Chapter 7
"No, Ron. I'd rather like having Draco's hands on me," Ginny said.
"Ron!" Hermione warned, her eyes glittering, which said, 'Do you want me to tell your secret to your mother or not?'
"Okay, okay. I won't do anything, but ferret boy, don't you ever dare hurt my sister!" shouted Ron again.
"You and Malfoy going out, Gin?" asked Harry.
Ginny nodded. "We are going to a place where no reporters are gonna see us,"
"Well, in that case, let's go away, Ron, 'mione," Harry said. "Bye Gin, take care of her, Malfoy,"
"I will, Potter," Draco answered.
And the dream team went away, with Ron slamming the door.
"Your brother stopped when Granger glittered her eyes at him, I wonder why," Draco wondered.
"Oh yeah. I think Ron and Hermione has a secret that none of us knows," Ginny answered.
"Maybe they are couples," Draco joked. Ginny shrugged.
"You are still thinking of going into Muggle London?" asked Ginny again.
"Yes, let's go," Draco said, and donned the invisibility cloak on both of them.
Together, they exited the Leaky Cauldron, towards the door that led to Muggle London.
*****
Muggle London
Draco took off the invisibility cloak in a dark alley, where there's no Muggles.
"You changed all the money already?" asked Ginny.
"Yup, I did," Draco answered. "So, where do you wanna go first?"
"Let's visit the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Millenium Dome, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, and pretend that we are tourists" Ginny answered, and giggled.
"Virginia, we *are* tourists," Draco said, chuckling. "Let's go to the Tower of London first, then,"
******
The Tower of London...
Both Draco and Ginny listened attentively to the yeoman who was explaining about the history of the tower to the tourists' group which included both of them.
"This place is really creepy," Ginny admitted. Draco nodded in agreement. Though both of them were familiar with ghosts around Hogwarts, it's not the same as looking at the ghosts which resided in the tower. Nearly headless Nick might be murdered using an axe, but the ghosts residing at the tower was chopped fully at the head, and the head was publicly displayed during the Tudor times.
By the time the tour ended, Ginny was shivering. "I wouldn't like to go there at night, you know..."
she said. Draco nodded.
Next, they went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and saw a wax figurines of everyone, everybody who is Muggle, that is. Though all the Muggle figurines were lifelike, both Draco and Ginny watched all of them with little excitement.
They saw expensive furniture and the potraits of the present royal family at Buckingham Palace, but the place they both rather like, is Trafalgar Square, with lots and lots of doves around. They stopped by at a Muggle restaurant to eat Fish & Chip, before going to Harrods.
At Harrods, Draco bought a Paco Rabane perfume, Ultraviolet, both male and female version. He wanted to give the female version to Ginny. They then went to Oxford Street, which is said to be the most expensive part of Muggle London, which truthfully is.
***********
They were back at the Leaky Cauldron at around 9 pm, and slipped to Ginny's room. Miaka's not around, and probably still with Takizawa.
"Can't believe tommorow's my last day here, before going back home, that is," Ginny sighed.
Draco held her close. "And two weeks later, Hogwarts. You'll be in your sixth year, and I'll be in my seventh," Draco said.
"I know... and O.W.Ls hasn't come out yet, hope I get high O.W.Ls," Ginny sighed. "Maybe I could get transferred straight to seventh year,"
"And be a prefect and head girl?" Draco asked.
"Prefect, probably, but head girl, naah, that's Hermione's job. What about you? Aren't you Quidditch captain this year?" Ginny asked instead.
"Not sure, it depends on the team, if they want me as captain, then, I'll be one. What about you? Still gonna play as chaser?"
"Yup, I can't wait to use my Firebolt for Females at Hogwarts," Ginny answered, and sighed again.
"Ginny.."
Ginny turned, and Draco kissed her instantly. His teeth lightly nibbled her lower lip, and he thrusts his tongue inside her mouth, and her tongue met his, and she also nibbled on Draco's lower lip. Draco held her closer, and Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck.
The kiss seemed to last forever, until Miaka and Takizawa came into the room, snogging like its the end of the world as well. Miaka's eyes opened abruptly when she saw Draco and Ginny kissing as well.
Ginny broke off the kiss, and Miaka did the same with Takizawa. Both boys gave their respective partners a puzzled look.
"We aren't the only ones in the room," Ginny said to Draco, and Miaka said the same thing to Takizawa.
"Oh, hi Draco-san," Takizawa said abruptly.
"Hello, Takizawa," Draco greeted.
"Well, Mandy might be here soon to check up on both Gin and I, our curfew's at 9, remember?" Miaka asked.
"Oh yeah, see you tomorrow, Gin," Draco said, and gave Ginny a peck at the forehead.
"After the farewell party for Miss TeenWitch contest, and photo taking session," Ginny answered.
Takizawa had already said his goodbyes, and is already out of the door.
"Ok, bye," Draco said, and went out.
Fortunately he missed Mandy Skeeter narrowly, since she didn't see him as she went to check on Ginny and Miaka.
******
"So, what happened during your date at Muggle London?" asked Miaka.
"Oh, the usual, what about you?" Ginny asked instead.
"Umm, Takizawa brought me over to the Quidditch Museum, though I don't really like Quidditch, but its worth a visit," Miaka answered. "Plus, no reporters were there at the Quidditch museum, and lucky me,"
"Really? Darn, I should've gone there instead of Muggle London, though I enjoyed my time over there," Ginny replied. "You sure there's no reporters?"
"Positive," Miaka answered.
*****
The next day...
Miaka screamed!
"What is it?" asked Ginny, and saw Miaka holding a copy of TeenWitch, Special Edition.
"Look at this!" she answered. And at the cover page, Miaka and Takizawa holding hands, and the headlines on the cover screamed, 'Gossips of TeenWitch finalists inside!'
"Miss TeenWitch of Asia was seen together with her date, Takizawa Hediaki in Quidditch Museum yesterday. The pair looked totally in love!" writes Corry Ash. "Miss TeenWitch of Africa was seen snogging a boy in a corridor in the Leaky Cauldron, in front of everybody!" Corry Ash continued."Miss TeenWitch of America was seen double dating with Lavender Brown, Miss TeenWitch finalist from Europe and the UK, but unfortunately, Miss TeenWitch herself, Virginia Weasley were not seen anywhere in Diagon Alley at all, after her date on a broomstick with Draco Malfoy,"
"Miaka, there's nothing wrong there, this is not so bad! Think of the article Ronnie Sutton wrote about me," Ginny said. "And besides, we should accept this,"
"Yeah,"
A few minutes later, Mandy Skeeter knocked their door. Ginny opened it.
"Good Morning, Virginia, and Miaka. I thought I heard a scream from here just now," Mandy said.
"Oh, Miaka screamed just now, when the TeenWitch, Special Edition came. She's so sure that there's no reporters at the Quidditch Museum,"
Mandy laughed. "Corry didn't see both you and Takizawa, Miaka. Someone else did. Corry just writes it out,"
"Ok, both of you freshen yourself up and be downstairs in 10 minutes,"
"Yes, Mandy," said both of them.
*****
Downstairs...
Ginny, already wearing the tiara and the Miss TeenWitch sign, sat alongside Miaka, Sarah, Roxanne, and Georgina, each wearing the sign 'Miss TeenWitch Top Fives'. Lavender and the rest sat at another table.
"Good morning girls!" greeted Corry Ash. "Today, is unfortunately, your last day in London before going home,"
"And, we all know how sad all of you will, although all of you must be anticipating what awaits you at home," Mandy said.
"But, before we let all of you go and face the real world, this is a little feast for all of you," Mandy continued.
Food of different varieties, mainly, Oriental, Mediterranean, and Asian appeared magically on the table.
"But before that, we'd like to invite Virginia Weasley, Miss TeenWitch, to say a few words," Corry announced.
Ginny got up and went onto the podium.
"Hi everybody! First of all, I'd like to say thank you to Mandy, Corry and Alyssa who had taken care of me and the others while we are here. Thank you to Miaka, who's been a very helpful and cooperating roommate, and thanks for being a good friend while I'm here. Thanks to all others who's been with me all along, when we explore the Muggle world, Bath and Stonehenge. With the Firebolt in my possesion, I assure all of you that I will put it to good use and..." Ginny said.
Lavender interrupted, "Go Gryffindor!"
"Yes, that one, Lavender, I'm gonna use the Firebolt to win matches for Gryffindor, at Hogwarts," Ginny continued. "I do hope that all of us can meet again in the near future, as all of us will be at school,"
"And once again, thank you everybody, for giving me memories of the times we spent, during Miss TeenWitch contest," Ginny finished.
"Thank you, Miss TeenWitch, for your speech," Alyssa said after that.
******
Once they are back in their room, Miaka packed her suitcase because she will be portkeying back to Japan at 7 pm.
"Need any help, Miaka?" Ginny asked.
"Oh, no, no, you don't need to help me, do your own packing first, Ginny," Miaka answered.
"Nope, I'm not packing yet. My parents are coming here tomorrow, to buy school stuffs," Ginny replied. "Hogwart's starting in two weeks,"
"Oh," Miaka said. "Well, in that case, let's go and walk along Diagon Alley. I could resume the packing after that,"
Ginny nodded.
*****
They walked along Diagon Alley, looking at shops all around them. Miaka bought a polaroid Instand Wizard Camera at one of the shops, and both of them spent quite a while at Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasion.
"I wish I could bring you over at my brothers' shop, Weasley Wizard Wheezes, but, unfortunately, both of them are on vacation," Ginny said. "But, let's walk along and see if they are open,"
The WWW is indeed closed, but the sign says 'Open'.
"Ginny, it said open," Mandy said. "Let's go,"
But, before them, a group of three boys, who looked at the sign 'Open', and one of them decided to turn the knob and enter the shop. Instead, what happened was... a smoke erupts, and the one who tried turning the knob turned into a canary, and the others laughed at him. He soon turned back to normal, and laughed as well, and two voices can be heard, saying...
"Sorry folks! We are still close, and will be opened next week! Hope you enjoy the free Invisible Canary Cream!" the voices said.
"Thank god, we weren't the one who decided to turn the doorknob," Miaka said, and giggled.
Then, they ate some ice-cream at Forlean Fortsescue, before returning back to the hotel.
They took two pictures of themselves, one for Ginny to keep, while the other for herself.
At 6.30 pm...
Corry Ash knocked their door.
"Virginia, Miaka, are you still in there?" asked Corry from the outside.
"Yeah, we are still here, is that you, Corry?" asked Ginny, and then opened the door.
"Virginia, why aren't you packing?" asked Corry.
"My family will come here tomorrow to do some Hogwarts shopping," Ginny explained.
"Oh, I see. Miaka, are you ready? Mr. Hediaki's already waiting for you downstairs," Corry replied.
"Let me carry your suitcase for you, Miaka," Ginny offered.
"Arigato," Miaka answered.
The three of them walked downstairs towards the portkey points. All of them are portkeying from the same place using different portkeys.
"Ginny, why aren't you going home?" asked Lavender, who's going home.
"My family will be coming here tomorrow," Ginny answered.
Diana, Roxanne and the rest of the American Delegates portkeyed first. Ginny hugged both Diana and Roxanne.
"Bye Diana, Roxanne, hope we'll meet again," Ginny said to both of them.
"Goodbye, Virginia," they replied to her, and after a while, vanished with the delegate.
Next, the African delegates, and Sarah and Kelly.
"Goodbye, Sarah, Kelly,"
"Bye!" both of them shouted before vanishing.
Next, the Asian delegates, and Miaka and Haruko.
Miaka and Ginny hugged each other. "Well, I guess this is goodbye," Ginny said sadly. "It's been nice having you as my roommate,"
"I guess this is Sayonara as well, Ginny-chan, its nice to have you as a roommate as well. Hope you and I will meet again. I look forward to see you at Heju, that's my school," Miaka replied, sadly as well.
"And I look forward to see you at Hogwarts," Ginny said.
And after that, both of them, and the rest of the delegates, vanished.
Next, the Australia and New Zealand delegates, Georgina and Zoe. Ginny hugged both of them as well.
"Bye!" both of them shouted before vanishing.
And last, Lavender's going home.
"Well, if I knew you are staying, I'd stay too," Lavender said. "Bye, see you two weeks later at Hogwarts,"
"Bye!"
And Lavender, too, vanished.
"Well, looks like its just you here, Virginia, so, what are you going to do tonight?" asked Mandy.

"And I look forward to see you at Hogwarts," Ginny said.
And after that, both of them, and the rest of the delegates, vanished.
Next, the Australia and New Zealand delegates, Georgina and Zoe. Ginny hugged both of them as well.
"Bye!" both of them shouted before vanishing.
And last, Lavender's going home.
"Well, if I knew you are staying, I'd stay too," Lavender said. "Bye, see you two weeks later at Hogwarts,"
"Bye!"
And Lavender, too, vanished.
"Well, looks like its just you here, Virginia, so, what are you going to do tonight?" asked Mandy.
