Draco and Ginny came back in to the hall just as they were announcing the last six guests.

There was the old French couple, Olevia and Guion Jacme, the Italian newlyweds, Bree and Dorso Galto, a young, pretty woman by the name of Faith De Enberg, whoGinny became fast friends with and lastly, the Russian, horse- like woman Nastia Baddinburg, who latched herself on to Draco despite his protesting, (Pansy Parkinson.)

Faith was literately swept of her feet by Seb Cowan, (it's true! She's only 5 feet,) and Seb found he was being given the evil eye by half of the castle's male population.

But Ginny didn't mind much. She was just as contented just to dance in Draco's arms. 'Slow' dance that is.

Ginny thought he looked quite dashing in his penguin like suit. What she was not aware of was that Draco had similar thoughts.

Her hair was left down except for that small bit that was swept up in to a pig-tail with a golden clip, quite like that first day in this time. She was wearing a white ball gown with golden trimmings and on her feet were delicate glass slippers.

Ginny had looked in surprise as Evie had held out the slippers early that morning.

"What if I brake them?" Ginny remembered herself saying.

Evie had laughed and replied, "your not the only one who's a witch around here, you know."

Ginny smiled exactly like she had that morning when Evie had said that.



Draco caught the smile on those kissable lips of Ginny Weasley.

If anyone had said a month ago that he would be dancing with a Weasley in such a fashion he would have laughed in there face but now, it just seemed right.

Draco opened his closed eyes and saw Ginny smiling up at him. God she's gorgeous, he thought as he swept down to capture her mouth in his for a short passionate kiss.

When the pulled away he thought he heard Ginny mumble, "I love you so much."

His joy could probably not be expressed in words. He would never get sick of hearing those words. Never.

He replied in saying, "I love you too."

They danced close for many more dances until they were interrupted by Faith and Seb bumping in to them.



Ginny watched with delight as Faith bowed in her direction and in as manly voice as she could make it said, "May I have this dance your majesty."

Then sweeping herself into Ginny's arms swept her into a most complicated dance that not even the best dance choreographer could keep track of.

It was full of little steps, twirls and promenading.

The other guests cleared a small circle for them. When the music finally stopped everyone broke in to applause and Ginny and Faith took an exaggerated bow.

She was sure, as the crowd started dancing again that both Seb and Draco were laughing insanely.

Her guess was correct as Seb and Draco approached them and although they had muffled there laughing there eyes gave them away.

"Wonderful show girls," Seb said still trying to contain his laughter.

Draco was more reserved in saying, "can I talk to you outside, Em?"

Ginny smiled at this playful nickname of her new name and quickly excused herself from Seb and Faith.

She saw the reassuring look between Draco and Seb and wondered what it meant but decided against asking. She would hopefully know soon enough.

They made there way to a lighted rose garden and Draco led her to a bench and sat her down.

He however stayed standing.

Ginny noted that he was ringing his hands nervously.

"What's the matter Draco," she asked getting quite scared herself. Surely he wasn't going to break up with her. Not now.

As if he read her mind he said, "oh no, it's nothing like that." He came over and sat down next to Ginny. "I completely will understand if you say no really I will," Draco gushed.

Ginny took hold of his hands in her own and stared reassuringly in to his eyes. "I know this might be a bit early…"

"Draco what are you saying?" Ginny butted in.

"This is what I'm saying," he then got down on the grass, on one knee, taking a white box out of his pocket he continued. "Virginia Weasley. Will you marry me."

He then revealed a gold engagement band with a ruby heart in the middle.

Putting down his head, he prepared for the worst.

He looked up to see Ginny with her head in her hands silently crying.

Realising that he was looking at her she took away her hands to show him the big smile on her face.

Finding her voice she cried, "Yes. Yes I'll marry you."

Draco smiled as he slipped the beautiful ring on to her finger. Bringing her up to a standing position and took her lips in a heart searing kiss.



"Mission accomplished!!"



"Draco?" Ginny asked while entwined in Draco's ams. It was early morning and they had been sitting on the same bench the whole night despite the cold winter-y weather.

Draco nodded his head to show he was listening from his position of nuzzling her neck.

"How am I going to tell our families when we get back? I know for a fact both families will not be happy about the joining."

"Well, my love. We will tell them when the time is right. No one can see the ring unless you want them too. We shall do the telling in good time."

"Thank you for understanding Draco."



Later that night was the first night Draco and Ginny spent together.

Early the next morning Draco couldn't understand the red haze surrounding him and the angel who was still asleep next to him.

Sensing that Draco was looking at her she slowly opened her eyes. Draco was still laying next to her, naked as the day he was born.

She smiled at him and he kissed her nose gently.

"Uhhhhh Gin, Sorry for asking this but what does the haze mean?"

Ginny swore under her breath for not telling Draco sooner.

She sat up pulling a sheet around her body and got ready to tell Draco everything. "Rach said this might happen but I wasn't quite sure. You see I'm a direct descendant of the moon goddess Artemis. I was also born at exactly the same time as her. My great great great grandmother is the only one who has done that besides me. I can transform, heal more quickly than others, I don't have to use my wand when doing spells and can use telepathy. I can have very good telepathy when I am joined to that person like we are, hence the red haze."

She had expected him to yell and scream at her but was surprise when all he did was smile.

"Oh you mean like this," Draco said while turning the haze a icy blue colour. "I must say you definitely do the job of the goddess of hunt very well. You even scared me some of those times when we were duelling."

He took a short time to admire her beauty when she blushed.

"I am also a direct descendant of a god, born at exactly the same time as him. Neptune's Poseidon."

"God of the sea and earthquakes," Ginny mumbled under her breath.

More loudly she said, "how do you think the wizarding world will react to a god wedding?"

"Who cares," Draco said while taking her under the covers once more.



A week later, Ginny was searching the castle for Draco. Even though she had told him he didn't have to do any more chores he politely declined saying it was a great experience.

Words she thought would never come out of a Malfoy while scrubbing floors.

She had taken the absence of Draco to catch up on her assignment and play some chess with some of the knights. She possessed the same Chess skills of Ron and was glad to learn how to play it as a muggle.

She finally found Draco in the nursery playing with a beautiful baby, another thing she didn't think she would ever see a Malfoy do.

She stood in the doorway until Draco finally noticed her. He went slightly red and made to stand up but the baby held him down.

"Don't bother. Do you mind if I stay with you?" Ginny asked sweetly.

"Sure. Oh this is Harlie, Aedan and Jaedes daughter," he said while pointing to the baby with blonde curls and lovely green eyes just like her mothers.

They spent the rest of the day playing with Harlie until Jaede came to pick her up around two o'clock.

If she was surprised that her Queen was crawling around on the floor with her baby daughter she did not show it.

They started to aimlessly drift through the castle until a though pushed itself into Draco's mind. Gods he's handsome, and so sexy.

"What," he asked, a tinge of pink travelling up his neck.

"What do you mean?"

"Someone just said that someone was handsome and sexy."

Ginny went slightly white. "It's started," she whispered.

"What has Gin?" Draco asked. "We can now read each others thoughts," she replied quietly.

"You mean that was you?" he asked. Ginny nodded her head yes.

"Well in that case," he said while concentrating on a sentence to send to her. 'I thing your beautiful and sexy too.' Ginny's cheeks took on a red colour, almost the same colour as her hair.

"I mean it too, Ginny," he whispered into her ear.

Ginny shivered with anticipation.



Back at Hogwarts:

Divination had been a bore so far for Ally and Debrah that is until Prof. Trelawney went into one of her trances.

Strangely enough it was not to for-warn them of Harry Potters death as they were accustomed too but something completely different.

"The only two gods left have been united. Spread the word, Artemis and Poseidon are finally together as the prophecies describe. Spread the word. They are united."

Then slipping out of the trance again she started talking about the art of mind reading leaving a stunned sixth year Gryffindor class.

After the hour of Divination was over Ally and Debrah raced to the Gargoyles guarding Prof. Dumbledore's office.

"Lollypops," the both almost screamed. They took the winding stairs to the circular room two at a time and burst into the room without knocking. Both Prof. Dumbledore and Prof. McGonnagal were sitting there, quietly talking.

"What is it Miss Ally, Miss Debrah?" Dumbledore asked kindly.

"Professor, Professor Trelawney slipped into a trance today at Divination," Ally explained in a rush.

"Can you remember her exact words? Please this is necessary."

Both the girls and McGonnagal looked at Dumbledore strangely but never the less, Debrah repeated the words they had heard just and hour ago.

"The only two gods have been united. Spread the word, Artemis and Poseidon are finally together as the prophecies describe. Spread the word. They are united."

"Can you make anything from it Albus?" McGonnagal asked.

"I can," he replied. "And it's about time they got there act together. After all they are destined to be together. Jellybean?"

Everyone declined.

"Accio Roman myth's."

A large leather bound book, slightly falling apart, pulled itself from a bookshelf in the room and into Dumbledore's hands.

He opened the book to a page and started to skim the contents.

" Here we go," he muttered under his breath.

He placed the back face up on the desk and the three woman crowded around it. Staring up at them were the words:



The God from Neptune, Poseidon and the goddess from the Moon, Artemis will unite together as one, rivals from different heritages, overtaking the dark lord with love stronger than all bonds ever made. But if the dark lord should get to them first all is lost for everything good, everyone will cease to exist and his reign of terror will be stronger than ever. Even the 'Boy who lived' will stand no chance, as he is wiped in to oblvion. If the good discover first the bond that these too share, fire and ice, the shall be known as 'the couple who loved.'
