That's Life

Chapter 4

By: Aly

Ginny smiled at Draco as they walked toward her car.

"So, how do you like muggle living?" She asked.

He pulled her closer as he placed his arm over her shoulder. "Well, I suppose it's alright. Not sure I like the Chinese food; I'm not a big fan of rice. And as long as not all muggle homes have pillows as staple furniture, everything's alright."

She laughed and put her arm around his waist. He smelled so good. "Um…yeah. I tried to warn you."

"Her and Adam are nice enough people I suppose."

"Was this your first muggle experience?"

"You mean meeting them or killing them?"

She pinched his side. "You better be joking."

He looked at her innocently. "Would I ever?"

"I'll take that as a, 'No I've never killed anyone let alone a poor innocent by standing muggle'"

"But what if I have killed someone?"

They had reached her car. "Have you?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

She unlocked his door and let him in, and then he reached over, unlocked her door, and let her in.

"Would you like to know who? Or how many?"

"You mean you've killed more than one?" She asked, trying to sound nonchalant, but shock was still evident.

"It's part of the job."

She laughed. "Like 007. A license to kill type thing?"

"007?"

"A muggle movie. James Bond?"

He blinked.

"Never mind."

She started the car and he looked at her. "I don't like you knowing or understanding things that I don't."

"Do I sense a feeling of male dominance?" She asked, laughing.

"I just don't like not understanding things."

"Sometime you'll have to come over and watch one of the James Bond movies with me then, if it'll make you feel any better. I can't really see how it makes much of a difference."

"I would like that very much. It can be our next date."

"Really now? That would make three you know, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable dating a Malfoy on a serious level." She smiled at him, her voice reeking of sarcasm.

"Well that's too bad for you."

"Are you saying I have no choice whether to date you or not?"

"Yep. No choice at all." He thought for a moment. "Let's see…we'll go down to Dover, my family has a small house there on the shore that we never use, and we can picnic on the beach and all of that romantic stuff." He grinned. "You could stay the night…"

"Why Mr. Malfoy, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were flirting with me."

"Who says I wasn't?"

"Do you want me to get in an accident?"

"Accident?"

"Crash the car into something so that we die before you ever reach home?"

"Am I distracting you?"

"Only slightly."

He grinned and toyed with a piece of her hair. "Slightly? I thought you believed in honesty."

"I'm being honest. Now stop."

"Too bad you're driving. That's one advantage of flying, you can have free hands."

"Draco Malfoy!"

They were now on the motorway, and she sped up. Draco leaned back in his seat.

"Whoa. How fast are we going?"

She looked at the speedometer, "About 100 kilometers."

"Wow." He grinned. "How fast does this thing go?"

"About 180."

"Can I drive?"

She laughed. "No."

"Please?"

"No. I trust you, but there is no way I'm letting you touch my car."

"I'm sitting in it. Doesn't that count as touching?"

"Draco you sound like one of Charlie's children."

"Well….so?"

"He's two."

"And did you let him drive your car?"

"No."

They spent the rest of the ride home with Draco shamelessly flirting, pushing all the buttons on her car, and begging her to let him drive. When they finally arrived in Godric's Hollow he was pouting.

"You can be so mean. Do you realize that?"

"Put a pound in a telly and whinge to the operator."

"And people say that I'm the mean one. They should spend an hour with you."

"I'm only mean when people want to drive my car."

She got out of the car and he joined her as she walked him to his door.

"Do you want to come in?" He asked.

"After all the suggestions you made in the car….nope."

He laughed. "See what I mean? You're cruel."

She looked down at the ground and he put his finger under her chin and tilted it up until she was looking him in the eye.

"I had a great time, Gin."

"Me too."

They stood like that for a moment, just looking into each other eyes. Draco moved forward and they both awkwardly moved their heads toward each other. Finally Ginny kissed him on the cheek and then put her hand out.

"It was great. See you, Draco."

She started to walk away, but he still had her hand and pulled her closer.

"You're not getting away that easily." And then he kissed her.

Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, only he pulled away. She stood there, partially breathless for a moment and then she glared at him.

"You're confusing, Malfoy. Do you realize that?"

He smiled. "You didn't want to even kiss me in the first place."
"I never said that."

His arms were still around her waist, and hers were still around his neck, only now her fingers were playing with his hair and it was driving him crazy.

"We'd better say goodnight, before I do something we'll both regret in the morning."

Realization seeped into her eyes, and then she smiled. "It's only our second date, and I rarely even kiss on the third, so this is a little fast for me."

"Not exactly fast for me, but I don't usually have all of these emotions involved."

"Oh Draco." She grinned and kissed him on the cheek. "You're being sweet now."

"Just ruin the moment Ginny. I was going to kiss you and say I'd owl you tomorrow or something acceptable like that."

"You can still do it you know."

"Nope. You've ruined the moment." He grinned.

"Now who's the mean one?"

He only chuckled and kissed her on the cheek. "Goodnight, Ginny. I'll owl you tomorrow."

Ginny walked backward, looking at Draco, until she bumped into her car. She giggled, partially embarrassed, and groped for the door handle, never taking her eyes off of Draco.

"'Night Drake."

He grimaced but waved and they both went into their separate doors.

~~~~~*~~~~~

The next morning Draco stormed into Harry's office. "What exactly do you mean by seduce?"

Harry looked startled. "When did I ever talk to you about seduction….because I don't remember wanting you to seduce me…"

"Ginny? The bet? Seduction!?" He was yelling by now.

"Why if I didn't know better I'd think you were frustrated." He grinned gleefully.

"I am frustrated, damnit!" He'd stayed up half the night thinking about her. He hadn't thought that he would actually start to have feelings for the person that Harry would pick. And how could he go through with a bet when he knew how much he could possibly hurt Ginny if she were to find out.

"Well good. You were supposed to be."

"Why you little—"

Harry cut him off before he could finish. "If you want to just say I win, I'll be fine with that."

"It's not that I couldn't seduce her…"

"It's that you don't want to?"

"No. I'd…that's not the point."

Harry grinned at the flustered Draco. "So what is the point?"

"Maybe there isn't one. I don't know anymore."

He looked at Draco. "You're falling for her!"

"You can't fall for people you've only known for two days."

"Well you like her."

"She's a good person. We're friends."

"Friends, eh? I didn't know that people got so easily frustrated over friendships."

"Oh believe me. They do. Take you for example—"

"Be nice, Malfoy. You don't want to say anything you'd regret."

Draco just glared at him. "Oh go hang yourself."

"I'm hurt."

"You are not."

"You're just frustrated."

"I've already told you I was frustrated!"

"I'm just restating it incase you forgot."

Draco sputtered for a moment. "If I didn't need you, you'd be fired." And then left his office, slamming the door behind him.

Harry shook his head. "You are falling fast my boy."

~~~~~*~~~~~

Ginny watched her soap operas and ate chocolate, life was much easier on television….except for on soap operas you never quite knew who your boyfriend would be sleeping with…but besides that it was much less complicated. Her phone rang, and her heart jumped, hoping it was Draco. She forgot for a moment that it couldn't possibly be, seeing as he didn't own a telephone.

"Hello?"

"Is this Virginia Weasley?"

"Yes…and this is?"

"Derek Schniger, the director of Songs for a New World."

"Oh. Yes. Hi." 'Stupid, stupid, stupid.'

"We're sorry to get back to you somewhat later then we expected, but we'd like to offer you the role of Woman 2."

"Are you serious?"

He laughed. "We try to be serious with this business. It wouldn't be quite suitable if we went around calling everyone and telling them they were cast in our show."

"I'd love the part!"

"Grand. First rehearsal is Monday at noon."

"I'll be there."

"Excellent. We'll be seeing you then Ms. Weasley."

"I can't wait."

They hung up the phone and she started jumping on her couch.

"I got the part! I got the part! I've got to tell Draco!"

She didn't know how to owl him at work, and she didn't want to owl him at home. Then it hit her. She'd just call Harry's cell and hope he could pass it on to Draco. She dialed the number and hoped he had it on, he usually only had it to keep in contact with his muggle friends.

"Hello?" Harry's voice came quietly across the line.

"Harry? Why are you whispering?"

"Because I'm at work, in my office, where people are looking at me oddly having this contraption up to my ear?"

"Oh. Well sorry if I'm embarrassing you, but do you think you could possibly get Draco on the phone for me?"

"So you don't call to talk to me, you call to talk to my boss. Thanks. I feel special."

"You should. Now get Draco."

"What do you say?"

"Please?"

"Please what?"

"Please Harry baby can you pass your phone on to Draco."

"Of course sugarkins."

"I'm going to kill you."

"I know."

There was silence and then yelling. "Hello?!"

"Ouch! Geez Malfoy, you don't have to scream."

"Oh. Sorry. I haven't exactly used one of these things before."

"Guess what?"

"What?" He sounded slightly annoyed, but Ginny ignored it.

"You have to guess."

"Ginny, unlike you I'm at a job. I could be busy at the moment."

"Actually, I have a job."

"What?"

"I got cast!"

"You have a cast? How did you break a bone? And why didn't you go to a witch doctor, those muggles don't know anything about how to heal. I bet Liz was with you. That featherbrained—"

She laughed. "No no. I was cast. As in I made the show I auditioned for."

"Oh. I suppose that's great."

"You sound so happy for me."

"Well maybe I would be if I had a clue what you were talking about, but we could still go celebrate. I'm actually busy tonight, how about Monday?"

"I'll be in rehearsal, probably everyday this week…and for the next few months."

"Months?"

"That's what rehearsals mean. Lots of work and lots of time."

"Does that mean I won't be able to see you for months?"

"Would you want to?"

"Of course."

"The thing is, rehearsals are usually in the evenings and afternoons. And you have to work in the mornings and afternoons."

"We could always meet during my lunch break."

'He actually cares.' She was somewhat shocked. "I'm sure we can work something out."

"We better. I'm really starting to care about you Gin, and not seeing you for even a week sort of puts a damper in my day let alone the relationship we'll be having."

"You like to plan things without my knowledge don't you?"

"I've planned our wedding for November third. Think you can be there?"

She laughed. "I can try to fit it into my schedule."

"Good, because that's one thing you can't really do with one person."

"You could always marry yourself you know."

"Not sure it'd be the same."

She laughed again. "I suppose you have to go back to work?"

"Sadly yes. But is this contraption the only way I'll be able to get a hold of you for a while?"

"Probably. It's easier 'cause I always have it with me."

"So I could use it to get a hold of you while you rehearse?"

"…Sometimes."

"I'll have to buy one then."

She laughed. "Alright. Talk to you later, Draco. I'm still expecting that owl."

"You'll get one. Talk to you later, love."

And then he hung up, or dropped the phone, or something. Either way the connection was cut.

Ginny held the phone close to her. "He called me love."
