Ginny wasn’t going to tell him how scared she was – not at all. He didn’t like her that way – obviously, if he had he wouldn’t have had let her come along to save Sirius tonight. Still, she loved him, Hermione knew that; heck, she was starting to suspect that Ron thought she might have feelings for him as well.

When the room spun around them and they ended up in different confusing places she felt like this would be the end; that the circular hall would be were she would die. But she would die fighting – fighting not only for herself but also for all wizarding kind. Fighting to see another day – fighting to have Harry Potter realize she was there. She was beautiful, and she was the girl of his dreams.

She made a note to herself to remember the spell Hermione had used – since; it was probably going to be a lifesaver at one point. Maybe tonight because each door that they had entered was now marked with a fiery red X mark.

So now the only door without one was the exit and that seemed to be where they were headed after Sirius’s demise and Voldemort’s arrival.
