Disclaimer: JKR not mine, I'm just playing god with her characters.
Ok, I want to apologize to all of you. I'm SO sorry. I know I said I would have this out by Thursday but so much has happened since then. One of my best friends just found out his mom is really sick, dying actually and our other best friend is in England dealing wit the death of her grandfather so I've been trying to hold the fort with him till she gets home tonight.
So because of the above mentioned reasons I have had horrible writers block. I finally got inspiration because I watched the movie last night. My friend wanted to watch my favorite movie to cheer up, don't ask me how that works. But it worked, maybe watching me cry like a baby did it.....
Draco and Ginny's Story
If Luna could be called 'well-known' in the wizarding world then Ginny was a full blown celebrity. She had started at the Daily Prophet after a line of jobs she just didn't enjoy. She even had a stint in the twins shop but didn't enjoy sitting in a store looking after kids who were more annoying then she or any of her friends could have been when they where in school. So three years ago she had applied for an opening as a journalist of the lowest kind-Weekly Colander. After many lucky breaks she had some how made it to the features division where she wrote many of the front page articles that the paper published. Ginny couldn't even walk down Diagon Alley without at least ten people stopping her and asking for autographs, and complementing her on that morning's article. She was in a relationship with Dean, one that was shaky at the most. They had been together off and on since Hogwarts but he had recently proposed and were planning to get married in June. Ginny couldn't help but think about how lucky she was as she walked into her office, not only was she engaged to be married but her biography on Harry was going to be released soon, and it was the talk of the wizarding world...
Many-including Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron- thought Draco Malfoy had been a Death Eater, even though he had fought on the side of light in the final battle. Not many-ok no one- believed that he had not in fact been a Death Eater, but had had a hate for Voldemort that probably only rivaled Harry's. No one knew-or cared- that Voldemort had murdered both his parents for his father incompetence in a mission. All assumed that both had been killed in the final battle. So Draco had spent the better part of his adult life trying to prove to those in the wizarding world that he was not his father. In order to do this he had given heavily to charities and founded many non-profit organizations that worked to better the wizarding world. Though he had not been a Death Eater his attitude had not changed. He was still the Draco of Hogwarts in that he held firmly to his pure-blood beliefs, though he was not quick to share them with the world. It was these thought that went through his mind as he headed into the offices of the Daily Prophet to meet the reporter doing a feature on him....
"I refuse Daniel! I won't do it!" Ginny was yelling at her editor, and friend, Daniel Shanks.
"Ginny please? You're our best writer and I wouldn't trust anyone else to write this." He pleaded.
"I will not write a feature on-on-HIM!" With this she pointed randomly at the door to Daniel's office.
"Seems someone is not a happy journalist this morning." Someone said from the doorway in a sneer that could only be-
"Malfoy." Ginny said.
"Nice to see you to Ginervea." Malfoy said has he made his way to sit in a chair across from Daniel's desk. Daniel stood up and reached across to shake his hand.
"Mr. Malfoy. You're early; I wasn't expecting you for another half an hour." Malfoy returned the hand shake and gave a slight smile.
"Yes, well I hadn't realized I had an appointment at the same time with the director of my new clinic. I hope this isn't an inconvience." His tone of voice clearly said that he knew it was. "And please, it's Draco."
"Well Draco, I was just explaining to Daniel I am to busy at the moment to do a feature on you. He's just going to have to get one of the other journalists to do it." Ginny said. Draco's expression turned hard and he turned to look at Daniel who had his head in his hands.
"Daniel, we had an agreement. I won't do it if my request isn't met." Draco said in a cold voice.
"I know Mr-Draco. Please just go on down to her office. She'll join you in a second." Draco got up and left the office. Ginny turned to Daniel a puzzled expression on her face.
"What did he mean Daniel, you had an agreement?" She asked.
"He said he would do the article under one conditions. That you write it." Ginny opened her mouth to say something but closed it as Daniel raised his hand to silence her. "I don't know why, so don't ask. Ginny, please do this article. For me?" He pleaded.
"Gah! Fine Daniel. But you owe me, you owe me BIG." She said exasperated.
"Thank you Ginny. And I know I do. How about lunch sometime this week? On me of course." He said.
"I guess that'll have to do." She smiled at him. She got up and head to the door of his office. "If I don't check in with you in an hour send a rescue team."
"For you?"
"No, for Draco. He may need one if he's anything like he was in school" With this is made her way out of the office toward her own.
A/N: Ok, just a few reminders. One that the first three chapters were just back round info. The story really begins in chapter four. Two, that the first three chapters took place 5 weeks prior to Valentines Day. Chapter four will probably start like four weeks prior.
Also another note after this chapter all three stories will be combined, you'll find out a little more about EVERYONE each chapter. They will also probably be longer.
Thank you for reading and I'm sorry it was so short. Please drop a review if you get the chance!
