Ginny sat in the common room in front of the fire, turning over everything Draco had told her in the hospital wing. It had been two days and she hadn't eaten anything. The only thing she would let herself consume was water when Hermione brought some up for her. Already she had lost seven pounds and felt weaker than ever.
The portrait hole opened and Hermione stepped through. In her arms she carried a few bottles of water. She sat down beside Ginny and handed her one.
"Ginny, you have to eat something soon. What you're doing isn't healthy, and if you miss any more class then you're going to fail the mid- terms." Hermione told Ginny as she took a sip of the water.
"I know, I know. But I just can't go out there, not now. I'm still trying to figure out everything."
"Like what, exactly?"
"I'd rather not talk about it." Ginny turned away, staring at the flames in the fireplace.
"Alright. I won't press the matter if you don't want to talk. But if there is anything you want to talk about, you know you can always come to me, right?" Hermione got up and opened the portrait hole.
"Yea. Thanks, 'Mione." Ginny smiled as Hermione stepped through the portrait hole.
'Maybe he really means it.' Ginny thought to herself. After a minute or two of thinking, Ginny took her quill pen and some parchment and started writing. Her pen made soft scratching noises as it sped across the parchment.
Ginny finished and put her quill down. She folded the parchment in a peculiar way so that it wouldn't come undone. Getting up, she crept out of the common room and into the deserted corridor and set off to find the portrait of Sir Camelot, one of her dearest friends at Hogwarts.
She stopped, out of breath and lightheaded, to find herself in front of a portrait with a stout knight in silver armor atop a majestic black dragon.
"Ah! Miss Ginny! How are you and how may I assist you today?" said the stout little knight.
"Hello Sir Camelot. I need a favor. Can you give this note to the portrait leading to the Head Boy's room? Tell him to give it to Draco Malfoy, please." Ginny said, handing Sir Camelot the note.
"Certainly! Good-day to you, Ginny. Hyah!" Sir Camelot said, ushering his dragon forward, through to the other portraits.
Ginny headed down to the Great Hall. Her hunger was finally getting to her and she thought the chances of seeing Draco there very slim. She reached the corridor that branched off to the Great Hall when the door started opening.
'Oh no!' Ginny froze in place as Draco and his friend emerged from the Great Hall.
"Don't forget, Draco, quidditch practice tomorrow!" said the red- haired boy next to him. He ran off the opposite direction and Draco turned towards Ginny.
They both froze when their eyes met. It was the first time Draco had seen her since she was in the hospital wing.
"Draco, I-"
"No, Ginny. I wanted to apologize. I know you're probably trying to sort things out right now, but all I wanted to do was let you know how I feel."
Ginny heard nothing more. Her vision became so blurry until it became nothing but a black void of emptiness. There was a loud ringing in her ear and she became dizzy to the point where she felt the whole world was spinning. Her body fell to the floor, rigid and ice-cold.
"Ginny!"
