Chap. 10- Unknown Territory

Thanks to all that reviewed!

Last Time:

They smiled at each other.

"Would you like to go to our old meeting spot?"

Ginny nodded her head and they made their way up towards the Room of Requirements. They paced the length before the door concentrating on what they needed.

Finally a door appeared and they walked inside.

Now:

The two walked inside and looked around. It was just like always had been. Lots of books, a cozy place to snuggle, and off to the right there was a door that lead to a bedroom.

Ginny gasped and glared slightly at Draco.

"Well we didn't need that part of the room."

Draco grinned sheepishly at her.

"Sorry couldn't help it...old habits die hard Red."

Ginny gasped at his old nickname for her.

"Oh my...I haven't heard that name in 11 years Draco Malfoy..."

"I know..."

"You were the only one who I allowed to call me that Draco...Don't go bringing our little secret up to people..."

She winked at him and flung herself down on the couch. He couldn't help but grin. He lifted her legs and sat down. Ginny stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

"Don't tempt me Ms. Weasley..."

"You wouldn't Ferret."

Draco places a hand over his heart.

"You hurt me Red..."

They sat there bickering and bantering between each other.

"So how do you feel about teaching tomorrow?"

"I'm nervous as hell to be honest."

"I know what you mean...I don't start teaching for another week though..."

"You got the easy job," Draco replied and pouted.

Ginny couldn't help but laugh and grabbed his face in her hand.

"Aww poor Draco..."

He smirked at her and pounced on her. She screamed slightly in shock.

"You are going to pay Red..."

He nuzzled his face into Ginny's neck and she laughed.

Finally he pulled away from her and grinned. Ginny felt herself smile in return.

"You what to know what Red?"

Ginny glared playfully back at him before replying, "What?"

"Being with you makes me feel like a teenager again."

Ginny felt his hands on either sides of her face. She looked into his eyes and saw his face coming closer to her's. He kissed her quickly and pulled away for a few seconds. He kissed her again passionately and nibbled her on the bottom lip. Ginny opened her mouth and felt his tongue massage her's. She tangled her hands into his hair, pulling on the ends slightly, knowing he loved it when she did that.

Surely enough he moaned in her mouth. Ginny grinned against his lips.

Finally they pulled apart and breathed.

"We had better go Gin...It's lunch now..."

Ginny nodded her head and grabbed his hand when he offered it. They walked down to the Great Hall and Draco sat next to Ginny. The professors all smiled at the two.

They ate quickly and saw Renee looking at them. She waved and they both waved back. Dumbledore chuckled in amusement.

"So Draco...did you get everything you need for tomorrow?"

"Yes I did...Albus."

"Renee is in your first class...along with the Gryffindors."

"Ahh Slytherins and Gryffindors together as always."

"You must be estatic that she's in Slytherin."

"Yes I am rather proud though Ginny wasn't as enthusiastic at first."

Ginny stuck her tongue out at him and grinned.

"Ahh you kids make us professors feel old. It brings back old times..."

Draco and Ginny grinned at each other. They made their way up to Ginny's apartment and settled on the couch.

"So when do you want to go on another date?"

"I have no idea. Whenever is fine with me..."

"How about tomorrow night?"

"That sounds good."

All of a sudden there was a knock and Renee stuck her head in the door.

"Mum...Dad..."

"Come in Renee."

She shut the door behind herself and came over to her parents. She sat on her father's lap and faced her mum.

"How are you darling?"

"I'm fine mum...I was just wondering if I could talk to you..."

Ginny grinned at this.

"Do you want to talk alone or with your father present?"

"I want to talk to both of you..."

"Alright Renee...what is this about?"

"Well you know my friends?"

"Yes I've meet your friends..."

"Well the thing is Cyan was talking to me yesterday..."

"Yes..."

"Well he asked me to be his girlfriend..."

Ginny could feel her jaw drop. She was already getting offers for a boyfriend? Ginny hadn't gotten asked out till she was at least 14.

She looked at Draco, who looked as clueless as she did.

"Renee darling. Will you excuse your father and I? We'd like to discuss this in private...Draco if you would."

Ginny got up and made her way to her room. Draco settled Renee on the couch and followed Ginny. She locked the door and then grabbed her wand and put a silencing charm over the room. She turned to Draco, who was sitting on her bed.

"What is your opinion?"

"Honestly? I have no clue...I think she's a bit young but they are only eleven so it's not like when we were dating. They probably will only hold hands, but I think this is your decision more than mine..."

Ginny smiled at Draco before joining him on the bed.

"She's your daughter too and all decisions made now are equal. Alright?"

Draco smiled at her and grabbed her hands, squeezing them gently.

"What do you think?"

Ginny sighed and laid down on the bed. She took her hands from Draco and rubbed her face.

"I have no idea Draco. This is unknown territory...I didn't even get asked out till I was 14, but that was probably because of my six older brothers."

He chuckled at this.

"Renee is use to getting whatever she wants...I know I spoil her. Do you know anything about this Zabini kid?"

"Not really other than the fact that he's Blaise's kid...which really doesn't help out because I knew Blaise when we were kids and boy was he a player..."

"Ok then...I didn't want to know that...you know what they say...like father, like son..."

"I suppose we could let her date him if that's what she wants..."

"Do you think it's wise for someone her age to be dating? For Merlin's sake she hasn't even hit puberty..."

Draco grinned at this...

"Well when she does, we'll have to beat the boys away with a stick if she's anything like her mother."

Ginny narrowed her eyes at him.

"Oh you!"

Draco laughed and held her close.

"What are we going to tell her?"

"I guess we can say it's up to her, and see what she wants..."

Draco nodded and pulled Ginny up off the bed. They made their way out of the bedroom and sat on the couch facing Renee.

"Renee sweetie...do you like Cyan?"

Renee nodded at her mother.

"Well your father and I discussed it and we have decided that it's your decision. We're happy you came to discuss this with us and hope you feel you can talk to us about anything that is going on in your life."

Renee hugged her mum and then her dad.

"You guys are the best. I'm going to go tell Cyan."

She ran out of the room and Ginny sighed.

"God this is so hard raising a child...I never gave my mom enough credit raising the seven of us..."

Draco pulled her close.

"You've done a great job so far Ginny. If I had to choose anyone to mother any of my children, I would pick you in a heartbeat."

Ginny laughed and hugged Draco to her.

"You know what? I think I'll keep you around Draco Malfoy."

Well I'm leaving it there...I hope you like it...Please read and review and tell me what you think of it...Sorry it's been so long since I updated!
