(A/N It's short, but it did what I needed it to do. Umm. I hope you guys like and give me reviews. I live off of reviews... This story isn't going to be that long.. in fact I think only a couple more chapters are needed. So start leaving me reviews so that I know that I am loved... everyone needs to know they are loved. Thanks for all the reviews I've gotten so far.)

Chapter 3: Lafonda's Bistro
Draco paced in front of Lafonda's Bistro as he nervously waited for Ginny to arrive. He had officially gone insane. That was the only explanation he could come up with. He hated her, as he always had. It's just, in the ten years since he had last seen her, she had changed a lot. She was taller, sexier, and of course he finally was able to acknowledge the fact that she was beautiful without having to worry about the repercussions.
Still, insanity was the only explanation. She was still a Weasley. Sure, he could learn to be friends with Harry-bloody-Potter, but to actually like a Weasley? That was just wrong. She would be a good shag, that's for sure. A really good shag. He nodded to himself, she would be a good shag, that was his reason for asking her out.
He looked up as he heard a little cough. "You're late."
She shrugged. "Sorry, work."
"At eight?"
She nodded. "My work never ends."
"Why did you decide to start a magazine?" Draco asked as he held the door open for Ginny.
"It sounded like fun."
"That's your only reason?"
"I've always had a passion for writing, and I finally had the chance to dedicate myself to it." Ginny replied as she followed him to a table in the back of the bistro.
Draco pulled out her chair for her before taking his own.
"So, I must say, I have never understood the friendship Harry and you share." Ginny told him. "Care to elaborate?"
"There really isn't anything to say." Draco replied. "He helped prove to people that I wasn't a Death Eater."
"Still, you guys hated each other in school."
"So did we."
"I didn't hate you."
"You didn't?"
Ginny shook her head. "No. I don't really hate anyone."
"Aren't you a good little girl." Draco teased.
"I just feel that hate is a worthless emotion." Ginny replied. "If I don't like someone I avoid them. But to hate someone, that's giving someone power to bother you."
Draco nodded, "Sounds like you've thought of that a lot."
"Maybe." Ginny replied. "Seriously, you and Harry?"
"Have come to an understanding." Draco replied. "It isn't that big of a deal. I tell him about my life, he tells me about his."
"Does he know that we are out?" Ginny asked him.
"I didn't tell him." Draco replied. "Did you?"
"No, he would have a cow." Ginny replied. "He's worse than Ron sometimes on who I'm 'allowed' to go out on a date with."
"He wouldn't approve of you dating me?"
Ginny laughed. "Since when are we dating?"
"Hypothetically, of course."
"Oh." Ginny nodded. "No, probably not, even though he thinks you need a girl like me."
"He's told you that?" Draco asked.
"Sort of." Ginny nodded. "He just mentioned that you need this type of girl, blah blah blah. Ironically that's usually exactly how he tends to describe me."
"Do you think you are the type of girl I should date?"
"No." Ginny replied.
"Really, why not?"
"Because, you aren't ready to settle down." Ginny replied. "You are one of the wizarding world's top party boys. You are dating a different girl every month."
"Maybe I am ready to settle down."
"Do you really think you are."
Draco shook his head, "No."
Ginny laughed. "So why are we here?"
"I want to shag you."
"That isn't going to happen."
"I know." Draco nodded.
"Well, as long as you realize that isn't going to happen."
"I do." Draco nodded. "After all, Potter and I are finally speaking, I wouldn't want him to go and kick my ass."
"Too true."
"When I am ready to date though, promise you will give me a shot."
Ginny looked at him for a minute, "Yeah, okay."
Draco gave her a rare smile before summoning the waiter over so that they could order. For the rest of their meal they talked about people from school and how they ended up. After dinner they walked around for a while as they continued to talk. Finally they decided it was time to go their separate ways.
Draco looked at her, "Thanks for going to dinner with me."
Ginny nodded, "It was good to see you. Especially since you aren't a huge ass anymore."
"It's good to see you too, since you aren't a gawky little red head anymore."
Ginny shrugged. "Be careful what you say or else you will never get another chance with me."
"You promised." Draco replied.
"I know." Ginny nodded. "I won't forget."
"So who's going to tell Harry about tonight?" Draco asked.
Ginny smirked. "Well, since you asked me out on the date, I say it is up to you."
"Of course you would say that."
"So, this is our goodbye."
"Good bye for now." Draco corrected her. He leaned down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you again in ten more years, probably."
Ginny nodded. "Yeah, I suppose."
She watched him as he apparated away. It was ironic, she actually ended up liking him, and yet she had refused to date him. He wasn't her type, but still, he was beautiful. She sighed as she apparated to her flat and collapsed into her bed.
