Draco and Ginny decided that everything should be kept a secret about their relationship. Doing this, it would ensure that they could avoid any unfortunate mishaps with Slytherins, Gyffindors, or overprotective parents. So far, everything was going off without a hitch.
Draco had suggested that the couple use a secret room under the library that he found to have their secret meetings in and Ginny thankfully agreed. Every night they would sneak down there just to be with one another. One night in particular, about week into their relationship, was important.
"Draco? Do you have any siblings?" Ginny asked him, looking at their entwined fingers.
"Yes, I have one little sister." Draco began, "She's five and her name is Bailey." He said with pride.
"I bet you're a great older brother." Ginny said softly when she saw Draco's chest swell. She could only imagine him playing with her, having a tea party with her and her dolls, it was quite a cute but entertaining image really.
"Yeah, she's great but I hardly ever see her. She's only around for about a week in the summer because my father sends her off overseas. He thinks it's a disgrace to have a daughter. Says they're of no use to him. She's too sweet to become a follower of Voldemort or a Death Eater, has to much heart to do so, therefore she's of no use to him whatsoever. He thinks the only use for children is so they can become Death Eaters." Draco explained solemnly.
It was obvious to Ginny that Draco dearly loved Bailey and wished only the best for her. His fate was obvious but also avoidable but her fate was set for her, never going to be able to think for herself, she'd be treated as though she had no rights. A month ago Ginny would have been shocked by the love that Draco held for his sister, but now it only seemed natural.
"I'm sure she's a terrific kid Draco." Ginny told him as she leaned in to give him a kiss. He kissed her back sweetly before changing the subject.
"You know Gin, we really need to do that STD project now." Draco said softly.
"Oh yeah, I brought the video camera, if you want to start now." Ginny said, pulling out a very new looking video camera from her bag. She had had to plead with Hermione to let her borrow it but in the end Hermione gave in because she realized that she was going to be late for some special date Harry had planned for them and she rushed off somewhere.
"That thing looks. complicated." Draco said looking slightly worried.
"It's not, actually it pretty simple, I read the manual earlier. Just push this button and Viola! It records!" Ginny proclaimed jumping up excitedly.
"Why don't we give it a trail run?" Draco asked standing up next to her.
"Okay, we'll tape something funny first." Ginny said.
Eventually Ginny positioned the video camera to where it was floating in midair just a ways in front of them. She and Draco were on the couch waiting for Ginny to remember the spell to start it. Finally Ginny remembered and it began to record so she began to talk.
"Hey! I'm Ginny Weasley!" She said excitedly.
"I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Draco said mischievously.
"We have no idea what we're doing!' Ginny said laughing "And we have nothing to say!" She added.
"I have something I'd like to say actually." Draco said suddenly.
"Okay, talk away!" Ginny giggled.
"Ever since the day I saw you, Gin I knew I couldn't live without you." Draco began as Ginny quite laughing and turned towards Draco. He tunred towareds her and took her hands in his. "I never though you'd give me the time of day, the way I treated you and quite frankly, I put you in the back of my mind, knowing that we could never be together because of our families. You are totally out of my league. When you said that you liked me too, and you sang that song, I couldn't believe my luck and I thought that surely I must be dreaming, but I pinch myself sometimes and I'm really glad that I'm not. I love you Virginia Anne Weasley." Draco finished.
Ginny was speechless, it was one of the most beautiful things anyone had ever said to her.
Draco leaned in to Ginny and kissed her passionately and almost as though it was their first time again.
When the pair pulled apart Ginny took her turn to speak. She didn't have much to say but what she did say, she made count.
"I love you too, Draco." She said with tears in her eyes. She didn't get noticed that often, not by guys anyway and this meant so much to her.
Something popped into Ginny's head just as soon as she said those words. The video camera was still recording them. Ginny jumped up and turned it off.
"Well, let's watch it then, shall we?" Draco asked.
Ginny nodded and she grabbed the camera and took a seat next to Draco. Draco wrapped his arms around Ginny and pulled her closer, resting his chin on top of her head.
Draco watched as he basically confessed his undying love for her and he felt so stupid. Ginny smiled and stopped the video. She turned around so that she was straddling Draco's lap.
"I really do love you. You consume my every thought Draco, I'm so glad you told me how you feel. You don't know what it means to me." She told him quietly.
"Good because I really do love you too." Draco said kissing the top of her head.
"Oh wow! Ginny, look at the time! If we don't get to bed soon we'll be too tired to get up for our classes in the morning." Draco realized.
Ginny stood up and helped Draco up off of the couch before she gathered up her things.
"Draco? Before you leave will you tell me the story behind your song?" Ginny pleaded. She held his hands as she awaited his answer.
"Sure." Draco said while he willingly melted into her eyes once more. "I was sitting in the common room one afternoon and I overheard some guys talking. They were betting on who could get you into their bed fastest. Winner got a butterbeer. It was then that I knew that you really were the "girl all the bad guys want." I had Blaise help me find a song and she said it was perfect for me." Draco explained.
Ginny was in an obvious state of shock. She'd never heard of anyone talking about her in that way before.
"Slytherin guys were talking about a Weasley?" She asked, disbelieving. "A Gryffindor at that."
"Yeah." Draco said, beginning to feel as though he shouldn't have told her. What if she left him for one of them now?"
"There's only one difference between us and the people in that song." Ginny said mysteriously.
"What's that?" Draco asked devastated.
"I've definitely noticed you and there's no way I'd look through you." Ginny said sincerely pulling him closer to her.
"I guess I haven't failed miserably yet then have I?" Draco smiled genuinely. He should have known that he was jumping to conclusions.
"I'd say not." The redhead agreed with him. She pulled away from the blonde and led him out the door.
They never notice a figure standing in the shadows awaiting the departure of the love-stricken pair. Draco and Ginny walked right by it.
"Good night Ginny. I love you!" Draco said to her. 'Oh great Draco, now you're getting all sappy and corny. People probably will think that you've gone positively Nutters." He said to himself but as Draco looked back at the evening he couldn't think of anything he regretted saying or doing.
"Love you too Draco!" Ginny said as she walked away.
'Maybe being Nutters won't be so bad as long as I have Ginny." Draco thought as he watched her disappear down the corridor.
Ginny was completely out of view and Draco too had disappeared into the darkness, but one person remained in the hall. The figure stepped out of hiding and entered the room Draco and Ginny had just come out of.
It couldn't believe what it had seen. Of course nobody would believe such an bizarre tale without solid evidence. And evidence there was.
The mystery figure's eyes fell upon a tape recorder that lay on the small table.
