CrMeiNa- haha summer school is done, know I have a job sighs, so much this summer. Haha. Thanks for the awesome review!
It was the weekend, and it was tomorrow that there was a Halloween Ball. Things were too hectic to be understood. Ginny had avoided everyone, including her children. She needed to think things through she wanted to hide away. Life always threw curve balls at her yet, why couldn't she ever have a break.
Why did she decide to teach this year? Why not take that nice quiet little job at the small village? It had to be because her children wanted to see Hogwart's. So now here she was doomed to be hounded by her past.
She was on her way down to the Great Hall when an owl flew over to her window of her room. It only had a red and white rose entwined together in its claw. She starred at it for a long time, she remembered quite clearly and knew who had sent it to her.
Flashback
Draco floated next to her window; it was midnight and the moon shone high. It was a full moon and it glittered in the night. Lady Night must've been in a good mood.
Ginny was giggling mad, it was insane and she was sure her and Draco would've been caught. He had his hand behind his back and he looked around nervously.
"Okay I'm proving my love to you. Now could you hurry so that I won't die of a horrific death by the male Weasley's in this family?" Draco hissed.
Ginny glared, "Your suppose to be all romantic, not hissing like a snake you prat."
"I'm hissing?!? Well excuse me for trying to please your high and tight little arse. Next time I'll just throw a bunch of flowers at you and hope you find that romantic," Draco snapped.
"SHHHH, are you trying to get caught? Fine then go for all I care," Ginny said getting ready to close the window.
"Alright, wait, wait. Ginny you are the most beautiful woman I've ever known, your eyes shine like the stars in the sky and umm. Blaise, hey I forgot my line," Draco hissed into the night.
Blaise called back into the air, "You twit, I'm freezing. Just give it to her and let's go. Umm it went your skin is like the petals of a rose and umm your lips glow to me like the sun itself, I think..."
"You both are twits," Ginny said with her hands on her hips.
Draco grinned sheepishly at her, "Okay it took me a long time to grow from scratch because you wanted romance. So umm here it is."
He held out to her a red and white rose entwined together. Ginny's eyes filled with tears.
"Draco this is the most romantic thing ever, subtract the bad romancing speech," Ginny gushed.
Draco rolled his eyes, but smirked. It had been very dangerous for him and Blaise to be flying in front of Ginny's window in hopes to prove that he could be the least bit romantic.
He and Blaise flew away into the night back to Zabini Manor, while Ginny went to bed holding the roses.
End Flashback
Ginny went to her books and pulled out an old dusty book. Inside she took out a bookmark and in it were the roses. She had preserved them by pressing them when they began to wither and making them into a bookmark. She stared at it, and smiled softly. Draco Malfoy was a romantic though he would never admit that bit.
Aidan had been sneaking around lately. Even his sister suspected something of him, yet he wanted to sneak around. It gave him a thrill and well his mother would smack him over the head for sneaking around. Especially for a girl...
If anyone knew he was being so secretive, his mother. Oh Merlin his mother. It made shivers run up and down his spine. He did not want to see her reaction.
"Hi, sorry I'm late," Aidan huffed out of breath. Here he was and it was killing. He hoped Holy Merlin and all that was good his secret would never be founded out.
She smiled, this averaged height girl had simply fallen for Aidan Malfoy the moment. Heck, most of the female population at Hogwart's had fallen for him. She felt so lucky.
Her mystic deep blue eyes glimmered in the light, contrasting nicely to her pale skin. Yet her hair full of wavy curly black hair, and full pink lips she. Which was perfect to Aidan's mind.
She hardly dated, finding that men and boys were rather a hassle. She was one of the Hogwart's beauties, but with her beauty came a deadly wit. She was cunning and her tongue was sliver sharp. Electra Lynx Lee was Slytherin's princess, well she may now have to share the title with Evelyn Ginevra Malfoy, but she didn't mind.
She put her arms around his neck and smiled softly at him, "Hi, did you watch out for the blasted cat Mrs. Norris Junior? Who names anything Junior?"
"I believe my mother was going to name me Junior, but feared I was going to get picked on for the rest of my life. Thus resorting to Aidan, though I must say it's a fine name," Aidan replied arrogantly.
Electra stuck her tongue at him and ended up being tickled. She then glared at him, "So when are you going to tell them?"
Aidan grinned innocently, "Come on sweetie, just a few more months..."
"You know what you can do with your months? Shove right up your..." Electra growled.
"Now now, don't make me wash your mouth clean. All right, but I just didn't want my mother asking for grand-babies and giving the cooing eye," Aidan said throwing his hands up.
Electra smirked at him, "Knew you would come around some time."
He stuck his tongue out at her, and she strutted away. Her hips swaying and all Aidan could do was stare. He whistled a long whistle, and Electra threw her head over her shoulder smiling seductively.
He sighed knowing now that he had to tell his mother and sister if ever he wanted to get back on Electra's good side. He slowly made his way to his dormitory and fell back down on his bed. He grinned softly and fell asleep the way he laid down.
Ginny sat at the head table when eating her porridge when the owls started to fly in. It was a odd sight because a beautiful singing bird circled around the enchanted ceiling. It then soon landed in front of Ginny's bowl. By this time she had the attention of the whole school and all were watching and some whispering.
It began to chirp the song from Beethoven, Piano Sonata. Tears began to spring into her eyes and even Snape grimaced softly. It was the song where first her and Draco danced to.
The prat thought he could win her back now...
She smiled softly, he was still her stupid prat even though at the moment she still hated his guts.
The little singing bird bowed slowly and Ginny let out a little laugh. Then flew in a beautiful golden bird, it bent forward with a gold parchment. The songbird flew away and as well the golden bird. Curious, Ginny unrolled it and fell a beautiful blood red rose. She took the parchment she read it:
To my fiery Fox,
I will always love you,
I think of you all the time,
You bring the sunshine in my life,
Forgive me.
That was all it said and she found him leaning against the door way smirking. She arched an eyebrow at him, and went back to eating as if nothing had happened. Draco stared at her in disbelief, then turned to walk outside to pent his anger.
Snape stared at Ginevra, then excused himself.
He found Draco punching a tree and cursing in a long string of French.
"If you think that's how you will win her, then you would be sorely mistaken," Snape snarled.
Draco snapped back, "And where in the hell to you get the idea that you can tell me how it works. As far as I'm concern you are a cryptic old bat."
"At least I am on Ginevra's good side," Severus smirked.
Draco stared at him then turned back to punch the tree one more time.
Snape looked at him, "I will tell you this though, to win her heart you need to put more effort into it. She likes to play hard to get."
Draco fury let up to another level, "And I would want to take your advice because?"
"Because I'm your children's godfather," Snape said.
Draco's eyes nearly popped out, "NO WAY!"
Snape laughed and walked away, this was going to be an most interesting year.
"Mère, you love me right?" Aidan pouted.
"Aidan, you're not drunk are you?" his mother asked calmly.
Aidan gave her puppy dog eyes, "I wouldn't be drunk on a Monday. I'm shocked that you would think that of me."
Ginny made a non-committal sound.
"I would like you to meet someone and I don't want to be harassed about it is all," Aidan spoke.
"You mean Electra? Yes, well the next time you wish to keep your relationship a secret then I would suggest not kissing in front of my portrait," Ginny replied.
His mouth went slack, "How do you always do that? Always know these things? Should I know a secret?"
"You're just to predictable sweetie, now scat. I have a class," Ginny said as her afternoon class began to file in.
Some of the girls giggled at the sight of Aidan. He bowed and letting them blush to a red shade.
"Aidan, don't flirt. Get out of my classroom," Ginny said while she kept writing on her board and her back to the class.
Aidan shrugged, it was too creepy how his mère always knew so much.
He was happy that his father was finally getting around to date his mum. Plus him and Eve were going out over the weekend to spend time with him. Life was getting to interesting for it to be disappointing.
Eve giggled as Blake was trying to do his arithmetic homework, he always did curse when he was doing arithmetic.
"You know mon ange, you can ask for help," she giggled.
He turned to look at her and then just ignored her.
She huffed and went back to do her own homework.
"Miss Malfoy, may I have a word?" Harry came up to their table.
Eve's face became impassive, "Of course whatever you have to say you can say in front of Blake."
Blake glanced up and smirked, "Professor, how kind of you to grace us with your wonderful presence."
Harry shrugged and glared, "I want to ask how to win your mother's hand."
So so so so so sorry I haven't updated in ages... Grade 11 sucks. Haha. I have far too much homework and juggling too many academics. Well I hope you like this! Haha. REVIEW! I DEMAND THAT YOU REVIEW!
