Ginny rubbed her eyes and stretched. She looked to her right and shot up from her bed.

"Where am I?" asked Ginny. Then her brain started to hurt and she fell back in her bed, crying. Snape ran inside the room and Draco got out of the bathroom.

"Isn't there any way to stop the pain?" asked Draco.

"It should cease soon," Snape said. Ginny looked up at them through her tears.

"Where am I?" she asked again.

"You're in Snape's room," Draco replied as he went back to the bathroom to comb his wet hair. Ginny couldn't help but stare. He had on a tight black long sleeve shirt and tight black pants. And with his wet hair, he was irresistible. She slowly sat up.

"Get dressed. Breakfast is ready. After that we will practice transferring pain," Snape said and walked out. Ginny got up and headed to her little suitcase. She got out a blue long sleeve shirt and black capri's.  She headed to the shower.

Ginny quickly dressed and brushed and then headed downstairs.

"Ginny!" cried Colin as he patted the seat next to him. Ginny giggled and took the offer. Harry was not at the table.

"Where's Harry?" asked Ginny as she poured herself a glass of milk.

"Outside on his broom," Snape said.

"Gin, isn't it a bit too warm for long sleeves?" Colin asked.

"Um, I was feeling cold when I woke up," Ginny said quickly.

"Oh, okay!" Colin replied.

Draco and Snape got up and left the room. Then Ginny followed. Colin was left alone with his sunny side up eggs.

"Snape?" Ginny asked.

"What?"

"Is there some sort of potion that can fix Colin's problem?"

"Yes, there is. I was up yesterday working on it. Luckily, there aren't any major side effects. He will sleep a lot and his hair will grow faster for a week or so, but that's it. I put it in his glass of orange juice," Snape said as they walked into the lab.

"Oh my god, thank you!" she exclaimed as she hugged him tightly. Snape cleared his throat and Ginny let go, blushing wildly.

"Both of you sit," Snape demanded as the chairs appeared. Ginny sat own cautiously next to Draco.

"It's very simple, but it requires hours of training. First, there must be some sort of pain inflicted on you," Snape said.

"You're not going to beat us, are you?" Ginny asked frightened.

"No, I will not. I will be using the Cruciatus Curse," Snape said with a evil glint in his eyes.

"What!" Ginny exclaimed as she jumped out of her chair. "That's illegal! You can't use it on us!"

"I was given permission from Albus and the Ministry. Now, seat yourself," Snape said.  Ginny sat down carefully.

"Listen up. I will start with Draco. In order to be able to transfer, you must allow yourself to open your mind so that you can feel that someone else is hurt. After that, the person in pain will imagine him or herself with less pain and imagine themselves giving the other half or more of their burden. Your imagination can do many things, if you allow it to. Once you imagine, it will happen. But this will take a while. Now, be careful. If you transfer too much pain, you may kill the other person." Ginny's eyes widened with fright.

"But that rarely happens because there usually isn't enough pain to kill unless you are experiencing the killing curse."

"We can transfer that kind of pain? What would happen?" Ginny asked.

"For example, if Draco is experiencing the killing curse, he can send half the pain or more to you and save his life. But if he sends all of it, it'll kill you," Snape explained.

"Then why don't people do that? I mean why don't they partner up Harry with someone so that if He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named shoots the curse at him, Harry can live easily?" Ginny asked.

"Because it's not that easy. When you are experiencing that curse, it's an instantaneous death. Few are lucky enough to maintain their strength and send the pain to their partner. Some get overwhelmed and send all the pain, killing their partner. It's very risky," Snape said.

"Oh," Ginny said.

"Now, let's begin. Draco, stand up," Snape commanded. Draco stood up and folded his arms across his chest.

"Now, Ginny and Draco, open up your minds. When I say the spell Draco, you must try to transfer half the pain to Ginny, got it?"

"Yep," they both replied. Snape gave them a few seconds to open their minds, then said,

"Crucio!" Draco imagined just as Snape had said and Ginny tried to open her mind, but it didn't work.

"Do not worry, It takes time," Snape said,

They practiced for 2 hours, Snape switching off between Ginny and Draco. After a while they had to stop because Ginny couldn't take all the pain.

"How do you do it?" she asked Draco. She was dizzy and every part of her body ached from the curse.

"My father's a death eater and I'm one, too. I always get the curse. I'm use to it," Draco explained.

"Go take a break. We'll try again tomorrow," Snape said. Ginny got up and headed outside. She found Harry flying around.

"Hey," she said meekly as he landed next to her. "I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry. You were right. Maybe he isn't all that bad after all. Maybe it was just his dad's influence. I don't know. I don't care whether you talk to him or not. It's your choice now," Harry apologized.

"Thanks," she said as she embraced him.

"Want to go for a spin?" Harry asked.

"I left my broom at school," Ginny said.

"You can use mine," Harry offered. Ginny smiled and gladly accepted. She hopped on and kicked off.

She had never been on the new Nimbus 4000 that Harry had received from Lupin as a birthday present last year. It was so smooth and so easy to handle. She looped-de-loop and spun around. She made a head dive and landed smoothly.

"God, this is one awesome broom!" Ginny exclaimed. Even though her body still ached, she couldn't tell. She had just had so much fun!

"Thanks," Harry said as he mounted and kicked off. Ginny left back inside the house. She found Colin wandering around.

"Gin, you won't believe it! I can remember things! It's awesome! I haven't got lost yet!" Colin cried.

"Really?" Ginny said trying to act surprised. And she was. She didn't know the potion would take effect this quick. "That's wonderful, Colin!"

His little diary flew into his hands and the title read: Feels good to remember, doesn't it?

Ginny blinked and he was gone.

"Colin?" Ginny cried. "Colin! Where did you go? Snape!" Ginny cried as she ran to the lab. She bumped right into him. "Sorry."

"What is it?" he asked.

"Colin's gone!" Ginny cried. "His diary flew to his hands and he disappeared a second later!"

"That's because he has finished his task. He's in Hogwarts now," Snape said.

"Oh," Ginny said crestfallen. She decided to go for a swim. She walked into Snape's room to get her bikini only to find Draco inside. He was on the floor, wincing in pain.

"Oh my god! What happened?" she asked as she rushed to his side. "Snape!" she cried.

Snape came rushing in. "What is it? Draco, what happened?"

"My father, he came," Draco managed to say. He clutched his left side. It seemed that his hip hurt badly. Snape dug in his closet and took out a bottle.

"Take this," Snape said. Draco drank without question. A few moments later, he no longer ached. "Did he see the tattoo?"

"No. He was just angry because the Dark Lord punished him," Draco explained as he cautiously stood up. "Seems the Dark Lord isn't getting what he wants."

"Oh," Snape said. He left the room.

"What does he want?" asked Ginny.

"The Dark Lord? I'm not sure. I think Potter knows, though. Or maybe he's seen an image of it. I mean he did have those dreams in his 5th year. I think they came back," Draco said.

"Maybe I should ask him," Ginny offered.

"If you want to, go ahead. Just don't get yourself mixed up in this situation," Draco cautioned. Ginny got up and headed to Harry's room. But she never got there.
