Chapter 12

~*~ Draco ~*~
"Mum... Draco's my boyfriend." I almost smirked at the way her parents were gasping. As if they both got heart attacks at the same time, but the fact remains that I can't blame them. After all, our families were enemies for the longest time and suddenly, your youngest daughter tells you she's dating the family's enemy's son.
Ah well, so after Dumbledore making sure that Mr and Mrs Weasley would not lecture Virginia in the hallway, we left for Dumbledore's office with her parents looking at me disapprovingly every ten seconds. I was used to it, but having your girlfriend's parents look at you like that felt very different.
So after around ten minutes of walking, we arrived at Dumbledore's office and he said the password, which was 'White Chocolate' and we sat down on the couch. Weasley and I, Virginia's brother and I, I mean... There was after all four Weasleys... We shared a couch while Mr and Mrs Weasley and Virginia shared the other one. Dumbledore was sitting down at his desk.
Dumbledore told me to tell the tale and told Virginia to fill in stuff that I left out. "Okay..." I took a deep of fresh air. One, try to keep the kissing and sex out of here and two, don't swear. "It started one day in November... I was late for class that day and the only place left to sit was beside Virginia... So I sat there and then near the end of the class, Virginia started to have a coughing fit..."
It took around an hour to tell the whole tale and Virginia explained the whole Tuberculosis thing, yes, I finally remembered the name of the illness. What Tuberculosis was and what happens if you have it and she even told them it was resistant to all antidotes, so it couldn't be cured. Her parents got all teary and Weasley (aka Ron) sat there quiet.
He seemed to be thinking of something and once he glanced up at me, I saw his eyes teared up too. Ah, so that git had feelings for his sister too, although that's not what Virginia thinks. Virginia just sat there, squished between her parents and quiet. Probably thinking things over again... Hopefully, she wasn't thinking of how wrong it was to accept my ring. Ah, did I tell you how beautiful the ring looked on her? Oh right, back to the topic.
Well, I was just there. No, I haven't told them about the marriage yet. Hopefully... No one notice the ring there, "Ginny, what's that ring on your finger?" Mrs Weasley asked. Ah, too late for that...
"Mum... It's..." Virginia looked at Dumbledore and I for help.
"It's Mr Malfoy and Ms Weasley's engagement ring." This time, three gasps was heard instead of two. I winced inwardly and looked at the ground, getting myself ready for three Weasley to start yelling at either Virginia or I.
Silence...
I lifted my head up and looked at Mr and Mrs Weasley, then at Weasley, then at Virginia who was just as confused as me then at last, Dumbledore, that was holding out his hand, silencing them. "Mr Malfoy, Ms Weasley and Mr Weasley. Would you mind leaving us alone for a while? You may go have breakfast right now. I'll call you up when I'm done." With a nod, then three of us left the office and once we did, Ron had his temper back.
"Gin! What do you think you're doing marrying to a Malfoy? Dating was ready too much and now you want to marry after what? Four months of dating? ARE YOU NUTS?" Bellowed Weasley.
Virginia's eyes widened in shock for a second, but the next, they narrowed and it was very clear that she was absolutely pissed off at her brother, "Ronald Weasley. Don't you think that I can make my own decisions and I can decide who I marry or not? After all, it is my life and I think I would like to rule my own life, thank you very much." Weasley opened his mouth, "unless, of course, Ronald, you would like to marry Draco? I seriously doubt that you're homosexual since you do have a relationship with Hermione, don't you? And if you don't let me make my own decisions, I think I should tell Hermione about what sex you like, after all, she is your girlfriend."
"What do you think you're saying, Ginny? Are you trying to threaten your own brother?!" Weasley shouted again, I almost had to press my hands to my ears.
Virginia smirked, a smirk that would make any Malfoy proud and it did make me proud, mind you, "I'm not trying to threaten you because I am... And don't you dare tell me who I should marry or not. If I let you choose my husband for me, you're probably going to choose Potter. Do you know how long I've stop having a crush on him? No, of course not. I think I've just had a conversation with you about not paying attention to me too much around a while ago... Do you think we'll have to repeat the whole conversation? If yes, then you may start talking, if now, get the hell out of my way and we'll be going to breakfast. Draco and I. And we are sitting at the Gryffindor table."
"I don't think so, Ginny! I'm not going to let you marry to that bloody git no matter wh-"
"So you won't even let me marry to him when I love him so much?!" Virginia asked Weasley, almost screaming. I put my hand on her shoulder, hoping to calm her down, and it did. "Do you know, Ronald, that I'm dying? Do you know that? I think you do because I just told you two days ago. I am getting married to Draco and there's absolutely nothing you can do to change that. Even if you murder Draco, I'll marry him." Then she turned around and dragged me down the hallway with her, leaving Weasley open mouthed. When we almost disappeared from his eye sights, she turned around and yelled, "And if you tell anyone about your marriage, I'll make sure I'll kill you personally!"
~*~ Ginny ~*~
Oh god, you know how much my brother pissed me off? Plenty. We're at the Gryffindor table with Draco trying to calm me down and Hermione and Harry sitting across us, looking at me and my Weasley temper. A few minutes later, Ronald came in and was about to sit next to me, which was the only seat available near the 'Dream Team' when I growled at him, "Ronald Weasley, if you sit there, you're going to regret terribly. Mark my words Ronald... Mark my words."
Everyone gasped at my words but decided it was better off being quiet. I saw Ronald gulp and gave myself two thumbs up. Everyone's learned not to mess with Weasley temper the hard way... Even other Weasleys... Messing up with a Weasley while they're not in a good mood can get you in a heap of trouble... He walked away and sat near Colin. I grinned.

Let's just thank the gods it was Saturday today... I was already dead tired by the time I finished breakfast and I hoped I would be able to sleep forever, but unfortunately, another half an hour after breakfast, Professor Dumbledore had called all three of us with Dobby back in his office...
The second I stepped into the office, I heard the cries of my parents. Mum was crying for sure, that I'd know. Probably the truth sinking in... Did I tell you I hate my life? Well, if no, I'll tell you that now. I hate my life. Ever notice how my parents only pay attention to me when something really big comes up? Probably has to do with being in a family with seven childrens...
But then again, that's not true. I know I've said that plenty of times and I do mean plenty. But whenever Bill comes back, she always welcomes him with a hug. Same with Charlie and they'd start to have a long conversation with each other or the whole family about dragons. Then there's Percy that mum's always proud of, same with dad. Fred and George... She pays attention to them plenty, even if they do make lots of trouble. Same with Ron... Perhaps cause he's Harry Potter's friend? So what should I do? Start chasing after dragons or blow up washrooms, or maybe even befriend Harry... But then again, I've been trying for my past few years...
I skipped a year for Potions which is very rare for a Gryffindor since Professor Snape hates all Gryffindors, with the exception of me... Perhaps because I'm Draco's girlfriend or maybe because I'm actually one of the very few that pays attention in class? Ah, hell, why am I even bothering to think about this? No matter how hard I try to be good, they'll never notice me, not even my own family. I look up at the person beside me and he suddenly looks back down at me with those damn sexy gray eyes.
Argh... I hate my life.
Mum looked up at me, then looked at Draco, still sniffing. She better not say no to our marriage... "I've decided... That it's all right for you to marry Malfoy... We'll be arranging the time and buying the dresses soon... Hopefully, the marriage will be ready in a month and we'll have to contact Malfoy's parents and then-"
"No!" I whipped my head around to see Draco, "I mean, no... Don't tell my parents. They'll find out sooner or later, but I rather it be later so he won't interrupt it."
Surprisingly, Ron kept his mouth shut. Probably the result after having me scream at him and threaten him at breakfast. Ah, revenge was sweet sometimes...
Teri – Fair exchange indeed ^^ Thanks!
Helen – Tears... Again... *sniffles* Everyone's crying reading my story, lol.
kim – Yeah, sometimes it might be short, but I can't write a lot in 24 hours... I need inspiration sometimes.
some dude – Well, of course, you didn't seriously think that I'd break Draco's heart, did you? I'm in the 11th year ^^ I'm planning to take AP Calculus next year... My brother took it in grade 12 too. Didn't update yesterday, lazy =p But I updated now! Bitchin' 'bout school is good for your health! ^^
KeeperOfTheMoon - *grins* Thanks!
Isis – lol... But cliff-hangers are good since it's a must that you'll check back ^^ But you'll check back anyways, I'll try not to put anymore cliff-hangers ^^
GoldenRed Phoenixia – You're evil, but I'm evil as well. *winks* I gave you a clue, now no spoiling for others ^^ Yeah, I don't wanna die yet, I have two more D/G fics planned up and have started writing them already!
mary – D/G forever ^^ Thanks!
Jin Munku-JGSPTV – one of the main reason why I didn't update yesterday other than the fact I was darn lazy ^^ I'm a fool too. *huggles Jin* Yup, I did ^^
Draco-lover – Thanks!
kellyanne – Voldie threats? I have Draco to protect me *grins* lol. Don't kill me though, I still gotta write more, ya know ^^
rogue-angel82 – Lucius is digusting ^^ And, I dunno how he'll react to Ginny, but I won't let him touch him
Silver Essence – I think I said that, but I might change plans... This is still the original ending and I think I will make the 2nd ending two chapters long. Start from two chapters before the epilogue... Although I think I'm going to make this story around 16-18 chapters long due to well, cause I did a lot more scenes then I intended to =p Later!
Author's Notes: Let's just say, ff.net is officially screwed up ^^ Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I decided I needed a break from any fics, so I didn't write, but I hope you don't mind! Right, this fic is going to be longer than I expected. Might even be around 18 chapters (without alternate ending). How was New Years?
Other notes: I started writing another fic that is named... er... 'Untitled' right now, lol. And then I've started again on 'Winter Dreams'. Tell me which one you want me to write more about, I'll put the prologue of 'Untitled' after I finish this fic. Anyways, yeah... 'Winter Dreams' is going to be more angst, sad ending I'm pretty sure. And I don't think I'll be writing two endings for that fic. 'Untitled' has a angsty ending at first, but it gets better, I don't know if I should make the happier part a sequel or anything, but I'll think about that once I get there. Thanks again!
