Chapter Seven...

Once again, Draco was awaken by Ginny's short scream.

"Does this woman want me to die?!" He mumbled to himself getting up from his bed.

"Wait, why am I getting up?" He thought, " Because Ginny might be in danger."

Then he stood there to think about it.

"So why am I getting up again?" He asked himself, turning back around and into his comfortable bed mumbling.

---Ginny

"Shit!" She hissed as she tried to wipe off the water on Draco's report.

Quickly she tried to dry it, but the water had already starting reacting with the ink.

"EEE!" She squealed panicking hoping Malfoy wouldn't come out.

"Okay.. Deep breaths..." Gin told herself as she pulled a piece of parchment out of her portfolio. And she quickly started rewriting Draco's report, adding a few things just to make it sound better.

"Its a good thing I read Draco's report..." She mumbled ...

45 minutes later----Draco

"UGH!! Damn her!!" Draco cursed getting up from his bed.

All he wanted was some sleep, but NOOO He can't because the little yet tall Weasley is in his head, taunting him...

"I need to find a place of my own. I can't just stay here..." He said sighing

"Argh.. I'm getting soft... Malfoys do not sigh... I may hate my father but that does not mean I cannot be proud of the Malfoy name... Sigh AARGH! I did it again! I'm totally losing it... I'm sighing, I'm talking to myself, I'm worried about Weasley, I helped Ginny last night, I called Weasley be her first name just now, I'm still talking to myself... Dear Merlin..." He mumbled running his hand thru his hair, "France is definately not good for my health."

---Ginny

"There." She said putting a charm on the paper so it would resemble Draco's. Then she took Malfoy's ruined report and stuck it in her portfolio.

"Weasley. What the hell are you doing with my report?" Draco asked glaring at her

"Uh... What report?" She replied with a forced confused look

"Do not play dumb, Weasley, I saw you taking my paper..." He stated annoyed

"Uh... Well..."

"I don't have all day, Weasley.. I do have to turn this in..."

Ginny stared at Draco with what looked like fear in her eyes.

"Okay.. Um.. Well.. You see. I got up this morning.. And .. Um.. I'm kind of clumsy? So um.. Well, my water got a hold of your paper.. And um.. Well.. Your paper got ruined..." She mumbled

"WHAT?!" Draco yelled

"But.. I rewrote it.. And yeah.. Uh.. Um... I'm sorry.. I'm just really clumsy... But I really am sorry..." She apologized.

Draco took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

"So you are telling me, you rewrote my report in less than an hour, the report that can get me a higher salary, that took me at least 3 hours to write...?"

Gin nodded her head. Draco cursed.

"But you shouldn't worry about it... Um.. Remember I read your essay thing yesterday and I read what you were supposed to write about... So I did... So it should be okay... And you'll probably get your salary raised.. And ... I'm really sorry.. I know you worked really hard on that...." Ginny rambled on

"Weasley?"Draco called

Ginny stopped and looked up

"Shut. Up. I am trying to sort this out in my head. And you going on and on about... Nothing is not helping me."

Gin bit her lip as she saw Draco scanning the report she wrote.

"Fuck..." He drawled out

"What? Did I do something wrong? I mean.. Well, there shouldn't be.. I mean. Well there could be something wrong.. But I didn't think so... I wrote a similiar essay like that at the Potions Master Academy... I'm not sure if all the information is right... Did I make a mistake?" She started mumbling again

"Wait.. You went to the PMA?" Draco asked interrupting Ginny's thoughts

Ginny looked up and nodded her head

"What the hell are you doing as a designer?! You would have to get like 150% over the perfect score on your NEWTs and then pass all the examinations that the school gives you.. You probably studied your arse off for that fucking school to even graduate!! And you are here as a fucking designer??!!" Draco yelled

"Well, you do things when you are trying to make the person you are in love with happy." Ginny snapped back

"So you changed your whole entire life just so you can get my brother to notice you?! Have YOU noticed he hasn't even looked at you! I fucking wouldn't be surprised if he started dating the Looney girl...."

"WELL I'm SORRY that I'm SO stupid..." Ginny replied sarcastically with tears in her eyes, "I hope that report does NO good to you what so ever! And that they'll fire you because YOU ... YOU!!"

"I what? Huh? What? Gave up half of my life so I can go unnoticed by the person I supposedly love? Huh?"

Tears were now pouring out "You fucking bastard.. I don't know why I'm wasting my time on you..." and with that she left.

Draco stood there then slumped down on the chair, "Shit..."

------Ginny

"Dear, are you alright?" Carol asked

Ginny nodded

"Are you sure? You seem very ... Not so happy..."

"No, everything is alright." Ginny replied with no enthusiasm in her voice

"Well, if you need to talk, I'm here..."

Ginny nodded absent-mindly. Carol sighed, she was not used to Ginny acting so well, grim.

"Well, if you are alright, lets talk business. When do you think you can get some of your designs out?"

"In about three weeks at most." Ginny answered

"Good... Because its almost Christmas time and I'm sure that they'll be great presents..."

Ginny nodded

"Okay, then.. One more thing, tomorrow, the shops not opening .. So you don't need to come."

"Oh..?"

"Well, first of all tomorrow is shipment day... Which means those streets out there are going to be filled with boxes, no one ever comes out on shipment day either... And number two, you don't look so well, so I might as well give you a break and to give you a head start on your clothing..."

Ginny grinned, "Thanks, Carol, you're the best."

"I know I am" Carol replied with a cheeky smile making Gin laugh.

---------------------------------Draco

"MALFOY!" Michel barked

Draco immediately got his head out of his potions as he walked toward the head of his lab.

"Yes, sir?"

"In my office."

Draco followed Michel.

"Well, I have to say... Your report was one of th best I've read in years... Probably one of the very few that said to use a basic type of solution instead of snake's poison." Michel started," So I am happy to welcome you to France's Ministry of Potions..."

"Thank you, sir" Draco said

"Now, lets see.. Hm, I'll just start off about what you should expect with this new positio... You will acutally have a three digit salary, may turn to four depending on your work, and as usual weekends off as well as all minor and major holidays, oh and you get your own small little lab table, but most of your work will be done in your lab room. Today, I would like you to finish up whatever you were working on and then tomorrow, yes. Tomorrow take a day off, your report definately tells me that you know what you are doing, then on Monday, back here, room 831, there will be three other men that will probably be with you until you have this job. By the way you might want to stop by the room before you leave today and ask them what they are doing so you know what to expect..." Michel explained

"Okay..."

"Now.. Go..." Michel commanded, waving Draco off.

Draco left Michel's office and went back to his lab table.

"Merlin.. Weasley must have really spiced up my report because there is no way that he could be saying that if she hadn't..." Malfoy thought, "Ugh, why isn't she working here? She's the one that should be getting this position. But no, she's working in a small little boutique being some hopeless little girl wanting my brother's love... Gah, I'm talking to myself again..."

"Malfoy.. Congradulations!" His formal lab partner said

Malfoy looked up in aknowlegdment. Then finished up the simple polyjuice potion,putting it in a vile. Afterwards, he cleaned up his area, put up the vile, magically cleaned the cauldrons, put his 'belongings' in a bag and apparated to the nearest floo station after he picked up the 'project' his group had been working on after introducing himself. He stepped into the living room. He stood there for a minute, then shaking his head, he dusted himself. Draco then dropped his stuff in his room and went into the bathroom for a nice long hot bath.

----------------------Tom

"Tom" Ginny greeted outside the Ministry gates

"Gin! Its been a LONG time..." Tom said giving her a hug and then started to walk with her toward the floo station.

"I know... How are you lunches?"

"Not the same without your food..."

"So its better?"

"Of course not. I rather have your food over mine any day..."

Ginny laughed, "Anyways, yeah... I was wondering if you wanted to come over tomorrow night and have dinner.. I need to tell you something..."

"Oh.. Um, I'll see what I can do. Tomorrow, might be a little tight."

"Oh..." Ginny responded a bit disappointed

"Yeah.. Sorry..." He apologized scratching his head.

"No, its okay... I'll just come by tomorrow during lunch, and if you can stop by.. I have a day off tomorrow. Its shipment day down on Lily St."

"Ah.. Shipment day.. You got to love those days.. Wait... I thought your company was down on Nap Lane?"

Ginny's mouth formed a small 'o' "Tom.. Like I said. I need to talk to you about somethings, which include the whole company business thing..."

"What about it?"

"Well, I didn't get in... I acutally am kinda partnering with a small boutique down on Lily St. She's letting me design my own clothes and display them.. I was going to tell you sooner, but lately things have been getting extremely busy.. Which is why I can't bring you lunch anymore, or just seeing as often as I did..."

"How long?"

"How long what?"

"Have you been working in the boutique?"

"Well, ever since I was rejected from the company.."

"So what.. Three weeks? You lied to me?"

"No. I .. Well, I guess kind of did but I tried to tell you.. But every time I tried something would come up..."

"So you didn't even bother to tell your best friend that you were rejected, and you spent the whole entire night, faking that you made it to the company?"

"No.. Well, I told your brother after we finished singing.. But by then you were long gone... And then..." Ginny tried to explain

"So you told my brother before me, someone you supposedly 'hate' by the way, then you fabricated some shit to me that you were happy at the company?" Tom asked his voice starting to strain

"Well, you were so happy.. And I couldn't just break it to you then... I hate it when people start to pity me, and I know you would have done that even if I told you about the boutique. Because you just assume that everything you think is the best." Ginny replied a bit frustrated

"I would have not pitied you." Felton snapped

"Hell you would have, Tom. And then that night when I tried to explain, you wouldn't even let me talk. Just off in your little perfect world again." Ginny snapped back

"My perfect world? You don't even know the start of what my world is like." Tom yelled

"You're right. I wouldn't, because I'm not as big headed as you are." Ginny cried out, as tears formed in her eyes, "What is up with all the Malfoys, today? Huh? Its like, lets get Ginny to cry so she can feel bad about herself. Gah, I thought I would feel better after I talked to my best friend but obviously that didn't happen."

Tom's eyes softened as he looked at Ginny who was furiously wiping her tears, "Gin.. I'm.."

"Save it, Tom." Ginny interrupted

"Gin.. " Tom started again but before he could say anything more she had apparated.

"Agh.. Fine be that way." He muttered angrily as he apparated also, leaving a crowd of people confused.

--------------------Ginny's Apartment...

She stood in her living room, shaking with anger.

"That bastard.." She muttered before she fell onto the ground crying

Then looking up she saw Draco staring at her, bewildered at what just happened.

"I'm not making any dinner today, you are on your own." Ginny said before going back into the fire.

"What the hell was that all about?" Malfoy pondered as he made his way into the kitchen.

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

"Gin, dear! What are you doing here?" A voice called out

"I'm sorry, Joona for just bursting in here, but... I..." Ginny apologized before crying again

"No. It's alright. Come on, lets get you some tea." Joona said comforting Ginny, "Dear Merlin, I sound like some British person."

Ginny smiled a bit at the comment.

"Harry, dear, Ginny's here. So why don't you take Hana to bed." Joona called out

"Gin's here?" He asked walking in with their daughter

"Hi..." Ginny greeted softly looking at the ground

"Have you been crying?" Harry asked

Ginny shook her head..

"You liar." He muttered looking at her tear streaked face, then he looked at his wife,"Alright. I'll go do that. Then you are going to explain why you are like this.."

Ginny nodded her head.

"Appa?" A little voice called out

"Come on, Hana. Its bed time for you..." He said swooping up his daughter from the floor.

Hana giggled then looked up to see one of her favorite aunt.

"CHI NI!!" She cried out trying to get away from her dad to hug Gin

"Hi, Hana..." Ginny greeted walking over to Harry as he let Hana down...

"ChiNi!!"

"Looks like its time for you to sleep..." Ginny said in a sing song voice

"ChiNi sad?" Hana asked noticing Ginny's dull eyes

"Nope." She answered

Hana looked at Ginny suspciously, "Goood night, ChiNi..."

"Good night, Hana." Ginny said kissing Hana on the forehead

"Be happy..." Hana muttered as she looked at her dad and nodded telling him she was ready to go upstairs and take her beauty sleep.

"She's the most sweetest little girl ever." Ginny commented, "I hope I have a daughter like that."

"Yes, she is the perfect daughter, just like her mother."

Ginny gave Joona a weak smile

"Come on Gin, lets go into the kitchen and we can talk about this..." Joona said

Ginny nodded as she followed Joona. /authors' note: Joona is Harry's wife. She's Korean. So therefore like a Korean mother, she's teaching Hana Korean and English... 'appa' is the Korean word for dad. and 'chi ni' is Ginny but kinda in a Korean accented way... A full explanation will be written on the bottom for those who want to figure out who Joona is.. I might do a side story on how Harry and Joona met.../

---------------------Draco

Draco rolled around on his bed. Sleep was not coming to him easily.

"Ugh..." He snorted as he sat up on his bed. A few hours ago he heard Ginny coming in. And ever since that, he couldn't sleep. Sure before that he couldn't sleep either but now it was definate, he wouldn't get any sleep. He ran his hand thru his hair. Deciding he couldn't sleep, he walked to the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of water. He walked himself to the couch as he stared at the glowing coals. The water had refreshed him and soon he felt his eyes begin to droop. Happy, he walked to his room, hitting his bed he let out a content sigh as he closed his eyes... But flashed right back open when he heard Ginny scream in terror.

He scrambled out of his bed, as he stumbled toward Gin's room.

"NOOO!! Please?!! Just.. Leave me alone.." She yelled as he entered her room

Her head was on her knees and her arms hugging them. She was rocking herself back and forth as she cried.

"Weasley.... What's wrong?" Draco asked cautiously walking towards her

She looked up at him, then stared at her bed as she shook her head. He finally made his way toward her bed and sat down.

"Weasley, come on.. Tell me what's wrong..."

"Tom.." She whispered through her tears

"You want Tom?" Draco asked

She shook her head furiously as she burst in tears again. Not knowing what to do, he awkwardly pulled Ginny into his embrace. She leaned her head on his chest and put her arm on his chest as she cried into his bare chest.

"Ssshh..."He whispered.

Soon she fell asleep. He looked at her tear streaken face and tucked her in her bed. He got up from the bed but the realized Weasley's hand was holding unto his. Draco looked at her.

"Can you sleep here tonight?" She asked in a small voice

He nodded as he conjured a blanket on the floor.

"You can sleep on my bed... The floor is cold..." She said scooting over for him to lay.

"Um..."

She pulled him down on the bed, she then snuggled herself next to him, as she let out a content sigh falling into a deep sleep. And Draco soon fell asleep after he made sure she was okay.
