Disclaimer: Nothing to say at the present.

It was quiet in the Great Hall that morning. Everyone had heard about what had happened with Ron and Hermione and the moment Harry and Ginny had entered the Hall, everyone had become still. Fortunately, Healers had been called and had been able to get the two unfortunates breathing again. The bad thing was that they weren't able to move them. They would both start screaming and convulsing in pain and the Healers said that if they tried to move the two, Hermione and Ron could die...

Harry looked up to see McGonagall standing there.

"Ms. Weasley, your parents are here, as well as Ms. Granger's. They are outside waiting for you two." As Harry stood up with Ginny, he addressed his teacher.

"Are we allowed in yet?" McGonagall shook her head sadly.

"I'm sorry. The answer is still no. No one is allowed in there until the Healers have finished." Harry nodded silently. When they entered the entrance hall of Hogwarts the spotted the Weasley clan and the Grangers. Dumbledore was with them. Mrs. Weasley spotted them.

"Oh Ginny!" She scooped her daughter and held her close. Ginny closed her eyes tight, feeling the tears coming down her cheeks. As she held her daughter, Molly turned to Harry. "You poor thing..." Fred turned to Dumbledore.

"Can't we see them?" He shook his head gravely.

"I'm sorry, I have been told not to let anyone in." Mr. Granger frowned.

"What happened to our daughter?" Dumbledore closed his eyes.

"We don't know..." Mrs. Granger frowned also.

"What do you mean you don't know? Our daughter is up there close to death and all you can say is that you don't know!" Mr. Granger took hold of his wife as she started to cry. Dumbledore didn't answer. Harry stood of to the side, his face pale. He didn't want to hear any of this. He had everything to lose in that infirmary. Ron and Hermione were the closest things to family he had and if they died... He closed his eyes, not wanting to think about it. They're going to make it, he told himself. He felt a hand on his shoulder and he opened his eyes. Ginny was standing there, looking at him with concerned eyes.

"We're going up to the infirmary." He nodded and started to walk. Ginny walked beside him, taking his hand in her hands, intertwining thier fingers. Harry looked down at thier hands then up at her. She held his gaze for a moment then looked up ahead, watching her step as they went up the stairs. Dumbledore stopped them and entered the infirmary. He was in there for a while and then appeared.

"The head Healer says that only family is allowed in." All eyes fell on Harry. Ginny moved closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Harry's family." Everyone's eyes fell to their hands and smiled slightly. Dumbledore nodded and opened the door, letting everyone by. The passed all the empty beds until they reached the beds with the curtains drawn. Madame Pomfrey pulled back the curtain and everyone gasped. There, lying on the beds were Ron and Hermione. Oblivious to the world they lay there, limp and beaten. Bandages covered thier bodies and deep scratches marred thier faces. Both looked awful. Mrs. Weasley broke down crying at the sight of her broken son. Harry just stared, turning paler. Some how seeing them lying there, not able to say anything and completely helpless was worse that finding them in the rubble of the fire.

Mr. Granger moved closer, gazing upon the still form that used to be his daughter.

"Why was she with him?" Fred cocked an eyebrow.

"What?" Mr. Granger turned to the questioning twin.

"We all know somethings been going on with your brother. Why would she leave herself alone with him?" Bill looked confused.

"What's been going on?" Mrs. Granger looked surprised.

"Really? You don't know?" Bill shook his head. Ginny had been silent for way to long. She was the one who answered him.

"We think that Ron's been setting people on fire. Everytime someone's alone with him, they catch on fire." Bill frowned.

"Wait... Ron's been setting people on fire?" They didn't answer. He then turned to Charlie. "This sounds familiar..." They all turned to him.

"What?" Arthur asked. Bill scratched his head, trying to remember.

"Well... I think it was during the last war... You and mum were gone and Charlie and I were left in charge of everyone." He turned to Ginny. "You're to young to remember this Gin..." Mrs. Granger was growing impatient.

"What happened?" Bill shrugged.

"I don't know for sure. It happened over a matter of time that we took no notice of it..." Charlie cut in.

"That is until that one time." Ginny piped up.

"What happened?" Bill's eyes traveled to his youngest brother.

"We were all playing Quiddich... I think we wouldn't let Ron play. He stormed inside and that was the last time we saw him for hours. We were just coming in when... well..." Fred suddenly jerked.

"Oh I remember that! Ginny started crying! We came in to see what had happened..."

"And we found Ginny... her bed was frozen solid..." Molly frowned.

"How come I don't remember this?" Percy was the one who spoke.

"That's because we didn't want to tell you... I remember too... Ron had disappeared and it took us forever to defrost the whole room without wands." Ginny gave a slight wimper.

"What happened to me?" Charlie answered her.

"That's the problem. When we finally did find Ron he wasn't himself. He was angry all the time and he locked himself the attic... The house was so cold that day." Bill took over.

"Ron had been acting strange all summer. Everytime something bad happened to him, either something would start to freeze or the house would turn cold."

"How come you didn't tell us?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Bill shrugged.

"We personally thought it had something to do with the war..."

"But what does that have to do with Ron now?" Ginny asked. Charlie gazed at his brother.

"I think something similar is happening now..."

"Where am I?" Ron asked, looking around. He was surrounded by a vast plain of ice, yet he wasn't cold.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. A voice answered, sounding from everywhere yet know where. Ron whirled around, trying to find the source.

"Where are you?"

YOU KNOW WHERE I AM. Ron frowned and started walking across the ice. He found it strange that he could walk so easily across it. He tried to find the voice.

"I don't understand. What happened to me?"

I CALLED YOU.

"Called me?"

YES.

"Why?"

BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE YOU BELONG. YOU CREATED THIS. Ron looked around, the artic wilderness everywhere he gazed.

"Anyone could create this," he said, rolling his eyes.

YOU HAVE BEEN GONE TO LONG. YOUR EYES ARE DECIEVING YOU. Ron looked around.

"I still don't understand. Who are you?"

WHO I AM DOESN'T MATER RIGHT NOW. WHO YOU ARE DOES. Ron was still confused. I SENSE YOUR CONFUSION. DON'T BE AFRAID.

"What happened to me? Hermione?"

YOU HAVE NEVER HAD MUCH CONTROL. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE HERE.

"Hermione?"

SHE IS NO LONGER VALUABLE.

"What?"

SHE HAS SERVED HER PURPOSE.

"What was that?"

TO BRING YOU HERE.

"Will she die?" The voice didn't answer. Ron frowned. "Will she die?"

THAT IS NO LONGER IN MY HANDS. Ron was growing angry with the responses.

"What am I doing here?"

TO LEARN CONTROL.

"Who are you?"

I AM YOUR CREATION. ALL OF THIS IS YOUR CREATION.

"What is this?"

ONLY YOU CAN ACCESS IT. Ron paced.

"Where are you?"

TURN AROUND. Ron did and stared. There before him was a creature he had never seen before. It's body was a whirlwind of snow, green eyes shining out.

"What's going to happen to Hermione?"

I CANNOT SAY. The creature seemed to speak through thoughts. His responses were angering Ron.

"What do you mean you can't say!"

I CANNOT SAY. Ron stepped towards the beast.

"That's not good enough!" Suddenly Ron's hand caught on fire, only this time Ron didn't feel anything. The fire wasn't even affecting him. Ron smiled, watching the fire. He lifted his hand behind his back and then threw it forward as if he was throwing a quaffle. The flame shot from his hand and hit a large ice hill in the distance, causing it to explode. Ron's smile grew and closing his eyes, he concentrated on a image. Opening his eyes, his gaze encountered a whole new terrain. His terrain. The ground was still ice, but the hills were made of flames. There were trees of stone and lakes of gold. There were other creatures too. They were much smaller than the creature at his side and instead of snow, they were made of noxious fumes that gave Ron a feverish ecstasy. The creature smiled with him.

YOU REMEMBER.

"Look!" Ginny shrieked, pointing to Ron. Everyone turned to see his body twisting and convulsing, his mouth opening yet no noise coming out. He looked as if he was being tortured.

"What's going on?" Molly asked, grabbing Arthur with fear. A Healer, hearing the commotion, came out of Pomfrey's office and ran over to the occupied beds. He pushed past the crowd and pulled out his wand, whispering under his breath. Ron continued to writher, screaming silently. Then flames started to show. Mrs. Granger screamed as the fire consumed Ron, but, as everyone began to notice, his skin didn't seem to be harmed.

WHOOSH! Everyone crouched down, screening themselves as smoke billowed from where Ron was. They slowly stood up and gasped.

"Where's Ron?"

A/N: WOW! Didn't see that coming! I sure didn't!

x-Drama-Queen93-x-: Everyone has so many ideas and lots of them are really close. You're kinda close.

i.v.37: I like causing so much angst amongst my reviewers! Is he dead, is he alive? I love it!

Coconut Girl: You are definatly on to something!

Wesker888: Here you go!

ronandmion4ever: No one said anything about the chapter tease being on this chapter. Hope you do good in the election!

I would like to take the time to inform everyone that Blood and Chocolate is currently on Hold. Yes I know... but I am having a hard time coming up with a good next chapter and I don't want to give you all something bad. I like to keep you coming back. The novel is not being abandoned! I am currently working on the next chapter, just don't expect it anytime soon. I would also like to answer publicly ronandmion4ever's review question just in case anyone was wondering.

I told everyone that I do not follow HBP. The reason is because I don't like the idea of Snape being evil. It's not just because he's really sexy in the movies (yes I thing Alan Rickman is sexy!) but because he is like the coolest guy in the books! (after Ron of course.) Other reason's is because it's a way for me to get the trio back into Hogwarts, and to see some Harry and Ginny time. The book doesn't exactly explain their relationship very well. Plus I like the way I got them together! I have nothing against JKR! She's one of the best writers! I just don't think I could write according to the sixth book.

No Chapter Tease. I haven't even gotten around to the last one!
