Ginny yawned, a soft breeze blowing over her gently. She slowly opened her eyes, her
hand was underneath her cheek but it was rising slowly. Her eyes roamed up to see Draco
sleeping quietly, his arm wrapped around her waist as she lay beside him.
She looked about and saw they must have fallen asleep in the long grass outside
the garden after breakfast. A smile tugged at her lips, she could understand why, after all
they hadn't done a lot of actual sleeping last night. She snuggled closer to him, thinking
quietly to herself.
Did he think of last night as a one night thing? Or did he actually have some sort
of feelings for her? She sighed quietly as her mind was starting to deflate that happy little
bubble she was in right now.
"Mm what time is it?" Draco yawned, Ginny looked up at him and he smiled
caressing the side of his cheek with the back of his hand. She smiled back up at him and
shrugged a little.
"No idea." she admitted sitting up slowly. She felt draco snake his arms around
her waist from behind gently, kissing her tenderly on the neck. Ginny bit her lip, trying to
not get lost in his touch since the "if' factor was still bothering her a little. What if he did
think of this as nothing?
"How's that cut?" he asked quietly, his lips near her ear. She shrugged a little
touching the space around the cut on her chest.
"Fine I guess." she guessed aloud. She felt Draco press his wand against it gently,
she winced none the less but she heard him mutter something quietly and watched at the
cut seemed to sink into her leaving normal creamy coloured skin in its place.
Ginny smiled running her fingers over the spot under her collar bone where the
cut had been. "Where did you learn that?" she asked looking at him over her shoulder.
"Was a bartender remember..lots of brawls." he smirked.
"How many of those did you start? She asked, a devious spark twinkling in her
eyes. Draco grabbed his chest as though injured.
"Ouch..what kind of person do you think I am?" he demanded. Ginny laughed.
"You really don't want the answer to that." her laugh turned to a scream as he
tightened his grip around her waist and tossed her over his legs and onto the ground
lightly. She landed with her nose brushing the grass and rolled back onto her back still
laughing tossing a hand-full of grass in his face. He spat the piece that got in his mouth
out and put his arms on either side of her leaning above her.
"What did you have planned for today?"
"I thought I'd go check in at work, I mean I'm almost done my article on you so I
thought I would write it out tonight and tomorrow. But I want to see what's going on
still." she shrugged running her finger over the collar of his shirt.
"Tonight?" he asked, sounding disappointed. Ginny raised an eyebrow wondering
if he was going to say some corny line or if he had something else in mind.
"What's wrong?" she wondered aloud.
"I thought we'd go out tonight." he shrugged. Ginny sighed screwing up her face a
little in thought.
"How about we go out for a drink at eight thirty that'll give me a chance to get my
article started at work..fewer distractions." she suggested. He nodded leaning closer over
her.
"Fewer of what kind of distractions?" he smirked.
"Hi." Ginny mouthed waving to Luna who was talking into a headset, unlike the
muggle ones this one had no signals or anything. Whoever was talking to her was just
talking into the wand and she heard it on the headset once they said the right connection.
Luna held up a finger to Ginny telling her to hold on as she finished talking into
the headset and setting it down.
"You picked a bad day to come in Gin." she winced, talking quietly. Ginny
blinked she heard something glass shattering down by the offices. Luna looked a little
nervous, yet amused at the same time. Ginny looked at her curiously.
"Why's that?" she whispered back. Luna let her hands that she had been wringing
together slide into her pockets.
"Someone mentioned the 'colour' thing to Marissa...she's been going bloody
insane all day. I think it had something to do with Gucci chewing up one of her favorite
pairs of shoes..a seven hundred galleon pair of shoes." she winced. Ginny jumped as she
heard more glass shattering and some man give a "yelp' of surprise, then Marissa yelling.
"YOU CALL THAT ICE WATER?!? THAT CRUD WAS PRACTICALLY
HOT!! THE ONLY THINGS I LIKE HOT ARE MY SHOWERS AND MY SEX!! NOW
GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!" she screamed. Ginny saw her Cyberparch hurtle by the
glass doors that separated the lobby from the offices hallway, that was today orange and
head it hit the wall.
Ginny looked at Luna a little horrified as Marissa stormed through the glass doors,
obviously fuming in a light orange pastel suit. She slammed one of the doors shut so
forcefully it cracked. Not caring she kept her angry and loud pace and headed for the
doors yelling with her back turned to Luna and Ginny.
"For anyone who cares I'm going for coffee! WHICH I'LL BE DRINKING IN A
WHITE MUG THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!" with that she stormed out of the building
and down the steps knocking a few people over in her wake.
Ginny sighed finishing the first few paragraphs of her article within the three
hours she had been in her office. She had tweaked it so much it seemed perfect to her, she
was rather proud of it. She had decided to do a six paragraph exposé on Draco first, then
end with her favorite questions and answers from the interviews that really showed what
Draco was really like.
Ginny stretched her arms up over her head, hearing the joints in her back crack a
little due to being slumped over for so long. Slowly she got to her feet and poured herself
a glass of water, which was ice cold, and looked down at her parchment. She jumped as
Luna knocked at the door and let herself in looking quite bubbly with a chocolate bar in
her hand.
"So.......who are you going to the party with?" she asked sitting down in one of the
arm chairs by the window of Ginny's office. She pulled off the wrapper and broke it in
half tossing it to Ginny who caught it in one hand giving Luna a appreciative thanks.
"Um..I cant say." Ginny said, feeling a little guilty. Luna gave her an odd look,
and took a bite of the hazelnut chocolate bar, Ginny sighed and did the same.
"Why not?" she asked swallowing before talking.
"I just..cant." Ginny said breaking off another small piece of the chocolate and
popping it in her mouth. Luna tilted her head looking at Ginny with her wide eyes, she
snapped her fingers and got to her feet, her eyes even wider.
"Your going with the owner aren't you?!" she squealed excitedly. Ginny choked a
little on her chocolate and clasped a hand firmly over Luna's mouth.
"Shut it! If anyone hears I'm so screwed!" Ginny seethed quietly. She could feel
Luna smiling under her hand and she let go.
"So it is a man.." Luna said deductively, sitting back in the chair. Ginny ran a
hand through her hair turning her back to Luna and rolled up her parchment placing it in
the black book bag she usually brought to work. "Is he cute?" Luna inquired, leaning
forwards.
"I really shouldn't be talking about it." Ginny admitted, giving a small shrug.
"Fine. Now what about your dress? Is it phenomenal! I can't wait to see it!" she
asked. Ginny smirked, if she had seen it she would have found it was almost Draco like.
She leaned against her desk.
"I'd say so..but I want it to be a surprise!" Ginny smiled. Luna had boughten a
dress when they went shopping that fit her perfectly, as well as her personality. She of
course would be accompanied by Neville. Luna nodded.
"Nev loved the mandrakes by the way...don't worry I'm not going to ask where
they're from I've given you the third degree already." she added looking at the expression
on Ginny's face. Ginny couldn't help but smile again, she couldn't wait to get back into a
normal flow for her life.
Everything was so hectic right now, she hadn't been working normally really
since she arrived here. But another part of her never wanted this interview to end, she
didn't want her time with Draco to end.
Ginny and Draco entered a lavish (and expensive) bar and sat down at one of the
high two people tables under a small blue and silver light. Draco had picked one of the
pricey bars to avoid running into anyone Ginny knew, or anyone from her work. He had
picked her up a safe distance from work and driven there within a few minutes.
Yawning Ginny fiddled with her short pinstriped skirt, jumping a little as she felt
Draco trace a circle on her knee with his finger.
"Did you eat dinner?" he asked leaning on the table a little. Ginny shook her head
leaning on her arms that were resting on the table. She rubbed her stiff neck with one of
her hands an nudged Draco to quit tickling her as the a bartender came over with a pencil
and paper.
Draco ordered himself a Long Island Iced Tea and a plate of nacho's for them to
share, while Ginny got a chocolate martini. When their drinks and food came Ginny felt
her stomach grumble a little.
"Have you..oh right your first time here. Their nacho's are amazing." he said
pulling up a cheesy chip drenched in salsa and other seasonings like green onion and red
pepper pieces holding it in front of her lips for her to taste. Ginny felt a little silly but she
took a smile bite and nodded in agreement. They were amazing. He smiled again, Ginny
liked seeing him smile.
"Told you." he said. Ginny nodded smiling back and took a small sip of her drink.
He asked about Vraleish and how work was. She told him about the little fiasco, leaving
out who it was thrown by quite cunningly and how a friend at work (again leaving out
Luna's name) had found out who she was going to the party with.
"We'll have to be sneaky then." he shrugged, telling her about how he had gone to
work and how someone had said he smelt like roses even after he had showered and
changed. She laughed a bit looking into her clear drink, the few remaining specks of
chocolate powder dwindling.
"I never really thanked you for what you did." he said, touching her arm lightly. It
seemed to send rivets of fire up her arm, but she smiled lightly looking him in the eye.
"It must have been hard. I mean if I lost someone that amazing..I don't know how
I'd cope." she sighed. Draco nodded, looking at his own drink for a minute before taking
a drink.
"It was, but it takes time to get used to it." he said honestly.
"I just cant believe she's gone you know..I didn't even really know her but
thinking of her being dead is just..heart wrenching I guess." she confessed sadly. Draco
looked up, narrowing his eyes at her.
"Ginny..my grandmother isn't dead." he said as though she was supposed to know
it. The only sound was the sound Ginny's glass made as it tumbled and smashed on the
floor.
"Why didn't you tell me before?!" Ginny yelled pacing around in her room. Draco
looked at her from the wall he was leaning against, Ginny made a mental note that he
leaned on things a lot.
"You said you KNEW everything! I didn't think I had to!" he said simply, sitting
down on the trunk at the end of her bed. Ginny pulled her hair back into a ponytail, still
pacing, and fastened it with a hair band then crossed her arms.
"So where did she go?" she asked quietly, she sat down beside him, sitting with
one leg underneath her. He looked at her gravely, then licked his lips nervously before
looking at one of the tapestries mindlessly.
"She moved to Ireland, she's still under her my great aunt Elizabeth's care. My
grandfather performed the Cruciatis Curse on her when I was younger." he started,
already Ginny had her hand to her mouth and wide eyes. "..He didn't know I saw him, the
door was open and he was stupid to think I wouldn't hear her screaming. She was in a
coma for years, when she awoke in St. Mungo's they told me she had gone insane.
She's got this thing though, she can still talk to me through my dreams when I'm
near her. That's where I went Ginny, I visit her often, but I had to go then. My great aunt
had started muttering restlessly and was acting up." he sighed. Ginny wanted to fling her
arms around him and hug him tightly but something was nagging at her.
"What was she muttering?" she asked. Draco shook his head.
"I have no idea something about "When you find what I wanted to have so
desperately..." We have no clue what it means though." he shrugged. Ginny sighed,
feeling a little cold she pointed her wand at the fresh logs in the fire. Her heart felt like it
was breaking for him, she wanted a sign from him, that he wanted her to hug him, but she
got none. He was a bit distant now, and she sensed it painfully.
"I think I'm going to go to bed." she said quietly. He nodded and stood up
walking towards the door. Ginny looked up at his reeceding back and before she knew
she was saying what she was thinking aloud, she had.
"Draco?" she called softly, he stopped turning to look at her.
"Yes?" he asked, his voice was quiet.
"Will you stay here with me tonight?" she asked, her tone was innocent. He could
tell she just didn't want to be alone. He nodded and watched as she pulled out a modest
pair white satin nightgown and head into the bathroom to change.
Quietly he took off his shoes, socks, belt and dress shirt setting them on one of the
chaise lounges and leaving the shoes underneath on the floor. Leaving him a dark blue t-
shirt and black jeans. He climbed onto the large bed and laid down on his back against
the pillows leaving the blankets underneath him, the room was warm from the fire and he
didn't think he'd need them.
When Ginny came out she didn't say anything, but turned off the lights and
climbed in laying close to him. Instinctively he wrapped his arm under her waist letting
her head rest on his the far side of his chest. He was a little surprised, yet comforted when
she gently slid her arm across his stomach as though she wanted to make sure he wasn't
going anywhere.
Without a word to each other they fell asleep quickly, the only noise was the quiet
sound of the burning fire in the hearth.
