A/N: All right I am so very sorry my wonderful readers that it has taken me so long to update this story. A very close friend of mine died and I just couldn't write anything for a while. I am truly sorry. I have also decided to dedicate this story to him.

Dedication: Dedicated in Memory of Scott Nathaniel Potter.

My Draco Forever More.

Now R/R Always!

Chapter 5

Draco

I sat on her couch watching her slowly pacing to and fro while she ranted. I had, of course, long ago stopped listening to what she was saying. After all she was standing before me, nearly naked in her silk knickers. Even though I had told myself that as a gentleman I should not be thinking the things I was thinking, but then I remembered that I was a man, no matter what. I sighed heavily while waiting for her to quiet down so that I could explain everything to her, well almost everything.

Ginny in the mean time was still pacing and yelling non-stop on how much of a pig I was, after a few moments she started cursing me frantically in French and I raised a single eyebrow at the words that flew from her mouth, a smirk slowly spreading over my face. Even I didn't say some of the words that were coming out of Ms.Weasley's mouth.

After a few moments the wind seemed to have left her sails and she visibly deflated, sinking down into a chair that was behind her. I smiled slightly and she glared back at me. When she spoke again her tone was quiet, and momentarily surprised me before I responded.

"Draco, Why are you here? Please just tell me, I really don't feel like yelling at you anymore."

I nodded my head slowly before responding, after all I secretly wanted her to get down on her hands and knees and beg for me to tell her why I was invading her space.

"I'm here Virginia, because I was sent to deliver this to you. After all we didn't know if you would read the letter if we sent it by owl." I pulled the letter from my pocket and slowly handed it over to her.

I watched her as she looked at the envelope curiously, frowning more when she recognized the Hogwarts seal. She opened the letter and I watched her read it with anticipation, after all I had no idea what the letter said other than it was offering her a position at Hogwarts. I knew not what position or even what else might be written in the letter.

I looked more closely at Ginny and realized she was slowly, but steadily, getting paler and paler. For a moment I thought she was going to feint before she bolted out of the chair, with tear filled eyes, and ran to the little bathroom. Not even bothering to close the door. I listened as I heard the unmistakable sound of someone realiving themselves of what was in their stomach and winced.

Glancing down on the floor I saw the letter and picked it up, slowly reading over what it said. When I was done, I was furious. How could Dumbledore could have done that to her, couldn't he have waited to tell her in person, and possibly let her family tell her that would have made it much less harsh than reading it in a damned letter.

The Letter Read:

Dear Ms. Virginia Weasley,

I assume that you are still unmarried. Now that I have found you I would like to offer you the position as Head Nurse at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Madame Pomfrey has waited until we found you to retire as she says you are the only healer she will trust with taking care of the students here. Please accept the position, as I fear that Madame Pomfrey would refuse to leave otherwise and she is in much need of retiring.

On more graver news I regret to inform you that your brother Mr. Ronald Weasley was killed in an accident involving his position as an Auror. Your brother went back into a building about a year ago, along with a number of other Aurors, to capture some remaining Deatheaters only to find out it was a trap. Ronald saved the other aurors but was brought down before he could get out. I am very sorry Virginia. Your family needs you now more than ever before. Please Return to England, with Mr. Malfoy. I think it would be the best benefit for everyone.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Headmaster of Hogwarts

After a moment I stood up and walked slowly to the bathroom door. I knocked softly, listening to sound of sobs on the other side of the door. I reached for the knob and found it locked and I wasn't about to go into the bathroom without her permission, it would be far too ungentlemanly thing to do.

"Ginny, I'm going to sleep on the couch. I hope that is all right with you. If you need to talk or anything just tell me all right?" I spoke loudly so that I could be heard through the door. When no answer came I sighed and return to the living room. This was going to be one long sleepless night.

A.N: Well I hoped you liked this chapter. I apologize very much for it taking me so long to post it. I am VERY VERY sorry. If you have any questions you can post it in your review or send it to me at If you didn't like this chapter blame it on my Plot Monkeys and Plot Puppies. They don't seem to be liking me very much.
