Betrothed
Chapter Seven - Engagement Party

Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter characters or the Harry Potter world. I do, however, own my plot, seeing as how in came from my brain. I anyone sees something that may belong to them, I'm sorry, I have no intention on stealing anything from anyone. (unless they're sugar cookies!)

"Engaged?!?" Harry Potter exclaimed incredulously. "Who would marry you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Draco Malfoy asked putting his empty wine glass on a passing waiter's tray.
"Well for starters.." Harry began after he took a sip of his Chardonnay.
Three men were standing around in the decently crowded ballroom of the Malfoy Manor discussing the future of Draco Malfoy and the stupidity of the future Mrs. Malfoy. They could get along well enough-if they were forced to.
"She must have been really stupid or really easy." Harry said laughing.
"You say that again, Potter," Draco said, his face as hard as stone. "And I swear, I'll twist your scar covered head right off your shoulders."
"Yeah, Harry," Ron muttered. "That wasn't cool."
Harry looked aghast. Was this Ron? A Weasley taking up for a MALFOY? "Ron? Have you left your brain behind?"
"It's not that I'm taking his side. Believe me, I'm against this more than anything else it's just." Ron shook his head and trailed off.
"It's just what, Ron?" Harry asked. "Is this what you wouldn't tell me? Okay, so Draco, tell me. What the crap is going on?"
"He's going to marry." Ron tried to say it, but he just couldn't believe that it was true. "His bride is."
"Virginia Rose Weasley." Draco said with a smug look complementing his blonde hair.
"Virginia? As in Ginny? Who calls her Virginia anyway?" Harry rambled on, in disbelief.

"Okay, Gin, what's up?" Hermione said. The two girls were in an abandoned sitting room. Ginny looked at Hermione nervously and sat down in a nearby couch. Ginny took a deep breath.
"Okay, Hermione..this is a little bit surprising but-I don't know, I mean, I don't even know how to start. I'm not sure what do say."
Hermione sat next to Ginny on the couch and put a comforting arm around her friend.
Ginny looked over at her friend and closed her eyes for a minute. "I'm getting married to a man," Ginny paused to collect her thoughts, "and I don't even know if I am in love."
"Well, Ginny, that's not so-"
"That's not it." Ginny interrupted her friend. "I mean, they way we-and the reasons why we-" Ginny trailed off. "You've got to keep it low key. No one else knows, and I need a girl friend to talk to."
Suddenly Ginny began having second thoughts about telling Hermione. She got nervous. Would Hermione really understand?
"You can tell me, Ginny." Hermione said soothingly.
Ginny bit her lip. "I uh, actually, Hermione, I've got to be going." Ginny stood up.
"Ginny-" Hermione stood up as well.
"Draco will be wondering where I am." Ginny said nervously. She hugged her friend and fled from the room.
"Ginny!" Hermione called after her. "Ginny! What's wrong?"
Hermione sighed. What was going on??
~*~*~*~*~
Virginia Rose scanned the ball room looking for her fiancée. She grabbed a glass of white wine from a passing waiter. She finally spotted him talking with Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Red hair, blonde hair, and black hair, clustered together in a circle.
She went towards him quickly, her black heels clicking on the marble floor.
"Virginia, hello." Draco Malfoy said, "Where have you been off to?"
"Oh," Ginny threw on a sweet smile for sake of company, "Just around."
"Hello, Ginny," Harry said. "What a surprise."
"Oh, hello Harry; hello Ron!" Ginny said, giving each a kiss on the cheek. She went and stood by Draco, who put his arm around her. Harry's face hardened.
"Virginia Rose Malfoy." Harry said. "Sounds delightful."
Ginny could feel Draco tighten. She threw him a look.
"Hermione certainly thinks so," Ginny said with a smile.
Harry looked away for a second, not saying anything.
"Draco," Ginny said, "I'm not feeling well, do you think we could go upstairs?"
"You look fine to me, Ginny." Draco said.
"I'm not feeling well, Draco." Ginny said with more emphasis. "Let's go."
"Right, let's go." Draco said. As the two were walking away, Draco turned to Ron and Harry and grinned. "You know what that means, don't you?" He waggled his eyebrows.
Harry lunged for him. "Why you-"
Ron held him back. "It'll just make Ginny mad," He murmured.
"Harry!" Ginny exclaimed. "Draco, you stop that! Stop antagonizing them!"
Draco Malfoy rolled his eyes. "Come along, sweetheart," he said to Ginny. "Let's go upstairs."
Virginia Weasley looked at him wearily and sighed. She leaned into him as he put his arm around her and the left sight of the famous Gryffindor Trio.
