Chapter 12

"LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Ginny roared at Madame Pomfrey.

"I will, dear, but only if you let me take your temperature."

"NO!"

"Well, fine, if you die of a high fever it's not my fault. Leave! I've had enough of your attitude." Madame Pomfrey said, looking perturbed.

"Well I've had enough of that ugly robe of yours. Honestly, when did you buy it? The Middle Ages?" Ginny said.

"Hmmpphh," Pomfrey said as she walked away.

"Yes, freedom," Ginny thought as she got out of bed.

Only the night before had the mysterious "person" come into the hospital wing. Ginny still did not know who it was that argued with her in the darkness but she had a vague sense of who it was. The person was obviously male, and wore expensive clothing. He was very sarcastic with her. At first she thought it was Malfoy, but Malfoy had dissappeared and the strange fellow had on a Gryffindor tie. "Could it be? No! It couldn't have been him. Why would he come visit me in the Hospital wing. Eww, what if he's starting to like me?" Ginny thought to herself as she left the Hospital wing.

Breakfast was about to be served and Ginny raced down to the Great Hall. As she entered she looked to the Slytherin table on impulse and to her surprise, and relief, though she wouldn't admit it, she saw Malfoy sitting beside Zabini, talking as if nothing had happened and his father wasn't looking for him.

Ginny turned away, and walked over to her table. She sat down next to Colin, who stared at her as if she were an alien. "Why are you staring at me?" she asked, not looking up from her plate of food.

"You just don't have your peircings in and you're not wearing eyeliner." Colin stated, stil staring at her.

"Yeah, well, the healing wench told me to take them off while I was in the hospital wing. She said it was "unlady like" to have peircings. I told her atleast I don't look like Parkinson. I think I actually saw her laugh." Ginny stated in a monotone.

"Are you okay, Gin? Did the 'healing wench' tell you why you fainted?" Colin asked, looking worried.

"I'm fine, Creevey. She said I only fainted because I was under a lot of stress or something. Nothing to worry about as long as I take things easy for a while." Ginny said, patting Colin's shoulder to let him know she was fine.

"Ok, but Ginny, does she realise that it is impossible for you to take things 'easy'? You're basically a wildcat." Colin stated, eating some eggs at the same time.

"I told her I would relax, I just didn't tell her how. And, Colin, eww, chew with your mouth closed." Ginny said, turning away disgusted.

"Sorry," Colin said, his mouth full of food.

"When did Malfoy come back?" Ginny asked.

"It turned out he never left the school. People found him unconcious on the floor in his 'private' bedroom. Someone hexed him into oblivion, and no one has confessed to doing it. There is a rumor going around that his father did it, but then why would his father make such a fuss about it yesterday?" Colin said, looking at Malfoy curiously as he talked.

"So he was in the school all along, and he must have been in the Hospital Wing last night. Maybe I saw the color of his tie wrong because of the poor lighting." Ginny murmured to herself.

"What?" Colin asked, looking confused.

"Nothing," Ginny said, getting up from the table, preparing to leave for her first class.

"I'll see you at lunch, Colin. I'm going to go to class." Ginny said quickly as she left the Great Hall.

She walked down the corridor and down to the stairs that lead to her Divination class. She took a seat on the floor next to some person who she didn't care to know, and waited for the lesson to begin. Professor McGonagall walked into the class room and announced...
