Draco looked down at the cowering figure on the floor. "Olivia?" he asked aloud.

Olivia's eyes widened at the boy. "Drakie?" She hoisted herself up, looking around at all the Slytherins that were gathered around the booth. "What are you doing?"

Before he could answer, Ron came bustling through. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, Malfoy?!" he sneered. He didn't care if Olivia was there, he knew that she knew better than to repeat that word. "Don't you have to go and kiss the shoes of your Dark Lord?!"

Blaise, who was standing right behind Ron, eyed Hermione. "Mione .. You okay?" he asked softly.

Hermione gave him a curious look. "Wha-What are you doing?" she whispered, her cheeks damp and eyes puffy.

Blaise stepped forward, sliding into the chair and bringing her closer to him. She snuggled back. "I'm protecting you." he said seriously.

"Blaise!" shrieked Pansy. "What do you think you're doing hugging her?!"

Ginny flinched at the sound of her ear piercing voice. "Bloody hell, Parkinson! Keep your bloody voice down!" she practically yelled at the girl. "He's bloody hugging his girlfriend, alright!?" She was too angry to even care about Draco being there. "He doesn't want you, so I propose you go and bully someone else!"

"No one was talking to you, Weasel." snarled Keira. "I believe Pansy was speaking to Blaise."

"And I believe Blaise was ignoring her!" snapped Olivia, her hands on her hips. "You're lucky Nevie and Lavy aren't here to kick your sorry butt!"

Despite the situation, Ron laughed. "I suggest you and your Voldemort-loving friends leave, Malfoy." He saw a few of the Slytherins shift around uncomfortably when he mentioned the Dark Lord's name.

Draco scowled. "What the hell do you think your doing, Blaise?! Hugging the Mudblood?! Have you gone that low?!"

Ginny answered for him. "At least Zabini fights for what and who he loves. All of you (she pointed at the Slytherins) do as your parents tell you. He loves Hermione and if you have something to say about it, then just bloody keep your mouths shut! No one wants to hear, nor do we care!" She shot Draco a glare. "Get the fuck out of here, Malfoy." Turning her head, she stared at Keira and Pansy. "And take your sluts with you." Her face now flooding with tears, Ginny grabbed her jacket and put it on. "I'm going to back to the castle. You coming?" she asked the others.

Ron picked up Olivia, watching Draco and his little cronies exit the place without saying anything else. He heard Keira complain about Blaise, but Draco simply shrugged it off. "Yeah."

Hermione was still in Blaise's embrace, so afraid to let him go. "Don't leave me." she whispered. "Please .. Don't leave me."

"I wouldn't leave you for the world, Love." he said back, tightening his grip around her waist.

Nodding her head towards the door, Ginny said, "I think they need their time alone. Let's go and find Colin and Neville. Maybe they want to get back."

Ron ignored her last statement. "Why were you crying, Gin?"

Sniffling, Ginny stated, "You wouldn't understand, Ron."

"I'm your brother, Ginny. I'll try my best to understand. Just tell me." he protested.

"Can we just not talk about? I want to go." she said sternly.

"Alright." Ron took one last glance at Hermione and Blaise. "They're really happy aren't they?"

Ginny smiled. "Very happy."

Ginny Weasely and Colin Creevey sat side by side on Monday morning in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Today, Professor Bloom, was teaching the class to perform a very complicated spell.

".. The Vilete Monsiur is a very powerful spell and only few people can actually administer it. We will be practicing its simpler version, The Vindete Racprum. Anyone can perform this spell, it is quite easy .." droned the Professor.

"Ginny?" Colin whispered.

Ginny, who was staring out the window, snapped out of her reverie. "Hhmm ..?"

"How did you know that .. Well .. That I was .. Uh ..-"

"Gay?" she asked him.

Colin stared at that table nervously. "Yeah .."

"I've been your best friends for six years, Colin. I know everything about you." she answered him simply.

They sat there in class for almost an hour, being lectured on and on about the two spells. Colin would occasionally nudge Ginny in the shoulders, persuading for her to pay attention. She would just scowl at him and proceed to look out the window, watching each snowflake fall to the ground. It was when the class ended and Ginny and Colin were the only ones left, was when Ginny stopped looking out the window. "Miss Weasely .. Mr. Creevey." acknowledged Professor Bloom. "You two are staying for the next class, are you not?"

Ginny completely forgot about helping Professor Bloom with his other classes. "Of course, Professor. But .. I have Divination next period." she stated clearly.

"So do I." piped in Colin.

"I've notified Professor Trelawney about this already. She says its quite alright." explained the Professor. "The next class will be here soon, so I suggest you two move up over here to the front."

Ginny and Colin collected their things and scurried over to the two chairs next to the Professor. "The class that is coming in now is a seventh year class. They are learning about the Vilete Monsiur, just as you are. But .. Unlike your class, four people in this one can actually perform it. You two are the test subjects."

Ginny's eyes widened. "What?! But .. The Vilete Monsiur causes the victim's internal organs to explode, also resulting in an inhumane death!"

"What?!" yelled Colin. "I want to keep my organs if that's okay with you!"

Professor Bloom chuckled. "Do not worry, Miss Weasely. You and Mr. Creevey will keep your internal organs."

"But, how exactly is that possible?" asked Ginny. "The Vilete Monsiur is fatal to anyone who is hit. There is no way you can cure it, or help the person who is dying."

"That's where Mr. Creevey comes in." said the Professor.

Ginny was still very confused. "But, Professor Bloom, I don't understand what you're trying to say. It doesn't matter if Colin is there, I'm still going to lose my organs and die if I'm hit with that spell. Unless, of course, Colin and I were to ..." Ginny placed her hand over her mouth. "Professor .. You can't possibly be saying that .."

Colin still didn't get what the two were babbling about. "Me and you were to what?" he asked Ginny.

Ginny disregarded Colin. "But, Professor .. We both can't perform the Senuchie Sepure! It's IMPOSSIBLE!"

Colin became irritated. "What the bloody hell is the SENUCHIE SEPURE!?"

Letting out and exasperating sigh, Professor Bloom replied, "The Senuchie Sepure is a spell you perform on the victim, so a white aura will surround his/her body. I want you and Miss Weasely to enunciate this spell on each other."

Colin snorted. "That's not going to happen, Professor. Ginny and I are inexperienced! Only trained Aurors can properly use that spell!"

Ginny agreed. "It's a very big risk, Professor! The Senuchie Sepure can only be used when a spell is being aimed your way. If Colin and I don't perform the spell correctly, we will both die. This isn't something I decided on!"

Their conversation came to a halt, when seventh years came sauntering in. Colin almost choked to death. "Gryffindors and Slytherins?"

Ginny swallowed upon seeing Draco, Pansy and Keira enter the room. "Oh bloody hell." she muttered, rubbing her temple. "This is not going to be fun at all."

Ron and Harry entered the class together, a very joyous Hermione and Blaise right behind them. Olivia was holding Blaise's hand.

Ron spotted Ginny and Colin. "Ginny? Colin? What are you guys doing here?" he asked them, not caring if everyone in the class heard.

Professor Bloom butt in, "Mr. Weasely, your sister and Mr. Creevey are here to assist me with our lesson today. Now .. Please sit."

The whole stayed silent for a while, Draco gazing at Ginny. "Now .. We will be continuing our lesson from yesterday." As the students were taking out their books, someone else entered the class.

"I'm sorry, Professor. I got caught up." apologized a breathless Dean Thomas. He saw Colin and winked at him.

Professor Bloom gestured for him to take a seat. "Now, seeing as everyone is present, I'd like to continue. We were learning about The Vilete Monsiur yesterday, were we not?" Her heard a few mumbles and saw a few nods go around in the room. "Today .. We will be testing this."

Hermione raised her hand. She was seated in-between Blaise and Olivia, behind Ron and Harry. Professor Bloom pointed to her. "Professor, that's not possible. The victim will die. There is no way we can perform that spell on something, let alone someone."

"Good point, Miss Granger. But, you will perform the spell." he said simply.

Hermione stared at him. "Did you not hear me, Professor? The victim WILL die!"

Ignoring her comment, he spoke to Colin and Ginny. "Miss Weasely, Mr. Creevey .. Will you both please stand in front of the class."

Ginny didn't have any other choice, then to follow Colin. "Miss Granger, Mr. Weasely, Mr. Zabini, and Mr. Malfoy .. Will you please stand and go to the back to the class."

"They must be the four that know how to perform the spell." Colin whispered to Ginny. "Who ever thought Ron would be able to?"

Ginny smacked Colin upside the head. "Not funny, Colin!"

Professor Bloom flicked his wand and mumbled a spell. Soon, the desks in the class were pushed to either side of the room, leaving a huge space in the middle. The students were still seated in their chairs, awaiting what was going to happen next. "Mr. Creevey and Miss Weasely, will you both please step away from each other?"

Breathing deeply, Ginny took a few steps to the side, putting a rather large gap in-between her and Colin. Colin did the same, making the gap even bigger. "Wands at the ready!" snapped Professor Bloom.

All six people snapped up their wands. Hermione looked reluctant. "Professor, you're not doing what I think you're doing .. Are you?"

Professor Bloom grinned. "Miss Granger, please step up."

Hermione bit her lip and took a few steps forward. "When I count to three, you with announce The Vilete Monsiur."

"What?! NO!" she argued. "At Ginny and Colin?! No way in hell!"

Professor Bloom grew impatient. "Do you want to pass my class, Miss Granger?"

"Yes, Professor." she responded sulkily.

"Then you will do as your told. Now .. Wand at the ready!"

Lifting up her wand, Hermione mouthed a sorry to the two. Let's hope they know what they're doing.

Ron stayed quiet, not knowing what was happening. He wasn't even paying attention in class the day before. Professor Bloom just called on him to perform a spell on a small kneazle at the back of the class. Ron did what he was told and muttered the spell. What surprised the red head the most was the face that he did it right.

Hermione licked her lips, waiting for the Professor. "Miss Weasely, Mr. Creevey .. You know what to do."

Ginny looked at Colin nervously and tilted her head. "Good luck, Colin." she said uneasily.

"We don't need luck, Gin. We need a bloody miracle." he replied.

Both raising their wands and pointing it at Hermione, they also waited for the Professor's cue. "One .." he started.

Ginny shut her eyes. "Two .."

Colin began to panic.

"Three!" he yelled.

"VILETE MONSIUR!" screamed Hermione.

"SENUCHIE SEPURE!" shrieked Colin and Ginny, their wands pointing at each other. The three said both spells at the same time.

A white beam shot out of Hermione's wand, the beam splitting in half and directing itself towards Ginny and Colin.

As Ginny and Colin said their spell, a green spark flew forward and lunged itself at the two, causing a huge bubble to appear and surround them separately. The two white beams hit the force field, but only was absorbed by it, making the field much stronger.

Ginny opened her eyes slowly. "Oh Merlin." she whispered. "We did it."

Colin was sweating like a pig. "We did it?" he asked her, staring at the thin layer of green around him.

Professor Bloom clapped, urging the class to applaud with him. "Well done, Mr. Creevey, Miss Weasely. I knew you could do it."

In a matter of seconds, the fields faded away. Hermione smiled. "I didn't know you guys could bloody do that!" she exclaimed.

Colin smirked. "We're just so good." Ginny snorted.

"Mr. Weasely .. Will you please step up?" asked Professor Bloom.

"We're doing this again?" whined Ginny. Colin didn't look too happy either.

Ron hesitantly stepped forward, his wand already high in the air. He gulped. "You better protect yourself, Ginny."

Ginny rolled her eyes. "If you kill me .. You kill me." she teased.

Ron looked mortified at the thought of killing his own sister. "Wands at the ready!" snapped Professor Bloom again.

At the sound of his voice, Colin raised her wand, ignoring the blinding and throbbing pain in his head. Things around were starting to get hazy and Ron was soon becoming blurry. "One .." he heard a voice say.

Trying his best to focus, Colin blinked her eyes open and closed. "Two .."

If he didn't stay up long enough, he wouldn't be able to perform the spell on Ginny. Rubbing his forehead with his hand, he breathed in deeply. "Three!"

"VILETE MONSIUR!" he heard someone yell.

"SENUCHIE SEPURE!" he heard a female voice and a male voice scream. Then, did he realize that the male voice wasn't his.

Colin collapsed on the floor, seeing the same thin field around him before falling into a very deep sleep.

"Wands at the ready!" snapped Professor Bloom.

Ginny's arms raised almost automatically. Taking a look at Colin, Ginny frowned. He looked tired, weary lines now appearing on his face. Did the spell drain his energy? Did something bad happen? Did Ginny do this to him? "One .."

Ginny prepared herself. "Two .."

She took one last glance at Colin, who was swaying steadily at the moment. Oh no. She thought in her head. "Three!"

"VILETE MONSIUR!" yelled Ronald.

Ginny reacted quickly. "SENUCHIE SEPURE!" she shrieked. Someone else yelled the same spell with her. She saw Colin fall to the floor, his wand crashing down with him. Seeing the bubble surround him, she let out a breath. But .. Remembering that Colin had to do the same for her, Ginny turned her head. The white beam was nearing her at top speed. It was then her bubble appeared, someone running to her and holding her tightly.

The impact of Ron's Vilete Monsiur caused the inhabitants in Ginny's bubble to fall to the ground. Who saved her from this immediate death? Who risked their life and ran to protect her? Opening her eyes slowly, Ginny met someone's concerned gaze.

"Draco?" she asked softly, underneath his body.

He didn't answer, but simply stroked her cheek, telling her without words that she was alright. Not being able to control himself, Draco leaned forward and placed his lips on hers.
