Destiny- Drinny

24- A Picnic

600! Hope you like it xx

Ginny sat at a desk in the common room, which overlooked the black lake, drawing. Not many people knew, but Ginny loved to draw- and she was great at it. When her Grandparents were alive, Ginny would recreate old baby pictures of her and her brothers for them.

She admired her work and hid it in a folder as Draco walked over.

"Hey, Gin." He smiled.

After finding out Draco may become a death eater in the holidays, the two became inseparable. They cherished their time together- especially Draco. He knew the holiday would be gloomy- so he needed as much happiness as he could before then. And Ginny knew it to. She made sure to keep him smiling, and wouldn't pick small arguments over nothing. She knew the holidays would be hell for him, and hard for her, knowing Draco would be in a house full of death eaters.

"Hi, Draco." She smiled.

"Whatcha doing?" He asked, leaning on the table.

"Just catching up with some school work." She replied, picking up her founder, and stood next to him.

"Of course." He laughed. "How were you not put in Ravenclaw?"

"I'm a Weasley." She said in a 'duh' tone, making him laugh.
"Anyway, I was wondering if you'd come to the Room of Requirements with me." She asked.

"Sure." He smiled, as they walked out of the dungeons.

"Thank you, Gin, for keeping me happy." He said, as they walked down the halls.

"Since it's the only thing I can do to help, I'm gunna do it properly." She chuckled, though slightly sad about the circumstances.

"I'm gunna miss you, you know." He said, as his hand brushed hers.

"So will I." She said, her fingertips reaching out slightly, to graze his.

"Gin! Ginny!" Called a voice from behind them.

Hermione appeared from behind them, a book of potions held to her chest as she bounded over.

"I'm coming to yours for the Christmas break!" She announced, excitedly.

"Yeah, that's great!" Replied Ginny, moving her hand away from Draco's.

It instantly felt cold.

"I'll be crashing in with you, if that's okay?" She asked.

"Of course." Ginny answered.

"Right then, I'll see you round. Malfoy." She said, nodding her head to the blonde, his name still said with a hint of disgust.

He nodded as she walked back down the hall.

"Thank you." Said Ginny.

"Your welcome." He answered, as they headed towards the ROR.

He had begun to stop calling Granger 'Mudblood' on the account Ginny would get upset, and lessened his insults to the trio and the rest of her friends. He seemed to be going soft, for he had stopped picking on the whole school- and it was all because of Ginny.

They arrived at the wall leading to the magical room.

Ginny closed her eyes for a moment, before re-opening them, as a small door formed on the wall.

"Come on." She said, as they entered the room.

Inside, a small picnic sat, surrounded by fluffy throws, marshmallow cushions and lit lanterns and candles. It looked fit for a fairy. Draco's favourite foods were laid around the floor, along with some butter beers.
