"Potter," Draco said with an indicating nod, "Weasley."

Ron moved and Harry couldn't stop him as he grabbed the collar of his shirt. "Look, Malfoy, if you do anything to Ginny and I mean anything," he growled into his face, "I'll make the rest of your life a living hell."

"Yes I'm sure our lovely Ginny would like to hear this as well," Draco sneered back before Ron grabbed his throat.

"Look, Malfoy, if you so much as hurt her I'll hurt you just as hard," he snapped before reluctantly letting go and storming off into the house. Draco clutched his throat on reflex and glared at Potter who still stood there.

"His right, Malfoy," he said, his voice icy, "I know I can't have Ginny back, but you hurt her, I'll double the pain Ron sends you," he said before Draco straightened with a smirk.

"Your upset Potter because I have something for once and you can't have it," Draco said as the feeling of Ron's hand slowly disappeared from his throat.

Harry took out his wand and aimed it at Malfoy's throat.

"Harry James Potter!" A voice said behind him making him flinch. He lowered his arm and watch Ginny walk to Draco and glare at him. "What in Merlin's name are you doing?"

Harry lowered his gaze unable to take looking at her while her arm was clasped protectively on Malfoy's arm. "You're taking his side now, eh?" Harry asked his voice still cold.

"Oh don't start this Harry," she huffed, "I haven't took anyone's side."

"Then stop protecting him," he growled.

"Harry Potter, look me in the bloody eyes this instant," Ginny snapped and Harry looked up meeting with fierce amber eyes. "If I don't protect him and he dies because of your anger then I will too!"

Swallowing Harry lowered his gaze once again. Ginny sighed and looked up at Draco, who had been silent before dragging him into the house away from, Harry. Coming in she smiled at everyone and sat at the window seat before motioning Draco to sit with her. Ginny pulled her legs up and moved them so she was comfortable but still sat as a lady.

"What really happen out there?" Ginny asked in a small voice. She looked up at Draco who met her eyes before staring off and out the window.

"Just talk and all that sort, you know Potter." Draco said as Potter himself walked into the room looking a bit pale he smiled as they called everyone over to the middle of the living room.

Ginny clucked her tongue in annoyance as she joined the group. Ron handed Harry his present first. Ginny leaned on her Fred's shoulder as she watched Harry opened the rest of the present. After the small giving form her family Ginny got up and came back with hers. It was a simple little red box.

She sat down in front of him with a small smile before handing it over to him. He met her eyes and for a moment Ginny recreated everything said before. All she wanted was for him to hold her and say he'll rid every bad thing around her like he did with Tom.

Ginny swallowed as she moved her eyes away from his and Harry opened the small box. "This," he said softly before Ginny cut him off.

"It's a present me and mum got." Ginny said quietly, "not much, but it should protect you from pretty good curses."

Harry smiled at her and Ginny met his eye and smiled back, "thanks," he whispered back, "I love it," he said it seriously Ginny looked away and got up.

"Well," her mum said standing with a bright smile hoping to cut the tension, "dinner?"

Ginny swiftly walked to the table as Harry picked up the lion pendant before placing on the chain around his neck. He felt a buzz go through his body and shivered before following the Weasley's and one Malfoy to the table.

Draco sat next to Ginny and felt anger tug him bitterly. The look Virginia and Potter had shared nearly made him want to topple over and kill Potter on the spot. He tried not to scowl but it was too hard. Breathing in he forced a smile, "it smells lovely, Mrs. Weasley."

Mrs. Weasley chuckled happily, "it should! Worked on this for quite a while, Draco, dear."

Draco just smiled at took a sip of his water. Ginny tossed him worried glances but he discarded them. Even with that fiery girl sitting next to him he couldn't help but this was the worst possible day of his life…even counting the day he lost his baby brother.
