Standing in front of the mirror, Ginny didn't know if she should smile or throw up at the sight of her. She wore a beige and black dress- Fleur's choice for the bridesmaids- and although dresses were not her favourite, Ginny didn't mind her appearance. As she patted her dress down, she heard a voice.

"You look perfect- no matter what you wear." She heard the voice say.

Looking back up to the mirror, Ginny saw Draco standing behind her, dressed in a black suit. Dressed in black, his pale skin stood out, but looked handsome, none the less.

"Draco!" She said, happily, spinning around.

Expecting to see him, Ginny frowned when she was met with her empty room. No Draco in sight.

Turning around, again, Ginny looked back at the mirror, and tilted her head in confusion as she saw Draco again. Looking back to the rest of her room, she sighed.

"You're not really here, are you? It's all in my head." She said, glum.

"I'm sorry. I would have come in person, but I didn't think that would go well with our families." He smiled, as Ginny looked into the mirror.

"How are you here?" She asked.

"Mother managed to charm the mirror long enough to speak to you. It's not all in your head- think of it like a call. I have to tell you something really important Gin, but I don't have long." As she nodded, he continued. "The death eaters are planning on crashing the wedding. They knew when Potter was being moved too. Listen, I need you to make sure you are out of the way when they come." He said, his eyes shining with anxiety and fear for Ginny.

"You expect me to coward away while my family and friends could get killed?" She asked, stunned.

"I need you to be safe, Gin. I can't loose you."

"Oh, so you can't loose me, but I can loose my family?" Ginny questioned, sarcastically, scoffing. "No, Draco. You know that's not going to happen."

Looking into the mirror, Ginny watched Draco sigh and run a hand through his pristine hair.

"I know. But I had to warn you." He sighed, "please, Gin. I- I need you."

"I need you too, Draco, but I need to keep my family safe. I promise I'll see you again once school starts. Hey- so does your parents know about us still?" Ginny asked, anxiously.

"Only my mother. My father still thinks we are just friends." Draco said. "She likes you, you know." He smiled, causing Ginny to reflect his beam.

"Draco, you need to finish it- the meeting begins soon." Ginny headed Mrs Malfoy whisper.

Nodding, Draco turned to Ginny.

"I have to go, but please stay safe." He smiled, as his reflection in the mirror slowly drifted away, leaving Ginny alone in the mirror. The only remembrance of his presence was the warm feeling in Ginny's heart.

Smiling to herself, Ginny slipped on her shoes, and left her room, making sure to keep her wand in hand.

"Oh Ginny- you look so beautiful." Smiled Mrs Weasley, beaming at her daughter.

"Thanks mum." Answered Ginny.

"My little girl. All grown up."

Taking her mother's hand, they walked down the stairs and into the garden, where most of the family were, setting the tent up.

"Looking good, Gin!" Yelled Fred, who was carrying a table with George.

"Thank merlin you like girls- or we'll have an army of boys to fight off." George chuckled.

"What did he say?" Asked Molly, her old ears not picking it up.

"Nothing mum." Said Ginny, stiffly, "lets help get everything ready, yeah?"

As Ginny walked past her brothers, she mouthed to them not to tell the adults. Nodding in response the boys got back to work.

Phew. Thought Ginny. That'll be less people to explain to after this war is over.

Grabbing a tray of food, Ginny placed them on the food table, and walked over to Hermione.

"Hey, Gin. Congrats on coming out, by the way." She said smiling.

"Thanks Mione, but can you not tell anyone please? Oh, and tell Harry and the rest of the gang to keep their wands on them. I have a feeling something bad will happen."

"Gin, you don't need to worry- only close friends and family have been invited." Smiled Ron, walking over to them.

"No, I think Ginny's right- what better time to strike the order than this?" Hermione stated, agreeing with Ginny.

"Oh, okay then." Smiled Ron, making Ginny frown.

"How come you listen to her?" Questioned Ginny.

"It's Mione, Gin. The brightest witch of her age." Ron beamed, as Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Have you forgot Ginny got moved up a year for potions and skipped astrology altogether? And is the youngest witch to be a professional quidditch player?" Defended Hermione.

"You forget she is my little sister, I watched eat sand- then try to get rid of it by rubbing her mouth with a sandy hand." Smirked Ron, as Ginny growled, leaving them, and walked over to Harry.

"Hi, Harry." She smiled.

"Hey Gin. I just wanted to say..." spoke Harry, "that I hope you'll be happy." He said, smiling. "And don't worry- George told me not to tell anyone."

"Thanks Harry." Smiled Ginny, "you look nice."

"Not as nice as you." He beamed, "make sure to keep your wand on you, yeah? I don't think the death eaters are happy that they didn't get me on the way here." He chuckled.

"Of course, same with you." She smiled, "I know there is a lot on your shoulders, so if you need any support- well if Mione and Ron aren't enough- then I'm here. I had voices in my head to." She smiled, referring to her first year.

"Thanks, Gin." He smiled.



"Darling- when I said finish it- I meant the relationship." Sighed Narcissa.

"Mother, you know I can't do that." Draco defended, "I thought you liked Ginny?"

"I do. But much more so when we are all alive." She spoke, "I hope you know what you are doing, son." She said, as she left the room for the meeting.

Sighing, Draco followed, praying his mother was wrong.
