A/N: I own nothing that you see in the Harry Potter books. :'( They all belong to the most wonderful person on the planet... J.K. Rowling!!!
The next morning, Ron was still somber about what he had heard that night. He walked around with his head down, Hermione at his side, and he wouldn't talk to Harry.
"Are you sure that you're O.K., Ron?" Hermione asked after lunch. "Yeah," he paused, "No, I'm not alright. How could he say that? Why would he say that?" "Ron, Ginny's been saying for over a year now. How Harry was abusive, how she couldn't stop it, how she thought it was her fault, and how no one would believe her. Evan I couldn't believe her at first."
"I guess I chose not to believe her. I mean, I never thought that Harry could be so cold hearted." "Don't worry, Ron. You've still have me, Ginny, the other Gryffindors, and now Draco Malfoy. He's changed. He's even nice to me, the mudblood."
"Don't call yourself that, Hermione." A voice said from behind them. They turned to see Harry panting to catch up with them. "Harry!" Hermione gasped. Harry didn't notice the way she said his name and continued, "What's up? Ron, can I talk to you?"
Ron shook his head, "I was just going up to the Hospital Wing. I'm not feeling well. Hermione noticed it."
"Well maybe we should start to call her Nurse Granger then. Apparently, she's been noticing a lot of sick looking people." Harry said sarcastically. Hermione's face flushed. "Well, if Nurse Grange says that you should go, go." She turned scarlet as Harry bowed himself backwards out of their presence.
They hurried up the stairs to the Hospital Wing. When they reached the door Ron turned to Hermione, "I have a theory. Maybe because he thinks that Ginny's dead, he thinks that he doesn't have to be nice to us anymore."
They reached Ginny's bed, they found her and Draco sitting up, curled together, and talking quietly to each other. Draco looked up and made to get off the bed, but Ron held up his hand, "Malfoy, I mean Draco, I know that you love my sister, and I have no intention to break you up anymore." Draco smiled climbed back into the bed and pulled Ginny close to his body.
"So," Ginny said impatiently, "What was his reaction? What did he do? What did he say?" Ron and Hermione looked at each other and Hermione nodded to Ron to tell what happened. It only took about five minutes to explain, but the effect of the story would last a lifetime.
Ginny returned to classes the next day. She tried to avoid Harry, but two days later, she and Draco were walking along the grounds. When they went to sit down with their feet in the lake, they heard someone shout behind them, "Ginny?" She whipped around and fainted at the site of Harry into Draco's awaiting arms.
Harry ran to her, pretending to be worried about her, but Draco had pulled out his wand and pointed it at him. "If you touch her I swear..." He trailed off and smirked.
"What are you so happy about, ferret?" Harry asked.
"Nothing, do you know CPR Potty? I was never told how. Please revive her for me." Harry, however, was suspicious. "No. Hermione told me that she was dead. I like it that was." "You're sick, Potter!" Everyone within earshot turned to watch.
"At least I don't go around stealing other people's supposedly dead girlfriends." Harry said quietly. "Go to Hell, Potter!"
Draco opened his mouth to cast a spell, but Harry had whipped out his wand and shouted, "Patrificus Totalus!" before Draco got even one word out. Draco fell over, unbalanced. Harry ran over to Ginny, and then disappeared within one foot of her.
Everyone gasped, but no one went over to where Ginny and Draco lay. Hermione, who just happened to be looking out the window, came rushing out of the Great Hall.
"Ginny!" she screamed as she came to the side of her best friend, "Ginny, wake up!" Ginny fluttered her eyes, took one look at Draco, and let out a gasp. "Draco! What has he done to you?" "Full Body Bind." Hermione answered weakly.
Ginny fainted again at Hermione's words. Hermione spotted Padma Patil, "Padma, go get Madam Pomfry, quick!" Padma ran out of site into the castle.
Madam Pomfry came down three minutes later with Padma at her side. "Oh my Lord!" she exclaimed when she saw Ginny and Draco laying on the grass with Hermione cradling them in her arms. Hermione levitated Ginny and Madam Pomfry levitated Draco to the Hospital Wing.
Meanwhile, in Dumbledore's office, Harry was as confused as ever. "Why do I keep coming here?" he wondered aloud. "Because you keep going near Virginia Weasly."
Came a soft voice from behind him. Harry turned to see Dumbledore stroking Fawkes. "As long as you keep purposely going near Ginny, you will keep coming to my office. I figured that you would have figured that out by now, Harry. Seeing as how smart you are. But the charm I put on her is kind of a wizard restraining order."
Harry just stared at him. "Is this some kind of a sick joke?" Harry demanded. Dumbledore shook his head solemnly.
