Saturday morning was really uneventful for Ginny. Once she went to sleep she didn't even remember Draco leaving. She just remembers waking up around 11 am and feeling refreshed. For the last week she went to sleep around 11 or 12 o'clock and woke around 6 in the morning so that felt good.
Once she was finally up and dressed she flooed her mother and talked to her for about an hour. She didn't tell her about Draco staying over until she fell asleep but she did tell her mom that she really was enjoying spending her time with Draco. Her mom had already began to ask her when she was going to bring him to a family dinner.
After talking to her mom over the floo she grabbed one of her favorite books from her bedroom bookshelf and went to her recliner in her living room. All she planned on doing today was sitting back and putting her body in a relaxed state.
About an hour after she began to read her book someone knocked on her door and she went slowly to get it. She was still not feeling up to being bothered and thought about not opening the door but she thought that it might be McGonagall.
When Ginny opened the door it was Draco and she just looked at him. He was dressed in a black and green pin-strip suit with a dark green cloak over it looking very lost.
"How are you doing?" questioned Draco leaning against the wall by Ginny's door.
"I'm good, I slept well last night," answered Ginny stepping out of the apartment and closing the door.
"I don't mean to disturb you but my mother is having a dinner party at the manor and she is insisting that I at least invite you." Draco looked at Ginny in question and she smiled sweetly at him.
"Who is going to be a this party?"
"Most of the people that were in Slytherin will be there and a few people that you might know. It's kind of a dinner party but there will be people discussing blood lines and the such. It has become an important topic these last few years."
"Sure, I'll come. Are you sure that you're ready to invite to party where your friends are?"
"You'll learn Ginerva that there aren't many people that I consider my friends. Throughout my life I only had two real friends and one of the died in the war and besides you couldn't embarrass me."
"Well come on in and you can sit in the living room while I get dressed. Is there something particular that I should wear?"
"You'll be perfect no matter what you wear," said Draco and Ginny walked away like she was walking on clouds.
Thirty minutes later Ginny walked out of her room with a black dress with a green cloak. Her hair was pulled back in a bun and she wore a gorgeous necklace that shined in the dark. As she walked into the room Draco looked at her and smiled. She looked gorgeous in his eyes and her smiled made her look ten time better.
He remembered when he was with Pansy and he just wanted once for her to smile but she was your normal everyday pureblood woman. Ginny was different; she was pureblood and she had an amazing personality.
"Minevera agreed that she would open the floo so that we could arrive on time. So just step into the fire place and say Malfoy Manor."Following Draco's instructions Ginny stepped into the fireplace and said Malfoy Manor and just like every time she flooed their was a tight pull in her belly button. When she opened her eyes she was standing in Malfoy Manor and Draco was standing with her.
"Welcome Ginerva," said Narcissa walking straight pass Draco and pulling Ginny into a half hug," I have been wondering when Draco was going to bring you back to the manor." Ginny just smiled as Narcissa immediately swept her away to where a group of women were standing in full conversation.
"So has the medi witch told you whether you're having a boy or girl?" asked a lady with long blond curls that cascaded down her back. She was talking to a lady pitch black hair and was wearing a gorgeous dress robe with the symbol for the house of Parkinson embedded in it.
"Yes, I found out today that I was going to have a little boy." beamed Mrs. Parkinson. She was actually glowing brighter than the huge chandelier in the ceiling.
"Have you figured out a name for the little boy as of yet?" questioned Narcissa smiling dearly at Mrs. Parkinson.
"No, we have decided to wait until the baby gets here then we'll name him. It's kind of hard because you always want to name your child something unique."
Ginny stood with the ladies kind of bored for about fifteen minutes before Draco came and rescued her and she kind of got a sense of how important it was to keep their blood lines pure. Mrs. Zambini came from two extremely pure blood lines and had only given birth to one child, Blaise. Before the end of the war she never dreamed of having more kids but now more of the men in pureblood society was seeing it as a necessity.
"Did they kill you with questions?" asked Draco as he dragged kind away from his mother who was scowling at him.
"No, they didn't really ask me anything. A lot of questions were directed at the mother to be but I have a feeling that they'll get me back to hound me on this thing we have going on."
Draco looked at Ginny in question after she said this thing we have going on. Throughout the last two weeks Ginny Weasley hadn't been far from his mind but he still didn't know where their relationship was going. He had been surround by most of the older men of the pureblood society and many questions were asked about Ginny. He had to tell them that he honestly didn't know how to answer any of the questions they were asking him.
Ginny walked around with Draco for the next hour or so with a smile on her face but she felt really uncomfortable. She didn't have anyone to talk to that she knew and she felt left out of most of the conversations.
"You don't look comfortable, Ginerva," said Narcissa coming up to the table where Ginny was sitting by herself waiting for Draco to return.
"I'm fine ma'am."
Even though Ginny said that she was fine Narcissa would have felt bad for just walking off and leaving her so she called a few of the younger women and some of the older ones over to the table.
"This is Ginny," stated Narcissa introducing Ginny to the other women," she here with Draco tonight."
All of the women smiled and introduced themselves to Ginny. Most of them seemed nice but a few of them seemed extremely stuck up.
You're Molly's daughter correct?" asked one of the older women, she looked like she could have been Narcissa mother but she knew that the older black was dead.
"Yes," answered Ginny giving the lady a questionable look.
"Your grandmother talks about you all of the time. She bragged when you made head girl and even more when you were accepted as the youngest teacher to ever teach at Hogwarts," said the old lady who Ginny later found out was indeed Draco's grandmother but she was not a Black, she was a Malfoy.
"Oh, really" questioned Ginny because she never thought that her grandmother would brag on her or any of her siblings.
"Yes but she did say that you have one down fall," said the older Mrs. Malfoy as Ginny became all ears," she says that you aren't doing to good in the finding a husband realm but I will inform that I think she is wrong. I think that me and Mrs. Prewett will both have grandchildren in the next two or three years."
All of the women at the table and Narcissa were all ears. Even a few of the men had overhead what the elder Mrs. Malfoy said and Draco even spit out the wine that he had just drunk.
"Grandmother," said Draco leaving the men that he was talking with," why are you hassling Ginerva?"
Draco walked behind Ginny and whispered in her ear. He was quiet with what he was saying but Ginny blushed deep and everybody in the room were wondering what Draco had told her.
All throughout dinner and the rest of the night Ginny cheeks were bright red . She was really embarrassed about what Draco had said to her but she was not mad. He had told her that his grandmother was wacko but he wouldn't mind it to much if she was the mother of his children.
After dinner Ginny and Draco said goodbye to everybody and made their way back to Hogwarts. It was about nine o'clock on a Saturday night but Ginny was extremely tired.
"Would you like to come to my room for a drink or something?" asked Draco and Ginny considered it for a second.
"Sure," said Ginny but time she said yes she yawned deep and Draco started to walk her to her door.
"It's okay if you want to go to sleep."
"I won't be able to sleep when I get in bed."
"Would you like it if I held you again? Did that help any?"
"I can't get use to you holding me every night."
"I really don't mind," said Draco as he walked in Ginny's apartment with her," why don't you get yourself ready for bed and I'll wait until you're finished."
Ginny made her way to her room to get dressed for bed. She took a quick shower then put her night clothes on before walking into the living room.
Draco pulled Ginny into his arms and she quickly went into dream land. All she needed was someone strong to hold her and make her comfortable. In some ways she was a little girl again. She had never really gotten over what happened to her in the war and she never thought that she would.
About ten minutes after Ginny was sound asleep Draco walked her into her room ans laid her on her bed. He moved to leave but Ginny had a tight hold on his shirt.
"Stay please," said Ginny still half a sleep and Draco did just that. He climbed in bed with her and pulled her back into his arms.
