The next morning Draco woke up and got dressed into a pair of baggy, black sweats and a tight, grey muscle shirt. When he exited his room he wasn't surprised to see that Ginny wasn't awake yet, even if it was half past ten. He had noticed since the beginning of the year that Ginny had never been a morning person. He stretched his arms, looked towards the small kitchen and smiled.

Ginny woke up to her stomach growling. When she opened her eyes she noticed the smell of pancakes coming through her door, making her stomach growl even more loudly. She flung her blankets off her and quickly got dressed into a flared, black skirt that barely reached her knees and a green halter top that showed off her bellybutton and dipped down into a low V. Her hair was still up from the night before.

Draco turned away from the stove when he heard Ginny's door open.

"Morning Ginny, hungry?" He asked.

"Yes. So what made you decide to make pancakes like a common house elf?" she asked jokingly.

"Well, if you would remember back to the first time we went out, we agreed that by the end of this year we would use our kitchen. And I figured, hey, it's Easter Sunday, why not make breakfast?"

"I can't believe you remembered that…" she said with a laugh.

"Believe it or not, I'm not as thoughtless as everyone says I am."

"I guess you've proven that over the passed couple months." She said with a nod, "Now, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Nah. It's mostly finished, just go sit at the table."

Ginny sat down in the chair facing the kitchen and smiled as she watched Draco dash around it; flipping the pancakes, putting more batter on, setting the table.

"Where did you find the ingredients to make this?" She asked as he set a plate of pancakes in front of her before sitting across from her.

"I did have a bit of help with that." He admitted, "I mean, obviously we didn't actually have anything in the kitchen so I asked a house elf to bring me up whatever I'd need to make them."

"And you knew how to make them?"

"Geeze… I try and do something nice for you and you just have to point out flaw after flaw in my plan."

"That's not what I meant and you know that. I just wanted to know if you used magic or a recipe book to make these."

"I used a recipe book. These are completely magic free pancakes I'll have you know."

"I'm impressed." She commented as she poured syrup over them.

Draco laughed, "I wouldn't say that until you try them."

"Oh I'm sure they're great." She said and put a piece in her mouth.

She gagged almost immediately and spat it into a napkin.

"That bad? Well can't say I didn't try."

"No, they're fine; it was just a clump of baking soda." She said and took another bite. "See, they're great." She said with a smile and swallowed.

"Good." He replied and took a bite himself.

They ate their breakfast slowly, only encountering another one or two more baking soda clumps.

"Well thank you for that Draco, I really enjoyed them." She said as she set down her fork and knife.

"Good, because I know it's hard to believe, but I'm not all that great at cooking, even I need to practice in that area- not that you'll catch me doing this again anytime soon."

Ginny laughed, "We'll just see about that."

"No, I swear, this took me hours to figure out." He said and stood up, taking both sets of dishes with him as he walked to the sink.

Ginny go up and stood next to him, "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Er- dishes…" he replied, confused.

"I don't think so, you don't think I would let you do dishes after you went through the trouble of making us breakfast."

"Fine." He said and went and sat over on the couch.

After a few minutes, she was finished and joined him on the couch.

"Thanks for breakfast, it was really good."

"Not a problem. Actually it was kind of fun…" He admitted.

"Well I'd better go, I have essays to mark." She said and went to stand up.

Before she could stand up completely, however; he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down.

"Come on Gin." He said as she fell onto his lap, "It's Easter, just relax today."

"Alright, fine. I guess I can mark them tomorrow."

"Draco?" She asked as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

"Yeah?"

"I know you don't want to talk about your childhood so you don't have to answer me, but what was your mom like? You never really mentioned her last night."

"My mom wasn't like my dad. She loved me, I know she did, she wouldn't have cared if I married a muggle or hell, if I decided to break my wand across my knee and ignore the fact that I was a Wizard altogether. But she was afraid of my dad. She was afraid to stand up to him."

"But-"

"No. That's all I'm telling you. Please promise you won't bring this up again?"

"Alright, I promise." She whispered sadly.

"Don't say it like that Gin." He said, "I told you last night, I'm finished talking about my past, I've moved on."

"I'm sorry Draco. It's not my fault that I care about how you grew up." She snapped and got up.

"Were you like this with Potter too?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I was. And you know what, he told me about it. He wasn't so snappy about everything."

"Well I don't know if you know this, somehow I thought you did, but Potter and I, we're completely different. I mean… what the hell Ginny? I don't understand where this came from? I explained everything to you last night. I told you that that was the end of the discussion and you agreed, why do you keep on pressing it?"

"Because Draco, I want to be your friend, and in order for us to be friends I need to know you, all of you."

"Well I don't think we can be friends then." He said, shaking his head as he stood up and disappeared into his bedroom.

Ginny sighed and retreated into her own room.
