(A/N): hey guys!!!! Was sup…sorry for the long wait again but school is absolutely so boring and hectic not to mention. Well…I'm quite disappointed with you all because none of you tried to do me the favors. But well…I guess its ok. Though thank you for the lovely reviews.
This chapter is dedicated to my best friend Qutaija (khu-tai-ja). Even though she doesn't read the story or review as she is working on her own story and of course the bloody school but she is always ready to help, give ideas and is very supporting and encouraging. So this is for her.
Disclaimer: I don't own the lovely characters of J.K Rowling. Though you all know whom I wish I could own.
Reminder: all the anonymous readers if want to be notified when I update can leave their id on the review section.
Lets get on with the story:
Oooooooooooooooo000000000000000000ooooooooooooooooO
Draco stared at the sight and then turned to look at Ginny. But he again got surprised because she no longer was wearing the black straight pants and white high neck top with scarf and gloves…now she was wearing a white sleeveless top with a red sleeveless jacket and with a red ¾ pants with 2 stripes of white on the side. Draco was quite impressed because all kinds of dresses suited Ginny.
"Liked the place" asked Ginny "its…its beautiful" said Draco "but what about your dress?" he asked "oh!!! That…see if you haven't noticed this place has summer whereas outside this place has winter…so as soon as we enter this place our dresses change according to this place's weather"
"Wooww" said Draco and immediately looked down to see what he was wearing. He was wearing a soft gray sleeveless shirt with opened buttoned black half sleeves shirt. With that he was wearing black cargo pants. He had to accept the dress was cool and well it absolutely suited him.
"Lets go" said Ginny and started walking and he as well started walking with her. They saw a lot of kids playing in the park on swings and slides and with friends. How Draco hoped that he could have enjoyed all this when he was a little child. He saw many women wearing weird kinds of dresses and even the men. But yah till where he remembered he had read long back that Indians wore these kind of dresses.
But he still asked Ginny to be sure "what kinds of dresses are these people wearing" "the women are wearing saree's and salwaar kameez where as the men are wearing kurta pajama. They are Indian dresses." Replied Ginny.
(A/N: ok people salwaar kameez is like a gown except that some are tight and some are lose depends on how the women likes it. Below they wear is like a lose pajama even in that some are lose…old women wear lose salwaar (pajama) wear as the newly wed women or young women wear tight. And yah the kurta (gown) is not long it comes only below the knee. There is new fashion for short kurta's nowadays in which it comes till the knees exactly or slightly above it and under it (short kurta) they wear parallel salwar not the lose or tight (salwar).)
(With this salwaar and kurta (also know as kameez depends on the language) women wear dupatta (there are many words for this too according to the language). Dupatta is like a long scarf that they wear around the neck. So that's what is salwaar kameez. Really hope you understood the description and if you don't then I guess you all will just have to see an Indian dress.)
(Now with the saree that's simple. See in a saree first women wear a skirt kind of thing. For the lining of the saree. Then around that they wrap a big piece of cloth around their waist and legs and then when the cloth is about to end half of the piece they put it on their shoulders. Of course with all this they wear a short blouse. Nowadays because of blouse fashions the saree's are becoming extremely sexy and best for romantic situation. There are strapless blouses, spaghetti blouses, sleeveless and half sleeves. There are even long sleeves blouses. From back there can be deep necked or backless. There are even tie ropes blouse. I extremely love those kinds. There are many many designs for blouses so I guess I'm saying only this)
(And yah 1 last thing the tight salwaars are very long from the end (near the ankles) so that when the girls wear it the cloth gets accumulated near the ankles and form bangles kind of style. This type of salwaar is known as churi daar because in Hindi bangles mean "churi." Guess that's all if any of you didn't understand I'm sorry and I guess you'll have to just see a saree and salwaar kameez only then will you understand.)
"Ohk…" replied Draco. As they were roaming around Draco saw many stalls that served food. Food in stalls cool thought Draco. "Are you hungry?" asked Ginny "yah I guess" replied Draco.
"Come I'll take you "said Ginny and they both started walking towards one of the stall. When Draco finally reached there he realized that the food there was completely different. " Namaste cha-cha kaise ho?" (Hello uncle. How are you)? Asked Ginny. "Main theekh hoon…tum kaise ho Ginny bitya" (I'm fine. How are you my child)? Asked the man behind the stall.
Draco stared from Ginny to the man he absolutely didn't understand what language they were speaking.
"Do theekhi chaat" (two spicy chaat.) (Chat is an Indian recipe that is very spicy and a bit sour its extremely tasty.)
"What's chiit?" asked Draco not knowing the Indian accent. "Its not chiit. Its chaat. It's an Indian dish." Replied Ginny. "And what language were you speaking" asked Draco. "It was Hindi. It's an Indian language," said Ginny.
"Ok even though I don't know handi or whatever it is I think I can make out that you speak it perfectly." Said Draco smiling. "Yah I can because I've been learning it from my 1st year onwards from Sonia" said Ginny.
"Oh…wow so does Blaise know too?" asked Draco. "Yah Blaise and Eva both do. And I'm sure you'll learn soon too" said Ginny smiling. Before Draco could reply the man gave them to dishes with weird stuff on it or at least that's what Draco thought. Ginny took it and Draco did the same thing. She immediately started eating and she seemed to love it but Draco couldn't make himself eat it.
"Weird right. I thought the same thing when I first came here and so did Blaise and Eva but let me tell you 1 thing it's extremely tasty. Just try it once" said Ginny.
Draco didn't feel like having it but well…he didn't know why but he trusted Ginny completely. So he had one bite. First it was extremely good and tasty but when he realized the spiciness he started behaving like a kid and asked for water again and again. Tears streaming down his face. He hadn't in his whole life had such spicy food.
Ginny laughed so badly for he looked extremely cute and funny while he asked for water. She asked the man for water and gave it to him. As he finished one glass the glass magically filled itself again. After drinking around 3 glasses of he finally calmed down but Ginny kept on laughing. "Do you actually think that's funny?" Asked Draco.
"Oh…common it is…I mean ch…cha…chat was…wasn't that …spi…spicy" said Ginny between her laughs. Even if Draco was angry but the anger seem to fade away as he looked at her laughing. Man was she pretty while laughing. Her laughter was like music to his hears and he would absolutely love it to hear it for the rest of his life.
Ginny finally controlled herself and said " come I'll make you have something sweet and cold" said Ginny. "Are you sure? Not spicy again?" he asked suspiciously "I'm very sure. But I didn't understand why u felt it so spicy. I mean Blaise, Eva and me just love it. It's not at all spicy. But yah ours was the same reaction when we had it first. Indian food is absolutely filled with spices," said Ginny giggling.
"It sure is. But well…it was the first time I'm sure I'll get into a habit of it" said Draco. They reached another stall where Draco saw many glass bottles with different colored liquid in each bottle. In between there was a big bowl with crushed ice in it and at the side was a bunch of brown small sticks. "Which flavor do you like?" asked Ginny.
"What is this thing?" asked Draco with a confused expression. "This is BARAF KA GOLA. In English ice ball. Actually it's like SLUSH except that in this we aren't suppose to drink anything. This person will take the crushed ice and arrange it on that stick like an oval ball. Then whatever flavor we like that liquid will be put on the ice and given to us. So bottom line what flavor do you like?" asked Ginny.
"I don't know haven't had such kind of stuff but you know what is nice so I'll have that" said Draco "ok…(turns to the man) 2 orange" said Ginny. In no time the man prepared this stuff and gave it to them. Draco caught hold of the stick and turned it simply round to examine it and to see where to start. At this action Ginny again started giggling. She caught his hand that had the stick and slowly took it to his mouth. "Suck it," she said calmly.
Her hands felt so cool in his. It was a wonderful feel. How he wished that forever she catches his hand. Malfoy you have gone extremely mad. Draco thought to himself. He looked at her by her weird command. And all she did was smile and nodded encouragingly. He did as he was told and sucked the juice on the ice. And he had to except it was amazing. After this Ginny left his hand and started having hers.
While they were having they talked. "So what kind of place is this?" asked Draco. "This place is owned by Sonia's uncle. Only Indians stay here and hardly anyone knows about this place other than the people who live here. Sonia bought me here when we were both in our 1st year. All kinds of Indian witches and wizards stay here. Even Parvati's parents stay here" said Ginny.
While he was listening a drop or 2 of the juice fell on his shirt. "Oh…no" he said "oh common its ok" said Ginny. "Its not I can't go roaming like this," said Draco making a stupid expression and throwing away his stick as he had finished eating. "Hmmm…don't worry I'll take you to a place where this mark will go out automatically" said Ginny smiling evilly but Draco didn't seem to notice.
"You mean magically?" asked Draco "nah!!! Automatically" said Ginny and both of them started walking.
While walking:
"So who are you going with at winter ball officially?" asked Ginny. "What does officially mean?" asked Draco. "It means the person who you will escort and have the first dance with after the first dance people usually change partners." Said Ginny taking a turn.
"With no one. And you?" asked Draco "well…with Blaise" answered Ginny. "So then what about Eva?" asked Draco. "She'll come with us too but the first dance Blaise will do with me that's all till that time she'll either dance with someone else or just wait." Said Ginny. "Well…I can take her officially?" said Draco "you can. That would be so great," said Ginny beaming.
"Its ok. By the way when are we reaching?" asked Draco "we have already" said Ginny and entered one of the parks in which no one was there. "Close your eyes and count till 10" said Ginny. "Uh…why?" asked Draco confused "common…just listen to me and do what I say believe me the mark will immediately disappear" said Ginny.
"Ohk…" said Draco uncertainly and started counting. When he finally said 10 and opened his eyes immediately a full force of water hit him. He absolutely got confused and tried to shield himself and then he heard someone laughing. And he absolutely knew who that was. So that's what Ginny meant when she had said that the mark would disappear automatically.
He was absolutely cold but surprisingly he was laughing as well and was asking her to stop it. But she didn't and kept on laughing. He somehow reached her and wrapped his arms around her from the back. He looked down at her she looked like a pretty angel in the night.
He absolutely marveled at how well she fitted in his body. He saw the pipe was in her other hand and she was making no effort to move out from his grasp.
She was so surprised by the sudden action that she couldn't say or move. And she absolutely enjoyed the warmth of his body. She wished he could hold her like this always. She wished she could turn and hug him, keeping her face on his chest and enjoying the warmth of his body. Ginny have you lost your good for nothing mind she asked herself. But still kept on staring at him and he staring back.
After a minute or 2 he started bending down slowly. Ginny thought he was going to kiss her but she didn't mind at all though she was a bit scared. She closed her eyes and waited for their lips to meet. But that never happened. He bent more down and their cheeks brushed, he bent more slightly and took the pipe from her other hand and immediately left her and pointed the pipe at her.
It took a minute for Ginny to realize what had happened. Had she really wanted him to kiss her? Yes she did that was sure. She came up with a plan and suddenly sat down on the wet grass, clutching her ankle and moaning loudly enough for Draco to hear. "AAAHHHHH…my ankle…I…I…twisted it…Pl…please HELPPPPP" she
Cried.
Draco immediately ran to her, dropped the pipe beside her, and fell to his knees. "What happened?" he asked surprised and worried, complete concern showing on his face. "I…twisty…twisted my ankle," said Ginny false tears filling her eyes. He took his foot in his lap and slightly started massaging it. By the time Ginny slid her arm towards the pipe. "Is it alright?" asked Draco looking up at her
Ginny got surprised and didn't know what to say so she cried again "AHAAAA…it's paining…do something…more massage…AHHH" "ok…ok" said Draco and started massaging her ankle again. This time Ginny did it quick and caught the pipe. She pulled he leg back, stood up, and started throwing the water on Draco. "GOTCHA" she said loudly.
"Shah" cried Draco. He went to her as fast as he could for all the force of the water stopped him. When he was about to reach her he heard someone calling her name and so did Ginny because she turned. But unfortunately when she turned her leg got tangled with the pipe and she stumbled forward falling on Draco again. Second time the day awesome she thought.
Second time the day…haha…as if I mind thought Draco. But this time too there was someone to disturb them. A small cute little girl. She bend down and asked "didi app theekh ho Na. Laga to nahi nah?"(Big sister are you ok. You didn't get hurt did you.)?
Ginny stood up and again gave her hand to Draco. He took it and stood up. Then Ginny sat on her knees and hugged the little girl and said "kaisi ho Priya"(how are you priya)
The small girl hugged her back and said she was absolutely fine. She then asked "yeh kaun hai?" pointing at Draco. "Inka naam hai Draco Malfoy. Mere sath school main padthe hain. Mere, Blaise bhaiya ke or Eva didi ke dost hain" (his name is Draco Malfoy. He studies with me at school. He is mine, Blaise's and Eva's friend) said Ginny
"Acha"(ok) said the small girl and went to him. "Hi" she said giving her hand to him. He sat on knees too and shook her hands. She gave him a thoughtful expression and said "your smart. Are you Ginny didi's boyfriend?" "And you're beautiful. Would you become my girlfriend? I'll leave Ginny for you" said Draco smiling.
The small girl giggled and then hugged him. "No don't leave my didi she is much more prettier than me and anyways I'm small" said priya. He loved the sound of Ginny being her girlfriend. And so he didn't tell her that she wasn't his girlfriend.
"Hmm…lets go. I have to get ready for the ball. And its very late darling go to bed" said Ginny and hugged priya and saw her leave. "Are we supposed to go out like this?" said Draco meaning the wetness of their clothes. "Awwww shy are you. Hehehe Ginny giggled. "Don't worry we'll be dry and exactly dressed like we were before we entered" said Ginny and they both left.
Boy he had to accept that this was the best day of his life. He had never imagined having so much fun with Ginny. And he had to accept that she was attracting him. I mean common he was about to kiss her while he was taking the pipe. Hope she liked him too…thought Draco to himself.

(A/N): sorry if this chapter sucked. Well…the water fight didn't exactly come out the way I wanted it to be. I'm extremely tired so the winter ball will be in the next chapter. Probably I'll update it tomorrow if I'm free. And extremely sorry if all those Hindi lines were confusing but I've written the translation in the brackets. Ok the thank giving's:
PnAyxTrAcKsTaR01: hey there…I am so sorry I absolutely forgot to answer your review in the previous chapter. I don't know how it slipped from my mind I'm just soooo sorry.

So it's absolutely good to know that you love my story. I'm honoured because I know my story is nothing compared to the other stories I've read and you have too. Sorry once again for not answering your review hope you're not angry.
Shreya: hey…thanks for reading my story. Thank god your computer started working. I don't think I want to put anything about Harry's love life because he and lavender doesn't at all inspire me sorry. Actually I think Ginny and Draco are the only couple that I think I can write about. I mean I tried to write about Ron and Hermione but it came out useless. And Blaise is a slytherin and all slytherins are rich and even if they aren't Blaise is. Its good to know that a classmate is reviewing my story. So next time review for each chapter please and read the other stories I told you about. Thanks again.
HannahL: sorry for the chapter to be short. I'm sorry. A thanks for saying it was sweet. Sorry if the water fight didn't come out how you had expected it. And sorry for not putting the winter ball in this chapter I swear I'll put it in the next. School is really a drag that's absolutely right.
