Chapter 13: Do You Love Me? Pt. 2

Previously:

"Can I know the other reason now? Please?!" Ginny asked as her and Draco walked around the Eiffel Tower after eating.

"Hmm, I don't know," Draco pretended to ponder the question, "I guess you can, but it involves a question."

"Oh? Which question?" She couldn't hold in her excitement, and when he bent down on one knee she stopped breathing.

"Retina, I know we've only been getting along for a small amount of time, but…Will you marry me?"

"Oh. My. God." Luna and Trinity screamed when Ginny and Draco arrived home, and she showed them the ring that now rested on her finger.

"What?!" the boys came running into the Entrance Hall to see why the girls were excited.

Trinity squealed some more as Pansy replied excitedly, "They're engaged!"

Ginny rolled her eyes as the boys gaped open-mouthed before congratulating them in loud voices.

The adults then came in to see why the boys were excited, and when Ginny's and Draco's parents came in, she attacked them with hugs.

"Oh my God, I can't believe none of you told me! But I'm glad it was a surprise, too, but you should've given me some hints!"

"then it wouldn't have been a surprise!" Alecto chuckled.

Draco, who had been tackled by his sister, spoke from the floor, "The look on her face was priceless. I wish I had had someone taking pictures."

Trinity giggled, "That wouldn't be very nice, Dray!"

He just shrugged as Ginny and ran over and plopped down on his stomach, hugging Trinity and joining everyone in laughing.

Daily Prophet December 26, 1997

A Death Eater Engagement
By: Rita Skeeter

Yesterday, in a stroke of luck, I saw Ginevra Weasley - who was revealed to actually be Genevieve Riddle, daughter of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named - with known Death Eater's son, Draco Malfoy in Paris. Miss Riddle was, to say the least, beautiful, a surprise for many probably since many know of how You-Know-Who looks. Mr. Malfoy decided to take Miss Riddle to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower as a Christmas present, but that wasn't the only surprise for the young princess.
After serving her a supposedly amazing dinner, Mr. Malfoy proposed to the Dark Princess right as the annual Yule Celebration down on the ground ended and fireworks erupted in the sky. A truly romantic proposal, but I had, unfortunately, not heard Miss Riddle's response to every woman's favorite question.
I hopefully will have more to report on the Dark Princess and Mr. Malfoy within the coming days.

"Grr! Doesn't that woman have anything better to do than pry into others' personal business?!" Ginny snapped the next morning after reading the Prophet.

Draco reached over and read the article, giving a snort as Blaise read it next. The paper made it all the way around the table, the eyes of all fourteen teenagers narrowing as they read it.

"Well," Luna supplied, "at least we know she likes you." When everyone stared at her, she continued, "She called you beautiful, Retina, and we all know that woman doesn't know how to give a true compliment to anyone but herself."

"Too true," Damion agreed.

"Still, I agree with Retina. That woman shouldn't be allowed to be on the Prophet." Pansy sniffed.

Bellatrix entered the room with a chuckling Nia, "Who has gotten Pansy's disapproval this time?"

Ginny sneered, "Rita Skeeter."

Nia shuddered, "Gods, I've always hated her. Be thankful you're lucky enough to not have gone to school with her."

Theo, Millicent, Briant, and Grace snickered at remembering something, and Ginny looked at them, "You know, sharing is caring."

"Isn't that the term muggles use when they want to convince someone to give them drugs?" Briant whispered to Luna. She shrugged.

"We were just thinking of Paravati and Padma," Millicent smiled as the twins yelled indignantly.

"Don't forget Brown." Draco said, laughing.

"Lavender Brown?" Trinity's eyebrows scrunched together as she took a bite of bacon, "Come to think of it, she was always snooping around, but I only noticed her doing it to me, so it was probably cos' I'm a Malfoy in Gryffindor."

The rest of them shrugged before going back to their food, but the silence didn't last long before…

A/N: Hey, guys! Oh my gosh, I JUST realized that this is, like, the first time in forever that I updated the same story in less time than a month! I'm getting better! YAY!
