Draco was soon sitting down with his mother to eat. He hadn't seen his mother since before the last battle. It was great to finally sit down with her and discuss everything. They had never been able to talk freely like this when he was at Hogwarts. His father ruled over them both and his mother had loved and feared him since before he was born. His father had not always been evil. He had truly loved his mother at first, but he soon found another love, the dark arts, and Narcissa soon became another of Lucius many possessions. Now they just sat at a small table and talked and had tea. Draco explained everything that had happened to him since the battle. How Snape and Pansy saved his life. His fathers friends wanted him dead, so they staged his death and helped hid him. He had stayed hidden until all the death eaters were rounded up and sent to Azkaban. Then he had wondered the wizarding world for a few months, laying low and finding out what was going on. And when a small story about Head Auror, Ron Weasley getting engaged to journalist Hermione Granger was in the paper Draco found out that Ginny Weasley was taking their wedding pictures and was still single. He also talked of his life at Hogarts and what all had happened to him after he had run away and got his own house during the summer after his 6th year. After talking for most of the afternoon Draco decided it was time to go back to Blaize's. He said his goodbyes and was gone with a crack.
Two days later Ginny was at the office filing papers when another rose came for her. She put it in a small vase on her desk and then finished the paperwork. During her lunch break she walked to Hermione's office two floors above the one she worked on. Her and Hermione spent their break talking about the rose's and working on wedding plans. This continued ever day for almost two weeks. One day in the second week Hermione reminded Ginny of the article they were doing.
"We're interviewing them all at Hogwarts in two days. That will give you enough time to get things together at the house. I'd like to leave tomorrow. You can leave to go home and get ready after we finish eating and don't worry about things down stairs in the office, I've taken care of it all."
"But Hermione, I have things that need to be done." Ginny protested. There were papers to file and reports that need revised and copied. She absolutely couldn't leave in two days. "How long will we be gone? Because I have a lot that needs done."
"We'll be there for about a week." Hermione said patiently, she knew how devoted Ginny was to work.
"A WEEK! A whole week away from work.! Hermione I can't, there's no way I'll be aloud to." Ginny didn't know what to think. It would be nice to get out and take pictures, plus she would get a break from all the secretary work. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. "Fine." Ginny knew there was no arguing with Hermione.
"Ok, and remember I've taken care of it." Leave it to Hermione to think of everything. So with that and a goodbye to Hermione, Ginny cleared her lunch trash and then went home to pack.
