The next few days passed in a blur and before they knew it Luna, Hermione, and Ginny were back at Hermione's house. They had just returned and found it best to travel together so they all went back to Hermione's and then went their separate ways from there.
The last week in Hawaii had been amazing and all three of them had had a great time, but Ginny knew it was time to get back to her everyday life and she also knew that she had to face everything that she was running away from, especially Harry and Draco.
After goodbyes and making sure she had everything Ginny turned on the spot and found herself back in her apartment that she had been trying to avoid. After setting everything on the ground she flipped on the lights and was surprised when she saw the surroundings. At her kitchen table she saw a candlelit dinner set up and soft music was playing in the background. She wasn't sure how she had missed the music or the delicious smell of the food when she walked in the door, but then again a certain person had occupied her thoughts. It took her a moment to figure out who the culprit was that had set this up, but then her eyes landed on the man who was sitting on her couch watching her take in her surroundings.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Ginny tried to demand angrily, but she found it very hard to be angry with this man.
"I figured I'd make you dinner and I was hoping that you would give me a chance to explain everything that happened the other night," The man replied.
"How the hell did you get in here?" Ginny asked, trying to remember if she put up all of the locking charms.
"You seem to forget that I am also a wizard and that I rented this place for you," Draco replied walking towards her until he was able to take her hand in his and looking into her eyes, he added, "Please let me explain Ginny."
After a few seconds Ginny reluctantly said, "Fine." She would be lying if she said she was not curious of what he was getting at or if she said she didn't want to know what had happened between Draco and Serena.
After a while of eating in silence, Ginny finally said, "So, what is your explanation?"
Draco looked into her eyes and thought for a moment and then answered, "First of all I want to say that you jumped to the wrong conclusion when you saw Serena the other day."
"I know what I saw Draco," Ginny stubbornly replied.
"Yes, but you assumed something that wasn't there. You made yourself see things that weren't really happening and you took everything the wrong way and left before I could explain it to you."
"Well, then explain it to me because clearly I don't understand."
"If you would stop interrupting me, then maybe I could," Draco retorted and then continued, "I didn't know that Serena was coming back and I was under the impression that we were through. Apparently she thought differently and that is also what you thought when you saw the two of us, but you need to know that I had already decided a long time ago that if she every decided to come back I would tell her what I am about to tell you," Draco said and then paused.
"Which is?" Ginny questioned.
"Which is that things are over between the two of us, Serena and me that is. I told her I had moved on and was better off without her and I truly thought I was until you reacted the way you did. I was never planning on ending things with you Ginny, I was ending things with Serena and that's what I told her that night. That's what I wanted to tell you that night and also that day at St. Mungo's, but you wouldn't allow me to say anything. You rushed out of both places before I could tell you what had happened, but now I guess you know," Draco explained to Ginny.
Ginny was shocked, her assumption had been way off and she was starting to feel guilty about what she had done. Slowly she asked, "You weren't going to leave me for Serena?"
"Hell no!" Draco said taking Ginny's hands, "Hell no Ginny! I love YOU! Not Serena!"
Ginny sat there taking in what he had just said; he had just told her that he loved her. As this realization was setting in Draco spoke up once again and informed Ginny, "By the way my dad is back in Azkaban."
"He is?"
"Yes," Draco paused and then added, "Ginny, I've been thinking."
"About what?" Ginny asked started to get worried.
"About us."
"What about us?"
"If there is going to be an 'us' then I think we need to try and work things out with your family," Draco voiced his concerns.
"Why do you think this?" Ginny questioned.
"While you were gone I ran into your family at Gringott's and they were worried about you. They're worried about you being with me and I don't want you family to be mad at you or me for that matter."
"Why do you care what my family thinks about either of us?"
"Because you never know when it's all going to get taken away from you."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that something could happen that you'd lose one of them, like you've already lost Fred."
"Where's this all coming from?" Ginny said surprised at what was happening and shocked because she had never seen this side of Draco before.
"I realized when my dad was sent back to Azkaban that I have lost everyone in my family, first my mum and then my dad. I've never had the family you have and I don't want you to lose it because of me. I know what it's like and I don't want you to go through that."
"Wow, I didn't know you felt that way. You want to be on good terms with my family even if they do hate you."
"As much as I can be. To tell you the truth Gin, you're the only one I have left and I don't want to lose you because of how your family feels about me. I want to try and fix it, I'll do whatever it takes."
"Fine, but I don't know how well my family will take this."
"I know, but I want to at least try to change how they see me."
At that moment without thinking Ginny stood up from the table and moving over to where Draco was sitting she kissed him with as much passion as she could muster, she had never seen this side of Draco before, but she would be lying if she said it didn't get to her. Before she knew it he was standing and she was leading him into her room and showing him how much she had missed him and telling him without words how much she loved him. Ginny soon relieved Draco of his shirt in one swift motion and then moved on fumbling with his belt. Both garments found their way to the floor as Draco pulled Ginny's shirt off of her and continued his exploration of her neck and downwards. Ginny found her way back to Draco's warm lips and kissing pulled him back on to the bed.
Ginny once again fell asleep in Draco's arms without regrets and she was sure she was in love with none other than Draco Malfoy.
