Chapter 1
20 years earlier
Lucius Malfoy sat at the seat in the Leaky Cauldron with his closest friend, Arthur Weasley, with their respective wives, Narcissa and Molly.
'Are you expecting another child, Arthur?' Lucius asked. He wished he can get a lot of children like Arthur, but unfortunately Narcissa do not want to get pregnant again.
'Yes, Molly already did the medical check and it confirms that it is a girl,' Arthur told Lucius.
'Now that I think of it, Arthur, what if we betroth my son, Draco, and your daughter, and get them to marry each other 20 years later,' Lucius suggested.
Arthur, who thought that Lucius was just joking, agreed. The agreement was signed by using blood from each other and when Arthur found out about Lucius becoming a Death Eater, he tried to cancel the agreement, but he was told by Dumbledore (who knew all of this, of course), that such agreement is a magical binding contract, where no parties can cancel it. Arthur never told this to anyone except Molly, and neither does Lucius tell Draco about it.
The present,
Mr. Malfoy died rather unpleasantly (killed by Voldemort, who later died, killed by Harry), and after the funeral, the lawyers(wizard lawyers) came to read Mr. Malfoy's will to his wife, Narcissa and son, Draco.
"To my wife, I give my house and everythings thats in it, including the money thats in vault #296, #297 and #298 in Gringgots, while to my only son, who must reside in this house, Draco, I give him all the money in vault #369, 398, 399, 450 and 777 in Gringgots, with the exception, you will not receive any of this if you don't marry Miss Virginia Weasley, the only daughter of Mr. Arthur Weasley and Mrs. Molly Weasley, and serve you right for not wanting to join me," the lawyer read.
"What? I'm to marry Weasley? Is father joking, mother?" Draco asked, his silvery hair tousling from his face.
"There's more, Mr. Malfoy," said the lawyer. "If Draco marry Virginia, to get the full inheritance both of them must produce at least two children in three years of marriage, one silvery haired, while the other red-headed, if he doesn't, all the money will go to Miss Virginia Weasley,"
"Mother, is father joking?" Draco asked again.
"Well, your father used to be best friends with Arthur Weasley, they signed an agreement that you would marry Virginia, that agreement is a magical binding contract that neither your father nor Arthur Weasley can cancel it," Narcissa said. "Honestly, I can't believe he put it in his will, maybe he knew that you can't be forced to marry Virginia out of your own will,"
"I'm going to see Arthur Weasley the following morning, and Mr. Brown, can you give me a copy of that will?" Draco asked.
"But of course, Mr. Malfoy," Mr. Brown said.
At the Burrow...
Mr. Weasley received an owl post from Lucius Malfoy, a post he did just before he died. The last time he received a post from Lucius is when Mr. Weasley is promoted to be the Minister of Magic.
'Dear Arthur...
do you remember when both of us were friends? Those were the days, aren't they? I was just wondering if you remember the binding magical contract that we agreed upon on 20 years ago, I do hope you remember them, since that was why I'm writing this letter. The 20 years have come and gone, and this is the 20th year, the year that we must join my son and your daughter to marriage. Since I know about my son's stubborn nature, (for example, he didn't want to join me as a death eater and instead be a part time auror for the ministry), I have written in my will that if he wants to inherit everything that I have left him, he must obey the magical agreement and marry your daughter, if he doesn't, all the money belongs to your daughter, this is the only way for the agreement to be done. I am still serving the Dark Lord at this moment, although I knew that Harry Potter is going to come to the rescue pretty soon, and I knew that I'm going to be dead in a matter of weeks, please, Arthur, accept my son, even if he is the son of a death eater who was once your best friend,
sincerely,
Lucius Malfoy
'Oh, Lucius, why did you do all of those?' asked Arthur Weasley despairingly. He must explain everything to Draco and Ginny about all these first.
Breakfast at the Burrow goes well as usual, Fred and George opened their joke shop (named Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes) and its kinda helped the Weasleys a bit with their finances, Ron became a divination teacher at Hogwarts (Professor Trewlayney died before predicting that a young man that she used to teach will replace her position) and is about to be wed to Hermione, who became the arithmancy teacher (Professor Vector retired), while Ginny became a auror just like Harry, who played Seeker in England's Quidditch team when he has the time, and she outgrew her crush on Harry when she's 17.
"Ginny, I want to talk to you later," said Mr. Weasley simply, when they are having their breakfast.
"Oh okay," said Ginny simply, she never knew about Mr. Malfoy's plan.
AFter breakfast,
"Your are joking, dad?" asked Ginny.
"No, do I look like joking? Lucius wrote me this letter, I think that young Draco will arrive soon, going to show us the will as a proof," said Mr. Weasley and soon after that, Draco arrived with his Firebolt 6000.
Chapter 2 - Draco's arrival
"Malfoy, what are you doing here?" asked Fred Weasley, who just saw Draco arrive.
"I want to see your father, and your sister," Draco simply said, he was tired from the two hour ride from Malfoy Manor and doesn't want to argue with Fred Weasley.
"Welcome to the Burrow, Draco,"
"Oh, I forgot, Mr. Weasley, you knew about it too, have you explained it to her already?"
"I know about it, Malfoy, and I don't want to do it, but since it is a magical contract, I've to do it,"
"Let's go to my room and talk," Ginny said and led Draco up the flight of stairs towards her room.
Ginny's room ~~~
"I wonder if it is okay to call you Ginny, since we are going to get married anyway, you can call me Draco," Draco started, moving towards the bed, where Ginny sat.
"Okay, Draco, you can call me Ginny if you like," Ginny said, scooting over to let Draco sit next to her.
"Ok, I know this is hard, I don't know you, you don't know me, but I need to marry you in order to get my inheritance, and of course, it's a binding magical contract in which I couldn't do anything about,"
"Is that all what you want?" Ginny asked.
"Well, you know... I've never had a nice childhood, and with two children in three years, I'll guess you'll grow on me, and vice versa, and I think we'll have a loving family by then, just like your family is," Draco explained. "And besides, my father said in his will, he wants beautiful grandchildren,at least he made the right choice choosing you, you are the prettiest girl at Hogwarts when I'm there,"
"I guess you are right, if we are to have children, we must have a happy family, I don't want my children not having the bliss I've had when I'm a kid, even if we Weasleys aren't that well off, but we are happy," Ginny replied, a bit pleased with herself that she actually got a compliment from Draco.. "But, Draco, I've a boyfriend,"
"Unlike me, who has everything, and yet, no love," Draco said, not hearing the last sentence that Ginny had uttered. "Is it okay, if I hug your shoulders?" he asked. Ginny nodded and Draco put his arms around her shoulders and drew her close. "So, will you marry me, Ginny?"
"Is it okay if I lean on you?," Ginny asked, without hearing Draco's answer, puts her head on Draco's shoulders (Draco is taller than Ginny). "I've a boyfriend who spend least of his time with me,"
"Oh? But do you still want to marry me?," Draco said.
"Hmm, you are so sweet, and you proposed first, I always say that the first person to propose to me is the ONE though I know Colin will be devastated,"
"Colin? Colin Creevey? Same year as you in Hogwarts, isn't it, that small boy," Draco said, reminded of the small Colin. "Okay, I'll go with you to explain all of this to him,"
Chapter 3 - the explanation
But Ginny forgot to explain all of it to Colin until the invitation cards are ready. Fortunately, Colin is not in her department, so, she can avoid him for a while.
"You are getting married, Ginny? Congratulations to you and Colin!" Roxanne Brown said.
"I'm not getting married to Colin, Roxanne, thanks," Ginny replied, not wanting to tell anyone that she's marrying Draco Malfoy.
The whole office of Aurors are abuzzed that their own Ginny Weasley, the only other female Auror in the office is getting married to none other than Draco Malfoy.
"We thought that you'll be with Colin, can't believe you, we thought he's your boyfriend, what gives?" asked Dean Thomas, who, people are wondering how, he can be an auror.
"Nothing, Thomas, I found love in Ginny and took it, and she returned my feelings," Draco replied, who went in to send a dozen red roses to Ginny, 'just like a Muggle', Ginny thought. He gave Ginny a peck at the forehead.
"I'll be at my office at the Department of Magical Games and Sports if you want to see me, okay?" Draco told her and kissed her at the lips. Draco's kiss is so insistent, she was having weak knees, she wound her arms around Draco's neck and deepened the kiss.
"Hey, you are making the office boiling hot! Stop now," joked Dean Thomas. Ginny suddenly became aware that Draco kissed her in front of everybody at the office, and Draco, who also now aware that he had just kissed his fiancee in front of her whole office, ended the kiss.
"Don't forget to go with me and see Colin before my brother told him the news," Ginny whispered. Draco nodded.
"Bye," Draco said simply, knowing that if he kiss her then, he couldn't be stopped, and left.
Harry edged towards her desk after Draco left. "Ginny, come into my office, please," Harry announced. Harry is their boss's assistant, and so had his own office, like Percy does when he was just Mr. Crouch's assistant.
"What do you want to talk about?" asked Ginny, knowing that Harry probably would ask something regarding to her upcoming marriage. Harry is like a seventh brother to Ginny already, and Harry felt that Ginny is like a little sister to him.
"I'm going to play for England the night before your marriage, so, it's not certain if I'm going to come or not, but Ginny, have you told Colin about this?" asked Harry.
"No, Draco and I are going to explain it to him afterwards," said Ginny nonchalantly, she seemed to have forgotten about Colin.
At the magical co-operation department's room...
Percy is head of department, he got promoted two years ago, and is now married to Penelope Clearwater.
"Hello, boss, good morning," Colin said cheerfully. He was going to ask Ginny to marry him afterward, and he couldn't wait. He even want to ask Percy's approval, since Percy is Ginny's older brother.
"Ah, good morning, Colin, nice morning it is," Percy said breezily. He knew he wasn't suppose to blurt it out to Colin, though his conscience told him that Colin must know about it.
"Mr. Weasley?" asked Colin.
"Yes? Colin?" he asked. "You may come in,"
"I've got a question for you, and this involves personal stuffs," Colin said timidly, fidgetting furiously.
"Personal? Have anything to do with my sister?" asked Percy calmly. He knew about Colin's relationship with Ginny.
"Yes, boss, I want to ask her hand in marriage, you know how long our relationship had been going on," Colin explained. "So, boss, do I pass your inspection?"
Percy lay quiet for a while, he knew about the magical binding contract, and knew that neither Ginny nor Draco can back out.
"Colin, it is better if you talk to Ginny herself, I think she has something that she wants to tell you," Percy said, and then, a snowy owl came in, "Ah, I think you just received an owl from her,"
Dear Colin,
Please meet me at the Leaky Cauldron for lunch, there's something that I need to tell you urgent.
Ginny
Leaky Cauldron...
Colin found himself a seat at the Leaky Cauldron before he saw Ginny and Draco walking together towards him, holding hands, hey, wait a minute, holding hands?
"Hi, Colin, I suppose you want to know why he's here?" asked Ginny, trying to sound calm.
"Yes," he answered hoarsely. Ginny produced out the invitation cards.
You are invited to witness the marriage of our daughter,
Miss Virginia Weasley and Mr. Draco Malfoy
At the Malfoy Manor on 25th October 2002 (A/n: I don't know which dates are good for weddings)
"Is this a joke?" asked Colin angrily. Ginny shook her head, while Draco explained.
"We were betrothed when we weren't even born, by using a binding magical contract that said a marriage between both of us will take place 20 years later, which is now, the present,' Draco explained.
"And then, Draco's father, my late future father-in-law put in his will that Draco must marry me to get his inheritance, otherwise everything for Draco belongs to me, I couldn't just take his inheritance just like that, that'd be too mean," Ginny continued. "So, both of us are getting married soon,"
"Just like that, Ginny? We were going out for two years! And you dumped me because of some silly contract," Colin moaned.
"I'm sorry if I hurt you, Colin, but it just couldn't be done, it's a magical contract where we couldn't back out," Ginny explained again.
"So, we'll see you at the wedding, okay," Draco said, and pulled Ginny out of her chair. Mrs. Weasley, Percy's wife, Penelope and Hermione are waiting for them outside Madam Malkins for their marriage robes.
At Madam Malkins'
"Hello, Draco and Ginny," greeted Mrs. Weasley. 'They certainly broke the ice,' she thought, looking at the young couple. Draco had one of his hand on the small of Ginny's back, and Ginny doesn't even seem to mind it.
"Hello, mom, and Penny and Hermione," greeted Ginny. Penelope and Hermione are looking at a Muggle-style wedding dress and both of them couldn't help thinking that Ginny would look good in it.
"A Muggle style dress?" Draco asked. 'It's beautiful, I think Ginny would look superb in it,' he thought to himself.
"We thought Ginny would look beautiful in it," Hermione said, knowing of Draco's hatred towards Muggles. "Just let her try it on,"
The dress is amazing on Ginny. The silk had been magically bewitched to curve all around Ginny's curves. Draco couldn't help but said 'Wow! She's gorgeous!' under his breath.
"Draco? How do I look?" asked Ginny to Draco who looked as if he's been petrified.
"You look gorgeous," he blurted, and then a blush crept onto his pale face. 'Oh god, I just said that she is gorgeous,' he thought.
"Thank you, so do you mind me wearing this for our wedding?" asked Ginny again, realizing that she had just received another compliment from Draco. Draco could just nod, he was fighting the urge to kiss Ginny in front of her in-laws and his future mother-in-law.
"Well, that settles it then, you've already tried the Muggle-style tux, have you, Draco?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, it fits splendidly well, honestly, are you going to make the wedding a Muggle-theme?" asked Draco instead.
"Arthur wanted to try a Muggle theme wedding, although we've tried that during Percy's and Penny's wedding, but then Penny is Muggle-born," said Mrs. Weasley, "And the wedding robes of the wizardry is somewhat similar to the Muggle dresses, so I hope you don't mind, Draco,"
"Oh, not really, after all, we've still got a ministry wizard and all other wizarding stuffs," Draco replied. "With Mr. Weasley being the Minister after all,"
"Ah, yes, have you bought Ginny a ring, Draco?" asked Mrs. Weasley. "Your engagement ring, of course,"
"We are going to buy one after this," said Draco. "Well, now that all that's done, can you let me and Ginny go?"
"There's Ginny, go fetch her," said Mrs. Weasley, "All right, both of you can go,"
With that, Ginny and Draco left Madam Malkins to go to the jeweller.
"Hello, Mr. Malfoy, what can I do for you?" asked the jeweller himself.
"Hello, Rubeus, I'm just going to buy an engagement ring for my fiancée, Ginny Weasley,"
Rubeus looked at Ginny's brown eyes and bright red hair, and thought to himself, 'Can't believe I'll see the day when a Malfoy came in here with a Weasley,'
"What is your sign, my dear?" asked Rubeus.
"Oh, I'm a virgo," Ginny replied. Rubeus took a rare pink sapphire ring, a solitaire diamond out, and another rare pink sapphire with lots of little diamonds surrounding it.
"With you being a virgo, your birthstone is sapphire and this pink sapphire somewhat matched a bit with your red hair," Rubeus explained.
"This one is beautiful, try it on, Ginny," Draco said, picking the ring with the little diamonds. He inserted the ring into Ginny's engagement finger and it fitted perfectly.
"Wow, I like it," said Ginny. "Do you?"
"Me too," Draco said, and smiled. He was still holding Ginny's hand, and then he kissed it. Rubeus the jeweller looked at them for a while, never imagining that this might happen in his own shop, a Weasley and a Malfoy in love.
"Rubeus, we'll take it," said Draco and paid Rubeus with a couple of hundred galleons.
"Where shall we go next?" asked Ginny. Draco gave her a mischievous smile, held Ginny's hand and disapparate with Ginny towards his apartment.
"Here we are, my apartment," said Draco.
"You should have told me you want to apparate, I'd be a bit prepared!" said Ginny. "So this is where we are gonna stay?"
"No, I was told by my father in the will that I must stay with you and mother at the Malfoy Manor. We could brighten it up a bit, mother already did some of the brightening up, though" Draco explained again.
"Show me around, then," Ginny said. But Draco immediately brought her to the bedroom, his bedroom, to be precise.
"My mother left this with me, she told me to give it to you, it's the Malfoy family heirloom," said Draco, taking out a simple white-gold necklace, with a deep red locket. "She wore it to her wedding, given by my grandmother, and now, she wants you to wear it,"
"Can you put it on for me?" Ginny asked. She pulled up her hair, and Draco,

Chapter 1
20 years earlier
Lucius Malfoy sat at the seat in the Leaky Cauldron with his closest friend, Arthur Weasley, with their respective wives, Narcissa and Molly.
'Are you expecting another child, Arthur?' Lucius asked. He wished he can get a lot of children like Arthur, but unfortunately Narcissa do not want to get pregnant again.
'Yes, Molly already did the medical check and it confirms that it is a girl,' Arthur told Lucius.
'Now that I think of it, Arthur, what if we betroth my son, Draco, and your daughter, and get them to marry each other 20 years later,' Lucius suggested.
Arthur, who thought that Lucius was just joking, agreed. The agreement was signed by using blood from each other and when Arthur found out about Lucius becoming a Death Eater, he tried to cancel the agreement, but he was told by Dumbledore (who knew all of this, of course), that such agreement is a magical binding contract, where no parties can cancel it. Arthur never told this to anyone except Molly, and neither does Lucius tell Draco about it.
The present,
Mr. Malfoy died rather unpleasantly (killed by Voldemort, who later died, killed by Harry), and after the funeral, the lawyers(wizard lawyers) came to read Mr. Malfoy's will to his wife, Narcissa and son, Draco.
"To my wife, I give my house and everythings thats in it, including the money thats in vault #296, #297 and #298 in Gringgots, while to my only son, who must reside in this house, Draco, I give him all the money in vault #369, 398, 399, 450 and 777 in Gringgots, with the exception, you will not receive any of this if you don't marry Miss Virginia Weasley, the only daughter of Mr. Arthur Weasley and Mrs. Molly Weasley, and serve you right for not wanting to join me," the lawyer read.
"What? I'm to marry Weasley? Is father joking, mother?" Draco asked, his silvery hair tousling from his face.
"There's more, Mr. Malfoy," said the lawyer. "If Draco marry Virginia, to get the full inheritance both of them must produce at least two children in three years of marriage, one silvery haired, while the other red-headed, if he doesn't, all the money will go to Miss Virginia Weasley,"
"Mother, is father joking?" Draco asked again.
"Well, your father used to be best friends with Arthur Weasley, they signed an agreement that you would marry Virginia, that agreement is a magical binding contract that neither your father nor Arthur Weasley can cancel it," Narcissa said. "Honestly, I can't believe he put it in his will, maybe he knew that you can't be forced to marry Virginia out of your own will,"
"I'm going to see Arthur Weasley the following morning, and Mr. Brown, can you give me a copy of that will?" Draco asked.
"But of course, Mr. Malfoy," Mr. Brown said.
At the Burrow...
Mr. Weasley received an owl post from Lucius Malfoy, a post he did just before he died. The last time he received a post from Lucius is when Mr. Weasley is promoted to be the Minister of Magic.
'Dear Arthur...
do you remember when both of us were friends? Those were the days, aren't they? I was just wondering if you remember the binding magical contract that we agreed upon on 20 years ago, I do hope you remember them, since that was why I'm writing this letter. The 20 years have come and gone, and this is the 20th year, the year that we must join my son and your daughter to marriage. Since I know about my son's stubborn nature, (for example, he didn't want to join me as a death eater and instead be a part time auror for the ministry), I have written in my will that if he wants to inherit everything that I have left him, he must obey the magical agreement and marry your daughter, if he doesn't, all the money belongs to your daughter, this is the only way for the agreement to be done. I am still serving the Dark Lord at this moment, although I knew that Harry Potter is going to come to the rescue pretty soon, and I knew that I'm going to be dead in a matter of weeks, please, Arthur, accept my son, even if he is the son of a death eater who was once your best friend,
sincerely,
Lucius Malfoy
'Oh, Lucius, why did you do all of those?' asked Arthur Weasley despairingly. He must explain everything to Draco and Ginny about all these first.
Breakfast at the Burrow goes well as usual, Fred and George opened their joke shop (named Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes) and its kinda helped the Weasleys a bit with their finances, Ron became a divination teacher at Hogwarts (Professor Trewlayney died before predicting that a young man that she used to teach will replace her position) and is about to be wed to Hermione, who became the arithmancy teacher (Professor Vector retired), while Ginny became a auror just like Harry, who played Seeker in England's Quidditch team when he has the time, and she outgrew her crush on Harry when she's 17.
"Ginny, I want to talk to you later," said Mr. Weasley simply, when they are having their breakfast.
"Oh okay," said Ginny simply, she never knew about Mr. Malfoy's plan.
AFter breakfast,
"Your are joking, dad?" asked Ginny.
"No, do I look like joking? Lucius wrote me this letter, I think that young Draco will arrive soon, going to show us the will as a proof," said Mr. Weasley and soon after that, Draco arrived with his Firebolt 6000.
Chapter 2 - Draco's arrival
"Malfoy, what are you doing here?" asked Fred Weasley, who just saw Draco arrive.
"I want to see your father, and your sister," Draco simply said, he was tired from the two hour ride from Malfoy Manor and doesn't want to argue with Fred Weasley.
"Welcome to the Burrow, Draco,"
"Oh, I forgot, Mr. Weasley, you knew about it too, have you explained it to her already?"
"I know about it, Malfoy, and I don't want to do it, but since it is a magical contract, I've to do it,"
"Let's go to my room and talk," Ginny said and led Draco up the flight of stairs towards her room.
Ginny's room ~~~
"I wonder if it is okay to call you Ginny, since we are going to get married anyway, you can call me Draco," Draco started, moving towards the bed, where Ginny sat.
"Okay, Draco, you can call me Ginny if you like," Ginny said, scooting over to let Draco sit next to her.
"Ok, I know this is hard, I don't know you, you don't know me, but I need to marry you in order to get my inheritance, and of course, it's a binding magical contract in which I couldn't do anything about,"
"Is that all what you want?" Ginny asked.
"Well, you know... I've never had a nice childhood, and with two children in three years, I'll guess you'll grow on me, and vice versa, and I think we'll have a loving family by then, just like your family is," Draco explained. "And besides, my father said in his will, he wants beautiful grandchildren,at least he made the right choice choosing you, you are the prettiest girl at Hogwarts when I'm there,"
"I guess you are right, if we are to have children, we must have a happy family, I don't want my children not having the bliss I've had when I'm a kid, even if we Weasleys aren't that well off, but we are happy," Ginny replied, a bit pleased with herself that she actually got a compliment from Draco.. "But, Draco, I've a boyfriend,"
"Unlike me, who has everything, and yet, no love," Draco said, not hearing the last sentence that Ginny had uttered. "Is it okay, if I hug your shoulders?" he asked. Ginny nodded and Draco put his arms around her shoulders and drew her close. "So, will you marry me, Ginny?"
"Is it okay if I lean on you?," Ginny asked, without hearing Draco's answer, puts her head on Draco's shoulders (Draco is taller than Ginny). "I've a boyfriend who spend least of his time with me,"
"Oh? But do you still want to marry me?," Draco said.
"Hmm, you are so sweet, and you proposed first, I always say that the first person to propose to me is the ONE though I know Colin will be devastated,"
"Colin? Colin Creevey? Same year as you in Hogwarts, isn't it, that small boy," Draco said, reminded of the small Colin. "Okay, I'll go with you to explain all of this to him,"
Chapter 3 - the explanation
But Ginny forgot to explain all of it to Colin until the invitation cards are ready. Fortunately, Colin is not in her department, so, she can avoid him for a while.
"You are getting married, Ginny? Congratulations to you and Colin!" Roxanne Brown said.
"I'm not getting married to Colin, Roxanne, thanks," Ginny replied, not wanting to tell anyone that she's marrying Draco Malfoy.
The whole office of Aurors are abuzzed that their own Ginny Weasley, the only other female Auror in the office is getting married to none other than Draco Malfoy.
"We thought that you'll be with Colin, can't believe you, we thought he's your boyfriend, what gives?" asked Dean Thomas, who, people are wondering how, he can be an auror.
"Nothing, Thomas, I found love in Ginny and took it, and she returned my feelings," Draco replied, who went in to send a dozen red roses to Ginny, 'just like a Muggle', Ginny thought. He gave Ginny a peck at the forehead.
"I'll be at my office at the Department of Magical Games and Sports if you want to see me, okay?" Draco told her and kissed her at the lips. Draco's kiss is so insistent, she was having weak knees, she wound her arms around Draco's neck and deepened the kiss.
"Hey, you are making the office boiling hot! Stop now," joked Dean Thomas. Ginny suddenly became aware that Draco kissed her in front of everybody at the office, and Draco, who also now aware that he had just kissed his fiancee in front of her whole office, ended the kiss.
"Don't forget to go with me and see Colin before my brother told him the news," Ginny whispered. Draco nodded.
"Bye," Draco said simply, knowing that if he kiss her then, he couldn't be stopped, and left.
Harry edged towards her desk after Draco left. "Ginny, come into my office, please," Harry announced. Harry is their boss's assistant, and so had his own office, like Percy does when he was just Mr. Crouch's assistant.
"What do you want to talk about?" asked Ginny, knowing that Harry probably would ask something regarding to her upcoming marriage. Harry is like a seventh brother to Ginny already, and Harry felt that Ginny is like a little sister to him.
"I'm going to play for England the night before your marriage, so, it's not certain if I'm going to come or not, but Ginny, have you told Colin about this?" asked Harry.
"No, Draco and I are going to explain it to him afterwards," said Ginny nonchalantly, she seemed to have forgotten about Colin.
At the magical co-operation department's room...
Percy is head of department, he got promoted two years ago, and is now married to Penelope Clearwater.
"Hello, boss, good morning," Colin said cheerfully. He was going to ask Ginny to marry him afterward, and he couldn't wait. He even want to ask Percy's approval, since Percy is Ginny's older brother.
"Ah, good morning, Colin, nice morning it is," Percy said breezily. He knew he wasn't suppose to blurt it out to Colin, though his conscience told him that Colin must know about it.
"Mr. Weasley?" asked Colin.
"Yes? Colin?" he asked. "You may come in,"
"I've got a question for you, and this involves personal stuffs," Colin said timidly, fidgetting furiously.
"Personal? Have anything to do with my sister?" asked Percy calmly. He knew about Colin's relationship with Ginny.
"Yes, boss, I want to ask her hand in marriage, you know how long our relationship had been going on," Colin explained. "So, boss, do I pass your inspection?"
Percy lay quiet for a while, he knew about the magical binding contract, and knew that neither Ginny nor Draco can back out.
"Colin, it is better if you talk to Ginny herself, I think she has something that she wants to tell you," Percy said, and then, a snowy owl came in, "Ah, I think you just received an owl from her,"
Dear Colin,
Please meet me at the Leaky Cauldron for lunch, there's something that I need to tell you urgent.
Ginny
Leaky Cauldron...
Colin found himself a seat at the Leaky Cauldron before he saw Ginny and Draco walking together towards him, holding hands, hey, wait a minute, holding hands?
"Hi, Colin, I suppose you want to know why he's here?" asked Ginny, trying to sound calm.
"Yes," he answered hoarsely. Ginny produced out the invitation cards.
You are invited to witness the marriage of our daughter,
Miss Virginia Weasley and Mr. Draco Malfoy
At the Malfoy Manor on 25th October 2002 (A/n: I don't know which dates are good for weddings)
"Is this a joke?" asked Colin angrily. Ginny shook her head, while Draco explained.

"So, both of us are getting married soon,"
"Just like that, Ginny? We were going out for two years! And you dumped me because of some silly contract," Colin moaned.
"I'm sorry if I hurt you, Colin, but it just couldn't be done, it's a magical contract where we couldn't back out," Ginny explained again.
"So, we'll see you at the wedding, okay," Draco said, and pulled Ginny out of her chair. Mrs. Weasley, Percy's wife, Penelope and Hermione are waiting for them outside Madam Malkins for their marriage robes.
At Madam Malkins'
"Hello, Draco and Ginny," greeted Mrs. Weasley. 'They certainly broke the ice,' she thought, looking at the young couple. Draco had one of his hand on the small of Ginny's back, and Ginny doesn't even seem to mind it.
"Hello, mom, and Penny and Hermione," greeted Ginny. Penelope and Hermione are looking at a Muggle-style wedding dress and both of them couldn't help thinking that Ginny would look good in it.
"A Muggle style dress?" Draco asked. 'It's beautiful, I think Ginny would look superb in it,' he thought to himself.
"We thought Ginny would look beautiful in it," Hermione said, knowing of Draco's hatred towards Muggles. "Just let her try it on,"
The dress is amazing on Ginny. The silk had been magically bewitched to curve all around Ginny's curves. Draco couldn't help but said 'Wow! She's gorgeous!' under his breath.
"Draco? How do I look?" asked Ginny to Draco who looked as if he's been petrified.
"You look gorgeous," he blurted, and then a blush crept onto his pale face. 'Oh god, I just said that she is gorgeous,' he thought.
"Thank you, so do you mind me wearing this for our wedding?" asked Ginny again, realizing that she had just received another compliment from Draco. Draco could just nod, he was fighting the urge to kiss Ginny in front of her in-laws and his future mother-in-law.
"Well, that settles it then, you've already tried the Muggle-style tux, have you, Draco?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, it fits splendidly well, honestly, are you going to make the wedding a Muggle-theme?" asked Draco instead.
"Arthur wanted to try a Muggle theme wedding, although we've tried that during Percy's and Penny's wedding, but then Penny is Muggle-born," said Mrs. Weasley, "And the wedding robes of the wizardry is somewhat similar to the Muggle dresses, so I hope you don't mind, Draco,"
"Oh, not really, after all, we've still got a ministry wizard and all other wizarding stuffs," Draco replied. "With Mr. Weasley being the Minister after all,"
"Ah, yes, have you bought Ginny a ring, Draco?" asked Mrs. Weasley. "Your engagement ring, of course,"
"We are going to buy one after this," said Draco. "Well, now that all that's done, can you let me and Ginny go?"
"There's Ginny, go fetch her," said Mrs. Weasley, "All right, both of you can go,"
With that, Ginny and Draco left Madam Malkins to go to the jeweller.
"Hello, Mr. Malfoy, what can I do for you?" asked the jeweller himself.
"Hello, Rubeus, I'm just going to buy an engagement ring for my fiancée, Ginny Weasley,"
Rubeus looked at Ginny's brown eyes and bright red hair, and thought to himself, 'Can't believe I'll see the day when a Malfoy came in here with a Weasley,'
"What is your sign, my dear?" asked Rubeus.
"Oh, I'm a virgo," Ginny replied. Rubeus took a rare pink sapphire ring, a solitaire diamond out, and another rare pink sapphire with lots of little diamonds surrounding it.
"With you being a virgo, your birthstone is sapphire and this pink sapphire somewhat matched a bit with your red hair," Rubeus explained.
"This one is beautiful, try it on, Ginny," Draco said, picking the ring with the little diamonds. He inserted the ring into Ginny's engagement finger and it fitted perfectly.
"Wow, I like it," said Ginny. "Do you?"
"Me too," Draco said, and smiled. He was still holding Ginny's hand, and then he kissed it. Rubeus the jeweller looked at them for a while, never imagining that this might happen in his own shop, a Weasley and a Malfoy in love.
"Rubeus, we'll take it," said Draco and paid Rubeus with a couple of hundred galleons.
"Where shall we go next?" asked Ginny. Draco gave her a mischievous smile, held Ginny's hand and disapparate with Ginny towards his apartment.
"Here we are, my apartment," said Draco.
"You should have told me you want to apparate, I'd be a bit prepared!" said Ginny. "So this is where we are gonna stay?"
"No, I was told by my father in the will that I must stay with you and mother at the Malfoy Manor. We could brighten it up a bit, mother already did some of the brightening up, though" Draco explained again.
"Show me around, then," Ginny said. But Draco immediately brought her to the bedroom, his bedroom, to be precise.
"My mother left this with me, she told me to give it to you, it's the Malfoy family heirloom," said Draco, taking out a simple white-gold necklace, with a deep red locket. "She wore it to her wedding, given by my grandmother, and now, she wants you to wear it,"
"Can you put it on for me?" Ginny asked. She pulled up her hair, and Draco,
