Saturday November 19

Ginny awoke with a jump start on the morning of her next date with Draco. She had an early start for two reasons; out of excitement and also having no patients for her nosy roommates this early in the morning. She planned on getting ready quickly to be able to beat them to the Great Hall and hopefully avoid their nagging questions. After her shower she picked out a pair of dark washed jeans and a cream, orange, and pink argyle cardigan to wear over a pink tank top. She styled her hair so it flowed down in soft curls landing just below her breasts and put on just a small amount of eye liner and mascara to be able to accent her brown eyes. She did a once over in the mirror before grabbing her bag and heading down to the Great Hall for a quick breakfast before meeting Draco.

When she got to the Great Hall, she realized how excited she really was and decided she was to eager to eat, so she just waited outside of the Great Hall for Draco. It seemed he was also excited for their date to start for he arrived just minutes after she did.

"Hello beautiful," he said with the smile that just made Ginny swoon for him every time she saw it. He lowered his lips to hers and gave her a soft kiss that made Ginny's heart melt even more. "Are you ready to go?"

"Definitely."

They headed to the carriages and hopped into the first one they saw. The arrived at the village five minutes later and started to walk around with no purpose just holding hands and enjoying each others silent company.

"So, what do you want to do first?" Draco asked after about 20 minutes of wondering around.

"How about we go to Honeydukes."

"Sure."

When they got to Honeydukes, Draco looked in the window and saw Pansy buying pounds and pounds of candy. The last thing Draco wanted to do was deal with that insolent girl. She may be a seventh year, but he knew she had the maturity level of a seven year old. For all Draco knew she would start making a scene in the middle of the store and tell everyone that Draco was cheating on her. The last thing he wanted was for that to happen, especially in front of Ginny. When Ginny reached for the door, Draco grabbed her hand to prevent her from going in.

"What are you doing?" Ginny said, half laughing.

"Oh…um…I just thought that…you might want to save the joy of Honeydukes for later."

"I don't want to save the joy," Ginny said mockingly, "I need to pick up candy so I can cheer myself up."

"Why?"

"Because I need to talk to Fred about something and I think some Berry Botts and Chocolate Frogs will help my nerves."

"Are you going to tell him about me?"

"Well I do, but I actually have to talk to him about something else. Now, I need to get my candy, so if you don't mind…MOVE!" Ginny pushed Draco to the side, almost knocking him to the ground. She walked into Honeydukes and Draco slowly followed her. Ginny walked over to the Berry Botts shelf and started loading a bag with beans. Draco stood close to Ginny and would whisper things in her ear as she picked out her candy. Draco glanced around the shop looking for Pansy. But after looking around the shop three times, he realized Pansy had already left. Draco sighed in relief; he had avoided a confrontation today. After Ginny got her candy, Draco and Ginny headed for Fred and George's joke shop. But when they got to the door, she stopped Draco.

"I think I should talk to Fred alone. I'm not sure if he wants you to know what we are going to talk about."

"Ok, that's fine, if you need me I will be in the Quidditch Shop." He kissed her on the cheek and disappeared around the corner. Ginny took a deep breath and walked into the shop. She walked through the store and over to Michelle.

"Hey, Michelle, where is Fred?"

"He's a little busy Ginny but…."

"Where is he Michelle?" Demanded Ginny.

"He's upstairs in the apartment, but he's busy." But Ginny didn't care, she stormed up the back stairs and loudly knocked on the door. "Fred!" Ginny yelled, "Fred, I know your in there, let me in." The door opened a little. All you saw was Fred's head, his hair all messy.

"Hey Ginny, I'm a little busy…."

"I know about you and Hermione."

"How?"

"Your letters. I found them over the summer."

"Oh…um…" Ginny pushed open the door and pushed through Fred. Now that she had a full body view of Fred, she realized all Fred was wearing was a T-shirt and a pair of boxers. 'Ew,' thought Ginny, 'this is a sight I never wanted to see.'

"Where is she?" asked Ginny. Fred pointed to the coat closet. Ginny walked over to the closet and opened the door. In the closet were some pants, shirts, and a medium height brunette in a pair of jeans and a lacy pink bra.

"Hello Hermione." Ginny said with a big fake grin on her face.

"Hey Ginny." Hermione said embarrassed.

"Get out of the closet." Said Ginny. Hermione walked out of the closet, picked up her shirt, and put it back on. She then walked over and stood next to Fred.

"Ok, I have a couple of questions."

"Ginny…" started Hermione.

"Now," interrupted Ginny, "My first question is how the hell did this happen!"

"Well," started Hermione, "It was last Easter vacation. I had gone to Diagon Ally to get some school supplies. After I had bought everything I decided to stop in the joke shop and say hi to the twins. When I got to the store, it was closed and when I looked in the window all I saw was Fred stocking shelves. I knocked on the door to say hi and he came over and let me in. When I asked where George was, Fred told me he was at the other store in Hogsmade. So we talked, which led to flirting, which led to touching, which led to kissing, which led to…"

"Did you even go upstairs or just do it on the floor?"

"No, Gin, we went upstairs." said Fred, "After, when Hermione was getting ready to leave, we said it would be a one time thing. But a week later I wrote a letter to Hermione saying I couldn't stop thinking about her and I now would be living in Hogsmade on the weekends. She replied back that she felt the same way and wanted to keep what we had going. So we would meet up and get together every time she had a Hogsmade visit."

"Ok." Said Ginny, "Now that that's all cleared up, just one more question. What the hell were you two thinking? I mean Ron was the boyfriend at the time and Ron is your brother Fred. How could you do something like that to someone you are both so close to?"

"Ginny, he was not mad when I told him." Said Hermione.

"What!" said Fred, "You told Ron."

"I had to. I felt so guilty and he told me his secret."

"Wait, what secret?"

"But Hermione that's not the point," said Ginny, "First of all, his confession wasn't as bad as yours…"

"What confession?"

"Second, Ron was probably only being polite because of what he told you…"

"What did he tell you?"

"And Third, Ron probably didn't want to upset you more then he already had."

"HEY!" yelled Fred, "Why did Ron upset you and what was his confession?"

"Ron's gay Fred." Said Ginny.

"He's what?" said Fred, with wide eyes.

"He's gay." Ginny said slowly, "And dating Blaise Zabini."

"What….um…uh…"

"Hold that thought." Said Hermione, "Ginny I know it was wrong, but I love Fred, I didn't love Ron."

"So why didn't you break up with Ron then?" asked Ginny.

"I couldn't. I thought if I were more of a friend then a girlfriend, he would break up with me so I wouldn't have to break up with him. I didn't have the nerve or the heart."

"Yah but…"

"Ginny, its not like I don't care about Ron, but I wasn't in love with Ron like I am with Fred."

"Do you know what you did was wrong?"

"Yes."

"Are you happy?"

"Yes."

"Ok."

"Really?"

"Yes. All I want is for you to be happy. I just need to know how this happened, that's all. Now that I know and I can just see how happy you are, I am so excited that you two are in love."

"Good." Hermione said while giving Ginny a hug.

"Hey," said Ginny, "Where did Fred go?"

Fred did not stop walking. He was on a mission and would not stop until he found what he was looking for. When Ginny told him about Ron something in his head just went off. He didn't even stick around to see how things ended with Ginny. He just grabbed his pants and shoes and left without even saying a word to the girls. When he tuned the corner, he saw who he was looking for. Blaise was right outside the Three Broomsticks, obviously waiting for someone.

"Hi," said Fred, "Blaise Zabini, right?"

"Yeah," said Blaise, "Your Fred Weasley. I love your joke shop."

"Thanks. Can I talk to you privately for a second?"

"Actually I'm meeting someone here."

"I think my brother can wait."

"You know?"

"Can I talk to you over here?"

"Sure." Blaise and Fred walked into the abandoned ally behind the bar. When no one was in sight, Fred pushed Blaise up against the wall, grabbed his shirt and kept him pinned.

"HEY!" yelled Blaise.

"What the hell did you do to my brother?"

"What are you talking about?"

"My brother, you turned him gay."

"No I…"

"Why?"

"I didn't. It doesn't work like that. Besides Ron told me he admitted it to himself over the summer."

"What?"

"Well that's what he told me. Now will you please let me go?"

"Okay." Fred said. Letting Blaise go and taking a more relaxed stance.

"Can I say one thing before you leave?"

"Go ahead."

"Ron is still the brother you have known forever. He still loves to eat, play quidditch, and procrastinate his homework. The only difference is that he likes me and not Hermione. Please don't treat him any differently."

"I won't. I still love him. I guess it was just shock. Thank you." Fred said before returning back to his store.

Ron was at the corner table at the Three Broomsticks. He was supposed to meet Blaise 15 minutes ago. He was freaking out that he had not shown up yet. All he could think about was that he had just gotten stood up. He had actually believed that Blaise had liked him. But he was starting to believe that he was actually wrong. He started to feel so pathetic. But just as Ron was about to leave, Blaise was walking into the Three Broomsticks. He went over to Ron, sat next to him, and gave him a small kiss.

"Hey." Said Ron.

"Hey." Said Blaise, coldly and shocked.

"Is something wrong?"

"Your family's nuts!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Your Brother attacked me!"

"What?"

"He shoved me and pinned me to a wall."

"Which one?"

"Fred."

"What! Why?"

"Because your dating me! He said I turned you gay."

"What? That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard."

"I mean after I explained things to him he seemed to calm down. He even promised me that he was fine with it all. It's just…"

"What?"

"I don't know if I can do this."

"Do what?"

"Be with a person who is so close to his family. I mean myparentsaredeatheatersand …."

"Blaise. Breathe. I promise my family won't interfere any more. If it will make you feel any better I will go talk to Fred."

"Yes it would."

"Ok. I'll go talk to him. How about we meet at Honeydukes in one hour?"

"Ok." Ron got up and gave Blaise a goodbye kiss and then disappeared through the doors.

Ron didn't really want to confront his brother, but he had no other choice. Fred had almost just ruined a relationship with a guy he really liked. Every step he got closer to Fred's, and every step he got madder at him. He knew he was doing the right thing confronting Fred; it was something he had to do. When Ron got to the store, he didn't even bother asking Michelle where he was, he just walked up to Fred's apartment and knocked on the door.

"Michelle!" came Fred's loud voice, "Can't I have five frickin' minutes without s problem I… oh hey Ron."

"Hey Fred, can I come in?" Ron asked coldly.

"I'm kind of busy."

"Don't worry I won't lust after Hermione, I'm gay."

"Ok, fine." Fred opened the door and let Ron in. "It's ok Hermione, it's just Ron. So what's up?" Asked Fred as Hermione, fully dressed, came out of the bedroom and stood next to Fred.

"Look Ron if this is about Fred and I, don't worry Ginny already yelled at us earlier."

"Like I said on Tuesday, I don't have a problem with you two being together. What I do have a problem with is my boyfriend being attacked."

"What are you talking about?" asked Hermione.

"Ask Fred." Both Ron and Hermione looked at Fred.

"Well?" said Hermione, "What is he talking about?"

"Well, I may have, talked to Blaise about his relationship with Ron."

"You shoved him, pinned him to a wall, and yelled at him for turning me gay."

"What?" yelled Hermione.

"I had just found out that you were gay from Ginny and I needed to vent."

"And you took it out on my boyfriend?"

"Yes."

"Fred, because of you he almost dumped me."

"Oh."

"How would you like it if I attacked Hermione and she almost broke up with you?"

"I guess…"

"You know Ron," said Hermione, "I'm surprised you're wasting your time on this when you could be yelling at Malfoy for dating Ginny."

"What?" said Fred, "Ginny's dating Malfoy?"

"No Fred, I'm going to attack this boyfriend."

"Fine." Said Fred sounding disappointed. Ron ran out the door and outside to find Malfoy. "So where were we?" he asked Hermione with a seductive smile. But Hermione placed her hand on his chest keeping him at arms length.

"Stop going after your siblings significant others. Its just not right."

"What's the big deal?"

"The big deal is that I do not want to see them loosen ties with you because of you attacking people that they really care about. Besides, we did much worse to some of them.
It would be unfair and hypocritical for us to judge them."

"Your right," Fred answered seriously, "I promise I won't anymore. As long as you promise to love me forever."

"I promised you that a long time ago babe."

Draco was standing in line at the cloak shop. He had been wondering around for a while now. He had a few errands to run without Ginny, so it was very lucky she had needed to do some stuff on her own too. This was his last one and he was anxious to leave and go find Ginny. It was so far a bad date since they had barely spent any time together and they would soon have to return to the castle. But he was already formulating plans on how to rectify that over the week. As he left the shop he noticed a red faced Ron Weasley heading straight toward him. Right now, the last thing he wanted was to deal with him. All he wanted was to get back to Ginny.

"Malfoy!" yelled Ron, "What the fuck do you think your doing with my little sister?"

"Oh I don't know," said Malfoy mockingly, "Dating her, snogging her, the same things your doing with Blaise, my best friend."

"That's different."

"How?"

"Well first Blaise didn't manipulate me…"

"I didn't manipulate her."

"Well he didn't put me on a love potion…."

"I didn't use a love potion."

"Then how in hell are you two dating?"

"I sent her a nice gift, wrote her some letters for a week and then asked her to meet me. I then gave her a choice to trust I liked her and go on a date with me or to walk away. It looks like she did trust me."

"That's impossible."

"No it's not. What's also possible is me telling Blaise, aka my best friend, aka your boyfriend, that you yelled at me in public and that you didn't trust his best friend. I don't think that would help your relationship."

Ron was silent for a few seconds, then turned on his heels and left, giving Draco the satisfaction of beating the Weasel. As he wondered around the village looking for Ginny, he tried to ignore his thoughts, since most of them were about only one thing. And that one thing scared him the most. But he pushed them aside for now. When he found Ginny, she walked up to him with a big smile on her face and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Draco how did you end up here?"

"Oh, you know after being yelled at by your brother, I thought a walk would stop me from hunting him down and cursing him."

"Wait, Ron what?"

"Oh yeah, he cornered me coming out of a store and accused me of manipulating you."

"What?"

"Oh and he also accused me of slipping you a love potion, which I didn't."

"Are you kidding?"

"No."

"Ron." Ginny said angrily. She quickly turned around and headed in the opposite direction, but Draco stopped her.

"What are you doing?" asked Draco.

""I'm going to yell at Ron."

"Why?"

"Because he yelled at you."

"No Ginny."

"Why not?"

"Because how is it going to look if my girlfriend fights my battles?"

"Girlfriend?"

"What?" Draco asked confused.

"You just called me your girlfriend. Is that what you see me as? Your girlfriend?"

"Well yeah. I am sorry if I said anything to early, but it's true. I would like to think of you as a girlfriend. Do you think of me as a boyfriend?"

"Well actually, yeah I do." Ginny said with a big smile. "So, is this really happening?"

"Yes it is," Draco said with an equally big smile, "And since I am a gentleman I will ask you in the proper way."

"Okay." Ginny said with a giggle.

"Ginny Weasley, will you be my girlfriend."

"Yes."
