"Ms Weasley, you are late again" Professor Swope said as Ginny rushed into the classroom and sat next to Colin Creevey.

"I'm Sorry Professor"

"Anyways, back to what I was saying…." Exactly what he was saying Ginny didn't care. She mealy fell into her usual daydreaming. Her normal daydreams usually included Harry or Quidditch. Today the only difference was that she started off thinking about her new schedule. This year she decided or take Business& Home life for Wizards and Witches, Taught by Professor Ralala, A short middle aged man that resembled professor Sprout. Being that not many kids wanted to take it, She took it with 6th and 7th years also. Hermione and Ron took it but Harry couldn't because his grades weren't very good in portions and divination. As far as 5thyear Gryffindor's she only knew that Colin and Regine were taking it. They were her friends but she normally liked to hang out with her brothers and his friends more then them.

The class ended slowly and she went to History ofmagicand then Business & Home.

The first thing that Ginny noticed as she sat down was who was in her class; Colin, Regine, Ron, Hermione, Hannah Abott, A Slytherin, 2 Ravenclaws, and…Draco Malfoy.

Why the hell is he taking this class? Ginny thought in her mind. She was so curious she almost went as far as to ask him why. She started to stand up but the teacher entered the classroom, and she sat back down.

"Welcome students, this will most likely be one of your easiest class this year. You will be taught in the latest fashions of making quick Galleons and being able to take care of your home. I would like for you each to take out your textbooks and turn to pages 23, please read about Currency then answer the 5 questions at the end of the text. Once you are done come up here and I will assign you your next assignment." He told them. Oh boy. Written work, Ginny thought as she took out her book, parchment, and a quill.

It didn't take long to finish up the work and she was the first one done.

"Good Job, Ms Weasley, Will you wait a second."

She stood to the side and by now Hermione was done and she was waiting next to Ginny. Then Malfoy.

"Alright, Ms Weasley, Mr. Malfoy. Come here." He dragged them to a corner of the room and handed them a small box.

"Your next assignment will be that you two are going to attempt to run a household together. One would be the homemaker the other will be running a business." Ginny looked at Draco and snarled. Why must I run a…family…with him?

" Inside this box, are several documents explaining the situation and also telling you everything you will need to know about the business. Behind the school are a few 2-3-room apartments. You do not have to live in them, but you must both eat all your meals there and at least meet there for an extra 2 hours or so each there. They are already furnished and I expect that you should start this project soon it is due in a month. The family with the best business will receive 2 one hundreds in my class. You are free to go." He finished and headed over to the next group.

" Meet me at the apartments after dinner today, let get this stupid thing over with as soon as possible." Ginny told Malfoy before grabbing her stuff and heading out the door.

Ginny finished her meal early and headed out to where the apartment was supposed to be. She waited and about 10 minuets later Malfoy showed up.

"You got the box?" She asked him and he nodded and showed it to her. Once he opened it she discovered that a pair of keys with the number 12 on it where in there. They headed inside the building and down the hallway to room 12.

"Lets get this straight right here, right now. I am not the least bit happy about this project; I am planning on doing as little of this work as possible for it. I'll meet here for meal, fine and the 2 hours a day I don't care, but no more then that. Let me just run this business and I won't screw with you too badly." Malfoy told Ginny before they entered the room.

"That's fine with me, Lets see what this place looks like" She took the key from Malfoys hand and unlocked the door. She had to admit, it wasn't that bad of a place. There was a small kitchen/dining/living room then a back room with two beds and a dresser in it. All of the rooms had random Magical devices that you would normally find in a wizards house. Ginny recognized the percentage of them.

"Not too bad" Ginny said aloud. Malfoy snarled and sat down at the table and started to examine the papers. Feeling like exploring still, Ginny went to the kitchen section and opened up the cabinets. Inside was a set of dishes, cups ands several cooking pans. The fridge was packed with food, and Ginny suspected that it was enchanted so that it would always be filled.

"Want anything?" She found herself asking the 16 year old crouching over one of the documents on the table.

"Just a glass of water please." As Ginny retrieved a cup and started putting ice in it she was shocked at how civil they were being to each other. She placed the cup of ice water next to Malfoy on the table. He mumbled a thanks and she sat across from him.

"Here you should read this. This regards the whole house keeping part" Malfoy handed her a sheet of parchment and she read it instantly.

It basically went as followed:

Dear student:

For this project you must prepare a meal for you and your partner for each meal, each day. The house must be kept tidy and your 'home' will be inspected every so often. Your teacher will give you a certain task once a week that you will be required to complete in order to pass. We give you permission to stay in the house if wished but we do not stress it. Enjoy your time and do not worry about food. It will refill whenever it is empty.

Simple enough. Ginny thought to herself

"Anything else I should know of?" She asked Malfoy. He quickly glanced at the other papers before shaking his head no. Well since I have to still be here for about another 2hours might as well see what it has for entertainment. Ginny stood up and walked over to the 'living room' a cabinet stood in the far corner and inside was several games and books. The games included; exploding snap, Wizards Chess, Gobstones, and a few muggle games. Ginny picked up one of the books, it was entitled Dracula. Ginny had heard of this book from Muggle studies and thought it sounded quite interesting. She started reading it and it didn't take very long before se was completely absorbed.

"Weasley, I'm leaving, my two hours are up. I'll leave you with the key, tomorrow for the two hours we can just meet exactly after dinner." Malfoy told her, he threw the key into her palm and walked out. She placed a piece of paper to save her spot then glanced at the wizard clock on the wall, As soon as she looked at it, a voice said in her mind, 7:PM.

Good if I leave now I can still hang out with Harry. She thought before leaving the book on the chair and exiting the apartment.

Author Note: I know this story probably seems really corny but I was short of idea. Oh well, for good fan fiction read my other story, lost and Confused or read the story I am helping my friend write under the pen name; Avezkat.
