A/N: I really appreciate all the reviews, but more would be great! I love to hear what you think about the story.

Chapter 13

For the next few months Ginny struggled between work, Draco and her family. After working more than a year in the ministry she was promoted and given more cases. Hermione had tried to reconnect with Ginny, but Ginny suspected she was only doing it under strict orders from Harry.

Ginny's family was driving her crazy as well. Even though Arthur refused to speak with her he convinced Molly that Ginny should spend more time at the house and help babysit Teddy. If Ginny was at the Burrow, she wouldn't be with Draco.

For Draco, on the other hand, things seemed to be perfect. He had taken on all the responsibilities of the head of Malfoy Industries even though Lucius was still working. Lucius was persistent on Draco taking over the company in the next two years.

Ginny tapped her pen on the table and 'hm'-ed before jotting down some notes. She flipped through some more contracts before sighing and letting her head drop to the table. "Stupid paperwork," she grumbled, "God damn, why did I take this stupid job?"

"Frustrated?" Draco asked from the living room. He was draped gracefully over one of the lazy boy chairs reading a book.

"Not really," Ginny grumbled, "I'm just so tired of doing work."

Unexpectedly the fire blazed in the fireplace and Arthur Weasley stepped into the living room.

Ginny stood up and said, "Dad, is everything ok?"

"Yes," Arthur glanced at Draco who had sat up, surprise plain on his face. Arthur looked at Ginny, "I just," he paused, "I was stupid Ginny." She looked at him questioningly and he cleared his throat before saying, "You're my daughter and you're very smart. I should have listened to you about Malfoy," Arthur stopped and corrected himself, "Draco."

Draco stood up and said, "Mr. Weasley, it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too Draco," Mr. Weasley shook Draco's hand and said, "You have a great apartment."

"Thanks," Draco said smiling.

Ginny smiled and watched Draco with her father. The two men started talking about everything from Quidditch to the ministry and even Ginny. They had talked for over an hour when Ginny glanced at her watch and said, "Um, excuse me," the men looked up at her, "I have to go to work for a few hours, ok?"

"Yeah, I'll see you when you get home," Draco kissed her gently.

Arthur smiled at Ginny and asked, "I'll see you tomorrow for lunch?"

"Yeah," Ginny hugged him and quickly flooed away.

"No, Julie, I can't look at that right now. I really need to go, I'm already late," Ginny brushed past her assistant who opened her mouth to protest, "Don't start, I'm not going to listen. I have plans with my boyfriend tonight and I'm already very late. He's quite punctual and I'm sure he's been waiting impatiently for me." She got to the fireplace and said, "Good night Julie. I'll see you on Monday," then flooed away before Julie could say anything.

She arrived at the apartment to find Draco sitting in the living room, in a suit, reading a book. "I'm so sorry I'm late," she said, kicking off her high heels and grabbing them before running into their room. "Give me five minutes and I'll be dressed.

"Work was just crazy today. I swear everyone decided that today was the day they wanted to irritate me. I yelled at Julie for an hour this morning and then locked myself in my office," Ginny sighed and started pulling her clothes off, "But anyway, how was your day?"

"My day was fine," Draco said from the doorway, "Work was quiet, lunch was good, I spent my afternoon trying to decide what tie to wear tonight," he shrugged, "It was quite uneventful."

"Where are we going for dinner?" she pulled her dress over her head and started pulling her shoes on.

"Well, we were going to La Bella, but we missed our reservation," Draco said quietly.

Ginny groaned, "Oh, Draco, I'm so sorry." She leaned her head against the closet door and said, "I can't believe I ruined the night."

"You didn't," Draco said, approaching her, "At least, not yet."

"What?" she asked.

"Ginny," before she knew what was happening he was down on his knee. She gasped and tried to form a sentence, but nothing came out, "Ginny," he repeated, "I love you more than anything in this world. I never thought I could or would fall in love let alone with a beautiful, sexy, wonderful woman like you." Ginny felt tears forming in her eyes. "You taught me what love is and I don't want to spend my life with anybody but you." He paused and pulled a small box out of his pocket. After opening it he took a deep breath and said, "Will you marry me?"

"Yes," she whispered. A smile widened across her face and she said loudly, "Yes, yes, yes!" She laughed through her tears as he slipped the ring on her finger. After a moment of gazing at it she pulled him into her arms and hugged him.

He pulled her tightly against him. A soft sigh escaped his lips and he said, "Thank you."

She pulled away from him and stared up at him, puzzled, "For what?"

"You saved my life," he said quietly.

"I did?"

"Yeah, you did," Draco said, "If I hadn't met you I would have killed Dumbledore, I would have given in to the Dark Side, I don't know what would have happened."

Ginny cupped his cheek in her hand, "You're wonderful." She kissed him gently, "Now, can we floo to Luna's place and go celebrate? Please?!"

"Of course love," Draco kissed her forehead. He pulled his tie off and unbuttoned his shirt a little and said, "Let's go."

Ginny squealed as they made their way to the living room and flooed to Luna's house.

Luna and Howard were washing their dinner dishes when Ginny and Draco arrived. "Hey you two," Luna said, drying her hands off on a towel, "What are you two doing here?"

"We wanted to know if you two would come celebrate with us," Draco asked.

"Celebrate what?" Howard asked.

Ginny smiled and held out her hand to Luna who screeched excitedly and started jumping around with Ginny. "Oh my God!" Luna exclaimed, "It's huge!"

"I know!" Ginny shrieked.

"Congratulations," Howard said, ignoring the women and shaking Draco's hand, "Would you like a drink?"

"Sure," Draco and Howard waited until the women calmed down. Ginny looked happier than she had for a while. He watched her carefully. She was wearing her favorite black dress that exposed her tan shoulders. She threw her head back and laughed at something Luna said. Her red curls bobbed and her eyes shut briefly. She bit her lower lip gently as she listened to what Luna was saying and shook her head gently before laughing again.

Draco loved everything about her; her eyes, her smile, her laugh, and her mannerisms. He loved the way she pulled her hair over one shoulder and the way that she would look over at him, the world in her eyes. In his eyes, she was the world.

Late that night Ginny rolled into Draco's arms and tangled her bare legs with his. He was laying on his back, staring up at the ceiling. After taking a deep breath, Ginny rested her head on Draco's shoulder and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I looked at a house yesterday," he said quietly.

"A house for what?" she asked.

"For us," he rolled over to face her, "For later."

"Later?"

"You know," he tucked her bangs out of her eyes, "A house for us for after we get married. It's a great house. Fourteen bedrooms, ten bathrooms, two pools, one indoor, one outdoor, and it's close to a little town outside of London. It's perfect."

"Do we need a house that big?" Ginny asked.

"Well, yeah," he shrugged, "I thought you wanted to have kids."

"I do," Ginny smiled, "But not fourteen."

"I know," Draco smiled back, "But there's a lot of space for them to run around in and a huge yard."

Ginny's smile widened into a grin, "You're planning our life together."

"I've been planning our life together since my seventh year," Draco pointed out.

"When can I see the house?" Ginny asked quietly, stifling a yawn.

"In a few days. They're still finishing some of the flooring upstairs," said Draco.

"Ok," Ginny rolled over and let him wrap his arms around her. "I should really go to sleep," she yawned again, "I have to get up early for work tomorrow. I have one trial early in the morning and two in the afternoon so I'll probably be home late tomorrow."

"That's fine," Draco said, burying his head in her neck, "I don't have to be at work until nine and then I have meetings all day. I'm meeting my mum for dinner at six."

Ginny nodded, but didn't say anything. Her eyes, which she had been forcing open for the last half hour, she finally let drift shut. Draco's body heat made the thick blankets unnecessary so they were curled together under only the silk green sheet.

Draco's breathing gently slowed and deepened, his chest rose and fell gracefully against her back. After sighing one last time Ginny finally let herself drift to sleep.
