Should I stay or should I go? If I go there will be trouble. If I stay there will be double.
-The Clash
--------------------------
Draco Malfoy was in a coma for three days. Ginny heard this after overhearing Pansy rave on and on about how she missed her 'Drackey-Poo'. Ginny cringed at the pest name. Somehow the day he woke (Draco), Ron heard about Ginny's part in Draco's rescue.
"Ginny, you should have left him there!" Ron scolded. Ginny left, however, after a few minuets of berating and was summoned to the headmaster's office.
"What you did a few days ago for Draco was very brave." Dumbledore told her. "For your efforts I am awarding 115 points to Griffindor!"
Ginny's eyes flew up at her Professor. "That's a lot of points!" she said. "Was his wounds that serious?"
"I'm afraid so," Dumbledore answered seriously. "If you hadn't stumbled upon him, he would have died."
--------------------------
After that Ginny found herself walking to the hospital wing.
"Oh screw Ron," she said to herself after some hesitation. She pushed open the door and saw the 'invalid' on a bed near the end. She walked up, her face emotionless as always.
"Hello," she said in front of his bed.
His head snapped up from the book he was immersed in.
"Oh it's you," he said slightly sneering.
Ginny said nothing.
"They told me what you did and you didn't have to."
Ginny, having steeled herself towards his ingratitude, simply replied, "You would have died."
"Well if you are expecting money or something-."
-Well so much for a steel wall thing. In a flash Ginny was in his face.
"A think you would have been nice, you insufferable bastard. But then again I guess you can't. 'Sorry' isn't in your vocabulary is it?" and before Draco actually had time to retort she was gone.
Ginny, outside, chided herself for loosing control. 'Don't' know what I was expecting though.'
---------------------------
Meanwhile, Hermione was in the library and she discovered something.
-------------------------
A few days later Ginny saw Malfoy during lunch. He was sneering as usual,no surprise there.
"What a pig," she said to herself. "Him and his stupid hair and eyes and..." she fumed digging for more insults. "And he's mean! Very mean! So there!" and with that she ate her grits.
'But he does have fab............'
------------------------
Ginny never did learn what happened to Draco before she found him. The next few days were kinda weird. It was like no one cared Draco had been seriously hurt. Life went on as usual and when Ginny saw him no one spoke to him.
-----------------------
"Watch it, Muggle-Lover!" rang out Malfoy's malicious voice. This stopped Ginny in her tracks. How dare he? She spun around. They faced each other in an almost deserted hall.
"What did you say?" Ginny asked him scathingly. Malfoy smirked.
"You heard me."
Ginny glared at him, "Oh you are so..."
"Suave? Debonair?"
"Urg! Bigoted!" Ginny started to stalk off. "Oh yeah!" she turned around. "'Suave and debonair' is redundant!" and she talked off. Malfoy's smirk had disappeared. She had fire in her that one. What was her name? He teased her for years and didn't bother with names. Oh yes, Virginia. That was it. Then another annoying this hit him:
"She corrected my bloody grammar."
-------------------------
Ginny sat in the common room and worked on her Potions essay. Hermione, running in and breathing quite heavily, rushed up to Ginny.
"I have found something!" She gasped.
"What is it?" Ginny asked.
"A prophesy!"
"....And people still take you seriously, it's amazing."
"No really! I found it a few days ago and just figured most of it out!"
"Okay and who predicted it?"
"Some wizard from the 1st century lived in Egypt and stumbled on a group of followers of Isis and had them predict this." She shoved a piece of parchment in Ginny's way.
"I had to translate it from Latin so it may be a little rough."
-In the land of stone fortresses (castles) Where Cogidubnus once reigned Two will save one Two more will open a portal One is a seer The other notices One is a Walker And brings love Where there is none And all is a fake remedy For what is to come.-
"So," Ginny asked. "What does it mean?"
"Well the land of castles is obviously England."
"But the there are castles everywhere."
"Yes, but there were none in the world during the first century. How could they have known this? Anyway in the 1st century there was a king call Cogidubnus who ruled some bits of England."
"And let me guess, this is about Harry," Ginny said, annoyed. "The two will save one is obviously the Potters. You and Ron will open a portal and Ron is a seer and you noticed this prophesy. And why you came to me about it I really don't know. You obviously have it up for saving the world. Again.:
Ginny stopped her banter and they sat in silence.
"There is at least a 3rd party," Hermione broke the silence.
"What?" Ginny glanced up annoyed. "Where?"
"The bit where there is a Walker. It hasn't anything to do with the rest of those mentioned."
"What is a Walker?"
"I don't know."
"Then how do you know it's me?"
"It's a hunch," Hermione sat back and looked at Ginny.
