8- Closer In London

"It seems Mr Malfoy and Miss Weasley have 'hit it off' as you say." Enquired McGonagll, after shifting out of her cat form. "I am now seeing why you moved Miss Weasley."

"Her and Mr Malfoy had been at each other's throats for months. It was time for them to see how much they had in common." Dumbledoors dismissive voice bounced off the walls of his golden office.

"I am aware of the fewer detentions I am seeing them in, but can we really accept sneaking off just to get to people to be 'chummy chummy'?" She questioned.

"Minevera, Mr Malfoy and Miss Weasley are flying high in all their classes. I don't see the in letting them chill out for this once, don't you? Maybe next time they will be more secretive about it so we won't know they aren't in school?" He eyed the woman, teasingly over his glasses, which perched precariously at the end of his nose.

The woman only huffed and left the office,waving the headmaster to chuckle to himself.

Ginny found herself staring at a dark red bricked wall. Draco and her had left the school to find the door led out from an empty cub board in the leaky couldren by the toilets. They grabbed a butter beer on the go and walked down the deserted streets of Hogsmade. Draco led her down an old pub to the back courtyard to stare blankly at the wall.

"We walked all this way to what? Admire the view?" She asked sarcastically, annoyed that she let a Malfoy waste her valuable time. She mockingly studied the wall, "because if it was to check out the sweet view I must say you have waisted your time."

Draco watched the red head amused. She had suck a short temper in him and so little faith, it almost heart him that she didn't take him seriously. Her vibrant hair almost blended into the bricks as he chuckled lightly.

"You really have no faith in my do you, red?" He shook his head, pulling out his wand.

Ginny eyed him, suspiciously.

"If you took me to this deserted courtyard behind a decrepit pub to kill me, I may warn you, I can scream really loudly and will definitely grab the attention of the skeletons back in there." She said, referring to the limited number of customers the pub had, all looking well above sixty.

"Ha ha. Your funny hun, but no, I have a better treat in mind." He lightly tapped his wand on the bricks and the bricks began to shift back, brick by brick, creating a small archway for the two to enter.

Ginny's face was a sight to behold. Her jaw almost hitting the floor, as her eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets. Ginny never realised this could happen and she was flabbergasted at the sight.

Draco just chuckled and walked through, Ginny following suit. It led into  another small courtyard, almost replicated the one they entered prior, but this had less maniacal instruments and more muggle junk. It led to a old, unused, red wooden door, leading to a muggle pub, again mirroring the wizarding one with the accept-ion of all magical belongings. The fire whisky and butter beer smell was whipped of her pallet, and replaced by a bitter ground coffee order and some chips. Possibly two people sat in the pub, and they kept themselves to themselves- not even looking up from their newspaper or the empty bottom of an bottle of beer.

Ginny soon realised these people looked like muggles, they were in the muggle world! She quickly latched onto Draco's hand from behind, as they continued to walk out of the pub.
