After Harry kissed Ginny back, they left to go down to breakfast. As they were leaving the common room, Ginny heard a sneeze.

"God bless you Harry," said Ginny.

"For what?" said Harry, looking at her strangely, "I didn't sneeze."

"Really?" said Ginny looking around the common room, "I could've sworn I heard someone sneeze."

Confused, Ginny and Harry stepped out of the portrait hall and went downstairs to breakfast.

Later that day, Luna and Ginny were passing notes in History of Magic. History of Magic was always the most boring class of the day, so a ton kids slept through the class or passed noted the whole time.

Ginny passed Luna a note:

Who are you going to the dance with?

Luna scribbled something down and passed it back to Ginny:

I'm going with Neville. What about you?

Ginny wrote back:

Harry Potter.

When Luna read what Ginny had just written, she stared at it like headlights. Then she wrote back:

Harry Potter! WOW!

Ginny smiled and replied:

What are you going to the dance as? You know it's a costume party right?

Luna wrote:

A house elf. What about you?

Ginny wrote:

A princess, but I like your idea of a house elf. That's cool.

The bell rang for lunch and the classroom cleared to the great hall.

Ginny found Harry, Hermione and Ron already sitting at the Gryffindor table. She went towards them and sat down next to Harry.

"Hi Ginny," said Hermione, "We were just talking about the dance. Are you going with anyone?"

Before Ginny could even open her mouth to say something, Ron jumped in.

"She's going with Harry." He said in a strange tone.

"No way!" said Hermione shockingly. "You two! Together! I would've never guessed!"

Hermione kept babbling on about the dance while Ginny wandered off into her mind.

How did Ron know I was going to the dance with Harry? Well maybe Harry told him. Yeah that must be it because their best friends. They tell each other everything. But Ron has been acting so weird lately. What is with him?

Hermione was talking about her costume for the dance, while Ron was practicing charming things to fly.

"I'm going as a mermaid," said Hermione excitedly, "The costume is awesome. It has real shells, real scales and real… Ron! Ginny!"

The knife Ron charmed to fly went out of control and went speeding directly towards Ginny.

Ginny screamed and closed her eyes.

"PROTEGO!" Harry shouted, and a shield formed in front of Ginny. The knife bounced off the shield and hit the ground.

Slowly, Ginny opened her eyes. She saw a blue shield around her body and Harry pointing his wand at her.

Harry, she thought trembling, Harry just saved my life.

She saw the whole great hall staring at her. Dumbledore stepped up to the podium.

"Due to what has just occurred, there will be no more practicing magic in the great hall. I am taking 20 points from Gryffindor for that terrible fiasco, but because of the bravery and quick thinking of Mr. Potter, Ginny Weasley has been saved from what could have been death. 50 points to Gryffindor."

The Gryffindor table cheered.

As Professor Dumbledore stepped off the podium, things slowly changed to normal. But Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George were looking at Ron like he was insane.

"You could've killed Ginny, Ron," said George looking at him grimly.

"What the bloody hell happened?" said Fred.

"It was an accident," said Ron.

"Well you don't seem to be sorry!" shouted Hermione. "You're just sitting there!"

"You didn't even apologize to Ginny!" said Harry angrily.

The bell for lunch to end and everyone departed from the great hall to go to their classes. Ginny got up slowly still thinking about Harry and how he had saved her life.

That night, when she was asleep, Ginny dreamed she was a princess held hostage by a death eater. He was coming towards her with a knife.

"Go away!" she screamed, "Leave me alone! Please don't kill me!"

The death eater laughed. He drew nearer and just as he was about to stab her, an arrow flew through the air, right into the death eater's heart. Ginny looked up to see Harry as a knight in shining armor, an empty bow in his hand and a sack of arrows on his back. She smiled in her sleep.
