CHAPTER FOUR: what if? --------------------------------------------------------------------Next morning

"AHHH!!!" Ginny screamed on the top of her lungs as she ran in and out of random doors... Brushing her teeth, putting all the papers into her bag, putting on clothes, doing her hair... Grabbing a piece of toast and putting on her shoes, she ran out of the house...

Malfoy woke up due to the yelling.. He got up and walked out of his room and saw Ginny run back in... running smack into him...

"Oi.. Sorry... I need to go get my wand... Malfoy, your brother said he was going to come in the morning.. He should know where all the food is... I have to go.. Is there anything you want? Just send me an owl.. Bye..." Ginny explained in one breath running back out with her wand...

Malfoy blinked and then rubbed his eyes...

"When did the littlest Weasley get so tall?" He asked himself as he traveled back into his room...

It was true... She was tall and had a body of a model... Like half of her brothers, she was tall, skinny and had the curves... Her long red hair had tints of gold, which she liked to straighten out every morning... Her hazel eyes sparkled and she always tried to wear a smile... She looked extremely graceful though she was not which was probably one of the reasons she never became a model, that and that she still had her little freckles sprinkled over her nose... She wasn't the same as she was in Hogwarts... No, she left that life behind away from all the pressures of the world and started a new life in France...

"LITTLE BROTHER!!" A voice boomed

Malfoy's head snapped up from his bed...

"Oh LITTLE BROTHER! Where are you?"

"Oh Merlin... Tom isn't starting the little brother thing all over again is he?" Draco mumbled to himself...

"LITTLE BROTHER!! Great I found you!" Tom yelled after he opened the door the Draco's new "room"

"Tom... Stop with the little brother...Thing." Draco said

"Ah... Never... Anyways, you liked it when you were young.."

"When I was YOUNG! I'm not 5 anymore..."

"sigh I know.. But its fun to annoy the hell out of you..Anyways, come on, get dressed we have alot of things planned.."

"What?"

"Well, you need a job don't you? AND I'm positive Gin will get the job, so we can all go out and eat dinner..."

"I have a job.."

"What? How? You just got here?"

"Like I said in my last letter... I planned out everything out last month... And got a job at the French Ministry as a potions master..."

"Oh yes.. I remember now, Monsieur Lablanc was talking about that... A new potions master.."

"Wait... YOU work in the Ministry too?"

"Of course... "

"But... But...."

"I'm a squib.. Blah blah... I'm one of the journalists there.. And because journalists don't really need magic, I'm fine.."

"Oh..."

"You should be excited... You have a famous journalist as a brother..."

"Shut up... When did you get all this... This... Perkiness?" Malfoy asked

"I never had perkiness... Its called... Sarcasm..." Tom replied, pronoucing each word one by one..

"Thank you for telling me... I would have never figured that out..." Draco responded with sarcasm of his own

"Okay.. Well, since you already have a job.. Let's get you some new clothes... The French dress differently then the British... And as you know... Paris is the fashion capitol of the world... " Tom said with pride, "And they do dress better..."

Draco scrowled

"Come on, get ready, we do not have much time..."

"Isn't it just morning?"

"No... It's 1... We have about 5 hours before we are planned to meet Gin..."

"Just five hours? Geez that's not alot of time..." Draco replied sarcastically

"Its not if you have to travel in broom to Paris' L'Alley de Diagon"

"What? Can I not floo?"

"Since you are not a registered floo member in France, you have to go register... And it is going to take about an hour to get there, another hour to get you registered, then we have to eat lunch, another hour spent... One hour to shop for your clothes... Leaving an hour to do whatever you want and meet up with Gin."

"You really have everything planned out don't you?" Draco said

"Yeah.."

"What's the point?" Draco asked

"Its a tradition.. We always do this for each other when we try out for new jobs..."

"But wasn't your first job, your last?"

"Professionally as of right now.. Yes... But before when we both poor and jobless, this is a way of us cheering each other on..."

"What if she didn't get the job?"

"She will..."

Draco stared at his determined brother...

"Whatever... Let me change and yeah... So I'll be right back..."

"Alright..."

[In Bathroom]

"My brother doesn't like this Weasley character, does he?" Draco asked himself as he brushed his teeth, "I mean.. She is a Weasley... sigh Then again.. Tom probably doesn't know about the Malfoy-Weasley feud that has been going...Yeah... That's it..."

"Wait? Why do I care?" Draco thought as he started to wash his face, "Am I talking to myself? Dear Merlin.. I AM... I've been here too long.. How long has it been? AH! I'm doing it again..."

He slapped himself in the face and then dried it as he walked out of the bathroom...

"Hurry up, Draco...."

Draco scrowled as he walked into his room and changed

"Hey Tom?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you like this Weasley girl?"

"Yeah.. I love her.. She's my best friend..."

"Oh.. So its not like a girlfriendy thingy..." Draco replied awkwardly

"Yeah.. Why? Do you like her?" Tom asked with a cheeky smile wiggling his eyebrows

"What the hell? NO... She's a Weasley..." Draco snapped

"Ok.. Whatever, just promise me you won't fall in love with her and I'm fine..."

"Fall in love? Never..."

"I'm warning you... She's a real charmer and she's known in the French Ministry to accidently get men to fall in love with her..."

"And the French Ministry knows her... How?"

"She always brings me lunch.. " Tom replied happily

"Oh..."

"Like I said.. We are best friends.. We know each other inside out... Now lets go.. We have already wasted an hour.."

Draco sighed heavily as Tom and Draco "popped" out of the apartment...

--------------------------------------------------------------------Ginny

It has already been an hour after the interview... She didn't get it... Holding back her tears, she trudged along the streets of Paris... She looked at her watch... She told Tom she would meet him infront of Paris' main floo station... And it was only 3...

"Two hours..." She thought

Was she really that bad at designing clothes? Tom absolutely adored them and so did all the Ministry women and men... But what did the company not see in it? Oh yes.. It wasn't the clothes.. It was simply because she was English...

"Fuck them..." She mumbled as she walked into a shop...

She looked around and saw the most cutest clothes in the world and yet everything was mismatched...

"Uh.... Madame?"

"Yes? How may I help you?"

"Your clothes are adorable..."

"Why thank you... I made them all myself..."

"No problem..."

"Is there anything you don't have in mind?"

"Huh? No not at all... Why do you ask?"

"Because you have this 'but there is a catch voice'"

"Oh.. Yes.. Um.. Not to be rude... But the clothes don't really match with each other..."

"So you don't like them?"

"No... I love them.. Really I do.. But I think you'll gain more profit if you switch some things around..."

"Oh really?"

"Yes... "

"And why do you think so?"

"Well, I'm a designer... But I cannot afford a shop of my own and..."

"I'm a designer, too. However as you can see, I am the more successful one because I AM the one with the shop of my own... And you are just some poor designer.. So I suggest you keep your comments to yourself..."

"Okay I will..." Ginny replied leaving the store...

"Who the hell does she think she is?" Ginny muttered as she walked to the next store... Then she saw a store infront of the lady's store...

"Hm... They are hiring..." She thought to herself as she walked across the street, "What if..."
