Draco turned to look at the small girl. He wasn't used to being nice, and the little wench couldn't even be appreciative in return! He understood her pain, that was for sure. He knew that she didn't want to marry him because honestly, he didn't want to marry her either. She wasn't his idea of the perfect woman, but at least he had the decency to be nice to girl.

"What do you want from me Weasley? Like you, I have a life to return to."

Ginny signed and took a footstep towards him. She wasn't quite sure how to word the sentence she so badly didn't want to say, so she decided to just say the two simple default words that made everything easier.

"I'm sorry. I was just…" Suddenly, tears began to well up inside of her eyes.

Draco took a few quick steps toward her, and before she knew what was happening, she was tucked into his arms.

"Nobody gave me the choice you know! My mother decides suddenly that I'm supposed to marry you and no offense but, I don't even like you!"

She looked up at him with her shining green eyes that were now somewhat red from tears.

He smirked a little and brushed some tears from her cheek. "None taken Weasley. To be honest, I'm not all too fond of you either."

Ginny rubbed her wet cheek against his suit. He did his best not to yell at her, and took her cheeks in his hands.

"Feeling better little one?"

Ginny nodded and took a deep breath. "Yes I do. Thank you Malfoy."

He smirked once again. "I do have a name and as my uh…fiancé, as I've heard you are now, you should feel free to use it."

Ginny sighed and played with her bare fingers.

"Oh, that reminds me," Draco said, fishing around inside his inside pocket. "I went to go get this for you."

He took a small ring box from his inside pocket and held it out at his side.

"I knew you wouldn't want to do it, and when my father told me that you said yes, you wouldn't believe my shock. To make this a little bit easier on you… I mean I know this doesn't compensate for anything but… well…I got you this. It isn't very much but…" He sighed. "At least I can do this right."

He got on his knee and opened the box.

Ginny's jaw dropped when she saw the platinum gold ring. It had an emerald on one side, a ruby on the other, and in the center was a beautiful heart cut diamond. She could swear that her heart stopped beating for a moment.

"Bloody… How much did you spend on this?"

Draco shook his head. "Just give me your hand Weasley."

Ginny held her pale hand out to him and felt her eyes grow wider when he slid the delicate ring on her ring finger. She couldn't believe that any of this was real! Never had she had any piece of jewelry before, fake or real. She never even had her ears pierced!

"Oh my goodness…"

Draco stood up and smiled. Something filled his whole body with warmth to see the smallest of the Weasley clan so happy. Her eyes were filling up with tears again.

"Why did you… You didn't have to… How much did yo-"

Draco covered her open lips with one finger and smiled. "Hush Weasley. It's yours, that's all you need to know ok?"

Ginny looked at her finger. It looked so out of place in comparison her torn and tattered clothes.

Until that very moment, Ginny hadn't noticed that the rain was making her white tee-shirt transparent.

"Look Weasley… I know you don't like me very much but seeing as you have no place to go, since you ran away, why don't you come to my flat. Nobody will even know you're there. I promise. You can have your own room and we can pretend I'm some place else."

Ginny sighed. "I don't know if that's a good idea…"

He took a slight step toward her and brushed her wet cheek with the back of his hand.

"Look Gin… If something were to happen to you tonight, I don't know what I would do with myself. Please. At least just for tonight. Look, we can go out and look for flats tomorrow for you to live in. Just please… Come home with me."

Unbeknownst to Ginny, from the moment that Draco touched her, she had halted her breathing. She gulped.

"Well… So long as it would be just tonight… I guess that's fine."

Draco smiled and took her tiny hand in his.

"Just tonight it is then."

xXxXxXxX

Draco had to suppress a chuckle when Ginny came out of the bathroom in one of his tee-shirts that he had outgrown long ago. It came to her ankles, and as ridiculous as she looked… He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was as well.

Her long, red, ringlet curls hung down to her hips. She was now dry, so her freckles were now more prominent.

Her blue eyes were so vibrant against his dark flat… Everything seemed so dim, and then Ginny was just so…Bright. Even in the misery she was in now, she still made the room light up.

She walked up to him and stood, forehead to chest with him.

"Thanks again. I really appreciate what you've done for me…"

Before he could stop himself, Draco tilted her small chin with one finger. His chest heart was pounding in his chest louder than he was sure it ever had. It was all he could do not to press her lips against hers and push her onto the couch. Instead however, he gave her forehead a gentle peck.

"If you need anything, my room is right by yours."

Ginny nodded, her cheeks a gentle pink.

"I'll see you in the morning little one."
