"Mate, she'll be fine. Pomfrey said she's dealt with stuff like this before," said Blaise, Draco's best friend, who, by the way, started having a fit as soon as he stepped into Blaise's dorm.

"But what if she isn't? Don't you get it Blaise? She could die, and then I'll die. But I don't even care if I died if she was alive and well," heaved Draco while pacing the floor of the only person he knew could go to. "I have an idea." And with that Draco left Blaise's dorm for his own, which still had a sleeping situation problem.

As soon as he got to he and Hermione's common room he threw his book bag to the side and began to write. He wrote to his mother. He wrote to Blaise. He even wrote to Potter, the Weasleys, and Mr. And Mrs. Granger. Lastly, he wrote to Gringotts telling them exactly what should happen with his fortune, should he and Hermione meet an early demise. But what he wanted to do with all that money might surprise you.

And about three hours later he was finally done and decided to take a nap right then and there on the couch near the desk he had been working on.

knock knock knock knock…..knock knock*

"Who is it?" He strained, his throat dry and parched from his nap.

"Ginny, and it's important," said the redhead happily from the other side of the door.

Without even bothering to answer her, he rolled off of the couch and answered the door. Opening it, he was surprised to see how exuberant the shorter girl was.

"Any news on Granger?" He asked blatantly, not even bothering to greet her, not that she cared nor noticed.

"That's why I'm here. Hermione is awake and well but she's staying in the hospital ward overnight to make sure nothing unexpected happens. She been asking for you," she said, now calm and collected as she usually was around most people.

Without even looking behind him Draco began walking.

"What time is it?" He asked, realizing he had no idea how long he had been asleep.

"About five-ish now, dinner hasn't started yet," spoke Ginny, using the watch-thing on her wrist Hermione had given her for Christmas a couple years back.

As he walked through the ward's door and spotted his mate, Draco instantly felt all of the anger, tension, and worry melt away, just from seeing her smile. To him, even though her hair was matted and her makeup was smudged, she was still the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen.

As Ginny went to dinner to give them some privacy, Draco waltzed up he to Hermione's bed, happy to see that she was awake.

"How're you feeling?" He asked, not sure how to bring up his main reason of wanting to see her.

"I'm fine, thanks for saving my too. You seem nervous, why?"

"Because I thought I lost you," he said, losing confidence to continue with each word he spoke. "And I know that you aren't up for it right now, but I'd like to take you out…….on a date," he finished, happy that she wasn't making some sort of face expression showing that she was discussed at the notion of such a thing.

"I'd like that," she said as soon as he stopped talking, which took him by surprise.

As it turns out, Blaise was the student with the best Draught of Living Death, and won the Liquid Luck. Knowing that he had a friend who was in need of a little luck, Blaise opted to save the potion for a time when he was in great need. But right now that's quite irrelevant because he's got a date with Ginny in twenty minutes.

Ginny, still shaken up from the recent news from Hermione and her little accident in Potions earlier that day, thought she should reschedule with Blaise for both of them to get their minds off of their friend's lives.

They decided to meet in the room of requirement, as Ginny couldn't leave the grounds because she was still a seventh year. Well, that, and the fact that it was midnight and the curfew for seventh years was ten pm.

Using the coin from DA she configured to only alert Blaise by heating up and getting colder as he got closer to her location, she let him know that she was waiting outside the room.

As he turned the corner, Blaise noticed that his coin was now completely cooled just as he noticed Ginny standing outside of the large wooden door.

"Hi," whispered, bringing Blaise into a warm hug.

"Hey, how are you," asked Blaise, happy to see the tall redhead in front of him and get Draco's problems out of his head.

As Ginny led him into the Room of Requirement Blaise was surprised to see a bubblegum pink bean bag chair, an electric blue sofa, and variously colored tables and chairs.

"This. Is. Awesome," she exhaled, astounded by the makeshift hangout spot. "Where did you see this?"

"On some muggle television show Hermione showed me a couple years back, I felt just like you do know," she answered pulling a bread roll wrapped in a white napkin out of her pocket.

"What's with the bread?" Blaise questioned, now thoroughly confused.

"Just watch," she told him quite snappily. As soon as she pulled out her wand she proceeded to transfigure the cold roll into hot fries and chicken nuggets and placed them on a plate from one of the tables.

"Umm, what are those" asked Blaise, as he had never seen McDonald's— or any other fast food for that matter— before.

"It's something called 'fast food.' Hermione showed it to me when she took me to the muggle world. This stuff is from a place call 'McDonald's. Taste it, it's good." She answered, picking up some fries.

While he was hesitant to actually put the food in his mouth, he was pleasantly surprised at the greasy taste of fries and the new and different taste of chicken nuggets. "Ok this is amazing. We have to have this all the time." He said enthusiastically.

After eating for a while Ginny turned on the radio that she had managed to make work within the castle, and her favorite band, 5 Seconds of Summer was on one of the stations for the next hour as the danced.

By the time the got up to leave two hours later, they were both quite tied as you can expect, because it was 2am and they had to be up and awake for class the next morning.

"I had a nice time tonight," said Ginny timidly because she got quiet and shy when he was tired.

"Me too, this was fun," replied Blaise, as he for some reason or another lost his bravado of coolness at some point during the night.

Just as the were about to part ways Ginny swiftly pecked him on the cheek and quickly walked in the opposite direction as him towards the Gryffindor dorms, with her whole face burning up and red.
