Ginny Weasley's life did not turn out how she had thought it would…
It was far better than she originally imagined, at least in her opinion.
She had always thought, at least since her second year in Hogwarts, that she would marry Harry Potter, shortly after her graduation, and that they would have a modest, but comfortable lifestyle. They would have a few kids, and Ginny would probably be a housewife, like her mother.
Boy, was she wrong…
It all started, when after her graduation, she and a few friends went for a two week vacation in Rhodes, Greece. They, she and her three best friends- Abby Jennings, Julia (or Jules) Sampson, and Lorena McCarthy- had been planning their trip to Greece since their fourth year at Hogwarts.
They foursome had decided, inspired by Abby who was muggleborn, that they would enjoy their trip muggle style, so since the summer after their fourth year, they each worked at muggle jobs in order to save up money.
Indeed, after graduation, the four girls traveled to Rhodes, and it had been the best experience in Ginny's life. They traveled all day, and tanned at the beach, and every night they would party at a bar or a club. They met a lot of people, a lot of guys to be exact.
That was when Ginny realized that she didn't want to marry Harry Potter, or anyone else for the matter, at least not anytime soon. She was only eighteen! She had her whole life ahead of her, and as much as she loved Harry, she realized he was more like a brother to her.
And no, when she had hooked up with the guys in Rhodes, she hadn't been cheating, she and Harry were not really together, it was just this thing between them, which had ended at the end of his sixth year, but they had both always thought they would get back together.
Anyhow, she understood that she needed to have time to enjoy her life, explore new options, and have FUN!
During her trip in Rhodes, she also realized what she wanted to do in life- as far as work goes.
One day in Greece, they had gone to a shopping mall, and the witches, other than Abby who was used to malls, were amazed.
"These muggles are so evolved and amazing!" Lorena had said, who was raised in an old fashioned pureblood family who hated muggles and were against anything that had to do with them, but Lorena wasn't like that at all. She was amazed by muggles and found them fascinating, kind of like Ginny's father.
Lorena defied her parents in anyway she could and in their sixth year during the war, her parents had both mysteriously disappeared. Some thought it had been Voldemorts work, since the McCarthy's would not join his side. Some thought they had fled the country because they were Death Eaters, and tried to escape going to Askaban. Even Lorena didn't know, but her parents had left all their assets behind- which were a lot.
Anyway, at that shopping mall, was where Ginny found her career choice. In the mall there was an enormous store, filled with cosmetics- makeup, creams, perfumes and so much more! Ginny was dazzled because she had always taken an interest in beauty, especially making other people beautiful. Besides that the wizarding world did not have cosmetics, just spells, and honestly they didn't do much.
That was when Ginny Weasley decided that she was going to open the first cosmetics line in the wizarding world.

When they had returned from Greece, Ginny felt excited to start her life. But she knew that she had a few matters to deal with first.
Upon arriving home her family had thrown her a small welcome back party, and she knew, that would be the perfect opportunity to talk to Harry.
She took him aside that day, out to the garden. Harry smiled at her "you look beautiful Gin," he said and it was true.
Ginny had always had a pretty face, but when she hit puberty she had become a full fledged hottie. She had curves in all the right places, and a big chest, not to big, but definitely not small. Her hazel eyes had become slightly greener and her once orangey red hair became slightly darker and straighter. She looked good, and she knew it, but she wasn't cocky about it.
Not to mention the time on the beach in Greece definitely did well for her, her pale skin was slightly darker and had a glow to it, and all that time in the sun gave her hair some natural highlights.
Ginny smiled, "thanks, you look good too Harry. Listen I need-"but she was cut off by Harry saying "I need to tell you something." They both grinned, "Go ahead" Harry said, but Ginny shook her head "no it's fine. Spill your guts to me Potter." She said with a smile hoping he wouldn't ask her out or anything like that.
"Okay then," Harry sighed and then continued, "Listen Gin, while you were in Greece, and during this year, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I realized, that well, I haven't really had time to live my life, even though the war ended almost two years ago, I jumped straight into auror training, and I haven't had time to well, have fun, and have new experiences. And I mean we aren't dating but I always felt that we kind of always thought, at least I did, and that we would end up together. But the thing is, as much as I think your beautiful and funny and smart and well, amazing, the love I have for you, is more of a brotherly love, and I think that well…"
"Harry stop," Ginny interrupted and she saw Harry take a shaky breath.
Ginny smiled at him warmly, "I was just about to tell you the same thing."
Harry smiled with relief and let out a deep breath. "That is such a relief Gin, I really didn't want you to feel bad or anything." Ginny shook her head and they both hugged, and they knew everything was good between them.

Since all had worked out on the Harry front, she knew she should start focusing on her cosmetics company idea. The problem was that she would need a lot of money, money that she didn't have. She couldn't get a loan from Gringotts, the amount was too big and they would not give it to her. Even if she got a job, it would take her years to have the amount needed, she was desperate.
She decided to talk to Lorena, who had great connections in the wizarding world and was respected, thanks to her family name of course, she was an McCarthy after all, and the McCarthy's were one of the richest most respected pureblood families in the wizarding world.
After explaining her problem to her friend, Lorena had offered to give Ginny the money. Ginny had declined the offer, but Lorena insisted, so Ginny told her friend that it was a loan not a gift, and Ginny would pay her back. Lorena told her friend she didn't have to, as the money was not an issue to her, but Ginny was stubborn so Lorena had agreed for it to be a loan.
It took Ginny a year to get the company ready, after all she had to build a whole company, from scratch, but it worked out fairly quickly, with the help of her friends and family, and by the time she was nineteen and a half, the Les Best cosmetics company was ready for launch. On the day that she officially opened the company, Lorena (of course), had arranged for the press to come and cover the story as well as to give the company publicity.
The wizarding community reacted as Ginny expected, they loved the idea and the products. Her cosmetics were sold like hot cakes, and her company was off to a very good start.

So you see now, five years after her graduation from Hogwarts, four after opening her company, Ginny Weasley's life was very different from what she thought it would be, it was much better. She was very successful and only twenty three years old, she was rich, famous, beautiful. She always had fun, she had an amazing family and a ton of friends who she loved. She partied almost everyday, had tons of sex with gorgeous guys, and a few boyfriends along the way.
All in all, her life was going swimmingly, but, all of it was about to change very, very soon…

The music in the dark club was blaring loudly. People were dancing all around, and the dim lights were flashing, each time in different colors.
It was December 31, and it was a New Years Eve party, at a hip new club called Icing.
Ginny was currently dancing with some random hot guy, she was slightly tipsy, but having a great time.
She and a group of friends had come to celebrate the New Year, and just to get drunk.
"I'll be right back" she told the guy, Trent or Brent or whatever his name was, she couldn't remember and didn't really care. She walked over to the bar giggling, just from being buzzed. "Jason", she called to the bartender, "can I have another one of those pinky yummy drinks, whatever that was…" she slurred. Maybe she was a little tipsier than she thought.
The bartender nodded and with a wink he added "careful little miss, we don't want you to be too intoxicated and causing any trouble."
Ginny just shrugged and hopped onto the bar stool. She looked back towards the dance floor and noticed Brian, yes now she remembered, it was Brian- dancing with another girl.
Ah well, she thought to herself, he's not that cute anyway. I'll find someone else to dance with. There are tons of guys here.
She sat there, sipping her pink drink through a straw and just starring at the enormous amount of alcohol bottles behind the bar when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned to face the person, and gave a little gasp at the man standing before her. He was tall, blonde, and gorgeous with silvery blue eyes that just made her melt. Just by looking at him you could tell he had a six pack and delicious arms. He stood there with a coy smirk on his lovely lips, and he was giving her a once over, or was it a twice over. At first she didn't recognize the lovely looking man, but after looking at him again she realized he was none other than the famous or infamous- depending on who you asked- Draco Malfoy.
"Well, if it isn't little Ginny Weasley, all grown up" he said and looked towards her cleavage, that was very noticeable in the white strapless top she was wearing.
She just rolled her eyes "nice to see you too Malfoy," she replied lazily, sipping her drink.
"Now then, no reason to be hostile, I just saw the red hair, and had to see if it was you. You know Miss Weasley," he drawled, "you have become a very famous little witch among the wizarding community… I was actually quite surprised when you first came out with that lovely company of yours. It's actually provided me with many gifts to my, many, girlfriends. So thank you." He smirked cockily.
You see, after the company's instant success, Ginny decided to also start a perfume line, and following a lingerie line. All was very successful indeed.
"Thanks" Ginny said dryly and turned back towards the bar.
Draco frowned slightly at the lack of her comeback, and he tapped her shoulder again. Ginny sighed slightly and turned back towards him, "yes Malfoy, what is it now?" She asked sounding slightly annoyed, but she was just teasing him. He was too hot and she was too drunk to really be annoyed with his ego. Actually it was kind of a turn-on.
He grinned, "Dance with me gorgeous?" He asked slyly and held out his hand to her.
She pretended to contemplate the offer for a second but then took his hand a flashed him a smile, "sure why not?"
He led her to the dance floor and they both started grinding with each other. She assumed he was also drunk, since his breath smelled like Fire Whiskey, but Ginny didn't care, mixed with his cologne, it actually smelled good.
They had been dancing for a while now. Draco was holding her by the waist, and she was holding his shoulders. Both were starting to sweat now, and Ginny was starting to feel slightly aroused- okay very aroused. But judging by the hard bulge against her thigh, so was Draco.
He pulled her closer and whispered to her, his breath tickling her ear "you really are gorgeous you know?"
Ginny smirked slightly and leaned in to whisper in his ear, "your not too bad yourself Malfoy…" she purred.
He moved her slightly and they were now looking each other in the eye. Their noses were touching and they had stopped dancing. They were standing in the middle of the dance floor, his arms circling her waist, and hers circling his neck, both panting heavily.
Suddenly the music stopped and a voice which was magically magnified spoke.
"Alright everyone, ten seconds to midnight… TEN… NINE…"
Everyone in the room started chanting, but Draco and Ginny remained in the same position staring at each other intently.
"I have to say, I'm really attracted to you Weasley" Draco said, still panting slightly.
"EIGHT"
"Me too Malfoy, me too"
"SEVEN"
"Be my New Years kiss?" He smirked
"SIX"
"You got it love" she replied
"FIVE"
"FOUR"
"THREE"
"Here it comes…" Ginny smiled
"TWO"
"One," Draco whispered and crashed his lips on hers. The kiss was intense, but in a good way. His tongue slid into her mouth, and the moment their tongues touched, it was electric. Their tongues danced happily and her hands grabbed his hair, and his grip on her waist tightened. His hands started roaming her body, her sides, her ass, her face. Ginny was starting to feel desperate, for him to touch her more. She slid her hands down to his stomach and under his black button down shirt. Her hands roamed over his six pack, and chest. He took a sharp breath when she trailed her nails lightly down his belly button towards his pants.
He broke from the kiss, "my house or yours Weasley?" He breathed and Ginny shook her head.
"Your choice Malfoy…" she smirked, and before she had finished her sentence they had apparated, into what she presumed, his bedroom.
