"That was so much fun!" Ginny cried as she sat down by Draco to rest after their two hour pillow fight. They had used up almost all the pillows in the house in every room and feathers were slowly drifting to the floor. Piles of feathers were located here and there.

"Yes, quite fun. I never knew you could enjoy yourself doing such childish activities," Draco stated.

"Well you don't know a lot of things," Ginny said. Draco shoved her playfully.

"Hey!" Draco protested.

"Aw, I'm just kidding. You're very smart and sweet and handsome," Ginny said before covering her mouth and blushing terribly. "Oops, I blabbed too much."

"No, you 'blabbed' just enough," Draco said as he took a stray strand of red hair and tucked it behind her ear. Ginny was obviously quite shy because her cheeks had turned rosy. "You're beautiful and I hate myself for never seeing that in you. I always saw you as Potter's girl-"

"Harry, please? I mean he died to save the whole world and Snape. Give him a chance," Ginny pleaded. Draco looked at her for a second before rephrasing his sentence.

"Fine. I always thought of you as Harry Potter's girl. I was taught that Weasleys were lower than me and therefore didn't pay much attention to them; thus the fact that I adored to taunt and tease you. But I'm so sorry for all that now. And I'm so glad that Dumbledore stuck me in this project even though I thought it was going to be a total disaster. But thanks to Dumbledore, I've know found the girl of my dreams," Draco finished off.

He gently placed his lips on hers and pressed his body to hers. His hand trailed a finger down her chest. He pulled down her shirt a bit, but her hand caught his before he could do so.

"Not now," Ginny said. Draco gave her puppy eyes but she still turned him down.

"But can I still do this," Draco said as he bit her neck and sucked on it sweetly. He trailed a line of kisses up to the corner of her moth before nibbling on her upper lip and swiftly topping his mouth with hers. Ginny leaned into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck.

When Draco let go he was lying on the couch and Ginny was on top of him breathing heavily.

"Wow," was all Ginny could say.

"Ginny?" Draco asked warily.

"Uhu?"

"I know this is quite odd to ask of you now, but would you marry me if I asked you to? I know this is really random, but I need support especially since my dad is probably trying to hunt me down as we speak. I mean you –"

"Draco, I'd be pleased to accept your offer. But as to how to tell my family, I do not want to participate in that," Ginny said as she got off of Draco and sat next to him.

"Really? I mean it's a real big thing, marriage and-"

"I'm sure Draco. I wouldn't rather be with anyone else," Ginny stated.

"I feel so honored…not!" Draco cried as Ginny pushed him down on the couch.

"You're so evil!" she stated as she started to tickle him. In a couple of minutes they both got tangled in a tickling fight.

Half an hour later, they both lay giggling on the couch. Ginny leaned her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his lap.

"Draco?"

"Yes."

"Are you afraid of your father?" Draco paused before answering.

"No, I'm not. If he came in here right now and told me to give you up and tried to kill me, I would fight back. I'm older now and wiser, too. And I bet he's plotting to kill me as we speak. But let him try, I'll try harder."

"So, when exactly are we going to get married?" Ginny asked, wanting to get off the topic at hand.

"I don't know. First we should tell Snape. Then we should tell Dumbledore and try to tell your family. That will be quite difficult," Draco thought.

"Oh god, my family. Oh, guess what mum? I'm marrying Draco! Yes, I called him Draco! And yes, I know he's a Malfoy. But I love him!" Ginny said and quickly clamped her hand over her mouth.

"Did you mean that?" Draco asked as he pulled her closer.

"Mean what?" Ginny asked though she knew quite well what he meant.

"Do you love me?" Draco asked quietly and seductively, whispering it into her ear. Ginny blushed and responded, "Yes."

Draco smirked and pulled her into a loving kiss. Ginny rested her head on his chest.

"Snape's going to think we're nuts," Ginny said,

"Why?"

"Because well, if I tell him I'm in love with you, he'll say I'm too young to know the true meaning of love," Ginny said.

"And how do you know?"

"I'm surmising," Ginny said. Draco caressed her hair and ended up lulling her to sleep as it had been very late at night. They had missed all of their meals, but neither had noticed.

Squiggles came into the living room where Draco and Ginny lay asleep on the couch.

"I am a very good servant, yes sir. Squiggles do good! She leave Master and Mistress and they have funs! What a cute couple they do make. Oh, wait until Master Snape hears! He shall be pleased!" Squiggles said as she covered them both with a gold and red blanket.

~~~~~~~~NEXT MORNING~~~~~~~~~~

"Hmmm," Ginny mumbled before she woke up.

"Mornin, babe," Draco said.

"Where did the blanket come from?" Ginny asked, rubbing her eyes and yawning.

"I said good morning and you're worried about a blanket? The nerves!" Draco cried. Ginny giggled and hugged him tightly, burying her face in his chest.

"Better?" she asked playfully.

"Much. As for the blanket, I have no clue where it came from," Draco said, mystified.

"That's spooky. I didn't know blankets could walk. But then again we are in a wizarding world," Ginny thought as she got off the couch.

"Where are you going? Are you planning on leaving me here, all alone?" Draco stated as he pulled her back into his lap.

"I have to wash up, Draco. Now please release me," Ginny said as she tried to squirm out of his grasp

"Fine. But only because I want you smelling good when I'm fooling around with you," Draco said. Ginny swatted him on the arm playfully and hopped out of his lap.

"You have a dirty mind," Ginny said as she raced up the stairs. Draco lagged behind her.

Two hours later Draco and Ginny seated themselves at the table.

"So, where's the food?" Draco asked Ginny.

"What do you mean where's the food?" Ginny asked.

"Well, you are a lady. So go cook me up something."

"I am NOT your maid!" Ginny argued, appalled at his statement of woman only cook.

"Well, I was raised in an aristocratic family and woman or house-elves cook. Since there are no house-elves, you shall cook," Draco threw back at her.

"I will not cook for you!"

"You won't cook because you don't know how to cook!" Draco said.


"And I suppose you know how to cook?" Ginny asked.

"As a matter of fact, I do," Draco said as he got up daintily and pulled out two eggs and a pan.

Ginny sat in her chair, amazed. Draco cooking? Ginny reached over and grabbed the telephone. Snape had taught them how to use it, just in case of emergencies. Now what was that number for emergency fires? Oh ya 911!

"Put the phone down, Ginny. I will not fire up the house. I can cook unlike some people," Draco said.

"Humph," Ginny said as she replaced the phone into its holder.

A couple minutes later Ginny and Draco were seated to enjoy a fantastic meal.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Draco asked Ginny as he watched her twirl her fork around the pancakes and occasionally dunk it in syrup and lick it off the fork.

"I would if this meal hadn't been cooked by you," She said.

"Suit yourself," he said as he took another piece of his cinnamon pancake, dunked it in syrup and placed it in his mouth. Then he got an idea. "Eat, come on. Look, I'm eating and I haven't died yet." Draco awaited her response while pancake slice dunked heavily in syrup awaited a hungry mouth on his fork.

As soon as Ginny opened her mouth to respond, he shoved the piece in her mouth.

"Daco!" came her muffled cry as she swallowed it down. Draco watched happily as her eyes grew wide in surprise and she licked her lips hungrily.

"You like it then?" he asked.

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore. Give me more! Gimme gimme!" she said as she reached out for his fork and stuck another pancake slice in her mouth.

"And you had to use my fork because…?"

"I don't know. Thought the pancake might taste better on a fork you had used," she said sheepishly.

"If that's the real reason, then go ahead and enjoy," Draco said as he leaned back in his chair and watched Ginny munch away hungrily at the cinnamon pancake.

Squiggles closed the kitchen door and twirled around the room.

"See, me be good elf. Me bring them closer to each other. And I no have to cook! Squiggles very smart, very," Squiggles congratulated herself.

"How about we got out for a dunk in the lake?" Draco suggested.

"Remember what Snape said: Do not go outside because of the war," Ginny reminded him.

"Aw, so what!" Draco disagreed.

"I am not going to have your father whisk you away into some epic battle while we try to swim," Ginny said.

"You make it sound so drastic."

"Good, then you won't go outside."

"No, mother," Draco replied.

"That is so old!" Ginny said.

"Who cares?"

"So what are we going to do?" Ginny asked.

"Why do I have to come up with ideas? I made breakfast, you think of ideas," Draco said.

"And you'll do anything I suggest?" she purred.

"Anything," Draco said.

"Then let's play…dress-up!" Ginny announced. Draco stared at her with shock.

"You're kidding me," Draco said.

"Nope. And you said you would play anything I wished, so come on!" she said as she took his hand and dragged him upstairs to their room.

"You look adorable, Draco!" Ginny squealed as Draco came out wearing a pink, ruffled dress.

"You disgust me," he said as he walked back into the restroom to change into his normal outfit.

She had made him try on ten different dresses, five pink blouses, and two pink pants.

"No amount of therapy will ever keep me from remembering me in a pink dress," Draco said as he sat besides her rubbing his temple.

"Well if you will always remember the pink dress then you will always remember me, so I have no problem with that," Ginny said as she embraced him. "Did I mention you looked adorably cute in that pink dress? It brings out your feminine side."

"You disturb me," Draco replied.

"You already told me that!"

"No, I said you disgust me. Now you disturb me," Draco restated.

"Oh, but even though I disgust you and disturb you, you still love me right?" Ginny asked.

"Nope, don't remember anything about loving you," Draco said as he pretended to stroke his invisible beard.

"Draco!" Ginny cried as she sat up straight, looking thoroughly hurt.

"I was just kidding!" Draco said as he embraced her.

"Good," Ginny said. "Now what? There's nothing to do! I'm going to die of boredom!"

"I got an idea. I'll give you cooking classes. If you ever marry me, you better know how to cook!" Draco said as he pulled her to her feet and they headed down to the kitchens.

Ginny and Draco slept on the couch again that night. Ginny was dusted with flour and Draco had crumbs of the carrot cake they had made resting in his hair. But neither cared as Ginny rested on top of him in his arms being hummed to sleep by his harmonic voice.

They were in deep sleep so they didn't notice Snape arriving.

"Draco? Ginny?" Snape asked quietly as he walked into the living room. He stood rooted to the spot at the sight in front of him. He decided to talk to them tomorrow morning since it was already late at night. He walked silently up to his room and quickly got settled into his bed. Draco and Ginny's image downstairs kept flashing into his mind and Snape couldn't help but smirk.

"Opposites do attract," he mumbled before he slipped into a comfortable sleep after many years of nerve racking spy work.

Ginny sat up on Draco's stomach and stretched tiredly. She prodded Draco on the belly trying to wake him up.

"Draco, you awake?"

"Now I am," he said as he sat up and placed her next to him. "Even though I want to marry you it does not give you permission to lay your heavy self on my stomach."

"I am not heavy!" she argued.

"Okay okay, you're not heavy but you do weigh a couple pounds," he said then added under his breath, "more than necessary." But Ginny heard him and started poking him.

"Pokey Pokey fight!" she cried.


"You're on!" He accepted. They were in a difficult poking time when Snape walked in on them.

"Ahem," Snape cleared his throat. Both of them looked up and blushed, Ginny much more than Draco.

"Severus, I didn't see you come in yesterday," Ginny said as she stood up and fixed her skirt and shirt properly.

"You two were asleep, on that couch, when I came in," Snape said.

"Oh," Draco replied.

"Where's Squiggles?" Snape asked.

"Who?" Ginny and Draco said in unison.

"My house-elf. I left her in charge of looking after you two," Snape said. "Squiggles!"

"Yes, Master?" came the elf's voice as she waddled in.

"I need a report on what has occurred here during my absence," Snape said.

"We didn't know there was a house-elf here! Then I wouldn't have had to cook!" Draco whined.

"I didn't tell you? Well, she was here the whole time," Snape said as he walked into the other room with Squiggles for a report.

"The house-elf was there the whole time and she didn't cook for us!" Draco cried. "How rude!"

"But if she had cooked for us I would've have never tasted your fantastic pancakes and figured out that you are such a wonderful cook," Ginny said as she grasped his hand.

"Good point," he said enjoying the compliments.

"So when exactly are we going to tell Severus," Ginny asked.

"Since he saw us last night he already has an idea in his mind. I don't know what he exactly interpreted of our position last night on the couch, but I think we should tell him soon just in case he has a couple nasty ideas we should put at rest," Draco offered.

"You just gave me some horrible images. But I agree with you," Ginny said as she shivered at the thought of the ideas ping-ponging in Snape's mind.

Snape entered a few seconds later and stood there awaiting either of them to speak up.

"So?" he egged on.

"Um, well, time spent alone with Draco made me realize he's not such a bad person. I mean he can cook very well and-" Ginny started.

"Oh, for crying out loud. I like her, she likes me, we want to get married, end of story," Draco said hurriedly and seated himself on the couch.

"Thank you Draco," Ginny said sourly and sat beside him.

"I see," Snape said. "If only we had paired you two up from the beginning of your Hogwarts years. Things might have gone differently. But marriage? Isn't it a tad too soon? Remember both your families are still alive. It will take a lot of convincing and you two are too young to be in love," Snape said.

"Told you,' Ginny muttered. Snape raised an eyebrow.

"May I inquire as to what you told him?" he asked.

"She said that you would think we were too young to be in love," Draco said.

"And I was right!" Ginny pointed out.

"But we are," Draco said as he turned to Ginny for help.

"Yeah!" Ginny added enthusiastically.

"I must converse with Albus first. Maybe marriage might help cure the brawl between your families," Snape thought.

"You sound like Friar Lawrence in Romeo and Juliet," Draco said.

"Huh? Who's Friar Lawrence? Who are Romeo and Juliet?" Ginny asked dizzily.

"I didn't know you were into muggle books, Draco," Snape said.

"Father didn't like them but mother often snuck some into my room for me. Shakespeare was my favorite," Draco said.

"It's a muggle book? What's it about?" Ginny asked.

"Well, there are these two equally rich and well-known families that hate each other. But one family's son falls in love with the other family's daughter. In the end they both die," Draco said.

"Wow, what a tragedy," Ginny noted.

"Yep. And the last two lines are: There will be no greater tale of woe, Then that of Juliet and her Romeo," Draco  said.

"Wow, so I'm guessing this guy Shakepee was also a poet?" Ginny asked. Snape and Draco chuckled.

"Shakespeare wrote stories in a poem-like way," Snape said accenting Shakespeare.

"Wow that must be hard. I can never get anything to rhyme. Did the families stop fighting?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, they did. But only until the very end," Draco stated.

"I hope that doesn't happen to us!" Ginny prayed.

"No, that shouldn't happen. That story was quite melodramatic," Snape said. "Let me get Albus-"

"Hello, someone needed me?" said a floating head in the fireplace.

"Dumbledore!" Ginny said in surprise.

"You have quite an uncanny ability to know when you are needed, you do know that Albus?" Snape said.

"Of course, Severus. I must always be on top of things! Now a marriage I hear? Yes, that should be a good idea. But let me speak to the Weasleys first. I do not think it should be a good idea for Lucius to know. He is still upset about Draco's side that he chose," Dumbledore said as he winked at Draco. "Molly,  and Bill might accept this fact easily. But the others will be quite a hassle. I will alert them instantly." Dumbledore's head disappeared from the fire.

"Hope it goes well," Ginny mumbled as Draco pulled her into his lap.

"Anyone up for breakfast?" Snape offered as they went to the kitchen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ah, I see the Weasleys have arrived. Please take a seat," Dumbledore offered.

"Thank you, Albus. Now why are we here?" Molly asked.

"Well, as you might have realized, Draco and Ginny have become quite fond of each other-"

"GINNY WILL NOT BE USED IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS MALFOY!" Ron bellowed as he stood up angrily.

"You just broke your own rule, mate," Bill pointed out. Ron shot a mad dog look at Bill and clenched his fists.

"Please calm down, Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore said. "I am sorry but it is true. Young Ginny and Mr. Malfoy have fallen for each other." Dumbledore paused and let his words sink in.

"It's really true?" Molly said quietly. Dumbledore nodded.

"Well, good for her. She's finally found good in someone that was thought to be pure evil!" Bill exclaimed. "I'm happy for Ginny. Maybe Malfoy isn't so bad after all."

Ron looked faint. The color had escaped from his face and he sat in his chair breathing heavily.

"Malfoy and Ginny?" he said in a tiny, squeaky voice.

"Oh, come on dear. Not everyone is as bad as they seem. Remember when Hermione was killed, Malfoy killed off half the Dark Side!" Molly recalled. As much as she had hated recalling the death of Hermione and reminding her son, she had had to do it.

"But mum! He's pure evil! He's teased and tortured Ron, George, Ginny, and I for years!" Fred whined.

"Yes, but he fought on the Light Side! Maybe he isn't all that bad. We should give him a chance," Bill chipped in.

Ron, Fred, and George sat silently. Then Ron spoke.

"Okay, you said they've fallen for each other," Ron said puking out the words fallen for each other. "You wouldn't gather all of us to tell us that tidbit of information. What else is going on?"

"Well, if you must know, they plan on getting married!" Dumbledore said happily.

Ron fainted.

"Ron! Ronnie! Oh, my poor baby! Oh, Ron! Wake up! It's not that bad, dear! Ron!" cried Molly as she fanned her son and tried to wake him up.

"You're kidding, right?" Fred and George said in unison.

"No, I am not," Dumbledore said.

"Shouldn't they wait a bit? I mean they are quite young," Bill said.

"True, they are. But maybe them getting married would show that Slytherins and Gryffindors can get along," Dumbledore said, wisely deciding not to say that it might end the hatred between the Malfoys and Weasleys.

"Yes, that does sound like a good idea," agreed Bill. Molly nodded her head in agreement as she continued to fan Ron.

"Well, it's starting to sound a tad better. But I still find it odd that she found something special in Malfoy," Fred said distasted.

"I agree with Fred," George said.

"Good then you'll come to the wedding!" Dumbledore said jubilantly.

"Yes, we will be there. But as for Ron, I have no clue if he'll ever talk to me after I wed our daughter to Draco," Molly said trying out Draco's name on her lips.
