OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Merlin, planes suck."

"Merlin? Is that one of your little British slang words?" Andrew laughed besides Ginny.

"Uh… no?" Ginny didn't stop. She found it irritating when Andrew made fun of her British-ness like that. After all, she was a proud… British… girl.

"Never mind. Say, we have about an hour here until we take the car to the hotel. How about a nice cup of coffee?" Smart boy. He changed the subject before Ginny could talk him off about being British and all.

"I would LOVE th-"

"Miss Weasley! I need your assistance here!" The unmistakable bossy voice belonged to the boss.

"Hey- you know what? Carry your own suitcase! If I can carry it from there to here, so can you." Ginny retorted back, not even turning to look at Malfoy.

"Not the suitcase! There's a task for you I need you to do really quickly."

"Why can't you do it yourself?"

"Because it's something only you can do, love." Andrew looked a little green.

Ginny whipped around so fast like whipped cream and stomped over to her boss.

"What?" She said, rather agitated.

Draco grabbed Ginny's hand and pulled them out so that they were almost in a 90 degree angle from her body.

"What the hell-"

Draco dropped a box of papers in her arms. "Since you're a big girl and you can carry your own suitcase, why don't you give me an arm carrying this?" Draco asked sweetly. His voice dropped to a whisper right beside her ear. "You are now my P.A. Persoanl assistant. You will follow me anywhere and everywhere, take notes for me, and be my 3rd arm. Understand?"

"Yeah- but"

"I thought you had come down here as part of Sales and Merchandising as well, but I don't know if I can trust you from keeping your hands away from all the male workers here, besides me of course."

"You…"

"I had originally planned for Melinda Robinson to help me around but seeing now that she'll probably be a more obedient and better working person than you, you two can switch spots. You are not to leave my side until at night. Unless of course, you wish to."

"Ugh. UGH! UGH!" Ginny shivered violently. "I'm going to pretend I didn't here any of that gross… implications. UGH!"

"You go do that, dear." He said, kissing her cheek lightly."

Ginny's eyes widened. "I thought you said no fraternizing!" She glared at him hatefully.

He smirked. "I'm my own boss. I get away with things. Come on, love. Everyone's already left us here." Draco sauntered off ahead of the furious furious furious Ginny.

Ginny quickened her pace until she was right behind Draco. Carefully balancing the box of papers on one arm, she mustered all her strength on the other and whacked Draco over the head.

"OW OH MY FU-HOLY- WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT FOR?"

Ginny grinned widely and shrugged. "No idea, love."

Ginny ran to where there was a van parked outside the airport. She looked in.

"Is there space for me here?" Heads shook. She thought she caught Andrew. He was looking out the back window. "Where do I sit then?" Ginny asked, trying to push Andrew's rash ignorance away. Melinda, sitting in the second row pointed to the passenger seat.

"A P.A never leaves their boss' side." Melinda gave a sympathetic smile.

Ginny stood there, jaw hanging to the floor as Draco had finally made his way to the front of the van, slamming the driver's door shut.

"Get in, Miss Weasley. What are you waiting for?"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Wow! This place is humungoooooooo!" Ginny screamed in delight as she twirled around in her hotel room. Melinda quickly followed her in and chuckled.

"I must say, our boss has really outdone himself finding the perfect hotel." Melinda said, flopping down on her bed.

"Ugh. Don't even mention our boss. He's just one big arrogant obnoxious boss." (a/n: sound familiar? Haha)

Melinda chuckled.

"Tell me, Ginny. You don't like him, do you?"

Ginny looked shocked at Melinda. "Melinda! I can't believe you asked me that! You know I don't! You know I hate his guts!"

"Jeez. Okay. No need to kill me about it. It seems like he seems to like you a bit."

"Me? Psh. No way. He's just being a dumbass."

"Of course, but have you noticed he always pulls you away when you're talking to other guys, especially Andrew? It's obvious he's jealous."

"Jealous? Huh. I don't know if that word exists in his vocabulary," Ginny lied. She had many suspicions before about this before and never wanted to confront them.

"Whatever you say. Hey, we're free the whole day. How about a walk by the beach?"

"That sounds delicious."

"Sure thing. Let me go brush my teeth first."

"Okay." Ginny said, opening her suitcase. She wanted to get out of these clothes fast. The plane ride had left her feeling very bacteria infested.

Ginny was relieved that the weather was warm. She had brought mostly summer-y clothes with her. She pulled out brown Bermuda shorts and a bright green polo. She was finished changing when Melinda came out.

"Let's go! I've seen you've cleaned up your clothes since the fancy dinner." Melinda said, chuckling.

"Hey- I like those clothes!"

"Sure thing."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Ohh. The sand is so squishy and squinchy! I love sand. Sand sand sand. I can live on sand." Ginny ran out to the sandy beach, dropped, and started rolling around. "Sand! Sand!" She threw sand all over the place and Melinda laughed at her from far back where Ginny had suddenly exploded out.

"That girl has got some spunk in her." Andrew's voice was soft against the loud crashing of waves. Melinda turned around and looked sadly at him.

"Yeah- listen. Don't take what Mr. Malfoy is doing with her too seriously. She has nothing for him. I even asked. Just ignore him and don't start anything new."

"I know… I just can't help it! He's such a…a… selfish bast- uh… moron sometimes, you know? You see how he kissed her today in the airport? With everyone watching them? Huh. And he's the one all keen and strict about the no fraternizing rule."

"Yeah, well he can be a bit obnoxious sometimes. Just get over it. No need to get on Ginny about it. Just look at her. She's practically a kid." Ginny had now proceeded with spinning around and around. She finally collapsed, her body waving around vulnerably.

"Kid? No… she's a beautiful woman…"

"Melinda honey! You've got to try this! It's soooooo fun." Ginny cried out from where she had resumed to spinning around and around again.

"Alright!" Melinda yelled back. She smirked. "Not a kid, eh? Take care." Melinda told Andrew and skipped off to where Ginny was to join her in spinning and falling dizzily.

Andrew stayed back, wondering when she'll invite him to come join her…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Draco watched from the far back of the beach as Ginny Weasley was playing out there like a small child. He couldn't help but to feel a smile rising in his face. She was such a kid, her eyes sparkling with joy as she spun on her feet. She would then fall down, dizzy and unstable, and in a matter of seconds, pick up the speed and spin even faster.

Sometimes, he admired her ability to be able to express herself like that. How she can pull off acting so childish and not look like a total idiot at it. And then, he scoffed at her childish behavior and shook it off.

Of course he didn't like her.

When the Weasley girl had inquired to him in the plane, he had been ready to straight out say "hell no" but instead, gave a pathetic "Maybe." I mean, where did that come from?

And he couldn't help but to admit that he did get a tad bit jealous when any other man besides him was around her.

Especially that Andrew bloke.

"Psh. I don't fancy her. What am I thinking about?" Draco asked out loud. Unfortunately, someone heard him.

"Not trying to be nosy or anything, but whom may you be speaking of?"

Draco looked up. There, Andrew's figure covered his vision.

"It's none of your business now, is it?"

Draco had never really liked the Andrew guy. He had never hired him as well. By luck, Andrew had come in the week that Draco was stuck in bed with the flu and his most trusted supervisor had picked him out herself. Draco had always wanted to fire him but never had a legitimate excuse to do so.

"I think it is. If it concerns Ginny…"

"What- are you her husband?"

"No… I just want to make sure you don't do anything to her. You'll probably do so anyway."

"So it makes you my business. Terrific."

"I know you like her. But you've got to get your hands off her."

"Why?"

"Because…well…"

"Because she's yours?"

"Well… yeah."

"Does she have your name on her?"

"Oh… very mature." Andrew huffed.

"Answer my question."

"No. She doesn't. But she likes me and you know it. You've been getting in our way of getting together. I've held myself the first few times, but I don't know if I can let you continue any longer.'

"You know you'll never win her. I'm your boss."

"And what are you going to do? Use your obnoxious bossy powers to split us up?"

"Look. I don't like the girl. I've known her from school, happy? I enjoy making fun of her because I always did that at school. However, I can't have you with her because there is a company rule…"

"Oh, puh-lease. You broke that rule so many times."

"I am my own boss."

"It doesn't matter. It's not fair."

"Life's not fair."

"ANDREW! COME SPIN WITH US!" Ginny screamed.

"OKAY!" Andrew replied a bit too quickly and he stood up, leaving Draco behind.

"Whatever you do, she came to me. That's a sure sign, isn't it? I don't want to start anything with you. So let's just settle this… calmly." Andrew said, wiping sand off of him.

"Calmly? You think I'm going to beat you up?"

"Yeah."

"Huh. Well you know what? If you ever hurt her in your dumb process of 'getting a girl,' which I bet you've never experienced, then I'm going to have to hurt you. Deal?" Where the hell did that come from? That was a total giveaway of what Draco felt… DID NOT feel for her!

"Hm… and you said you didn't like her?" Andrew muttered, running to where Ginny was. He laughed when she fell again, scooped her up in his arms.

"AHH! NO! ANDREW! LET ME GO!"

"Oh, the water looks so pretty like you, princess! You guys just belong together."

"NO! DON'T YOU DARE! NO! LET ME GO!" Ginny screamed.

Draco smirked. Silly girl. Hawaii waters were always cold…

It was the last week of school, finals just over. Students of Hogwarts hung about outside, enjoying the warm weather. It was a peaceful afternoon when suddenly, a shrill scream broke out.

A second later, a girl came running out yelling and beckoning. "A GIRL FELL INTO THE LAKE! A GIRL FELL INTO THE LAKE! SHE CAN'T SWIM! SOMEONE HELP!" Draco and Blaise smirked. Harry Potter, hero boy, jerked his head up and ran to where the commotion was. Draco and his friends followed him.

"GINNY! OH MY GOODNESS! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? ARE YOU HURT?" He heard the mudblood scream. Red hair floated all around the shore of the lake…

She can't swim.

Ginny can't swim.

Draco stood up and looked for where the Andrew jerk was. He was back at the beach, kicking the sand, Ginny no where to be found.

And then, he saw it. The red hair, bouncing about amidst the waves. Andrew laughed and yelled. "Come on! Swim to me! Isn't the water cold?"

"That bastard."

Draco started on a full sprint over to where Ginny was splashing about, screaming and drowning.

Draco whipped off his shirt and jumped into the ice cold water. He swam over to where Ginny was splashing about, now, only her hair above the water's surface. He reached out his arms and secured them around her waist, slowly and now so relieved, kicking his way back to the shore. Andrew stood there stunned as well as Melinda, who was even further back. Draco put Ginny down on the sand. Her drenched clothes stuck to her and she was knocked out cold.

Draco hit her cheek slightly. She gave no response. He put his ear to her heart, and heard a small pulse.

"I-i-is she all right?" Andrew was now standing over her.

How dare he even get a foot from her? He nearly killed her!

Draco stood up.

"I told you not to hurt her." Andrew took a step back, but was too late. A fierce fist came flying at him and he fell back.

Draco leaned over at Ginny, tipped her head back, opened her mouth and began to give her a well practiced mouth to mouth.

After all, he was a professional.

After a few breaths, Ginny opened her eyes.

"I can't swim." She said weakly.

"I know. We all know."

"I can't swim."

"We know."

"Am I dead?"

"No."

"Am I alive?"

"Yes."

"Draco?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

"Why…"

"Andrew…"

Draco turned red.

"Andrew… I can't swim." Suddenly, she began to cry. Draco grabbed her and held her tightly.

"It's okay. It's okay now. We all know you can't swim."

"You… you were a bad boy."

"Me? I saved your bloody life!"

"You… you were a bad boy. I don't know too much now."

"Good. Good…"

"Yeah. Good."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Haha. End of chapter. That was the corniest bay watch imitation ever. I know this chapter is really cliché and all. I mean all stories have Ginny almost dying and all, but oh well. Oh well! Since all stories have them, I guess I can't be any different, now can I? Muahaha. I went to the beach today! It was cooooool. Cool.

Review please.

Ta ta!
