Chapter 11-Forest Surprise
When Ginny, Hermione and Tanya went back to the tower, they boys were "asleep". They girls highly doubted it though as they heard whispers until they got into the boy's room, then they voice stopped and they saw 3 sleeping guys…as soon as they left the voice started again.
However the girls let them play their sleep and tell game and went to Hermione's room for the rest of the night. They changed into their pajamas and went to bed almost immediately. Too worn out to really stay up and chat.
And that is where they were now. Sound asleep in Hermione's room. The only one that was awake in that tower was Draco. He quietly climbed the staircase to the room where the girls were and crept inside. Silently he leaned over Ginny and kissed her.
She woke up and saw Draco standing over her. "Baby…" She whined, "Its not even dawn!" She rolled over looking out the pitch-black window. Before pulling her blanket completely overhead.
"Good Morning Sunshine!" He said over her with an enormous grin on his face.
Ginny peeked an eye out of her blanket and raised one eyebrow. "OK, What do you want? What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong darlin'! But I want YOU to come with ME!" He said with a huge smile grabbing her hand and pulling her out of bed.
"Draco wait!" She said trying to stay under the blanket in bed. "Its cold! I want to stay here. Here in my bed. Where it is warm!"
"No! You have to come with me! Put on your slippers and cloak if you want to!"
"OK ok, you win! You big baby!" Ginny replied scrambling out of bed.
"Oh? I'm the baby? I'm the one out of bed, fully dressed thanks!"
Ginny glanced at his messy bed-head hair and blue rubber duck P.J bottoms and blue t-shirt with matching duck slippers and started to laugh. "Fully dressed? Haha, Harry would love to see you like that! You look so cute!" She ruffled his hair with her hand and bounced to the closet and pulled out her Pink cloak and Pink and white bunny slippers with big stuffed bunny heads. "OK, now where are we going?"
Draco eyed her and laughed.
"What's so funny?" She asked putting her hands on her hips.
"You look so cute in the morning!" He answered still chuckling.
Ginny raised her eyebrow. "Yes, I know my cloak is pink and I know I have bunnies on my slippers, and I've noticed you're decked out in rubber duckies mister! Scrubba-dub-dub!" She laughed jokingly.
"Point taken…" He said with a smile reaching for her hand and entwining his fingers with hers. "Now come on!" He said with a laugh leading her out of the room.
She walked with him out of the tower, down the hall, past the great hall and out the castle doors outside and across the lawn.
"The grass is wet…and cold…" Ginny mentioned.
Draco glanced down at her feet; "The bunnies aren't keeping your feet warm?"
Ginny rolled her eyes.
"I'm just kidding…here…" He said simply as he picked her up bridal style and began carrying her.
"No! Draco put me down! You're going to drop me or something!" She squealed.
"I will not drop you! You're light as a feather! And don't you give me the puppy face either!" He said with a grin as her lower lip poked out and she gave him her sad pouty look. "And besides, we're almost there!" He said entering the side of the forest.
"Almost where Draco Malfoy?"
"Hold onto your Pink cloak and bunny slippers! You're going to find out in just a second. Ah-ha!" He announced coming to a clearing.
"Umm…Draco, Where are we and why are we here?" Ginny asked looking around.
Draco gently put her down in front of him and slid his arms around her. "You'll see as soon as the sun starts to rise." He whispered into her ear.
They waited for about 5 minutes. Then the first ray of sun broke the horizon and all around them the air turned gold and pink. Flowers bloomed all around, little fairies danced and hovered around glistening and shimmering. Sparkling glitter fell from the sky coming down to swirl around them before disappearing seconds before it hit the floor. There was a slight breeze, which was warm, it rustled the leaves and made a beautiful romantic tune for dancing.
"Look down…" Draco whispered.
Ginny did and gasped. She was no longer wearing her cloak and slippers. Instead she was in a long flowing periwinkle blue dress. It was fitted in the top until the waist where it was tied with a sash and a flower, and then it flowed out to about her knee. Her feet were strapped into matching blue heels. She looked at Draco and saw he was in a formal suit.
"Care to dance?" He asked offering his hand.
"Of course" She answered placing her hand in his. He spun her around before pulling her close to him. She rested her head on his shoulder, and he leaned down spelled her hair, it smelled of strawberries. They danced slowly in the beautiful scene for a few minutes before Draco pulled away.
"Ginny…" He said quietly looking into her eyes. "I need to talk to you."
"Ok…What is it?"
Draco sat down on the grass and pulled Ginny down into his lap. "Well…There is this…thing passed down in the Malfoy family. Mother to son. We are to give it to the woman we love when we fall in love with them."
Draco paused for a moment and pulled a box out of his jacket pocket. He opened the box and inside was a beautiful diamond tiara with a small emerald 'M' in the middle. He put it on the ground next to him and pulled out another box, this one smaller. He opened it and inside was a necklace. A silver chain with a red rose charm. The charm was a half bloomed rose bud that was a sparkling red. The stem came down and was silver, with delicate thorns. The whole rose was about 2 inches in length.
"These are those items. The tiara is worn by the girl at the annual Malfoy ball every year. The necklace is worn always. The rose is a symbol of the Malfoys. Ginny…will you accept them? I know we haven't been together that long but I love you…"
Ginny was so shocked she didn't know what to say. Here he was, offering an ancient tradition. If she accepted it that meant she was committed and devoted forever. She loved him yes, but what if he fell out of love? Then again if he wasn't serious he wouldn't be offering her these things.
"Of course I will. I love you too," She whispered.
Draco moved her hair off the back of her neck and clasped the necklace then he took the tiara and placed it on her head.
"I feel like a princess." Ginny said softly.
"That's because you're my princess." He breathed in her ear.
"We should get back up to the castle" she whispered, "The others will be looking for us anytime now."
"Yeah you're right." Draco said back before kissing her and helping her to her feet. Their clothes turned back to their pajamas and they started to walk back up to the castle.
"Draco?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you" Ginny said as they walked across the lawn.
"Anytime sweetheart." He said with a smile.
At that moment Ginny felt the happiest she had ever felt.
…If only she had known that someone was watching their walk up from the castle…
