Chapter Four
The Weasley men were unexpectedly okay with Draco moving into an apartment right near Ginny's. Well, right across the hall from it actually. Ginny suspected Mrs. Weasley of threatening all the Weasley men within an inch of their lives if they objected to the move. So Draco's move from the Weasley house to his own apartment went relatively smoothly. Except for Draco's last night at the Weasley's.
The men of the house all got together and decided they needed to give Draco a talking to before he moved it. It went like this.
"Are you going to hurt my baby sister, the only sister I have" said Fred.
"No" said Draco
"Are you going to be dating my sister?" Said George
"I....I....I.....I...." said Draco.
"Will you be continually asking my sister to cook your meals?" said Charlie
"Only if she doesn't mind." Said Draco
And on and on and on.
Other than that everything went as smooth as butter.
As soon as Draco had stepped through the door of his apartment as the legal renter he knew something was missing. Yes, you guessed it. Food. So for the rest of the day he was over at Ginny's apartment eating her food and asking her to cook for him.
Ginny didn't mind cooking for the big goof a bit. In actuality she was beginning to see what her mother had described for her. Draco really was a truly nice, good man. It also helped he was as handsome as a Greek god. Ginny never really noticed it at school but Draco WAS really quite the catch. He was generous, kind, a good wizard; he's filthy rich... the list could go on and on. But now that she had admitted it to herself she didn't want Draco thinking she only wanted him for his money. That would be awful not to mention embarrassing. And Ginny didn't even know yet if she really wanted him at all. He was just really nice to look at.....
On this particular evening Draco was once again hanging out at Ginny's waiting for her to cook him dinner.
"Hey, goofball, you should really start paying me for doing this, you know." Said Ginny as she got out the tomatoes to wash.
"Oh, but, right now I'm already paying for all your groceries. Isn't that enough?" said Draco with a fake heartbroken sigh.
"Nope, buddy, how about paying for all my manual labor, ay? I work my butt off at that hospital every day curing sickness, delivering babies, stocking supplies and then I have to come home to MY apartment and cook for you. Where's the fairness in that???" said Ginny with a whiny voice.
"Well," said Draco, "We could always go out to dinner, you know. My treat.... for your amazingly cooking skills being wasted on my unworthiness, of course."
Ginny's heart skipped a beat and started pounding in her chest. She set down the tomatoes that she was washing and turned to look at him.
"You mean like a date, Draco?" she said.
"Sure, why not?" He said in a singsong voice.
"Okay dude, why not tonight then? I haven't anything planned special for dinner. Go get ready, give me a half an hour and I'll be ready." Said Ginny
"Fine then, I'm game. But you're on the clock, Ms. Ginny Weasley. You've got thirty minutes then." He said
"Fine. Get you buns out of here then. If I'm going to get ready I don't want you watching." Said Ginny
Draco gave Ginny a small bow and headed out the door to this apartment.
Ginny then collapsed against the counter and began to breathe regularly. DRACO ASKED HER OUT!!!! On a date!!!! Whoa... she never really thought the man she had seen fighting in that last battle would ask her out on a date. Even if it wasn't really a date. More just a thank you dinner for cooking for Draco, but still in Ginny's mind it counted as a date.
"Holy Cow," thought Ginny, "only 28 more minutes to get ready!"
Normally getting ready for a date wasn't that much of a deal for Ginny. But this time it was special. For some odd crazy insane reason Ginny really wanted to look good for Draco. So she took a super quick shower, spelled her hair to dry in a blink of an eye, then used her wand to create ringlets in her hair that fell around her face. Ginny put on minimal makeup preferring to go naturally. She put on her favorite black dress that left her shoulders bare and ended in folds around her calves. She strapped on a pair of black sandals with three inch heels that made her legs look as though they went on forever and even then she barely made it to the time cut off. Looking at the clock Ginny saw she had 15 seconds left. Her night was about to begin.
Draco wasn't all that sure why he had asked Ginny on a date. But the more he thought about it the more he thought it was a good idea. They were both consenting adults, they both were friends, and they both got along together.
"Yup," Draco thought, "this was going to be a great evening."
He had slipped on a white button-up silk shirt with a blue blazer to go over it. He just paired this get up with a pair of black pants and dress shoes. Draco was really getting to like muggle clothes. They really were much more comfortable than the robes that most wizards wore.
Looking at the clock Draco realized it was time to go. He left his apartment and knocked on Ginny's door. As she opened the door Draco began to feel as though he was hit over the dead with a brick. Then he felt his jaw hit the floor, hard.Ginny was gorgeous. She was wearing this black number that showed all her right curves and those shoes......wow. Maybe this date wasn't going to be so easy after all.
