~*"Who's she with now anyway?" Ron asked Hermione, but it was Ginny who answered.
"Michael Corner," she said.
"Michael--but--" said Ron, craning around in his seat to stare at her. "But you were going out with him!"
"Not anymore," said Ginny resolutely. "He didn't like Gryffindor beating Ravenclaw at Quidditch and got really sulky, so I ditched him and he ran off to comfort Cho instead." She scratched her nose absently with the end of her quill, turned "The Quibbler" upside down and began marking her answers. Ron looked highly delighted.
"Well, I always thought he was a bit of an idiot," he said prodding his queen forward toward Harry's quivering castle. "Good for you. Just choose someone--better--next time."
He cast Harry an *oddly furtive* look as he said it.
A/N: Harry and Ginny obviously have Ron's support. Furtive means secretive.~*

Draco grunted as he marched up the stairs with another box from Ginny's apartment, "Merlin, Ginny how much stuff do you have? Good lord!"
"Aww...is someone not into shape?" Ginny said as she walked past him, carrying her box with ease.
"Easy for you to say, you're carrying a box of clothes, all these books feel like rocks, have you turned into Granger?" Draco called up to her.
"Haha, no silly. I like to read." Ginny said as Draco rolled his eyes. "Besides, the smart thing to have done would have been to charm them to a smaller size, but as someone has forgotten his wand again."
"Yeah yeah, okay, open the door." Draco said. Ginny turned the key and set her box down on the floor.
"That's the last of it anyway." Ginny said as she watched Draco set the books down on the floor and fall onto the couch. "Aww..thank you, I love you, you know that?" Ginny said as she got onto the couch and snuggled against him.
"Of course, who wouldn't love me?" Draco said arrogantly.
"Well, I could name a few people." Ginny started naming off random people that Draco had had greivances with in the past. "Okay Gin, I get the picture," he said as he kissed her hair.
"Draco, I'm tired. We can unpack my stuff later, I'm going to sleep." Ginny said as she got up to go in the bedroom, but Draco was too quick for her, no sooner had she got up than Draco had her in his arms carrying her to bed. He kissed her and put her down on the bed gently, she got under the covers. Draco got into bed and pulled her to him securely.
~*~
It was around 4pm when they woke up again. They had settled for cereal again, as Ginny nor Draco knew how to cook. Ginny had not learned how to cook purely for the fact that she did not want to be like her mother. Ginny was not domestic and she was just as messy as Draco, he loved that about her.
Ginny was flipping through the channels when she said, "Draco, I'm bored."
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know."
"Well, decide."
"We could go shopping."
"Don't you have enough clothes?"
"No, you can never have enough clothes."
He looked at her, "yes, you can."
"Pleeeease, I've never been to the mall with the escalator!" Ginny whined.
"I don't like them, they're scary." Draco said with a finality.
"Well, if you don't want to go then I will." Ginny said getting up.
"Oh alright, but if anything Final Destination-ish happens, you are once again responsable." Draco said getting his coat.
"Honestly Draco, if anything happens we do have magical powers. But you are worrying yourself for nothing." Ginny said opening the door.
~*~
Ginny and Draco walked into the mall, it was night and it was all lighted and pretty. Ginny wanted to go into the Old Navy, and of course it had to be on the top floor. They had to take the eskalator, Draco was shaking.
"Draco, you are acting like Ron, would you stop?" Ginny said pulling him by the hand with her.
"Ginny, it's really dangerous, you could get hurt." Draco said pulling her back.
"We are going to Old Navy, it is very easy to just step on here, see." Ginny said madly as she pulled Draco onto the escalator step harshly. Draco closed his eyes the entire time. Ginny snickered at him. Then he started murmering something about someone's time of the month. "Excuse me?" Ginny said with a hint of hostility in her voice.
"Sorry Gin, but I just don't trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die." Draco said as they got off of the escalator.
"Listen Draco, a woman is entitled to have any type of mood she wants too, whether it's "that time of the month" or not." Ginny said and glared.
"Okay, please don't be mad, the escalator ride was quite fun." Draco said hugging him to her.
"Aww...Drakie-kins, I can't stay mad at you for too long, you know that," she kissed the top of his nose.
Draco smirked, "okay Ginny-kins, just don't call me that in public anymore." Draco sat down as he watched Ginny pick up about 6 pairs of blue jeans and almost 10 shirts. "Deal," she said as she went to try on the clothes in the dressing room.
Finally, Ginny had picked the clothes she wanted to purchase. Soon they were on the escalator again, Draco wasn't closing his eyes Ginny noted, but he was holding onto the sides very securely. She giggled. "I told you it wouldn't be that bad, you didn't trip and get your shoe lace caught between the steps, fall and get your head decapitated, did you?"
"No, and don't bring up anything that morbid, that is just...ew," Draco said, completely grossed out.
"Well sweety, you were the one who rented that movie and brought it up. We could have watched How to lose a guy in 10 days, but no, we had to watch that. It turned out to be an okay movie anyway though." Ginny said as they walked out of the mall, Draco carrying her shopping bags.
"Ughh...chick flicks, besides, I like scary movies, everytime there is a scary part you hold onto me." He said and grinned.
"I hold onto you whether I am scared or not."
"I know, but it just makes me feel so protective. You won't get hurt when you are with me Ginny, I will always protect you. I love you so much." Draco said. Ginny stopped, looked up into his eyes, and kissed him with all the love she possessed. "I love you too Draco Malfoy, and don't you forget it."
~*~
The next morning they were sitting eating cereal and in flew Goblin with a letter attached.
"Who's owl is that?" Draco asked.
"My parents. I wonder what they want." Ginny said as she opened up the letter.
Dear Ginny,
I am surprised at you, Draco Malfoy? You should have went back to Harry. Everyone makes mistakes Ginny, Harry didn't mean it. The smart thing to do is come home, your father and I can't make you, but you should atleast come for Halloween. We always have the biggest celebration. You can bring Malfoy...if you have to. It would really mean a lot to us if you came, we can't change what has happened in the past, we are not mad at you for dating Malfoy. Fred and George told us you were extremely happy. But, please consider coming home dear.
Love,
Mum and Dad
"My mum wants me to come home for Halloween, she says you can come too, if you want." Ginny told him.
"I dunno Ginny, all those brothers." Draco said as he put his bowl up.
"Fred and George are already on our side, but I don't know if I will go. You know, Harry's going to be there, and I really don't feel comfortable around him, you know?"
"Yeah, well we could always get your brothers to train a flock of pigeons to shit on him." Draco said and laughed.
"Well, I'll think about it. Looks like you have an owl too." Ginny said pointing at the eagle owl on the window seal.
Draco got up and let the owl in, it was a letter from Albus Dumbledore. "It's addressed to you as well."
Dear Draco and Ginny,
How are you two? I was delighted to hear that you two have started a relationship and put your differences aside, I am glad that you're both happy in New York, I have traveled there myself quite a few times. Excellent pizza, if I do say so myself. You should really try the subway, it's a delight to ride on. The reason I am writing is because I have recently found out that you have met Zeera Riddle. She is not a threat to you. That is all I needed to tell you, congratulations on your new relationship, and I hope everything works out. I know it will, infact I am winking at you right now.
Cheers,
Albus Dumbledore
"Zeera's not a threat? What is that supposed to mean?" Ginny asked.
"I think it means that we shouldn't ridicule her because of who her parents are. Well Dumbledore's on our side as well." Draco said.
"Yeah," said Ginny. "If you don't mind, maybe we could go to the Halloween party."
"I don't mind, Dumbledore will probably be there, won't he?"
"Yes, you have nothing to fear, Charlie and Bill are very understanding, Ron is the only one who would pose a threat." Ginny said.
"Okay then, I will make arrangements, and we can stay at my house in England while we're there."
"Okay, sounds great." Ginny leaned up and kissed him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above
Repeat Chorus
I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said
Repeat Chorus
