Professor?

Chapter 5 (decided to have a chapter title its "If only he would".)

Fred and Meghan were taking care of the shop while George was out on business and Derrick was looking around Diagon Ally. It wasn't as busy as it had been during that summer, that was to be expected of course, Hogwarts students being back in school and all. Meghan was waiting. She was waiting for Fred to open his eyes, for him to see that she was really in love with him and to pop the question. If only he would. They were going out to dinner tonight so maybe, maybe he would ask her. If only he would.

"Fred, where are we going to dinner tonight?" Meghan asked.

"It's a surprise." Fred said with a smirk. Meghan smiled she liked surprises and hoped this would be a good one.

---------------

"Yes, Ms. Zeek. That is correct." Ginny said as Marisa Zeek answered the question correctly. She was in Ravenclaw and knew all the answers, a regular Hermoine all right.

Just then the bell rang and all the students started filling out of the classroom.

"Don't forget to do the two foot essay on the Wolf's Bane potion." Ginny called as the class was leaving.

"You're not Draco." A tall tan man with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes said as he stood in the doorway where the students had just been leaving from.

"No, I'm not." Ginny said with a smile. "I'm Professor Weasley, the Potions' Master. Who, may I ask, are you?"

"A Weasley beat out Draco for the Potions' Master position." The man said while shaking his head. He couldn't believe it.

"And this is a surprise?" Ginny smirked. He laughed.

"Not exactly. I'm Blaise Zabini by the way. The official best friend of the Slytherin, that once again got beat by a Gryfindor. I know you're a Weasley, but do I get a first name?"

"Ginny, my name is Ginny Weasley, official girl friend of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

"Girlfriend? Why is this the first I've heard this?"

"I don't know. He's never brought you up before."

"Hmmm… you know where the guy is?"

"Uh… yeah, this way."

-----------------------------

"Draco Malfoy!" Blaise yelled as he entered Draco's office. "How DARE you not tell your BEST FRIEND that you have a GIRLFRIEND?"

"Uhh… hi Blaise."

"Heh, that's not a good enough answer." Ginny entered the office then.

"Why didn't I ever find out about Blaise?" Ginny asked.

"Why are you two teaming up on me?" Ginny and Blaise just glared at him. "Alright, the answer to your question Blaise, is because I didn't have time to tell you."

"You didn't have time to send an owl saying you were going out with Ginny Weasley?"

"No. I didn't. And Ginny, I don't know who your best friend is either. So don't pull that one on me."

"Yes you do! It's Meggy! You met her at the twins shop!"

"Yeah, well, oh well."

"Blaise, you want to get lunch?"

"Yes Ginny that would be lovely."

"What about me?"

"What? Oh yeah, I suppose if you want to tag along you can come as well." Ginny said. She always did know how to dig the knife in deep. Draco frowned. "Don't frown Draco, it'll give you wrinkles." Blaise smirked, Draco continued to frown. Psh, why should I listen to her anyway?

--------------

"Fred this is amazing!" Meghan exclaimed as she sat on the top of the building where there was a table for two with candles lit. It was amazingly romantic.

"Just like you are," Fred said in response. Meghan blushed, and Fred smiled. He loved her. He knew he did.

As they were finishing their meal (that Fred cooked all by himself, it was pretty good if Meghan said so herself.), Meghan began to wonder what was going to happen next. They had already gone on a carriage ride through muggle London. Now they were eating this glorious meal. What was next?

"Meghan," Fred said, suddenly he was on his knees. When did that happen? Meghan thought. "I love you with all my heart and might. Will you please, please, marry me?" He opened the box that held the engagement ring. It was gorgeous!

"Yes, Fred, yes, I'll marry you!"

--------------

Two days after Ginny had met Blaise, Draco had finally been forgiven and he, Ginny and Blaise were sitting in the Three Broomsticks while all the Hogwarts students enjoyed their holiday. Blaise was very funny Ginny had found out. He could even make Draco laugh. That wasn't an easy task, she knew. But, she loved it when he laughed, even if it was at her expense, but that was because she was usually laughing along with him.

"So, you finally got some sense and dumped Potter?" Blaise said while they were waiting for their meal.

"Well… yes, I guess you could say that." Draco looked at Ginny knowingly. She was avoiding telling Blaise, even though she and Blaise had gotten rather close.

"You guess you could say that? What happened with Potter that I don't know about?" Blaise asked, pressing further. Ginny almost grimaced. She didn't want to answer that question. She was over him, but she didn't want to sound like she was telling everyone so they world would hate Harry.

"Blaise already hates him, Gin. Tell the man Ginny." Draco said butting in. He had a feeling he might pay for it, but he didn't care.

"Well… he cheated on me with Draco's cousin and now they're going out and I haven't spoken to Harry since I saw the two of them together. And next time the twins see him they're probably going to kill him. Well, that goes for anyone in my family, but who cares right? I'm supposed to hate him." Ginny said. She put her head in her hands. She didn't hate Harry, she didn't. They'd been through too much.

"I'll kill him." Only it wasn't Blaise that said that, it was Draco. She didn't hate him… what was wrong with her?

"Draco, please, I… I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I don't hate him, no. But I don't partially like him all that much, or at all, either. I just don't know how I feel about him actually. I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing, luv?" Blaise asked, he didn't blame her at all. If only Draco would understand that he shouldn't blame Ginny either. If only he would. "You were destined to marry him remember? Your whole family, all of your friends, the whole Wizarding World was expecting it. It's not your fault for trying to please them. For trying to do what's right. Don't worry about it, luv."

"Draco, I-I really a-am sorry," Ginny said practically ignoring Blaise. "But, what Blaise said is true. I was supposed to love him, I was supposed to marry him. I probably would have, and I would have been happy too, if I hadn't realized what a great guy you are. If Harry hadn't gone and become the biggest prat in the world I think I would have married him. You have to understand it's not easy to hate someone after almost loving them… its not easy. But Draco, that doesn't matter now, because I think- I know- I love you. I love you more then I ever loved Harry, ever would love Harry."

"Ginny. Blaise is right, you didn't need to apologize but it was reassuring to do so. And Ginny, I love you too." And he got. He would, he could he did.

--------------

"Fred, can I transfer to the shop in Hogsmeade?" Derrick asked Fred. It was all part of his plan to lure Ginny away from David, no his names not David, Dragon? No… well it was part of his plan to lure Ginny away from what's-his-face and make her fall, hard, for him. It was practically flawless except for the fact that he had no way of becoming near her while in Diagon Ally.

"I suppose, why?" Fred said in response.

"I'd like to see more of England while here." Ah, nice save he thought to him self.

"I'll have to talk to George about it. But I'm sure that can be arranged.

"Good. That's really good."

--------------------

It's really short I know. But I wanted Blaise in here and I wanted some of Derricks evil plan but I was having some writers block wile trying to figure out how to put it together. Sorry if I made Draco sound like a sap, I'm really trying not to do that. Thanks for reading! Please review!
