Chapter Six
Harry looked at the girl sitting across from him. He had spent all week trying to talk to here, but nothing happened. Ginny wouldn't say a thing. She had been pulled aside by so many teachers, she barely went to class, and although Harry only saw bits of this happening to her, the amounts of homework she left on the tables when she went to bed was enough to make Harry come to this assumption. But today, Ginny had that sad look in her eyes, the look Harry had only seen once before.
"Ginny, could you pass the mashed potatoes?" Harry asked, trying to find any reason to talk to her.
"Get them yourself. You seem to be able to save people from You-Know-Who, but you can't get your own potatoes? Your pathetic." Ginny snapped at him. She bit her lip, and it started to bleed.
"Ginny, why are you biting you lip? You do know it is starting to bleed?" Harry asked, now concerned.
"Just leave me alone!" She screamed, and ran. She started to cry, and people were looking. Ron saw his sister run out of the Great Hall, and stood up to follow her. Harry did the same, and called Ron's name, to let him know that he was coming.
"Ron, wait! I'm coming too!" Harry yelled, catching up with the other boy.
"Harry, hey, um, do you really think you should come?" Ron said, finding it hard to look at Harry.
"Why not? I want to help you find Ginny! This is a really big place if you haven't noticed. You should have some help." Harry said, acting like he was stating the obvious.
"Ya, well, Mione told me that she thinks that you like Ginny. And, Harry, you sure are acting like it. And Ginny hates you now." Ron said, finally looking at Harry.
"Well, I think I might like her now. So, just let it be. I'm leaving." Harry was mad now. Why would Hermione tell Ron such a thing? He told her not to tell! But Harry could worry about that later. He knew were Ginny was, and he only had a little bit of time before anything happened.
Harry ran to the familiar place. Tonight, the tower was really cold, and Harry wrapped his robes around himself to keep warm. To his surprise, Ginny wasn't in the Astronomy Tower. This surprised Harry, so he left.
Harry was walking to someplace, he didn't know, when he heard crying. Harry looked at the door were he heard the crying. He was right in front of the Room of Requirement. Harry was surprised by were the crying was coming from, but when he opened, the door, the feeling of surprise vanished. Ginny was sitting in the corner of the dark, cool, black room. Harry closed the door and walked over to Ginny.
"Shh. What's wrong Ginny? Why are you crying?" Harry asked, pulling the girl off of the floor into his arms. Ginny's crying grew softer after she felt the security of Harry's arms. "What happened? Tell me." Harry knew he should back off, like Hermione said. But what happened next made his stomach do somersaults. Ginny turned and buried her head in Harry's chest.
"Mum, Mum, she, she. she is. is going to, to. to take me, me, me home! She is t.. taking me away from Hogwarts! She wants me to stay at St. Mungos! Just. just be.. because Ron. he, he told her!" Ginny said trying to talk as she sobbed. "I don't want to leave Harry! I, I, I want to, to stay!" Ginny cried even harder now.
"I won't let that happen Ginny, I won't." Harry said, pulling her closer to him. Harry held the girl, wondering why she would be telling him this. Just moments ago, she hated him. Now, she was lying in his arms, crying on his robes.
Then, a scream could be heard throughout the castle. It pierced the night air, and vibrated off the walls of the frozen castle. "What was that?" Harry asked, taking his mind off the girl in his arms.
"Sounded like Mione." Ginny said wiping the tears out of her eyes with Harry's robes.
"Hermione?" Harry finally took in the feeling of the situation. "Holy crap! Malfoy!" Harry yelled, picking Ginny up, and ruining the romantic feeling of the room. "He's got her." Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and led her out of the room.
Ron ran by and yelled, "This way! Somebody's got Mione! We got to stop them! Come on. Harry," Ron had a confused look on his face. "Why are you holding Ginny's arm? You really got it bad man. Real bad." Ron tried not to laugh, and then he remembered why he had even ran into Harry. "The scream came from this way. Ron ran down the corridor, and Harry followed, still holding Ginny's hand.
"She was here. Harry, who could have taken her?" Ron said looking at Harry. Ron had led him to a window that was open, and the curtains were blowing in the ice-cold breeze.
A/N: Just to let you know, if you are challenged with the time, as I am, that this chapter is about four days later. Once again, please review. I haven't updated lately, because I have absolutely no time, and the stupid teachers at school think that just because they are growing little children, and need their sleep, we should deprive them of it, and that makes no sense at all, but I only got five hours of sleep last night, and I am ready to fall asleep now. So, before I give you my whole life story, I will go, and leave you with another cliffy. I have no school tomorrow, so chappie seven tomorrow folks!
