Chapter 11 - Deals

"Mr. Malfoy, I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions about you. I want to thank you for what you did for Ginny. If you hadn't had been there, I don't know what would have happened." (Mr.Weasley)

"It's okay Mr.Weasley, you were trying to protect your family. You came home to find your wife and two, might as well be three of your kids and someone who's father was one of the worst men of the dark side in ages, all of whom were looking worried. It would have scared me too, and I probably would have done the same." (Draco)

"Thank you so much for being so understanding Mr. Malfoy." (Mr. Weasley)

"I just have one thing to ask, well, besides me asking you to call me Draco." (Draco)

"Yes?" (Mr.Weasley)

"Don't think that I'm like my father. We may look somewhat like each other, and we're both good business men, of course his business was quite a bit different, but I'm nothing like him." (Draco)

"I have realized that now. I still don't know how to thank you." (Mr.Weasley)

"I just would like to be a friend of Gin's and a friend of yours." (Draco)

"Well there is, of course, no problem with that. Thank you for coming back and letting me apologise." (Mr.W)

"Of course, but I have got to be going now, I have a business meeting over dinner, and I need to get ready." (Draco)

"Yeah, I think I'm going to head home too. Bye mum, bye dad." Ginny said giving them each a kiss and a hug before her and Draco walked out the back door.

Before they apparated Draco said, "Can I talk to you?"

"Sure, do you mind coming to my aprartment?" (Gin)

"Nah, let's go." (Draco) They appeared at Ginny's apartment and walked in, and then Draco said, "Gin, I need a friend to come to this meeting with me tonight, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me? Just as friends."

"If you promise to do something for me." (Gin)

"What?" Draco asked, a little worried.

"Well I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, and I was wondering if you would come with me." (Gin)

"Sure. I'll pick you up at eight tonight. I gotta go get ready." (Draco)

"Bye, Oh yeah, Draco? Is Mya gonna be there? She's your business partner isn't she?" (Gin)

"Yeah, she'll be there, why?" (Draco)

"Just wondering." (Gin)

"Okay, well, see you later." (Draco)

"See ya." (Gin) With that Draco aparated with a pop.

Draco's Apartment

As soon as he got to his apartment he picked up the phone and called his office, "Angela, will you cancel all my meetings tomorrow, I'm meeting with an old friend, and it's a very important meeting."

"But Mr.Malfoy, your meeting with the prime minister is tomorrow, you've been waiting for a chance to meet him since you were seven." came the voice of his secretary.

"Well, I need you to re-schedule. This is very important to my friend, and I want to be there." (Draco)

"I'll see what I can do." (Angela)

"Thanks." (Draco)
