Draco liked shopping. He liked it even more than some girls. After stopping off at the vaults, Draco insisted for them to let him help pay for
Ginny's things, as payment for staying with them for the summer. Mrs. Weasly kept saying it wasn't nessicary, but he was stubborn and
eventually he got to pay for a new wardrobe, of his own choosing, and dinner for the family that night. He called it a gift.
Around six or so the clan, which had divided up over an hour ago, came together again, and Draco led them to a small restruant on a little
diserted side street close to Madame Malkins. He met the man at the door and asked for a table to seat twelve and everyone was ushered in.
The place was nice, with a red and black oriental theme that made it more cozy.
" Mr. Malfoy! Or Draco? I think you liked me to call you by your first name, right? It's been so long since I have had the plesure of seeign you!"
An old man in ruffled yellow velvet robes wrapped his arm around Draco's shoulders and gave a quick look around the group. " Ah, I see you
have taking to entertaining! I see by the resmblance that they're...family? Except for those two...Harry Potter?! You've been keeping company
with him?"
" What do you mena by that?" Ron growled deffensively and Mr. and Mrs. Weasly were looking like maybe letting him bring them here was a
bad idea.
" Oh nothing bad sir! nothing bad! It's just I didn't expect him to be with such people. I half expected.."
"Evil things that go bump and kill in the night? Seriously, I'm not that lame." Draco grinned and it was obvious he and the older man were
sharing some sort of inside joke.
"Now, now, to your table! It is ready. He took Draco's arm and led him around to a back corner, covered mostly by low walls and ivy.
After they were seated Draco whispered something in the mans ear and he quickly dissappeared. "That was Wang Ai de, he's been a friend
of mine for along time. My mother and father used to bring me here...all the time. The food is excellent, so, please, enjoy whatever you like,
at my expense."
A few minutes later a woman dressed in dark blue with her hair wrapped up in a sort of bun on her head.
"Wang Ao ning!" Draco stood and bowed, curtiously and then went around to take her hand and kiss it, then turned to face everyone.
" This is Wang Ao ning, she's Wang Ai de's dauther."
They talked breifly for a moment, inwhich Draco mentioned to different people at the table, obviously telling her who he was with.
When he got to Ginny, she smiled and he blushed. Draco invited her to saty and eat with them, and she did. Bill and Charlie both moved
over a bit to let her in, and Fred went to find another chair. Draco leaned over to Ginny, " Isn't this place nice? I always loved it here when
I was younger."
" It's beuatiful! And I think Charlie likes that girl...look at him talking to her, tripping over his words and grinning like mad. He's smitten! Even
Fred and George have given it a rest today." She took his hand under the table and kissed his cheek. " Thank you, love."
He felt a surge of happiness and a warmth go through him. Everyone ordered and ate and when they were done, it still took awhile for them
to get up an leave. No one seemed to want to go home.
The next day Draco and Ginny helped clean house, and talking abotu thier up and coming trip to London.
While they did that, Ron, Hermione, and Harry sat upstairs planning Draco's surprise party. Fred and George were planning his demise, and
Charlie was planning a way to accidently bump into Wang Ao ning again. Bill was planning out his next three days, and no one really cares about
what Percy was planning. As long as he wasn't bothering them.
