90 miles outside Chicago

Can't stop driving

I don't know why

Too many questions

I need an answer

Two years later

You're still on my mind

Ginny sat in her car, waiting for the traffic to move. She was thinking about how much her life had changed after the war 2 years ago. She was still in her 6th year when the final battle came and when Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, defeated Voldemort and survived. Harry was happy that all of the fighting was over and he was finally rid of the pain once and for all. Ginny was finally over her crush on Harry and had started to see other people, like Dean Thomas, a Gryffindor just like her. Although their relationship didn't last long, she was still happy that she wouldn't be pining for Harry Potter anymore. But then everything changed that night, two years ago. She started to listen to the Muggle singer. What were the lines that she just sang? “Too many questions, I need an answer. Two years, later you're still on my mind”? How ironic, she was just thinking the same thing. After running away to the Muggle world to work for Seamus in his advertising company two years ago, she wondered whether this was the right thing to do.

Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?

Who holds the stars up in the sky?

Is true love just once in a lifetime?

Did the captain of the Titanic cry?

Some miles away, Draco was sitting in his limo, waiting for the traffic to clear. He never listened to the Muggle radio before, but the song was exactly right on target on what he was thinking right now. “Is true love just once in a lifetime?” He was asking that same question. He always wondered whether the girl of his dreams would ever come back to him. He always imagined her red hair, her brown, dark eyes, and that cute laugh she would use, for him and only him. Keeping Muggle business ties was his only way of having anything related to her close to him. He tried to recall what happened two years ago, how everything had fallen apart. He didn't know that night that he was going to be hurt.

*Flashback*

She was the only one that had accepted him into their Order. The Golden Trio wasn't all that excited, but Hermione was ok with it, saying that Draco had finally joined the right side. They had started dating after that, and Ginny, being the only girl in her family of brothers, knew how to handle him. They had been dating ever since. Harry had asked Ginny to go out for a celebratory dinner right after Voldemort had been defeated. He was ecstatic when she had not agreed, seeing as they could spend the night together. She knew that Hermione and Ron were also supposed to go, but Ron had declined, saying that he had a date with Luna, so it was only Hermione and Harry.

Ginny had found out about Hermione loving Harry when she found her in the bathroom. Ginny had asked what she was crying about. Hermione had always wanted Harry to look at her in some other way than his best friend, and that had happened tonight. Harry had been worried about Hermione because she said she was going into battle with him. He told her straight flat out no, he didn't want to think about someone he cared about being anywhere near danger again. She asked him why shouldn't she. He told her that he cared too much about her to lose her. She left it there. A few hours later, she asked Harry what it had meant. He told her it meant nothing, that he was caught up in the moment and that he didn't want her to go. She left him there, and ran start to the bathroom. She sat there and started crying.

Ginny had told Ron about it. Ron saw the dinner as a chance for Hermione to finally let Harry see what he was missing. Ginny was going to help her in the glamour department while Draco made sure that Harry was kept occupied while Ginny took care of Hermione.

`Are you sure this is going to help?' Hermione asked Ginny.

`If he doesn't see how beautiful you look tonight, I'm going to hex him straight into the next century!' Ginny exclaimed as she had put on some mascara on Hermione's eyes.

`Oh don't do that, if you do, then all the work you did on me tonight would be for nothing!'

`Yeah… but for once I want to see both of my friends happy.'

`Oh really? You don't want him anymore?' asked Hermione suspiciously, raising her eyebrow.

`What would I want with Harry, when I have Draco?'

Hermione didn't want to say anything more. She didn't want to tell Ginny that Draco may not be all that interested in her and that he was just using her to get back at Ron and his father. But Hermione didn't see what Ginny saw. She saw a different Draco when they went out, whether just for a walk or dinner. He was happier when he was with her, and she saw it in his eyes. They always lit up, just like Christmas lights.

When Ginny was finally done with Hermione's make up, she went out of the room, told Hermione to wait until she called for her. Ginny went down to the living room and cleared her throat.

`May I now present… Hermione Jane Granger.' Ginny announced.

They waited a few moments. Ginny looked to where Hermione was standing. She was frozen with shock. She let out a frustrated sigh. “Hermione Granger, get your cute butt down here!” she shouted.

Hermione started to walk down the stairs, looking beautiful in the dress that Ginny had helped her pick out and make up that Ginny had put on her. It wasn't too much, only some to accentuate her features. Her hair was straight and it was tied up into and elegant twist. Her dress didn't reveal too much, not too long and not too skimpy. She was also wearing high heels, which was different from seeing her wear sneakers all the time, except the time she was at the Yule Ball.

Harry and Draco had been staring at Hermione for the longest time until Ginny had stood in front of Hermione and glared at both of them. They both snapped out of their staring game and Harry stood up.

`You look beautiful tonight, Hermione.' he whispered.

`I hope so, these heels are killing me!' she whispered back.

Harry started to laugh as they Apparated away with a crack. Finally, Draco and Ginny were alone.

`So what do want to do?' they both asked in unison.

`Why are you asking me?' they said again.

Ginny started laughing and made her way to her boyfriend. Draco had never seen such a beautiful woman, and he didn't know if he deserved her. After all, he had tortured her and her family ever since her 1st year, starting with that evil diary his father had slipped her. He never forgave himself for letting that happen, because after dating her, he found out how hard her life was after that incident. She could never sleep, she couldn't stand eating chicken anymore and she never showed her true feelings to anyone, even him.

`What do you REALLY want to do, Mr. Malfoy?' she asked.

`Could we just stay in and just lie down together?' Draco asked with a funny gleam in his eyes.

`Oh no! Not after what happened the last time! I told you we would never do it here EVER again!'

Ginny recalled that night when they had come home earlier than the others and things got out of hand. Draco had Ginny pinned to the wall, trying to get her clothes off when they heard someone clear their throat. It was Luna. She had forgotten to take her coat. Draco backed off Ginny and started blusing, deeply embarrassed. Ginny, on the other hand, was furious at her friend. Why did she have to come back to get her coat? Ginny thought. She stared to blush red as Luna made her way to the door. Good thing my brother wasn't with her, she thought, he would've killed Draco on the spot.

`But this time I'll make sure that the doors are warded and that there will be a silencing spell on the place!' Draco insisted.

`How can I be so sure about this when you told me this the last time?' she argued.

`Because this time you'll be the one to put them up!' Draco stated.

`Why you conceited little ferret!' Ginny said as she threw a pillow at him.

`So I'm back to ferret, eh weasel?' Draco drawled before getting hit by the pillow, square in the face.

`Oh, you're gonna to pay!' He picked up a pillow and started to chase Ginny.

They ran around with pillows and playfully hitting each other until they collapsed on the bed in Ginny's room. They were still laughing until Draco suddenly stopped. Ginny stopped as well, wondering why he stopped. He looked at her and leaned in to kiss her. She closed her eyes and felt his lips on hers, gentle and warm. She started to kiss back, sitting up. Draco pulled back and looked at her. Ginny groaned softly.

`So, do you want to… you know.' Draco asked.

`Hmmm… does it mean you will put up the spells?' Ginny asked back

`What do you think?' he drawled. `Fine… I will.'

He picked up his wand and muttered the spells needed. When he was done, he stared back at his girlfriend, who was looking cute just in her jeans and t-shirt. He knew that tonight there would be no one to bother them.

*End of Flashback*

Draco snapped out of his reverie by the sound of a honking car. How long had he been thinking? Even he wasn't sure. But he knew that he had to find her. He had to sort out what had happened between them and how it was going end.

Someday we'll know

If love can move a mountain

Someday we'll know

Why the sky is blue

Someday we'll know

Why I wasn't meant for you

Author's Notes: Well, for some of you who have already read this, it's kinda different. And the later chapters will not be the same, save a few key moments I've planned out, but all in all, I was happy when I first wrote this and since it's going back up, I hope to see reviews again!
