Chapter 7
Dinner at Malfoy Manor
I get back home
And you're gone
Step inside
And it's cold
You've been away so long
This feels wrong
Being
Without your smile
Without Your Smile, Evermore
Ginny looked at the dinner table and smiled. It looked perfect, she really didn't understand the purpose of the evening, but Draco said Pansy had owled him and he had invited her to dinner, Ginny didn't question it, it wasn't her place to ask him…she might even sound jealous or something and she defiantly wasn't.
She heard the bell of the front door ring through out the house, she found herself almost running to see who was there, as she appeared at the entrance she saw Harry being ushered in.
"Harry!" she squealed delighted.
He looked at her, his face breaking into a huge smile, he pulled her into a hug and kissed her gently on the lips, Ginny felt her heart flutter in her chest as his lips grazed over her own.
In the letter she'd written him she'd told him she had feelings for him, that she cared about him and wanted something with him, they had something between them a comfortable air or a secure feeing that surrounded them and she wasn't going to give it up just because Malfoy didn't know the boundaries where business was concerned.
He handed her a box of chocolates and wine, "For dinner", he said smiling.
Narcissa appeared at the base of the stairs and smiled at Harry, "Welcome, Harry."
Harry smiled slightly unsure, "Mrs. Malfoy", he replied politely as he kissed her hand.
Narcissa smiled as him softly, as Jasmine came running down the corridor, her eyes feel on Harry who had his arm around Ginny's waste, she scowled, "What are you doing with my Ginny?" she asked.
Harry looked suddenly very unsure and uncomfortable under the gaze of the small child who was openly glaring at him.
"You have to share me now", Ginny said smiling, "He's my boyfriend now."
Jasmine didn't say anything her face blank as her eyes feel onto Harry's face, "Hello Harry", she said sweetly, as a smile broke out onto her face.
"Hi Jasmine", Harry replied smiling, "That's a very pretty outfit", he said.
Jasmine smiled as she twirled, she wore a lavender dress that cut right below her knew with puffy white sleeves and a big white bow tied at the back, she wore white socks with lavender frills and lavender sip on shoes.
"Draco bought it for me."
Harry smiled and nodded unsure what to say, "Potter", a voice drawled from the foyer, Harry looked up at Draco.
"Malfoy", he said with a nod.
Draco's eyes lingered on the way Harry's arm rested on Ginny's waste as he felt a stab of jealousy.
There was another ring on the doorbell, as the ghost butler answered it. Standing in the doorway was a woman in a light yellow dress, her long black hair around her face, and her big eyes shining.
"Hello" she said, as she stepped inside.
"Mrs. Malfoy", she greeted Narcissa with a hesitant smile.
"Pansy", Narcissa said with a smile and a hug, "I haven't seen you in a long four years."
Pansy smiled and nodded, "I know… I wasn't to sure what you'd think of me."
Narcissa smiled, "I'm very proud of you."
Pansy smiled brightly at the older woman, her eyes resting on Ginny and Harry who stood behind her.
"Hey", she said smiling at them.
"Hi Pansy", Ginny said smiling back at her.
"How are you Ginny?" she asked.
"I'm okay, You?"
"I'm pretty good, actually I'm engaged."
Ginny blinked. What?! She though as she looked at Draco shocked then back at Pansy, Pansy caught this and laughed, "To Blaise Zabani", she added.
Ginny felt her heart slam in her chest, Draco wasn't involved with her, she felt a tinge in her cheeks. Why did that seem to make a difference to her feeling towards him suddenly? She wondered.
Pansy stuck out her hand on it was a diamond, Ginny gasped, it wasn't small.
Pansy grinned, "It's in February next year, I'll have to right you and Harry an invitation."
She smiled at Harry, who nodded, "Draco" she said smiling turning to him as he was now standing at the foot of the foyer, she went and gave him a hug, "Blaise says you owe him 10 galleons, apparently you thought I'd turn him down!"
Draco looked sheepish, "Sorry thought you'd never settle down."
"Well I did! And I'm very much in love!" she added.
"So he didn't make it back in time?" Draco asked referring to Blaise.
"No, he's stuck in Indonesia, they had another sighting of Petirgrew."
Draco nodded, "I suppose I got lucky, I'm stuck doing business work for Malfoy Finance."
Pansy laughed at him, "Office work, Draco Malfoy that is the last thing I can see you doing."
"It's all he does", Ginny said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Pansy smiled, "The only time Draco does paperwork is when he needs a distraction… and with you and Jasmine around I don't see why he should need it", she smiled as she looked around.
"Where is Jasmine by the way?" she asked, noticing the little girl's absence.
Ginny looked around unsure, "She was her right before."
"I'm here!" a voice called from the corridor as it was followed with running footsteps as she appeared in the doorway, "Yansy Pansy!" Jasmine cried in delight as she ran to the women, and hugged her.
"Hey Jazzie Fizzlie" she said.
"Where's Blaise?" she asked looking around.
"Work, but he asked me to give you this", Pansy said as she pulled out a small unicorn key chain.
Jasmine grinned, "He got me a unicorn one!"
Ginny looked questioningly at Pansy who smiled, "He supplies her with a collection of key chains, she's scored 49 of Blaise now."
Jasmine grinned, "Remember that big box in my room?" she asked Ginny.
Ginny smiled and nodded, "That's full of key chains!"
"Dinner is served" a voice interrupted, everyone turned to the ghost.
"Thanks Jeffery", Draco said as he ushered everyone into the dinning room.
Draco took his usually seat at the head of the table, Narcissa at his side and Jasmine who usually to the seat on the opposite side Narcissa decided to be different, running over and sat next to Narcissa, "Ginny", she said sweetly.
"Yes dear", Ginny replied smiling.
"Can you sit opposite me?" she asked, Ginny smiled as she nodded sitting opposite her, Harry taking the set next to her further away from Draco, and Pansy ending up next to Draco.
They all started eating, "So do you have arrangements made for the wedding?" Ginny asked Pansy, she smiled and shock her head.
"Not yet, but I do know what dress I'm getting."
Ginny smiled, as suddenly a large fart erupted through the dinning hall.
Everyone looked shocked not really knowing where it came from, after an awkward silence, Ginny turned back to Pansy, "Where is the dress from?" she asked politely all of them seeming to have silently deciding to ignore the noise.
"Um.." Pansy said looking flustered, "I got it from a shop in Diagonal Alley Madam Sil-"
Another fart erupted throughout the room, this time coming obviously from Harry who looked completely shocked.
"Erh.." he stared as suddenly he farted again.
"Potter!" Draco snapped, "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"I don't know", Harry said; his eyes wide, another loud fart erupted into the hall.
"Potter, stop that!" Draco snapped as the three women at the table looked mortified.
Jasmine was looking amused at Harry, "Don't worry Mr. Potter it's completely natural."
Harry's blushed only deepened, it stopped after that, and every decided to leave it, Draco mother however had a look of horror plastered on her plate.
"Harry, are you ok?" Ginny asked softly.
Harry nodded weakly as he picked up his spoon again, as he raised the spoon to him mouth it went flying and hit him in the eye, "OW!" he yelped.
Everyone looked at him again, seeing soup running down his shirt, "Potter, didn't anybody teach you how to behave at a dinner table!?" Draco asked coldly.
Harry glared at him, "I don't know what's wrong!"
"Apart from that fact, that you're a complete retard case?" Draco offered rudely.
"Draco", his mother snapped, "That is no way to speak to Ginny's guest!"
Draco scowled as shut up, Ginny smiled and mouthed 'thank you' to Narcissa who smiled and nodded giving Harry an unreadable look.
They started to eat dinner again, as Harry raised his spoon cautiously everybody's eyes where on him, he tried to put it in his mouth put it ended up going up his nose.
"EWWW" Jasmine said as she scrunched up her nose in disgust.
As Harry started coughing as the soup went up his nose, "Harry?" Ginny asked alarmed as all of a sudden his whole face went limp and he seemed to start dribbling.
"-iny" he said as drool feel into his soup, the mixture of horror and amusement graced Draco's face.
"Oh My God, Harry" Ginny asked worried, 'What's the matter?" she asked unsure.
"Don- now", he said as drool seemed to drip from his mouth, all of a sudden he started farting again.
This time extremely loudly, the room started to shake, he farted again and shot up into the air and ended up landing on the floor, causing Narcissa and Pansy to scream in alarm, as Ginny ran over to him.
"What did you do!?" Ginny demanded looking at Draco, who looked at her shocked.
"I didn't do anything!" Draco protested.
Ginny glared at him, her eyes boiling with hatred, she turned to the rest of the occupants, "Would you excuse us… I'll take him and see what I can do."
Narcissa nodded, "Of Course Dear", she said softly.
Pansy looked at her and blinked rather unsure what was going on, 'Um… nice to see you again." she offered.
Ginny smiled and nodded, as she took her wand and pointed it at the now burping Harry, "Perficous Totalous."
His body snapped together, Ginny sighed, "Wingadium Leviousa" she whispered as he started floating as Ginny walked out the room him following behind.
The door closing, the second it did Draco fell into a fit of laughter, he started laughing so hard his eyes started to water, Narcissa scowled at her son, "Draco Malfoy!" she snapped.
"What?!" Draco said defensively.
"How could you do that? He's Ginny's boyfriend?!"
"I didn't do it!" he protested.
Narcissa glared at him, "Draco, you are the only one here with any resentment towards Harry."
Draco scowled, "Correction, I hate Potter."
"You apologize to him!" Narcissa snapped.
"I didn't do it!" Draco protested.
"Draco Thomas Malfoy", Narcissa said threateningly.
Draco looked extremely annoyed and angry, "Mother", he said slowly.
"Auntie Narcissa he didn't do it."
All eyes turned to a guilty looking Jasmine, they all waited for her to continue a frown appeared on Draco's face as he looked at her.
''I did'', she admitted.
Draco broke into another fit of laughter, earning a disapproving looking from his Mother and Pansy.
He sobered when this happened, however he didn't bother hiding his smile, "I'm impressed", he murmured.
"Draco!" scolded his mother, she turned to Jasmine, "Jasmine why did you do that to Mr. Potter?" she asked.
"Because…" Jasmine said coloring, "Mr. Potter isn't meant to be with Ginny."
"Why do you think that?" Pansy asked softly, speaking for the first time.
Jasmine looked at her, "Because, Ginny's meant to be with Draco."
Draco chocked at this, "What!?" he demanded
Jasmine blinked, "I said-"
"Jasmine" Draco said sternly, "There is nothing going on between me and Miss Weasley."
"But!" Jasmine protested.
"No, Jasmine." Draco said coldly.
Jasmine looked at him upset, a tear running down her face, Narcissa glared at her son, who was hit with a sudden stab of guilt.
Draco looked at Jasmine, "Jasmine come with me?" he said softly.
He went over to her and picked up the little girl on the verge of tears, "Honey, I didn't mean to get angry."
"He's not over her", Pansy earning her an angry look from Draco.
"I am!" he snapped.
"You were in love with her Draco."
"Why does everyone keep saying that!?" he asked irritated, "I wasn't in love with her!"
Pansy scoffed while Narcissa looked at her son, sighing inwardly, he was stubborn, he couldn't see but he was still in love with her. You never get over true love she thought sadly.
Draco took Jasmine in his arms up to Ginny's room, he sighed as he pulled out his wand, "Invibulous", he whispered.
The two of them became invisible before he creaked open the door and their lying on Ginny's bed was her and Harry, Ginny's arm's around him, "I'm sorry Harry."
Harry smiled softly and nodded, "It's okay Ginny", he whispered as he put an arm around her, Ginny relaxed into his arms as Harry rested his chin on her head.
Draco felt a sudden aching in his chest and his throat felt liked it was clogged, he slowly closed the door, "Revelious."
Draco looked at Jasmine he crouched so he was at eyelevel with her, "That is two people who care about each other."
Jasmine looked, hurt and upset.
"Do you love her?" she asked softly.
Draco sighed and looked at her, "I don't know."
The words made his eyes grow large as he looked at Jasmine who looked at him curiously, but didn't say another word.
"How about we go back to dinner now?' he offered.
Jasmine nodded, as she took his hand and the two of them walked down the corridors, Draco's heart aching, while Jasmine was lost in her own thoughts.
Draco sighed as he lay on his couch, Potter had come back down to dinner and Jasmine apologized for doing that to him, claiming that it was a warning never to hurt her Ginny, Draco had been quiet through out the rest of dinner, he couldn't bring himself to try and entertain conversation or even really look up from his dinner, he just had been tired in the end he had concluded.
When all the guest had left he had excused himself and went to hide in his office, trying to work but it didn't seem to happen so now he was on the couch gazing into the roaring fire his mind absent not really thinking of anything.
The door suddenly flew open as Ginny stormed in, her eyes on fire, "You put her up to it?!" she said, referring to Jasmine's previous actions.
Draco scowled, "Why, Weasley would I do that?" he asked as he sat up.
Ginny glared at him, "Because you're out to ruin my life!" she snapped.
Draco glared back at her as he stood, "I have better things to do than you're your happy little ending with Potter."
Ginny glared, "Well, thanks to today's episode me and Harry have decided that maybe we should be friends! So are you happy!?" she growled.
Draco blinked, his heart slamming in his chest, what?! He thought suddenly feeling his mood brighten. He didn't let it show, "I don't care", he growled as he brushed past her and stormed out of his office, "Goodnight."
Ginny spun around after him, "Oh don't you walk away from me!" she roared as she stormed into the corridor grabbing the back of his cloak pulling him back, he spun around and within a matter of seconds had her pressed against a wall his legs wedged in between hers, one hand holding her arm above her head the other around her waste pulling her to him.
His steel grey eyes staring right into hers, Ginny felt shots of electricity all over her body, as she glared at him, "Don't" he said softly his lips inches from her, "make me do something you'll regret", he said as he looked at her for a moment longer, Ginny looked at him her body aching crying for him to kiss her, she knew what he was threatening and right now she wanted him to kiss her, she wanted him to care, god she wished he cared.
"Because Weasley, messing with a Malfoy is dangerous", he growled as his lips brushed over hers, Ginny sighed, as she moaned softly.
Her eyes closing slowly as he lips lingered on hers, but then suddenly his words echoed in her head, Malfoy.
Her eyes fluttered open as she glared at him, Draco Malfoy was once again succeeding in toying with her emotions. Furiously she pushed him away from her.
"I hate you."
Draco looked at her darkly, "Well, excuse me for not being like Scarface Potter!" he snapped as he lifted his hands from her.
Ginny glared at him, "You could never be like Harry, Ever".
Draco looked at her his eyes unreadable, "I said Goodnight Miss Weasley", he said his voice emotionless as he turned and strode off
Leaving Ginny regretting her last words, Draco had helped save the wizarding world, he and Harry had together stopped Voldermort, sure they hated each other with a passion, but they were allies when it came to the fight against Voldermort. She regretted her words, but right now she was to hurt and shaken, she wasn't going to say sorry.
