Fred and George had Draco dangling above the ground; holding him by his shirt collar before he could speak.

Draco sputtered for breath as Percy, Ron, and Harry held their wands up to him.

Draco suddenly held limp as Fred and George spoke in unison to him; "We know that you're paired up with Ginny for this stupid project; treat her right Malfoy or before you know it you'll be a pure white ferret once again."

And as Ron began to mutter an incantation Ginny had come running down the stairs yelling; "Draco, Draco! Are your parents gone now? Are you ready to go down to the…"

She looked at the scene before her and she yelled; "EXPELLIARMUS!" and three wands went flying through the air.

Running toward the group she yanked Draco out of her brothers grips; "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!?!" Fred and George stepped backward a few steps.

As Draco stood trying to calm him self he stepped forward towards Ginny.

Finally after a few moments of Ginny glaring; Percy took a deep breath and said; "Gin, how could you protect scum like Malfoy? We were just getting the message across to him."

Ginny looked angrier than ever as she yelled; "FIRST OF ALL I DON'T NEED YOUR PROTECTION! I'M FIFTEEN! SECOND! DRACO IS NOT A BAD PERSON! DON'T EVER THREATEN HIM AGAIN! AND LASTLY," her eyes had begun to fill with tears; "Good bye!" she took Draco by the arm and stormed out of the common room leaving the boys to wonder what just happened…

Once they were out in the corridor Draco stopped short and asked Ginny where they should go.

Ginny stopped and thought. Suddenly she rushed up two flights of stairs and stopped and walked past a plain wall three times saying in her head; I need a place to hide from my brothers and Harry, I need a place to hide from my brothers and Harry, I need a place to hide from my brothers and Harry.

Finally as Draco walked up beside her they heard about five boys grumbling coming up the stairs.

She ran in and pulled Draco with her. As they slammed the door behind them Ginny let out a gasp. There were comfortable chairs and couches everywhere, shelves of food and necessities, and large cabinets in which they could hide in.

As Draco reclined back in his chair Ginny pulled him to a large cabinet filled with blankets, she pushed some into another cabinet and jumped in; pulling Draco along with her she closed the doors as the room of requirement door banged open.

And again there stood the five boys. How could they keep finding her?

"Aaaa" Ron said lying down on a particularly soft couch; "mm we sure showed them huh?" Fred threw a pillow at him and George said; "No mate sorry but now all we've done is make her madder at us!"

Harry sat back as Ginny held her breath; he had the marauders map. Percy sat up and said; "boys, Ginny as our little sister and Harry's good friend she needs to be protected. I don't care if she thinks Malfoy's intentions are true we'll need to keep our eyes on her."

Each person mumbled agreement as Fred and George took out a large board with detailed plans all over it. "So" George began and then Fred said: "Now in the morning Ron and Harry will keep a watch on her. At lunch Perce you and I can watch out for her. Finally when dinner rolls around George and I got her."

Everyone nodded agreeing with them so George spoke up; saying: "And around the clock if you find them skulking off together just the two of them, FOLLOW THEM! For her own good we have to have our eyes open all the time." The group broke up and went one by one out the door.

Ginny flung the door open and jumped out while Draco scrambled out behind her.

"I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEM!" She yelled to no one in particular. "I WILL PROVE THEM I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!" Draco stood and put his arm around her as she said: "I won't let them find me, meals I can't help but any time else I'll evade them like a fox.

Draco smiled as he guided her out of the room; "Gin, I am right behind you!" and they raced down the stairs to the common room.

Late the next day; Ginny had been hiding and avoiding her brothers gaze all day; it was getting very exhausting.
