Dedicated to: Lowi. thanks for the review :) i really appreciated it.


Ginny awoke Monday morning to Astoria jumping on her bed. Ginny groaned and tried to put her pillow over her head, but Astoria grabbed it off her and threw it across the room hitting some poor girl trying to sleep despite the noise.

"Get up Ginny!" She screamed in her ear.

"Don't shout, Tori. I can hear you." Ginny mumbled. Other girls in the room shouted for Tori to be quiet so they could sleep, since it was five in the morning and they didn't need to get until about six or six thirty.

"Well, then get up! Draco says it's time for practice." Tori hissed at Ginny as she beginning to walk off towards the bathroom.

"Wait!" Ginny said sitting up glaring at Tori incredulously. "How do YOU know that?"

Tori winked at her wickedly and said. "I just came from his room." She quickly darted into the bathroom as pillows came flying at her and before Ginny could say anything else. Ginny groaned, but got out bed and tripped over something in the process. She moaned in pain as she hit the marble floor and looked behind her at the thing she had just fallen over. She had tripped over a box was not there when she went to bed last night. She inspected it carefully from all sides. Finally, she decided it probably wasn't going to explode and opened it. Inside was a necklace with a gold locket in the shape of a heart and had emeralds creating a G and B on it. She gasped audibly at it and just stared. After some time, she opened it slowly and was slightly disappointed that it was empty. However, she quickly closed it and put it around her neck. A few moments later, she was out the door and running down the hallway to the pitch knowing that Blaise would already be there.

By the time she reached the pitch, everyone was already on their brooms doing some warm up laps. She sneaked around the pitch and joined Blaise mid-lap to avoid extra if Draco saw her coming late. Blaise saw the locket around her neck and gave an inquisitive look but said nothing. He knew Draco would kill him, if he was caught talking to Ginny during practice.

The beginning of practice was mostly uneventful besides a few novice players crashing in a pole or two and a couple of them puking their guts out, which Draco found thoroughly amusing. However, about halfway through practice, Blaise noticed that Ginny wasn't flying very well. In fact, she wasn't flying at all. She was simply hovering in one spot staring off at the bleachers at Blaise's left. Blaise looked and found Draco yelling at the ball boy who was cowering beneath him like a frightened animal. Blaise looked back at where Ginny used to be, but she wasn't there. He began frantically trying to find her. To his relief, she had only moved about ten feet higher in the sky, which made her just out his direct line of sight. He looked up at her and she smiled hazily back at him. He was about to go back to practicing when something caught his eye. It was a bludger. He watched in silent horror as the bludger slammed into Ginny and ripped her off her broom. His mind and body seemed to fail him. He couldn't move or think. He finally came to his senses when he heard her scream of pain and saw her begin to plummet to the ground below. He took off on his broom; he didn't think that he wasn't going to be able to reach her in time. He was too far away and she was falling too fast. So, he did the craziest thing he had ever done in his life. He stood up on his broom and launched himself below Ginny in a last attempt to stop her fall.

He felt her limp body crash into his arms as they hit the ground hard. He managed to get out from under her and immediately tried to find a pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief as he found a light but steady pulse. He looked up to see a crowd of people beginning to cluster around him curiously. He searched the faces for Draco and soon found him.

"Draco!" Blaise yelled. "Get everyone to back up!"

Draco nodded and began shouting at the students "Everyone back up! Or you're going to have one hundred laps around the school every day this week!"

Everyone quickly backed up while Draco stepped closer to Blaise and knelt next to him worriedly. "What else can I do?"

"Run to the hospital wing and tell Madam Pomfrey I'm coming Ginny. Also, tell her what happened. Then come back here and torture whoever hit that bludger until he dies." Blaise said through clenched teeth as he stroked Ginny hair gently.

Draco nodded and took off running towards the castle. Blaise picked Ginny up as carefully as possible and began to walk as quickly as he could to the hospital wing. When he was about halfway there Draco ran past him again towards the pitch. He stopped briefly to speak to Blaise.

"Madam Pomfrey is waiting for you. I'm going to go murder who ever did this to her."

Blaise nodded silently and continued on his way. He felt as if his arms were on fire and about to fall off when he finally reached the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey was at the door waiting with Snape.

"Did you see who sent the bludger?" Snape asked as Blaise laid Ginny on a bed.

He answered without taking his eyes off of her. "No, I didn't."

Madam Pomfrey was checking for broken bones as Snape pulled Blaise a few feet away to speak in more hushed tones.

"Do you know who would want to hurt her?"

Blaise shook his head sadly. "The only people are her family, sir."

"What do you mean?" Snape asked surprised.

"They all sent her threatening howlers and her siblings here also made it clear that they did not consider her family when she switched houses and announced our relationship. I'm worried that Potter and Weasley would try anything to get her back in their house. Maybe even blame a Slytherin for this."

"I see. Did you see Potter or Weasley at the pitch this morning?"

"No, but Ginny kept looking at some of the bleachers during practice but I never saw anyone. I wonder if she did."

Blaise glanced back at Ginny who had moved slightly. He immediately rushed to her side. She began to mutter things incomprehensible, but Blaise soon caught one word that she kept repeating. It was "Harry."
