There was a necklace on the table as she came down to breakfast that day. smiling, knowing just who it was from, Ginny allowed her self to relax. She had been so uptight but now her man was out of danger; there was no need to be worried. With Draco where he belonged back at Hogwarts, she knew the road was still going to be hard for them, probably harder than it ever had been before but at least they were going to face it together.
Not only had he had a part to play in the death of Dumbledore but he had then fled as if he really did have some thing to hide from and that was not the man Ginny knew. That was not the Draco she had known all this time.
From where he sat in the hall, he watched as she pocketed the necklace. She would go and put it on it the privacy of the bathrooms in a little while. The last thing she needed was every one asking her who had given it to her. Not now that Harry was back too.
She was so happy to have him back too though. Not only had she got all the people she loved and cared for back with her at Hogwarts but after years of fighting the dark lord had fallen too and she was thrilled.
She now had nothing blocking her from being with Draco.
Unless of course you counted her many brothers. And the fact that Harry wanted her to give him and her to give them and their relationship another go. And it wasn't that she didn't want to try again really. He had been a wonderful boy friend and he had treated her as if she had been a princess but yet she was unable to help the feeling that she wanted a Draco this time around. She didn't want to be little Ginny all her life. She wanted to break away and Draco could give her the chance she had been craving. The chance to fly for once in her life.
As her brother and his two friends got to the table she felt even more conscience of her feeling, they were so…confusing.
"You alright Ginny?" asked Hermione and she nodded as she took the last bit of her toast. She'd head out to the lake before she had to go back to class. She had been very stressed by every thing that had gone on, as had every one had been.
"Fine Hermione." She said to her as she picked up her bag. She could feel Harry's eyes on her. Once she would have relished in that feeling, but now she almost hated it. She just wanted them to be more like brother and sister again.
As she got to the peaceful cool pool that sat in the heart of the castle grounds she sighed. She knew she was a Gryffindor but how was she ever going to the courage to stand up for her love with Draco. So many were going to be against it.
"Ginny…" she heard a voice from behind her and she was not so shocked to see who had come to her. "I was worried when I saw you leave the hall." the smooth and tender voice told her as the figure sat behind her and begun rubbing her shoulders relaxingly.
"You shouldn't have been," she said to him. "I'm fine, just nervous." She said as she sat back in to him and his hands reverting to her waist instead of her shoulders.
"About us?" he asked her.
"Of course, what else?" she mused. "I lover you Draco, but I just don't see how I can be with you and not tear my mother, my father and my brothers in half." She said as her battle with her conscience went on. She didn't want to lose the relationship she had with her family, but she wanted to be with the man she truly loved. Was that such a crime, and if so, was it one she wanted to commit?
Looking at her he had to sigh. Once upon a time, he would have known what she was going though but Lucius and Narcissa had both died in the war. He missed them every day. There wasn't a lot he wouldn't do deep down to get them back. Not that he would admit it, not even to Ginny.
The rivalry between there family's run deep and there was no easy way for them to be together, but for him, he had to try. She was his one chance at forgiveness. The one woman who would be willing to make him happy. Even Pansy was gone from his life now,.
"Me neither, but I do swear, if you tell them then I will love you forever Ginny. Nothing for me will come above us and me being with you." He promised and she sighed in joy. At least if things did go wrong at home she had him to go to.
"Hold me." She begged and he obliged. Any invitation to be with her was more than welcomed.
"I'll wait, no matter how long I have to wait for you I swear I will." He said to her, and she nodded. That was why she loved him. No matter how horrid he was to every body else he loved her against all the odds. And he was always going to.
Taking the necklace from her pocket once she had settled in his arms, she opened the velvet box, and looked at him.
"You I assume?" she smirked, almost as perfectly as his smirk was.
"Let me put it on you." He said to her and she did as he told her, enjoying every moment his warm hands were on her skin.
"I mean it. You're everything to me. The sun, the sky and the moon, and waiting for you, is going to be my honour." He said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek and they just sat, watching the sun rise.
