A/N: Wow I can't believe all the reviews I got immediately!! Thanks so much to everybody who reviewed, you're the best!

As promised, here's a light skimming over of the previous extremely fluffy chapter, for those of you who didn't read it. Draco was released from the Infirmary before breakfast, and Ginny went to pick him up. They basically teased each other through the halls down to the Great Hall, and Draco's nickname became Sunshine and Ginny's nickname became Angel. After breakfast, the two run off to "their" willow tree and spend the entire day there, both of them falling asleep. When they wake up, the mood becomes abruptly serious as Draco remembers about his father, but he manages to assure Ginny that it'll be all right. Ginny gets rather worked up, which is bad for her brothers when she meets them all in the Common Room later on. What basically happens is that she agrees to let Draco meet her brothers—all six of them (poor Draco)—and then leaves in the manner of a true lady. So yeah, I suppose you could say I'm trying to show Ginny as not just a girl but blossoming into a woman

Setting: Hogwarts; Draco's 4th year and Ginny's 3rd; NONE OF THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS EVER HAPPENED UNLESS I REFER TO THEM IN THIS FANFIC

Disclaimer: Characters are JKR's. HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY THIS?! I ONLY MAKE UP THE PLOTLINE IN THIS STORY!!

Fred was the first to speak. "She's—"

"—grown up," George finished.

Chapter Seven—MEET THE BOYS (part 1)

"You promised them WHAT?!" Draco's voice squeaked as he tried to hide his terror.

"That you would meet them all," Ginny said calmly. "Don't be so loud, Draco, people will stare." She took his hand soothingly and continued, "They're only my brothers; they aren't dragons."

"But Charlie studies dragons in Romania!"

"And I'll be there, so if they even dare do anything to you, I'll attack them and then I'll write off to Mum and she can take care of them," Ginny finished, ignoring Draco's last comment—or rather, squeak.

Draco tipped his head back and tried to breathe calmly. Merlin… Just my luck to fall for the girl with six overprotective big brothers… As if she knew what he was thinking, Ginny brought his head back down and gave him a small kiss. "There, doesn't the thought that you can get those anytime you want make this all worth it?" she smiled, wheedling.

Grudgingly, Draco allowed a small smile to appear on his face. "Yes, I suppose it does," he replied before he swooped down and gave her a proper reply.

"I think we just snogged for three hours straight," Ginny laughed as she came up for breath. As Draco began to speak, she shushed him and said, "The noon bells are ringing—hear them? It was barely eight when this started."

"Shite," Draco growled, and pushed himself off the grass. "I've still got loads of homework. I'm going to the library now to work on it."

"I'll bring you some lunch and keep you company. I need to do my own homework as well," nodded Ginny. The two split up with another chaste kiss, Ginny for the Great Hall and Draco for the Slytherin dorms to grab his homework.

At the Gryffindor table, she grabbed two plates and loaded them both up. After casting a quick Levitation Spell on them both, she also grabbed two flasks of pumpkin juice.

"Where are you going with all that food, Gin?" asked Ron, but, seeing as how his mouth was full, there was no possible way Ginny knew what he was saying.

"Come again?"

Ron swallowed, and tried again. "I said where are you going with all that food?"

"Library."

"With food for TWO?" asked Harry, befuddled.

"Study-date."

"With Malfoy," Hermione guessed, knowing immediately.

Ginny nodded and left.

The Trio looked at each other, nodded, and stood up as one, leaving to follow the auburn-haired girl.

In the library, Draco was working his—err—fingers off. Damned McGonagall giving me so damned much of this damned Transfiguration homework… She just hate me because I'm not in her damned Gryffindor. Draco worked like a madman, rushing to finish his Transfiguration homework and still have time for his Potions essay and History of Magic essay. He still had to practice that odd spell for Charms—what was it again?

Before he could remember, he felt someone wrap her arms around his shoulders and bend down to give him a light peck on the cheek. "Mind if I join?"

"You know I won't," he smiled, looking up at his girlfriend. He pulled out a chair for her next to him, and noticed the floating food behind her. "Err…Angel?"

"Yes?"

"The food—?"

"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me." Ginny reached behind her and brought the two plates and two flasks down, setting them in front of her and Draco. "Dig in!"

Draco felt a wave of gratitude well up for this bright, kind, intelligent girl—my girlfriend, he thought proudly. "Thanks, love," he smiled, and began to eat.

An hour had passed, and Ginny was still perturbed about her Potions essay. "Draco?" she ventured.

Draco glanced up at her, blonde hair slightly disheveled and ink spots all over his hands. "Hmm?"

"Think you could help me a bit with this Potions essay?" She gestured at the parchment before her. "I'm supposed to talk about how to make a Blood-Replenishing Potion, its uses, and its history. I can find most of it—I'm just stumped at where it asks for the effects of the potion on someone who has no injury."

"Oh, that." Draco reached over and consulted her Potions book for a moment. "Hmm… 'The drinker will have a replenished blood and recover the blood he or she has just lost.' I suppose it would be that nothing would happen, seeing as how that person would not have lost any blood and so you would basically add nothing."

"Thanks, Sunshine," smiled Ginny, and reached over to fix his hair. "Your hair's messed up."

Draco laughed and ran a hand through said hair, ruining all of Ginny's efforts. "Yes, but don't you think this makes me look more sexy?" He smirked.

Ginny gave an affected sigh and pretended to look away.

The couple jostled and teased each other for a few moments, but then returned to their separate homeworks.

Eventually, it began to get dark.

"Love, I think dinner's about to start," Draco said softly. "C'mon."

Ginny packed her things up with a sweep of her wand, and grabbed her plates. "Oh, no!" she suddenly cried. "I completely forgot—I have to send my monthly letter off to Mum and Dad! I'm so sorry, Draco, but I've got to run."

"Go ahead, love, I'll see you later," nodded Draco as he finished packing. Ginny gave him a quick kiss and flew out the library door, heading for her dorms.

Draco cast a quick Levitation spell on the plates and flasks, and began to leave as well.

"Don't leave just yet, Malfoy."

Surprised, Draco turned around. I thought Ginny and I were the only ones in here… Apparently not, he sighed as he caught sight of Hermione. "What do you want, Gr—Hermione?"

The brunette blinked confusedly at his use of her proper name. "Umm, I think Ron here has a few things to say," she said dazedly and backed down.

"Come with me," Ron said, stepping out of the shadows with Harry.

"Just let me call out a house elf and get them to take the plates away." After Draco had done so, he began to follow the Trio as they walked out of the library with a sense of foreboding.

GW

"Have any of you seen Draco?" Ginny was heard to ask through the halls after dinner. She was getting worried—it had been over an hour and she hadn't seen Draco at the dinner table, nor had he picked her up at the entrance as he usually would have done if he had missed dinner. A nagging suspicion tugged at the back of her mind, but she brushed it away angrily; she had no time to deal with stupid hunches.

DM

Draco was blindfolded and led down corridors for what seemed like hours to his unusually anxious mind. They're gonna kill me… They're gonna slit my throat and dump my body in the lake, and I'll never be able to tell Ginny how much I love her… Suddenly, an even more horrible thought came to his mind. They're gonna castrate me!! Shit, I gotta get out of here!!

Before he could make a move, the procession suddenly stopped and he stumbled into the person in front of him, who, incidentally, happened to be Charlie—the dragon tamer. "Watch where you're going, Ferret." Evidently, his brothers had told him about the ferret incident about two months ago. Draco silently cursed Alastor Moody for the hundredth time. Stupid old man with his stupid old wand with his stupid old problems…

"Okay, we're here," Hermione called back to the people behind her. "You can take the blindfold off of it now."

"I'm an it now?!" Draco screeched angrily.

"Yup." With a flick of her wand, Hermione dropped the blindfold smoothly off of Draco's eyes. "Why don't you people do what I tell you to do? Do I have to do everything myself?" She rolled her eyes exasperatedly and turned on her heels.

As if commanded to, the Weasleys and Pot—Harry followed her, Harry prodding Draco in the back with his wand to make him walk.
