Ok, I know LOOOONNGGGG WAIT!!!!!!
But I got grounded again, got sick… bloody writers block… and sometimes just didn't want to be arsed with it.
And there have been so many people around me dealing with deaths in their family, my grandpa is dying… my cousin like 4 times removed whom I'm close to… his 6 month old baby just died… my sister in law to be's grandpa just died… my friends grandpa… ahhhhh
Sorry…
Anyway… I'm sorry that the wait was so long, I really am! But seriously… And I need to stop getting grounded! But it's not my fault!!!!!! My dad's quitting smoking and he went to my room and ::gasp:: I hadn't made my bed for like the first time in forever so ::sigh:: I was grounded for a fucking (pardon moi) week just for that.
NOT FUN!!!!!

!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!!~~!!~~!!~!~!~!~!~!~!
Ginny woke up in Draco's arms.
They had fallen asleep on the settee last night and no one bothered to wake them up… she had Ron to thank for that. Ginny looked at her hand on their clock. It showed, "You're going to be late you lazy butt if you don't get your ass moving". Ginny sighed and looked at a muggle clock on the wall.
"Nine!!!!" Ginny whispered as loud as she could. Her sudden show of emotion woke up Draco.
"Whatsa matter Gin?" Draco asked, wrapping his arms tighter around Ginny.
"Got so much to do, 3 hours before I meet your parents… three… three… three"
Ginny promptly jumped up and ran upstairs. Draco sighed, smiling to himself, and followed her.
~!~
By twelve Ginny and Draco put their combined robes for the next 2 days (2 nights) into one rucksack and hugged Molly goodbye (everyone else still being asleep), traveling by floo powder to the Malfoy's grate at precisely 12 noon.
Draco went first of course.
When he arrived, Narcissa was there and hugged him, muttering that his 'father' had something else going on, and that he would not be there until dinner.
Then Ginny came.
When she stepped out of the grate Narcissa gasped. Draco and Ginny waited for an explanation.
"She's beautiful Draco, who knew that the little Weasley girl could turn out so well?!" Narcissa gushed. Ginny's and Draco's jaws dropped (though Draco's not so far) as Ginny was swept up in a hug from Narcissa. Ginny hugged back as a house elf came and took the rucksack to Draco's room.
"Now," Narcissa started, putting her arms around the couple's shoulders and walking towards a room. "You two will have to share a room because all of our other rooms were supposed to have been remodeled a long time ago, but the bloody wankers have not really gotten off of their asses to do it."
Draco felt Ginny's emotions: surprised and utterly amused.
"You two will have a fitting for your robes as soon as we get to the side hall and the party will be tomorrow night; Christmas eve's eve."
"Thank you mother" Draco drawled. Ginny scowled at him
"Is he always such a bloody ass?" Ginny whispered.
"Yes, and dear… you can speak up… no-one-"
"She can't mother" Draco explained "Someone put a potion on her and so she can't do anything but whisper."
"Oh, that's tragic." Narcissa sputtered. "That's horrible! And I'm sure she has a lovely voice too… how terrible."
'Boy, your mom sure makes enough out of nothing' Ginny thought, still hearing Narcissa ranting on how horrible and utterly demeaning it was ("A friend of the Malfoy's too!").
'It's not nothing Gin… your voice really is beautiful. Plus… out of everyone you deserve the potion the least.' Draco thought back. 'but I'm sure we have a lovely glazed look on my face that I've never had before so…'
'Oh right'
"But dear… did you say Draco was being a bloody ass?" Narcissa asked.
"Err… yes ma'am…" Ginny whispered, smirking Draco's smirk.
"I'm surprised Draco hasn't killed you… he's quite temperamental."
"Yes, quite"
"You know, I'm standing right here" Draco said. Ginny sensed a great deal of amusement in his voice though that Narcissa didn't pick up.
"Oh of course dear! So sorry! Didn't mean to!!!" Narcissa exclaimed. Draco gave Ginny a look that plainly stated "melo-dramatic warning"
They entered the side hall. There were many, many people standing around with different rulers and fabric and the hall was separated into two different sides by a divider.
However, Ginny wasn't staring at this. No… she was wondering how many burrows could fit in this humongous room. The height was surely just as big as the burrow and the width… twice as much.
Narcissa moved off to talk to some of the male "fashion consultants" and Ginny just stared. Draco noticed this quickly and moved into "old self" mode.
"Bet you have never seen such a big room in your life, have you Weasley?" Draco mocked.
"Stuff it Ferret breath." Ginny hissed, not taking her eyes off the walls. Draco smiled and moved his lips right to her ear
"Why don't you" Draco whispered. Ginny smiled
"Don't tempt me"
"Oh, who says that-"
"Ok," Narcissa's melodic voice came through their 'bickering' (A/N more like a lovers row, eh? lol) "Your tailors are ready… now all of them are girls for you, Ginny and Draco… all of them are men"
"Oh drat" Draco said. Narcissa looked up-hauled that he should say that in front of Ginny. Draco winked at her and kissed Ginny, pulling away and entering his side of the hall. Narcissa looked up-hauled by that too but followed Ginny into her own side of the hall.
The next hour for Ginny was spent measuring ("Oh Miss Weasley, you have the perfect shape"), picking out the cut ("You don't mind being a bit immodest for just one night do you? Of course not!" Of course, they did not hear her protests either.) , And picking out the color ("I don't know why they put you in Gryffindor, you look much better in Slytherin green!")
The tailors were bits of ditses…
For Draco, the next hour was spent trying to fend off the… er… well… curved (not strait) tailors and yelling that he would most certainly not wear scarlet, that it was a Gryffindor, noble color and he despised most of both.
They ended up listening to him when he finally made the point that he was much… well… in charge of their job, and he ended up with dark, dark, dark green, almost black, robes.
When they were finally finished the tailors took off and it was time for lunch, which Narcissa insisted they would go to Diagon alley and eat at "A quaint little restaurant that I found. Now Miss Wea-"
"Ginny." Ginny said (whispered, whatever), smiling mutely
"Right, Ginny" Narcissa beamed "You might want to borrow a pair of my robes… not that they're made for you, you'll be swimming in them with your perfect figure, but… this restaurant is quite nice and-"
"She gets it" Draco muttered. Narcissa glared at him but shut up and took Ginny's hand.
"Go get dressed Draco." Narcissa said sharply and started off, Ginny followed giggling.
' 'Go and get dressed Draco' ' Draco mocked to Ginny. 'Go and get dressed. OH MOTHER! I'll get dressed if Ginny gets dressed with me… hey maybe you could even get me to take a shower.'
He could hear Ginny's laughter all the way down the hall.
Wow she had to cover that up, damn that Draco.
"What is so funny dear?" Narcissa asked sweetly (after all it was Draco she was mad at, not Ginny)
"Oh, nothing Mrs. Malfoy" Ginny said, trying to stifle another bout of giggles. (Draco- 'Damn woman, you laugh too easily, I was just giving my mum suggestions on how to get me to keep up my already perfect hygiene') "Just Draco. He's really quite funny. I'm glad he has such a perfect mother" Ginny knew how to get Narcissa, and she was already wrapped around Ginny's finger.
"Why, I wouldn't call myself perfect" –Definitely wrapped- "However I am proud of Draco for picking such a fine young lady as yourself, Ginny. And it's not 'Mrs. Malfoy' it's mum to you."
"Of course Mrs- mum." Ginny nodded. Narcissa beamed. Ginny almost had to stifle another bought of giggles at the thought of when she last saw Narcissa- at the Quidditch cup looking as if she had dung under her nose.
They ended up picking out a black robe for Ginny (one of Narcissa's very old ones, that she wore when she was dating Lucius.) which fit her "Perfectly, it was made for you. No wonder it never looked great on me"
Which, of course, Ginny replied, "I'm sure everything looks great on you mum." *Wrapped like a candy* Ginny thought (you know… a candy with a wrapper that is.)
Ginny made her way down the "grand staircase" alone (Narcissa gave her directions to get to it, because she knew she'd take forever to get ready). She made it to the bottom where Draco was waiting, jaw on the floor when he saw Ginny. Ginny raised an eyebrow and walked over to him, putting her arms around his neck
"You clean up nicely" Ginny whispered, looking deep into his eyes.
"Y-Yeah and you do too Miss Weasley" Draco whispered, looking her over again.
"You're drooling" Ginny giggled. Draco barked, which caused Ginny to laugh harder. She backed into the wall (which was actually a mirror) she was laughing so hard. Draco raised an eyebrow
"It wasn't really that funny" Draco muttered. Ginny laughed some more. Draco shook his head. If she continued, he'd have a lot of explaining to Narcissa.
Sure enough, Narcissa made her way, gracefully, down the stairs.
"Why, what's so funny?" Narcissa asked, looking at Ginny.
"I just told an extremely funny joke and she seams to have fancied it a bit too much" Draco said… He quite reminds me of Hew… Hue…Heugh… Mr. Grant!
"What was it dear?" Narcissa said. Ginny slowed her laughter down just a bit to hear the conversation.
"What was what?" Draco asked.
"What was the joke?" Narcissa asked as if he were stupid.
"Oh! The joke… the joke… oh it just had to do with Ha- uh scar-face. Quite funny looking I must say."
This stopped Ginny's laughter completely. She stormed over to Draco and stomped on his foot. Draco jumped up once and looked murder at Ginny.
"Harry- and I know you were about to say Harry- is not funny looking and just because he has a scar doesn't make him eligible to tease! And you know that he saved your ruddy ass just by staying alive."
"You're wrong little girl" Draco said in a low voice, anger flaring, foot forgotten. "Voldemort"-gasp from Narcissa- "would have saved my family because we were the ones loyal to him, that's the only thing Harry had to be afraid of."
"You don't have to be such an ass Draco" Ginny whispered, face turning sad.
"Oh but I do."
"Do not! It's not my fault you're a jealous little bastard."
"It's not mine either!"
"Is too!"
"Is not"
"Is too"
"Is-"
"It's Lucius's fault and you two are fighting like little kids"
"She- he- started it!" They chorused. Narcissa laughed a bit.
"I think that you two ought to stop fighting and get a move on. I'm quite hungry." Narcissa laughed. She almost reminded Ginny of her mother… except she would have been sent to her room and told to make up, which Draco would take a different way an-
"Are you coming?" Draco growled near her ear, causing Ginny to jump.
"Don't get your boxers in a twist" Ginny sighed and ran to catch up with Narcissa, nose in the air.
"Only for you Ginny my dear" Draco whispered to himself, not quite as fierce as hoped.
They arrived at Diagon alley by carriage (didn't want to get their clothes dirty by floo of course). They walked through "The Leaky Cauldron" (Narcissa: "Filthy vagrants… if they would stop drinking they could start solving the problems they drink away") and through the streets of Diagon alley. They had gone quite awhile until Narcissa stopped in front of a restaurant reading "Le Mason de le Fluer". They stepped inside.
It was so beautiful Ginny had to gasp, and, despite still being angry with her, Draco smiled her way.
When they got to their seats (in a booth, Ginny and Draco on one side), Narcissa "had to go" badly so she left Draco and Ginny alone at the table.
"Never seen anything so beautiful?" Draco asked. Ginny scowled deeply at him.
"Oh shut up you greasy prat… just because we had a row doesn't mean you have to go and start making fun of me again." Ginny sneered.
"I'm not making fun, I was just going to comment that you have never looked in the mirror if you haven't, because Virginia Ann Weasley, you're extremely beautiful." Draco whispered "And we know for me that's saying something because we both know how vain I am."
Ginny looked on the edge of yelling at him and kissing him. She opted for neither and just reached under the table to hold his hand, smiling a bit. However, her smile faltered.
"Do you really hate Harry that much?" Ginny whispered, voice shaking a bit. She silently watched as Draco pondered this.
"Do you want me to like him?" Draco asked. Ginny nodded "Then I do." Draco said. Ginny positively beamed and threw her arms around him. Narcissa chose that moment to come back.
"Ah, I see you two have chosen to make up." Narcissa said, smiling and scooting into the booth across from them. Ginny blushed and looked down.
"Of course… mother you know… Malfoy charm and all" Draco said pompously. Narcissa scowled at Draco.
"What he means to say is the Weasley charm." Ginny smiled.
They preceded to order lunch (they had waiters here… it was almost like a muggle restaurant, though Narcissa and Draco would never admit to it)
They stepped outside and Narcissa said that she had to do some Holiday shopping and to not follow her because some of the presents might be for them.
"Of course mum" Ginny whispered
"Mum!? You never let me call you mum." Draco pouted.
"You never asked and I never offered." Narcissa said and left quickly, ducking into a shop. Ginny smirked at Draco who narrowed his eyes at her, while scowling.
"She's right, so toughen up." Ginny said and slapped his butt. Draco smiled and took this as an invitation to slap her butt right back. Ginny frowned and rubbed her butt. "That hurt."
"Want me to rub it for you" Draco mocked and made a motion towards her butt. Ginny slapped his hand.
"Not in public"
"So you would have-"
"Not in public" Ginny repeated staring at a spot in flourish and blots. "Is that Ron… that's Harry!" Ginny grabbed Draco's hand and towed him to flourish and blots. Draco smiled at Ginny as they entered and saw the dream team. Ginny continued to run to them. Suddenly she stopped and Draco banged into her. Harry tried to stop them both from falling down, which didn't work, and resulted in a Ginny sandwich.
Harry looked up into Ginny's eyes, smiling.
"You didn't say goodbye to me- us" Harry stated, amused.
"Goodbye" Ginny smiled.
"He-e-ello" Harry said, wiggling his eyebrows
"Lay off Potter" Draco drawled from above Ginny, he was facing Harry. Ginny scowled at Harry (about Draco). He rolled his eyes.
"You're the one who's on top of me." Harry said "And Gin"
"Let a girl on top of you often?"
"Only Ginny and you, Draco, luv." Harry smiled.
Ginny laughed and Draco scowled at her, though she couldn't see it.
"Please get off you two, oxygen might be nice…" Harry asked, a bit breathless. Draco, making a fuss, got off and pulled Ginny into his arms. Ron helped Harry up. "Ah… breathing… Draco, you're a bit heavy… not Ginny, just Draco"
Ginny blushed.
"Yeah, yeah… She's taken" Draco said and kissed Ginny to show. Ginny's eyes widened but she closed them. Draco pulled away.
"Indeed I am." Ginny said dreamily.
They spent the rest of the afternoon shopping with the dream team before Narcissa found them and informed them it was time to go home.
They traveled by carriage again (they really are immaculate, the Malfoys.)
When they finally got home and Narcissa told Draco to show Ginny the bedroom and her way around until dinner (which was to be in precisely 30 minutes.)
Draco's room was Green walls, silver bed sheets with a black comforter, and black furniture. They talked (and snogged) for a bit before making their way down to dinner.
When they did, Narcissa was the only one in the dining room. Draco and Ginny sat down. They waited in silence, fidgeting nervously, a moment. Then the doors open.
"Well… Miss Weasley… can't say it is a pleasure to meet you."
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
SORRY it was the only place I could really truly end it!
Omg!
I'm so sorry about the wait, I really am… it's just… I've got horrid writers block... but here's the joke… well… limerick… it's KAOS's (Emma lol)
There once was a man named Bill Beebee
Who was in love with a girl named Phoebe
He said 'I must see what the wedding fee be
Before Phoebe be Phoebe B. Beebee.'
And here's a one liner from Eric:
Why don't they spell phonetically, phonetically?
Ok, well I've tried to make Draco more in character though none of you told me to… I hope I've succeeded…. And I've been dreading the shout outs because there are so many of you (DON'T STOP THOUGH! IT'S OK) lol… so… please review if you want!
This chapter's dedicated to four people again. Eric, Jenni, Lauren (though she doesn't read this lol), and Justice: four of my best friends! I love you all, and all you reviewers

Cheers
Ginny
