Chapter 6
"Miss Weasley, I'm Ronnie Sutton, from Witch Weekly, can I interview you about your relationship with Mr. Malfoy?" asked Ronnie, holding the Quick Quotes Quill.
"I'm sorry, I don't accept interviewers using Quick Quotes Quill, let's go, Draco," answered Ginny, and dragged Draco with her.
In spite of what Ginny said, the Quick Quotes Quill continued writing.
"Why don't you let me trash the camera?" asked Draco after that.
"She'll put that in," Ginny answered.
*****
They went to Draco's room to pick up the broom, and off they go!
"I love this!" shouted Ginny. She wrapped her arms around Draco's waist, and enjoyed the ride, as Draco flied faster.
"I knew you would, darlin'," shouted Draco, feigning a Western accent.
******
At the Leaky Cauldron...
Mandy Skeeter and Corry Ash went inside, and saw all the Finalists, except Miss Teenwitch herself in there.
"Where's Virginia?" Mandy asked Miaka, Ginny's roommate.
"She went out on her date with Draco Malfoy, didn't she?" replied Miaka.
"Look, there she is!" shouted Lavender, who went outside to Diagon Alley, for Ginny and Draco was up there, in the sky, flying.
"A good article, this is gonna be, Mandy," said Corry after they saw for themselves that Ginny's up there with Draco. "But people will already know about it,"
"No matter, I'm gonna write it!" Mandy answered.
*****
In the air...
"Oh no, Mandy saw us!" Ginny said to Draco.
"Mandy?"
"Mandy Skeeter, TeenWitch reporter! And over there, Draco! Gary King, TeenWizard reporter is looking at us!" Ginny answered.
"We'd be making headlines, eh?" asked Draco.
"I'm afraid we will," Ginny answered weakly.
*****
After both got down near the Leaky Cauldron...
"Miss Weasley, and Mr. Malfoy, can I interview both of you now?" asked Mandy.
"Yes," Ginny answered, and Draco nodded.
*****
At the TeenWitch office...
A witch changed Ginny's dress to a silver dress, and her hair fell on her back. Her face was maked-up by the same witch, using magic. A wizard changed Draco's attire to a smart black shirt and black pants. He was given some little make-up for the photoshoot.
"I'll ask Mr. Malfoy first, if it's okay with you, Virginia?" asked Mandy.
"It is," Ginny answered.
"Can I call you Draco?"
Draco nodded.
"Ok, Draco, you've won your date with Virginia, how does it feel?" Mandy asked.
Noticing that Mandy doesn't have a Quick Quotes Quill in her hand, he answered, "I'm really excited, it's not everyday that I could get a date with Miss TeenWitch herself,"
"What made you want to vote Virginia into the contest?"
"I'd say I'm enthralled by her beauty, but, it was more than that, when she's at the Finals, I knew I had made the right choice in voting for her, she's very smart!" Draco answered.
Ginny blushed when Draco complimented her beauty.
"Thanks for your compliment, Draco," she replied.
"My pleasure, Virginia," Draco answered, and smiled warmly.
"Is it true that your brother always refer to Draco as Ferret-Boy, Virginia?" asked Mandy.
Draco flushed, and a grinning Ginny answered, "Why, yes. Both Ron and Harry like calling Draco, Ferret Boy,"
"And why is that?"
"Let me answer that for myself, Ms. Skeeter," Draco replied. "It was during my Fourth Year, when I'm still in the influence of my father. I was going to attack Potter behind his back, and Mad-Eye Moody's impersonater, Bartemius Crouch, changed me into a bouncing Ferret,"
"That was mean of you, but then, you were in the influence of your father then," Mandy answered.
*****
The interview ended pretty soon, and both of them went towards the Leaky Cauldron.
"I wonder why you trusted Mandy," Draco said.
"First, she didn't have the Quick Quotes Quill, second, Mandy's more of a friend than an associate," Ginny answered.
"Why hello there, Miss Weasley, and Mr. Malfoy, can I interview both of you?" asked Ronnie Sutton again.
"NO," Ginny shouted, and together with Draco, they walked away. Ronnie's Quick Quotes Quill continued writing.
*****
The next day...
"Mandy!" shouted Corry in their apartment.
"What is it, Corry?" asked Mandy, who's obviously is very sleepy.
"Your rival, Ronnie Sutton, did an interview of Ginny FIRST!" Corry answered, and thrusted the copy of Witch Weekly to Mandy.
Mandy read the article, titled, Ms. TeenWitch Seen With Mr. Draco Malfoy, by Ronnie Sutton, student of Rita Skeeter , and noticed the nearly kissing picture of Draco and Ginny.
"I don't think Ginny answered all this, this must have been the work of Ronnie's Quick Quotes Quill! Damn that woman! Her desire to beat me had resorted her to do the worst thing a reporter can do!"
"Aah, don't you think she learnt it from your own sister?" asked Corry.
Mandy nodded. "Rita doesn't want young Hermione Granger to report that she's an unregistered Animagus, and so asked somebody else to do her dirty work, and the stupid girl agreed to the whole thing!"
******
The Burrow...
"Oh god!" shouted Mrs. Weasley. "My little girl!"
"Huh?" asked Ron, as he picked the magazine up. "That MALFOY GIT!"
"Ron, I don't think Ginny said all this," Hermione butted in. "Don't you read this, Ronnie Sutton, student of Rita Skeeter. She must have used a Quick Quotes Quill for this!"
"I believe that too, 'mione," said Harry, as he took the magazine.
"All right, the article's fake, but the picture???!!!" Ron bellowed.
"Guess we'd have to ask Ginny for that," Hermione answered. "And whatever happens, respect your sister's decision,"
Ron frowned at her.
"Or... I could tell your mum of what we did in your room when everyone's sleeping," Hermione continued very softly that only Ron could hear.
Suddenly, Ron's ears turned bright red.
*****
"Wake up, Gin!" Miaka said cheerfully. "You must have had spent the whole day and night with Draco Malfoy,"
"I did. Any posts?" asked Ginny.
"Those owls are just waiting for you," Miaka answered, pointing to Hedwig, Pigwidgeon, Hermes, Errol, and an eagle owl that Ginny didn't recognise.
"I wonder why my family's owling me," Ginny wondered.
Miaka opened her parcel which contains a Witch Weekly, answered, "Uh, look at this, maybe its about this,"
Ginny took all the posts first, and opened them one by one before looking at what Miaka said. First, she opened the parchment from Hedwig. Obviously, it's from Harry.
"Hey Ginny! We saw your picture with Malfoy in Witch Weekly, what about it? Reply me as soon as you can, Harry, Hermione and Ron. P.S. Ron's really angry," Harry wrote, or maybe Hermione did.
Ginny tore a parchment and started writing, "Harry, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE PICTURE. Tell Ron not to be overprotective of me, Ginny,"
"Hedwig, send this to Harry ok?" Hedwig sort of nodded, and flew off after Ginny tied the rolled parchment onto Hedwig's leg.
Next, Ginny opened the post from Hermes. It's from Percy.
"Ginny, Penny and I saw your picture with Draco Malfoy in Witch Weekly, what about it? Perce. Reply me as soon as possible," Percy wrote.
"I haven't seen it, Percy." Ginny replied, and after rolling it up, tied it at Hermes' leg.
Next, she opened Errol's. "GINNY! EXPLAIN TO ME ABOUT THE PICTURE!"
"I don't know mum," Ginny replied, and again, after rolling it up, tied it at Errol's leg.
And then, she opened the post from Pigwidgeon. It's from Ron. "GINNY! EXPLAIN TO ME ABOUT THE PICTURE,"
"DON'T INTERFERE WITH MY LIFE, RON! I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE!" Ginny wrote.
And then, Ginny opened the last one.
"You and I look pretty close in the picture, don't ya think? Why not we continue it. Draco,"
A warm glow came to Ginny when she read the letter.
"Sure, today's my second last day in London. Let's spend more time together today, pick a place empty of reporters, Gin," Ginny replied.
"Are you going to look at it or not?" asked Miaka and handed over the copy of Witch Weekly.
Ginny took a look at the picture, it showed her and Draco nearly kissing, and is holding each other close. Thank god the twins, Bill and Charlie hadn't seen the picture yet. Bill's still in Egypt, Charlie in Romania, and the twins, off vacationing to the Swiss Alps just after Ginny won the Miss TeenWitch title.
******
Ginny's hotel room...
Miaka had already gone somewhere with Takizawa, leaving the room to Ginny and Draco.
"So, where are you gonna bring me?" asked Ginny.
"Muggle London," Draco briefly answered. "Let me change some money at Gringotts' first,"
"Good idea! That's the only place where both of us won't be spotted by reporters!" Ginny replied. "But how will we go out from the Leaky Cauldron?"
"By using this!" Draco said and then covered both of them in an invisibility cloak.
Suddenly, there's a knocking at the door.
Draco opened the cloak. "Guess it's not a good idea,"
Ginny nodded. Draco pulled Ginny close.
"Virginia Weasley!!!!!! Open the damn bloody door!" shouted Ron.
Ginny sighed exasperatedly. Why must it be Ron who's here?
"Ron, control yourself!" they heard Harry shout.
"Ginny, open the damn bloody door, I knew you are inside!"
"Should I open the door, Draco?" asked Ginny loudly, in a singsong voice.
"Bloody git's inside with you?" shouted Ron. "I'm gonna-"
But no sooner than that, Ginny opened the door, looking so annoyed, next to her, Draco, hugging her close.
"Get your bloody hands off my sister!" shouted Ron.
