On June 5th, Draco was rudely awoken by pans clattering together in the kitchen. He wondered if Ginny had also woken up to Kip's loud noises, but when he opened his eyes she was not next to him. "Ginny?" He shouted louder than he expected.
Kip apparated into the room. She looked nervous at Draco, "Mr. Draco, sir. Miss Ginny asks that you not come downstairs for at least another half hour." Kip sighed, "She's making a mess of the kitchen sir. Kip asked if she could help, but Miss Ginny is determined to do it on her own."
"Do what?" Asked Draco.
"Miss Ginny told me not to say. It is a surprise sir." Without another word, Kip disapparated back into the kitchen to keep a watchful eye on Ginny.
Draco tried to lay back down again, but he couldn't figure out why Ginny would be surprising him. It wasn't their anniversary. By the time he had given up on figuring it out, Ginny had come up with a tray full of breakfast. "Happy Birthday!" she shouted excitedly. How could Draco have forgotten his own birthday? He hadn't even remembered telling Ginny when his birthday was.
Smelling the tray that Ginny held in her hands, he started to be excited about breakfast. "Thanks Ginny," he said eagerly, looking at the plate full of food.
"I hope you don't mind. I cooked it all from scratch. Took me longer, so the eggs may have gone cold, but that's the way my family always does it." She set the tray in front of him and enthusiastically looked for his delight. To Ginny's great pleasure, Draco nodded and gave a thumbs up to the food he tasted.
Ginny ran back downstairs to inevitably clean up the kitchen. She returned with a smile on her face, "So, birthday boy, what would you like to do today?"
He appreciated Ginny's optimism in light of the recent events, especially since they both knew that they had to stay within the confines of the house. "I don't know, what do you-"
"Today isn't my birthday" Ginny said happily, "It's yours, so whatever you choose for us to do, we're going to do it. Let's celebrate!"
After deciding that they would play games, Ginny and Draco found every board game they could find in the house and decided to play it. Since they are both extremely competitive, they would get too into the games and one would flip the board over if they lost. This then began a running gag between the two and made them both go into fits of laughter. They played well into the night and brought out the firewhiskey to make the bets more interesting. "If I win, you have to take a sip and if you win, I have to take a sip."
This turned into a duel between the two at who could tolerate their alcohol better. Genetically, Ginny was at a disadvantage, but she began winning more games which caused Draco to drink more. Inevitably, they both were pissed by the end of the night. They walked up the stairs together and went into their separate bedrooms to change. Ginny came back into Draco's room just as he was clumsily getting into bed.
Ginny gracelessly got into bed and set her head on the pillow next to Draco. They both sat in the silence as they stared up at the ceiling. First to break the silence was Ginny, "I think I'm falling in love with you."
Draco couldn't breathe for a moment. He had thought he had misheard Ginny, thinking that she had misplaced a glove with him. Once he looked to Ginny for confirmation that he heard what she had said correctly, he said, "I think I'm falling in love with you too." Ginny reached for his hand and held it tightly. She gave him a glimmering smile and turned over to fall asleep. Draco turned on his left side and conformed his body to Ginny's. He felt her body relax and with that he fell asleep, knowing that Ginny was feeling the same way he was.
Author's note: Extremely short chapter I know and the next two won't be much longer, but hopefully the one after is a bit more like the regular sized chapters.
