Here is Chapter XX. Hope you all like it. The last chapter of my story!

Draco crept up behind Ron. Being a Slytherin he had taken time to analyze the situation before barreling in headfirst.

Ron took no notice of his previous victim's actions as he assumed him to be incapacitated.

Draco noiselessly lunged forward tackling Ron.

Ron screamed furiously as all three of the wands he'd acquired rolled away. "NO!"

Draco punched Ron right in the face. He punched him again in the stomach.

"Do-not-ever-try-to-hurt-her-again! If-you-do-I'll- kill-you!" Draco said and with every word he punched Ron again.

A soft whimper disturbed Draco from his punching bag.

"Ginny!" Draco cried leaping up and running to her stopping just long enough to collect two wands.

Ron rolled over and coughed out a few teeth and some blood. He lifted himself to his hands and knees. He hacked up some more blood and spit out a few more teeth. He lifted a hand and swiped it across his mouth.

Draco knelt next to Ginny and set their wands aside and pushed her hair back from her cheeks. Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Ginny," he said bringing his knees to his chest and resting his head on them and turning away so he didn't have to look at her hurt body. She was hurt because of him and he had certainly been mean to her. His chest hurt terribly.

"Accio Wand!" came the shout of Ron.

Draco whipped around just in time to see Ginny's wand fly through the air into Ron's waiting hand. Draco lunged for his own wand grabbing it before Ron got the second summoning spell uttered.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" Draco reared aiming his wand at Ron.

A jet of bright scarlet light burst from the end of his wand. It his Ron right in the chest and both wands flew out of his hands.

"Accio Wands!" Draco said. The wands zoomed from the ground to his hands. "Stupefy!"

The spell hit him right in the chest and he fell to the ground unconscious.

Draco dropped the wands. They clattered on the path. He gently touched Ginny's cheek with the pads of his fingers. Ginny didn't stir; she didn't even appear to be breathing.

Tears began to well up in his eyes again. He turned so his back was facing her. He thrust his hands to the sides of his head so his fingers were threaded through his hair. He tugged her closer and buried his face in her neck.

"Ginny no," he sobbed. "Don't be dead."

A beautiful singing sound floated through the air reaching Draco's ears. He looked up from where he'd buried his face in Ginny's neck.

"S-Silas?" Draco stuttered as the handsome bird landed next to him continuing his song. Silas cocked his head to the side and cooed at the end of his song looking at Ginny and Draco. He blinked his large eyes at the witch and wizard before lowering his head to Ginny's injuries. Five silver pearly tears leaked out of his eyes and down the tip of his beak dripping off the end and falling like sparkling raindrops onto Ginny's wounds.

The skin began to close a little more as each tear fell onto the wound. Now all the blood was washed away and the wound closed entirely.

Draco began to smooth Ginny's hair again. He kissed the brow of Ginny as he cradled her in his arms. Ginny still remained motionless. Not breathing. Not even making a noise as slight as a moan.

"Ginny wake up," Draco said shifting so Ginny was on his lap her head resting on his shoulder. He wrapped one arm across her waist and with the other draped about her shoulders.

Ginny's head fell from Draco's shoulder lolling backwards. Draco could no longer hold his tears back. His life was over. He couldn't live without Ginny.

The end.

A nice lesson about not taking others for granted...how did you like it?

Depressing and ironicwasn't it?

Well there it is the final chapter. I hope you enjoyed my story. I hope you all take the time to check my author bio.
