A/N: A song called "Upside Down Rainbow" inspires this fic. It screams "Draco and Ginny", since I love the couple so much I thought I'd write a fic for them. This song is translated from it's Romaji Lyrics so it's not very American, it's more like a poem to those who aren't familiar with Anime or J-Pop music. Please Read and Review!!

"Upside Down Rainbow" by manhattans dream

Chapter One: The Promise ----- "Ginny I love you"

"Draco---I" Ginny trailed off, on the verge of tears.

"I-I know" Draco replied his voice weakened.

Ginny smiled weakly "I love you too, but our parents--"

"Wouldn't agree" Draco finished for her.

"Your father hates my father to the bone, and it's likewise" Ginny said stroking his cheek.

Draco took her hand and kissed it.

"Draco, I will always love you and that will never change. But I'm afraid what our love will do to our families. I don't know what I would do if my parents--" Ginny let out a sob "Disowned me".

"What do we do?" Draco asked starring deep into her eyes.

"I'm not-----" Ginny's eyes lightened a bit. "In ten years, Draco we could meet if we still love each other".

Draco's eyes widened.

"Draco, life without you for ten years will be miserable but if we wait ten years and still love each other then it will be worth taking the risk"

"That-makes sense I guess" Draco replied.

"At the Three Broomsticks, in ten years we'll meet at the table by the window---that is if you still love me" Ginny said softly.

"I'll always love you Ginny, and I'll be there no matter what" Draco said pulling her into a tight embrace.

"No matter what" Ginny repeated hugging him tightly.

----------------------------9 years 355 days later

Draco dipped his feather pen in his ink jar and wrote down his next appointment. Draco pressed his intercom button. "Esme?" he asked.

"Yes Sir?" a female voice replied.

"You can leave early tonight if you please" Draco said.

"Thankyou Sir, I will" the voice replied.

Several minuets passed until he heard the door outside close.

Draco relaxed into his leather office chair and closed his eyes. A smiled formed on Draco's face as he recalled his conversation with a certain Hogwarts Retiree earlier---

----------- "Draco I think you should take over as Potions Master now that I have retired" Professor Snape said smirking at him.

"You do? Really?" asked Draco grinning.

Snape nodded.

"Did Headmaster agree?" Draco asked raising an eyebrow.

"Ah, She is young and eager to prove herself I can easily get her to except you" Snape replied.

"Yes She is rather young isn't she" Draco replied frowning a bit.

"Unusual Yes, but was taught directly by Dumbledore and he passed the duty onto her this year.

"Very Unusual, thought he'd choose Saint Potter to take over" Draco said laughing.

"He wouldn't take it, he is said to had his first child" Snape replied.

"Potter has a kid, I feel sorry for the poor child" Draco laughed.

"When are you planning to marry Draco?" asked Snape raising an eyebrow.

"You sound like my father, he is eager for me to carry the Malfoy bloodline along" Draco replied, blushing slightly.

"Well?"

"To tell you the truth I don't think I will get married it doesn't seem to work" Draco said stirring his coffee mixing in his coffee mug.

"Your father won't like that" Snape said seriously.

"God! I know it! I have to carry on the Malfoy blood, but I truly haven't found any woman I'm remotely interested in" Draco said bumping his head on the table.

Snape sipped his tea watching Draco.

Draco sighed, When would he finally marry?

----------- Ginny pulled her black coat on over her robes and hurried out her office doors and into the cold. "I hate snow!" whined Ginny running to the street corner and waving one of her hands in the air for a taxi.

A yellow taxi pulled up.

Ginny hurried inside, "Fifth Avenue" Ginny instructed the Driver.

"Yes Ma'am" the driver replied speeding off.

Ginny starred out her window, looking inside shop windows. A bridal shop caught her attention. IN the window a beautiful white dress, shoulder cut, flowing beyond the feet, a beaded top part, and a large white bow in the back. Ginny's eyes softened, a male manikin wearing a black tuxedo next to it. Ginny hadn't gotten married yet, after she graduated Ginny didn't date anyone, and didn't want to. Ginny had never found any other man since..Draco.

Memories of that night flooded into her head, the promise of eternal love, their families' hatred for each other, and the ten years they said they'd wait to meet each other again if their love was still strong.

Tears strolled down her rosy cheeks, she had forgotten about it until now. The pain of separation was always there since the two were forced to end their love. After a while she told herself to forget.

Draco would forget----It had been about ten years he was probably married with a kid by now. He wouldn't show up at the Three Broomsticks---in-----

"One week!" Ginny shouted out.

The driver turned and looked at her, "Are you alright Ma'am?"

"Yes---I'm f-f-fine" Ginny replied, her eyes wide from shock.

Would he be there? Would Draco be sitting at the table by the window at the three broomsticks waiting for her in exactly one week? Would she?
