Chapter 2

"Hello my sweet Ginny." Draco smiled Saturday when he pick her up for their date. "Hi Draco." She smiled nervously. She was wearing a green dress, black flats, and a silver snake necklace.

"You look absolutely beautiful in green." He smiled taking her hand.

"Thank you. I figured I would wear it to see if you liked it on me." She giggled.

"I love it on you. It brings out your hair nicely." He looked her up and down making her cheeks turn almost the same color as her flam red hair.

"You look wonderful this evening as well Draco." Ginny smiled at him. He was wearing black slacks, dress shoes, and a green button-up shirt with the top two buttons open. "Thank you Ginny. Have you told your brother that you are going out with me this evening?" He smiled.

"No I have not talked to my brother since he made a scene in The Great Hall on Monday." She said sourly.

"Oh, did he offend you by talking bad about me?" Draco asked confused.

"Yes he did. I can't stand that he is so obsessed with destroying my happiness. If he would just leave me alone and let me grow up a little he would relies that I don't always need him." She fussed. Draco looked down at his feet.

"I'm sorry that I have come between you and your family. I guess the two of us going out tonight was a bad idea." He said sadly. "Draco don't say that. This was a wonderful idea. I'm sorry for being so distressed over my brother. I just wish he would be happy for us." She smiled putting her fingers under his chin to make him look into her eyes.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked tenderly. "Of course I am. Now let's forget about my brother and go to dinner." She took his hand and they walked into the night.

"So that's what he pulled you away from the party for. I can't believe Professor Snape is your father." Ginny said still in shock.

"I could not believe it myself when they first told me. I have always thought of him as a father because he has been around from before I was born according to my mum." Draco explained.

"She is going to marry him this spring and I am changing my last name to Snape so we can be a real family." He smiled happily. "That's wonderful Draco. Your mum will be so happy to have a real family." She smiled.

"I would like you to come to the wedding with me as my date. If you would like to of course." He stated shyly.

"I would love to go with you Draco. Not only as your date but possibly as your girlfriend." She looked down at the table her cheeks turning red as she realized what she had just said.

"Don't be embarrassed to tell me the truth about how you feel about me. It's ok to show your feelings." He smiled at her.

"Really, even if I'm completely and totally in love with you after just talking to you for this little amount of time tonight?" Ginny asked in a rush.

"Wait, did you just say you were in love with me?" he said socked.

"I didn't mean to say that out loud it just slipped out. I could not stop myself from saying it." Her face was bright red and she was biting her lip.

"Ginny, don't be ashamed of your feelings. The truth is that I love you too. I have loved you from a far for over a year now." He said sheepishly.

"Really that long, why didn't you say anything to me?" She wondered.

"I was afraid you would not feel the same way." He answered honestly.

"Well I do feel the same about you." She smiled at him.

"Really, you feel the same?" He smiled shocked.

"Yeah I do. I have for a while now. It was interesting trying to hide it from you over the past year and a half." She blushed again. "Wow, so what do we do now?" He wondered out loud.

"Well we could become a couple, but only if you want to." She looked at the table.

"Yeah I want that. Ginny will you be my girl?" He smiled at her.

"Yes. I have waited so long to hear you ask me that." She smiled wrapping her arms around his neck.

After dinner Draco walked Ginny back to her dormitory. They smiled and laughed the whole way back. When they reached the dorm Draco smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "Goodnight Draco." Ginny smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Goodnight my sweet Ginny." he smiled and walked back to his dorm and up to his room.
