The Photographer and the Dancer

Chapter 1

"You're kidding me, Potter," Draco said as his eyes skimmed the summary of his new assignment.

Harry sighed and pushed his glasses up the rim of his nose "Draco-"

Draco looked up abruptly "Oh my goodness you're not kidding-

"It'll be good-

"A dance studio I can't even-"

"You're my best photographer and- "

"But Tim gets the cold case piece and I get a fucking dance studio-"

Harry finally fed up slammed harshly on his desk "Enough!! I want you to photograph this piece," Draco simply glared at the dark-haired man as he sighed and began to speak again "Sorry for yelling, but you know I wouldn't put you on a piece if it wasn't important."

Draco raised his brow as the man with the glasses continued to speak "It's for Ginny,"

The blonde-haired man stiffened slightly at the mention of their mutual friend's name and silently cursed himself. Of course, it was for Ginny, Harry wouldn't have been stupid enough to put him on a piece about entertainment - especially dance- unless it was for Ginny. He focused in again as his boss began to speak again.

"This is the studio that agreed to put on her first original production and you and I both know how important this is to her." Draco nodded at that.

Ginny and Draco along with his younger sister Luna had moved into New York shortly after the two girls finished their sixth form, a year after Draco. The two Malfoy siblings went to NYU - their father's alumni school. Their father was ecstatic that the two decided to go to his former school, therefore, throwing money at his children when they informed him they had applied. Ginny had somehow snagged an audition for Julliard. How the redhead got someone from Juilliard to come all the way to LONDON Draco will never know but he didn't question it when she earned a dance scholarship.

For as long as Draco has known Ginny the redhead had always been dancing. She'd create dances when they were young forcing all her brothers and the Malfoy siblings to perform them. What was embarrassing then was a fond memory now. They still performed ten-year-old Ginny's dances during the holiday season when the families would often get together. Even though it was difficult, the Weasley's saved their pennies and were eventually able to put Ginny in dance lessons. It was clear from that point on that Ginny was going to be a dancer. An amazing dancer. She practiced every day and pushed herself to limits Draco has never seen before. She watched The Nutcracker over and over swearing she would one day dance for Broadway.

It was during this time that Draco found his passion in photography and his sister Luna found hers in writing. The older Malfoy had grown up with many memories he wished he could just pause and live in forever but seeing as that was impossible he instead trapped these moments within a camera. What started off as a hobby to catch his happy moments turned into a passion to find the happy moments everywhere for everyone - from the hatching of a butterfly to the peaceful moments of a couple to caught up in each other to notice anyone else. While he tried to seize the beautiful moments within the world through photos, his younger sister found a way to capture them with words.

Growing up the pair didn't see their parents very often, the couple usually off working. Their father ran a successful business he started in his college dorm while also taking the entrepreneurship classes at NYU. Draco was extremely proud of his father who worked his ass off to provide the life for his children that he never had, but Draco often wished his father had been around more. The Malfoy siblings' mother was around more often than their workaholic father though she still was often very busy.

Mrs.Malfoy was a successful lawyer in England which was how she met their father - she represented the entrepreneur when he was being sued for something none of them could remember now- after he had moved Malfoy Enterprises back to his home city, London. Since she was indeed around more it wasn't a question to anyone why the siblings were closer to their mother, but despite his father's absences, the children did still develop a relationship with the oldest Malfoy. The couple was extremely supportive when the youngest Malfoy moved all the way to New York and tried the best they could to regularly call and skype their children.

The days before the siblings traveled to New York with the youngest Weasley, Luna raved about how she would write articles about the great Ginny Weasley, and Draco laughed along proclaiming he would take photographs that she would look as if she was about to grande jeté off the page.

Draco snapped himself out of the memories and looked up once again back at the man in front of him. "I'll do it, for Ginny of course, but I have three conditions."

Harry rolled his eyes at the statement, obviously expecting this from Draco. The blonde man stuck up his pointer finger, "One, I want Luna to be the writer on this case,"

"Done."

"Two I want this to be the cover article for the magazine when it's released. I mean on the website and everything." Draco stuck up a second finger as he spoke.

"I'll see what I can do."

Draco put up the third finger "You buy Luna and me dinner this Friday."

"Draco," Harry pushed up his glasses and pinched his nose. The pale man shrugged his shoulders with a smug look on his face as he leaned back in his seat. Harry groaned and then reluctantly nodded.

"Looks like I'll be the photographer for these dancers then Mr.Potter."
