Chapter 2

"Enervate!"

Ginny's eyes slowly opened and she gave a little high pitched noise from the back of her throat. She sat up and looked around; she was lying in a bed at the hospital wing with the Headmaster and Madam Pomfrey standing over her. She sat up quickly and blinked a few times, trying to get her eyes to adjust to the bright lighting.

"It's a pleasure to have you back with us Miss Weasley; you gave us quite a scare!" Dumbledore said with that twinkle back in his eyes.

"Wha-what happened?" Asked a bewildered Ginny.

"Well, we aren't entirely sure, we still don't know what happened with that crystal ball and well, we figured you fainted because of the strangeness of it all. Unfortunately, we can find no reason as to why the crystal acted the way it did and seeing as how we know nothing about it, we can do nothing to solve it. So since it's dinner time and you haven't eaten since this morning, we believe you should go down to have your dinner in the great hall with the rest of the students." He said with a smile.

"Albus, I wont let her leave without having some chocolate!" Yelled a disgruntled Madam Pomfrey, while she then proceeded to shove a chunk of chocolate down Ginny's throat, causing her to practically choke, which cause Dumbledore to suppress a laugh. Then Madam Pomfrey went and busied her self with the cleaning of beds, and Professor Dumbledore led Ginny out of the hospital wing, all the way down to the Great hall.

They walked in almost unnoticed, until Ginny took her seat and the whole Gryffindor table turned to look at her. Then suddenly the voice of Colin Creevy shouted.

"Didn't your mothers tell you starring is rude!" then every one turned away slightly embarrassed. "Yeah! That's what I thought!" Then he came and plopped right down beside Ginny. "Hey Gin, What's up? I heard you scared the hell out of the people in your divinations class." He said with a little laugh.

Colin had been Ginny's best and only true friend, other than her brothers, since her first year. They had always shared the same interests, during their first year, it was Harry, but they both out grew that long ago. Colin was always a short little skinny boy, but over the years he had a growth spurt, and took up running, which filled out his body to a lean and muscular build. For his fourteenth birthday, his parents finally bought him contact lenses, which show his bright blue eyes far clearer. He let his hair grow out into a sort of shag, but since his hair is perfectly straight, it just sort of flops about his face, in a highly attractive way. Over the years of being made fun of and picked on, Ginny finally showed him to stick up for himself, ever since then people have now actually become intimidated by him, and now it seems, that almost every girl in the school swoons over him. Even through all his changes, Ginny is still his number one concern. Those two have become inseparable and will be there through all the rough patches, they always have a shoulder to cry on, whether it's from relationship troubles or deaths, they are always there.

"Oh God Colin, I don't know what happened! You know crystal gazing? Well when I touched the crystal ball, it turned black! Didn't we do a lesson on how crystal ball can not change colour? No matter what! Then I tried it again! Same thing! So then Trelawney took me to Dumbledore, and I had to do it again! Same damn thing! And then I fainted! They don't know why I fainted, so they just let me leave! God, if I didn't have you hear, I would be in the kitchens drowning myself in ice cream!" She finished with a little smile.

"I'm not sure about what happened Gin, but I'm sure a little drowning wouldn't be such a bad thing right now." He said with a grin. "Let's get some ice cream and got eat by the lake. We can get some bread too, to feed to the squid!"

"Did you know that I love you?" Ginny said while laughing. They both got up and went down to the kitchen to get their ice cream and bread and then they went to the lake to have their snack.

They finally found a perfect spot by the edge of the lake, right against a tree, where they could lazily throw pieces of bread to the giant squid and finish of the ice cream. They conjured up blankets and lay against the tree, with Ginny's head on Colin's lap, she would have fallen asleep if someone hadn't came stopping over in a fit.

"VIRGINIA!" Yelled a red faced Ron. "MOVE YOUR HEAD FROM THERE RIGHT AWAY! THAT IS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU ALL DAY. SOME SIXTH YEAR SAID THAT YOU HAD BEEN TAKEN TO PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE! WELL ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN?" Ginny looked to see behind him and saw that Harry and Hermione would standing there, trying as hard as they could to bite back their laughter and finally they snapped and they were practically on the ground laughing. This caused Colin to burst into fits of laughter, and then finally Ginny couldn't take it any longer and burst into a peal of laughter along with the other three. Ron's face went an even deeper shade of red as he walked away mumbling such words under his breath as "inappropriate", "lack of respect", "betrayers"...and so on...

Once he was finally in the castle, their laughter had finally stopped.

"Oh Gods, that was funny, I think we got him a little upset though." Hermione said with a lingering smile on her face.

"Oh well, that great oaf needs to learn to calm down and be my big brother, not my mother." Ginny said.

"Well you both have the Weasley temper in you, he just doesn't have much control, ah well. I guess we better get back and try to apologies he should be calm soon." Harry said while wiping the tears out of his eyes from laughing so hard.

"Yeah, we'll be up soon, we're just going to return these dished to the kitchen. See you up there." Colin said. Then the two were left alone to clean their stuff up and walked in a comfortable silence all the way to the kitchen. Then thanked the elves and headed up towards the common room, then separated with a quick goodnight and they headed off to their own dorms.

Tonight Ginny couldn't even get a wink of sleep, she had been unconscious most of the day, and wasn't the least bit tired anymore. So she got changed, grabbed her wand and headed outside.

The cold air bit ate her face, but she didn't mind, she was used to it in a matter of seconds. She thought that she would have a little walk around the edge of the forest, seeing as how she was not aloud in it. She wanted to feel reminded of home. She walked around the edge for a good period of time, until she looked back towards the castle, which was now farther off in the background than she thought it would be. She stood there mesmerized by it, until she heard a quiet slithering sound. She figured it was a small snake, so she didn't bother to look away from the castle. Then suddenly something tied around her ankle, and she was being pulled off the ground and into the forest and immense speed. The trees were blurred as they passed and her screams were carried away before she even tried, she was being whip lashed by small branches and leaves. Then before she knew it, she was dropped on the ground and with the speed of her landing; she bounced and rolled a few extra yards.

By the looks of it, she was deep in the forest, but she was in a small clearing. She looked around for a few moments until she heard the sound of something being dragged through the trees, just as she was. Only this time, she could hear the screams of someone coming closer. Then all of a sudden a body was thrown into the clearing, much the same way as she had, and rolled and bounced in the same manner as her. As she looked where the person came through, she saw a thick vine, slowly creeping away into the darkness.

She looked back at the new person, and then she noticed that they hadn't gotten up, or moved at all. She cautiously walked over to see if they were all right, but when she was a mere step away she heard them speak.

"Holy Mother of Fuck!" He yelled. Ginny jumped back in alarm and tripped over the hem of her robe. The young man on the ground turned over and when he saw Ginny, he gave a small yell and also jumped back, then doubled over in pain and gave out a moan of pain. Then she heard the silent slither again, and looked behind her. Vines of all shapes and sizes were knitting together to for a wall, she snapped her head to the other side and saw that the vines were closing them into a small circular area wit ha circumference of about five meters across. Ginny's face, by now, was covered in dirt and tears falling nonstop from her eyes she started to try to run out of the area, but every time she would try, the vines would push her back in. She then fell down and screamed. The walls were now about thirty feet high and she screamed louder. The out of nowhere, a hand covered her mouth and held her around the stomach to prevent her from moving. She almost fainted in fright when it whispered to her.

"Shh, you are going to have to be quiet. We don't want to alert then entire forest that there is a lost girl who is vulnerable now do we?" Said the voice of the person whom she had never wanted to be near, let alone in the middle of the Forbidden Forest, trapped in some type of enclosure. Draco Malfoy.

Ginny began to cry harder, but stopped squirming and screaming. She was let go and she scooted into a corner, trying to find her wand. She sat there fumbling around for a minute before she heard him speak again.

"They have your wand." The he was silent again. Then very suddenly the light, or dime glow they had from the moon, was gone, and when they looked up, they saw the vines closing in the top of the enclosure until there was not a ray of light to be seen. It was complete blackness. Ginny was more afraid now to be alone in this place than to be with a Malfoy, so she was merely acting upon impulse now.

"M-Malf-foy? She asked while breathing raggedly.

"What?" He said in a dry whisper. What scared Ginny more than anything right now was that she could feel the fear radiating off of him. If this were any different situation, she would have thought his fear comical, but she did not dwell on it.

"W-where are y-you?" She asked, trying to quiet her voice.

"H-here Weasley." He said. Trying to keep the scorn in is voice, but instead letting his fear get through. Ginny went to the sound of his voice and when she practically ran into him, she latched onto his arm. She could feel him shaking and she knew that she was probably shaking more. They both sort of slid down the wall onto the ground and Ginny practically unconscious because of the cold and fear. She could feel Draco's coat, and could tell that he was at least somewhat warm. Then he did something she did not expect. He took his coat off and put it around her shoulders, then put his arm around her.

"Both of us will die if we can't keep warm." He said in a quiet dry voice was almost unintelligible.

Then before they both fell into the real of unconsciousness, the vine began to move and an archway was created, filling the area with dim, morning light, they could see each others' faces clearly for the first time, both had many small scratches and were covered with dirt and tears, both had swollen red, bloodshot eyes, and both had running noses and their skin was almost blue, they were sitting huddled together in a ball, trying to keep whatever heat they had. They both looked up to see the beautiful creatures that came into the small enclosure. Half horse, half man. Centaurs.

Draco and Ginny were too weak to even think about resisting these magnificent beasts, so they were each carried by a different one into a clearing that appeared to be full of sunlight and warmth, when the entered it, they were welcomed by the warmth, that was indeed real.

They were placed on the ground where vines appeared out of the ground and raised them up onto natural chairs. Their bodies now seemed to be healing; they could even feel the small cuts on their faces sew back together and their skin becoming lifelike. Then a voice of wisdom and power spoke from every where; the trees, the leaves, the ground, the vines, the sky, the creatures all around... Then a woman, but was it really a woman? Her flesh seemed to shine like the scaled of snakes, her nails seemed to point like the claws of felines, Her eyes seemed to watch like those of eagles, her hair flowed down her back like a cascade of water and her movements were like that of the mysterious vines that had held them captive. Then she said to them.

"Welcome my children."
