A/N Well, this has being quite a journey :) I loved every single of it, but, like every fan fic, it has to reach it's end and this one's almost there, only this chapter and another one to go and we're done people! Sorry to say this, BUT hey! you'll be able to read yet another fan fic made by MOA! Isn't what this is all about?! lol! I'll be done with this one, then I'll be working on my story "Hollow" which I've horribly left behind! XD lol! I hope the ppl reading this fic, also get the urge of reading this other one, I think it's very nice and you'll like it. After I'm done with this one, I'll be working on two new fan fictions: "What's Good For Us" the long waited sequel to "What's Good For Me" and my first 'try' to the new Fire/Ice generation! Rosie&Scorpius!!! In my story "Stolen". After this two, I'll be working on "What's Good For Them" the last trilogy to "What's Good For Me" and I guess those are my plans for now. Enjoy this chapter:P
Summary: Draco's lonely, homeless, with hunger and confuse of how he end up like this. But someone shows some sympathy to him, who's lovely soul could that be?
"And all the talk
And all the lies
Were all the empty things
Disguised as me..."
Another month passed after that unforgettable night; Ginny was working once again so she was seeing less of Draco. When she comes home at night, he is already sleeping, that made Ginny kinda sad and she thought she had a solution for it: Ginny have heard that after graduation, Draco went to Hungary and studied a concentration in Advanced Potions to become a Healer.
But after what happened to his mother, he never truly worked as one. That was when he dissapeared and nobody knew of his whereabouts so they thought he was dead. Who would have thought that he had been always near her...homeless, sleeping in the streets and living life like a poor house elf...
Ginny walked inside the flat with some groceries behind her.
"Finite Incantatem!" the groceries dropped themselves in the kitchen counter.
"Draco! Sweetheart! I'm home!" Ginny said out loud as she opened the door of their bedroom only to see he wasn't there.
"Where could he be...?" just when she asked herself this; Draco Apparated behind her, came nearer and put his lips close to her ears as he whispered with an evil smirked.
"Boo!"
Ginny jumped scared and quickly turned around.
"Bloody hell! Draco, you scared me!"
"That was the point" Draco grinned.
"Oh? Was it?" Ginny raised an eyebrown as she grinned back at him.
"Indeed" he put his hands in her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Well, next time you do that I won't fall that easily..."
"Well, maybe next time I'll scared the crap out of you..." he leaned in and kissed her.
She kissed him back.
"Maybe I'll kick your arse if you ever do that again..." she said when they pulled out.
"Okay then, maybe there won't be a next time!"
Ginny laughed.
"What is it?! Afraid I'll kick it too hard?!"
"No, I'm just afraid you'll leave me without any rear at all!"
Ginny laughed harder.
"Oh Draco, you're so funny..."
"Am not...I only make you laugh..."
"Maybe it's true..."
"But for me, that's the only laugh that counts and the only one I always want to hear..."
"Awww, that's so sweet! What time it took you to come up with that one?"
"Hmmm, about three minutes"
"Really?!" Ginny raised both eyebrowns in disbelief.
Draco looked at her and laughed.
"I'm just kidding love, I don't have to think so hard to come up with beautiful things to say to you..."
"Really?"
"It's true" Draco smiled.
Ginny kissed him and smiled back.
"By the way Draco...I wanted to talk to you..."
"What is it that you want to talk about?"
"Come...let's have a sit, shall we?"
Draco stared at her confuse, but Ginny could only smile so he sat beside her. Apparently is nothing bad.
"Allright...pray tell me"
"Well, I was just...thinking...actually, I had this idea..."
"Okay..."
"I don't know if you have notice...but, lately we don't see each other that much..."
"That's obvious, you've been working and I completly understand your work...the life of a Healer is not that easy..."
"Yes, well...the thing is...well, I know...that you studied in Hungary to become a Healer but you never had the chance to work as one...so, I took the liberty to talk with the Healer's Chief and he told me, he wanted to meet you..."
"What are you trying to tell me...?"
"H. Thompson said there was an empty station where they needed a graduated Healer..."
"So...what you're trying to say to me is..."
"You got a job! Yes! Well, almost; they want an interview with you! And if things go well, then you'll work at St. Mungo's as a Healer!"
Draco could not believe it, the dream of his mum, came true..."almost"...her son would be a healer...
"I can't believe this is happening..."
"Well, it is!" Ginny laughed.
"If I once loved you very much...now I love you more!" Draco give her many pecks as he tickled her.
"Draco! Haha! Stop! Stop it! It was...it was nothing! Re--really!"
"Thank you...thank you, Ginny...you're the loveliest person I've ever met...even though I was a git, you showed sympathy all the way...I love you..."
"I love you too..." Giny smiled as she caressed his cheek.
Draco smiled back.
"Well, I must get to work soon and you must get ready for your interview!"
"Allright, let's do it then!"
Both went to take a shower, put on their clothes. Ginny her healer robes and Draco some nice elegant clothes and both Apparated in front of St. Mungo's entrance. They both entered the deserted building and took the elevator to the 5th floor.
"Well, here we are, the office is that way, last door to your right"
"Okay, thanks Ginny. I guess I'll see you later..."
"Sure...good luck!" Ginny kissed him goodbye as he walked to his left and Ginny walked inside the elevator again.
---
Two hours passed and Ginny was already getting on her nerves.
"He drank by mistake Veritaserum and now he can't stop saying the truth, not even if you don't ask him, it's like they're coming out freely... the funny statements he's saying though, makes me crack up sometimes..."
"I hate my wife's cooking!"
"Uff! She won't be happy about that...ah Ginny...Ginny? Are you listening?" Loretta elbowed her .
"Huh? Um sorry, you were saying?"
"This bloke, he drank by mistake Veritaserum...what's wrong with you? It's like you're not ever here..."
"She's not!" the man kept blabbing
"I'm sorry Loretta, it's just...I'm getting nervous about Draco's interview..."
"Well, go and find him!'
"Is he allright?!" the man's wife came inside the room.
"Yes mam, he is" nurse Brown answered.
"Are you sure? Are you gonna be okay with the rest of the patients?"
"Of course! Stop worrying! I'm not a lousy healer! I can handle myself, plus I got nurse Brown with me so, go!"
"Thank you, Loretta!" Ginny smiled at her best friend and ran out of the room.
"She has a nice behind!"
The man's wife gasped and slapped him hard in the face.
Loretta and Lavender tried not to laugh.
Ginny entered the elevator and pushed the 5th floor buttom very hard.
"Come on, come on!"
The doors of the elevator closed and it started to go down. Finally, the doors opened on the 5th floor and Ginny quickly turned to her left and made for a run until she reached the end of the hallway where Draco was sitting in a bench that was by the Healer's Chief office's side.
"Draco!" Ginny called him but he didn't answered. He was looking at his feet and his hair was all over his face.
Ginny finally was standing in front of him and bent over.
"Draco...honey, what's wrong? What happened?"
Draco didn't answer, but then he looked up at her, tears falling down his cheeks.
"Draco! What happened?! What did he said to you?!"
"All she ever wanted was for me to not be like the ordinary Malfoy...she wanted me to help people and be a good person...all she ever dreamed was for me to become a healer..."
"Oh goodness gracious! You didn't get the job! Oh, please don't tell me he didn't because you were a deatheater! I'll go and have a few words with him!" Ginny stood up and was about to opened the door of the Healer's Chief office when Draco stopped her by taking her arm.
"No, no Ginny, you don't understand...I got the job..."
Ginny opened her eyes wide and squealed.
"You did it! Honey, you did it!" Ginny hugged him.
"I know...he was very impressed with me and my knowledge in Potions and Charms, also in Defense Against the Dark Arts. He said he needed more healers like that, with all that kind of Advance knowledge..."
"Oh my goodness! Draco, congratulations!" Ginny smiled and kissed him.
"Thanks" Draco smiled back as he sniffed.
"I'm so, so proud of you...and I know your mother is too...wherever she is..."
"I know..."
"Come on, let's go have supper together and celebrate...future partner" Ginny joked.
"Let's go then!" Draco laughed.
They both had supper together and then Ginny went back to work while C.H. Thompson showed Draco the hospital facilities.
Ginny searched for Draco when her shift ended and both went back home.
