Valentines Day
Okay here it is; probably the fluffiest cutsiest chapter in the wholeee story. I'm thinking I may just push this to a bit more than thirty chapters , and then possibly do a sequel but idk yet! Gimme feed back people! I just love reading everyone's reviews! And as we all kno, I don't own Harry Potter! (Unless some body wants 2 give me him for my birthdayyyy?) Lol jk. Enjoy! O and this may be a longggg one.
"Sit still Candy! Just sit still already!" Draco demanded of the prancing kitten.
Candy turned around to look at Draco and proceeded to pounce on every chair and cushion she could reach.
Draco stood up exasperated and dropped the pink collar he was trying to convince Candy to wear.
He walked over to the window sill and beckoned his owl; Apollo.
The majestic golden owl flew to him at once and Draco wrote down;
Dear Red Rose,
Tonight I am bringing a very lovely woman out to dinner with me. She really is something special, I write this because I am requesting that we have the booth right near the dance floor and I would like you to have my favorite champagne waiting. It means a lot if you can fill my request by seven thirty tonight. Please owl me immediately if there is any problem.
One of your most valued customers,
Draco Malfoy
He rolled the letter tightly and went upstairs to decipher what he would wear.
He pulled out a white silk shirt and black dress pants he swung a robe over his shoulders and decided this would be what he would wear.
He deposited the clothes on a nearby chair and headed up the girls stairs praying that Ginny was not there.
His prayers were answered as he found just Lila sitting at her desk writing something.
He poked in his head and cleared her throat and looked at him questioningly.
"Lila, tonight I have a plan, I need you and Ginny to pick out something gorgeous for her to wear on our date tonight okay?"
Lila smiled and nodded; "What's the plan Drake?" He shook his head motioning in it that it would be a secret. She accepted and went back to writing.
He walked down the stairs and changed into just plain jeans and an old T-Shirt.
He pulled out a chess board and found a ghost to play with. They played for about twenty minutes when Ginny came in smiling but her smile faltered when she saw that Draco was just sitting there, playing chess.
She came over and sat down and wrapped her arm around him and he turned around giving her quick brush of his lips on hers and turned back; focused; or so it seemed; on the game.
She looked at him obviously hurt and stormed up to her dorms. The ghost he was playing with looked curiously at the small smile that sat on his face. "That was harsh man, its Valentines day you know!"
Draco snorted at the ghosts behavior; "Yea thanks for the tid-bit, coming from 'Single Sam' the guy who died when his girl friend dumped him."
Sam looked at him angrily and proceeded to float out through the closest wall.
He rolled his eyes and went to prepare.
"He didn't even say anything to me Lila! I thought he had all these plans for us! It looks as though he completely forgot!"
Lila soothed her and asked; "Hey since professor Dumbledore gave all fifth years and above to go to Hogsmeade or Even Diagon Alley why don't you and I go to the boutique and buy you something drop dead gorgeous and make Draco see what he's missing!"
Ginny laughed and Lila took her by the hand and they went down to the Apparation point and ended up right in front of the store.
They headed into the store and both girls saw a long silver dress that took their breath away.
Ginny tried it on, but firstly it did not fit, and it really wasn't anything special.
They searched all over the store and found three things; The first was a short silk red dress absolutely covered in sparkles, the second; a pale pink one that had rhinestones embroidering the hem line each surrounded by sparkles, and the last one; a plain white dress with sequins lining right below the chest.
Ginny tried the first one on and didn't really feel anything special. Next, she tried on the white one and felt positively boring.
She finally slipped on the pink one and twirled and she knew she had found it.
She carefully undid the buttons, put her regular clothes on, handed the cashier the appropriate amount of money, and left; clutching the bag that her dress rested within.
Lila next dragged her into an accessory shop she didn't remember ever being there.
She walked in and Lila immediately placed a tiara on her head and did her hair up in curls with her wand.
Ginny felt like a princess and gently set the tiara down and the cashier rung it up.
They finally arrived at Hogwarts at five and Ginny jumped in the shower and by five thirty she was out and Lila was curling her hair with her wand; delicately wrapping each piece around her wand, muttering an incantation each time. She picked up the hair and gently wrapped it in a ponytail on top of Ginny's head.
She pulled on her dress and shoes, Lila slid the tiny tiara into place right in front of the curls and secured the necklace Draco had given Ginny, around her neck.
Ginny truly did look like a princess as she applied her make up.
Draco picked up the roses and chocolates shrunk them to miniature size, placing them in his jacket pocket.
He reached over to the small square box sitting on his dresser and pocketed it as well.
He headed down stairs and waited right next to the stairs just as Ginny threw on a shrug and walked down the stairs.
She hurried down, looking distraught and saw Draco standing there. She jumped into his arms admitting to his shoulder; "I thought you had forgotten."
He laughed and held his hand out to her and she willingly took it. They went down stairs to oohs and aahs and exited the castle and Ginny stopped short.
There right in front of them sat a hot air balloon where a man dressed in a Tux stood. Draco guided her towards the basket and helped her in.
With a simple motion they were in the air. She watched the lake disappear as they went higher into the sky and began to descend into a grassy landing right next to a quaint little bistro.
Ginny extended her leg out of the basket and soon her body; along with Draco followed.
They stood in front of the bistro called the Red Rose and Draco held open the door for her.
She saw that it was an enormous restaurant and a man immediately took them to a small booth where Roses and Champagne awaited them.
Ginny slid into the soft leather booth with Draco behind her. He poured them each a good amount of Champagne and they toasted their good fortune of being together.
She knew it wasn't appropriate but she placed her champagne down and just snuggled up to Draco who wrapped his arm around her.
She moved away and they just started to talk.
"So" Ginny began "What's happened to you Draco? I remember you saying to Blaise who accused you of liking me two years ago; 'ha! The day I like the short, poor, red head, I'll go crazy."
Draco remembered the moment and smiled; "I did, you know I'm crazy for you" They clinked their glasses together and she kissed him softly on the lips.
Now it was time for Draco's question; "And you? I remember those fond days of Ferret face and other lovely nick names you dubbed upon me. Why did you give me a second chance?"
She pondered the question before replying; "Because, for once I didn't see some greasy little weasel who only lived to serve his father. You showed me emotion, something I was sure you had never showed anyone else. I loved seeing that in you, and I loved that you didn't push me aside when I needed a shoulder to cry on."
He smiled and the waiter made his way over and the two ordered their entrees.
Ginny suddenly stood up and headed towards the dance floor. Oh gods she wants me to dance. I can't dance. Oh what to do???
But before he could think anything else she had spun around and pulled him onto the dance floor.
He put his hands on her back and pulled her closer to him; she latched her hands together and put them around his neck. She leaned in and smelled deeply, she wasn't sure what the scent was but it was terribly delicious.
She leaned on his shoulder and just enjoyed the moment.
The song ended and the two made it back to the booth and found their meal sitting before them.
They ate while talking and laughing and soon the waiter took the empty plates away; switching them with two silver plates of Chocolate covered strawberries.
She giggled as she looked at them and asked; "How did you know they were my favorite?"
He laughed and said; "They're your favorite? Wow. Well I thought; chocolate is heavens delicacy and strawberry because of your beautiful red hair." She smiled and fed him a strawberry.
He laughed uneasily until he was ready to tell her; "I love you Ginny Weasley, with all of my heart, I love you."
Ginny looked up her eyes brimming with glimmering tears, "I love you Draco so, so much."
They embraced and Draco assisted her out of the booth as Draco left the check on the table.
They exited the restaurant and Draco glanced at his watch; eleven ten. They had plenty of time before they had to return to school by midnight, he told her to close her eyes and she obliged as a small carriage rode up; led by two pure white horses.
She peeked her eyes open and they fluttered at the sight before her. Climbing in first; Ginny sat back against the comfortable cushions as Draco hopped in and the carriage pulled them along the long road leading to Hogwarts.
Draco slowly wrapped his arms around her and just breathed in her scent.
He pulled the miniature chocolates and candy out of his pocket and returned them to their original sizes and handed them to Ginny wordlessly who grinned at him, pecking him on the cheek.
She finally turned around and kissed him more passionately. They soon began snogging madly on the seat; only surfacing when the carriage hit a bump.
They reached the castle and the driver turned and said to the two; "Eh hm, we're here."
Draco turned away and looked up at him; "Just once around the castle please?" He handed him five galleons and the driver smiled and said; "Hey I'll throw in a spin around the lake!"
The ride finally ended so the two made it up the steps and into the common room.
But before Ginny moved, Draco wrapped his arm around her and held out the small black box.
She peered cautiously inside and grinned in exuberance; inside the box was a pair of pink dangling diamond earrings, she hooked them on and kissed Draco in thanks.
They kissed goodnight and Ginny sat down on the couch to remove her shoes as Draco headed upstairs, but as he reached his room he immediately turned around and headed back down.
Ginny looked at him questioningly and he responded; "I found Roger and uhm Lila."
He blushed and Ginny broke into a laugh; "Why don't you sleep down here?"
He nodded and took a place on the other couch and fell asleep right there.
Ginny laughed at him and walked upstairs and came back down; changed into pajamas and was carrying the blanket Draco had covered her with so long ago.
She snuggled into his arms and spread the blanket over the two of them ending the perfect Valentines Day.
