Prologue!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, we know this. Why must we always throw that fact back in my face?
Ginny was oblivious to the world around her. Right now she was focused on the many papers littering her desk. If she could just get through all of them before she left then she wouldn't have to come in over the weekend. Of course that would leave her without anything to do over the weekend. It was a sad thing that her entire life revolved around her work.
At the age of 25 she was still single, much to her mother's dismay, and quite a power house when it came to her work. She would wake up every day, go to the coffee house that was around the corner from her flat. After ordering her usual Carmel latte she would then apparate to her office in London. From there she would begin her days work.
Not that she had a boring job, it was actually a job most people would kill for. She was a present day, magical Nancy Drew. Of course she was corporate Nancy Drew. She owned the company, with many employees who did the actual dirty work. It was a surprising role that Ginny played. Who would have thought that she would end up owning one of the biggest detective agencies in the wizard world?
Of course, Ginny was a smart business world. She didn't just keep her business in the wizard world. She had five agencies around Europe that catered to muggles and only muggles. That was one of the reasons she had so much paper work. She had to constantly fill out forms to appease the Ministry of Magic and keep them from worrying about muggles finding out about magic.
Ginny wasn't just the owner of the business. She built her business from the ground up. When she first started it was just her and Colin. She missed being able to follow people and spy on them. But, it was what she had to give up to be rich, and powerful. That was the point to owning your own business, right?
Ginny was just about to finish for the night when there was a knock on her door. Assuming it was one of her receptionist, Vanessa, to say good night, she yelled for the person to enter. After a few seconds of silence she looked up and gasped.
"What are you doing here?" she demanded narrowing her eyes.
"I need someone to spy on someone for me."
"What, you don't already have someone to do that for you?"
"That's why I am here to hire you." Draco replied cooly as he sat down in the chair in front of her desk.
"All my employees are currently busy with cases." Ginny told him as she picked up a stack of papers to straighten them. "You'll have to find someone else."
"I didn't want one of your cast off employees." Draco replied. "I wanted you to do the job."
"I don't have time."
"But you're the best."
"I know, but I still don't have time." Ginny told him as she continued to straighten up her desk.
"I'll pay you whatever you want."
"Can you pay me in time?" Ginny asked sarcastically. "Because if you want me to take on this case, that's what I need."
"I can pay you whatever you want and then some so that you can hire someone to do whatever you do." Draco told her.
"How much longer do I keep saying no before you start to full on beg?" Ginny asked. "Because I know you don't beg, it would be nice to see."
"I won't beg, you know that." Draco replied. "So, what do you say?"
Ginny thought for a minute, "10,000 galleons a day and then an extra 50 to pay for a temp."
"Deal."
"Who am I trailing for you?" Ginny asked rolling her eyes.
"Cameron Jewel." Draco replied as he started to pop his knuckles.
"That's not good for your fingers, you know." Ginny told him.
"You've told me."
"Isn't Cameron Jewel your fiance?" Ginny asked as she started taking notes.
"Yes."
"Don't you think it is a little shady that you want me to follow your fiance?"
"Don't you think that it's a little wrong that I even feel the need to have someone follow my fiance?" Draco countered.
"So what do you want me to find out exactly?" Ginny asked.
"I just need to be reassured."
"Of?"
"Of the fact that she does really love me."
"Since when do you care?" Ginny asked, her voice turning cold.
"Since the first really good thing I ever had I lost." Draco replied. "And I hope not to lose the second good thing that I've ever had."
"And I'm the one who gets to make sure that she isn't going to break your heart like you have done to countless number of girls." Ginny replied looking down at her desk.
"Well, sometimes we do things we regret." Draco replied. "I don't want to regret her."
"Well, at least you have grown since I last saw you." Ginny replied getting up. "If that's all then I need to get home."
"So, about trailing her,"
"I'll get in touch with you." Ginny interrupted him. "If I find out something you should know, you will find out."
"Thank you."
"Wow, a thank you?" Ginny asked in mock surprise. "Who knew a Malfoy would ever thank anyone?"
"Why did you get in this line of work?" Draco asked as he got up.
"I'm surprised you don't already know." Ginny told him. She opened her door for him, "I'll send over a contract for you to sign tomorrow."
"Do you think that we can meet some where?" Draco asked. "I don't want Cameron to accidently find it."
"Sure." Ginny nodded. "Whatever, owl me as to a time and place and we will meet."
"Thank you, again." Draco told her.
