Half the Sugar, Twice the Spice

Chapter Seven

Immediately, Ginny turned to go. He grabbed her arm, and she turned towards him, tears streaming down her face. "I'm so sorry Draco," she choked out.

He looked almost tender, which was very unlike him.

"I've got to go," she whispered.

"No, you're not going anywhere," he almost yelled. "Don't you get it Ginny, I love you, I'll say it again if you want me to. Dammit Ginny, I'm not Harry Potter--I'm not even Neville Longbottom--I'm a cold hearted bastard, I've been raised to be a Death Eater. I'm not good at flowery declarations--so fuck it, I love you."

She looked at him and smiled an impish grin. "So fuck it I love you? Malfoy, you have a wonderful way with words."

He smirked. "I know."

"I love you, even though you are a asshole," she said solemnly.

"Good," he whispered in her ear. "Because it would awfully hard for me to ask your Dad to marry you if you didn't love me, wouldn't it?"

She suddenly pulled back and looked at him. "Draco Malfoy! Was that a proposal?"

He smirked again, and kissed her teasingly. "Only if you say yes," he whispered in her ear.

"But I'm only 16, I mean, i want to marry you, but what about school, and I just sent your father to Azkaban and--"

Draco shut her up by kissing her again. "You're babbling Ginny."

"Shut up, you prat. Of course I'll marry you but--"

"Ginny? Will you stand still so I can kiss you?"

"But it's raining--"

"I like the rain--"

"WHAT!????" Screamed Mrs. Weasley before going into a dead faint.

Six of the Weasley's advanced towards Draco, receiving several kicks and punches from Ginny. "Hurt him and pay the price," she said sternly.

"Ginny--you've got to be reasonable," said her father. "You can't get married straight out of school!"

"Why not? You did!"

"That was different--Your mother--"

"My mother was pregnant with Bill, I am aware of that fact! But I'm NOT going to get pregnant unless I want to! And I'm certainly not sleeping with Draco for a while at least!"

"Damn," muttered Draco so softly that only she could hear. She kicked him lightly, and he scowled at her.

"I REFUSE FOR YOU TO DO THIS!" thundered Ron.

Ginny turned towards her father. "If you refuse--I'll just run away from him right this second."

Mr. Weasley sighed, then grabbed Draco's hand and shook it. "Welcome to the Weasley Family."

Several Months Later:

"Oh, let me do it," said Ginny, as Draco fussed with the ties of his robes.

She was wearing a dark purple robe, which clashed with her hair and face--producing a very odd look--which made her look even more adorable.

"What are you looking at?" she asked as she tied his robes properly.

"Hmmm? Nothing."

She slapped him lightly on the shoulder, "Time to go Draco."

He tried to smile--it was still hard too--but he tried because he knew it pleased her.

"You're still an arrogant asshole," she whispered in his ear. "And I love you for it--never change."

He smiled and kissed her.

Harry watched them after the graduation. Ginny's small hand intertwined in his large one. She rested her head on his shoulder and he whispered something in her ear that made her kick him.

I lost my chance, Harry thought, I lost my chance a long time ago. He loves her, and she loves him--I'll never ever get her.

High above, Professor Remus Lupin watched Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy hold hands--so much--so much like what he used to have--but that, is a different story.

THE END

Once again I thank all my reviewers. The next Ginny/Draco series shall be coming out sometime next month--maybe sooner. I really need to finish rewriting my first book in the Chanter Trilogy. Also, I'm moving to SF for the summer in just a little bit--possibly next week. Now All I have to do is find enough boxes to fit all my books in.

Thanks again to all my reviewers! I hope you liked this--I did.
