Severus tossed the invitation on the desk in front of him. He sighed and leaned back in his chair,placing his hands behind his head.Albus watched him from the doorway.
"So are you going to go?"he asked,stepping inside the classroom.Severus looked up at him and shook his head.
"I don't see the point in my going."he replied,looking back down at the invitation.
"Naturally,there is a very valid point."Albus said,haughtily.
"Oh really?And what might that be?"Severus asked.
"They invited you."Severus looked up at him again."Well,I told you there is a point."
"Well,just because they invited me doesn't mean they want me to come.The Weasley girl doesn't even like me."Severus said,picking up the invitation and throwing it towards the fireplace.It landed a few inches shy of the flames.
"They wouldn't have sent the invitation if they didn't want you there,Severus.I know Ginny very well and she wouldn't have just gave in and let Draco invite you if she didn't want you there as well."
"Are you going to go?"Severus asked.
"Of course! It's not everyday that I get to see two of my former students go to the alter."he said,smiling proudly.
"Well,I still don't want to go."Severus said.
"Oh,you'll go."
"What makes you so sure about that,Professor."Severus looked up at him.
"Because,if you don't,I'll fire you.I shall not have my former students dissappointed on their wedding day.I suggest you get some dress robes Severus.You're going to need them.Good day."And with that,Albus walked out,Severus staring after him. He stood and picked up the invitation from the floor,sighing.
"This should be interesting."
~*~*~
"Gin! Aren't you ready yet?!?"Draco yelled up the stairs,glancing at his watch for the fourth time in ten minutes. "We're going to be late for our own engagement party!"
"I'm coming,I'm coming! Don't get your knickers in a twist."Ginny cried back. The bedroom door at the top of the stairs opened and she stepped out. Draco stared in awe. There stood Ginny,clad in a black leather skirt-halter ensemble. She was wearing matching high heels and her firey locks were clipped on top of her head with black clips shaped like stars.
"What do you think,Love? Smoldering temtress?"she said,smirking seductively.Draco was at a loss for words. He just nodded in reponse. She grinned and walked down the stairs to him. "Close your mouth,dear.You are going to catch flies."Draco shut his mouth and she kissed him on the cheek.
"I thought you'd like it. Now come along before we're late."she took his hand and drug him out the door of their appartment.
~*~*~
The New York city night club was packed with party guests. People from all over the States,as well as Britain were crowded in the large dining area. Guests hurried up to Draco and Ginny,most of which they didn't even know,congradulating them on their engagement. One extremely over excited guest hurried up to them and took all four of their hands in hers.
"Oh...my...god!"she cried as she hugged them both. Draco glanced at Ginny and she shrugged. "I can't BELIEVE that you guys are getting married!"she cried in a shrill Brooklyn accent. "I am SO happy for you."She hugged them both tightly again and then ran off into the crowd of people.
"Who the hell was that?"Ginny asked. Draco shrugged.
"Damned if I know."
That was how most of the night went. People ran up to them and hugged them and congradualated them and then ran away into the crowd. Very few of the people there,with the exception of Ginny's brothers,Harry,Hermione,Ginny's friends from work at JLA and a few of Draco's modeling friends,did they know well enough to remember their names. The party seemed to have turned into one giant rave and everyone was enjoying themselves. When the group of well-wishers subsided,Ginny took the opportunity to go to the bar and fetch a drink. She sat down at the bar and sighed.
"You look beat."said the bartender. Ginny looked up at her and smiled."Aren't you the bride to be at this shin-dig?" Ginny nodded.
"Yep,that's me. I'm Ginny."She stuck out her hand and the girl took it.
"Dana. Dana Carver. So I hear this boytoy of yours is a bit of a,how should I word this,sex god."Ginny burst out laughing.
"Don't let Draco hear you say that.It would give him an even bigger ego about his good looks than he already has."Ginny said. Dana laughed and picked up a fashion magazine lying on the counter. She flipped to a page and set it in front of Ginny.
"Hell,if I looked that good with my shirt off,I think I'd have a big head too. Only one word comes to mind for that one and its "Damn!"."Dana said.Ginny laughed."Can I get you a drink,hun? You look like you could use one."Ginny nodded."Pick your poison. Screaming orgasm? Sex on the beach? Absinthe?"Ginny pondered a moment before Dana said something."Oh,I've got the perfect drink for you."She turned around started fumbling around the ingredients. Ginny leaned forward to see what she was doing when she placed the drink in front of her. It was eliciting flames and puffs of seafoam green smoke and the bubbling liquid below was a deep blue color.
"What is it?"Ginny asked,staring at the shotglass.
"Just try it. I guarantee you'll like."Ginny stared at her sceptically for a moment and then downed the shot in one gulp. She set the glass down,coughing.
"That stuff is strong! What was that?!?"Ginny cried.
"Dragon's breath. My own recipe.Guaranteed to give you a buzz in one gulp."Dana said.Ginny stared at her."Not bad is it."
"Pretty good,once you get past the pyro act."Ginny said,whiping her mouth on a napkin.
"So you and Draco are from England?"Ginny nodded."What made you come here?"
"Two of my best friends opened up a school here.Ever heard of the James and Lily Potter Memorial Academy?"Ginny asked.Dana shook her head."Well its this big private school just outside of the city. But anyway,my friends wanted me to come work for him as a teacher at this school and I said yes and here we are."
"Sounds like an interesting story."Dana said.Ginny nodded.
"It is a lot more complicated than it sounds."Ginny replied."What about you.What's your story?"Dana tensed slightly.
"Uh...mines a lot less interesting.Just a small town girl lookin' for a career in the big city."Dana said.
"As a bartender?"
"No,as a photographer.I am an amateur photographer in my off hours."Dana said.
"Where are you from?"
"Grantsville,West Virginia."
"So you are a photographer? What do you take pictures of?"Ginny asked.
"Everything."
"I'd love to see some of your work. I've been searching for a wedding photographer for ages."
"Oh,I'd never be good enough for that!"Dana cried.
"I bet you would be perfect for it. I tell you what. Draco is having a party in a week,a bunch of his business associates are coming over for cocktails and all that,terribly boring people they are.Why don't you come by with some of your most recent work and I'll take a look,you might just get yourself a job."Ginny said. Dana contemplated a moment and nodded.
"Sure,I don't see why not."she said,just as Draco hurried towards them,slipping his arms around Ginny's waist and kissing her on the cheek.
"Hey,beautiful,what's up?"he asked.Ginny looked up at him and he kissed her.
"This is Dana Carver.Dana,this is my fiancee,Draco."Ginny said.
"Nice to meet you."he said,smiling at her.
"Likewise."
"Dana's a photographer. I was just talking to her about the possibility of her taking our wedding photos."Ginny explained.
"Lovely,Red,I'm glad you might have found someone but I'd say you better get back out there because they started kareoke and Fred and George are up there singing "Like A Virgin". It's way too funny to miss."Draco said. Ginny looked back towards Dana and laughed as the words "I made it through the wilderness!"in her brother's poor attempt at a Madonna impression rang out thorugh the room.
"I gotta go but I hope you can make it to the party."Ginny said as Draco began pulling her towards the door. "We live in the appartment building at the very end of Market Street.Number 109"she cried as she dissappeared through the door.
