Ginny rushed in and out of sight as Draco chased her around the Hogwarts grounds. It was night with the stars shining brightly above them. Earlier that evening the graduating class of 2002 was finally been released from the seven long years at Hogwarts.
Draco had been there as an assistant to the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. He was planning to go into teaching when the three years that a student of Hogwarts was required to wait, were up. Ginny was planning to work at the Ministry's IOI department, Inner Office Investigations.
She jumped as hands wrapped around her waist and squeezed gently. She curled up with silent laughter as the same hands tossed her gently to the ground and began to tickle her. She twisted around trying to get out of his grasp. She gasped for breath as he finally let her go.
She slapped at him playfully. He just caught her hand and kissed the back of it. She picked herself up sending a glare down at him. She then proceeded to march towards the castle doors her nose stuck snobbishly in the air.
He ran after her until he was standing in front of her. Draco tilted her face upwards more towards him. He bent his face down and nuzzled her neck placing kisses on the delicate skin. She giggled as he hit a particularly ticklish spot.
She tried to push him away from her but he just held on all the tighter. She smiled brightly but again tried to shove him away.
He twirled her around until she was clutching desperately to him to keep from falling. The stars twinkled merrily as he sat her down and brought his lips down to meet hers in an achingly soft touch.

That was the weird thing about wizarding pictures. They always stayed true to peoples feelings no matter what they were doing when the picture was taken.
In fact, if she wasn't mistaken, Draco and her had been glaring quite heatedly at each other. They had been spewing insults at each other the entire time the picture was being set up.
She had no ideal while she had even kept the stupid picture. She, Ginny, was the top official for IOI, she had her own office, she was happy! Yet she still kept a picture from years before that would act out things that would never, could never, happen in real life.
Even the two in the picture knew that. Whenever anyone came into the office one, or both, of them would slide out of sight or they would begin fighting with each other. But with her they were always lovey dovey.
She had never quite figured out when she had come to love Draco Malfoy. She certainly hadn't planned on it. She didn't even know she had this picture. In fact she had buried this picture in a small hole in her room, at the Burrow, and had just recently found it.
They hadn't even seen each other for two years, yet, she still loved him. And he must have loved her once. The picture didn't lie unless he was just attracted to her. Or maybe it was just some joke he had wanted to play on her back then.
Personally she was of the opinion it was a fluke. That the potion used to develop the picture was bad. That's what it had to be. There was no way Draco would ever love her. She was cursed to be a Weasley for the rest of her life. The red hair, the freckles, nothing would ever change that.
Tears pricked her eyes and she lowered her head and turned her chair around quickly as the door to her office opened. She wiped her eyes of tears and took a few calming breathes as the person sat down.
She didn't notice the two kids in the old picture were still kissing.
AN: It could be Draco. It would make sense. Then again the couple in the picture might not care if this person saw. Or maybe just maybe they didn't know anyone else was there so wrapped up they were.
It's your path. Your choice. Choose wisely.
CHOICES are a small series of short stories completely unrelated to each other. So far there are two stories, including this one, to the CHOICES series. Please keep in mind at this moment I have no desire to write a sequel for I am more then happy at how these stories have turned out. Thank you and I hope to see you in the next CHOICES story.
