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!!!

In the hospital wing, Ginny and Draco lay side by side, this time in Draco's bed. He slept while Ginny stared at his peaceful face.

"I don't know what I would do without him." She thought aloud. "I don't know what I would do without you." Draco had awaked, but had not opened his eyes. Ginny hugged him tightly, and then kissed his soft lips.

Ginny giggled. "What?" Draco asked smiling. She shook her head; she had gotten lip-gloss on him.

Hermione came after her study lesson. She took one look at Draco and started laughing and Ginny joined her. "What?" Draco demanded. "Your...lips. You...have...lip-gloss...on...them." Hermione responded in between laughs.

He took the mirror from the bedside table, looked at himself, and started to scrub vigorously at his lips with a tissue.

"So, what's up, Hermione?" Ginny asked after watching Draco scrub all the lip-gloss off. "It's Harry." Draco and Ginny both looked up. "He's furious at me, Ron, Dumbledore, both of you, and a bunch of other people. I'd stay away from him, Draco. You're O.K. Ginny, because you have the charm, but none of the rest of us do. Just be careful. I'm begging you, Draco, don't go picking a fight with him. Just ignore him."

"I'll try, but it won't be easy." "I'll stay with him. I can help him. He can't com near me or jinx me, so I'll be like a shield for Draco." Hermione nodded, hugged them both, and left.

True to what she had said, Ginny stayed near Draco to protect him, but Harry had been researching on more than just his homework. He had been researching on the charm Dumbledore put on Ginny and found how to counter it.

One day when Ginny was walking with Draco to Transfiguration, when they heard someone behind them mumble, a flash of gold light, and Ginny fell to the ground at Draco's feet. Draco whipped around and found Harry walking toward them smirking.

"What did you do to her, Potter!" Draco raged. "I lifted the stupid charm off of Ginny." Harry said calmly reaching them. Professor McGonagall ran into the hallway,

"My Lord! Both of you are to be escorted to Professor Dumbledore, now!" she levitated Ginny all the way to the giant eagle. When they reached Dumbledore's office, McGonagall asked Draco to conjure a couch for Ginny. The couch was beautiful. It was dark blue satin and goose down, better than anything Harry could have conjured.

McGonagall slowly and gently lay down on the satin couch, while Draco and Harry sat down on the wooden chair facing Dumbledore's desk. Draco turned in his chair to watch Ginny's fragile, unconscious body rise and fall with each shallow breath.

McGonagall stayed until he had told Dumbledore what her had heard and saw. As he left, Dumbledore bent over the unconscious Ginny and revived her. Draco breathed a sigh of relief.

"So," Dumbledore began, "Who wants to tell me what happened? Or do I have to get Professor Snape again? Miss Weasly, I ask you, please lie down and rest for now." Both boys drew breath, but Draco started first, "Please, Professor, Potter has somehow lifted the curse off of Ginny." He explained.

Dumbledore looked questionably at Harry, "Is this true, Harry?" Harry nodded. Dumbledore looked more disappointed than any of them had ever seen.

"Mr. Malfoy, please escort Miss Virginia to her bed. Ginny I ask that you go right to sleep. Ask Hermione Granger to watch over her. Mr. Potter and I have things to discuss."

Draco led Ginny out of the office quickly. Everyone knew that Harry was in trouble, Dumbledore never called Harry 'Mr. Potter'.

Draco and Ginny reached the Fat Lady who looked at them curiously, "Why do you keep coming in here? You're a Slytherin!" She asked outraged. "Caput Draconus" Ginny said impatiently, and the Fat Lady swung open, scowling.

When they found Hermione and convinced her to levitate Draco up the stairs so that he could say goodnight, Draco took a silver sachet out of his robe pocket, "If at any time you need to see me, throw this into the fire and shout, 'Draco Malfoy's Room' and you will be transported to my bed chamber. I love you Virginia Weasly." "I love you, too, Draco Malfoy."

They kissed, said goodnight one last time, and Draco left. He slid down the ramp where the stairs used to be.

"You!" someone shouted from near the window. It was George Weasly. He and his twin Fred had come to visit Ron.

"What were you doing in the girls dormitories? And how did you get in here in the first place? And how did you get up those stairs?"

"George!" Ron hissed, "He was saying good-night to Ginny."

"What!" Fred raged, finally speaking up. "They're going out. Draco's changed. He's not like his father anymore. He's even nice to me and Hermione." Ron explained.

"Bloody Merlin," Fred and George said together, "Sorry, mate" Fred said apologetically, "Yeah, sorry, mate." George echoed,

"We never thought,"

"That you would,"

"Ever be nice,"

"To a Gryffindor." George finished. "Well, I better be going before Harry gets back." Draco said walking to the portrait hole, a little freaked out by the twins. "Huh?" the twins were confused.

Ron sighed and started to tell them everything that had been happening that year.
