A/N Okay, you guys, are you ready? This is the chapter everyone has been waiting on. Romance :) Well, the start of some anyhow.

As the carriage neared Malfoy Manor, Draco noticed that Ginny was fast asleep at his side. He allowed a light smile and shook his head. What was happening to him? Why was he suddenly…

Ginny was getting too close… He couldn't let her see what was really deep inside him. She was not supposed to make him weak… It was supposed to be quite the opposite in fact. He was supposed to get her to trust him, and then once they were married…

He shook his head. She trusted him now. Why wasn't he taking this opportunity to convince her to marry him? They had referred to each other as fiancée's on more than one occasion, and she had accepted the ring, but no date had been set…

Ginny stirred, tilting her head against his chest. She nuzzled against him, and yawned. A bump on a rock made Ginny wake up. She looked around, and caught Draco staring at her. "Is there something on my face?" she asked softly, rubbing her eyes.

Draco shook his head, more to get himself out of his trance than to say no to her. "No. I just… It's time to get up. Come on."

He stood up harshly, causing her head to hit the cushion he had been sitting on.

"Ow…" she said, light enough that he couldn't hear her. She slid out of the carriage, and was a little surprised that Draco wasn't there to catch her so she wouldn't fall.

Luckily enough, she didn't fall this time, but she very well may have!

"Is something wrong?" she asked, walking faster than usual to catch up with him.

He said nothing, and continued to walk along his way.

"Draco, please…"

He held a hand out to touch her cheek, stopping faster than Ginny could have anticipated.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine. I'm just going to go into my room and take a nap. Why don't you take one of the catalogues in the living room and get yourself some new dresses, eh?"

Ginny sighed and nodded, leaning her cheek into his hand.

What was wrong with him lately? He didn't need to be mean to her like that… It wasn't her fault that things weren't going as quickly as his parents were anticipating… He was starting to actually like her, and that was what was making him so nervous…

He sighed and looked into the mirror once more. "What's up your arse, eh Malfoy? Why do you push everyone away?"

A gentle tap at the door startled him. He shook his head and waved at the door. "Come on in."

Ginny's little head poked in the door and she just looked at him.

"I said you may come in. Not just the head. Your whole body is just as welcome."

Ginny smiled and walked in, sitting on the bed, resting her head against the headboard.

"I just wanted to talk to you…"

He sat beside her and raised an eyebrow. "What about? Anything in particular?"

She nodded. "I don't want to look for flats anymore. I think… I think a deal is a deal."

Draco's eyes went very wide. Could it be?

"What do you mean? A deal is a deal?"

"Well, your parents made a deal with mine and… I'm supposed to marry you. I think I'll just… Stop being such a big baby… I'll marry you. That is, if you'll have me."

With both hands, Draco took Ginny's face and pulled her lips into his, more full of excitement than passion.

"You have no idea what this means! 100 trillion galleons!"

Ginny was suddenly full of confusion. The kiss had scrambled her brains, but so had the words.

"…What? What do you mean?"

"My grandfather died when I was eight. If I married a pureblood, I was to inherit all of his estate! All of that money is mine!"

He looked at her blank face and shook his head. "Well, it's ours. Not counting my parents' money. And…If you decide to divorce me or if there's someone else you want to be with… You're more than welcome to take some with you. While we're married you're welcome to as much of it as you want, of course…"

He was speaking so quickly that she had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.

"Wait… Let me go work some things out, and I'll be back. We'll go shopping." He smiled and leaned in for another kiss.

Pansy Parkinson stormed into Blaise's house and right into his room. "This is not okay!"

Blaise slid out of his bed and rubbed his bright eyes with the back of one hand. "What's not alright? What happened this time?"

Pansy held out a newspaper clipping and tossed it in his direction. "This! How can you explain this to me! You promised me you'd keep them apart! What is this!"

Blaise looked down at a picture of Draco and Ginny holding hands in Hogsmeade. They appeared to be running.

Blaise sighed. "I get sloshed and say things I don't mean. Sorry I made you a promise." He held his head. He'd gotten pretty sloshed last night… Where was that blonde he had been with the night before?

"Well thanks to this picture, you're going to help me break them up! I will get married before this year is up! You don't know what being in love can do to a person!"

Blaise sighed. "Fine. What'd you have in mind?

Ginny walked down into the dining room and smiled as she watched a few little house elves dancing in a circle. Ginny walked past them and to the door that lead to Draco's study. She looked in the door, only to see Malfoy's head in a book, deep.

"Hoping to get lost?" she said with a smile, amused at the fact that he jumped.

He slid over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "I didn't want to beg you to marry me. I wanted you to choose whether or not you wanted to stay… And now you're going to be here with me, and all that money and…" He took a deep breath and shook his head.

"When? When do you want to get married?"

Ginny took a deep breath and licked her lips. "Well… I have to go back to school in September, so I guess… August? That gives us two months to get ready…"

Draco nodded. "Sounds as perfect as you…"

A/N Hey guys, just a few notes:

Okay, I know the romance was laid on a little thick toward the end, but she just made him a LOT of money lol. I think I'd be gushy too.

In the last chapter I left a note saying something about "They don't get together in the end" and just for clarification, I was talking about Draco and Ginny in the real books. Truth is, I don't care lol. I like this pairing best.

Oh and something else: I don't ever remember saying she'd never seen a man naked. That's not very realistic… I have ONE brother and I've seen him naked on many an occasion. Not in a nasty way or anything but when there are people living together, in a cramped space, you almost can't help it.

And about making her seem loose… It says that DRACO had heard RUMORS. I've heard rumors about me that are far from true…

And one more thing. If something doesn't seem to make sense… Shut up lol. Everything will tie in in the end. EVERYTHING that doesn't seem to fit in, will. You are NOT telling me anything I haven't yet noticed lol.

UGH!! I am having UBER formating problems!!!!!! Be paitiant please lol.
