"There is no greater power on this earth than story."

CONCLUSION - the end (sort of).
Ginny didn't publish her first book with Serpent Press.
She did, however, take Draco up on his invitation of dinner.
Repeatedly.
And, after a couple of dinners, he finally took her up on the offer to stay the night.
Her second book she did allow Draco to publish. It went straight to the top of the Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly awards lists. She won her Golden Quill.
After they'd been together for four years, Draco proposed and Ginny said yes. They had a small wedding; family and close friends only.
Sometime later, after Ginny had published her fifth book (although they never mentioned the fourth book. It didn't do well and she wasn't proud of it), Draco picked up his quill again and began to write once more.
He wasn't quite as polished as his wife but it was good and Serpent Press did a small run of it (the beauty of owning your own publishing house). He didn't care if no one bought it, really, he just wanted to try. Just wanted to have the pleasure of seeing his name up there on his bookshelves along with some of his favourite authors.
They moved up to Acorn Bank. They still kept it open for the public at certain times of the day but it felt right they should live there.
It was a significant part of their story, of who they became. And, of course, it was where they properly (almost) met.
