a note from me: New chapter! Things will escalate from here as Draco and Ginny try to make their relationship work and they will need help from their family members. Read on to see how they planned to do it.

As I said, I've always love for Draco and Ginny pairing to be more physical...raw passion for each other. Furthermore, their pairing/relationship have lots of intense moment because it is somehow forbidden and not something that everyone would look as "normal" due to their background and believes. So please READ AND REVIEW!!!

Draco propped himself up on his elbow and looked at the beautiful witch beside him. Her rhythmic breathing was almost enchanting as Draco stared at her. Her milky white skin was soft against his touch as he remembered the many times they made love the previous night. After the first time, she had waked him up whispering in his ear asking him to make love to her. He gladly obliged and after that they made love again on the living hall couch and then one more time in his office, on top of his work desk. He then carried her back to the bed where they immediately slept. He smiled at the thought and could almost hear every moan that escaped from her lips everytime he kissed her neck and fondled her breast.

He kissed Ginny's lips and brushed a strand of her red hair away from her face. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at him and brought her hand to his cheek caressing it lovingly. He leaned into her soft touch and brought her palm to his lips and kissed it gently.

"Good morning." He greeted her.

"Good morning." She replied. "What time is it?"

"Seven, morning." Draco answered making a mental calculation in his mind and realised that they have been in each other's arms for about 12 hours.

"I have to get back home before the girls wake up." She said in panic.

"It's a Sunday. Have breakfast with me and then you can go back." Draco said.

"Of course." She sighed and kissed him on his lips before getting up and made her way to the bathroom.

Draco lay on his bed and watched her go, clutching the duvet around her naked body. She removed it at the door of the bathroom letting it down at the foot of the door. When he heard the water running, he got up from bed and made his way to the bathroom, opened the door and revel in the sight in front of him. Her back was facing him and trails of water were spiralling down her arms, back, buttocks and legs. The steam from the shower was already fogging the mirror. He walked up to her and joined her in the shower and she giggled when he grabbed her waist possessively. She turned and they started to kiss zealously letting their hands roam each other's body. Once they were done satisfying each other and giving in to their desires, they towelled themselves dry and put on some clothes.

"That's the best pancakes I ever had." She praised after finishing a whole plate of bacon, eggs and pancakes. Throughout breakfast they could not seem to be out of each other's sight and felt the need to touch each other constantly. Before she left, they lingered at the door and she stood on tiptoes, kissing him one more time. Draco inhaled her fresh scent and kissed both her cheeks.

"Come back. I'll wait for you." He said huskily into her ear and smirked when she shivered.

She smiled at him and walked out the door. He sat on the couch determined to wait for her and he knew she would come back. He was glad she let him kissed her last night. When Draco saw her at the door, he felt that it was the most pleasant surprise he ever received. Of course, she was at his doorstep on a work assignment but he made it into something else, something more than that. He had wanted her so badly eversince he laid his eyes on her again after two years of absence. She looked, felt and tasted the same way she did two years ago.

Five years ago they did it the wrong way. They hid their secret for far too long causing a lot of pain to a lot of people. This time Draco wants to do it the right way. First, he was going to tell his mother that he was back with Ginny Weasley and he wanted her in his life. He was not going to let her stopped him like she did two years ago and he hoped that Ginny would do the same. They would both have to tell their family and friends now; no more hiding, so that they would not have to pretend.

Draco wants to hold her in his arms, holds her hand when they cross the streets and kiss her in public whenever he feels like it because he wants everyone to know that she was his and only his. He wants to be able to tell people that she was his girlfriend and that he loved her, every bit of her. He wants to share her happiness and sadness openly.

He fell asleep on the couch and was woken up by Ginny who knocked on his door almost two hours later.

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

Ginny walked down the street with a smile plastered on her face. She had not felt so happy for quite a few years. Draco had always been the one who put a smile on her face. Of course she had never thought that things would turn out the way it did. Being back in Draco's arms was more than she could ask for. It would be a total lie if she said that her heart did not beat a hundred times faster when she met him at The Connoisseur. It would also be a total lie if she said that she did not crave for his touch and presence eversince the day he came down to her office with her favourite flowers.

She had her pride to protect and if she succumbed to her desires and wants easily, she was afraid that what she had hoped for would just be a dream. She knew she was not imagining things when Draco's eyes had roamed her face and body when they first met after two years. When he appeared at her workplace with flowers in his hands, it had to mean something. She wondered if he had ever regretted his decision to give up their relationship; a relationship that they both had a fiery passion for. He had told her he loved her but why did he let her go?

She knocked on his door and waited for him to open it. Seconds later he was in front of her looking quite tired.

"I fell asleep on the couch." He said chuckling at a thought. "It's been a thing I do for quite some time." He took her hand and pulled her into the apartment then planted a kiss on her forehead. Ginny blushed at his touch.

"Draco you looked drained." She commented.

"No I'm not." He said a little too fast.

Ginny eyed him suspiciously.

"I've been working hard. That's all." He confessed. Ginny immediately knew what would be good for him.

"Hermione tells me chicken ginseng soup will revitalise your energy. I'll make that for you."

"Chicken what?"

"Chicken ginseng soup. She learned it in med school. There was a module on Muggle Medicine. She was sharing it with me when she was learning it a few years ago. I'll go get the ingredients from a muggle store." She was about to turn and leave when Draco stopped her.

"Gin, later. There's something I want to talk to you about." He said. He looked at her with serious eyes so she sat down on the couch next to him.

"What is it?" She asked, her eyebrow furrowed in concern.

"Gin, I want us to do it right this time. I'm going to tell mother that you're back in my life and that she is not going to stop me from being with you." He started. When her eyes opened wide in surprise, he was quick to assure her that it would work this time around because he was not going to give up.

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

Draco took her hands and kissed them. He could see that she was afraid of what he had just told her.

"I'm not giving up this time Gin. I didn't get the chance to tell you how sorry I am for letting you go two years ago. So now I'm making it up to you because you deserve more than how I treated you."

When she remained silent, Draco continued. He caressed her right cheek, placing his palm and cupped it so that she would face him. "Ginny Weasley, I love you. I hope you know that. I always have. I was wrong to give up on us and I'm sorry for that."

"I love you too." She said her voice soft. He sighed when he heard those words because he had not heard it for far too long. He leaned in and kissed her lips and felt her shiver against his touch. He took her right hand in his and looked at her eyes when they parted. He reached out for the piece of jewellery in his back pocket and dangled it in front of her eyes. The arms of the Malfoy glittered against the sun.

"I want you to have this back." He said and clasped the bracelet on her wrist. He saw tears glistening in her eyes and when it rolled down her cheeks, he wiped them away with his thumb. He kissed her again craving for the passion they shared the previous night.

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

Ginny lay in his arms on his bed listening to his heartbeat that was soothing to her ears. He looked really tired. She got up from the bed slowly and wrote a note telling him that she would be out getting ingredients for the soup. She kissed his cheek and he did not stir remaining as still as a log.

She quickly made her way to Diagon Alley and made her way out to the muggle street from Leaky Cauldron. She made sure to move quickly hoping that she would be back in his apartment before he wakes up.

"Rushing somewhere Gin?"

Ginny screeched when she heard the voice and was startled when she turned around and saw Hermione who had her arms folded in front of her and smile on her face.

"Hermione you scare me. Don't do that ever again!"

"What are you doing here?" She whispered urgently. "In a muggle market." She added.

"Buying things." She replied showing her the bags in her hands.

"What would you need here?"

"What are you doing here?" Ginny asked back hoping to change the focus to Hermione instead.

"You're changing the subject. I'm a muggle, you're not. So it won't be at all unusual if I want to shop here."

Ginny squeezed her eyes shut and was hoping that this was not happening. She knew that there was no way that she could hide it away from Hermione. She would somehow find out sooner or later.

"Alright, alright. I'll tell you. Let's just go back to Diagon Alley first." Ginny said. So they made their way to Leaky Cauldron and took a sit on one of the corner booths.

"So?" Hermione asked impatiently. Ginny rolled her eyes and in one swift movement she showed Hermione her wrist. Hermione gasped when she saw the Malfoy heirloom clinging on Ginny's wrist.

"But you gave it back to him."

"And he gave it back to me." Ginny said hoping that Hermione would start to catch the drift.

Hermione gasped again, covering her mouth with her right hand. "You're back together." She whispered. Ginny nodded her head and Hermione gasped again. "How? When?"

"Last night."

"Merlin! Really?" Hermione looked lost and she seemed like she did not know what to say. So she grabbed the mug of Butterbeer in front of her and gulped it down.

"Are you ok? Hermione you got to help me and keep this a secret first. We will both be telling our parents. His first."

Hermione nodded her head. "Ok. Just do it right this time." She advised then added, "I'm happy for you Gin…you're glowing."

Ginny nodded enthusiastically. "I am happy."

"I'm happy too!" A voice said.

Ginny turned around and saw the tall figure of a man who had bright brown eyes and his dark hair was now shorter. His lips were stretched into a smile and he winked at Ginny when she too smiled at him.

"Terry!" Ginny exclaimed and got up to give him a hug. Terry spun Ginny around causing her to laugh in delight. When he put her down, he kissed her on both cheeks and went over to Hermione and shook her hand. He sat down beside Ginny and ordered a mug of Butterbeer.

Terry Boot had been in the Dumbledore's Army when they were back in Hogwarts and during the Death Eaters' reign of the school, Terry, Ginny, Neville and the rest of them who had been loyal to Harry had fought and stood up over the Death Eaters. In one incident, Terry was physically punished by the Carrows when shouting an announcement about the Golden Trio's success of breaking in into Gringotts. During those hard times, they had all been close friends sharing a common interest to bring down the Death Eaters. They remained friends even after Hogwarts occasionally writing to each other especially when Terry moved to Switzerland to study to be a Healer.

"So, what are you doing here? I thought you should be in Switzerland." Ginny said.

"I'm taking a break."

"But why?" Hermione asked.

"I am not sure if this is what I really want to do Hermione."

"Terry you're almost there. Just one more year I believe."

Terry shook his head and sighed. "I don't know. I really don't know. Which is why I'm back here because it'll make me think on what I need to do about this situation."

"I like your new hair." Ginny said changing the subject when she saw him upset.

"Really?" He asked suddenly a smile on his face.

"It's refreshing. You look handsome now."

"What? You mean I wasn't before this?" Terry said pouting his lips as if he was disappointed.

"No…oh you know what I mean Terry."

Terry chuckled and put his arms on Ginny's shoulders. "I miss you."

"I miss you too…you stopped writing. Not me."

"I'm sorry about that." Terry apologized.

"I think I should go now. I'm having lunch with your brother and Harry." Hermione said interrupting and bursting the bubble that had formed around Terry and Ginny.

"Oh of course…and please remember about the favour I ask of you."

"You can count on me." Hermione said. "See you around Terry."

Terry nodded his head and turned back to Ginny. "What have you been up to?"

"Nothing much." Ginny said but silently thought about the amazing night she had with Draco. "Hey I actually need to rush some where. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow for lunch?"

"Gin you ditching me already?" Terry kidded.

Ginny swatted his right arm and got up from her seat. "I'll see you tomorrow." She reiterated.

Terry chuckled and nodded his head. "Alright, alright. Tomorrow."

Ginny went out of the Leaky Cauldron and quickly made her way to Sachway Alley.

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

It was about six in the evening and Draco waited patiently for Ginny to arrive. As soon as he heard the knock on the door, he opened it and kissed her on her lips.

"You ready?" Draco asked.

Ginny nodded her head and Draco could see that she was trying to stay calmed. Draco took her hand and squeezed it lightly.

"I'm ok." She said.

They both had decided to tell his mother as soon as possible knowing that if they delay they might be too afraid. But they were both adults now and they knew that this was the most responsible thing to do.

They apparated to Wiltshire and as they walked down the path towards the Malfoy Manor, Ginny held on to his arm tightly. Draco led her towards the wrought iron gate and down the lighted path. An elaborate fountain was seen a few metres away from the main entrance door. It set a calming atmosphere as birds sang in the trees surrounding the manor. The door immediately opened as soon as they both stood on the steps leading to it.

"Lindy please called Madam for me. Tell her we're here."

"Yes sir Master Malfoy. Lindy will do immediately." The House Elf apparated on the spot where it was.

Draco turned to Ginny and took her hand. "Hey, you ok?" Draco asked softly.

"I'm just trying to compose myself. I'm a little nervous." She replied.

"It's going to be fine." Draco tucked lose strands of hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead.

"Well well…"

They both looked up and saw Narcissa walking down the winding stairs. She was holding on to a copy of the Icon magazine with Draco on the cover.

"He has definitely become a man of his own realising an ambition he had carved when he was an adolescent. Draco is the man to look out for this year. He could very well be in our Bachelor Edition in December. By Ginny Weasley." Narcissa brought the magazine down and carefully placed it on Lindy's opened hands. The House Elf bowed and walked away. Draco took a sharp breath when his mother walked towards them.

"I suspect that this would be what you want to talk to me about." She said sharply then looked at him and then at Ginny.

"Good evening Mrs Malfoy." Ginny greeted and Draco's heart soared. He brought his chin up a little to face his mother upon hearing the bravery in his girlfriend's voice.

His mother ignored Ginny and looked at him. "Speak Draco."

"Mother, you can't stop me now. I'm an adult and I'm allowed my own decisions." Draco started. His mother started to walk away and he followed.

"Stay here. Lindy! Please bring Miss Weasley to the guest room." He ordered.

"Draco," Ginny started.

"Gin, I'll talk to her first. I'll come and get you." Draco cupped her face and gave her lips a quick kiss and dashed towards his mother. She was standing at the far end of the huge living hall. Her face was half covered by the shadows of the heavy dark green velvet curtains.

"Why Draco?" She asked. "We've went through this before. What made you think that I will change my mind?"

"Because I know that deep inside you know that only she can make me happy. Mother you have never seen us together. If you, just once see how much we care about each other we can all move past all those unnecessary history. Mother I really love her. We both love each other and it is too strong to ignore." Draco pleaded.

His mother did not say anything. She was silent and Draco was unable to see the look on her face, to know what she was thinking about. Then she sighed and turned to face him. She looked sombre almost defeated.

"Draco, you're my only son and I want you to be happy. You never know this but since that day when I disallow you to see that girl, I felt guilty. I keep asking myself why I did that to you. I've seen your eyes casting hatred towards me."

"Mother," Draco started.

"Do not interrupt me Draco! I know alright? I know and you don't have to deny it. You hated me for stopping you from seeing her. I couldn't understand it. I did what I did partly because you kept it as a secret from me for three years!" She said and walked over to the couch and sat down on its luxurious cushion. She started to bite her fingernails.

"I was scared too. Scared of losing you. Eversince your father died, you're all I have. I know I am being unfair Draco. You're right. When I saw the despair in your eyes, I realise how much that girl means to you and I was the cause of that lost look in your eyes you had for years…and I'm sorry."

Draco almost sighed with relief but he was careful and walked nearer to his mother. He bends down on his knees and took her hands in his. "Mother," he started and she turned to him with tears brimming in her eyes. "I just want you to give us a chance. No one had ever made me so happy like Ginny Weasley. When we were in Hogwarts, no one opened up to me like she did. She made me feel normal. The Mark on my arm has never bothered her a bit. She looked at me through all that and sees me as Draco and I love her so much for that. She sees me for who I am and not for the things that I had done like most people."

His mother smiled at him and nodded his head. "Ok…ok. I can see the light now Draco. It's back in your eyes. She's important to you isn't she?"

Draco nodded his head earnestly.

"Then bring her in. I'll try to be a good mother and I won't judge. I promise."

Draco kissed his mother on her forehead. "Thank you so much. I love you." He quickly got up on his feet and prepare to re-introduce his girlfriend to his mother.
