Draco swayed as he tried to keep his balance. He hadn't used Floo powder for a few years now. Damn. We should have just apparated. I hate the Floo Network. Ginny landed shortly afterward with a surprising amount of grace.
The bar isn't as full as it used to be. It was always full of people only a few years back, when Voldemort was terrorizing the wizarding world. Many people found it easiest to just drink their problems away. There were a few young people there, probably snuck out from Hogwarts, including young James, Harry's son.
Harry had proposed to Cho Chang during his speech at the graduation. He was the valedictorian, and he talked about his life, and about how happy he was, and he had ended it with "And I know that I will be even happier in the years to come, because, Cho, I love you with all of my heart, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" They had been dating ever since the middle of their fifth year. Of course, she had accepted. They currently had a son in his first year of Hogwarts, James, who was named after Harry's father.
Ginny had walked over to James, who had an extremely old piece of parchment slightly sticking out of his pocket. "You better not be caught by any teachers." Harry had passed it on to her after he had graduated; after all, it was no use to him anymore. Something had told her to keep it for James after she had graduated. She had never taken divination, but if she had, she would have been the top of her class. A few weeks ago, Ginny owled the map to him anonymously.
James looked worried and then started babbling about having special permission and then went off about not telling his father about it.
"Shush. I was the one who sent you the map; there would be no reason for me to tell Harry about it. Anyway, he couldn't get mad at you for it if he wanted to. He used the map when he was at school."
Ginny was a child at heart. Everybody compared her to Percy, the honest, smart, braniac. She was more like the twins, except that she never, ever got caught. It was quite funny. She had even been Head Girl.
Draco had walked up behind Ginny and looked at James. And Laughed. "Potter, I always knew you were bad at potions, but even Crabbe or Goyle would know that you don't drink the entire cauldron of Youth Potion." Both Ginny and James looked at him with confusion, which Draco mistook for something else. "Did you drag me all the way down here to have lunch with Potter?"
Realization suddenly dawned on Ginny. She laughed at him, while he stood impatiently waiting for an answer. "This isn't Harry. This is James, his son."
James finally understood also, and started to get angry with the man who was insulting his father. "Well you aren't exactly the greatest person either. I know who you are. I heard about your father on the news. Dad has told me a lot about you, and you aren't exactly perfect either!"
Embarrassed and angry, Draco snapped. "Don't you have somewhere to be? Like school? Your 'Perfect' father might not like it that you are skipping school for a few butterbeers."
"Lay off, Draco! You started this anyway. Why don't we just go catch a seat at the bar?" Ginny didn't like Draco's severe and sudden attitude adjustments. James and his friends decided that it would be best for them to get out of there as soon and as quickly as possible. Malfoy was Harry's only enemy now that Voldemort is gone, and everybody knows what happened to him. Better to just let them be than to start a fight between them. I wander why Aunt Ginny is with him. Maybe I will owl dad… [James' Thoughts]
They went sad down at the bar and ordered their drinks. Mmm… maybe the alcohol will make me just forget that Draco is here…
Just then, a great idea came to Draco. He whispered it to Ginny, who had already had a few drinks, who giggled in the middle. "Come on, I already told you, you have a nice ass, you are sexy, when they see how the others react, they will go crazy! You know how protective the rest of them are of you."
"You have a nice ass too, you could do it." Ginny had obviously had a few too many drinks.
"I know, but your brothers aren't protective of me. It would defeat the whole purpose," Draco said, laughing.
Ginny then suddenly kissed him, and although taken a little by surprise, he kissed her back, before she passed out.
