(A/N i'm assuming I don't have more then one person leaving me comments as Spunky, so I would just like to say, I love you. You have good taste in music.

Actually I love all my reviewers, but right now I'm loving Spunky because that person has good taste in music)

Chapter One: Please?

Colin looked up as Ginny entered their apartment. "You're late."

Ginny rolled her eyes. "I know. I'm sorry. Is dinner cold?"

"It's frigid." Colin replied. "So, why are you late?"

"We got a new customer." Ginny responded.

"I thought everyone was busy."

"They are." Ginny replied not making eye contact with Ginny.

"Then how do you expect us to take on a new customer?" Colin demanded as he walked to stand in front of the kitchen counter.

"Well, you and I can do it."

"What?"

"Well, it isn't like we don't know how." Ginny replied. "We are the best. And he wanted me on the case anyway."

"Who is he?"

"Draco Malfoy." Ginny replied quietly as she turned away from Colin.

"Draco Malfoy?" Colin asked in shocked. "How could you agree to Draco Malfoy that we would take him on as a customer?"

"Don't start." Ginny said quietly.

"No. I want to know why in Merlin's name we would take Draco Malfoy on as a customer."

"He needed our help."

"I don't care."

"I do."

"Do you not remember when you two broke up? Do you not remember staying in your bed for 2 weeks straight, crying your eyes? Do you not remember how his father almost killed you, on purpose, I'd like to point out."

"I do remember, all of that." Ginny sighed. "But,"

"No. We aren't doing it." Colin told her. "No."

"But."

"Ginny, how many times must someone tell you not to play with fire before you learn?"

"I'm not playing with fire." Ginny sighed again. "I'm doing my job."

"No, see your job is to run a business. Not spy on someone for your ex." Colin disagreed.

"Exactly my job is to run the business. And how well would I be doing my job if we turned away a job?"

"I didn't say your job was to run the business well."

"Colin." Ginny started as she started to lose her patience.

"No." Colin told her shaking her head. "We aren't taking him on."

"We have to."

"Why?" Colin demanded. "Tell me why we must take him on as a customer."

"Because I'm asking you to." Ginny replied. "And as my best friend you should support me."

Colin sighed, "How can you expect me to work with him after what I watched you go through because of him."

"Colin, if I can look pass it, why can't you?"

"Because you are still in love with him."

"No I'm not." Ginny told him her voice rising. "I am not still in love with him. That was a long time ago and I have moved on. Which is why I can take this job without it becoming an issue." Ginny looked at him with her best puppy dog face, "Please?"

"If we take him on as a customer, and it turns out you are still attached, then what?"

"We're talking "if" does that mean we are going to do it?" GInny asked.

"No. It means it might be a possibility."

"It won't become an issue. I promise." Ginny told him.

"If it does then we stop immediately." Colin warned her.

"So?" Ginny asked raising an eyebrow.

"Fine. But if it becomes an issue."

"It won't." Ginny replied grabbing Colin and giving him a hug. "I promise."

"When do we start?" Colin asked, patting her on the back.

"We are meeting with him tomorrow." Ginny replied. "So I suppose after that."

"And because you never mentioned, who are we spying on?"

"His fiance."

"I love how you didn't mention that." Colin told her.

"You didn't ask. Which is good considering otherwise you wouldn't have agreed."

"Damn right I wouldn't have."

"Thanks all the same." Ginny told him. "I'm going to bed now."

"You aren't hungry?" Colin asked.

"No. Just tired." Ginny replied. "Draco is suppose to owl me tomorrow and let me know when we are meeting to discuss details and get a contract signed and everything."

"You do realize that you and I are probably going to have to go to the Malfoy Charity Ball."

"Why?"

"We are going to be spying on his fiance, what easier way then being at the ball?"

"Oh." Ginny nodded. "That won't be fun."

"Just remember you're the one who wanted to spy for him." Colin told her as he gently led her to her room.

"But the ball?" Ginny asked uncertainly.

"Goodnight Gin." Colin told her as he gave her a kiss on the forehead and closed her door.

Ginny leaned against her door as she took a couple of deep breaths. She hadn't been to the Malfoy Charity Ball for two years now. The thought of going to it made her feel helpless. She was suppose to be over him, a ball shouldn't faze her. It did though. Going to that ball did faze her and it made her remember things she had hoped to forget.

She couldn't forget though. She didn't think she would ever be able to forget.

Ginny shook her head, like she was trying to shake the memories out of her head. Inside she was wondering how she got herself into this mess, but on the outside she was cool, calm, and collected. She pushed herself off the door and started across her room to her dresser. She pulled out one of her dressings gowns and quickly changed so that she could go to bed.

Ginny crawled deep under her covers and laid there thinking before she was finally able to drift off to sleep.
