Something Tells Me You're The One
By Roni Black

Chapter Two

"Hey, Draco!"

Draco turned around in one of the corridors at St. Mangus. "Oh, hi, Brad," he told a young, tall, black-haired Healer, who was walking towards him quickly with a smile on his face. "What's up?"

"You'll never guess," Brad said excitedly, "I've found the perfect woman for you."

"Huh?" Draco stared at him. "The perfect woman for me?"

"Yeah - remember what your father told you, that you must find a bride within six months? Well, I decided to help you about it, since you're not involved with anyone at the moment."

"And who did you find?" asked Draco curiously.

"Her name is Margaret Barnes, she's one year younger than you. Pure-blood and was in Slytherin," he added, "and very good-looking too."

"OK, so when will I meet her?"

"Actually, she's right here. Do you want to meet her?"

"Sure, why not?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ginny received an owl two days before starting to work at St. Mangus. She reconized Seamus's owl at once, and had doubts wether she should open it or not... but she still loved Seamus, she was sure about that. Maybe this was something important? She couldn't ignore her curiousity...

"Dear Ginny, You're probably surprise to get this letter, maybe you're still angry and don't want to read, but please do, I must tell you something. I've been thinking a lot about you in the past two months, and I realized what an idiot I'd been. Ginny, I still love you, I know that for sure now. I guess you're still mad, and you have every right to be mad, but if you knew how sorry I am, you'd give me a second chance... I won't be angry if you don't agree, but, Ginny, I want you to know that I'd do anything for you to give me a second chance. I apologize from the bottom of my heart, and I beg you to forgive me. Seamus"

Ginny smiled happily. She immediately ran to her closet to wear her most beautiful dress, then Apparated to Seamus's house.

Seamus was sitting on his bed. As Ginny appeared suddenly in the room, Seamus jumped in surprise and almost fell off his bed; then he saw it was Ginny, and a smile spread on his face.

"Hi," he said.

"Hello there," said Ginny in a trying-to-be-sexy voice. "How are you doing?"

"I'm not sure yet... depends on your answer," said Seamus, still smiling confidently.

Instead of replying, Ginny ran over to him and kissed him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So, you an Seamus are back together?" Ron asked, clearly unhappy about it.

"Yes," Ginny answered.

They were sitting in the kitchen of the Burrow; Hermione was there too. She and Ron were engaged, and started to think about a date for their wedding; meanwhile, they were sitting side by side, holding hands. Ginny thought they were starting to look like a human bagel.

"Ginny, didn't you say that Seamus had humiliated you?" Hermione asked.

Ginny shrugged and didn't answer. Yes, Seamus had definitely humiliated her... but everyone deserved a second chance... and she loved Seamus, she reminded herself firmly. She loved him, and didn't want to ruin it all resenting him for something he'd done ages ago.

"I haven't liked Seamus since our fifth year," said Ron, "remember when he believed Harry was lying about You-Know-Who coming back and all?"

"You want to tell me you're still angry with him?" asked Ginny.

"No, of course not! I just haven't liked him ever since."

"Well, you'd have to get used to him," said Ginny and got to her feet, "because you'll be seeing a lot of him from now on." And she ran upstairs.

"I don't know why," Hermione said slowly, "but it doesn't seem to me as though she's really in love."

"What do you mean?" asked Ron.

"When a woman is in love, you can see that... she glows, in some way, you know what I mean? She smiles and laughs and dances around, with no reason at all... and Ginny just doesn't."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Two days later, Ginny started working at St. Mangus. The Healer who welcomed her, Mr. Dawes, looked very nice. He walked her to a big office, with an oak desk and shelves, and asked her to wait there for a few minues. "I'll send someone to you right away," he said and got out.

Ginny stayed in the office and looked around. She liked it. She stared out of the window; the sun was beaming brightly over big green fields.

I'm probably going to like it here, she thought, and just as she was thinking that, Draco Malfoy stepped in.

Or maybe not, she thought bitterly and twitched her face at Malfoy in disgust.

Malfoy looked at her as if she were an ant, and said, obviously disgusted too: "You're the new worker?!?!?!!"

"Unfortunately for you, I am," she replied impatiently and rolled her eyes.

"Very unfortunately," he said calmly, "you see, I'm supposed to be the one training you here, explaining you everything and stuff."

"What?!!"

"Yes, Weasley, that's right. Trust me, I'm not happier about this than you."

Ginny stared at him, unable to believe her ears. Even after leaving school she couldn't get rid of Malfoy?

"I suggest we start this as soon as possible, so we can finish as soon as possible," Malfoy said coldly, "because I don't have time to waste, and certainly not for you."

"Fine," Ginny replied angrily.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Later that night, Draco walked Margaret home after a date.

"Oh, Draco, this evening was so lovely," she said, smiling at him.

"Mine too," he replied, lifting her hand and kissing it lightly.

She smiled again, then leaned in and kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back. They kissed for a few moments, and then he pulled away. He was slightly disappointed, without knowing why.

"Good night," he said.

"Good night, Drakey," she whispered back and disappeared in the house. He turned and began walking home.

"I hate the name Drakey," he muttered to himself, "why do all girls call me like that?!"

Why had he been disappointed? He liked Margaret a lot... at least he thought he did... she was prefect for him, she was everything his father had mentioned. She was a pure-blooded Slytherin, beautiful and clever who disliked Muggles and Muggle-borns very much. What else could you possibly want from a woman? Draco asked himself.

There was something missing. What was it? What was it that had made him feel disappointed after kissing her?

He hadn't felt anything while kissing her, he realized suddenly.

What did that mean?

"OK, maybe I'm not attracted to Margaret," Draco told himself, "it's not such a big deal. I can break up with her and get this over with."

But he was nervous. He knew it wouldn't be so easy to find another woman who was everything his father wanted, and he only had now five months and three weeks to find one.

I'll give Margaret another chance, he decided. But he knew the clock was ticking.

There isn't another woman in the whole world for me! He thought desperately.

Then someone's face appeared on his mind.

The face of Ginny Weasley.
