Chapter 16.

"I can't believe my best friend wasn't waiting at my bedside with bated breath for my awakening... I think I'm insulted."

Linda sat on the window seat of the dorm she shared with Ginny. She had been staring out the window silently crying about what? She wasn't even sure anymore when a very familiar voice floated across her ears. She turned to face the person and her jaw dropped.

"Ginny!" She exclaimed running over to her friend. The girls embraced each other. Tears of joy coursed down each girls' cheek.

"Oh my gosh Gin."

"What is it, Lin you're suppose to be happy?"

"I am..." Linda began to explain.

"...But you're not." Ginny finished.

"Exactly." Linda smiled, she had Ginny back someone to talk to who under stood her.

They walked over to the window seat and sat. they turned to there sides bringing one knee towards them so that they were facing the each other.

"Where should I start?" Linda asked.

"The beginning," Ginny stated. "Maybe you can fill in the blanks Ron left."

Linda smiled slightly taking a deep breath she began.

"... and then I had to tell Ron about you and Draco and He's not talking to me because I didn't tell him, oh and All the teachers know about you guys because Draco had to tell them and hell most of the school knows." Linda ended quickly hoping Ginny hadn't heard the last part.

Ginny sat silently awestruck. "Huh?"

"Well, the school doesn't really know... they think they know because they've heard rumors but with you in a coma no one there to confirm or deny, except Draco who is doing neither, he just kinda lets them talk. His father died a couple of days ago."

"What!"

"Yeah the ministry aurors raided their manor like a week ago and Lucius died in the crossfire,"

"How's his mother?" Ginny asked her voice full of concern.

"She's fine she wasn't int the house, she was at an appointment in Diagon Alley. It was in the Prophet and everything." Linda moved over to her trunk removing an a small newspaper clipping. She handed it to Ginny who silently read it through.

When she was done she slowly lowered it, all she could do was... blink.

"...Ok." she began slowly. "So how did you say Draco was?"

"Horrible he's not eating properly you can tell he's not sleeping at all and he's not talking.. To anyone, not to teachers, not slytherin, not to Blaise, not to me... no one."

"Shit" Ginny whispered, she took a deep breath. " I have my work cut out for me."

"I'll help you get in contact with Draco."

"Why?"

"So that you can help him..."

"Lin I'm talking about you and Ron I can get to Draco later... I know that sounds mean but I'm awake and he knows it so I have a feeling he won't be starving himself much longer but Lin your like my sister I have to help you... plus Ron hard headed and I'd like to make a dent as soon as possible."

Linda Laughed truly laughed for the first time in weeks. She had Ginny back.

Ginny crossed the common room accepting the hugs and pats on the back she received but never losing sight of her target. The gryffindors smiles had returned to their faces now that she was back. She reached her prey and struck.

"Hey Ron," She started cheerfully seating her self next to her brother on the stone window sill. He was sitting with one leg in the common room and the other out the window in the evening breeze. Ginny followed suit. Watching her brother, who only watched the sunset.

"So I guess you know I know." he said finally.

"I know more."

"... how could you, Gin?" He practically whispered.

"How could I Ron? How could you?"

"Me?"

"Yes you, fine I'm going out with Draco I didn't tell you but don't take out your anger on Linda ok? If you should be upset with anyone it should be me Ron I can handle this. Linda can't... She loves you."

"Huh yeah right love, you really keep things from people you love."

"Yes."

"Huh?"

"Yes you do, I love you Ron and kept this from you too. Hell she didn't even want me to tell her because she didn't want to have to lie to you... she loves you."

"Then why keep it from me?"

"Ron! She was doing me a favor me her best friend and you know as well as I do if this was you and Harry he would have kept that secret for you and you for him."

Ron huffed.

"Listen Ron you're being pig headed."

"Am not"

"Are too... look can I ask a question?"

"Can I stop you?"

"No... where you her first? And don't lie to because she already told me."

Ron looked into his sister's penetrating brown eyes and nodded.

"That's all thee proof you need."

"What?"

"Ron Linda has told me on many occasions that she would only lose it with someone she absolutely and positively loved and who loved her back."

Ron gave her a questioning look.

"Believe me she'd know she knows everything, hell she knows what I'm thinking before I do. She'd know."

Ron returned hi gaze to the blood red sunset. Ginny took both his hands in hers.

"Ron listen to me," she said kindly. "You are both in love with each other ok? Don't let my life and my decisions get in the way of that... it's special."

Ron hugged his sister. "Fine," he whispered, he pulled away slightly. "But can I say something?"

"What?"

"Malfoy?"

"Ron don't that is my life and my business."

"Fine but can you tell me something?"

"What?"

"Do you love him?"

She sighed.

"If you can tell me that I'll leave you alone."

"Ron it would be wrong of me to tell you that when I haven't told him yet."

Ron nodded slightly Ginny noted the slight smile on his face. This wasn't as hard ad she thought.

Ginny was awake, she was alive, he was happy... right?

Draco walked down the halls towards the 7th year Transfiguration classroom. He had been told to meet someone there at nine. He opened the door and entered the class it was empty. Well he was there where were they? Draco took a seat on a nearby desk.

Then someone spoke behind him.

"Malfoy."

"Weasley" Draco was on alert.

"I'm getting straight to the point, we don't like each other but for some reason or another my sister likes you so I warn you if you hurt one hair on her head I'll hunt you down and..."

"Ron1" Ginny stepped out from behind him. "Stop now you've delivered your threat."

Ron glowered at Draco. Draco eyes flickered from Ron to Ginny who looked away from her brother towards Draco. A slight smile on her face.

"Hi."

"Hey."

She looked back at Ron. "You can go now" Ron gave Draco one last warning look and left.

Ginny was now looking at the floor. Draco made to get up.

Her head suddenly snapped up. "Stay there."

He froze.

"I'm not sure I'm talking to you yet." she explained. She began walking towards him hips swaying.

"Did you visit me?"

"Yes." she undid her first button.

"Why weren't you there when I woke up?"

"Your brother forbade me and I didn't want to hurt him in his emotional state." she smiled continuing on her way to him "aren't we the considerate one?" She rested her forearms on his shoulders. His hands sliding around her hips.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. Your back."

"And what about your father's death?"

"You know about that?"

"I was throughly briefed by Linda."

"Really? I was hoping I would get to brief you" He smirked.

Ginny smiled. "You will" he leaned forward. "Later" she finished leaning back. When he sat back up she straddled his lap.

"Are you sure your ok?"

"I'm fine my mother's ok, I'm free, I have you now." he stopped talking.

"Why did you say that?"

"What?"

"Why did you say that like that?"

"Say what?"

"Now are you expecting to lose me?"

"No but."

"Draco stop.. I think I need to tell you something now."

Draco was confused. He really hadn't expected it to come out like that. He sat back and let her talk.

"Draco remember when I was at your house and you said you thought you loved me?"

He nodded.

"Well, I don't know about you but I've been thinking about that and.. I love you I don't need to think I don't need more time... I love you right here right now and I will forever."

Draco stared into her umber eyes. There was probably no better response he could have given her than the one he did. He leaned forward kissing her deeply and passionately. She leaned against him fully accepting his kiss. He slid his tongue into her warm mouth it slid along the insides he had long ago memorized. A small moan escaped her lips as she lay him back on the desk. She still straddled his hips. He pulled away slightly.

"If it wasn't painfully obvious I love you too." he said breathlessly.

Ginny giggled and hit him playfully. She was back they were back and all was right with the world.

The next few days were a blur. Ginny received more than one massage from Draco and she even gave a few. They spent most of it in Draco's room only making appearances at meals together. Oddly enough the school had accepted it quite well. Maybe the rumors had eased them into the thought so seeing it didn't surprise them or maybe it was the threat Ron and Harry had spread. The world may never know.

But as for Draco and Ginny. Now I know that this a cliche and a lame one at that but who cares it fits. They lived happily ever after.

() I know out of all the ending I could have picked that was probably the lamest one but the story had to end somehow and well... it's over.

Thank you to my loyal reviewers I hope you all love me enough to stay with me through another story. If you would please direct your attention to story number two betrothed and oblivious I will begin updating that one... Thank you and GOODNIGHT!
