Chapter 15

The whole date with Draco was great! No other way to describe it. The following day, no one could sweep the dreamy smile of Ginny's face. She entered the Great Hall and everyone looked at her. Ginny thought it was a bit strange. Draco came up.

"Did Potter tell you that he liked you?" he asked directly.

"Well, hello to you too"

"Tell me"

"Well, yes he did, but I turned him down, don't worry"

Ginny let her gaze fall over the Great Hall and noticed that the Dream Team wasn't there.

"Everybody knows?" Ginny asked incredulously.

"YES, why didn't you tell me?"

"Well I didn't think it was such a big deal since I turned him down!"

"It IS a big deal if potter likes MY girlfriend"

Many gasps came from the crowd.

"Did ya HAVE to tell them all like this?"

"Well it is true isn't it?"

Ginny seethed. "That may be so, but I would have liked to tell everyone in a bit more of a discreet way"

"Just like you NOT told me that Potter asked you out?"

Ginny was furious now! He had been so sweet yesterday and now he was interrogating her in front of the entire school over something so stupid!

"We weren't even dating yet and I turned him DOWN! Why don't you get that?"

Ginny stomped away angrily.

Where does he get the idea of doing that! I mean...I TURNED HIM DOWN...not such a big deal okay

Ginny went to the Library...some nice little time-out; hide-out will be good. When she was there, the place was deserted. Perfect.

Ginny went to the back of the Library out of eye-shot, but only then saw that it was already occupied. Harry.

She was about to leave when he saw her.

"Ginny!"

"Harry" she acknowledged.

He looked sad. "I'm sorry about the whole school knowing"

"It's okay; I just don't know who could've told everyone, as far as I know there was nobody else but us"

"Colin Creevey" Harry answered her question.

Oh it was Colin was it? I'll make sure he get's what's comin to him

"Oh...well, I've got to go now...bye"

Ginny walked out of the library and set again for the Great Hall. She was hungry and Draco was not going to stop her from eating. When she entered, the Great Hall once again fell silent. Ginny acted as if nothing peculiar was happening. She knew Draco was watching her, but she headed straight for the Gryffindor table, sat down and began to eat. After a while everybody began talking again, whispering and shooting glances in her direction.

Ginny hated it when people talked about her behind her back. She'd had enough of that after her first year with the Tom-Riddle incident. But nevertheless she ignored it. Suddenly she heard something she didn't think she'd hear in a long time.

A shrill cry, not human, but animal rang through the Great Hall She had heard it often enough when she was in Voldemort's Maze. She looked up and saw something that looked like a black raven with red eyes. It changed as soon as its little eyes spotted her. It spread his wings and each of them grew to a meter long each. The body also grew. The feathers were still black, but the ends of the feathers were silver.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and shot a spell towards it. The spell hit, but it didn't appear to do anything to the creature. They didn't know what it was, but Ginny did. Nobody recognize it as the ministry of Magic declared the creature extinct over a thousand years ago.

The bird-like thing is called a Legua Mega. In short it's called a Lega. An animal from the Dark. If it cuts you with it's fangs a poison will run trough you, making you weaker and eventually you'll fall unconscious to the point of near death.

Ginny sprang up just as the creature zoomed towards her. With one leg she used the table to take off and made a somersault backwards. The Lega missed her.

It came again and Ginny raised a shield around herself.

"Shilda!" A blue orb surrounded her. It was a strong shield, but this spell could not be used often as it took a lot of energy out of a person. The Lega rammed against it, but could not come trough.

She began running towards outside so no one else could accidentally get hurt. Ginny never shot a magical spell at it, because she knew the Lega would absorb it and become even stronger.

When she was outside the Lega flew up high

To make more speed so it would be harder to defend myself against it

Lega's are only defeated when using physical force. That's why it is so hard to beat them. They fly high and only come near you to attack so you have little time to do anything besides defending, let alone attack.

The Lega came again, but this time Ginny was ready. As it came by, she punched it. The Lega wavered a bit, but then flew up high again. Everybody in the Great Hall was trying to come outside to see what's going on, but the teachers were doing their best to stop them. A few still got trough.

"NO!" Ginny yelled at them. "GO BACK, THIS IS NO GAME!"

But the time it took her to yell at them, was all the time the Lega needed to zoom in and cut her left arm.

"Ouch!" Ginny said grabbing her arm. Already she could feel the poising running trough her veins, tainting her blood. She fell back on the grass. A few minutes it took for a normal wizard or witch to be affected by the poison and Ginny didn't think it would be much longer for her.

Will the Lega abduct her when she became unconscious? The bird was certainly big enough to carry her...back to Voldemort...

In the meantime she became weaker and weaker with each second passing by...

Not much longer now... Ginny thought.

Just as the bird began flying toward her again a big FLASH was seen. Ginny closed her eyes, so as not to be blinded by it.

When she opened them she saw a figure walking (Or you could say gliding) over the grass. The person was surrounded in what looked like Icy flames flickering all around him. It was really hard to tell what he looked like, because of the ice flames.

He raised his hand and a beam shot out of it. Just before the Lega was about to hit Ginny the beam hit the Lega and it fell down. The person was running now to Ginny and the flames died away. Just before everything became black she saw a face just for a second...

"Draco?"...
