I have never felt so scared in my entire life.

Not even in the Chamber, not at any time that year. I feel someone pull me down.

Harry smiles at me. Well he tries to. As much as a guy, whose best friend is on the brink, can.

I wish I was exaggerating.

I really do.

But Madam Pomfrey hasn't said a thing, and that's never good.

In fact when she saw Katie and Ron, she paled.

I shiver and Harry pulls me into a half-hug.

I hang my head and pray quietly hoping someone will help them.

Just as well, Mum and Dad come bustling down the corridor. They sprint past us without a word.

I stand up to go the door but it's slammed in my face. I raise my fist to hit it but a voice stops me.

'Don't even think about it, Ms. Weasley.'

I pull back from the door, stumbling slightly.

I blink back tears that sting my eyes.

I hear a sniffle from behind me. Hermione is blinking furiously and biting her lip, determined not to cry. Harry is looking at her awkwardly, his lips and eyebrows scrunched in both sympathy and confusion. I walk over and hug Hermione tightly.

'It'll be okay.'

She shakes her head into my shoulder.

I pull her up and look her in the eyes. 'Trust me.' She looks away; I know what she's thinking.

She's thinking that if Ron, dies, that she left things at the worst possible standing between them.

She never told him how she felt.

How she wished things were. I turn her head towards me again.

'You will get the chance to tell him. Ron is a fighter.'

'Ain't that the truth.' We turn to see Fred and George coming up the corridor, just as Mum and Dad burst out of the Wing.

'Mum?'

'Later, Ginny.'

I watch as they hurry down the corridor. Harry frowns and Hermione turns wiping her eyes on her sleeve.

'Hey, don't worry about Hermione. Ron is the toughest of the tough Weasleys. Stubborn as a mule that one,'

'Beats Ginny, even. The amount of times,'

'That he has out stubborned us,'

'Is, astounding.' Fred and George finish in unison. Hermione sits down and stares blankly at the wall.

Harry gets up and explains to the twins what happened. I sit next to Hermione and wait.

This is killing me.

Please.

Save my brother.

Please.

------------------------------------------------

Note to self. Tripping onto your brothers' bed, when he was extremely close to death,

Not such a fantastic idea.

And the way Madam Pomfrey reacted; you'd think that, she believed I did, ON PURPOSE!!!

Sure from time to time, I have murderous thoughts, regarding, my darling brother.

But it's not like I'd ever act on those impulses.

I wouldn't!!!!!

Oh come on!!!

Why would you think that of me????

That is so unfair.

I would stop talking to you, but you are me.

So that would be a tad hard.

Just a tad.

'Her-my-knee' Ron croaks from between us. Harry grasps my hand from below the bed, where Fred and George can't see.

We look at him expectantly but all he does it mutter incoherently once more and start snoring. I weave my fingers through his as everyone heaves a sigh of relief.

Good old Ron.

You can always count on him to say something glaringly obvious (Hermione??? Eh??? Eh??), then start snoring.

Madam Pomfrey shoes us out of the Wing.

'Who knew quidditch could hurt so much.' George muses and we stare at him

Harry smacks his head Hermione giggles faintly and I shake my head.

'Riiiiiiiiiight. So, anyone for food?' Fred asks also shaking his head.

'Yeah, I feel like I haven't eaten in forever.' I think Ron is being echoed right about now.

'What? I didn't have much of breakfast!!!! It was an early practice!'

'Well congrats Harry, you've succeeded into turning into your best mate.' I slap him on the back shaking my head. Harry glares at me, I swallow, looking down.

'Here we are!!!!!'

Hermione stalks off in one direction, nose high in the air but I know she just needs to be alone right about now.

I tickle the pear.

I KNOW!!! Doesn't it sound so entirely wrong?

'Tickled me pear!' I turn and look at Fred who is grinning, only the way he can at that statement.

I close my eyes, trying to suppress all thoughts that can spring from that.

I fail.

Miserably.

Harry can tickle my pear anytime!!!

MY MERLIN!!! I'm nuts.

I smack the side of my head to banish these thoughts. One of the House Elves comes running up to me.

'Ammm, can I have a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows please?' I ask politely. Fred and George are just ransacking the whole place and Harry is talking to Dobby, and trying to avoid Kreacher by the looks of it.

Woah... wait one minute.

Kreacher?

'What the hell is he doing here??' I ask looking at Kreacher with a disgusted look on my face.

'Oh yeah, him. Dumbledore asked me to order him to work here. Kreacher I order you to stop insulting her! Sorry.' Harry blinks fluffing his hair up at the back frowning slightly.

That is so adorable.

I could just go over there and...

GINNY!!!!!!

Fred and George are in the room. Stop.

Before you do something, incredibly stupid which could get your boyfriend dismembered.

Or worse.

Yes. There are worse options than that.

They are my older brothers who happen to own a highly successful joke shop.

So... you know what I'm getting at.

'Thank you.' I take a sip of my hot chocolate, closing my eyes in the sheer bliss of it.

'So when do you think we'll have little red heads running about?' Fred asks raising his eyebrows.

To which I promptly choke.

'Oh Godric!!!! My throat!!!!' Hot chocolate which had been sailing down towards my stomach instead burns my lungs.

EPPPP!!!!

'Are you okay Gin-Bob?'

'Yeah George, my throat is just blistering and it hurts like hell. So I'm jim-dandy. How bout you?' I splutter, sarcastically.

Well what did you expect??

Harry gives me a glass of water; I gulp at it relishing the coolness of it.

'I guess we better get back to the Common Room. Hermione won't cover for us for very long.' Harry suggests.

'Yeah, I need some sleep it's been some day. My knees are still shaking.' I mutter, closing my eyes, the exhaustion from the day is setting in and I feel so drained.

Fred and George nod their assent. They can't actually say anything as their gobs are so full of food.

And to think, they mock Ron about this stuff, they are ten times worse (Okay I mock him too, but I'm allowed. I'm the special exception.).

We enter the Common Room, too tired to stop for some late night activities.

Such a damn pity, but since I'd probably start snoring it wouldn't be so attractive.

'Potter!!!'

HOLY SHIT!!!!! I thought the Common Room was empty. I stumble over a footstool and land flat on my ass in front of the fire.

I'm not going to eve bother trying to move.

Oh it's McLaggen.

Wonder what he wants.

Are those lions moving on the ceiling?

Could it be something about Ron?

I didn't know we had lions on the ceiling.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Ahh the thoughts of a sleep deprived me. Fun, entertains and yet of so mind boggling.

Boggling... what a funny word...

'Gin?'

'Yeah, Harry?' Then Harry is look over me, the fire is dancing in his eyes. As is amusement.

'Come on let's get you to bed.' He leans down and picks me up.

I mummer sleepily in his arms. 'You can't get me upstairs. Boys aren't allowed.'

Harry frowns down at me, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes as he still is amused by my sleep deprived behaviour.

'Let's see what I can do about that... Do you think you could possibly get up the stairs yourself?'

'Nuh uh... Too tired.' Harry thinks and then places me gently down on one of the couches.

'Hmm. Right. Stay there.' Harry jogs up the stairs.

Hmmmm... nice view.

Thank Merlin he's my boyfriend or else I would be killing whatever girl he was going out with come the morrow.

Or anyone lusting after him

Though judging by the number of girls trying to kill me...

That could take a while.

Hmmmmmm sleepy sleepy.

'Hey, come on. At least try, to act semi conscious for me Gin.'

'Harry, I adore you and all, but leave me the fuck alone. I'm trying to sleep.' Harry mutters something I don't quite catch, and then he throws a blanket over me and takes off my shoes.

'If you refuse to go upstairs, I might as well try my best to make you comfortable.' He tells me.

'You don't know how comfortable you could make me.' I whisper, eyes drooping.

'WH-what?????' Is the last thing I hear before I drift off into sweet sleep.

----------------------------------------------

'GINNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

'HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' I scream jumping up and then landing on something else.

Warm, yet hard.

'Harry! Sorry!' I exclaim jumping back off him and stumbling into the couch.

'In future, if you have to wake me up could you do it in a less painful way? A nice way perhaps? I mumble getting up wincing slightly. I turn my head and Becks comes running at me full speed. She grapples me in a hug that would rival Mums, if not beat it and continues to screech. I wobble of the chair slightly before crashing backwards. Harry scouts out of the way as Becks and I come crashing to the floor.

Becks gets up and starts babbling, I lie stunned on the ground.

Do you take the Gryffindor floor as your lawfully wedded floor?

Ummmmmm...

'Gin, you can't stay there!' Harry hauls me up, I stumble (big surprise there) and I place a hand on his chest and stay there for a few moments.

The next half hour is Harry telling the others what happened exactly. Seamus and Neville come and listen in, both shocked and horrified.

'Will he be okay?' Neville asks cautiously.

I nod. 'Yeah it's Ron after all. He's survived the twins, Hermione when she's pissed, being friends with Harry. I think he can manage this.'

Colin, Seamus, Neville and Harry chuckle at my words. Becks stares at me, her eyes wide and worried. Her eyes seem almost blue instead of their usual silver glow of grey.

'Its okay Becks trust me!' I tell her. She plunges at me. Gripping me in a bear hug once more.

'Can't. Breath!!!!!' I squeeze out. She lets go and plonks herself in my lap. She wraps her arms round my neck.

'But you love me right. Even if I try to strangle you from time to time?'

'Sure, I'm too tired to argue anyway.'

'Hey you were fast asleep all night. How in the heck could you possibly be tired?' Harry asks confusedly.

Becks looks at me also confused.

'We slept here Becks. Don't go thinking anything.'

'Like what?' She questions, putting on her best innocent face but I see past her little facade. I see the little pervy glint beyond the fake sweetness.

'I was on the couch and Harry was on the floor kay?' I tell her exasperated with her. Colin is smirking and Seamus and Neville look confused (who isn't these days? Being a teenager at Hogwarts is the most confusing and baffling thing EVER!) Harry is leaning back in the couch pinching the bridge of his nose with his glasses in one hand.

This is going to be one long day.

Also Becks has the boniest ass known to mankind.

'Becks could you get off? I think you are leaving dents in my legs.'

'But I don't want to.'

'I want you to.'

'I don't wanna!!!' Great she is whinging. And a whinging Becks is the most annoying thing.

No seriously.

IT IS!!!!!!!

I never win. Ever.

Mostly because Colin backs her up.

Traitorous friends.

I growl at him.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

But I do love both of them dearly.

Even if they drive me half way up the wall.

Like Ron!

I hope he's okay.

Who am I kidding????

Of course he will be!!!!!

'Please Becks?' I beg turning my big puppy dog eyes on her. No one but Ron has been able to master this fine art in our family.

Yeah Ron! How else do you think Hermione helps him with the homework so much?

She huffs and gets up and glares at me.

'So what you're saying is that I'm too FAT!'

Talk about over-reaction.

'No Becks. Quite the opposite in fact. You are too skinny.' But Becks sniffs anyway.

'I know your screwing with me, Black. You can't fool me.'

'Grrrrrrrrr!!!!' She glares growling at me. She gets up and sits gently on Colin. He looks pleased.

'Don't growl at me woman!' I say wagging a finger at her.

'Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!'

'Well then Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr back at you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

'Honestly, you two can be so childish!!!' A voice comes from behind my head.

'Hermione!!!!!' We exclaim. Harry and I scramble up and pull her into a hug.

'You okay????' I ask looking at her, daring her to lie.

'I'm fine! I was just up at the Hospital Wing. Both Ron and Katie are going to be fine!'

'YES!!!!!' Everyone yells jumping and hugging each other.

I frown slightly thinking.

'But they aren't going to be back for the quidditch matches right so that means...'

'McLaggen and Dean are going the team for the match.' Harry finishes. I groan and Hermione giggles. I roll my eyes at her and we see Lavender and Parvarti walking past. We stop talking for a minute and listen in.

'I can't believe it!!!!!!!!' Lavender says, not too quietly.

'It'll be okay!!!! Ron will be fine and he will totally ask you out, trust me.' I can't help myself I snort.

I clap a hand over my mouth but I can't contain my laughter. Both girls glare at me, but I keep laughing.

'And what is so funny Weasley?' Lavender asks in a snide tone.

'You- you actually think... you are actually blonde enough to believe.' I double over in laughter.

'Blonde enough to think what exactly?'

'That my brother likes you!!! Oh this is just what I needed!!!!!!'

'So what? He likes Hermione??'

'Well...' Hermione gasps from beside Harry. Next thing I know I'm being blasted backwards.

'HEY!!!!!!!' I yell at her and go take my wand out but Hermione beats me to it.

'Never go near my friends again.' She hisses pinning Lavender to the wall. Parvarti looks quite ashamed of her friend.

'Or what Granger?'

'You don't want to know. I'm not the best witch here for nothing you know.' She whispers dangerously.

'And since I'm already pissed off, you really don't want to set my temper off.' She finishes letting go of Lavender and walking over to me and pulling me up. Lavender sniffs and storms off out of the room.

Parvarti hesitates. 'Look, I'm sorry about her. She is completely out of her mind about this. Sorry again.'

Hermione shakes her head. 'You don't control her; it's not your fault if she is blind to the fact that Ron doesn't like her.'

Parvarti smiles warmly. 'Thanks Hermione. I hope you're okay Ginny.'

'I've had worse.' I brush off my skirt. She smiles and then heads upstairs.

I sit down on Harry lap and smile at him. He wraps his arm round my waist and places his head on my shoulder.

'Way to go, Hermione!' Becks squeals. Hermione looks slightly bashful and mumbles something.

--------------------------------------------------------

I hate Dean Thomas. I really do.

I also hate Harry.

Well no I don't.

I'm just slightly disgruntled at his choices for the quidditch replacements.

Shudder.

Well I'll admit that Dean is completely useless... But McLaggen?

I get the feeling that he is just an ego with legs attached.

Thinks he can play any position better then we can.

Arse.

I feel like chucking the quaffle at his head. But Dean decides to do that to me.

To me.

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!' I yell. My head is still a little sore from the whack against the wall Lavender instigated.

'GIT!!!' I yell at Dean chucking the quaffle as hard as I can through the goalposts.

McLaggen curses at me I think. I wasn't really listening so I'm not quite sure.

'BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!' Dean screams back. Harry is watching from below, frowning.

'IF YOU TWO DON'T STOP I WILL MAKE YOU RUN 50 LAPS OF THE LAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' He yells up at us.

'Looks like your boyfriend has temper issues you whore.' Dean whispers as he flies past me.

I lose it.

It could be Ron, it could be everything that has been flying about me these past few weeks, or it could just be hormones, who the fuck knows.

I tackle the bastard.

'GINNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

We are coming towards the ground fast!

Much too fast!!!!

Why CAN'T I EVER control my temper?????
