Chapter 12: Be Mine

The two students reach the store their instructor had asked them to meet him at. Ginny walked in and started to laugh quietly. She placed a hand on Draco's shoulder to keep her balance as she shook from the soft laughter. She than pointed a shaky hand toward what was making her laugh. Draco too started laughing quietly just as Ginny placed her head into his shoulder to hide her laughter. Draco buried his face in her hair. After a couple of minutes they both stopped laughing and walked over to the two figures that had been kissing. It had been Charlie kissing Christine that made them laugh. It wasn't just that they were kissing but rather the weird angle Charlie had tried to kiss her at.

Ginny cleared her throat as she and Draco approached the kissing couple. They broke apart and immediately went red in the face. "Professor Weasley you asked to see us?" Ginny said with an amused look on her face.

"Yes Miss Weasley I did ask to see you and Mr. Malfoy. However let's drop the formalities ok?"

"Alright if you say so Charliebear!" Ginny said with a laugh.

"I knew that would catch your attention. I need to set up practice times with you so we can run through the music for Bill's wedding. He is getting married in late June. Also you need to get with Ron because Fred is getting married in late July. George told me this morning and he is planning to get married next year. He said he wanted to talk to you in person but I think he plans to have you sing at his wedding too."

"Great three out of six isn't bad. Now to work on you, Ron, and Percy." She said rubbing her hands together with an evil smile.

"What are you talking about three out of six? Don't you mean three out of seven? Or do you plan to stay single the rest of your life? Don't think I am stupid Ginny. I see more than you think and I noticed three owls attack you this morning also I know something about where you were this morning after the fireworks exploded in your room at 4:00. Oh by the way you will be happy to hear your oldest brother got even with your prankster brothers. They have detention with Snape for the next two weeks. They were so not happy with that!"

"Wait a minute slow down rewind let me process a few things first." Ginny said sitting on one of the chairs near the counter. "First off let me start with the three out of six comment. I am not saying I won't get married however I have six brothers that I need to see married off before I will think about getting married myself. Second let's go on to the three owls that as you put it attacked me. One was from you, one from Draco, and the other from Prince Charming. Third thank you for giving them detention with Snape! Fourth I would appreciate it if you stopped butting your cute nose into my business big brother! And finally how could you know that George was planning his wedding for next year when he hasn't even asked her to marry him yet?"

"Alright now you slow down and let me process some things." Charlie replied. "First off what makes you think all six of us want to get married before you do? Second what did Draco want with you that it couldn't wait until you meet up in the entrance hall to head here and you know Prince Charming is just a character in a book right? Third you are welcome and by the way Snape was very excited about the detention he gets to give them. Fourth my cute nose and the rest of me only wants to protect his favorite little sister. Finally George changed his plan and asked her last weekend when he went home he proposed. She accepted and they set the date."

"Draco are you as confused as I am?" Christine finally spoke up.

"Yeah I think so. However I find it rather amusing the way they can talk as fast as they can fly!"

"Yeah that is amusing."

"Also Ginbug I wanted you here for another reason." Charlie said as he stood up and walked over to Christine. "Christine you have been my friend through thick and thin. You have always worried about my family and me. You have taken good care of my little sister when I couldn't be here to do it myself. You remained my constant contact about what happened with my siblings. Christine you have proved time and time again that you are the woman I need in my life." With this Charlie dropped to one knee and took Christine's one hand in his. "What I am trying to say is I love you with all my heart and I want to ask you to be my wife. Christine Marie Felton will you marry me?"

"Oh Charlie!" Christine gasped as Draco and Ginny watched with big smiles. "Yes of course I will marry you. I love you too."

With this Charlie produced a small black box. Opening it he revealed a diamond ring. It wasn't a big diamond but it was beautiful all the same. Draco even had to admit that Charlie had picked a beautiful ring. Charlie placed the ring on Christine's hand and then kissed her hand as he got up.

She than hugged him while kissing him very passionately. When they broke apart she said to him. "Charlie I have loved watching out for your family. I feel like they are my family even when we were just friends. Ginny is like the little sister I always wanted. I have loved watching her grow up. She has become such a beautiful woman who is stronger than most people I know. I have listen to her complain about a wizard boy who was giving her such a hard time in school and then she ended up paired with him for this year. I watched from a far this year. I noticed she has taken this challenge with much courage, bravery, forgiveness, and strength greater than even she knew she possessed. Also may I say Mr. Weasley that you have been my friend through a lot of good and bad times as well? You have proved to be the man I knew you were time and time again. I want you to know I remember the times you would threaten to come hurt the boy who brought so much misery into your little sister's life but would stop short when I would tell you that your sister had gotten her revenge. She always found a way to prove her worth as a witch and a woman so don't ever forget that! And that goes for you too Draco!" Christine finished with a smile.

"Oh I won't forget that she is both a witch and a woman not to be messed with. I learned my lesson many times. I am grateful that I only ever had to deal with her and never did she force me to deal with any of her very protective big brothers. I probably wouldn't have survived this long if I had to deal with them." Draco said with a laugh.

"Charlie," Ginny said looking at her older brother who was now making his way to her side. "Why did you worry so much about me and not about the boys?"

"Simple little Gin. You are my only sister and after what happened in your first year I feared you may have come out of that horrible event weaker. However time and time again Christine reminded me how strong you had become because of that horrible time. For that I thank Mr. Malfoy however I still don't find him a worthy human. He is getting off too easy sitting in Azkaban. I am truly sorry Draco but that is how I feel about your father."

"Professor I don't blame you as a matter of fact I agree with you. I wish they would have killed him or tortured him the way he has tortured Ginny and myself."

"I also want you to know Draco I don't blame you for what happened with my sister."

"I know you don't and I know Ginny doesn't. However I blame myself and I wish I could've corrected the situation back then. I could have stopped it I am sure." Draco said with tears in his eyes.

"Draco you weren't strong enough to take on your father and there is nothing you could have done to stop him from doing that horrible thing to me. Also let me remind you had he done it to someone else instead of me they may not have had the love or support I did. Without the love and support they wouldn't have survived that event. Someone else in that position may have died down in that chamber which would have automatically brought back the Dark Lord as it was he wasn't brought back and it took another couple years for him to return to power."

"I guess you are right Ginny but I still blame myself!" Draco said now finding it hard to hide the tears.

"Charlie and Christine congratulations. I look forward to finding out more details soon however I think we need to be going so we can get our shopping done. Also Charlie let's plan to meet on Saturdays around 10:00 ok?"

"Alright Ginbug." Charlie said and then whispered in her ear as he hugged her. "Take care of him. I think he is more fragile than we know. He loves you Gin. Don't ever forget that. Gin keep in mind he was taught to not feel emotions so this is new to him."

"Thanks Charlie. I won't forget what you said." She said as they parted from their hug. She noticed Christine hugging Draco and handing him a handkerchief. "Hey Christine is that the one I made you for Christmas?"

"Yes it is Ginbug."

"It is really beautiful Gin!" Draco said as he refused the handkerchief already retrieving his own from his front pocket. With a smile he showed it to Christine. "I have my own but thanks. Ginny made this one for me. It has been really handy."

"She does do beautiful work." Christine said as she hugged Ginny while Charlie placed an arm around Draco.

Charlie leaned into Draco's ear. "Listen Draco, Ginny is a special woman and deserves all the happiness the world can give her. She needs protected no matter how strong she may appear she is still very weak. She loves you and knows how hard all of this has been so please don't be too hard on her. Take care of her for me or you'll be in detention!" He whispered and then laughed.

"Got it Charlie. Pull lots of pranks on your sister and I don't get detention." Draco replied with a grin.

"No that would be Fred and George's agreement with you if they were your teachers. Charlie is more likely to tell you pull one prank on me and he will feed you to a dragon for dinner!"

"Yeah you are right Ginny!" Draco laughed as they waved goodbye and headed out to the street.

"Sorry about that Draco."

"Sorry about what? I loved it. Your brother included me in a family moment that meant a lot to me. I mean I have never experienced the type of family life you have. Can I see the letter from Prince Charming?"

"Sure here it is." She replied handing him the letter.

"He really does love you Ginny too bad it seems he won't ever show you who he really is." Draco said once he finished reading.

"Well I guess you are stuck with me until Prince Charming shows himself!" She said with a smile. "Can I see your letter from Cinderella?"

"Sure here."

"She cares an awful lot about you too. Again too bad she won't share her identity with you." She said laughing.

"Oh I have something for you sort of a Valentine's gift." Draco said as they started walking toward the potions supply store.

"You already gave me a Valentine's gift. You know you are going to spoil me if you don't stop giving me such nice gifts? I mean come on Draco it isn't like we are dating or even been friends forever."

"Ginny we may not be dating but you are my friend. We may not have been friends forever but sometimes it feels like we have been. Besides someone as beautiful as you deserves to be spoiled. So how about opening this? I was going to give it to you for Christmas but I found some things I liked better for you."

She blushed at the fact that Draco found her beautiful. She opened the gift and her jaw dropped open it was a very beautiful gift. It was a package of parchment with a W on it also she saw a fine quill that changed the color of your ink with your moods. "Wow Draco this is so beautiful."

"So you like it?"

"Yes but I didn't get you anything!" She said with a frown.

"I know what you can give me." Draco said with a smirk.

"Oh and what is that?" Ginny said with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing dirty Gin. I just want another handkerchief."

"I can do that but what do you want on it?"

"Let me think about that for a while ok?"

"Deal now let's get our potions supplies so we can go to the sewing supplies store and Honeyduke's before we go for lunch. That way we can just take our time walking back to school." Ginny stated.

"So now you don't have to go to the parchment store? Why?"

"Well I wasn't out of school parchment but I was out of personal parchment."

"Wait your telling me you use different parchment for school and letter writing?"

"Yes unless I don't want anyone to know where a letter came from then I use my school parchment."

"Please don't get mad at me but I am curious on how you afford that?"

"Simple I usually get it as a gift from one of my brothers. However since none of them got me parchment for Christmas I have run out. So your gift came at the perfect time."

"Well I am glad I could help you out with that problem than."

They had reached the potion supply store and were just entering it. After getting their potions ingredients they headed back out and toward the sewing supply shop. Draco had handed Ginny all the money Millicent and he had collected from the Slytherins for the handkerchiefs. Once they had finished getting the necessary supplies which included some new needles and more handkerchiefs they headed toward Honeyduke's.
