Thanks for the reviews! Harmswife... well guessed! robin, no smoochies for a little while as they're going to be a bit stupid I'm afraid! harrypotterchick4ever, sorry I worded it a bit badly... I was going to ask where you were but before I posted I saw your review, just wanted to prove that I value you lol!

But now I'm going to ask about Lost Enchanter as you haven't reviewed since chapter 15!! You've been a great help from the start so I hope you're still reading :)

Before he could do anything there came a loud pop followed by an even louder thump as a red haired body materialized from thin air and crumpled to the floor…

Ginny had been avoiding Draco all day; she had led him a merry chase round the house in her desperate attempt to avoid a confrontation. She knew that she was being silly and childish but she really needed some time to get her head straight. The dreams she had the night before about Draco had seemed more vivid and real than anything she'd done with a boy in her waking life.

Ginny didn't understand how a day of being treated like a princess and one kiss could have made her feel this way. She was obviously over-reacting to the situation they had been in and instead of being worried about their possible capture her brain had decided to focus on Draco instead. That must be it… I'm in shock she thought, although she felt absolutely fine apart from an insatiable urge for another of those mind blowing kisses.

Footsteps sounded down the corridor so Ginny slipped into the medical room in an attempt to avoid who ever it might be. If it's Draco then he is really good at tracking me down. As she looked around for a place to hide she caught sight of the charms that would call people there. For some reason Ron's Chudley Cannons player caught her eye and she felt a stab of panic in her stomach and an acrid taste in her mouth. Maybe I actually am in shock? She wondered before hearing the footsteps get closer. Just in time she escaped through the other door and fled down the stairs towards the kitchen as quickly as possible.

Halfway down the stairs Ginny was hit with a wave of pain and had to pause, as she stopped she heard a loud pop followed by a thump. The noise came from the medical room that she had just left. "Draco!" she whispered and immediately turned back the way she came… Tonks, obviously having heard the noise too, overtook her and threw back the door to the medical room. When Ginny caught up she saw what Tonks was gawping at... Draco leaning over a body that lay crumpled on the floor. "Ronald?" Ginny said, paralysed by shock.

"Draco – How could you?" Tonks said just as Remus reached them.

"What's happening here?" Remus asked. "Boy, what did you do to him?"

Draco looked up at the three people surrounding him; he caught all of their eyes. "I did nothing." He stated, not really sure what else to say. He was angry that these people acted as if they trusted him but at the first sign of trouble they turned on him and he was sure it showed in his face.

"Did you come here for this?" Remus asked coldly. "We trusted you when the potion worked, like the fools we are. I ask again, what have you done?"

Ginny looked at Draco and he begged her with his eyes for help and belief. An unknown feeling welled up in her chest; instinctively she just knew he was telling the truth. "He didn't do it." She said quietly.

Tonks gave her the barest of glances. "Ginny I got here before you; you're taking your trust too far this time."

Ginny felt her chest fill up with heat; a red hot flush spread all over her body and she felt as if she was sitting too close to an open fireplace. She sucked in a breath and felt as though her lungs were ablaze. The air in front of her face was distorting, it was hazy and rippling like the air in a heat wave.

Remus turned to say something to her but gasped in shock, Ginny's hair was whipping round her face as though an unfelt breeze was attacking her. He went to take a step towards her but was forced back by the vast amount of heat that was radiating from her small frame. She looked up and her normally brown eyes were flecked full of bright, shining gold light.

She boomed in a voice that seemed to come from the atmosphere itself. "He is telling the truth."

Just then another pop sounded and Hermione appeared in front of them, she stumbled slightly and then focused on Ginny who had felt the heat drain away from her as soon as it had arrived. "Help him." Hermione screamed, grabbing hold of Ginny's arm and dragging her to the prostrate form of Ron of the floor. "What happened?" asked Ginny.

"We found one of the horcruxes but there was some sort of magical barrier surrounding it. Harry wanted to try to go through but Ron said that we should remember what happened to Dumbledore. He… he said that Harry was too important so he would try to get through… I offered but he said - he said that I was too important to him and he wouldn't be able to live if I got hurt… Help him Ginny; I never got to tell him I love him." Hermione's last sentence was barely recognisable through the sobs that racked her body.

Ginny knelt down by his body and tried to examine him. As soon as she touched his skin she had to pull her hands away. "He's freezing cold." Ginny's eyes widened as she saw small patches of ice forming round his closed eyes and the corners of his mouth, they were getting larger as she watched. "Hermione, what was the barrier like?"

Hermione looked up with bloodshot eyes. "White, it was like a white viscous wall but there was a blue filmy substance floating through it."

Ginny was worried; it wasn't anything she had heard of before. She ran to the desk and grabbed a bezoar but apart from slowing the rate of ice forming over him it seemed to make no difference to Ron's condition.

"Ginny – do something, please. I love him." Hermione wailed. Ginny was wringing her hands and tears were forming in her eyes. "Hermione I love him too, he's my brother… I just don't know what to do."

Remus and Tonks were standing there helplessly, Remus had tried calling for Madam Pomfry with her charm but there was no response. Draco looked from Ron's body to Hermione and finally to Ginny and the tears in her eyes which had yet to fall. He cast aside all hatred he had for the boy on the floor and strode over to them purposefully. Hermione gasped as he dragged her upright by her arm…

"This magic wall, did it have a dark blue liquid running through it or a light one?" He shook her slightly when she stared at him as if stupefied. "Blue-" she muttered uselessly… then her head shot up. "Electric blue, I remember thinking it was glowing so brightly."

Draco dropped her arm and ran over to the potions desk. He began rummaging manically through the ingredients and throwing things together. Everyone else in the room held their breath as he took another bezoar and dipped it in the gloopy brown mixture he had concocted.

Nervously Draco walked back over to his old enemy and gave Hermione a look asking for her permission to treat Ron. Hermione nodded quickly, her mane of bushy hair flying round her face as she did.

He prized open Ron's rapidly freezing jaw and popped the mixture he had made in. After a few seconds Ron's skin had turned a normal colour and his breathing was noticeably better. "He'll probably be asleep for a day or so because to get the full curative effect you should leave the potion to sit for an hour. But he will be ok." Draco was shocked as Hermione enveloped him in a giant hug. She was sobbing into his chest and saying "thank you." over and over.

Draco pulled a face of disgust at the thought of being hugged by 'the mudblood' but still brought himself to pat her awkwardly on the back. "You see... girls are always throwing themselves at me." he joked to the room in general.
