Dont We All
Chapter Three:
Ginny walked slowly through the corridors. She had returned from her time with Dean to the dorm that she shared with the girls in sixth year. She had switched dorms this year because her time last year was spent arguing with her fellow fifth years over Harry and his sanity. She was much happier with her new dorms and enjoyed the company of the sixth years. So when she walked into her new dorm she saw Lavander and Parvati sleeping in their beds, Parvati snoring slightly ("A secret that must never leave this room girls!!!" Parvati had exclaimed) but was shocked to see Hermione's bed was empty. Ginny paused for a moment, looking carefuly around the room to make sure Hermione, or an intruder, was not present. She then ran up to Dean's dorm.
Dean was, as he should be, asleep in his bed, Harry however, was awake. When the door opened he hopped out of bed, ready to attack whatever trespasser had come to his dorms in the middle of the night. Because of the fact that Harry had been trying to sleep, and did not enjoy pyjamas, as most boys dont, he stood shocked in front of Ginny clad only in his boxers. Ginny, noticing what Harry was wearing ( or shall we say seeing what he WASNT wearing) turned around quickly covering her eyes and blushing a deep crimson.
"Bloody Hell Ginny!!" Harry exclaimed. This caused Neville to snore loudly and Ron to yell something that sounded a lot like "BRAINS!".
" Im so--so-sorry...I...er...Umm....Well, you see Hermione...well she isn't in our dorm room and that is unusual... I just need the map...you know, your map, to umm, see where she is....er...if you just covered up a tad.." Ginny cursed herself for being short on words. Why did she have to be so nervous! She shouldn't be! She had known Harry for years, he was one of her closest friends.
" Right then, yes, er, well, stay turned around then and I will just pull on some trousers." Harry said blushing.
Ginny held her breath and resisted the urge to turn around. You dirty girl, her inner voicer whispered.
She did not turn around again until she felt a soft hand land on her shoulder. The hand sent shivers down her spine. Slowly, she turned to see harry, fully clothed carrying his map and invisibility cloak.
"Ready to go?" he asked. He smiled slightly and Ginny's stomach dropped. Slowly, she swallowed and nodded.

Blaise stood in front of Hermione, the dark mark oozing in front of her. She could not tear her eyes off of it.
"Blaise, how do I know that I can trust you?" she whispered.
His eyes were glazed over as he too had been staring at the mark on his arm. He winced and then looked up into the Griffindor's eyes. Hermione didnt know why, but one look in his eyes told her that she could trust him. She wanted to trust him.
" Hermione, I know I cant do anything to make you trust me, but please, PLEASE, believe me. I don't want to be a deatheater, my family wants me to. I need you to help me and my friend."
Hermione's eyes grew wide, "YOUR FRIEND?" Could it be possible that there were other students in Hogwarts who were in the same situation? The idea seemed crazy to Hermione.
"I'm not the only one." He said, reading the expression on her face. " I am simply the one that decided to come and tell you. We knew that it would be either you or Ginny who were most likly to listen to what we had to say. You arent exactly best friends with Draco, and we had a funny feeling you would jinx him as soon as you saw him."
" Draco? DRACO MALFOY!?!?" Hermione blanched at the idea of Malfoy not enjoying being a deatheater.
"Look Hermione, we knew that you wouldnt believe us if Malfoy came-" Blaise paused for a moment to allow Hermione to snort and mutter something that sounded alot like, "Damn strait!"
"--Anyways, so I said that I would come and really Hermione, we NEED your help!" Blaise finished and it seemed to Hermione that he was now pleading for her to understand.
And at that moment, as Hermione looked up into his deep blue eyes, she trusted him, she believed him. And she didn't know why. His eyes bore into hers, his dark blue orbs full of such emotion that it terrified and thrilled her at the same time. Quickly, she looked down at her hands that were now clasped together tightly.
"I will help you." she whispered. Not daring to look him in the eyes again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"OWW!" Ginny cried, bending over and clutching her ankle in pain.
"Sorry!" Harry whispered franticaly. He was beginning to notice more and more how hard it was becoming to fit more then one person under his cloak as the years went on.
Harry bent down to have a look at Ginny's ankle. She was croached down on the ground near his feet slowly rubbing her ankle. He slowly put his hand out and touched it. Ginny cringed in pain and look up at him frowning.
" I think I twisted it Harry," Ginny whispered. " Ooooo, it sure hurts something fierce!"
Harry chuckled a bit and then held his wand up to her ankle and muttered a small healing spell that he had learned from Mme. Pomfry earlier that year. Ginny's body immediatly relaxed and she smiled up at him sweetly. Harry felt his stomach flutter.
" Thank you Harry," she whispered. Harry nodded, unable to speak.
It was at that moment that they both realized just how close their faces were. Ginny gasped and tried to ignore the famous Weasley blush that was crawling up her cheeks. She knew that if she didnt move away from harry soon something would happen. she turned her head quickly and stood up. Harry did the same, coughing slightly. It was akward being so close to someone who wasnt her boyfriend, even stranger when she wanted to do things with this boy. But she couldnt. Why was she thinking these things! She shouldn't be having these feelings!
"Well--er.." Harry was trying to say something witty or atleast something that would take away the akwardness of the whole situation. He liked Ginny. Heck, he REALLY liked Ginny. But she was with Dean. Something between them would be wrong. Wouldn't it?
Ginny, suddenly remembering exactly why they were out in the corridors at this time of night anyways pulled the map out from her cloak.
" So," she said looking up at Harry and smiling slightly. " Lets see where Hermione has gotten herself too."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Where are we going Granger?"
Hermione ignored Malfoy and glared at Blaise while they walked quickly throught the dark moonligt corridors. Why did Malfoy have to be good? Damn it!
" Just shut up and follow me Malfoy, there is only one person who I know that can really know how help you two and tell if you are indeed telling me the truth." Hermione turned her back to him and picked up her pace a little.
After she had told Blaise that she would help him things had passed quickly. Malfoy had been waiting in an old classroom and Blaise had taken her there to meet him. She was still uneasy about the whole idea of Malfoy actually not being evil. She had decided soon after meeting Malfoy that there was only one place she could take them. And so, here she was, walking around Hogwarts at one in the morning with two Slytherins. It was amusing in a way she supposed. If someone had told her earlier that day that this was what she would be doing later she would have laughed out loud and assumed they were crazy. Hermione turned and went down a steep set of stairs. The two boys followed her.
" Hermione, you do know that you are taking us down to the dungeons right?" Blaise asked confused as to why they were heading down to possibly the dreariest place in Hogwarts.
" Yes Zabini, I am fully aware of that fact." she replied continuing down the set of stairs.
The two boys followed her silently through the dungeons, too confused to say anything. It did not make sense. They had asked for her help and she told them she would. But now they were just taking a stroll down in the dungeons for some odd reason?
Hermione stopped infront of a door and knocked on it loudly.
" Here we are boys." she said loudly before turning to them. She smiled when she saw the identicle looks of horror upon the boys faces.
"GRANGER!" Malfoy whispered in horror." YOU TOOK US TO SNAPE?!?!?! ARE YOU MAD GIRL!"
