A/N: Ha I like the name of this chapter. And no Harry and Ron are not in a relationship I thought it would be a little funny for Draco to assume so for a while. I was originally going to name this chapter something like "Flesh-Eating Plants" but then I didn't like calling the plants that name. I don't know. Oh well.

Oh and I answered Padfootmoony's question back in chapter 8.

More D/G goodness :D

Seventeen: Queer Men Ruin Everything

Ginny didn't know what was going on, but she was being twirled around high above the ground. Whatever it was that was doing this to her was twirling her with immense velocity and she couldn't see anything. She let out a desperate scream calling for help. Hermione was gone…what if she was dead already? Her heart felt as if it was going so fast it would fail. What if she was going to die too?

Hermione was just telling Ginny her theory about the Dark Magic she was using when suddenly a vine grabbed her ankle and dragged her across the sand into the forest. She tried to dig her fingers into the ground to stop the vine, but it failed and then she noticed her own voice screaming. Her wand had been tucked loosely on her clothes, and now it was feet away from her. The plant that had grabbed her would not give her a chance to grab it and she felt doomed. She was lifted into the air and there she saw Ginny being twirled around violently. Screams of help and desperation were emitted from both of them. Hermione didn't know what it was that grabbed her but hoped that either Harry or Ron could help them back to the ground.

Harry and Ron were walking ahead of the girls and when they heard a familiar scream they turned around swiftly with their wands ready. Malfoy was nowhere to be seen, and the girls weren't visible but they were loud enough. They ran to where they heard the noise and saw very large moving plants. One of the vines was coming towards Ron but he had used an Incendio to drive it away. The spell had worked and no other vines came towards the boys until they approached even closer.

Harry had pointed to the canopy of the plant. Hermione was being dangled right above it. However, as soon as he used that spell more vines that were larger came through the forest to attack him.

"Flagrate" Harry used. Immediately from his wand came a fiery line. He kept the spell on for as long as he could to create a temporary wall of flame for protection. His wand drew the 'wall' and he hoped that he could still use spells that would go through it. Ron had seen what Harry had done and copied him. Hermione did teach them many useful spells when they least expected it. It was a good thing for now.

Hermione could see that the boys were trying their best to fight off the attacking vines. She hoped that they would think of paralyzing the plants. Flames would work on the plant but in the end it would only make the plant more aggressive. She was about to shout out this tip when she decided to look down at what was holding her. The 'large budding flower' that they had passed by was actually a very large Venus Fly-Trap. Except since it was too large of a plant to eat just flies it ate larger things. Like humans. The plant had opened it's mouth wide to reveal a sharp looking set of teeth and a green looking tongue. Hermione let out another scream.

Ron looked up to see why Hermione let out an even larger scream then before.

"HARRY it's not just a plant like the Whomping Willow. It's a carnivorous plant. It's trying to eat Mione!" He pointed his wand to the head of the plant and threw an Incendio at it.

The spell missed the plant but the head did close it's mouth. It turned around to look at Ron, which seemed impossible, as it didn't have any eyes. Hermione was relieved that it didn't devour her, instead it turned it's attention towards Ron. Her heart dropped, now it was going to attack Ron.

The offending plant threw another one of it's vines at Ron, but this time it circled around his wall of flame and grabbed him around the waist. Hermione looked at Ron upside down and for some strange reason she gave him a weak smile. Ron returned it, but amazingly he still had his wand. If he used the incendio spell again he would end up with burn marks. The only way to do get out of the plant's grasp was by enflaming the vines that had wrapped him around. The plant again opened it's mouth to devour Hermione when Ron quickly stated the spell.

A large scream of pain was emitted by the plant and Ron was dropped to the ground. While falling he heard what sounded like paralyze from HermioneAlthough this hurt immensely he got up as quickly as he could. He ran towards Harry and hid behind his wall. Ron didn't know whether Hermione meant that he might be paralyzed or something else.

"Paralyze it!" Ron said quickly to Harry.

"How could we stun it with just the two of us?" Even though Harry was a powerful wizard they couldn't possibly just stun the plant with the two of them. At that exact moment Malfoy had come running towards them with many scrapes and cuts around his body. He had a look of hatred on when coming towards Harry. But the man did have a wall of fire surrounding him so it was the best solution.

"Malfoy how good are you with the stunning spell?"

"Why do you ask?" He said watching Hermione dangling from the plant that had for the third time opened it's mouth.

"You bastard! Mione's about to be eaten alive and all you can say is why. Leave us alone or I'll curse you instead," Harry said very angrily.

Malfoy walked back towards the plants and both Ron and Harry shot their stunning spells at the plant. When another vine from the same plant starting coming towards him Malfoy shot the same spell straight up where the peduncle meets the bud. The vine that was about to attack him had slumped onto the ground. It wasn't completely immobile but it had slowed down it's movements and was paralyzed in some areas.

When Malfoy had heard Hermione emit her first scream he watched as Ginny was taken by her ankle towards the top. Unlike the plant that had grabbed Hermione, Ginny's predator had decided to twirl his victim around before devouring it. As he watched both Harry and Ron come to the rescue, he had started to step away from the plants. However, one of the vines from Ginny's plant had wrapped itself around his arm. Happy that it wasn't his wand arm he struggled to pick up Ginny's. Hers had fallen while she was being thrashed violently around. Malfoy wasn't able to find his wand when they left, he was suspicious that Ginny had taken it after learning he was a Death Eater. That was why, he believed, he was watching her hoping that she would give some sort of sign that she did have his very expensive wand.

With an Incendio spell he was able to loosen away from the vine. It was then he learned that there weren't only just two plants, but four of them standing right next to each other. Vines from almost every direction came to attack him. He shot as many hexes as he could to them. Malfoy realized that he was in the center of all the plants and nobody would be able to see him. As he took his time to fight off his plant he fought his way to the shore. Harry had used a spell to create a wall of fire. Damn Potter always knowing the best spells. He ran to his safety, even though he hated the man who conjured it, he hoped that they would allow him to stay. However, it was then he made his first mistake. He saw both Ginny and Hermione being raised up to be eaten. Ginny was harder to see then the Mud-blood. The plant that had taken her was up front while the plant that had taken the Weasley girl was behind it to the left. Harry asked angrily if Malfoy knew a stunning spell. Of course he would know a stunning spell. If alone with a dragon he could probably stun that (well maybe not but he was still proud of his mastery of the spell). His skills were awesome. Since Potter was too arrogant to realize who was the better stunner he replied smartly, which angered Potter. Malfoy decided to leave, and that is where he was currently.

How could the queer men forget Ginny. The girl was one of the men's sisters, but instead they go for their friend. Since he was stupid enough to go towards the plant that was holding Ginny he decided to save her. Actually, he wasn't saving her he was saving himself. That plant was more aggressive than the other one that was holding the mud-blood. Of course the better plant would go for the better blood. The mud-blood's predator didn't even stand a chance with his stunning spell. He saw the end of the largest vine coming from the plant. And this was when he decided to save himself. At the point of the vine was a large, very unfriendly-looking, yellow thorn. Since everything else on this island was poisonous he gave himself a little time to ponder what kind of venom that thorn was carrying.

As it came to him he used a very powerful diffindo spell. It sliced the vine and the plant started squealing in pain. It started to thrash Ginny around again, who was still screaming. How could those idiots forget her? She screamed as loud as a banshee! He yelled an incendio charm at the base of the plant and then right above, where it was becoming weaker, he used another powerful diffindo spell. Then the sound of something imminently crashing came to him and he backed away. The girl was still being held by the plant!

"Wingardium Leviosa!" he yelled. However, the spell didn't work. He forgot how certain spells didn't work on this island. Draco was surprised that all the spells had worked fine so far, when he was using someone else's wand. It probably was a pureblood thing. He ran as Ginny fell from the plants grasp heading straight down for the ground. With his old seeker reflexes he caught her, which hurt his injured arm very much, and without even thinking he started running. Although, the plant was clearly not a threat to him anymore he just started running. For a few seconds he looked back and saw both Potter and Weasel trying the diffindo spell, but the spell wouldn't work for him. Apparantly, the Incendio spell worked only for Ron's wand. And the slashing spell wouldn't work for either of them. When he turned his head back around he smirked, of course he would be the one on the island with the best magical abilities.

For a moment he almost forgot he was holding a girl in his hand. He also noticed he was running away for nothing. He stopped running and lowered the girl down so she could lean against the tree.

The first thing Ginny did was throw her arms around Draco. Then she started to sob. Her heart was beating at an abnormal high rate, and she was feeling very dizzy. However, Malfoy had done something she hadn't expected him to do and the only thing in her mind now was that she needed support from someone. She hugged him very tightly.

So this was what it felt like to be a hero. Draco thought, almost suffocating by the strength of Ginny. No wonder Potter did such irrational and stupid things. The feeling of exhilaration, not knowing what was going to happen next, just using any spell that came to your mind, and then this. He felt uncomfortable being hugged by a Weasley, but he also felt something that he never felt before. For the first time in his life he had saved someone. It was a very incredible feeling, and instead of being repulsed by Ginny's touch, he just stayed their immobile. He allowed her to cry in his chest and in fact after a few minutes he put his arms around her to hold her closer. The poor girl was frightened to death.

Ten minutes later he finally spoke, "You know I only have to do this one more time and we're even."

He hadn't meant it as a joke but Ginny started to snicker in his chest. She loosened her grip a little and looked up at him and smiled. She was still shivering but she was happy. He had almost smiled back when the two queer men came to ruin everything. Damn Bastards. He felt as if he never hated them more. Ginny let go of the embrace and faced Ron and Harry. She wiped away her tears and looked at them concerned.

"Ginny are you ok?" without even waiting for a reply Ron said, "Hermione…We think there is something wrong with her!"
