Broken Promise Ring
Chapter 3: I.O.U One Galaxy
Disclaimer: I wish I could be that cool.
A/N: It's been a little while since I updated! Sorry about that. School's been crazy. So this is the last lead-up type chapter. Then it will pick up at Hogwarts. And please review. So many people are reading it and not reviewing and that kills me. I just want to know what you think

The sun blazed down on the lush, green park. Ginny hummed softly as she leaned against a lake-side tree. Bees buzzed around her and the water swished lightly as it rippled.
He walked up slowly, taking in the moment. He had missed her so much over the school year. Slowing his breathing, he crept up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, covering her eyes.
Ginny squealed. Turning around, she saw Draco and quickly pulled him into a hug, "I missed you."
"I can't even tell you how much I missed you, Gin," he smiled. He leaned into her, breathing in deeply the scent of her hair. A mixture of oranges, apples, and roses. It was beautiful.
Walking along a trail, they held hands. Smiling all the way they talked about all the things they hadn't wrote about.
"And the funniest part is-Well, it's not even funny, it's terrible- This Pansy girl, she seriously thinks I like her. It's disgusting," Draco scoffed.
Then his eyes softened and he looked at Ginny. Leaning in close, he whispered, "And I could never care about anyone else, not with how much I care about you."
Ginny smiled. And kissed him on the cheek, "After this summer it will be you and I together at Hogwarts."
"I know. I can't wait," Draco walked to the edge of the lake Ginny's hand locked in his and the promise rings clicking together every few steps.
"I have an idea," he said it as he walked up to a tree. He slid a small pocket-knife out of his pocket and slid it over the smooth tree.
He carved a heart, and inside it wrote D.M Under that he carved a smaller heart, so perfectly, then gently handed Ginny the knife.
She engraved her initials, G.W. Grinning, she then added Forever underneath.

They spent the majority of their summer together. At the park, because it was tradition, and usually around the lake or on the swings.
But they were always alone.
Sometimes they just sat in the park, swinging or laying by the lake, and didn't even talk. They didn't really need to. They just needed to be together.
They had millions of conversations. About anything from Quidditch to Hogwarts. From the stupidest things to the most serious.
"I've never had a friend like you, Draco. You're the only person who's really there for me," she smiled.
"No one has ever cared about me like you do, Gin." he smirked.
"No one could ever replace you," they told each other and they both knew it was true.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They enjoyed teasing each other and bringing a smile to the other's lips.
"Me, embarrassed? At least I'm not the color of my hair," Draco scoffed mockingly.
"Oh, shut up!" Ginny play-pushed him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The summer flew by. Sooner then they could have ever imagined, it was only two weeks until school started.
Draco brought a picnic-like basket with him to the park.
"I have a surprise for you," he taunted.
Ginny looked at him interestedly, "Oh, really?"
"Yes," he set down the basket and slid open the top.
Reaching inside, he pulled out a furry, lanky kitten.
Ginny "Aw-ed" and ran her hand over the gray-tan-black splattered kitty.
"I named him Dragon. It my name means in Latin. It's so you'll kind of have me with you, always."
A tear rolled down Ginny's cheek, "Thank you Draco. I couldn't ask to know a sweeter guy than you."
Draco kissed the top of her head lightly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And just like that summer ended. And she packed for school, but all she could think about was him. She climbed anxiously onto the Hogwart's Express.
