Chapter 2: Meeting With Harry Leads to Revelations

Draco was suffering through an incredibly interesting meeting with the one and only Harry Potter. They actually got a long better then they did in school, but that didn't mean they were friends. However, they did meet once a month, considering they were two of the most influential wizards in England. It gave them good press and they helped each others careers out.

"Is what I hear true? You're engaged to Hermione?" Draco asked as he sipped his water.

Harry nodded. "The wedding is next year."

Draco shook his head in disbelief. "I don't understand why someone would want to be tied down to one woman for the rest of their life."

Harry shrugged. "I'm in love."

Draco snorted. "Love is for fools."

"I'm a fool then."

Draco rolled his eyes. "God yes."

"What about you?" Harry asked. "Do you have a girl?"

"I was dating Cassandra Little, from the Ministry, but-"

"You broke up with her?"

"I thought I did, but she seems to think we are still an item."

Harry shook his head, laughing quietly. "That's what happens when you just date random girls, you will never know when you will end up with a crazy girl."

"Yeah, well I need her to leave me alone so that I can be free for the next girl."

"Already found your next girl friend?" Harry asked.

Draco shrugged. "I met this one girl but she refuses to give me her name."

"Sounds like a smart girl." Harry laughed.

Draco glared at him. "She says that I use to know her."

"Did you?"

"I don't know." Draco replied. "I don't recognize her. But she has these eyes."

"What about them?"

"They were just, amazing."

"You sound like you are infatuated with her."

Draco shrugged. "Maybe I am."

"Well, you either are or you aren't."

"I don't even know her name. How could I really be infatuated with her."

"She's a mystery to you." Harry replied. "And you know that I know how much you love a mysterious girl."

"You don't know anything about infatuation, you are in love."

"If I weren't infatuated with her, I wouldn't be in love with her."

"Love is just a game in which you are losing."

"You call it losing, I call it winning." Harry shrugged. "At least we know that when I am old and sagging I will still be shagging. Can you say the same?"

"If I ever start to sag, anywhere, I'll kill myself. Or better yet, use a spell." Draco told him. "So how are the Weasley clan?" As Draco asked this he couldn't help keep the disdain out of his voice.

Harry smiled as he whipped out his wallet. "Luna, Ron's wife, just had a baby girl." Harry held out a picture.

Draco took it and looked at it. "How in Merlin do they manage to fit every member of their family into one picture?"

"Magic."

"Who's the brunette?" Draco asked zeroing in a very familiar face.

PPP

It could not be. The girl who had captured his interest could not be her! It was just wrong. He was in a hissy fit. After quickly excusing himself from Harry and their lunch, he had rushed off back to his office. He had half a mind to really lay into Eliza for not finding out who she was. He decided against that, and instead decided to slam his door loudly after entering his office. After throwing a few paper weights against the wall and breaking a glass or two he decided he would be more productive at home, where he had many valuable vases.

Without a goodbye to Eliza he apparated home where he did continue to throw things against the wall. In all honesty he was being childish. He knew it, but she had tricked him. Of course he would have never recognized her, how would he have? Her hair was a whole different color.

He was in mid throw when he remembered that she had told him about her difference in hair color. Draco stormed into his study and pulled out the drawer that housed the stack of pictures. After flipping through and finding the picture he wanted he apparated back to his office.

"Eliza, find everything out about this girl then you can." Draco told her as he dropped the paper on her desk. "I want every article, picture and piece of information that you can find on her and I want it before lunch tomorrow."

With that said he apparated right back to his house where he promptly collapsed on his couch and didn't move until he heard a tapping on his window. He opened it to find owls, once again, carrying a parcel. He unwrapped the parcel and found a note sitting on top. He disregarded the note, knowing it would just say basically that this was all the information. He sat down at his desk and started reading through all the information that Eliza had sent him.

She was retired from working at the ministry. She had opened up her own business, a magazine, using the money she had made and been awarded from fighting in the war. She had recently broken up with a very serious boyfriend, which is why she dyed her hair. She lived in a flat in a little town near England alone, after moving out of the flat she had shared with her, now, ex.

The magazine she owned mainly focused on the lives of important figures in the Wizarding world. It was a very popular magazine and she had quickly doubled and then tripled her net value. She had quickly gone from writing most of the stories and publishing the whole magazine by herself, to running the magazine and having others write the stories.

How he had missed out on her. How had he not seen her in the papers? How had he not known?

After two hours of reading everything that Eliza had sent him, Draco decided to go to bed. In the morning he would wake up and it would all make sense. Because, at the moment he couldn't help but wonder how they hadn't run into each other earlier.

For the second night in a row he had a rough night of sleep. He woke up in a bad mood and that's how he was pretty sure his mood would continue. He rolled out of bed, barely taking the time to get dressed and fixing himself properly before making his way out of his house, with all the information Eliza had found him. During his tossing and turning that night he had decided upon a way to call her out.

His morning went by slowly and he was anxious for lunch time to get here. Once lunch time arrived he once again hurried to the book store. He carried his information as he made his way to the back of the book store. Before she had a chance to look up he had dropped the information in front of her.

She reached over and looked at the first piece of paper before looking at him amused. "So you figured it out?"

"I can't believe it is you." he said accusingly.

She rolled her eyes. "I gave you hints, I can't help that it took Harry for you to find out."

"I suppose you think it is funny, you a Weasley pulling the wook over a Malfoy's eyes."

"I didn't realize that this would hurt your pride." Ginny replied. "After all you approached me. Not the other way around."

"You should have just told me who you were." he told her as he turned to leave.

"Does it bother you that this girl you became infatuated with was a Weasley?" she asked, following him out of the bookstore. "Someone so below you?"

"You tricked me." Draco replied as he continued to storm out of the bookstore.

"I did not trick you!"

"Changing your hair color, playing that little guessing game."

"I did not change my hair color to trick you. I didn't even know I was going to run into you." Ginny replied.

"No, you changed your hair color because your ex hated brunettes."

"How did you know that?" Ginny asked grabbing the back of Draco's jacket so he would have to stop walking away from her.

"You don't know?" he asked smirking. "I have my ways."

She rolled her eyes at his obvious childishness. "So you can do some good research. Good for you."

"Is there a reason you are following after me?" Draco asked.

"I guess I'm just a bit confused." Ginny replied. "Yesterday you were so interested in talking to me and getting to know me and now you aren't."

"I didn't recognize you before." Draco replied.

Ginny sighed and grabbed her wand out of her pocket. In less than a second her hair had changed from brunette back to red. "Happy? Now you recognize me and you can be an ass to me without feeling bad."

"You're the one who tricked me."

"I did not. I didn't pretend to be someone else. You didn't recognize me. I told you that you knew me. I told you that you were an ass to me, more so than most other kids at Hogwarts. I told you that brunette wasn't my usual hair color." she shook her head. "I don't even know why I care, I don't like you either. I have to go."

Draco sighed. He knew he was going to regret what he was about to do, but for some reason he felt compelled. "Dinner with me, Friday?"

She turned to him and laughed. "You're joking right?"

He looked at her like he couldn't believe she had just turned him down.

"We were just fighting. You think I tried to trick you. I don't even know you."

"That's a good reason to have dinner with me." Draco replied. "To get to know me."

"Why do you want to have dinner with me?" Ginny asked.

"Two reasons, it would get my ex off my back and apparently I like you." Draco told her, the last part a little forced sounding.

"Well, I suppose a free meal is a free meal." Ginny replied with a shrug. "Sure, I'll meet you at La Fonda's Bistro at eight."

"I'll see you then." Draco nodded before turning and apparating back to his office.

(A/N I'm predictable... gosh... can't you even let me believe that I might shock you guys with Ginny? I mean come on... leave me some fun! Don't forget to review)
