Chapter 16: The Twins' Birthday

"Argh…it's so hot in here…" Ginny frowned when Meg had said that. It was already October and the snow is starting to fall, sure enough it going to be freezing dead cold plus its night time.

Meg turned to Ginny. "Hey, Gin, you want to go outside? Just for a short walk?" Ginny frowned again. "Why? You're the one who's hot. And didn't you say to me one time that you hate short walks."

"I said that...mmm…anyways…I just want to talk to you, you know…girl bonding…," Meg nervously said. "Girl bonding," Ginny chuckles. ", what a lame excuse to go outside…" Meg immediately kneels in front of Ginny and plastered a puppy-eyed expression on her face. "Please? For me?"

Ginny looks at her friend, pleading to her. She closed her eyes. "Ok fine." Then she opened her and points a finger on Meg. "But, you have to promise me that we'll just walk for about ten minutes then that's it because I'm already tired. Ok?"

Meg nodded and salutes her. "Yes, sir!"

Ginny laughs. "Come on. Let's go."

Hermione opens the door while looking at a brochure. "Draco, do you want---" She looks up and saw Draco all-dressed up. She closes the door behind her. Draco looks up at her. "Why?" Hermione brings her hands to her mouth. "Oops. Am I wrong timing?" Draco sits on his bed. "Yeah, kinda." He pats the space beside him. "Come here." Hermione obeys and sits behind him. "Why? What do you need?"

Hermione hands him the brochure she was holding. Draco looks at it. The brochure was in black at the center was a building that looks like a restaurant. It's new in Hogsmeade and the name was Pub Bear. Draco looks at her. "What's this?" She smiles at him. "It may seem to be a restaurant in a glance but it's a pub. When I saw that on one of our bulletin boards," she stops and looks at Draco's clothing ", but it seems to be impossible. Where are you going?"

"A pub restaurant?" Draco frowned. "That's odd." Hermione rolls her eyes. "Its just looks like a restaurant but it's a pub. It's very different because they've got these rooms and each room has a karaoke machine where you could sing. And, the food will be served IN the room. It's very cool, right?"

"How did you know that? You've never been there." Hermione rolls her eyes, picks the brochure from him and flip it at the back. "It's a brochure, Draco. It always has information. Draco laughs at his stupidity. "Oh, right. But, I can't go with you right now. I have some place to go to."

"Ha? Where?"

"At the manor."

"Oh…ok…when will you be back?"

Draco sighed. "Sadly, tomorrow."

"Oh, then go ahead." Draco stands up. "I'm really sorry, Mia. Maybe, next time. Ok?" Hermione smiles at him. "Sure." Draco walks over to the fireplace. He steps in, grabs some floo powder and throws it where he was standing. "Malfoy Manor. In my room." With a pop and some green smoke, Draco disappears.

Hermione looks at the now empty fireplace. She sighed in boredom and lay down on Draco's bed. "What a boring weekend, Mia…"

"Gin, do you love James?" Meg asked as she and Ginny were walking at one of the secret gardens within Hogwarts. Ginny raised her right eyebrow. "Do you need to ask that?" Meg smiled brightly. "So, you NOW love him." Ginny blushed. "mmm…yeah…kinda…"

Meg stops. "What? Kinda? You mean…YOU…LOVE…HIM!" Ginny giggles. "All right…I'm in love with him right now. I mean, come on…he's the perfect guy for me. He's hot, sexy, and smart plus he saved my broken heart."

Meg agrees. "That's right. Gin, I'm glad you gotten over him. Don't fall for him again. Promise me, ok?" Ginny smiles. "I promise. You know, I'm also glad for myself because I can say now that I don't love him anymore. And, I'm sure that I'm not going to love him because I'm already tired from waiting for him. Wait. Where are we? Where are we going?"

Meg holds Ginny's hands. "It's a secret garden. Don't worry just trust me. We're going to a place where you will be so happy."

"Oh…ok…" Ginny nervously said.

Draco within minutes arrived at the Manor. He walks over to his bed and lay down.

KNOCK. KNOCK.

"Come in." The door opened and then it closed. The person's heels were tapping the wooden floor of Dracos' room, motioning that that person was walking towards him. Draco can't see who the person was because his back was facing the door.

"Delanna, why are you here?" he said without facing the person behind him. Delanna stops. "How come you knew who I am?"

Draco rolls his eyes. "Duh. You're the only person who always comes first to check on me when I arrived here and the sound of your heels…it's very familiar to me." Delanna snorted. "Whatever." She then proceeds to walk in front of him. She crawls over to the bed and lay down beside him.

They were looking at the canopy above them. "SO, how's my baby brother?" Draco wears a look of disgust in his face. "D, stop the baby thing. I'm not a child anymore." Delanna faced him. "Well, for me, you still are. Anyway, how are you?"

"I'm fine. Just fine." Delanna raised an eyebrow. "Just fine? Or just sad?" Draco heaves a sigh. "Draco, you won't fool me. I know you're not fine. You even too far from fine. You have a problem. What is it?"

Draco looks at her and then back at the canopy. "Ok, fine. Jess broke up with me." Delanna immediately sat up and looks at him straight to the face. "WHAT!"

"Yeah…" he mumbles. "Why? Draco, are you insane? Why did you let her do that to you?" Draco shakes his head. "I don't know. All she keeps on saying was I don't have any time for her anymore. But, I do. I know I do have time, D. And before she leaves she said that she love me still. I can't understand her. If she does love me still, why do we have to break up?"

"She wants you to wait…," she mumbles. "What?"

Delanna thinks for a bit and said, "Yes, that's right. She wants you to wait. You two didn't totally break up. She wants you to wait because she wants you to experience what its like to wait like she did with you. You just have to wait until she comes back to you. If you give up on waiting for her there's only one reason for it…"

"What is it?"

"You don't love her anymore."

"How can I prevent that to happen?"

"Just be patient and don't fall for someone else…"

Draco chuckles. "I won't…" Delanna rolls her eyes. "How can you be sure?" Draco smiled at her. "Simple, because I said so." Delanna snorted. "It's easy to say it but hard to do. Remember that. Sometimes you think you're so sure it won't happen but it will."

Draco sat up. "D, how come you know so much about love when you haven't fallen in love in the first place?"

"From experience of my friends. They always ask me for advice when it come to love. Being me, I analyze it first then I give some advice to them."

Draco frowned. "Why haven't you fallen in love?" Delanna stands up. "I just hate the feeling of it." Draco was bewildered. "What? Love?" Delanna nods. "But, it's a happy feeling."

"Yeah, in the beginning. But at the end, it's full of pain. I don't want to experience it."

Draco stands up and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "It won't happen if you found the right one." Delanna grunts. "And, when will that happen when I have already five dozens of boyfriends? No way!"

"You're being pessimistic again."

"It's better to be pessimistic than to be optimistic. Anyway, go change," she looks at the clock on Draco's bedside table ", and it's already seven. You have to be ready for the formal dinner." Draco chuckles at her. "Ok. D, thanks for the advice. I know I can count on you." Delanna smirked. "No problem. See you later, bye."

"Bye."

Ginny and Meg were now approaching a wooden door when Meg stops. "What now?" Ginny asked. Meg didn't answer her and begins to search for something in her pocket. She then pulls out a black handkerchief. "You should put this." Meg puts it on Ginny's face and ties it around her head.

"What are you doing to me? Are we playing hide and seek? 'Coz if we are, we have to go…it's already la---" Meg interrupts her by sealing her mouth shut. "No were not and it's only seven-thirty. Trust me. If you see this, you'll be thanking me at the end." She pushed Ginny. "Now, walk."

Ginny walks twenty centimeter from where they were and then she stops. Meg opens the door and pushes Ginny again. She came closer to Ginny's ear and whispers, "Whatever your decision on this, I will support you all the way…"

Meg unties the handkerchief from Ginny's head. Ginny opens her eyes to see what struck her the most…

"So, Draco, how are you and Jess?" Narcissa asked him. He looked at Delanna who's beside him then to his mother. "We're fine."

"Is that so?" Draco lowers his head and nods. "Then, why isn't she here with us?" Draco raised his head. "She just needs to do something very important." Narcissa arched an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Mother, can we not talk about Draco? It's the twins' birthday." Delanna butted in. Narcissa looks at her eldest child to her left and then she looks at the twins on her right. "Sure. So, you two, what do you want for your birthday?"

The twins looked at each other then to their mother. "This formal dinner is enough, mother." Narcissa sighed. "I'm sorry, if Donatella and Donna can't come. They're very busy with their studies." They smiled at her. "It's ok. We do understand."

Narcissa smiled. She wipes the corners of her lips using her table napkin and puts it on the side of her plate. "Now, can we have a tea?" her children all both nodded in agreement and they all rose from their seats to proceed outside to the balcony.

"Oh my gosh…" Ginny saw dozens and dozens of cats in every breeding and color in front of her. They were in another secret garden…also in Hogwarts. In the center, were a table dressed in black silk cloth and two golden chairs with fine china plates. The grass floor is covered with yellow rose petals…her favorite ones. She was so mesmerized by the place that she didn't notice James who's standing behind her. He came near to Ginny and whispers, "Pick one that you liked."

Ginny jumped at the voice of the person. She looked behind her and saw James. "James," she look passed him ", where's Meg? Where are we? What do you mean, pick one?" James chuckles. "She's gone. Don't worry; I'm not going to harass you. We're just going to have a dinner. But before that, pick one cat that you like the most." Ginny smiled. "How did you know I like cats?" James smiled. "I have connections, you know."

Ginny blushed. "I want that one." She points to a white cat with a pink bow around its neck with a locket pendant on the center. James walks over to the cat and picks it up. He then walks over again to Ginny and gives it to her. "It's yours. Take care of it. Now, open the locket." Ginny opens it.

Her jaw dropped on what it says. Inside the locket pendant was an engraved question that says, 'PLEASE, CAN YOU BE MINE?' "James…I…" Ginny stops. She's so lost for words.

She paused for a moment to collect herself then she looks at him in the eye and smiled. "Yes, James…I'm now YOURS."

James was so glad on what Ginny had said that he didn't realize he kissed her straight on the lips.

After five minutes, Ginny pulled away from the kiss. "I love you. You never knew how much you healed my heart. Thank you." James touched her cheeks and smiled at her. "I love you, too and you're welcome."

A/N Now that Ginny and James are together...what will happen to Harry when he founds out? You will find out…on the next chapter! REVIEW PLEASE!
