Chapter Nine

Ginevra woke up Saturday morning to a knock at the door. "Hang on a Bloody minute I am coming," she yelled.

When she opened the door she found Draco standing there smiling at her. "What is so funny?"

"You are most definitely, not a morning person," he said smiling at her.

"Whatever, I need a cup of coffee to function, come in." Ginny turned and walked into the kitchen.

Draco stood and watched her while she was gathering everything for her coffee. Just admiring how even right out of bed he loved the way her face looked, and her body had that slow drag. He was broken from his thoughts when she spoke to him.

"Would you like anything?" Ginny asked walking her coffee to the table.

"No that's ok, when we get to the Manor, mother will fill you with tea." Draco said taking a seat at the table.

"You are here early, I wasn't expecting you here till 9:30."

"I woke up early this morning, couldn't go back to sleep," He said, as he shrugged his shoulders, "Thought I would spend some time with you this morning," he said smiling at her.

After she finished her coffee, she told him she was going to take a shower and get dressed, to make himself at home. After taking a shower and dressing she pulled her hair up in a pony tail. She walked back into the living room, and stood there watching him closely. He was looking at a photo album that Julie had given her, he had this smile on his face that was almost odd for a Malfoy.

"See something you like, Mr. Malfoy?" Ginny asked walking over to him.

"I was just looking at these pictures of you. When did you put the highlights in your hair?" He had noticed that her hair was the same as it is now in every picture.

"I did it before I left home, it was one of the last spells that I done. That way if they came looking for me I wouldn't stick out." Ginny explained to him.

"Understandable, so do you ever think of changing it back?" Draco asked

"Not really, I have gotten use to it, plus no magic remember," she said

"Speaking of which you need to get your wand," said Draco putting the album down and getting up.

"It is in my room, the trunk is in the top of the closet," said Ginny walking to her room.

When Draco walked into her room he was shocked to see how nice it was. Not that her flat wasn't nice but, her room was exquisite. She had a queen size Florentine bed, with light sky blue beddings. The carpet was a cream color, she had Antique tables and a dresser. It screamed Ginny. He saw her walk over and open a door, so he walked over to her. Her closet was bigger then he expected, it was like a walk in room. She turned the light on and pointed to the trunk.

"Would you mind levitating this out for me, it is quite heavy?" she asked him.

"No problem," he pulled out his wand and cast the spell on it. "Where would you like me to put it?"

"Just put it by my dresser, if you don't mind," she told him. He nodded his head and dropped it by the dresser.

She bent down by the trunk, and unlocked the lock with the key, from a necklace he had never seen her wear before. She then lifted the lid to find her past, all of her things were in there school books, old robes parchment, quills, and finally her wand box. She looked up at him and smiled, she put the box down and loaded everything back into the trunk.

"Are you ready to go?" asked Draco.

"As ready as I will ever be," commented Ginny

With that said she took his hand and Draco apparated them to the Manor. When they arrived there Draco called for the house elf. "Spinch"

"You called Spinch, Master Draco?" stuttered the house elf.

"Yes, where are my mother and father?" asked Draco

"They are in the Dinning room sir, awaiting your arrival." said the elf.

"Thank you, tell them that Ginevra and I have arrived, and are on our way."

"Yes sir." the house elf was gone.

Draco looked at Ginny and offered her his arm, "Shall we my lady?"

"Yes we shall, kind sir," said Ginny

When they entered the dinning room Lucius stood to greet Ginny. "Ginevra it is so nice to have you here. I was beginning to think that Draco would never bring you over," said Lucius giving the back of Ginny's hand a light kiss before dropping it.

"Thank you for having me sir, it was very nice of you. I hope I am not intruding." said Ginny

"Oh heavens no dear, it is lovely to have you." said Narcissa.

"We were shocked to hear, that you haven't done any magic since you left home," said Lucius

"I didn't want anyone to find me. That has all changed now though. Severus told me that I must start now, my family already knows that I am close." explained Ginny

"Yes, Draco was telling us something about that, and you having to meet your brother. When is this meeting for?" asked Lucius

"Tomorrow at the Leaky Caldron, he told me to be there at noon," she said

Lucius gave Draco a look and Draco nodded his head in understanding. The food arrived and they started to eat. They had minimal chit chat while eating, when they were done Draco excused them from the table.

"I figured we could practice in the back lawn, it will give us plenty of room," explained Draco.

They walked over to the outside table, and Ginny took her wand out of the box. It was amazing, it felt like something had come alive inside of her. They walked to the middle of the yard and separated. They took a bow and got into position. Draco fired first, the first thing that came to Ginny's mind was a protection spell. This went back and forth for about an hour when they finally bowed to each other again. Ginny was the first to turn and head back to the table. When she got about half way there she felt it, she knew right way that it was Draco. Ginny looked up from her spot face down on the ground, to look at Draco. She calmly got up pointed her wand at him said the curse and walked away. "Lets see who is laughing now Mr. Malfoy." she said. All she heard of him when she was entering the house was his screams.

Lucius was watching his son and Ginevra battle from were he was standing. When Draco hit her with the trip spell he knew that the red haired girl was going to retaliate. Sure enough she got up and hexed him, turned her back and went inside. He couldn't help but laugh at his son, he got what he deserved. He walked calmly over to his son, "She doesn't look rusty at all to me, what do you think son?" asked Lucius

"No father not rusty at all, would you mind doing the bloody counter curse?" asked Draco trying his best to shield his face.

Lucius did the counter curse and called for the house elf. "Master called for Spinch?" asked the elf.

"Yes, get Draco healed and cleaned up, please," said Lucius.

Once Draco was clean and healed up they went into the house. When they finally found Ginny she and Narcissa was having tea in the parlor. Ginny just looked at them and smiled.

"Draco are you all right?" she asked

"Yes, no thanks to you, you bloody well left me out there with that curse on," he yelled at her.

Ginevra calmly got up and walked over to Draco. You would have thought she was going to give him a hug, but boy would you have been WRONG. She poked him in the chest with each word that she said. "I knew your father was out there for one. Two you bloody well deserved what you got. I know you were taught better then that Draco Malfoy. Hogwarts teaches the rights and wrongs, and even your father isn't that low. I have fought him remember." she didn't yell at him more like scolding him. With that said she went back to her original spot and sat down like nothing happened.

The Malfoys just sat shocked for a moment and then stared laughing. "Oh yes, she will do very nicely Draco, she will keep you in line, and on your toes." said Narcissa "Come on sit and have some tea, after you are done with the apparation Draco, you need to take Ginevra on a tour of the house. She hasn't had a proper look around."

"That is a great idea, as long as she apparates properly. I thought we could start off small and work our way up," said Draco looking at Ginny.

"Sounds fine to me." said Ginny

They finished up there tea and stood in the middle of the parlor. "I want you to take a deep breath and picture the dinning room, apparate there and back, ok," said Draco

Ginny nodded her head closed her eyes and with a soft pop she was gone. When she opened her eyes she was in the dinning room 'Yes I did it' she thought to herself. She closed her eyes and was off again, when she opened them she looked up at Draco and smirked "got to try harder then that to get rid of me," said Ginny.

Draco laughed "Ok then from here to your house and back." Ginny nodded and was gone again.

"She should have been in Slytherin, that one," commented Lucius. Draco just smiled and nodded his head

When Ginevra opened her eyes she was in her living room 'I am so good'. She was gone again. When she stopped she looked up at Draco, "I have to go I will be back in 10 minutes or less, when I get back I would advise you to put up wards and close off your fire place." before anyone could say anything she was gone again.

"I am worried as to what she is up to," said Narcissa. The two mean sitting with her shook there heads and sat about shutting the floo off.

When Ginevra opened her eyes she was on the porch of a simple looking house. She knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer it. The door opened and Hermione was standing there. "Hello Ginny would you like to come in?" asked Hermione

"Thanks, is Severus here I don't have long I just need to tell him something," asked Ginny

"Yeah hang on, Severus, Ginny is here to see you." Hermione called to her husband.

"Hello Ginevra what can I do for you?" Severus asked.

"Remember when you told me to start using magic again?"

"Yes, have you chickened out?"

"No the opposite actually," Ginny said she flicked her wand his way and apparated out. All she heard was Hermione laughing.

When Ginny got back to the manor everyone was looking at her expecting her to say something. She just sat down, got her some tea, and acted like nothing had happened. "You are probably fixing to have a very angry visitor on your hands."

"Ginevra what did you do," asked Narcissa

"Oh nothing much really, just getting someone back for being stern with me," she smirked. They sat there for another five minutes before everyone but, Ginny jumped.

"GINEVRA CHANGE IT BACK NOW," yelled Severus coming into the parlor. There in all his glory was a very pink Snape. Clothes, hair, skin, and all was pink. Everyone but Ginny started to laugh, they couldn't help it.

"Do you know why I did it Severus?" she asked him calmly.

"With you girl there is no bloody telling," he growled at her

"You were stern with me, and I wanted to show you that I have completed the task you asked of me." she

explained.

"Fine you showed me now PLEASE change me back," he sounded like he was whining.

"Fine," she flicked her wand at him and got up from her seat. She walked over to him and gave him a hug.

"Thank you Severus," she whispered.

"Your welcome, you did a wonderful job, next time not pink any thing but pink." he whispered back. "I will leave now, good day," and with that he was gone.

"That was Bloody excellent, love," said Draco wrapping his arms around her. "How about we take that tour before Dinner?"

"Sure lets get going." said Ginny.
