Chapter 22

Lavender shut and locked the door behind them and started yelling for someone to come help. Hermione took off her cloak and put it under Ginny's head as Pansy covered her with her own cloak. Draco, Blaise, Harry, and Ron ran out of the library towards the girl.

"What's wrong?" Draco exclaimed coming to a dead stop beside Hermione as he saw Ginny laying lifeless on the floor.Pansy moved out of the way so that everyone could see Ginny. Harry and Ron saw her and started sprinting towards them. Hermione moved towards Draco's side and Harry and Ron sat on either side of Ginny.

"Where is everyone?" Hermione asked softly.

"In the meeting room." Draco said shortly before grabbing Hermione's hand and running towards the meeting room as fast as they possibly could. They pushed the doors open and ran inside, all the heads in the room turning their way.

"What in the world." Lucius exclaimed standing up.

"It's Gin..." She didn't get to finish the sentence before all the Weasly's got up and raced out of the room into the atrium.

"What happened?" Dumbledore asked Hermione calmly.

"We were riding in the forest when we saw lights coming towards us, but before we could get out Ginny go hit with a curse then we raced straight towards the manor." Hermione finished as Draco put his arm protectively around her.

"Did you see anyone?" Snape asked.

"No." Hermione stated softly as they swept past her.

"You, should of brought us with you." Lucius scolded.

"We just wanted to get away and talk." Hermione whispered.

"Well that's the stupidest excuse I've ever heard." Hermione's father exclaimed walking past her and Draco. Hermione buried her head in Draco's chest and he wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed her lightly on the head.

They stood there for about a half hour like that before Tonks came in.

"They transported Ginny to St. Mungo's, she's alive, but barely." Tonks told them before turning and walking back out of the room.

"She's ok." Draco said trying to comfort his soon to be wife.

"Ya, barely." Hermione said regret in her voice.

"It's not your fault."

"Yea it is, it was my stupid idea." She said looking up at him angrily.

"Ya, but you had no clue that this would happen." He commented as he moved and stray curl out of her face.

"I should've known." She cried burying her head in his chest as he wrapped his arms around her.

"It's ok honey." Draco said as he put his finger under her chin lifting her head up to look at him.

"But.." She tried to get it out but he silenced her by putting his finger up to her mouth.

"Let's go upstairs and get some rest honey." Draco said kissing her on the forehead before putting his arm around her waist before leading her to the elevator, so they could go up to their room and rest in peace.

A couple hours later Hermione and Draco were fast asleep in their room. Someone lightly knocked on their door and Draco got up quietly, so as not to wake up Hermione. Lucius was standing at the door when Draco opened it.

"They attack in the morning." He said simply before walking away leaving Draco standing there in shock.
