Chapter 7. The date
That night Ginny arrived early at the apparation point. There in a corner was Draco already waiting for her.
"As long as the stalker is still walking freely I don't want you to go anywhere alone", said Draco while walking towards her.
Ginny sighed. He was almost more concerned than Ron. And how did she ever have to stop falling in love with him when he followed her the whole day.
When the entered her flat she quickly changed herself, and got ready for her dinner with Harry. When she was ready she saw Draco already waiting for her. He was wearing black pants and a black T-shirt which showed his abdomen very well.
"Do you like what you see?", asked Draco suddenly.
Ginny hadn't noticed that she was staring at him again.
"You look good", said Ginny.
"I always look good", said he with a smug smile.
"Shall we?", said Draco while he opened the door for her.
Ginny walked out of her flat with Draco following her. Together they walked to the restaurant where they would meet Harry, Ron and Hermione. Draco grabbed her hand, but Ginny quickly pulled her hand back. Upon this Draco lied his arm over her shoulder and said:
"Look out Weaslette, that you're not going to pull another stunt like this when we are in the restaurant. I was your boyfriend, remember."
Ginny nodded and together with Draco she entered the restaurant.
"This is going to be fun", said Draco.
Ginny looked at him angrily but he ignored it.
It didn't took long for them to find Harry, Ron and Hermione sitting in a corner of the restaurant. Their eyes widened when they saw the person who had his arm around Ginny.
"Malfoy let go of my sister!", yelled Ron.
"Relax Weasley, it's not that she doesn't want it, isn't it darling?"
Ginny gave Draco a deadly look and then got a smile on her face.
"You're right, Ferret of me."
She could also play the game he was playing with her, and it was about time that he would find that out. Draco wanted to giver her an angry look for using such a stupid nickname, but when he saw that all eyes were on them, he changed his mind.
"Harry, Ron and Hermione, this is my boyfriend Draco Malfoy", said Ginny while she nervously waited how everyone would react. Harry and Ron were changing angry looks with Draco and Hermione was the first one who broke the silence.
"Well, as long as he makes you happy I'm happy for you."
"Ginny, you've got to be kidding. I mean, you and the Ferretboy? Please tell me that I'm having a nightmare. He has tormented our family for years and his dad was a deatheater", said Ron angrily.
"Ron, he can't help who his father was, and he has helped us eventually with defeating Voldemort", said Ginny.
"But still Ginny, why Malfoy? Why not Longbottom or something?"
"Ronald Weasley, if Ginny says she is happy with him you just have to accept that", said Hermione.
"But Hermione, this is Malfoy we're talking about."
"Even if it was Crabbe or Goyl, you don't have permission to meddle with your sister's love life", said Hermione.
Ron sighed.
Harry, who still could hardly believe that the girl that was having a crush on him, now was in love with his enemy, was still staring strangely from Draco to Ginny.
"Is it alright if we come and sit with you?", asked Ginny to Harry.
"Oh, ehm.. sure. I will ask if they want to put an extra stool at the table."
Ginny and Draco went sitting next to each other opposite Harry and Ron. Ginny was happy that there was a table length between Ron and Draco, because she didn't know if Ron could keep himself in check.
The conversation started very difficult now Draco was sitting with them and Ginny was happy that dinner arrived soon, so the unpleasant silence could be replaced with the sounds of eating.
The tension between Harry, Ron and Draco was very high. Several times Hermione and Ginny tried to get a conversation going, but it didn't worked. Both ladies didn't dare to go to the toilet, scared that if one of them would leave there would be a real fight.
Ginny was happy that at least Hermione took the news well. Even if this relationship was not real, she knew she could count on Hermione when it came to her decisions.
It was during the dessert that Draco found it time to shock the table another time. Ginny had called him her Ferret the whole night long and Draco found it time for payback. When Ginny looked at him he took his chance and suddenly started to kiss her. First she tried to resist, knowing where the were and that it was all only a game, but soon she stopped resisting.
Draco stopped the kiss far to quickly to her liking, but when she looked up she saw that it was a good thing he stopped, because Ron stood ready to pull Draco away from her.
"She may have something with Malfoy, but I don't allow it that he is kissing her in this restaurant", said Ron angrily.
"Oh, but you've got nothing to say about that Weasley", said Draco maliciously.
Draco grabbed Ginny and started to kiss her again. From the corners of his eyes he saw to his satisfaction that Granger and Potter were having the biggest trouble to keep Weasley away from them. Ginny was seeing this also however and quickly stopped the kiss.
"Stop kissing my sister Malfoy", said Ron angrily.
"Oh, but that isn't the only thing I'm doing with her", said Draco with a mean smile at his face while he pulled Ginny closer.
"You!", said Ron angrily while he tried to break free from Harry and Hermione.
"He is trying to make you angry and seeing your reaction I think it's working", said Hermione.
"You mean, that there hasn't happened anything between Ginny and Malfoy and that he's just saying this to get me angry?"
"Yes", said Hermione.
"Oh", said Ron while he turned to Malfoy. "Malfoy, did you really think that I would fall for that. I know that there didn't happen anything between you and my sister."
"Are you so sure about that Ron", said Ginny in a sweet voice.
She started to like it to mess with her overly concerned brother. She put her hands in Draco's neck and kissed him shortly on his mouth. When she had done this she got angry looks from Harry and Hermione who just had Ron calmed down a bit, but who started to freak out again now she did this.
"I think we can better leave again", said Ginny while she laughed at Harry, Ron and Hermione. "I will talk to you later and thanks for dinner!"
With those words she grabbed Draco's hand and walked together with him out of the restaurant. When they finally were outside she started to laugh very hard.
"This was just too funny. Did you see Ron's reaction when I kissed you. I thought he would blow himself up", said Ginny between fits of laughter.
Draco was a bit surprised through Ginny's action. He hadn't thought the youngest Weasley would have liked it to play a stunt like this on her brother and friends. Obviously he had mistaken himself in her, although he could appreciate her action.
When they reached her flat her laughter had finally died down. She put the key in the lock of her door to open it, when Draco suddenly did something she absolutely didn't expect. Draco grabbed her and started to kiss her. When they had to stop the kiss because they both needed oxygion, Ginny could finally say something.
"Harry, Ron and Hermione aren't around, you know."
"I know", answered Draco calmly.
"Then why did you do this?", asked Ginny while she opened the door.
"Because.. Oh my god."
