A/N: Hey so, as promised, here is chapter 10. I don't quite know how far this story will go, but thank you for sticking with me on this journey. as always, criticism and of course praise/ comments. JKR owns HP, obvs.
Ginny POV:
She spent all day walking through the house, looking at paintings and the library, thinking about how much Hermione would love this house until she remembered that this was the house Hermione would never go near again. She frowned a bit while running her fingers over the rough spines of the texts. She then left the library, her stomach growling, and made her way downstairs to grab a snack. She quickly grabbed a granola bar and asked Clank to lead her to the field. She followed the small elf outside, eager to see what the Malfoys had in store. The field was pristine, grass not too tall and there was a shed in the corner. She made her way over and opened the door.
She smiled at what she saw, beautiful brooms, their tails finely trimmed and their wood polished to the max. She stepped inside and a broom in the back of the shed caught her eye, it looked older and unused, in need of some love. She lifted it from its hold on the wall and carried it outside. She hadn't flown in a long time, but Quidditch was in her blood, flying came naturally. She kicked off the ground and spent a long time in the air, enjoying the feel of the wind in her face and hair, the chill the higher she climbed. Once the sun started to fall, she decided it was about time to head inside, her hands were freezing and she really wanted a cup of tea. She put the broom back, and looked at the rest while she was there.
She always knew that the Malfoys had money, and a lot of it, but all these brooms together would have cost a fortune. And she somehow doubted that his parents flew. She was in disbelief that all of these brooms were Draco's. She made her way back into the house and made herself a pot of tea. She glanced down at the golden watch she had gotten as an early present from her parents and knew that Draco should be home any minute.
Draco POV:
He apparated back to the manor and gazed up at the gray mansion, he didn't know if he really wanted to stay here for the rest of his life, generations of Malfoys had lived here, and he knew he didn't want to lose it, even though he had no good memories there he knew that maybe he could make something that resembled a home for himself out of this place.
He made his way up the path to the front door, he was running late back home and he felt bad he had left Ginny home alone all day, and even worse that he was home later than he said he would be. He opened the door and put his cloak away in the closet. He then made his way to the kitchen, the elves had made a habit of having tea ready whenever he came home from work.
As he entered, a small smile was on his face, Ginny was sitting at the table, focused on a journal that she was writing in. She had a cup of tea next to her that was no longer steaming. He was silent so that he didn't bother her, but couldn't help it when he took a step forward and tripped over a lifted tile on the floor. He stumbled and she immediately slammed the journal shut and looked over at him.
"You know, if you weren't snooping, you'd probably be able to pay attention to where you were walking." She said as she scooped the book up and walked out of the kitchen up to her room. He sighed and thanked his elf as she handed him a piping cup of tea. He took it up to his room so that he could change into more comfortable clothes. He also took a quick shower and brushed his teeth, he had a set routine after he got off of work. He never liked to bring the stress of work back to the house.
he heard Ginny going back down the stairs as he was pulling on clean socks. He made his way down the stairs behind her and as he passed the library, he stopped and turned into the large room.
"So, not snooping, do you like it?" He asked, as he gestured around the room. Ginny looked back over at him and then back at the books with a odd look on her face.
"Well, I just took a glance earlier, But it was enough to notice, a lot of these books are family trees. I was thinking of reading something, but theres not much that looks... readable to anyone other than Hermione." She said as Draco walked over next to where she was, hands in his pockets.
"Yeah... I never read much of these, but a lot of families who are 'blood proud' have these kind of books. I did read... These over here though." He said as he walked over to a smaller bookshelf next to a couple stuffed chairs. Ginny followed him over and raised her eyebrows at the selection.
"Hmm... These.. could possibly take up some space in my day while you're gone." She said. "And about that, just one day here and.. I got really bored.. I was thinking, What if I got a job? I could pay you for the room and the food too? But the thing is, I don't really know where I could get one." He turned and looked at her as she was speaking, nodding slightly.
"Well, if you'd like I could help you find one, I could ask around and see if anyone is looking for someone." He said, already thinking about what he could help her with, he wasn't sure but he thought that maybe, just maybe, his business might have an opening, but he would have to check.
A/N: Really trying for you guys! Any ideas for what Ginny's job should be? I have an Idea but am open for more. Also, If yall handt figured it out, Draco started his own finances business, thought that would be suitable for our strapping young lad. R&R!THNX
