"Draco, are you not cold?" Harry asked, pulling his cloak closer to him. His hands were freezing and he was alternating which one he would keep under his cloak.

Draco rolled his eyes at Harry and pulled out his wand, steadying his broom with his free hand. He pointed his wand at Harry and around his broom and mumbled a spell. He did the same to himself before putting his wand back into his pocket.

"What was that?" Harry asked, looking at the wind, which was now going around them as if they were in a bubble.

"A spell that blocks the wind and rain. And basically any other weather problems." Draco explained.

"Okay, thanks. Are we going to stop anytime soon?" Harry asked, the sun coming up over the hill behind them. He was tired and hadn't eaten in hours.

"Well I don't care when we do. I'm a bit tired myself, Potter. Let's stop in a clearing up here." Draco suggested, descending from the clouds and landing perfectly in a small wooded area. He got the picnic basket out of his pocket and enlarged, sitting down on a fallen tree.

"So, how much longer to we're there?" Harry asked, setting his broom down and looking hungrily in the basket.

"It'll be about two more hours. It took longer than I thought. We'll rest here for a while though. I'm going to take a nap after finishing off this sandwich." Draco said, biting into a ham sandwich and swallowing some butterbeer.

Harry just nodded, cookie and sandwich stuffed in his mouth. Draco just shook his head and laughed at the Gryffindor. They finished off the drinks and food in no time and Draco nodded off, leaving Harry to explore the surrounding area.


Ginny woke up to Atriel barking. She looked at the clock on in the bathroom. 4:45? I need to get ready. When is that girl coming to get me? Gah, Ginny, why did you have to fall asleep Ginny got out of the tub and grabbed a towel. She dried off and used a spell to quickly dry her hair. She changed into a tank top and some short in the dresser and went to the bathroom to put on her make up. Atriel was rolling on the bed when Ginny re-appeared, make up and hair all fixed. She went to the corner, near the bookcase and pulled the bell-chord. A house elf appeared immediately.

"What can Dreip do for you, Misses?" the elf asked, looking up at Ginny.

"Can you please bring me some tea and crackers? Or better yet, some cookies please. Thank you." Ginny said, looking down.

"Right away, Misses," he said, before disappearing. The little elf re-appeared with a tray and set it down on the table in front of the couch. Ginny went to get the book out of the bathroom and settled down on the couch, reading and eating her cookies. Atriel fell asleep beside her and Ginny got to chapter six before having to get up and change into her green dress. She fixed her make up and hair again and went back and sat on the couch, waiting for Madeliene. It was exactly five forty-five when she heard a knock at the door. She got up, checked herself on last time and answered the door.

"I take it you're ready?" Madeliene asked, not looking at the girl.

"No, I'm not. It'll be another hour or so. I took a nap." Ginny said sarcastically.

"WHAT?" Madeliene screamed, turning wide eyed towards Ginny.

"Gah, I was kidding. Next time, don't act so high and mighty." Ginny said, rolling her eyes.

"What was that?" the lady asked, looking at Ginny.

"Nothing. Take me to the dining hall please, since I was told to be there on time. I mustn't be late." Ginny said, sounding like Madeline, walking down the hall.

"This way, madam." Madeliene said, walking in front of Ginny. They walked down hall after hall, corridor after corridor and Ginny swore she had past that window three times before.

"Are we almost there? I'm in heels," she said, bending down to take off her shoes. She caught up to Madeliene and walked behind her for a couple of thousands of minutes. Or at least that's what Ginny thought.

"Mam, put your shoes back on. His Lordship is in the dinning hall, through those doors. Hurry. Best not be late." Madeliene sneered, wanting to make the red-head late.

"Thanks. You've been a doll." Ginny said, giving her a fake smile. Ginny looked at the mirror in the corridor and made sure she looked alright. She opened the doors and walked inside.

"Oh my!" Ginny gasped!


"Hermione, what do you think about Ember knowing?" Ron asked, stuffing a sandwich in his mouth.

"I think that she somehow knows him or like has contact with him. It's just that she knows all that information and I don't think the books she had knew all that." Hermione said, looking confused.

Ron took another bite and swallowed. "I wonder why Draco went. I mean, I thought he hated Ginny."

"Ronald, don't you remember? They were going to the dance together. I guess he liked her then. But it must not have lasted long. Cory, youlucky dog, have Ginny's affections now." Hermione said, turning towards Cory.

"Yeah." Cory said, with no affection or anything. His face was pale and the worried expression on his face hadn't changed. He looked ill.

"Cory, are you alright. You're deathly pale. I think you should go see Madam Pomfery. Come on, I'll take you now." Hermione said, getting up and walking over to him.

"I'm fine, okay. Just leave me alone for a while. I'll be just fine." Cory said, getting up and leaving the room.

"Ron, did you not see him? He looks sick as anything. I'm worried." Hermione said, looking at Ron.

"He's depressed. I would be too if you were taken, love." Ron said, looking Hermione in the face.

"Aw, Ron. Really?" Hermione said, looking back down at the book in her lap.

"Really, love. I have something to tell you." Ron said, putting his hand under her chin as to make her look him in the face.

"What is it, Ron?" Hermione asked, searching in his eyes, fearing the silence between them.

"After they find Ginny and after school, I want you to be my wife. To be mine forever. Hermione Granger, will you marry me?" Ron asked, kneeling down beside the couch and pulling a ring out of his pocket. He slipped the ring on her finger and looked up, eyes glistening with tears.

"Oh, Ron! Of course, my love." Hermione said, crying. She threw her arms around him and kissed him. He picked her up and swung her around before setting her down.

After hours of just laying there on the couch, Ron got up to go to his dorm. "Hermione Granger, I love you dearly."

"I love you too, Ron. Goodnight love," she said, still drowsy from her nap. She heard the door close quietly and rolled over, thinking about the ring on her finger.
