CHAPTER SIXEdited

"Tom doesn't have grey eyes... He has blue.." She said to herself, "That means... Shit..."

Then the light flickered on and out came Tom. Tom who came out of Malfoy's room confirming her mistake...

"Merlin..." She cursed as her face flushed scrambling up and away from the couch...

Quickly looking down she ran to her room... Tom stared at Ginny strangely and turned back to Draco who was sitting up on the couch...

"What's wrong with her?" Tom asked

"I don't know..." Draco replied, "How do you feel?"

"Well, I feel sober now.. So I think I'll be going back home... See ya tomorrow at work." Tom said

"Alright.. See ya..." Draco answered...

He sighed thinking about what had just happened..

"So Weasley as a thing for my brother? Hmm... This could get interesting..." Draco muttered to himself as he made his way to his room...

---------------------------------the next morning...

Hoping it was all a dream, Ginny dragged herself to the bathroom, then she saw Malfoy... He looked unusually, happy?

"Good morning.." She said as she grabbed her toothbrush

"So.. Weasley.. Did you have a good night's rest... Dreaming about my brother?"

Ginny choked on her toothbrush...

"I see... Hm... I'll take that as a yes..."

"WAH WAH WAH" She shouted

"Wah wah wah wah?" Draco answered back

She spit her toothpaste out..

"You mean it wasn't a dream? But..." Draco smiled "sweetly" interrupting her, "Of course it wasn't a dream... Why else would I be so excited after a 'lovely' hangover?"

"F..u...c...k..." She drawled out

"Well, I have to get to work..." He announced

She waved her hand off at him as he started to leave... And then before he left the bathroom he turned around

"By the way.. Next time when you 'pronounce' your love to my brother... Don't kiss him... It ruins the whole romantic effect thing that you TRIED to get going... Your kisses aren't that great either, you know... We don't want to scare him off do we?"

Ginny started to choke again as she flushed red

"Au revoir" He waved as he left, leaving Ginny trembling in anger...

.......................................................................Mid-Day

Ginny sighed as she looked out from the counter...

"What's wrong, dear?" Carol asked

"Nothing..."

"Come on.. Tell... Did something not go as planned yesterday?"

Ginny looked at Carol and nodded

"Oh dear.. Do tell..."

"Well, you know how I told you I had a 'date'?"

"Yes..."

"Well, it was with two brothers..."

"Yes and?"

"Well, I am in love with one of them.."

"So?"

"So, I decided to tell him in the middle of the night..."

"But you told it to the wrong brother?"

Ginny nodded her head...

"Its alright dear... Mistakes happen.."

"I know.. But not only did I tell the wrong brother I loved his brother, I kissed him, too!"

Carol laughed

"Its not funny..." Ginny responded with a pout

"I'm sorry..." Carol apologized through a series of snorts

"Gee thanks..." Ginny said in a sarcastic tone

Carol giggled... Ginny looked at the clock, 1 o'clock..

"Carol?"

"Yes, dear?"

"Um.. Well you see.. Its lunchtime and I usually take lunch to ..."

"Alright you can go... Come back as soon as possible though, I want to discuss some of these designs with you.."

Ginny nodded, "Thanks."

"Bye, dear"

Ginny waved and left the store as she apparated to the ministry's gates with a basket in her hand...

"Bonjour..." The guard greeted as he let her in

"Salut, Jean.." She said as she walked in...

Everyone greeted her as she walked to her destination...

"Gin! I was worried you weren't going to come..." Tom said

"Haha... Of course, even if I have a job that doesn't mean I can leave you here to starve... "

"Wow, you brought alot of food.."

"Yeah... Now there is one more mouth to feed, which reminds me where is Malfoy?"

"He's in his lab... You go down that hall and to the right, then there's a huge sign that says POTION and you walk in there and his lab number is 753"

"Alright.. I'll go get him.."

"Okay, I'll set this all up."

Ginny smiled and walked out of Tom's office... Just as Tom had said, she found the sign and then she found a huge door that was engraved with the numbers 753. She knocked on the door... Soon Ginny heard foot steps coming closer to the door...

The door opened...

"What do you want?" A man scrowled in french

"Uh, I was wondering if I could, um..." Ginny stuttered

"Well?" The man asked impatiently

"If I could take Malfoy out for his lunch break..."

"Lunch break?" The man stared at Ginny long and hard... Then turning around he yelled, "MALFOY A PRETTY LITTLE LADY HERE WANTS TO TAKE YOU OUT FOR YOUR LUNCH BREAK!"

Ginny blushed... Soon she heard more footsteps... Then she caught the sight of Malfoy...

"Lunch break?" Malfoy questioned as he left the lab along with Ginny...

"Yeah, I always bring lunch to Tom so I thought I might as well bring you lunch, too..."

"Well, isn't that thoughtful of you..." Malfoy commented sarcastically

Ginny glared...

"Where are we going?"

"To Tom's office..."

"Did you invite someone else?" Malfoy asked

"No.. Why?"

Malfoy pointed at Lovegood... Ginny cursed... Malfoy looked at Ginny with an amused face...

"Not one word..." She threatened

"Aww.. Is poor Weasley jealous?" Malfoy whispered into her ears as she turned red...

"Hey Drake, Gin, its okay that I invited Luna, right?" Tom asked

"Well, I don't know if I have enough..."

"Don't worry Ginny, dear, I have my own lunch." Luna announced ever so sweetly

Ginny plastered a smile on her face, "Oh good, because I was feeling bad about not making enough food..."

"Come on in and sit down.." Tom said

Ginny sat in the chair infront of Tom... Luna had already planted herself next to Tom and Draco just took the only seat that was left...Soon conversations started to hit off in all different directions... Most of the time Tom and Draco had to interrupt Ginny and Luna to stop them from killing each other off...

"You know.. If I hadn't known you two were good friends, I would think you guys were enemies.." Tom commented laughing

Ginny and Luna's eyes went round, but before Ginny could react, Luna had already started responding...

"Yes.. We are really good friends, but what fun is friendship if we don't compete against each other? Right Ginny, dear?"

"Of course, Luna..."

"Well, if you all will excuse me, I have to go..." Draco announced

"Oh... Alright.. See you after work.." Tom said

"If I get my work finished... Bye..." He replied and left

"sigh Yeah.. I have to go, too..."

"Alright.. Bye Ginny, dear.." Luna said

"Bye Tom... Bye Luna..." Ginny greeted and exited

"Well, Luna... Sorry to say... I think we must get back to work too..."

She nodded her head...

"So see ya around..."

"Okay..." And she left

-----------------------------------------

Ginny popped out of the fireplace and immediately plopped herself onto the couch.. After she had gotten back, tourists had come through and it was hectic... Then after that Carol talked about making some of her designs for the summer so therefore sent her out on a fabric search... But Gin soon figured out how hard it was to find GOOD summer fabric in October but somehow managed to find something she liked for the skirts and robes... Then for the rest of the day Gin was supposed to create her own signature for her line of clothes which had always been the hardest thing for Gin to do... And because she still didn't find one, Carol assigned as homework.. HOMEWORK!!

"ARGH!! I'M 24 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HOMEWORK!!!" Ginny cried out then erupting her thoughts came a very familiar hyper owl: Pig, who crashed straight into the couch. She lifted him up and pulled the letter from his leg.

--Ginny
How are you doing, love? I hope France is agreeing with you. Anyways, I was wondering if you and Tom were coming home for Christmas? Its going to be a huge type of reunion this year. Bill and his wife, Charlie and his girlfriend, Percy and his wife, Fred and George with their wives and of course Ron and Hermoine along with Harry and his wife are all coming with their darling kids and I needed to know how big to expand the house. And because Bill, Charlie and Percy are all coming I was hoping you and Tom would come also. Please write back as soon as possible. Stay safe.
With love,
Mom



Ginny sighed. Of course she would come for Christmas, she always did. A reunion, eh? How many kids then?

"Bill has 3, of course Charlie doesn't, Percy adopted one, Fred has 2 and George has 2 more than Fred, Ron has 2 with Hermoine, Harry has one and his wife is pregnant... Hm.. So that adds up to... 13? Dear Merlin help us all... Bill's kids, Percy's and one of George's are in Hogwarts... So they can't be as bad as the rest... That leaves 8 kids under the age of 10. How do my brothers and their wives handle all the kids?!"She thought sarcastically

Though she loved kids these were not just normal kids, they were Weasley kids... And Weasley kids aren't normal.. They are anything but normal and if they acutally are normal that just makes them even more weird. Okay, so her process of thinking wasn't making any sense at all...

"Hmm.. Tom always comes... I wonder if Malfoy will? I know he's definately not going to his house for Christmas... And it would be rather only for him to stay here alone during Christmas..." She pondered to herself, "I think I'll invite him... Plus he's not the exact same Malfoy in Hogwarts... So there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?"

She got up from the couch and went into the bathroom for a nice warm shower before she started to work on her signature again.

--------------------------------------

Draco came in about 1 at night and was dead tired. The potion they were to make was extremely complicated and difficult and needed constant attention. At least he had a day off tomorrow. He got ready for bed and was about to walk into his room until he saw a light in Ginny's room. Wondering if she had forgotten to blow out her candle he slowly opened the door. There she was with her hair tied up messily with her head on her arm and the other arm holding a pencil. Suddenly she lifted her head up and saw Draco.

"Hey..." She croaked

"Er.. Hey..."

"You came home really late.. Did you eat?"

He nodded his head

"Good."

He looked around her room. The room was pale yellow, her bed was small and against the wall with a huge stuffed animal looking dragon thing and her desk right on the wall of the door. There were no windows and her enchanted candles were floating above their head giving them light.

"Well, I'm going to sleep then.." He stated

"Hey, Malfoy?" She called out

"What?"

"You won't tell Tom about what happened right?"

"If I did, I would have told him earlier..."

"Thanks..."

He was about to leave again when she called him again.

"What?" He asked impatiently. He needed sleep and this woman wasn't helping him.

"Every Christmas, Tom and I go to my house to celebrate Christmas, and I was wondering if you wanted to join us."

"Going to a Weasley Christmas?"

"Well, I didn't think you would want to go back to your house, and Christmas is a time for family... SO I told my mum that you were coming."

"WHAT?!"

"Well, I didn't want you to be alone..."

"Then what's the point of asking me if you already replied I was going..."

Ginny shrugged, "To see your reactions... Anyways, they know you are coming, however they don't know its you..."

"What?"

"I said Tom's cousin was coming... I didn't think you or Tom would be happy if I actually said brother..."

"Gee thanks.." He said sarcastically

"You're welcome," Ginny replied ignoring the sarcasm then added, "It'll be fun.. ALL of your FAVORITE people will be there..."

"I'm going to a house filled with all Gryffies.. I'm going to die."

"You have your brother."

"He's practically a Gryffie..."

"There's Harry's wife..."

"What is she a saint?"

"Acutally, she's from Korea... And in the Asian wizard school she went to she was in the house like Slytherins and so is.. No wait.. That's it... All the rest would be counted as Gryffindors... Except one of my brother's kids.."

"Can you tell I'm VERY excited about this?" He asked 'happily' pointing to his annoyed face

"Yes..."

"I don't need to get them gifts do I?"

"Nope... Oh... Do you like kids?"

"Dear Merlin.. Just kill me..."

"Do you?"

"I'm going to sleep woman..." He said and left, leaving a very grumpy, mumbling Ginny.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days went by and the race was on. Ginny and Luna were doing everything they could to get Tom to fall for them. Unfortunately for Gin, she was not in the same work environment as Luna did. Therefore, Luna had time to get Tom. The pressure grew for Gin. She had finally created the signature for her designs. And she had finally figured out how she was going to tell Tom she loved him. She smiled happily at her ceiling but sleep would not come. She tried just closing her eyes, staring at something, reading a book and even counting backwards from 1,000.

"ARGH!" She yelled frustrated. She was tired and yet she couldn't get any sleep. She got up from her bed and walked toward the kitchen surprised to see Draco writing furiously over all the books that surrounded him.

"Malfoy?" She called out

"Huh? Oh.. Its you.."

"Well, duh, who else would it be?"

He shrugged.

"What are you doing up so late?" She asked

"I'm working on the antidote for a potion. What are you doing up?"

"I can't sleep..."

"Oh."

"Yeah..." She said settling herself down next to him reading his work.

"Do you mind?" Draco asked annoyed

"Yes... Wouldn't it be better if you added beetles' legs instead of eyes?"

"No.. Because the legs would cause a reaction with the snakes poison."

"Then don't use snake's poison."

He glared at her.

"Really... You are finding an antidote for a potion that eats up peoples' organs, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, then don't use poison to fight it. Its true that poison against poison is effective but the potion doesn't even consist of poison. Its more like an acid. So with an acid there needs a..."

"Base..." He started scribbling out something and writing more. Noticing she was still there he sighed.

"Come on." He said getting up

"What?"

"Get up."

"Why?"

"Insomnia, right?"

"Yeah..."

"Get up."

She got up and he grabbed his broom and opened the door to the balcony.

"Get on..."

She stared at him closely and then got on with him and he flew up. She felt the cool breeze of fall hit her face and soon had to grab unto him for safety...

"Where are we going?"

"Nowhere.. You said you couldn't sleep, right?"

He felt her nod.

"Well, this is what I do if I can't fall asleep. I fly around..."

He felt her nod again...

"Its so beautiful..." She whispered

"I know I am..."

"Not you!" Ginny replied slapping him on the back

"OW! Woman, what the hell is your problem?!" He said turning around

"I'm trying to get you to be a bit more humble..."

"Lets see you try..."

Ginny mumbled something...

Silence soon just took over them.. He soon felt Ginny's arm loosen around him.. He turned his head to see a sleeping Ginny. He sighed and landed on the balcony...

"Yo.. Weasley.." He said

Nothing..

"Weasley!!" He yelled

Still nothing... He glared at her...

"Is this acutally a woman? "He thought to himself.. All the women he had ever dated were never deep sleepers.. He didn't even think it existed and here is this... Girl.. Who could probably sleep through a war. He picked her up and walked over to the couch. He stared at the her. She didn't look like a Weasley. Her straight hair started going back to its natural wavy state. Her skin seemed to glow... She looked so beautiful with her cute freckled nose and her long dark eyelashes...

"HOLD UP!" His mind yelled, "Did I just call Ginny beaut--.. I JUST CALLED WEASLEY BY HER FIRST NAME AND BEAUTIFUL!!"

He dropped Ginny who bounced off the couch and landed on the floor.

"OW!!" She yelled. "GAH! Malfoy I know you don't like me. But just drop me on the floor would ya?"

"You're just heavy."

Ginny glared at him as she stormed into her room.

He stood there, just thinking about what he had just done, what he had just thought about a Weasley.

"I'm tired... That has to be it..." He mumbled shaking his head, walking into his room to get some rest.
