Chapter 4: Really Sick

"What if I'm not what you think I am?" She asked.

"There is no what if, because I know you for who you are." He answered.

"How? What if I'm just a fake?" She asked.

"You're not a fake, I know because when you cry, my heart cries along with you. When you laugh, my heart bubbles happily. When you tell me you love me, my heart will give itself to you. And that is how I know." He replied, smiling.

"So Gin, are you going to unmask your secret admirer?" Amber asked Ginny as they made their way to DADA class.

"No-" Ginny started.

"Ginny! You have a secret admirer! Why didn't you tell me, love!" Parvati exclaimed.

"Yes! I thought I told everyone! Sorry that I forgot you Parvati!" Amber smiled.

"It's ok, so Ginny, as I heard Amber say, are you gonna find out who he is?" Parvati gushed.

"No Amber and Parvati, I'm not going to "unmask" my secret admirer, because as I have told Colin before, I've given up on love." Ginny explained. "Speaking of him, where is he?" Ginny asked concerned.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him at all this morning!" Parvati replied.

"Me neither, you mean you're giving up on love because you have Colin?" Amber asked in shock.

"What! Since when were you and Colin together! I thought you told me you two were just best friends!" Parvati gasped.

"Don't worry, Gin, I won't tell a single soul." Amber added. "You're secret's safe with us." Parvati squealed, winking.

That was it, Ginny Weasley had lost it, besides not knowing the whereabouts of her best friend, Ginny Weasley had two gossip spreading, big-mouthed girls to accompany her all day.

"Guys! There's nothing going on between Colin and me!" Ginny clarified. "And just leave me alone with my love life, please." Ginny added.

"Good, because I secretly think that Colin is hot!" Parvati exclaimed. "I was thinking of asking him to the Hogsmead trip this weekend!"

"Um…sure, Parvati." Ginny managed to say. These two were definitely giving her a headache. They had been stuck to her ever since that Malfoy incident. Parvati wished for attention from Malfoy, and Amber, Amber just wants someone to stick up for her; she was usually the target for bullies. It wasn't that Ginny hated the two, they were ok as roommates and classmates or even friends, but now, they want her to be best friends with them, which create a slight problem, as Ginny was about to die from the headache she was getting.

"Amber, Parvati, I don't feel so well…" Ginny mumbled, putting her hand to her head, massaging her headache out.

"You're not feeling alright, love?" Parvati asked concerned.

"We'll go to the common room with you." Amber concluded.

"Oh, but you two have classes to go to, I'll be fine, I'll just take a little nap in the common room, please tell the professors that I'm sick." Ginny said, waving them off. "Really sick this time!" Ginny muttered under her breath when Parvati and Amber were out of earshot.

Ginny roamed through the hallways, stumbling here and there. Finally, she was lost in one of Hogwarts abandoned hallways, having no clue where she was going.

"Where did the Gryffindor Common Room go?" Ginny murmured, close to passing out. "Where is the portrait of the fat lady?"

Ginny's eyelids began to feel heavy and she struggled to stay awake. She had been feeling mixtures of hot and cold all day, and now it was all kicking in. Having nothing to rely on, Ginny rested against a cold stonewall for support. Before realising what she was doing, Ginny passed out against the wall, cold sweat dripping off her forehead.

Draco Malfoy couldn't help but smirk all day, his plan was being put into action, the youngest Weasley believes that she has a secret admirer, and her little friends have been spreading it throughout the school. Soon, she would fall into his clutches and then, revenge. Knowing he didn't have any Potions-his favourite subject- today, he had decided to skip all of his classes. Deciding to go for a smoke, he headed to the abandoned classrooms; the old main hallway for students way back then. Now, no one roamed those hallways or classrooms, of course, there was no need to and they were strictly forbidden due to unknown reasons.

As he neared the forgotten Healing classroom, he pulled out his wand, ready to light his cigarette when he was inside. Yet the fact was, he never got the chance to, for as he came closer to the classroom, he saw a body lying limp against the wall in a sitting position further down the hallway. Furrowing his brow, he wondered how someone would be there. Everyone was in class right now. Instead of doing the usual and entering the room for a smoke, he placed his wand back into his robes and swiftly walked to the limp figure.

To his surprise, there laid Ginny Weasley, out cold. He tried to remember what he was supposed to do seeing an unconscious person, he knew he had learned it in the Healing class that was mandatory last year. Then it hit him, he had to check their pulse, then their body temperature. So, he reached over to her neck and felted for a pulse, luckily there was one. Then he reached to touch her hands, they were colder than ice, after that he placed the back of his hand to her forehead, it was damp and felt very hot. Such contrasts, it was then did he realize she may have a fever, where someone's body temperature is unsettled, changing from hot to cold and vice versa. What was it that might happen to a patient with a fever again? After some pondering, he remembered, if serious, they may have brain damage. A smirk spread across his face, she deserved it, after what she did to him. It was even better than seeing her heart broken.

He got up and turned to leave. Sure, Ron would be furious if he knew Malfoy had just left his baby sister to die, but then Draco didn't exactly care about what Ron thought. What really made him turn back and carry her was his mother's voice, ringing in his ears. "Draco, I want you to always be a person who would help those others in need, not leave them to perish and die like your father leaves people." Sighing after lifting her off her feet, he wondered what to do with her.

Hospital wing? What would Madame Pomfrey think? Probably that he did this to her, and with everything he has done in the past, it made perfect sense. Gryffindor Common Room? No one was there, who would take care of her? He couldn't exactly leave her stranded outside the portrait. Slytherine Common Room? What could he do if he was there? He wasn't all that much of a healer, hell, he was usually the one who needed a healer after falls from Quidditch. Quidditch! Being captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, he had access to the schedule of bookings. And right now, the Gryffindors were practicing! Potter and Weasley will sure be they're practicing, and Granger, she'll be there to watch while reading or something. They would get her out of his hands! Deciding that this was the perfect solution, Malfoy apparated to the Quidditch stands.

"Malfoy?" Hermione asked looking up from her book, clearly surprised. Then, seeing Ginny in his arms, she dropped the book she was reading and hurried over to him as he set Ginny on the bleachers.

Hermione's expression turned horrific when she saw the condition Ginny was it, and she turned to look at Malfoy for an explanation.

"Don't look at me, Granger, I found her like that! I think she has a fever…"

"Y-you apparated here?" Hermione asked unsure, dropping the matter before.

"Yes, what do you think Granger?" Malfoy sneered. "That I carried that thing all the way here?" Malfoy retorted, acknowledging Ginny as a thing.

"But according to the laws of Apparation, one can only apparate by themselves." Hermione stated confused. "So how did you apparate here with Ginny?"

"That, Granger," Malfoy started. "Is why you take private DADA classes with Professor Snape." Malfoy said before apparating off.

"Ron! Harry!" Hermione called from the stands.

"What is it, 'Mione?" Ron shouted back as he threw the quaffle towards the three hoops.

"It's Ginny! Come here right now!" Hermione shouted back. At the sound of Ginny, both Harry and Ron flew down to the stands on their brooms.

"Bloody hell! What happened to her, 'Mione?" Ron asked, dropping his broom on the floor and hurrying over to her side with Harry following suite.

"I'm not sure, I was just reading and Malfoy appeared with her. And can you believe that he apparated with Ginny! Two people! And I thought you could only apparate by yourself! I must go search on that later!" Hermione asked, fascinated, forgetting that Ginny's life might be as stake.

"'Mione-e-e-e!" Ron wailed. "We do have a Ginny to save!" He scolded, reminding her.

"Right, of course." Hermione recovered and started to perform a spell to wake the unconscious Ginny.

Ginny's eyelids fluttered before they fully opened. Getting up, she groaned. Only to see Harry, Ron and Hermione; the dream team, starring intently at her.

"What?" Ginny asked faintly, smoothing out her migraine with her hands.

"You're sick, Gin. We're bringing you to the Hospital Wing, and whatever that Malfoy did to you! He's going to pay!" Ron said, clenching his fist.

Ginny just nodded as Ron scooped her up and carried her to the Hospital Wing.

"How is Ginny!" Colin shouted, rushing into the Hospital Wing.

"Ginny's better now, but she's asleep, Madame Pomfrey said it was unclear when or if Ginny would wake up, she had an extremely high fever, and because she was left alone for so long, it became quite serious. Luckily it has started to disperse after the potion she drank five hours ago. We're supposed to watch over her because Madame Pomfrey had her Healing class to teach right now." Hermione explained.

"If anything happens to Ginny, Malfoy will being a bloody pulp!" Ron angrily said through gritted teeth.

"Ron, we better go, Ginny's got Colin to take care of her now, and Harry's waiting for us at the Quidditch pitch. You still have to practice." Hermione softly said, putting a hand to his shoulder and gently squeezing it before they both left. Colin just nodded.

"Oh, Ginny…" Colin said by Ginny's bed. "How stupid of me to just leave you with Parvati and Amber!"

"Please wake up Ginny, I'm really sorry to get jealous over the stupid secret admirer thing! I didn't know that you were sick, if I did, I swear, I wouldn't have been drinking in the astronomy tower and skipping class! I would've been right beside you! I promise, that I'll be with you everywhere you'd go!" Colin promised, squeezing Ginny's hand gently. "I'll even quit Quidditch, only if you'll wake up. I'll spend all day taking photos of you, just wake up." He added after her not responding at all.

"Wouldn't Madame Hooch hate me for letting such a good chaser go?" Ginny murmured, smiling before her eyelids fluttered.

"Ginny! You're awake!" Colin exclaimed, pulling her into a hug as she slowly sat up.

As they parted, Colin's face turned a bit pink and Ginny weakly grinned.

"You were jealous." Ginny stated.

"I was not-" Colin protested, but Ginny put a finger to his lips.

"I heard everything Colin Creevey, do not lie to your best friend." Ginny firmly said, lying back into the bed.

"Oh, alright, so I was jealous." Colin admitted, rolling his eyes. "Just a bit."

"Right…" Ginny teased, weakly smiling.

"It was just a bit!" Colin pointed out.

"Whatever you say, Colin Creevey." Ginny replied smiling.

"Oh, by the way this is for you." Colin said, remembering as he brought a single rose from behind him to give to Ginny.

"Thank you Colin." Ginny thanked looking at the rose. It was pink and it was slowly blooming, thornless. "Can you put it in a vase with water?"

"Of course," Colin replied, using his wand to fill a vase with water in the sink nearby. "It had them get rid of the thorns knowing how clumsy you are."

Ginny let out a laugh. "I am not that clumsy! I'm not the one that dropped my camera in third year!"

"That was because you pushed me." Colin reminded her.

"Oh." Ginny said, giving him a weak smile. "Well, I think I'd go back to sleep, I feel really tired."

"Alright, have more rest. I'll stay here just to keep an eye on you." Colin told her.

"No, it's ok, you better go practice." Ginny waved him off.

"Too bad, I'm staying." Colin firmly stated.

Sighing at the spreaded stubbornness from herself, Ginny closed her eyes and within seconds fell asleep, unaware that Colin too had fallen asleep beside her.
Ok, so I lied again, but that was just because these three chapters were already written, but now, this REALLY is the last chapter written. So tell me in your review, should I continue to write and update? Or just abandon this story? And yes I know, Ginny is leaning toward Collin's side, but Draco will come in, just wait, next chapter probably if I continue. So REVIEW, and if I get none, then I'll stop writing...:( Cheers!; )
