Author's Notes: Thank you to all those who reviewed. I was so happy that somebody found the story nice since this is my first fan fiction. Sorry if I took too long in updating this story. Hope you guys like this next installation and to answer Lady Luthien's question... this story will probably take about 9 chapters. I'm still not sure. It could be longer or shorter than that. It could get more angsty as well... Once again… Thank you to all those who reviewed!

Chapter 2:

Ginny stared at the golden object placed on the palm of her hand. Thinking that she was imagining things, she blinked. Nope. The word Ginevra was still carved on the bracelet.

Who could own this? After all the years I've been in Hogwarts, I know nobody having the same name as I do. She said to herself.

"Gin, can you please turn the light off your wand. I can't sleep with any light on." Ryniel's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Sorry, Ryn." she said. She placed the bracelet on her headstand and muttered Nox to turn off the light. Soon after, she drifted off to sleep still thinking about the bracelet and its owner.

The next day...

Ginny came down the stairs to the Common Room only to find it empty except for a girl crouched near the window. From where she was standing, she could see tears streaming from the girl's eyes.

"Hermione, are you okay?"

The girl quickly wiped the tears off her face and looked at her. She gave her a fake smile and said, "Yeah. I'm alright, Ginny."

"Stop lying, Hermione. I saw you crying. What happened?" she walked in her direction and sat beside her.

"It was nothing. Don't worry about it. It was just stupid."

"However stupid it maybe, I want to know what's wrong."

She bit her lip and replied, "I can't take it anymore, Gin." with this she again burst into tears and hugged Ginny. "I saw Ron yesterday morning. In the library. He seemed to be waiting for somebody. I know this is pathetic but, oh God, Gin, I can't bear seeing Ron liking somebody!"

"Don't worry about it, Hermione. I actually felt the same way about Harry about two years ago. I don't think he likes someone though. I mean he would've said something to Harry and you know me and Harry. We practically tell everything to each other. He's probably there to, you know… to do his report."

"But he never does his homework without my help, Gin."

"Well… maybe now he's trying to them on his own instead of bothering you."

"Yeah… perhaps you're right." she said dejectedly.

"Now, come on! Let's go to breakfast! We've got thirty minutes left to eat before going to classes." she said after standing up and offering her hand to help Hermione up.

Hermione gladly took it and both girls went out of the portrait hole. Right after going to the portrait hole, they saw Colin running towards them.

"Gin… Hermione… it's Ron…" he said as he tried to catch his breath.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked.

"He's in the hospital wing. He had a fight with Damian."

"Damian? Who's Damian?" Hermione asked confused.

"He's a Ravenclaw and Sephire's ex-boyfriend." Ginny answered.

"Sephire? As in Sephire, Dean's cousin!"

"Yes! Now, Come on! Harry's already there." Colin said.

They entered the Hospital Wing. On the far left corner they could see Ron lying on the bed. A girl with blonde hair was sitting on his bedside while Harry was on the other side. They were busy with a conversation when the three approached them.

"Ron! What the hell happened?" Ginny said as she and Hermione came and sat beside Harry. Colin sat to Ginny's right.

Ron blushed. He looked at them then to the blonde on his left. He released a deep sigh and then said, "Damian got so freaking jealous when he saw us together in the library. He just started punching me."

"Why would he be jealous about? It's not like you guys are together." Hermione said as her eyes started to narrow at him.

Ron just looked down finding something fascinating with his hands. Then he looked at Sephire and held her hand. "Um… Everybody… Sephire and I are going out for about two weeks now."

Ginny heard a deep intake of breath at Hermione's direction. "That's very nice, Ron." Hermione said as she gave them what, to Ginny, appeared to be a fake smile. "I better get going. I still have to talk to Professor McGonagall about something." She left with haste. Ginny and Harry followed her after saying a quick good bye.

Her eyes were met by two gray orbs. He was wearing a blank expression. His face was free of his infamous smirk or his malicious smile. She continued to stare and he stared right back. Then suddenly somebody just sat in front of her blocking her view. She blinked. Harry's face came into view. A smirking Harry.

"Caught you staring." he said as though it isn't the most obvious thing in the world.

"Well... it is you fault, Harry. If you didn't tell me about him then I wouldn't be looking at him."

"You tell me all the time that Ryniel has a thing for me and always stares when I'm not looking but do you see me staring at her?"

She raised her hand in surrender. "Okay, fine. You win. Can we just drop the topic?"

Harry just grinned at her but didn't say anything. Then, Harry looked at her left arm strangely and said, "Gin, where did you get the bracelet?"

She looked at her arm. The Golden bracelet was on it. She released a sigh and replied, "I picked it up during one of my night patrols. I found it just below the painting on the dark hallway on the third floor. You know the weird thing is my name is carved on it. Here look." She moved her sleeves up to show the dragon bracelet.

Harry stared at it confused. "This is really disturbing, Gin. Who could possibly own this? There's nobody here who has the same name as yours." he stated as a matter-of-factly.

"That's what's bothering me, Harry. I thought that maybe I should wear it today and somebody would see it and claim it as theirs."

"You're probably right but I think you shouldn't have worn it. It could be cursed."

Her eyes grew shocked. "Harry… You don't think." she quickly tried to remove the bracelet. Luckily for her, it quickly came off. "Phew! That was close. It scared the hell out of me!"

"You know what, Gin. There's this antique shop on Hogsmeade. We could let them take a look at your bracelet if you want since we're going there tomorrow anyways."

"That would be nice. Thanks, Harry."

"Don't worry about it. Well… we better hurry up. Class is about to start."

They stood up and went their way to their respective classes

Ginny squeezed through the crowded hallway as she headed for dinner. Just my luck to go through here. I should have taken the other hallway. She continued her way through when all of a sudden she can't move her left arm. She continued to yank it but to no avail. What the hell? She looked back and saw that her bracelet was caught on somebody's robes. She was trying to apologize when she looked up to see who the person was. To her horror, the person was Malfoy!
