Chapter 10: This isn't a house, this is a mansion.
"Draco are we nearly there?" Ginny and Draco were flying on their brooms through the country side. He was leading Ginny to the house he bought. It was close to town but surrounded by fields and trees.
The trees cleared and Ginny could see a huge house. Close to a small mansion.
"Here we are love." The both flew to the ground and landed with a soft 'thump'. The house was made of stone and had two large double doors. It was two stories high and had large windows every where.
"Draco, this is...wow."
"You like it?" Ginny turned to him and smiled.
"Yes I do." They walked through the doors and into a large hallway leading off into a kitchen on the right and a lounge area on the left. There was a grand staircase in the middle of the hallway. They walked through the kitchen to the dinning area and came back to the hallway behind the stairs. They walked into the lounge area which had a bathroom leading off it.
"There are a couple of spare rooms behind the stairs but the bedrooms are upstairs." He grabbed Ginny's hand and led her upstairs.
There was another long hallway with many doors on each side. At the end of the hallway there was a pair of glass doors leading on to a balcony. "That's our bedroom." Draco pointed to a door on the left and nudged Ginny forward. She opened the door into the very best bedroom. The walls were a soft white/gold colour and the room had honey floorboards. There was a massive bed with white linen and a white canopy above. There was a opening on the left which was a walk-in-cupboard and a bathroom on the left.
"So what do you think?" Draco held Ginny's waist from behind.
"How did you afford this?" She didn't turn.
"I earned a lot of money from a job I had. My grandmother died when I was a baby but we only recently found her will and she left me every penny she owned." He rested his chin on her shoulder and he could feel her warmth and smell her scent.
"We are going to live here?"
"Yes. Well unless you change your mind or you don't like it."
"Draco I love it but do we need all this space? I mean its awfully big for just the two of us."
"But maybe it won't just be the two of us one day. Maybe there will be others."
Ginny turned then. "You want kids?"
"Yes. Don't you?"
"Yes but how many do you want? Are you going to fill this house with them?"
"Well I've always wanted a big family but we'll need spare rooms for when your family comes to stay." He kissed her hard on the lips.
"Oh. I almost forgot. I have to talk to you. You're graduating in a week and then you'll be gone but like we said, I've still got another year. I don't want to go a whole year without seeing you. If you want to be a teacher at Hogwarts then we can't do anything because you'll be taken to Azkaban. So I was thinking about leaving Hogwarts so you can be a teacher and we can see each other."
"What? Ginny no. I don't want you to give up your education so I can have the job I want. I can find another job. Besides, if you leave what are you going to do? I know you don't want to just stay at home all day."
"I don't know what I want to do but I've done enough schooling to get a couple of jobs."
Draco raised a delicate eyebrow."Such as?"
"Well I was actually thinking about opening up a clothing boutique. I have a real talent for sewing and heaps of teachers have commented on my designing skills."
"You want to open up a clothing shop?"
"Yes I do."
"Really?"
"Yep. I just have to ask my family if I can leave Hogwarts. Then we can get married sooner and start our own life."
"Okay. We can visit your parents whenever you want."
"Now." She smiled up at him.
"Now? "
"Yes. You graduate at the end of the week. Today is the last spare day we have until the end of term so yes, now."
"Okay. We'll apperate now. Take my hand. I love you."
"I love you too." They kissed each other and disappeared with a pop.

They appeared right at the front door of the burrow.
"Here goes." Ginny knocked on the door.
"Coming!" They heard Mrs Weasleys call and some shuffling then the door opened to reveal a short lady in a worn out dress.
"Ginny! Draco! What a surprise!"
"Hi mum. Can we come in?"
"Of course. Here, sit down at the table and I'll get you a cup of tea."
Draco and Ginny sat down at the dinning table while Molly heated up a kettle.
"So. What can I help you with?"
"Well. I want to leave Hogwarts after this year. Draco has shown me the house he bought for us and it's absolutely beautiful. Anyway, Draco wants to be a professor and it just can't work while we are engaged. I want to open up a clothing boutique and I can do that with my amount of schooling."
"You want to leave school?"
"Yes."
"Well, I can't really stop you so, okay." Molly sighed. She got up and finished making the tea.
"Thank you so much mum. We are going to get married sooner and moving in together in the holidays."
"So soon?" The middle aged red head looked slightly taken aback.
"Yes." Draco spoke for the first time. "We want to start our life together as quickly as possible."
"When we are settled in you should come and see the house. I've got it! We can have an engagement party tied in with a house party. Can we Draco?" Ginny's eyes were lit up with excitement. He couldn't refuse.
"Whatever makes you happy." She kissed her fiance` on the cheek. Molly was watching the two of them with a small smile on her thin lips.
The next week passed by quicker than a blink of the eye. Graduation came and Ginny clapped the loudest when Draco got his certificate and she took as many photos as she could of him. Everybody knew that they were engaged.
At the end of the ceremony Draco pulled Ginny into his arms and spun her around. "I love you beautiful."
"You too handsome." They kissed each other passionately, not caring about the people watching.
