chapter 16

Ginny awoke many days later. When she opened her eyes she saw that she was once again in the Hospital Wing. Her left arm was bandaged and it still hurt a little. Looking around, she saw no one.

"Madam Pomfrey?" she called out. Ginny heard something of glass drop and Madam Pomfrey barged out of her office looking around. Seeing Ginny wide and awake she immediately began tending to her.

"Oh Miss Weasley, how are you feeling dear? Any nausea? Pain?" She asked while checking her arm and changing the bandage.

"Fine, no and yes" Ginny answered.

"Where does it hurt?" Pomfrey asked gently.

"My left arm, my ankle and my ribs...Oh and my knuckles" Ginny said looking at them. They were a bit bloody from the punch she gave the Lega.

"THE LEGA! Where is it?...Oh My God! The Ice Prince! Has he been found? What happened?" Ginny said, at once remembering a little of what had happened.

Madam Pomfrey stopped attending to Ginny's injuries and looked up startled. "Yes that reminds me, I have to tell headmaster Dumbledore that you have awoken" With that, Madam Pomfrey left.

Well thanks for the answers to my questions Ginny thought.

After a few minutes the doors of the room opened and Dumbledore stepped in, together with Draco and Professor Snape.

"Maybe we should move your stuff to the hospital, seeming as you could almost say that you live here" Dumbledore joked, trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Thanks for the corny joke Dumbledore Ginny thought grimly.

"Can you tell me what happened?" At the moment there was no reason to beat around the bush.

"What's the last thing you remember Ginny?" Severus asked. Draco looked at his godfather and wondered when his potions master called Ginny by her first name. Ginny and Severus had an understanding now. They would act the same in public, but in private they were more then just an acquaintance. He had been calling her Ginny since they met in the prison room.

Ginny thought about it. "Well, let me think...I remember the Lega attacking me...I went outside...got cut by it...Uhm..." Ginny couldn't really recall much after that. The poison had made her memory a bit blurry. "I think...I saw a figure...ice flames...THE ICE PRINCE! I saw him and you bloody well saw him!"

Severus nodded. "That is correct, the Prince of Ice has come forward and everyone is aware of his identity"

Ginny frowned. "So...who was it?" Anxious to know the guy.

"Try to remember Miss Weasley"

Ginny started thinking really hard and suddenly a flash came back to her...

Bright flash...then Lega zooming in on me...then Ice Person coming...he...he killed the Lega and then...a face...her last words were...'Draco?'

"Draco?" Ginny repeated now out loud and turned her attention towards him. She had forgotten that he was there, being so focused on the identity of the Ice Prince.

"It's you?" Ginny asked unbelievingly.

Dumbledore and Snape left, leaving Draco and Ginny alone. He immediately took Ginny's hand into his own. "Ginny I'm sorry I yelled at you in the Great Hall! I didn't mean to yell at you and when I saw that creature attack you I just went...a little mad I guess"

Ginny hugged him. "It's okay" When she pulled back she turned serious. "You know what this means do you?"

Draco's expression turned grave too. "Yes, we're the persons meant in that Prophecy...to take Voldemort down"

"Yes, but the Prophecy says that we CAN make Voldemort cower, not that we WILL defeat him, so we have to give everything we've got"

"We will…Oh and before I forget" Draco said getting a piece of parchment out of his pocket. "This was tied to the birds leg, all we see is an empty piece of parchment, but Dumbledore said that you might see something different" he gave the parchment to Ginny.

Ginny looked at her. She knew of course from who it was.

TFB S00N!

"So?" Draco asked. "Do you see something?"

"Yes, it says: TFB SOON!"

Draco stared of in thought. "I Wonder what he means by TFB" he wondered out loud.

Ginny muttered something..

"What?" he hadn't heard what she said so Ginny spoke louder.

"The Final Battle"

Draco plopped down in one of the chairs standing by Ginny's bed. "You sure?"

"Of course I'm sure!" Ginny snapped. Draco held up his hands.

"Sheesh don't bite my head off"

"Sorry"

Ginny swung her legs over the edge of her bed and tried to stand up.

"What are you doing?" Draco said astonished. This girl just woke up after such a fight and is not even taking her time to get better.

"We have to get this to Dumbledore" She explained. Draco rushed by her side, helping her standing. He knew that Ginny was not going to change her mind. Ginny did nothing to stop Draco from helping her, because she knew with her ankle she wouldn't come far without.

They left the hospital wing and headed towards the office of Dumbledore. When Ginny leaned a bit too much on her ankle, she whimpered a little bit and tried to muffle it so Draco would not hear. Draco however, did hear.

"Let's make this easier" he said picking her up. Ginny was temporarily dazed.

Okay hadn't expected that!

But she didn't protest, she felt safe just where she was at the moment.

After they'd informed Dumbledore, who was quite shocked about the information, Draco brought Ginny back to the Hospital Wing. When Ginny was back in her room, Madam Pomfrey noticed and shooed Draco out of the Wing, saying Ginny needed rest.

Madam Pomfrey gave Ginny a Sleeping Potion with the instructions to drink it all. As soon as her back was turned for a second, Ginny poured the entire potion into the nearest plant. When Pomfrey faced her again she held the now empty vile up high. Pomfrey left, now content with the thought Ginny would be resting.

But Ginny had other plans. There was no time for sleeping now. She had to devise a plan to take out Voldemort for good. The problem was that the Wizard always hid behind his Death Eaters. Ginny had to think of something, to take him up, without having to worry about his servants.

If it were possible, you would see a light-bulb right above Ginny's head now as a brilliant idea struck her. She climbed out of bed. This time, Draco wasn't around to carry her, so it was up to herself. She quietly sneaked out of the Hospital Wing, passing Pomfrey's office without incident. Walking trough the corridors, staying into the shadows; her ears listening for any sounds of footsteps. When she reached her destination, she withdrew her wand.

"Alohomora" She whispered, successfully unlocking the door. Walking into the library, she headed straight for the Restricted Section.

The teachers had invented quite a good security system around the Section. There was only one way for a student to enter it without getting seriously hexed. One of the teachers has to give you a parchment, on it there must be an authentic signature (which cannot be forged) of a teacher. When you have the parchment with you...no damage when entering. Without it...well let's just say no one has tried it ever since the incident in 1999, when a young ignorant wizard tried to enter it with a forged signature. The poor wizard got blistering blisters and zits for the rest of his remaining Hogwarts years.

Thankfully, Ginny had grown up with the two most mischievous wizards ever to have graced the wizarding world, her twin brothers Fred and George of course. When they had heard about the incident, they had taken upon themselves as a challenge to find a way into the Restricted Section. It seems teachers have their own special way of entering the section without having to write a piece of parchment to themselves. Right on the left of the entrance of the Restricted Section there is a portrait of a purple Dragon sleeping on some sort of a beach. If you pull his tail a charm will be cast upon you which makes you able to enter the restricted section without the hexing part.

When Ginny pulled the tail of the little Dragon it lazily opened one eye and closed it almost immediately small shock of electricity let Ginny know that it was now safe entering the Section.

Walking across the numerous books, Ginny's eyes only looked for a particular book. Finally founding it, Ginny pulled out: Magical guide trough minds

Looking in the contents of the book, Ginny found what she needed after a few minutes. She looked triumphantly at her findings:

Using magical connections to take someone down through the mind
