Chapter 16- Hospital Wing

Ginny was sitting up in her hospital bed reading the latest issue of Witch Weekly that Madam Pomfrey had given her to pass the time. She was told earlier that morning that she would most likely be in the hospital wing till tomorrow afternoon. Which meant that she wouldn't be back to class until Monday morning.

"How are you feeling this morning, Miss Weasley?" Professor Dumbledore said as he walked into the hospital wing. "May I have a word with you?"

Ginny looked up at the sound of Professor Dumbledore's voice. "Hello Professor. I'm feeling a little better than I was feeling last night." She said as she closed her magazine and put it on the table beside her. "What do you want to talk about?" Ginny asked when her full attention was on Professor Dumbledore.

"I would like for you to tell me exactly what happened last night." He said as he sat down on a chair near her bed.

Ginny nodded her head and began telling her story. "Yesterday morning I received a necklace and a letter from a secret admirer. The note said that if I wanted to know who he was to meet him in the garden by the rosebushes." She paused for a moment. "So naturally I wanted to know." She smiled. "I mean what girl wouldn't. Besides, I wanted to tell him I had no interest, because I'm with Draco."

Dumbledore sat their listening to her ever word. His face didn't give away anything he was thinking.

"Later that night I met him out there and it turned out to be Harry. I told him that I had no interest in him romantically and that I was with Draco." Ginny pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear and continued. "Well he didn't seem to like what I said and he grabbed me by the shoulders and asked me what Draco has that he doesn't." She smiled. "I told him Draco had my heart."

Dumbledore nodded at this and smiled slightly.

"Next thing I knew he was trying to kiss me. I tried to push him away from me, but he was just to strong. I don't know what happened to him. He was like a totally different Harry." She said looking Dumbledore in the eye. "Then all of the sudden I was free of his grip and Harry was laying on the ground holding his jaw. I looked over and saw Draco standing by him and immediately ran behind him for protection."

Dumbledore once again nodded his head. "What happened next, Ginny?" He asked.

"Well Draco told him to never touch me again and Harry responded with something along the lines of 'I'll do what I want.'" Ginny paused for a second then continued. "Next thing I know they both have their wands out and Harry casted a charm at Draco. Without thinking I pushed him out of the way and the charm hit me instead." Ginny sighed. "Professor, Draco only casted a charm at Harry in self defense. Harry started the duel."

"What would you like me to do about Harry, Ginny?" He asked.

"Don't expel him, but I do believe he needs a proper punishment. After all it is his fault I am in here." She answered.

Professor Dumbledore stood to leave. "Well thank you for telling me what happened. I do hope you feel better." He said kindly then left the hospital wing so she could get her rest.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How are you feeling?" Asked Draco as he sat down on the bed beside her. "You look better today." He said smoothly.

"I feel much better than I did last night. Pomfrey said I could leave tomorrow afternoon." She smiled. "And I've been excused from classes until Monday morning."

Draco smirked at her. "Well all the teachers were asking about you today. They all probably miss their brightest student."

"Did anyone else ask about me?" She asked quietly.

"Pansy did. She told me to tell you she hopes you feel better." He said then paused for a moment. "Has anyone been up to see you yet?"

"Professor Dumbledore was here this morning, but other than that you are my first visitor." She said smiling.

"He talked to me this morning too. He said Harry will be punished for his actions." He nodded his head. "And he damn well should be."

Ginny nodded her head in agreement with Draco then heard someone enter the hospital wing.

"How you doing, Gin?" Came the voice of Ryan from the door.

"Come on over." She motioned for him to sit down in the chair beside her bed. "And I feel better than last night." She grinned. "You should have seen me. I was a nasty mess."

"A beautiful nasty mess." Draco added then looked over at Ryan and nodded his head to acknowledge his presence.

"Talk about you was buzzing through the common room this morning." He said shaking his head in disgust.

"What were they saying?" Ginny asked concerned.

Ryan looked over at Draco then back at Ginny. "Well Harry has been telling people that you came on to him and that you only fought back when you noticed Draco was near." Ryan quietly.

"He what!" Ginny practically yelled. "Does everyone believe him?" She asked annoyed.

Draco looked at Ryan. "That bastard. How could he say such a thing?"

Ryan looked at Ginny. "Well some people do, but I don't believe it for a second. I know how hooked you are on this guy." He gestured over to Draco. "I was about to hit him when I heard him talking, but I thought that it wasn't my place to get in the middle of this just yet."

"Well thank you for telling us this." Draco said. "Harry will be dealt with accordingly. There is no way I'm going to let him go around spreading lies about her." He looked at Ryan.

Ryan nodded his head at Draco then looked at Ginny who looked very upset. "No Draco, I'll take care of Scar Head when I get out of here tomorrow." She looked back and forth between Draco and Ryan. "And I'm going to do it publicly."

Ryan grinned. "Get him Ginny. Make that prick wish he was never born."

Draco looked over at Ryan grinning. "Your alright, Ryan. Your all right."

Ryan nodded his head to Draco. "Your not so bad yourself." He then stood up to leave. "Well I'm going to head out of here so you can get your rest Ginny. I'll come back later tonight or tomorrow morning. Feel Better."

"I'm going to go too, Gin." He said before looking over at Ryan. "Oh and I need to talk to you." Draco said standing up next to him.

Ginny smiled and looked at Draco suspiciously. "Alright Draco, but try not to get Ryan into to much trouble with what your thinking about." She said grinning.

Draco just grinned at her then over at Ryan grinning. "Me get anyone in trouble?" He looked back at Ginny innocently. "I could never do that." Then he turned and walked out of the hospital wing.

Ryan nodded his head and follow him out.

Ginny watched the two of them leave and thought to herself. "I wonder what he is up to." She then smirked. "I bet its something bad."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that evening Ginny awoke to find a black owl sitting on the end of her bed. She sat up, leaned forward and took the letter from him. She looked over the letter wondering who it was from then quickly opened it. She then began reading.

Dear Virginia,

It has come to my attention that Harry Potter attacked you last night and hit you with a charm. Do not do anything to retaliate back at him. Let him think he got away with it for now. Accept his apologies and go on treating him like you did before this happened. Draco and Ryan will carry out my orders against him. I have already spoke to both of them privately. I am not going to give you details in this letter. Draco and Ryan will let you know what is going on as soon as they can talk to you privately.

Be well and Rest,

Tom

As soon as Ginny finished the letter it burst into flames and disappeared. When she looked at the foot of her bed where the bird had been sitting all that was left was a tiny box. She picked up the box and opened it. Inside was a key and a small letter reading. "Keep it safe. A fortune awaits you. -Tom"

Ginny picked up the key and noticed it to be a key that is used in Gringotts Bank. She wondered what could be awaiting her.

"Whacha got there?" Came the voice of Draco. He was sitting in the chair beside her.

Ginny looked over at him grinning. "A gift from Tom." She said smiling. "And I believe you and Ryan have something to tell me." She stated.

"We will tell you tomorrow night. I just stopped in to say good night and to pass along a message about that key." He smirked. "It is a key to your own Vault in Gringotts Bank. #326"

Her eyes widened like a kid in a candy store. "I have my own vault now?"

He nodded his head. "And every galleon inside it too." He said smiling.

Ginny smiled then took the key and hung it around her neck. It was small so she could easily put it on the chain with a Serpent charm necklace she wears everyday. "Cool."

"Well good night, Gin. Come to my room tomorrow when you are released. We will be waiting for you." He said before getting up kissing her on the fore head and leaving the hospital Wing.

After Draco left she laid back down in bed and tried to get some rest. For she had a feeling she would be up late tomorrow night talking to Draco and Ryan about what Lord Voldemort told them.
