Author's Notes: Sorry it took me so long to update. I had major writer's block. Next chapter will be up in a week or two because I don't have anything written for it but I do have some scenes written for after that. This story will end with Draco and Ginny's wedding in Chapter 10.

Thanks to DracolovesGinny: (hope you like this chapter too!) and AngelOfHell (Well, Draco and Harry are friends in my story so that might explain why Draco is slightly Harry-ish but I absolutely didn't mean to make Ginny Pansy-ish…ew! :-) But I guess that's how my Ginny and Draco turned out. Glad you like the story so far!)

Chapter 4 Summer

"Finally, we're done with school." Ron said with a relieved sigh. Ginny stifled a smile as she noticed Hermione didn't seem so happy.

"There you are." She turned to Draco. "Congratulations."

"Thanks." Draco answered coolly as Ginny slipped her hand in his. "You coming to the party?"

"Are you mental?" Ron asked. "Are we coming to the party? Hermione, he asked us if we were coming to the party!"

"I heard, Ronald. And honestly, I think you and Harry should have gone a little easier on the butter beer." Everyone turned and looked at Harry swinging Susan around happily.

"You ready?" Ginny asked Draco quietly. He didn't like to be in crowds and there were many people on the lawn at Hogwarts, all the students and their families. Ginny could tell Draco was uncomfortable because he was still holding her hand which he normally didn't do. He nodded. "We're going to head over then, we'll see you there." Ginny said to Hermione who nodded.

They flooed to Draco's Uncle's home, Windy Corner where Draco was living for the time being. Ginny grabbed Draco's hand firmly and walked him upstairs to his room. She pushed him gently on the bed.

"We should be helping set up for the party or greeting guests or something." Draco started to get up from the bed and was pushed back down by Ginny.

"Tabby has it all handled. And she'll understand that you need a little quiet time." Tabby was a retired auror who lived at Windy Corner who was the matriarch of the family, such as it was. Ginny sat down on Draco's lap. She brushed her hand through Draco's silver blond hair, leaning forward to kiss and nuzzle at his jaw and neck. She could feel Draco relaxing under her hands. She kissed him on the mouth, sliding her tongue between his lips. Draco moaned quietly, bringing them both down on the bed. His cool hands slid under her shirt to caress her ribs just as they were reaching upwards, Harry came bursting into the room.

"Come on, kids! Party's started!" He laughed. "Oops, am I interrupting?"

"Where's my wand?" Draco growled. Ginny looked around the room for it but before she got it in her hand, Harry was gone.

"I suppose we should go down now. He'll send Ron looking for us next." Ginny grinned, giving Draco one last kiss.

They walked down to the party together. It was a lovely party, full of their friends and family.

Ginny and Draco spent almost every day of the summer together. Ginny's mother teased that she should start charging for floo powder with all the flooing that went on between Windy Corner and The Burrow with Ginny and Ron being there so often. But suddenly it was the end of summer and there were only a couple weeks left before Ginny would return to Hogwarts and Draco would start Healer Training at Saint Mungo's.

"You what?" Ginny was outraged.

"I think we should see other people." Draco repeated calmly.

"Who do you want to see?" Ginny demanded angrily, feeling her Weasley temper starting to flare.

"No one. You've still got a year left at Hogwarts and I just think-"

"You're not thinking!" Ginny yelled.

"I am. Look. This way, if we're just friends, there's no pressure. You can fun your final year, you can study for your NEWTs and I can focus on my training and when you graduate we can get back together."

"You're assuming I'd want to get back together with you." Ginny huffed, throwing her wet hair back over one shoulder.

"You're arguing with me about taking a break, and now you tell me you wouldn't want to get back together." Draco's eyebrow arched. Ginny swallowed hard, trying to hold on to her anger – it was hard to when he looked so sexy. Then she remembered that he knew that she found that expression sexy and a fresh burst of anger surged through her veins.

"I'm not arguing!" She crossed her arms across her chest.

"You are."

"I'm not. And we are not taking a break, " her voice was firm.

"Ginny." Draco's voice sounded pleading

"Draco." Ginny answered coldly.

"Come here."

"You come here." Ginny stood stubbornly where she was. That was a mistake, she decided a moment later when Draco started towards her. They'd been lounging around in the swimming hole. Draco stood up in the water and the water trickled down his bare chest. She swallowed hard. "You can do all that if you want to. All that no pressure and crap, but I refuse to acknowledge any break."

"Then we won't take a break." Draco pulled her close.

"Good." Ginny trembled as Draco kissed her neck.

"I'll try to come for all the Quidditch games and Hogsmeade weekends, if you want me to."

"I want you to." Ginny whispered into Draco's ear before nipping at it sharply. She gasped as Draco tightened his arms around her, pressing her to him with such force that she couldn't breathe. She could feel his hard body against hers, she gripped his shoulders tightly and tilted her head back just in time for Draco to crush her lips against his.

"What's wrong?" Draco walked quickly into the kitchen. Tabby had told him Ginny had flooed over and was looking pale.

"Read this." Ginny thrust a scroll into his hand. Not knowing what to expect, he read it quickly and his eyes widened.

"Oh, baby girl!!" Draco shouted as he picked Ginny up and twirled her around.

"That's Head Girl to you now." Ginny giggled as Draco kissed her collarbone. "I can't believe it."

"I can. Dumbledore chose the best girl in the whole school." Draco grinned at her. Ginny wrapped her legs around Draco's hips. "I think this calls for a celebration."

"Really?" Ginny kissed Draco hard. "What did you have in mind, Mr. Malfoy?"

"You have a dirty mind, Miss Weasley." Draco smirked. "I was thinking ice cream."

"On you?" Ginny tried arching her eyebrow.

"As in, I'm paying, yes." Draco's lips brushed against hers.

"Mm." Ginny kissed Draco again. "It'll have to do. For now."
