Chapter 9: Hey Ginny, let's go ice skating!

Quick Recap:

"What the hell do you mean that you're going to be a fucking Death Eater? Why the hell do you think that I'm going to marry a Death Eater?" Hermione asked with a fire of rage in her eye.

"Because,"

Draco POV

"Because, I love you. I've loved you since you had the nerve to punch me and bruise this precious skin. I don't know why I never decided to be friends with you earlier. That would have saved me a whole lot of heart-ache and it sure would have saved me from thinking that I was going to marry Pansy. And now that Father has informed me that I "have to marry you" I thought it would be a wonderful time to give you this,"I said. I was nervous as hell asI ran tomy room, got a small velvety box, bent down on one knee and said "Hermione Nicole Henderson, will you do the honors of umm, accepting this ring?" I was sweating like crazy and had all these little flutters in my stomach. She wasn't saying anything. Oh shit! She's not saying anything! Oh great, I just made the hugest fool of myself. Wait, why am I talking to myself? Draco Julius Malfoy, you stop talking to yourself and wait for this girl to answer.

Hermione POV

I looked down at Draco with shock on my face. He wants to marry me! Oh, Hermione Nicole Malfoy! That sounds nice. I really need to talk to Ginny about this. She needs to know. Hermione, stop talking to yourself and answer the boy.

"Draco, I would love to marry you, but how did you find out my middle name? I haven'ttold anybody. They all think that it's "Anne". What kind of middle name is that foraHenderson?" I asked him. I looked at the ring. It was HUGE! 14 karat gold band with a GINORMUS (AN: I KNO THAT THAT'S NOT A WORD, BUT IT'S A FUNNY NON-WORD, AND THIS STORY IS PART COMEDY)DIAMOND. Well, I really had to tell Ginny about this.

"Well, umm, about that, see,I umm, well," he stuttered.

"Just spit it out already! Never mind, muggle expression. Just tell me." Isaid.

"Umm, well, you remember when prefects had office duty and had to sort all the papers in the office? Well, see, I sorta lookedateverybody'sfileandsawwhattheirmiddlenamewassothatIcouldmakefunofthem." he said in one breath.

"Whoa! Slowdown!Now, slowly tell me what you did,"I said. I really wasn't in the mood for this. I mean, I pulled him out of breakfast to talk abouthim being a Death Eater, and now hereI am asking him hao he knew my middlename.

"When the prefects had office duty, I looked at everybody's file and saw what theirmiddlename was so thatI could make fun of them, but your's was too pretty to make fun of. Didyou know that Ron's middle name isLloyd? Ronald Lloyd Weasley. Whoo!That is some funny shit," hegiggled. Malfoys never giggle, so you know that it had to be extremely funny.

"Draco, you just giggled. Do you know that you just giggled?"I asked. "Maybe weneed to take you to MadamePomfrey."

"No, I'm just fine. Go show Weaselette your rock," Draco said while wiping the tears of joy off of his beautifulface.

"Yeah, I'll go show Ginny. I'm sure she wants to know. Bye Drakie Poo,"I said, waiting for him to register the fact that I just called him what Pansy always called him.

"Please, never call me that again if you value your cat's health," Draco said in a very serious tone, even though you could see the smile creep through.

"Fine, just let me go see Ginny. Loveyou,"I said. I leaned up to kiss him.

"I know you do. Everyone does. Love you too babe," He said. I wish that he would stop smirking. It was so unattractive.

As I walked to the Lion's Den, I thought about what I would say to Ginny.

Hey Gin! I'm not a Henderson for long. I'm now an almost Malfoy! "Whoa! How did you pull that off?" "Well, Draco just asked me to marry him. Besides, his dad wants us married." "Whoa! Lucius Malfoy wants you married to Draco?" "Yeah. Something about "the family money shall prosper with a Henderson in the family"

Before I knew it, I was at the Fat Lady's portrait.

"Taste the rainbow" I said. Dumbledore really needs some help picking the passwords. She looked in the common room to find Ginny doing her homework from last night. She completely abandoned the thought in her head previously as she said," Ginny, we need to go skating"

"Why?" Ginny asked. "It's only the beginning of October, it's not near cold enough"

"But who needs a skating rink when I have all this ice on my finger!" I said.

Ginny looked at the ring, then she fainted.

"Ennervate. Ginny! Are you ok?" I asked. I kind of expected that reaction.

"Hermione Nicole ex-Granger Henderson and now almost Malfoy! Let's go skating!"

OH, WHAT FUN I WILL HAVE WITH HIM! MUAHHAHAHAHAHAAH! and if you can figure out what the gibberish was in the first author's note, you get a cookie! here's a hint : the letter is the first letter in the word and the number is how many more letters are needed.
