Ginny woke up the next morning warm and cozy. But as she sat up and opened her eyes she
found she was alone, the fire crackling merrily and the corner of the covers where Draco had
been were a little upturned in one corner where he had gotten out of bed from. On his pillow
was a small note.
"Gone for a walk.
D.M."
Ginny sighed climbing out of bed herself and heading into the shower. She let the hot,
steamy water wash over her, closing her eyes as she let it run over face. Her thoughts were
racing, and as she squeezed the shampoo into her palm she began to realize how badly she
wanted to meet Sherise. Sure she was a little off her rocker, but she had survived the Cruciatis
Curse and that alone gave her rights to being as off her rocker as she pleased. But along with
the curse and what she had endured before her rights were higher then high.
After her shower Ginny dried herself with a fluffy towel and wrapped her green
bathrobe around her, letting her wet locks tumble from the towel around her and went into her
room. She silently walked over to the window looking out at the grounds, the small creek, then
the man who was laying on his back on the side of the yard outside her window. His blonde hair
rippled with the lush grass in the wind, a thin black cloak fastened with something shining and
silver at the neck, wearing dark jeans and a dark blue shirt.
She sighed quietly watching him longingly, he had one leg bent at the knee, the other
lazily stretched out and his hands folded under his head. He was facing away from her, watching
the clouds by the looks of it, thinking to himself.
Ginny looked up to the clouds, walking away from the window to get changed. She
thought about how wonderful she had felt falling asleep in his arms as she began to get dressed,
how she had sensed he would have regretted not staying if she hadn't had asked him. Slipping
into a pair of jeans that matched her simple cartoon logo t-shirt for "Weasley's Wizards
Wheezes." featuring a cartoon version of Fred and George setting off fireworks.
It was then that Ginny heard a gentle tap at the window and door at the same time.
Looking to the window she saw a large brown Great Horned Owl with a package in talon.
"Come in" she said to the door running to let in the owl. She heard Draco come in and
close the door as she was letting the owl land on the trunk at the end of her bed and going to
get it some treats.
"Who's that from?" he asked, Ginny looked to see him leaning against the door. She
smiled lightly and shrugged.
"I haven't opened the letter yet so I wouldn't know." she said as though trying to
explain it to him like he was rather dense. He looked a little indignant for a second before
standing up and going over to her.
"You..."he started as though about to make a slick comeback but crossed his arms and
shook his head with a bemused smile. "You know what I meant." he corrected. Ginny nodded
with a smile and untied the package.
There were stacks of pamphlets and a few thin magazines in a neat pile, on top was a
semi-messy written note.
"Hello Gin.
I'm sorry about the whole thing with cousin Jaci. I still don't see
why you don't like her, she's such a sweetheart. The entire time we
we're unpacking she was saying how sorry she was about the confusion,
and how upset you must have been. (the flat was astounding) But I felt
rather guilty so I gathered up these with the help of Hermione, who did
an amazing job by the way, in order to help you with your flat searching.
I just realized I have no clue where your staying, so I'll just address
this to you and hope this owl finds you. Pig is out already sending a letter
to Harry and Cho so I had to borrow Hermione's.
Well I'll be seeing you soon
Love your FAVORITE (go on admit it) brother Ron."
Ginny flipped through the gathered resources with an open jaw, there were so many
amazing flats, condo's and even small houses like Hermione's that it would take her hours just
to leaf through them all.
Draco watched over her shoulder, his heart sinking a little. He didn't want her to leave,
he wanted her to stay forever, but he didn't know how she felt. He had considered just coming
out and asking when he went for his walk, waking up and seeing her curled up against him,
made him yearn to know. Did she pity him because of his grandmother?
That thought had crossed Draco's mind so many times he felt as though it was going to
leave a scar. It made sense didn't it? How could someone like her ever have slight interest in
someone like him? And sure they made love, but nothing had been as sincere as how she just let
him hold her last night. And hadn't she done that after she realized his Grandmother was still
alive? It must have been a shock, to find out someone she had thought was dead was really
alive.
"I'll help you look through them if you'd like." he offered quietly, loathing every word
he was saying.
Ginny looked at him, she felt herself wanting to cry but she steadied herself not letting
her tears shine through. Did he really want her gone that bad? It didn't seem like he did but he
wasn't offering her to stay so what was she supposed to think? She would have smirked bitterly
to herself if Draco hadn't been there, what had she expected?
"Yah, thanks." she said, forcing herself to smile.
Ginny left the hairstylists on the day of the party, feeling classy and elegant. she was
extremely excited yet sort of..heartbroken at the same time. She never wanted to leave the
manor, she was pretty sure she never wanted to leave Draco, or the garden, or even Tobey.
Sighing she apparated to the manor doorstep and stepped inside. She heard footsteps
and hid.
"Draco?" she asked loudly, Draco came into the room and saw her holding up his cloak
so he could only see her light yellow heeled shoes and ankles.
"What are you doing?" he blinked, smiling lightly at her sudden quirky moment.
"Go away!" she ordered.
"What the hell..why?" he laughed taking a step forwards. Ginny stepped back.
"Don't you dare move another muscle! And I don't want you to see me until tonight!"
she protested, Draco heard her stomp her foot a little.
"Why?" he asked again.
"Come on! I just..well I want it to be a surprise. Please?" she asked. "You cant see but
I'm pouting to add the effect." she tried in order to persuade him. She heard him sigh and walk
into the parlor and shut the thick door behind him.
Quickly she kicked off her shoes and ran upstairs to get ready.
It was nearly eight when she heard Draco knock at her door and tell her he'd be
waiting outside by the car. They were taking the silver convertible to blend in, so not to stand
out when they parked in the back instead of the front with all the carriages and port key
landings.
Draco yawned leaning against the passenger side of the car that was facing the door.
The sun had gone down a few minutes ago but it was still warm outside. He was dressed in an
impressive designer suit, with a light gold coloured tie. He shoved his hands in his pockets
glancing at his gold and diamond watch. The hand that said 'date' was now pointing at 'In
Room' and they were going to be late if they didn't leave soon.
"GINNY COME ON!!" he yelled up at the house, he looked down when he heard the
door snap closed and his heart stop, and his breath was taken away.
Ginny smiled lightly, her hair in gentle waves that just reached her shoulder blades but
still shone like it always did in the moonlight. Her lips wore a light gloss, her eyes looked
dramatic and alluring brushed with a shimmering gold with dark black mascara that drew
attention to her chocolatey, warm eyes.
Adorned on her neck was a small silver chain and three swarovski crystals, the largest
in the center and two smaller ones at the side. She wore matching crystal chandelier earrings
that were sparkling brightly with tiny teardrop shaped crystals.
But her dress, seemed to make Draco want her more then ever. It was a sparkling light
gold satin that fit her like a glove, with spaghetti straps that glittered gently and led down into a
low cut v neck bodice that was cut and covered in a way that was sexy yet not over the top to
the point where her modest size breasts were hanging out. It led down to a little slight flare that
started a couple inches above the knee, causing the bottom to have many delicate and elegant
folds it reminded Draco of a golden waterfall.
She lowered her head a little, gathering her skirts gently in one hand letting Draco see a
glimpse of her cream coloured legs and sexy gold heeled shoes which had a thin band just
above the toes, another before the actual ankle and a discreet one at the back.
Once she had reached Draco she spun around once, a small clutchpurse in her hand.
"Well? Don't tell me I look that bad.." she said with a small smile, she looked him up
and down approvingly. "Besides you don't want your date to not look as good as you do."
Draco let out a deep breath, trying to find his voice. "I guess I don't have to worry
then." he said swallowing hard opening the door for her. He noticed Ginny's cheeks turned a
gentle pink and it slowly faded, she smiled and got in.
"Thanks." she said, making sure her skirts were out of the way before he closed it.
Draco walked around the back of the car, his skin growing a little hot as he slid in beside her,
turning on the air conditioner on his side.
"I charmed the car so the wind wont actually touch us, you know so you don't have to
freak out at me about your hair getting ruined." he said pressing his wand to the wheel. He
turned on the radio and Ginny's eyes widened as she heard a familiar tune.
"So so so scandalous"
Ginny laughed hitting Draco with his purse and changed the station.
"Hey I didn't plan that!" he laughed as the began to drive into the city.
"Oh sure!" she laughed sarcastically leaning back into her seat.
They snuck in the backdoor perfectly, and entered a slightly dark but elegantly
decorated ballroom. There was a large bar, with several witches and wizards serving drinks to
the large amount of guests. The floor adorned a skillful patterns in dark colours, that changed
subtly as it eased into the dance floor.
Round tables and chairs with two small white candles burning dimly in the center of
each, people sitting around them talking and chatting merrily. There were many suited wizards
and witches walking around the crows skillfully carrying trays of classy drinks and cocktails.
"Look." Ginny whispered gesturing up to the large chained and sparkling ornament that
led to a dimly lit but gigantic crystal chandelier with golden chains draping down then back up to
attach to the circular ceiling.
The music was loud, people dancing all dressed in stunning colours, some shocking
colours, and strange outfits dancing on the floor while some sat and talked on the sidelines. A
slower song started to start up and Draco felt Ginny grasp onto his wrist gently.
"Come on." she said quietly, leading him slightly away from the light then onto the dance
floor. Draco smirked letting her lead him into the crowd of people dancing in twos, while the
music drifted throughout the room.
'Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game'
Ginny smiled as she snaked her arms around his neck, in return he put his hands gently
on her waist, leaving them dancing closer together the most of the other couples. Draco
watched the lights from the chandelier twinkle in her eyes like an endless amount of stars, she
smiled lightly watching him watch her and looked away over his shoulder blushing gently.
'Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah'
Ginny listened to the music drift around, this woman could sing beyond her time. Soulful
and powerful Ginny already felt a little twinge of jealousy as she heard the piano chords.
"Who sings this?" Draco asked quietly beside her ear. She shivered a little as his lips
brushed her ear but shrugged it off.
"I don't know. She's got an amazing talent though." she confessed. He nodded.
"I think it should be our song..." he said so quietly Ginny could barely hear him, but
when she did her heart rose. She was so happy to say 'our' like that, like she did matter to him.
Ginny couldn't help herself smiling genuinely. "It should be." she said simply, her heart seemed to
be skipping beats while her skin felt warmer then usual.
'Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love him
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah'
Ginny looked up at Draco who brought his head close to hers. Trying to calm the organ
in her chest that seemed to be beating too hard for her to take, she closed her eyes slowly, then
once she felt a little more relaxed she opened them again.
"You look amazing, I think your making me look low class or something." he said
quietly, Ginny smiled.
"Not possible, you look great too. Your tie even matches my gown." she smiled,
holding her small purse in one hand behind his neck she smoothed out the satin fabric of the
golden tie around his neck.
"Lucky me." he laughed quietly. He couldn't stand being this close to her any longer,
staring at her light pink lips without kissing them. She seemed to notice how his eyes moved
down from her eyes, she let the hand that wasn't around his neck slide down his arm, interlacing
her fingers with his longer fingers. Before she knew it he was kissing her tenderly, her reply to
his touch contained the same longing and hope.
Ginny felt like tonight was proving to her that there was a future somewhere for them.
That he did want her like she wanted him, she wasn't just a fling for him. To hear him say 'our
song' made her swell with pride, he had been sincere when he said it and that meant the world
to her.
'If I ain't got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing'
Caught up in their own little world, neither Draco nor Ginny noticed a spotlight drifting
around the dance floor. While Luna stood at a podium with her wand in hand using a sonorous
charm in a black gown that had an overlay that started below the chest with bright layers of
blue, royal purple, red and fuschia.
Ron, Hermione and a few other Aurors were seated at a table for the 'just in case'
precaution. Watching Luna with a smile, as the spotlight darted all around the room quickly
"And now, please welcome the newest member of our Vraleish Team..and if I'm not
mistaken her date would be the owner of Vraleish..."
'If I ain't got you with me baby....'
The spotlight hit Ginny and Draco dead on, at a point where everyone managed to see
them kissing but they pulled apart Ginny holding a hand over her eyes at the bright light.
"Ginny Weasley..and Draco Malfoy?" Luna said the last name with wide eyes and a
slack jaw, her wand dropped from her hand and hit the ground as the gasps and mutters spread
through the crowd.
"GINNY WEASLEY!!!!!!!!!"
