Chapter 3: sickle for your thoughts.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but this story.
"Cough" somebody was in the room but they didn't care. "COUGH COUGH" "Miss weasley and Mr malfoy!". They broke apart suddenly and looked up to find that professor mcgonagal was staring at them with shock and amusement. "Well, this wasn't quite the sight I was expecting but oh well" she giggled. Draco and Ginny looked at each other in alarm and both said, "don't tell any one, please" at the same time "Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy snogging? Come on, who would believe me if I did?" they relaxed as they both realised that she was right.
Ginny glanced at Draco, wondering whether he thought that they had made a mistake. She was reassured when he smiled at her and took her hand. "Are you two…?" "Err… that's a point, Ginny will you be my girlfriend?" he was shaking and gripping her hand tightly as he got down on one knee. It was as if his life was hanging on her answer. She didn't know what to say, she'd love too but what would their families do, They'd be devastated. But maybe her family wouldn't be too bad. But his would go mad. Who was she kidding, she didn't care, "Yes, ofcourse I will" he was shocked but he stood up and kissed her again not letting go until the Professor "coughed" again then they both pulled away blushing.
"Damn, that's five sickles I'll never see again" Professor Mcgonagal groaned "Albus is going to do that stupid victory dance as well, shit, why does he know everything?" she was more annoyed about that than the money. "What are you talking about professor?" asked Ginny, in a sickly sweet voice that could've rivalled Professor Umbridge. "Oh, nothing…Err…it's just that the headmaster and I had a bet on you see?" she was stuttering a bit as she said this, realising how childish it sounded. "I'm not even going too ask," Draco sighed, "me either" Ginny agreed it was probably best not to.
"Well… any way… I assume you never got to finish the whole film and if you did you never saw it…" they blushed bright red at this, only because she was right. "Any way it's 12:30 now and time for bed, got to be up bright and early for class tomorrow as well as the rest of us" so off you go and keep your clearance cards with you at all times, you both know filch will do anything to catch a student or two out in the halls after hours".
Draco walked Ginny to her Common room. They didn't talk much but they really didn't need to. A picture's worth a thousand words, right? He gave her a good night kiss. Squeezed her hand and hugged her before practically skipping to his own common room humming a very familiar tune "oh I've had the time of my life, and I owe it all to you".
