Draco couldn't believe that Ginny hadn't contacted him in three months. It seemed that she was actually listening to his threat. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, but he missed her. She was this little spit fire who was way too good for him, but she still gave herself to him freely. Potter didn't realize what he had.

He tried to get her out of his system by sleeping with other girls, but they left him unsatisfied. He had kicked every one of them out of his bed rather rudely. It had earned him quite a few unsavory comments in Witch Weekly. He just hoped Ginny hadn't read the articles. He read all about her in the Daily Prophet. She had attended a lot of ministry affairs these last three months. Usually she would only go to a few of Harry's events and all of the others she would spend with Draco, but not these last three months. In all of the pictures she looked more and more unhappy.

Blaise came over to Draco and pulled the newspaper out of his hands. "Moping again, Malfoy?"

Draco glared at his best friend. "Malfoy's do not mope."

Blaise tilted his head to the side. "Really? You look like you're moping. Are you pouting?"

Draco pushed Zabini as Blaise went to sit in the chair next to him. "You're a wanker."

Blaise shrugged as if to say 'yeah I know'. "Still upset about the lovely Ginny Weasley?"

"Sod off."

Malfoy went to leave. "Drake, what's up man?"

Draco looked back at Blaise. He sighed then sat back down. He raked his hands through his hair before starting. "I just … I don't know. I know she's not happy, but I can't be the other guy. You know how I am and honestly I find it insulting that she chose Potter over me. I mean really, Potter? I want to her to come crawling back to me, yet I don't at the same time because she isn't the type to beg and I don't know. I just want to see her."

Blaise clapped Draco on the back. "Well she is the maid of honor so you get to see her then at least. Hell you even get to escort her down the isle." Draco nodded his head but continued to 'not' mope and 'not' pout. "You really love her don't you? Well I never thought I'd see the day that our Ice Prince of Slytherin would fall for Gryffindor's feisty little sweetheart."

Draco glared at Zabini again. "You tell anyone about this and I will hex your balls off and then kill you."

Zabini held his hands up in surrender. "So how is she in the sack?"

"Zabini!" Blaise ran off laughing as Draco chased him.

Ginny was waiting for the procession to start at Luna and Blaise's wedding when Malfoy grabbed her arm and pulled her behind a nearby tree. Luna had wanted an outdoor spring wedding so Blaise rented out an entire National Park for the wedding and reception. The trees were quite lovely, but Ginny didn't like them at the moment since she was getting pushed into one. "What are you doing, Draco? Let me go before someone sees us."

Instead of letting her go Draco just caged her in with his arms. "How are things with Potter?"

Ginny rolled her eyes. She knew this conversation was coming. She didn't know if she could stay away from Draco if he told her he would start their relationship again. She missed his so much even though he was snarky bastard. "Great. Wonderful. Splendid even. Are there anymore questions or can you move before we are-"

Luna came over to their tree. "Sorry to interrupt your little chat but it's time to walk down the isle now." Luna went to turn back around but stopped as she took Ginny in. She let out a small gasp. "Ginny where is your drunken pixie repellent charm?" Ginny lifted up her arm were a small golden acorn was tied to her wrist. "Oh good. You know that weddings attract them. I think it is all of the laughter, but Blaise believes it is the high level of sexual energy. We might conduct an experiment after our honeymoon." Luna turned her big blue eyes to Draco. "Did Blaise give you yours?" Draco nodded and held up his golden acorn. "Good. Let's go get married then shall we?" Luna put an arm around each of them and herded them to the walkway. Draco instantly stiffened the moment Luna's arm went around his waist. He was pulled out of his horror by a snort of laughter. He looked down to see Ginny shaking with the effort to contain herself on the other side of Luna.

The music started and Draco and Ginny had to run the first few steps toward Blaise. Draco grabbed Ginny's arm as they started walking down the isle. His fingers gently caressed the inside of her arm. Ginny let out a small gasp and closed her eyes for a second. "Miss me, love?"

Draco kept making small circles on Ginny's arm. "Draco please stop. Not here. Everyone is looking."

Draco's hands froze. She said not here. Did she want to be with him again? Did she end it with Potter? He looked out of the corner of his eye at her. "Are you still with the boy wonder?" The rest of the question was left unsaid.

Ginny met his gaze through the side of her eye. "Yes."

Draco's grip tightened slightly then his eyes turned glacial. He was icy for the rest of the ceremony. She had to do it to him. She couldn't go back to him. She couldn't do that to Harry. She had already cheated on Harry so to make up for it she would stay with him for as long as he wanted her to. It was so hard to listen to her conscience when everything about Draco called to her even though Draco was ignoring her completely, Ginny still felt more alive in his presence than she had for three months. Her body hummed with energy and her heart began to race. Just the sight of him, no matter how angry or grumpy he was, made her breathe catch. She wasn't sure before the split, but now she knew that she loved him. Ginny felt moister run down her face. She went to whip the tear away, but Draco noticed.

He looked at her with such intense longing for that brief second that another tear slipped out. She needed Draco. Her soul practically screamed for him. She was tempted to run across the small distance between them and throw herself at him. She took one step towards him then realized where she was, who she was, and the repercussions of her actions. She couldn't. Draco shot her another curious look. All of her carefully sewn seams were coming apart in front of all of her friends and a few of her enemies. Around her a loving union was starting, but in her own world she was at a funeral.

The ceremony was coming to an end. They all started the procession to the reception area. Draco was by her side before she knew it. His hand was gentle as he lead her away from the alter. Ginny was thankful that he didn't look at her. If he had looked at her with one of his rare sympathetic understanding stares she would have broken down in his arms.

Once at the reception area, Draco let go of her hand and walked away. Ron was instantly by her side. "You ok, Ginny? Did Malfoy do something to you? He did didn't he? That pillock did something to make you cry. I'll take care of him."

Ginny was quiet through his accusations until he made a move to go after Draco. She grabbed Ron's arm and clung to it. "No, Ron, don't. He didn't do anything to me." Ron was still looking skeptical. "I just got emotional because my best friend is getting married that's all."

Ron stared at her incredulously. "You didn't look happy."

Ginny lied quickly. "I am, really. Blaise is perfect for Luna."

Ron looked at her quietly for a few moments. "Ok, Ginny. Whatever you say."

Ginny sat at a little table as the reception was raging around her. Harry had gone to talk to some of his friends, leaving her completely alone. She was glad to be alone. She didn't want to ruin anyone's time here. Without realizing it at first, her eyes were searching for Draco. "Want to dance, Gin?"

Ginny's breathe caught as Draco offered his hand from behind her. She didn't need to see him to know that it was him. His voice was so distinct. It still held some of the snootiness from school, but it ran over her body like a warm water. "Please."

One dance wouldn't hurt. Draco pulled her onto the dance floor as a waltz came on. They stood an appropriate distance away, but they still got many shocked looks. Both were too absorbed in each other to notice. "You're not happy."

It wasn't a question. Ginny wasn't going to lie to Draco. "No, I'm not."

Draco looked irritated. "Then why don't you leave him, Gin?" He couldn't grasp why she was staying with him when she was so obviously miserable. "Don't you disserve to be happy?"

Tears filled Ginny's eyes but she held them in check, never letting them fall. "No." The only sign of Draco's shock was the slight widening of his eyes. "I cheated. I cheated, Draco. I don't deserve to be happy and I'm going to make sure that Harry is happy for as long as he wants me."

Draco took on a hard edge. "What about me, Ginny? Do I not deserve happiness?"

Ginny hung her head. That was all Draco needed to see. He walked off of the dance floor leaving Ginny alone again. Ginny cried after him, "Draco, wait. Let me explain."

She went to follow him as Harry stepped in front of her. She had to choke back a sob. Why did it have to be Harry? "Are you ok, Ginny?" Ginny just shook her head and ran after Draco.

She caught up with Draco by the punch bowl. The food table was in the middle of the reception area. Everyone could see and hear everything they were saying, but Ginny didn't care. "Damn it, Draco. Stop." He kept moving around the table, casually grabbing food. "You don't understand."

Draco stopped at that. He turned on her in cold fury. "I think I understand perfectly, Weasley." He gave her a tight lipped smile. "You have made it abundantly clear."

He turned away from her again, but she grabbed his hand and moved in front of him quickly. "No you don't." She lowered her voice. "I love you. I don't know for how long, but I do. It kills me to not be with you. Just seeing you here today is like torture. I tried to stop. I tried to forget about you, but I couldn't. I'd see you every night and everything reminds me of you. I can't do this anymore. I can't not see you. It hurts too much to pretend anymore." His face remained cold and hard. "I'll go talk to Harry, ok? I'll stop seeing him, just please stop being like this." Draco stood still starring down at the little woman who held his heart in her dainty hands that were clutching his. He motioned toward Harry with his head. Ginny beamed up at him before running off to Harry.

Harry looked her over once she got to him. "So it was him?"

Ginny nodded. "Yes. I'm so sorry Harry. How'd you know?"

"I do have eyes Ginny. After the looks you were sending him at the ceremony and then the way you to were arguing and dancing, it was kind of obvious."

"I really am sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen. It just …"

Harry just took it all in. "I understand." Good, loyal, just Harry would understand. "Do you love him, Ginny?" Ginny nodded instantly. "Are you sure about this?" Again Ginny nodded instantly. "We haven't been right for a while now have we?"

Ginny let out a little self deprecating laugh, "No we haven't."

Harry nodded. "We should of broken up a while ago but-"

"My family really wanted us to be together. Hell the wizarding world wanted us to be together."

Harry ran his hand through his messy hair. "Yeah …"

"Thank you so much, Harry."

Ginny squeezed his hand. "I haven't forgiven you I hope you know."

"I know"

"It will take me a while to forgive you. I do have pride and all." Harry smiled at her. "But I do want you to be happy … and if Malfoy makes you happy then go be with the ferret. Besides I think having to deal with Ron and your family will be punishment enough."

Ginny hugged Harry tightly, "I don't deserve you in my life. You are something else, Harry Potter."

Harry laughed at Ginny, then pushed her in the direction of Draco. "Go to your Slytherin, traitor."

Ginny hugged Harry one last time before going back to Draco. They had a quiet conversation and then Draco's face did the most unusual thing. He actually smiled. Harry almost fell over from shock. It wasn't a malicious smile or a smirk or even a grin. Draco Malfoy was positively beaming with joy. He grabbed Ginny's hand and dragged her to Blaise and Luna. They appeared to say a quick good-bye before apparating away. Harry turned his shocked face to Ron as he came up. "Did you see that, Harry?"

Harry just nodded his head in muted shock. Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley. Who would have thought? He needed a drink or maybe two.
