Chapter 8: Is it that simple?
That night Ginny thought that it would be impossible to even be in the same house as Harry, so for the first time in five years Ginny slept in her old room at the Burrow. So that is where she is now in the early hours of the morning, lying in her bed with the same dress as the night before and she barely got any sleep.
The previous night when her mum opened the door for her she was shocked to see her Ginny crying on a day of what should've been happy for her. She asked so many questions as to what could've happened but Ginny told her she'll know when the time comes. Mrs. Weasley left it that and so her daughter went upstairs.
As Ginny lay in her bed she heard her mum called from downstairs, "Ginny come down, breakfast is ready!"
"No!" Ginny yelled back. Even though she knew she sounded childish she is not going downstairs to face her parents.
After about five minutes she heard footsteps coming closer to her bedroom and then the door creaked opened, "Ginny, honey, come on I am made your favorite: pancakes with strawberries and whipping cream." A/N: I don't know if they even have that food in the wizarding world, but that's my favorite, so work with me here.
Ginny didn't answer her she just turned her head in the other direction.
Mrs. Weasely felt like crying because her daughter is in pain, so she just walked towards the bed and sat on the edge, "Come on dear. Please tell me what happened."
Ginny sobbed but she lifted herself up any ways and looked at her mother, "Harry proposed to me last night and I said no."
She waited for any reaction from her mother but there was none. If her mother did answer her she would thought that she'll yell at her, but it was quite the opposite, "Why didn't you accept his proposal?"
Ginny started to battle with her self, 'should I tell her? Would if she's disappointed at me when she finds out? Oh well here it goes.' "Because I don't love him anymore mum."
Her mother had a confused look and said, "But you can't just fall out of love---"
But she got interrupted, "Well I did. I am sorry about this. I know how much you wanted Harry to be apart of the family, but it's not my fault he waited so long to propose."
There was silence then her mum spoke, "What are you going to do now?"
Ginny sighed and replied, "I'll be okay. I know things would be different between Harry and I, but don't worry about me mum, okay?"
Her mum nodded and they embraced each other. It was a nice moment between mum and daughter. They pulled apart and Ginny said, "There is somewhere I have to be now, I'll see you soon."
"Alright. Ginny just to let you know, you are always welcome here and this bedroom will be waiting for you and you will always be my little girl and I am sure you are making the right decisions," by now her mum had tears in her eyes and so did Ginny.
Ginny smiled and hugged her again and Apparated back home. Once in her bedroom that she shares with her almost fiancé she took a quick shower, dried off, and put on a denim skirt, a blue shirt, and platforms. After she fixed her hair and put some make up on she Apparated to Hogsmeade and hope to see a certain someone.

Ginny was outside of Dragon but she noticed that the doors where blocked. 'Damn it!' She thought, 'I really need to see him.' She looked through the windows and noticed a bunch of men in there waving their wands and looking at a lot of papers. There was new furniture being moved around, the small tables were being replaced by big ones that can fit around six people. There was also salt, paper, and napkins on each table. 'Oh wow. He is changing the place,' she thought again.
At the corner of her eye she saw the door open and two men are speaking; one with black hair and one with blonde hair. Ginny gasped, but covered her mouth with her hand, because she didn't want to interrupt, but she was noticed by the blonde man and then she was met with a pair of icy blue eyes looking right her.
The man behind the blonde man spoke, "Uh sir, Mr. Malfoy what about---"
"Not now Mike," replied Draco.
He advanced on Ginny but Ginny spoke, "Sorry I-I came at a bad time," she started to walk away but she felt a hand on her wrist.
"No wait. I am glad you came."
Ginny turned around and looked at the man holding her wrist, "You are?"
Draco nodded and said, "Come on, I'll give you a tour. Well I know you've been here before, but there are a few changes, and I want to show them to you."
Ginny smiled and said, "Okay."
Draco smiled and grabbed her hand. Ginny loved the warm feeling of his big, strong hand in her small one. They went through the doors and looked around. The fireplace was the same and the painting of the Norwegian Ridgeback is still on the ceiling. Draco took a menu from one of the tables and showed it too Ginny.
"Here's the menu. What do you think?"
Ginny looked at it and was surprised at the variety of foods. There were salads, pastas, steak, and hamburgers.
"You know what a hamburger is?" She asked surprised.
"Yeah I have a pub in muggle London, remember? And there are a lot of restaurants there with hamburgers, I tried one, and I thought this would be good to put on the menu. So what do you think?" he asked excitedly.
Ginny smiled and put the menu back on the table, "I think it's brilliant."
There was a long pause and all they were doing was looking at each other's eyes.
Of course Draco broke the silence as always, "So why exactly did you come by? Not that I don't want to see you I did, well first I want to apologize for the way I acted after—he cleared his throat—well after what happened and now I regret for the way I treated you-"
But then he got interrupted, "Its okay, really. You were angry and I understand, but Draco I have to say something: Harry proposed to me."
There was another long pause and he spoke again, "Oh well congratulations. I am sure you said yes---"
Ginny stomped her foot which shut him up and looked at her confused, "Draco! Would you let me finish? I didn't accept his proposal."
All of a sudden Draco couldn't breathe and had so many thoughts but decided to let them out, "You didn't, but why? What could have possibly made you say no---"
But he got interrupted again by a pair of warm soft lips that he missed so much. This kiss was soft and sweet, no tongue involved. Ginny caressed his neck with her hand and pulled apart slowly, "That's why I said no. Draco I am in love you. I don't want to be with Harry, I want to be with you."
Inside Draco was screaming for joy. The girl of his dreams is with him, wrapped around his arms and not boy wonder's. He looked around and surprisingly the workers weren't around, "Come on let's get out of here." But before they left he called for his owl, which was a black one named Night. He wrote a letter, copied it with a spell and ended up having several ones. He also had several paychecks for the workers with him. Then he tied them to Night's leg and told him the specific area and flew out of the window. "Hold on to my hand and close you eyes." Ginny did as she was told and felt the familiar sensation of Apparition and felt the ground a second later. She opened her eyes and they were in a beautiful garden.
"Where are we?" She asked, looking around.
"In my garden, let's sit over here." Draco led them to a little bench by a fountain and they sat.
"Ginny I am glad you came and told me what happened and one more thing I have to say: I love you too," and then he looked at her.
She had the biggest smile on her face and wrapped her arms around his neck, then Ginny heard, "But---"
Ginny pulled apart immediately, "But what? Draco but what? We just confessed our feelings to each other. We should be happy and be together."
Draco raised his hands and put them on each side of her face and replied, "Gin there's nothing more than I want, then what you just suggested, but it's not that simple. Look at our families. They hate each other, and no offense but I don't want to face your six brothers, plus your parents, and Potter for that matter."
Draco lowered his hands to his laps. Ginny sighed but said, "Draco, not to be rude or anything, but you're the only left in your family and what's the problem? We are both purebloods, the Malfoy line will carry on."
Draco narrowed hi eyes at the part where she said he is the only one left, because that left a pain in his chest for the realization.
There was another long pause and Ginny said, "I am sorry Draco, if what I said hit a nerve, but why do I get the impression that you are making up any excuse to not be with me? If you love me, then you shouldn't care if I am a Weasley."
Draco thought long and hard about what she said and realized she is right, "You're right. I don't really care if you are a Weasley, but I really don't think your parents and brothers will welcome me in your family. They know how I treated your family over the years."
Ginny sighed again and thought about what he said. Then finally spoke, "Draco, I'll deal with my family. Don't worry about them. With time, I am sure they will accept you."
"What about Potter?"
Now Ginny had a worry look in his eyes, 'Oh no. He's right. I will still see Harry often at the Burrow, and where do I live? I think I have to move back to the Burrow for awhile, and when Harry finds out that I cheated on him with Draco, there is going to be hell.'
Ginny snapped out of her thoughts when she thought she saw something pass in front of her eyes, "Hello, Gin?" Draco has been trying to get her attention for the past few minutes by waving his hand in front of her.
"What? Oh sorry. Um, again don't worry about Harry, I'll deal with him. He is just going to accept the fact that I don't belong to him any more. I belong to you."
Draco smirked and thought, 'That sounds good to me.'
Draco moved forward and captured her lips again in a sizzling kiss. They were finally together and nothing will tear them apart, but there is still an angry man with raven hair, green eyes, a famous scar, and glasses still pondering at what happened the night before and talking to his best friend.

A/N: Well there's chapter 8! I hope that wasn't too bad of a cliff hanger and I'll update real soon. I can't believe at how fast I am updating even with summer school. I think it's because I only have school two days a week so it's not that big of a deal. Please review, thanks in advance!
