This is the next chapter, hope you like it

Ginny lifted her dress of the ground a few inches as she walked towards the church that overtowered the town square. She was actully begining to get used tot he elaberate gowns that she had to wear now. The dresses were beautiful, she would admit that, but they would take so long to get on and off.

The sunlight was reflecting off of the bright, clean surfaces of the square. She watched as the lower class citizens ran their small market stalls, all just trying to make a living.

Her heart went out to these people. Ginny uderstood what it was like to be poor and for the first time she felt pity for herself, after spending a few days living in the rich high society world that Ginny suspected Draco was accustomed to, she didn't think she would ever want to go back.

Now her heart was beating faster than normal. As she was approaching the church, she caught her first glimpse of the wonderful silver-blonde hair she had grown to love. Her pace increase as she came to him.

"Good morrow Draco" She smiled, he laughed and took her hand, pulling her up the stairs of the church.

"We need to talk" He said, some what desperately as the doors closed behind them.

"What? What is going on" Ginny asked, his desperate tone was worring her slightly. It was very unlike Draco to be worried or scared of some thing.

"We need to find a way to get home!" he told her. Ginny smiled at him, she wasn't to sure she actully wanted to go home.

"Why?" She asked

"Because things are happening..." Draco began.

"Things are happening...nice explaination Draco, things happen every day, what makes today any different?" Ginny asked

"No...things are happening the way that they do in the play...I think we some how stumbled into a time continuim" Draco informed her

"Really, Wow" Ginny said sacastically.

"Gin, Listen to me, this is really serious. The story is being acted out through us. We may not be playing this word for word, detail for detail...but the play is playing us" Draco whispered. Ginny looked at him as though he was insane.

"What do you mean?" She asked

"Last night, on the balcony....when you told me you loved me" Draco whispered, Ginny narrowed her eyes at him.

"I meant it Draco" She told him, a slight edge of anger in her voice.

"I meant what I said to...I am not accusing you of not meaning what you said...but I am asking, would you have told me if we were not here?" He asked

"I would not have realised if we were not here" Ginny replied

"I know, but think about it Gin...In the play, when did Romeo and Juliet first express their love for each other?" He asked her.

"The balcony scene" Ginny told him "Just like we did."

"Exactly...and their first kiss?" Draco asked

"Tha ball, just like ours" Ginny replied, she looked at him. He was right, the two lives were running paralell to each other.

"You see, things are happening...we have to find a way to get home before thursday night" Draco told her.

"Thursday night? Why, what happens thursday night?" She asked.

"Umm, Gin, you haven't finished reading the play have you?' Draco asked. Ginny shook her head, her red curls bouncing around her face.

"No, i haven't...Draco tell me what happens..." Ginny begged

"Well, ummmm...." Draco stalled, how was he supposed to tell her what was going to happen to them if they didn't get home.

"Tell me!" Ginny snapped. Draco smiled at her softly, running his hand down Ginny's arm.

"Gin, Romeo and Juliet...they die" He whispered, her eyes went wide as she processed the information.

"What?" She asked

"They...well, they kill themselves" Draco told her

"Why, why would they do that?" She asked, a tear running down her cheek. Draco wiped it off. She didn't know if it was because she was just told that her favourite story in the world didn't end with the words happily ever after, or if she was sad because this new life she was begining to become accustomed to would end with her tragic death.

"Are you sure you want to know what else happens?" Draco asked

"I could just wait until the book comes out...but I could be dead by then" Ginny said sadly. Draco hugged her and then moved her to the last chair at the back of the church.

"Tybalt kills Mercutio, So Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo is banished from Verona and Juliet's parents force her to marry Paris" Draco whispered softly as Ginny sobbed slightly into his shirt.

"But...but she is married to Romeo" Ginny sobbed.

"No one knows that Gin, Romeo has to go away, so Juliet fakes her death to get out of the wedding to Paris. Romeo doesn't know it is fake...and, he kills himself. When Juliet wakes up and finds Romeo dead...she well..." Draco whispered softly.

"That is so sad" Ginny whispered.

"But really romantic..." Draco added, she nodded into his chest.

"So, we just have to stop ourselfs from dying" Ginny told him.

"It may not be that simple...the play is playing us, remember." Draco told her, she nodded.

"How could we stop it?" Ginny asked.

"The only way I could think of was trying to find a way home" Draco said sadly.

"How are we to do that, we dont even know how we got here in the first place" Ginny reminded, Draco nodded.

"I should go" Ginny said, he nodded. Ginny pressed a soft kiss on his cheek and then stood, moving towards the church doors.

"Ginny?" Draco asked, standing and turning to her.

"Yes?" He asked

Draco took a deep breath, he had no idea why he was about to ask what he was going to ask.

"Would you marry me?" He asked, Ginny turned back to him.

"Draco...." SHe began nervously.

"No...I am not offering, I am just asking, would you. If we were back in our own world, if we had the time to have a normal relationship, if we had the time to let our love progress...would you...marry me?" Draco asked, he glanced down at his shaking hands.

"I...I have to go" She told him, he nodded and watched her leave. She didn't expect her to answer him.

Ginny inhaled a deep breath of fresh air when she got out side of the church.

Draco had just asked her if she would ever marry him.

Why the hell didn't she just tell the truth?

Of course she wanted to marry him. It was a dream of hers to marry him. And she just couldn't bring herself to tell him.

Ginny sat on the stone stairs of the church, giving herself time to think.

She had admitted she loved him, why the hell was it so hard to admit the she wanted to marry him?

Wasn't it obvious the the words 'I love you' had stronger repocussions then the words 'I will marry you some day'

Maybe she had lost her faith in love. She was still in love, but just knowing the Romeo and Juliet didn't survive the world in order to celebrate there love just made her feel that love was pointless.

Marrage...it was nothing major, and everything major all in one. She had always thought that marrage was forever. Just like her parents marrage. 30 years and 8 children and they were still going strong. She just hoped that was the way her life would turn out.

And she wanted it to turn out that way with Draco.

Maybe it was because of where they were, and who there were now.

Her fear was manifesting because Romeo and Juliet didn't make it.

Ginny stood and turned back to the church. The door opened and Ginny watched from the back of the church.

Draco sat, his head in his hands, he looked deep in thought.

She moved towards him silently, and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"I would marry you" She whispered, he looked up at her and nodded.

"I am sorry I didn't tell you straight away" She added.

"It ok, I know you would be hesitant to marry me, being a Malfoy, after all" Draco sighed.

"No, no, it is not that, not that at all" Ginny told him. She hugged him.

"It is ok Gin" He whispered.

"You want me to prove it?" She asked, Draco smirked his classic smirk.

"How?" he asked

Ginny got down on her knee in front of him, she held his hand in hers.

"Marry me Draco Malfoy" She whispered, Draco laughed, and then stopped, she was not laughing.

"Ginny...?" He began.

"I am serious Draco...marry me, here, now." She begged slightly.

"You are serious? you really mean this?" Draco asked.

"I do, I love you and I want to marry you...we may not survive this Draco...and if I have to die here, I want to die with you legally by my side. If we do find a way back, the marrage would not be legally binding there...but at least I would know we were in love enough once to be married" Ginny explained. Draco sat silently and took in what she was saying.

"You are serious" Draco repeated.

"It's ok if you are going to say no...I know you would be hesitant to marry me, being a Weasley, after all" She smiled softly, but couldn't disguise the hurt in her eyes. Her heart was breaking, she had bared her sole to him by asking, and he was not saying anything.

"Are you sure it is not the play...?" He asked

"This is not the play, I want this...but you dont" She said and then stood. "I am going to go again...I think it is best if we stay away from each other...tell me if you find a way home" Ginny began moving towards the door again, tears running silently down her cheeks.

"It is customary for the man to ask" Draco said, and she stopped. "Ginny, if you are serious about this...about us getting married..."

"I am"

"Then I get to ask you" He told her, she smiled.

"Go on" She grinned through her tears. Draco got down on his knees (his tights showing off his shapely leg muscels)

"Virginia Weasley...will you marry me?" He asked.

"I dont know?" She joked, Draco smirked and he stood, hugging her.

"I love you" He whispered

"I love you to" She smiled, and then pulled out of his arms.

"Where are you going?" Draco asked

"You think I am going to get married in this dress?" She laughed, he smiled at her.
