A Cheap Motel
Ginny Weasley wasn't precious, despite what some would think. She was able to slog it out in a Quidditch match in rain, hail or shine. As a child she had enjoyed mud wrestling with her brothers and digging holes in the garden. She didn't cry when she broke a nail, or sulked when a boy didn't like her back. She was able to handle most things, but being taken to an old and run down motel for an anniversary was not one of them.
"This wasn't what I was expecting." She hadn't meant it in a cruel way, but that was how it sounded to Blaise.
"It was the best I could do." He shrugged, shuffling his feet in the dusty room. After the war, money had gone to the wayside for Blaise and his mother. He had tried to look for a nicer place, but he just couldn't afford it.
Ginny regarded him with sympathy. "I understand," she said, but she really didn't. She just didn't know that he had told her he had a lot more money than he actually did.
Blaise sat on the hard bed and looked up at the red-haired woman. Nothing could hide her disappointment. He had thought she'd turn a blind eye to the location if he made it romantic, but all of his requests upon arrival had not been delivered. "Sorry." He felt terrible.
Ginny shook her head, sitting beside him. "Don't be." She kissed his lips with a lingering lust for more. "Don't be." She pulled him down onto the hard surface.
It was there that they spent the night. After her initial disappointment, Ginny realised she could ignore the moths, cobwebs and mould that filled the room, and just enjoy the time she could spend with her fiancé.
