Disclaimer: Thanks to my friend Stacy (mysterywriter) I got this idea. So,
hopefully, it isn't too hard to follow. It all belongs to J. K. Rowling,
except the part me and Stacy thought up.
BTW: The egg scene in chapter 5 was inspired by the Real World.

Chapter 6: Actions Speak Louder then Words
Ginny had good dreams that night. A whole day spent talking to Draco wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. And, to her surprise, they even joked around a little. Something she thought she'd never do with a Malfoy. But, then again, Ginny decided that just because some people have the same last name doesn't mean that they all act the same.
But even the best of dreams couldn't stop Ginny from thinking about the wedding. She'd been dreading it for months, and tomorrow was the day she got fitted for her wedding dress. Much to Ginny's dismay, Lucius and Voldemort decided that a few people should attend this wedding besides family. All of these people, of course, were Death Eaters. He planed on Ginny having a few bridesmaids, all of which she'd never met before.
Ginny begged and begged Nacissa to ask Lucius if her family could come. At least her parents, since they knew that she wasn't dead. But he kept refusing. So Ginny felt very alone during the wedding process. Normally a brides mother helps her with all of the arrangements. Flowers, the cake, the reception. Luckily, Narcissa had taken a liking to Ginny, and said she would help her through the whole thing.
Ginny woke up for the hundredth time that night, having another sudden fear about the wedding. This time it was about the flowers. She wanted lilies, but wasn't sure if they were in season. So, even though it was one o'clock in the morning, Ginny decided to go downstairs and call the florist.
As she descended the large wooden steps, Ginny could hear a faint sizzling sound. She furrowed her brow in wonder, and quietly walked the rest of the way down the stairs. The sizzling got louder as she turned into the kitchen, and that's when the perpetrator came into view. Draco was standing over the stove, frying something in a pan. Ginny hid in the shadows of the doorframe, and watched him in silence. A smile curled onto her lips as she watched him break a few eggs into the sizzling pan.
"...Half of one yellow..." He muttered to himself as he tried to measure that out. As he was starting to shake out some pepper onto the eggs, Ginny decided to surprise him.
"Fancy meeting you here." Ginny said, jumping out from the shadows and scaring the living crap out of Draco. He let out a little yelp and jumped five feet into the air, scattering mounds of pepper onto the frying eggs.
"Damn it." Draco muttered under his breath as he examined the damage that had been done to the eggs. Ginny laughed quietly as she walked up behind him.
"Sorry." She said, not really meaning it. Draco dumped the damaged eggs into a trashcan that was already over flowing with other ruined ones.
"How long have you been up?" Ginny asked, glancing at the trashcan and then back at Draco.
"Not long..." he lied. "I couldn't sleep and I was.... hungry." Draco's fair skin blushed pink as his eyes darted to the ground and then back up at Ginny.
"Well, I'm famished as well, so you wanna whip up some eggs for me?" Ginny asked with a smile that Draco returned.
"Sure. But I'm still working on the half egg yolk thing, so it might not be perfect." Draco said, searching the refrigerator for more eggs.
"We'll see..." Ginny said quietly with a smirk.
Draco started frying the egg whites and just as he was cracking the second egg, Ginny interrupted.
"Mind if I help?" Ginny asked hesitantly, watching the egg he was cracking with cautious eyes. He was obviously doing it wrong.
"Be my guest." Draco said, handing her the half cracked egg in his hand. Ginny took it gratefully and showed him how to fish out the yolk. She then cut that it in half with part of the eggshell, letting it fall into the pan.
"See? Easy." Ginny said with a smile, knowing that that simply word would irritate Draco.
"Easy?" He mocked. "I've been trying to do that half yolk thing for hours, and I still can't get it right." Ginny let her secret smile slip onto her lips when she heard how long he'd been working on it.
"Here, you try. Just add two more egg whites to even it out." Ginny said, handing Draco an egg and searching the fridge for more.
Draco cracked the two egg whites with ease, and it finally came down to the half egg yolk. Without any help from Ginny, Draco cut the gooey yellow yolk in half using just the eggshell. As the yolk dripped into the pan, Ginny could see a look of pure victory flash onto Draco's face. His gray eyes lit up and shone a light blue.
"Did you see that?" Draco asked, as happy as a five year old at Christmas. "I did it!"
"Perfect." Ginny smiled, not taking her eyes off of Draco's face.
Draco added the salt and pepper without any mistakes, and soon the egg was ready to eat.
"Here, try it. Tell me if it's good." Draco said excitedly, practically shoving the plate into Ginny's hand. She grabbed a fork and sat down at the table with the eggs in front of her. Ginny took a dramatic pause before shoving a forkful into her mouth.
"Mmmmmm." Ginny sighed, closing her eyes and savoring every morsel of the eggs. They were perfect, and practically orgasmic.
"Really?" Draco asked with excitement, watching Ginny very closely. "Le'me try."
"Hmmm mmm." Ginny said, shaking her head 'no' and pulling the plate away from Draco. She finally swallowed and said simply, "Mine."
"But I made them." Draco reasoned, giving her puppy dog eyes as he made another grab for the plate. Ginny stood up to get farther away, but Draco grabbed her around the waist from behind.
"Lemmego." Ginny laughed.
"You're greedy, you know that?" Draco teased. Ginny spun around to face him and gave him a playful glare. That's when they locked eyes and time seemed to stop. Ginny lost all of the feeling in all of her limbs, and dropped the plate with a loud clatter. But neither moved nor acknowledged the noise. Ginny wrapped her arms around Draco's neck and began to lean in when-
"Up rather late, aren't we?" Came Narcissa's voice from the doorway. Ginny froze halfway to Draco's lips, and instead buried her head in his shoulder, thoroughly embarrassment. Draco hugged her close and gave a little chuckle.
"What are you doing out of bed mother?" He asked nonchalantly as Ginny was practically dieing with humiliation.
"I heard something break." She said, eyeing the broken plate and eggs that were all over the floor.
"Sorry." Ginny muttered, finally pulling back from Draco, her face red enough to match her hair.
"Not to worry. Our house elf can take care of that." Narcissa said with a smile. "Now, why don't you two go to bed. We have to go dress shopping tomorrow." She said to Ginny.

I just wanted to clear up a few things that people said in reviews.
First off, thank you so much to everyone who reviewed. And, also, all of the people who mentioned that the egg thing was from Real World. I can't believe I forgot to credit them! And here are a few specific things I want to make clear, along with thank you's to everyone who reviewed ch. 5.
~mysticat211- To tell you the truth, I didn't even watch that whole episode. I was in total writers block mode, and was just surfing channels. I saw that girl teaching the guy how to make the eggs she liked, and I ran straight to my computer. I didn't even hear the dialogue. But I did mean to credit them, so thanks for reminding me.
~kravenclaw- I'm so glad you asked that. Ginny is going to rebel, but I can't tell you how. You'll just have to wait :)
~kneh13- Very true. Draco's daddy dearest would have nothing to do with a Weasley. Thankfully, Draco has more sense.
~Herbie- I'm glad you liked the conversation. It was so easy to write, cause Ginny and Draco are perfect for each other! I hope you liked this chapter :)
~mallory- I hope you liked this chapter just as much as you liked the last one. It is a tad short, but I'll try to make the next one longer.
~GirloftheBlueFiresofNever- First off, I love your name. Anyways, thank you so much for the review. I think amazing is a stretch, but it made me blush none the less.
~arcticshewolf- Here's more! Not exactly a long amount of more, but still more. Thanks for the review!
~rokkenrabbit- Thanks for reminding me about the Real World thing. I can't believe I forgot to give them credit in the 5th chapter. I think I might go back and put it in. As soon as I have time. Which, actually, might be never if I keep getting writers block on this story. Any ideas?
~Tara-Yo- I'm glad you liked the end of the chapter. Hopefully you liked this chapter too, since it continues with the egg thing. Plus, an almost- kiss.
~HarmonyGoddess- I'm glad you decided to read this fic too! What was it that made you not too sure about it? Maybe I can fix it.
~Hero Hydro- Thank you so much! You're so nice. I hope this chapter was as good as the last one.
~sweetstar- hopefully this chapter wasn't as dramatic. Just good clean fluff. But it will get a lot more dramatic, especially in the next chapter. So get ready!
~TokyoGal90- Thank you so much! I hope that you like this chapter. It's a little fluffy, but believe me, it gets a lot more dramatic in the next chapter. But what can you expect from Death Eaters?
~Alex- "It's great... of course." Awww! Thank you! I hope this chapter was great too. What did you think of it? Too fluffy?
Did I miss anybody? Sorry if I did. But thanks to everyone for reviewing! I'm so happy with all of the reviews I've received! I'll update in no more then a week.
