Narcissa and Draco moved in with Sirus Black who shortly after is arrested. Narcissa raises Draco to be the perfect gentleman and he is sorted into Gryffindor. He befriends Ron and Hermione and takes Harry's part in the first year. The second year he finds himself falling hard and fast for the little Ginny Weasley. He is embarrassed when she sends him a valentine but returns the favor by sweeping her off her feet in front of her entire table. The attacks on the Mudbloods and others continue as Draco ponders Ginny's withdrawl and Voldermort's obsession last year with him, When Harry is supposed to kill him. Draco saves Ginny from the chamber and gets his father thrown in Azkaban. Meanwhile, Ginny invites Draco to stay the summer and love blossoms between the two. By the third year they are dating. Sirius comes to Hogwarts to help Dumbledore and between him and Draco, Pettigrew is caught when Ginny, A natural animagus, shifts into a Dragon to stop Lupin from transforming. Sirius is aquitted, but Pettigrew escapes before he can be locked up. Sirius and Narcissa start falling in love (Even if they are distantly related) and take Draco and Ginny (Along with all the Weasleys and Hermione) to the Quidditch World Cup. Ginny tries out for the school team and makes Seeker while Draco is elected captain. The Tri-wizard competition arrives and Draco helps Cedric while his girl Cho oggles Harry. At the last second, Cedric, develops some nobility and lets Harry win the competition. Sadly, though, he is one of the few who believe him when he says the Dark Lord is back. But Harry's whole school believes him.

Now Harry has let that fame go to his head and we join Draco, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione, on summer break at the Malfoy Manor, where all have moved in.

Chapter One

How do you say I love you?

Ginny shyly slipped her hand into Draco's. He turned and grinned at her, squeezing her hand slightly, causing a rush of blood to flame her face. One would imagine that after the fiasco two years ago when she blazed into the scene, in full Dragon regalia and saved an innocent man, that she would have over come her shyness.

But no! she still had to look at him with those adoring eyes.

Aparently someone was none too pleased about those adoring eyes.

Ron was glaring determinedly at Draco. When it came to his little sister, Ron tended to forget that Draco was his best friend and would never hurt her. He also seemed to miss the various looks Hermione threw his way. Hermione was head over heels in love with the single most dense boy in the world.

Draco, on the other hand, was dashing, romantic, charming, brave, funny, handsome and noble. His grinn tended to elect various different responses, including blushing and a childish greed. Ginny let Draco lead her into the Conservatory. She sat across from him at the glass and wrought iron table. Hermione and Ron sat down as a House Elf brought napkins and cutlery.

"Will Mister Malfoy be needing anything?" The elf squeaked.

"Just tea, please. Oh and have Kitty fix up some of her fantastic scones, Gin here hasn't ever had them." He grinned charmingly at the elf.

The Elf nodded and bowed off. Even Hermione had nothing to say about the treatment of the Malfoy elves. All thier elves got uniforms and excellent housing conditions. Draco transfered his grin to Ginny.

"That dress is really becoming of you, Ginny, dear."

Ginny felt her face flush and Ron glared all the harder. Draco turned to Ron and smoothly engaged him in a conversation as Ginny and Hermione prattled about random things until the tea arrived. Hermione was very pretty and Ginny wondered again why she wasted herself on her brother. Hermione, between her looks and her brains, could land any job or any guy she wanted. The only clue she had that Ron liked her was when Harry Potter had tried to make a move on her and Ron had to be forcibly restrained by several other students. He had also shown the same behavior when Harry tried to grab Ginny's ass. Of course, GInny had decked him. She half expected him to try and kill her but he had merely grinned and said he liked girls that were hard to get.

"Harry Potter is something of a prat, isn't he?" Ron said around one of Kitty's famous scones.

Draco nodded as he buttered a scone. "He's got something of a hero complex."

"Hero complex?" Ron asked blankly.

"Yes," Draco replied, reaching across the table to hand Ginny the scone. "You're not eating enough, darling. I can't have my girlfriend wasting away."

Ginny took it with a slight blush. What did she do to deserve a man this nice? Narcissa had done a good job about Draco. He truly was a perfect gentleman. He easily brought up the fact that he thought she should be eating more with out insulting any present. Ron frowned slightly, as though trying to decide whether it eas a killing offense to offer his sister a scone.

"A hero complex is when you become obsessed with yourself after doing something worthy of noticing." Draco continued. "In this case, Harry thinks the whole world should fall down and worship him simply because he stopped Voldermort all those years ago."

Ron flinched slightly at the name but he was the only one. Ginny was used to her boyfriend's brazen use of thier enemy's name and Hermione was getting there.

Ginny bit into the scone as Draco poured everyone tea. He paused at each to ask how much. After that he passed the sugar and cream to each of them. He put two lumps in GInny's without even asking and no cream. GInny felt tears touch her eyes. What did she do to deserve a boyfriend like this?

Draco looked up and saw the tears. "Ginny!" He cried softly, getting up. Ron started to as well, but Hermione stalled him and with a meaningful look, dragged him off to the other half of the room. Draco gathered Ginny in his arms and cradled her as he sat on the stone floor. "GInny, my love, what's wrong?"

Ginny sniffed. " What did I do to deserve you?"

He kissed her temple. "Everything. You are the most perfect person I know. You are beautiful and smart. Strong and funny. And I love you."

GInny looked up at him. "You do?"

He grinned and kissed her. "Of course. Would I really put up with your brother complaining to me every five seconds about either how much he loves Hermione or how I'd better not try anything til after we're married if I didn't?"

Ginny opened her mouth to comment on that when a voice drawled. "Well, well, well, how cute. My enemy and my future wife."
