AUTHORS NOTE: I own nothing...(except Felicia) bla bla bla. I make no money from this stuff...you know the drill...bla bla bla.

At the very moment Ginny accepted Harry's proposal, Draco sat at dinner with his parents, Pansy Parkinson, and her parents. He was not hungry so he just kept playing in his food.

"Draco, if you're just going to play with your food get rid of it," Lucious told his son disgusted.

Draco stood taking his uneaten food to the maid in the kitchen.

"Felicia, can I tell you another deep dark secret and not have it go any further?" Draco asked the maid.

"Of course Draco. I have never told on you for anything. Except that once and I learned my lesson. Your father is irrational. Smacking you the way he did over a vase that he fixed ten minutes later," Felicia stated.

"Felicia. I was five. Can you stop bringing that up?" Draco asked rolling his eyes at the maid.

"Sure Draco. What did you want to talk about?" Felicia asked.

Draco's mouth opened to tell Felicia about Ginny when Pansy bounced into the room.

"Oh, Drakie! How are you? I've missed you so much!" Pansy squealed.

"Pansy! Not now," Draco said through clenched teeth.

"Our parents are going on a cruise together and leaving the two of us here alone," Pansy said stroking Draco's muscular arm with her finger.

Felicia shot Draco a sorry look and apparated to her wing of the mansion.

Draco stormed back to the dining room, "MOM! DAD! You cannot leave me here with her!" Draco shouted pointing at Pansy.

The adults' mouths all dropped open.

"Draco. I thought it would be a chance for you two to make up. You used to love it when we left you alone while we went out," Mrs. Parkinson said.

"Yeah, when we were dating and she sucked my dick whenever I told her to," Draco stated angrily.

"Draco! You are grounded!" Lucious screamed.

"You can't ground me!" Draco raged.

"Like hell I can't! My house! My rules!" Lucious stated.

"Well then, Dad. How about I move out. I am not staying here with Pansy and you don't give me the freedom of an adult," Draco grumbled going to his room to dig up his trunk from Hogwarts.

With a wave of his wand all of his belongings were in the drunk and it appeared that he never lived in the room. His owl sensing a trip perched on Draco's shoulder. Draco stormed downstairs.

"Where will you go?" Narcissa asked, tears forming in her eyes.

"Mom, don't worry. I've been saving up my allowance for two and a half years. I'll have plenty of money to get by on. I'll find an apartment somewhere in Diagon Alley or Hogsmead. No big deal. I will have a world of possibilities," Draco said hugging his mother.

Seconds later he apparated out of the house. He'd get a room at the Leaky Caldron for tonight and begin his apartment hunt the next morning. Before turning in for the night Draco pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill.

Felicia,
I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. Before I was interrupted by Pansy I was telling you a secret. I am in love with a very beautiful girl who my parents would disown me if they knew. I love Ginny Weasley. I know she's a blood traitor and I'm not supposed to have anything to do with her. But she has changed. And so have I. I am not going to follow Voldermort anymore. And one day, no matter what Dad says, I'm going to marry Ginny Weasley and make a family with her. Thank you Felicia, for being the one person who I can trust and not have to worry.
Love,
Draco

Draco tied the letter to his owl's foot. "Make sure this only goes to Felicia," Draco said petting his owl feeding it a treat.

The owl took off into the night and Draco settled in for bed.

The next morning his owl still was not home. Draco shook it off a Felicia babying him before sending him out again. No wonder that owl was such a pussy.

Draco went downstairs and purchased The Daily Prophet and began his hunt for apartments. He found one in Diagon Alley, and one in Hogsmead.

First he would inquire about the one in Diagon Alley because he was already basically there. Then he'd appaprate over to Hogsmead and make his decision over lunch at Three Broomsticks. If he moved to Hogsmead he could get in contact with Ginny and tell her that she could visit him if she still had the Mauders map from Harry and her brother.

The apartment in Diagon Alley was a small studio. Draco was not to keen on the idea of living in one room. The Hogsmead apartment was perfect. It was upstairs of Three Broomsticks. It had two bedrooms, one that was almost all windows. That would be turned into his art studio. The rent was cheap. He could easily afford 41 galleons, 8 sickles, and 5 knuts a month.

He told the landlord he would take it and paid him the first six months in advance. Then he apparated to the Leaky Caldron to get his things. The damned owl still was not back.

"Eh, he'll find his way to me. He always does," Draco said aloud.

He then apparated to his new apartment and unpacked his trunk. There were only two things missing. Furniture, an easy fix, and Ginny.

When Draco returned from the furniture store with a bed, couch and a new comforter set he cast a spell to put the things together and went to tend to his owl making a ruckus on the window sill. He removed the letter from its leg and fed it a treat.

Draco,
I knew about Ginny. I found that drawing you did. By the way, it was really good. I think you two would make a cute couple. I think that more people need to intermingle with muggles and "blood traitors". There is nothing wrong with it. You can't help who you fall in love with. As always, your secrets are safe with me. Let me know when you find a place and I'll visit you.
Love,
Felicia

Draco couldn't help but smile. His furniture was being built around him which meant that he was free to set up his studio and draw.
