I'll ask McGonagall to check Ginny's wand for hexes or jinx after the welcoming feast."
"Right." nodded Harry. "Let's go."
Ginny fumed the entire ride to the gated of Hogwarts. She spoke to no one and dashed out of the carriage as soon as it stopped.
"You can't blame her," Hermione told Ron and Harry. "I would be furious too. I'm sure Ginny can handle herself and you total undermined her authority status as a prefect."
"We're prefect's too Hermione, and I didn't see you making too many objections at the time," snapped Ron. "I'm going to have to keep an eye on Ginny from now on. Who is she patrolling with on rounds again?"
"Colin."
"I'm just going to have to put a tracking charm on her and borrow your map Harry just to make sure she's all right."
"I'm sure no one's gong to try anything on Ginny while she's making her rounds," Harry said. "I think half the school is afraid of her hexes."
"Nervous Harry? I'm sure Ginny wouldn't hex you or anything" Ron said patting his friend on the back as they sat down. "I think."
