Chapter One

Ms Weasley

'Ms Weasley.' The blonde receptionist called out from her desk. 'Please go through to the Board room.'

Ginny stood up and pulled her short black skirt and picked up her black leather bag and made her way through to the Board room for her interview. This was her third interview this week; she was starting to get bored of interviews now.

She knocked on the door to the Board room and walked in when she heard a voice tell her to enter. She turned the door knob, plastered on her best interview smile and opened the door revealing herself to the interviewer.

'Good afternoon Ms Weasley, do come in and take a seat. As you can see Mr Malfoy, our director has joined us today I hope you don't mind.' Mr Jenkins said as he smiled at Ginny.

'No of course not.' Ginny said trying not to show her annoyance at Lucius Malfoy being in her interview.

'Good, right let's start then shall we.' Mr Jenkins said as he picked up Ginny's CV. 'I can see you have quite a bit of experience in personnel. Tell me what you've done Ms Weasley?'

'I helped to keep my brother's successful joke shop afloat. I did all the finance and paperwork, I still do some now. I also worked in the Aurors office for sometimes helping with their filing and paperwork.' She replied to the question.

'So Ms Weasley, you are very well equipped to do what we need then.' Mr Jenkins said smiling. 'Would you say you are hard working and good at time management?'

'I would say I am very good a time management, I am often in the office well before others and don't mind working from home if needs must.' She said smiling hoping this would impress Mr Jenkins and Mr Malfoy.

'If you don't mind me jumping in Jenkins, I'd like to ask Ms Weasley a question.' Lucius Malfoy said as he looked straight at Ginny.

'Of course not Mr Malfoy.' He said as he took off his glasses.

'Ms Weasley, you worked in the Aurors office did you not?' Lucius asked.

'I did; only for a short while but I did.' She replied knowing where this was going.

'And why did you decided to leave if you were good at the job, I was under the impression that a personal assistant in the Aurors office was the best paid.' He said as he leaned back in his chair.

'Personal reasons Mr Malfoy.' Ginny said not going into detail. 'I'm sure you are aware of them and I do not wish to go into them. I am here purely for professional reasons.'

'Of course.' Lucius replied as he looked at Jenkins for him to continue.

The interview continued for another thirty minutes; Ginny was asked numerous questions by Mr Jenkins while Lucius Malfoy sat on and watched Ginny intently as she answered the questions.

After the interview, Ginny walked through Diagon Alley and went to meet Hermione, her sister in law and best friend in their favourite cafe 'Cupcakes and Coffee.'

'How did it go?' Hermione asked as Ginny sat down heavily on the chair beside her.

'Awful!' Ginny exclaimed as she looked at Hermione. 'Lucius Malfoy was in my interview.'

'What!' Hermione said as he looked at Ginny with wide eyes.

'Yes exactly.' Ginny replied as she magically ordered a coffee with a shot of whiskey.

'Did he say anything? You know about...?' Hermione asked.

'Nothing. Well he couldn't really say much about that because there was someone else in the room.' She replied. 'I doubt I'll get the job.'

'Something else will come up Gin.' Hermione said.

'I hope so Hermione. I don't want to move back home again, I like having my own independence in my little flat.' She said. 'I really need to get a job this month otherwise I'll have to move out.'

'Ron and I can always help you out Ginny.' Hermione said looking at her friend and sister in law.

'I don't want to though. I want to be able to support myself.' She said. 'I'm old enough now to be able to look after myself. I'm twenty six, I should be able to make my own money, rent a flat and be able to hold down a job.'

'And you will.' Hermione said. 'Look Ron and I only just moved out of your parent's too.'

'Yes but you and Ron were saving for a house, a mortgage.' She replied. 'I on the other hand can't keep down a job and I have to borrow money off my parents to keep my flat. George hasn't paid me in months and owes me money and oh Hermione I'm just so stressed.'

'How about tonight you come to ours and you and I can have a girl's night in. Ron's on late tonight so he won't be back till the early hours so we can have a good night in just us.' Hermione said.

'Okay.' Ginny said as she finished off her coffee. 'I'll be round after seven. I promised Mum I would pop home and see her and tell her about my interviews.'

'Okay. Well I have to get back to work. See you tonight around seven.' She said as she hugged Ginny and then rushed off to the Ministry.

Ginny left the cafe soon after Hermione did and made her way back to her small flat above a book store. She let herself in and chucked her bag and shoes down by the hallway table.

She made her way through the kitchen and living room and into her bedroom. She pulled off her black blazer and white shirt and lay down on her bed in only her purple lace bra and black skirt.

She needed a job and she needed one now. If she didn't have a job by the end of next week she would have to move back to the Burrow and she really didn't want to. Living with her mother again would be hard work. Molly had very different ideas for her daughter than Ginny. Molly wanted Ginny to take after her; get married, have children and be the perfect house witch but Ginny wanted more than that. Yes, she wanted to get married and have children someday but she wanted a career first.

Ginny had one day thought she would be married now and have at least one child but it didn't work out. Ginny once thought she would be Mrs Potter but that title now belonged to Luna. Ginny who had been in love with Harry for years found that they didn't work as well as she'd hope. Harry wanted a wife who waited on him hand and foot, a wife who would support his career by not working and thrust making Ginny and Harry's relationship end and not quietly either.

Ginny was working alongside Harry in the Aurors office and he thought by making her redundant it would make her want to stay at home and become his house witch however it just made Ginny furious and end her relationship with Harry.

Ginny got up off her bed and slipped off her skirt and went in search of her jeans. She found them at the bottom of her cupboard and pulled them on and then grabbed a white tank top, her black cardigan and her leopard print scarf. She slipped on her ballet flats and flooed to her mother's house.

'Ginny!' Molly said as she hugged her daughter. 'How did it go?'

'Alright.' She said softly. 'I'm hoping I get one of the three interviews.'

'Well if you don't it's not the end of the world Ginerva.' Molly said as she walked into the kitchen with Ginny following.

'I know it's not mum but I would like a job.' Ginny said as she sat down at the kitchen table.

'You don't need a job Ginny, you need a husband.' She said as she looked at her daughter.

'I'm twenty six I don't need a husband just yet.' She replied. 'Mum I'm happy as I am at the moment.'

'Okay Ginerva if that's what you say.' Molly said shaking her head.

Ginny stayed at the Burrow until seven o'clock and then excused herself and left for Hermione's. Ginny arrived just after seven to Hermione and Ron's house. It was a beautiful new build and hard three bedrooms, perfect for a small family which Ron and Hermione were trying for.

Hermione had made cupcakes and brownies for them and the two settled on the sofa watching a muggle movie.

'What would you do if you got the job and Malfoy was there?' Hermione asked.

'Just carry on as usual. Why should I tip toe around him?' she said as she sipped her white wine.

'Oh I don't know maybe because you slept with him last month.' Hermione said smirking.

'It was a one night stand, nothing more Hermione.' Ginny said as she picked up a cupcake.

'You slept with Lucius Malfoy and pretend like it was nothing!' Hermione said as she looked at her friend.

'It was just that; sex. We had sex and then we both left. We were both a little drunk.' She said as she bit into the cup cake. 'He was good though; actually the best I've ever had.'

'Ginny!' Hermione squealed.

'What? I was only telling the truth, he was.' She said smirking.

'So do you like him?' Hermione asked.

'I'd shag him again if that's what you're asking.' Ginny said smiling

By the end of the night, Ginny and Hermione had finished a bottle of wine between them and were very stuff with treats.

Ginny made her way home just after midnight to find an owl waiting at her bedroom window. She opened the window and took the letter from the owl and sat down on her bed and read it.
