**I own nothing**
Draco felt ready to take on the world. He had his Ginny, He finally figured out he loved her, and he finally had told her that he loved her....wait...hold on a second...rewind..... That's what he ALMOST had. Draco still hadn't told the love of his life that he loved her. And he had known for almost a whole week now!
"Life always seems to be royally screwed up when it's complicated," thought Draco.
He still had no the foggiest clue as to how to tell Ginny he loved her. It wasn't something one just said! It had to be carefully planned out and played out. Or Draco could do it the way he'd been tempted to all week long. Shout it from the rooftops for all wizard and muggle kind to hear. But, well, Draco figured this might not go over so well with Ginny's brothers. They already weren't thinking well of him so he was trying to stay somewhat on their good sides.
As Draco walked home from work a thought zoomed straight into his head. WHY not ask the girl to marry him, and right before that TELL HER HE LOVED HER! It was perfect! Or at least Draco thought it was perfect. He loved Ginny with all his heart and soul and desperately wanted to marry her.....what was stopping him??? NOTHING!!!
Noticing the somewhat late hour Draco quickened his step as he made a detour to the jewelers. Nothing was going to stop him for his happiness!
Ginny sat up in her bed as she heard a persistent pounding on the door. Looking at her clock she saw it was 10 p.m. she had gone to bed a few hours ago.
"Wonder who that can be," thought Ginny. Draco wasn't supposed to come over tonight. He needed his rest for work. They'd been working him overtime the past week and without his sleep he was going to get cold.
Speaking of cold, Ginny shivered. It was damp inside her apartment. It had begun to rain outside as Ginny slept. Her apartment leaked a little bit; it was an inconvenience of being at the top floor. But the view of the city completely made up for it.
Looking through the peephole Ginny saw that it was in fact, Draco. The idiot wasn't in bed, as he should be getting his well-needed rest!
"What are you doing here, "said Ginny as she pulled the door open to the apartment.
"I had to speak with you," said Draco shaking the droplets of water off his coat onto the floor. Frowning at the water on her floor Ginny lead him over to the very familiar couch near the fireplace. Since it was night the hearth lay cold and empty. With a flick of his wand Draco had a fire roaring and it light up the room.
"Okay," said Ginny glancing at Draco, "what was so important that you couldn't wait until morning?"
"This," said Draco and he pulled out the most beautiful ring that Ginny had ever seen. It had a good-sized diamond in it, enclosed by sapphires that caught the light. The firelight reflected off the diamond and cast sparkles all along the walls of Ginny's apartment.
"Oh," said Ginny, her voice awed.
"I love you. I have since I first was you laying there in that bloodied battlefield at Hogwarts. I love more than can be ever told and I want to marry you." Said Draco his voice breaking as he reached the last part.
Ginny's eyes began to tear. She had been wondering how to tell Draco of her love for him and here he was proclaiming his without a single thought to anything at all.
Ginny drew in a shaky breath and said, "I want to marry you too, Draco. I've loved you since I saw you persuading Goyle to switch sides like you did. Your unwavering strength and honesty drew me in then and now you beautiful love holds me here still."
Releasing the breath he hadn't noticing he was holding Draco embraced Ginny and slowly slide the ring onto her finger. It was a perfect fit.
Life moves fast when you have much too much too fill your plate. Draco and Ginny both didn't relize it as the months flew by in the preparation for their wedding. They both fell ever more hopelessly in love with each other as they spent more and more time with each other. Even the people around them noticed it.
Ginny's brothers stopped pestering Draco about loving their sister when they saw how devotedly he wrapped her finger in a band-aid when she accidentally sliced her finger while cutting tomatoes. Her mother and father both were extremely happy at the match and Ginny seemed to be getting even more suggestive winks from her mother than usual. That was the scary part.
Soon the wedding was only a few days away. Everyone was in a panic. Everyone except Draco and Ginny, that is. They both knew what they were doing and had no doubts about it. This was just another step in their lives, as they put it. The dresses had been fitted, the tuxes had been made. Things were going just as they should and life could not be going any better.
The day of the wedding dawned sunny and bright. Holding to all traditions her mother could remember, Ginny was not allowed to see Draco. This was harder for Draco than for Ginny, surprisingly. The poor man had gotten so attached to his future bride that time spent away from her was torture.
It was like water given to a man dying of thirst for Draco to see Ginny walk down the isle to him. She was a soothing north wind on his warm skin. And finally they were going to be starting their new lives together. The wedding march never even registered in ether of their minds, so were they caught up in each other.
The wedding ceremony flew by. Ginny and Draco said their vows, put on the rings, and shared one very enthusiastic kiss as man and wife. Not surprisingly they also shared one very enthusiastic honeymoon. I won't put in the details, use your imagination. **A/N: NOT THAT!!! Geez, well...actually, okay, it was that, but it was beautiful. They love each other very much!!***
After their honeymoon Draco and Ginny came back home to England and moved into Ginny's flat. Having two apartments right across the hall from each other wasn't all that smart, and Ginny's was the biggest so hey, WHY not move in with each other? HELLO??? They're married folks. I think that's what they whole getting married part is all about. Later that year, as the days flew by, Ginny and Draco moved into their own little house in Hogsmeade. It was the classic newlywed house. A little on the small side but perfect in every way.
Children soon followed the move to the new house. Ginny's entire family came over to help with the adding onto the house. Just like they helped Ginny move into her apartment. Soon the Draco/Ginny household resembled the Burrow and could been seen for at least a block around the entire house it was so tall and held up by magic. As I said before it was a prefect house and held all kinds of charm.
The years passed quickly with many joyful tears shed, and many bouts of happiness to hurry them along. Draco and Ginny aged with the grace of their ancestors. Love forever kept them young at heart and with the luck of not so many, they lived blissfully ever after.
