Chapter 1: Overdue
~/
"Ladies move! Gentlemen! Wha! Wha! Wha! Put your hands up! Ladies, gentleman! LADIES! C'mon nah! Woo! I'm overd-d-due, gimme some r-r-r-room, I'm comin t-t-through! Paid m-my d-dues, in t-th-the mood, me and mah g-g-g-girls gonna shake da ROOM! W-w-wanna get dirrty!"
Angelina smiled and poured the tequila into five shots and handed them off to the waitress, "Table eight by the cage!" She shouted over the remix of Christina Aguilera's song Dirrty.
She stood behind the bar of her club in the Wizarding London called Phoenix Tears, serving drinks to those lookin to drown their sorrows and problems while listening to hot music, and watching the orange strobe lights, harmless flames that licked the outside of the dance floor, and a cage in every corner for people that want to hover above the crowd and dance for one song.
It was close to two am, and she was revved up, but wanted to get home by three, because Blaise was coming back tomorrow from a trip that he had taken to sort out some problem at his mothers' dress robe company in Berlin.
"Alex, can you cover the rest the night?" Angelina asked her friend next to her.
"Sure. Go on home, Boss lady." She smirked and popped the caps off two beer bottles.
"Thanks Alex, you're the best."
"Just remember that when its time for Christmas bonuses!" She smiled, and as she did so, she stuck her tongue out a bit between her teeth.
Angelina smiled and grabbed her jacket.

He watched her come through the door like his prey. She shrugged off her long leather jacket and slung it over the beige sectional that matched the rooms' décor. She had her hair up in rave braids, and orange lipstick, black eye shadow that brought out the green flecks in her eyes. She wore low black pants that showed the cracks to her hips, an orange tank top, with a bare shoulder, slashed cloth on the left strap hanging down like fringe, in a fire print. She wore her favorite black lobo boots, and the necklace with the ring on it.
She walked right by his hiding place in the shadows and craned her neck from side to side, stretching out the tense muscles. He tiptoed out, wrapped his arms around Angelina's waist, and kissed her neck, slowly, and sensually.
"Mmm, I thought we said we were through Draco. You have Gin and I have Blaise." She said.
"Draco?"
"Hehe couldn't resist babe!" Angelina said, turning around and wrapping her arms around his neck, "Isn't this a pleasant surprise!"
"Berlin got boring. Couldn't wait for tonight. I missed you."
Angelina smiled and brought his mouth to hers in a searing passionate kiss.
"If I hadn't been expecting some sort of entrance like this, I probably would've kicked your ass."
"Probably." He agreed with a chuckle, "That's why before you came in, I put a no violence spell on the flat."
Pressing his lips to her neck, kissing and licking a path from the hollow base over to her pulse point, he grin wickedly when the speed quickened and she bent her head backward to give him better access. He pushed her back slowly, continued walking hoping to make it into their bedroom, only that didn't happen. Angelina laughed and gasped as she hit the wall, the picture frames poking into her back. His hands grabbed at her ass and lifted her so her legs wrapped around his waist. Walking towards the bed, he plopped her down on it and ripped his designer shirt. She watched his hands move to his tank top hungrily as she herself pulled her own top off.
He covered her body with his and kissed her chest above her strapless bra.

Ginny entered the flat with Draco, hand in hand. She walked in and then suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Draco, I'm worried." She stated nervously.
"About?" He asked hesitantly.
"Ever since we defeated Voldemort, I haven't had any dreams. It's making me nervous."
"I figured you'd be glad if you got rid of them." Draco stated, searching her face for an answer, "But you're not."
"After I found out about Charlie, and fainted, I busted my head open. Dumbledore didn't want me healed. After we defeated Voldemort… Madam Pomfrey healed me, and I haven't had any dreams. What if, one of the components that makes the spell work, reacted to my… "Abilities" and deleted them?" She was ringing her hands nervously now.
"Gin…" Draco started, his hand caressing her cheek, "It'll be ok. Listen, just, go get ready for the ball tonight."

"But you know I hate these damn balls, Blaise!" Angelina whined, "C'mon. Let's stay home like we had planned. I swear you won't regret it. It'll be a night you won't forget." She smiled coyly and let her robe slide off her shoulders, almost revealing her breasts.
He looked at her and sighed, "Fine. But I'm holding you to that and you better make me not regret this. The new Minister is being named."
"It's Arthur Weasley, hands down." She said with a dismissive wave of her hand.

A love song by Muggle Singer Jessica Simpson called I Wanna Love You Forever echoed through the large auditorium filled with Wizards and Witches, either rich or from the Ministry of Magic.
Draco and Ginny spun around the dance floor gracefully.
"You love, look gorgeous tonight Lady Ginny."
"And you look quite handsome Sir Draco." She said with a small nod of her head. She kept a straight face for a moment before breaking out in a large smile.
"Ladies and Gentleman, may I please have you attention." Cornelius Fudge's magicked-magnified voice requested, "As you all know, I am retiring tonight after over two decades of Minister-ing. And tonight, I am announcing the new Minister of Magic."
Claps filled the room and Ginny smiled up at her father before sipping the wine.
"Gin, you're not twenty one yet, you shouldn't be drinking."
"Shut up Fred. You were drinking when you were still at Hogwarts." She said through smiling up at her father, who nervously adjusted his tie. She chuckled as she watched Fred go pale and walk away, leaving a threat not to tell Mum.
"And, without further ado. I am most proud, to announce, the new Minister of Magic, my friend, and co-worker, Arthur Weasley!"
Ginny jumped a little and started clapping. She watched her father accept the burden and then saw him walk down to hug his only daughter.
"I'm so proud of you Dad." She said, hugging him tightly, before saying, "Charlie would be too."
He pulled away and smiled softly, kissing her forehead. He turned to Draco and smiled.
"Congratulations Mister Weasley." Draco said, holding his hand out, "Excuse me, Minister Weasley."
Arthur smiled and brought Draco into a hug and clapped him on the back twice.
"Excuse me, Arthur!" Fudge called, waving frantically. He was standing with Aurors Nymphadora Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt.
"Excuse me dear." Arthur said, leaving.
Ginny smiled and waved back at Tonks and Kingsley then downed the rest of her glass and grabbed a second wine. It was half gone till she stopped, noticing her father, the new Minister, become pale and worried. He looked over at Ginny and Draco, and said something.
"Now I wish I hadn't skipped Muggle Studies when they taught lip-reading." She mumbled, watching her father magnify his voice.
"Sorry to do this everyone, but the festivities have to end."

"Hmmmm, the ball was fantastic Draco!" Ginny gushed. She was arriving back at their flat, drunk, in the champagne colored gown Charlie had left for her five years ago, "Too bad it ended early." She said before taking a sip of wine from the glass she had filled before they left the limo.
"Come now love. Don't scare all our neighbors." He joked as she toppled into the door beside her.
She laughed and watched with great interest as he unlocked the door. Placing his keys on the table by the door, he noticed a second set of keys next to Ginny's and recognized them as Angelina and Blaise's spare to the flat for emergencies.
Ginny and Draco walked into the living room and saw a pale and terrified Angelina gripping the slightly shocked and trembling hand of Blaise.
"Whats wrong?" Ginny asked, sobering immediately.
Angelina looked up, tears of fear pooled in her dark chocolate depths. She held up a shaking hand, holding the Evening Prophet.
Ginny gasped and dropped the wine glass to the floor as she read the title.

Yeppers, they're the newest obstacle. But that won't be centered round the next couple of chapters.
Thanks to all who reviewed. Love ya lots! ^__^
Momentyne: in the first story, that this is the sequel to, Percy murdered Charlie. He'd gone evil and begun to help Voldemort. If you're confused, try reading the last three or four chapters in the fic Help Me Cause I'm Breaking Down. It pretty much explains stuff.
Love ya all,
Ash
