Ginny was sitting on the front porch of the beach house she was currently staying in with Draco Malfoy.
No you aren't hallucinating and yes you read it right, Draco Malfoy. On the last day of her seventh year (she was accelerated for her outstanding performance), she found out that she was finally meeting her fiancé and she was to stay with him at a beach house in California to be able to know him better.
FLASBACK
Ginny along with her father made their way toward the beach house. She smiled in awe as it came to view. It was beautiful! Arthur climbed up the wooden steps and entered the house while Ginny took her time and climbed the steps slowly and stayed on the front porch, seating her self on one of the cozy chairs that were placed there.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sound of the water, colliding itself with the sandy floor of the beach.
"Ahem." A male voice said. Ginny opened her eyes and gasped.
"You! What are you doing here?" Ginny asked.
"What a thing to say to your fiancé." Draco drawled.
"You're joking right?" she said. A part of her was wishing that he was and another part of her was wishing he wasn't (which scared her, actually).
"I wish I was weasel, I wish I was." Draco said as he sat down on the chair next to hers.
She groaned. "How can we get out of this?" she said.
"We can't. My mom's wish is that she picks who is appropriate for me to marry and apparently it had to be you." He replied.
"Since when have you listened to what your mother says?" she said.
"Look weasel, I'm just doing this for my mom. I want her to be happy now that…" he drifted off.
"Oh… I understand. Well what do you expect we do? Both of us know fairly well we CANNOT stand each other, let alone live with each other." She complained.
"Look. I thought of something. We could act all together and stuff in front of our parents then we could live separate lives when we're not with them." Draco said.
Ginny seemed to contemplate the thought for a minute then she agreed. "But we don't have to touch each other when we're with them, right?"
"Of course." Draco said.
"Great. Oh yeah! Don't ever let me see you getting it on with a girl in the house or else there will be the next world war. Got it?" Ginny said sharply.
Draco raised his hands up as if surrendering. "All right. You don't have to get your knickers in a twist." He said as he chuckled.
"Oh shut up!" she said crossly.
"So, do you have a boy friend?" he asked.
"No. surprisingly I'm single." She said.
"That is a surprise! Damn girl! With a physique like that, the guys out there must have gone blind!" he said without even thinking.
"Why Mr. Malfoy was that a compliment?" Ginny asked, surprised and flattered.
"Yeah… I guess it was." Draco said.
The 2 were actually having a civil conversation when Draco suddenly noticed something and held his hand up to stop Ginny from talking.
"What is it?" Ginny asked.
"Mom, Mr. Weasley! You don't have to eavesdrop on our conversation, you can always join us." He called out. There was silence at first, then there were a few footsteps then the door opened and 2 red-faced adults stepped out, looking extremely embarrassed. Ginny covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
"Ahem. Well, it seems that you two are getting along just fine. We better leave you then. Goodbye Gin. And Draco please look after my daughter." Arthur said as he regained his composure.
"Of course I will." Draco said politely.
"Goodbye son and Ginny please promise me that you'll take care of him." Narcissa said.
"That's a promise." Ginny replied.
"Well… We'll see you at the end of the summer. We love you." Narcissa said.
Then the 2 adults made their way down the wooden steps and were soon out of view.
Draco lifted his arm and checked the time. He gasped.
"Well I have to jet. I have a date with… Annabelle. I think…" he said as he stood up.
"Well I hope you have a nice time." She said emotionlessly. She felt weird upon hearing him going on one of little affairs. What was weirder was she was actually AFFECTED by this when during her school days she heard at least more than one girl bragging about their so called relationship with him.
Are you jealous? A voice inside her head said.
Of course not! If I was jealous I would have to like him which I don't. She thought back furiously.
Whoa! Don't get bitchy on me. It was just a question.
Oh shut up!
Draco didn't notice her tone and went his way down the street and rode onto his car.
Ginny stayed in her chair for quite some time, just looking out at the beautiful view and enjoying her surroundings when a voice said "Head's up!"
She turned quickly and as if by instinct she raised her hand and caught a football.
The owner of the ball ran to her and said "I'm so sorry about that Ms."
Ginny turned to the person and her jaw dropped. "Blaise Zabini?"
There, standing right in front of her was Hogwarts and the wizarding world's hottest bachelor number two.
