It was a lovely day when I woke up, the sun was shining bright and an overly excited Draco bouncing into the room "Happy Birthday Gigi!" he threw his arms around me the sparks that were normally quite subtle between us was electrifying I almost felt sick Draco looks at me in confusion "Did you feel that?" I nod, he grabs my hands and leads me downstairs. Cissa and Lucius are sitting at the table with a pile of presents on the table I can't hold back the gasp that comes out my mouth "Happy Birthday Darling"
"Thank you"
"Mum, Dad we need to talk to you. I hugged Gigi, and as I am holding hands and there are a lot of sparks happening and I am confused on why this is" Cissa and Lucius looks towards each other in shock they such saying things like they can't be, can they be before Draco lost his temper "Can you explain what is going on!" Cissa calmly looks towards us, takes a sip of tea before speaking "It is extremely rare and I mean extremely, but it seems that you two are soulmates, this means that you two are destined for life but at the same time it doesn't mean you will stay together forever, you two still need to work for it just as you would in a normal budding relationship" we nod, I couldn't believe my ears I think hearing this is honestly the best birthday present I could ask for but at the same time I still did not know how Draco felt as Cissa said just because we are soulmates does not mean we will be together; it could just be a best friend thing. I pull a chair out taking a seat, before piling some food onto my plate; I could feel all their eyes on me they must has expected me to rush to open my presents but to be honest I never had presents before that were new so the excitement to open presents never really come to me. I continue to eat my dinner before I reach for a present it is from Uncle Moony, he bought me a set of books written my Gilderoy Lockhart I put them aside, the next load of gifts are from Lucius and Cissa they are designer wizard clothing and items "Thank you so much but you really didn't have to spend so much"
"Nonsense" Cissa states "You are practically our daughter now and we will spoil you just how we spoil Dracy" I look at Draco who is now blushing I chuckle to myself before reaching another present which was from Pansy she gave me some new collars for Shadow which I have been wanting as well as some perfume, Blaise gave me a joke book,  Honey sent me some sweets from her holiday and the last set of presents, Draco gave me; he gave me a necklace which is a dragon and a pegasi our favourite animals I couldn't help but smile he also bought me a set of pyjamas he knew I wanted and a new quill and notebook. The smile from my face soon faded when I realise that Harry has not sent me anything no one but Draco knew why sadness flooded me; Draco held my hand and squeezed, the sparks rushed through my body "Come on Pansy and Blaise will be here soon" I nod, I go put my presents upstairs before going downstairs to be greeted by Blaise and Pansy. We decided to travel to Paris, so Lucius apparated us there and told us to meet him back here at 9 that night. Before we left the spot we decided to go to the Eiffel Tower then Disneyland, none of us have ever been and I want to show them that not all muggle things are bad. We are standing in the queue for the Eiffel Tower when I feel Draco grab my hand "Potter is an idiot to stop talking to you, but if you want I will try to be nicer to him"
"No Draco, he and his crew started it and you did try for a little while but they antagonised you. He has made his bed he can lie in it" We climb into the elevator to head up to the top, the view left me speechless I now understand what people say when it just feels different up here and the atmosphere is romantic. Pansy and Blaise are in each other's arms, only took them million of years according to Draco. All I want is to be in Draco's arms as if he read my mind I feel him wrap round me "Gigi I really like you and that's not just our bond talking, will you please do the honour of being my girlfriend" I could not hold back the squeal the came out and I swung round embracing him in a full on hug "is that a yes?"
"Yes Dray, I'll be your girlfriend, best birthday ever" I don't think he could smile any wider than he did, we continue to look at Paris taking some photos of Blaise and Pansy and they did the same for us. We took the train to Disneyland, I think they are shocked at how big it is and how amazing it is. We went on all the rides, Dray bought me a Lucifer cat that reminds me of his dad and he found a charm bracelet with all the Disney characters on. Before we head back to the Eiffel Tower to meet Lucius we watched the show, being in Dray's arms felt so right and for the first time in a long time I feel like I belong. We go to meet Lucius; Cissa is with him "Draco and Georgia your with me whilst Lucius takes Blaise and Pansy back"
"Okay mum" Cissa apparated us back to the Malfoy Manor "Draco can I have a word please?"
"Yeah mum, meet you upstairs Georgia" I go to my room hoping to see some more presents on my bed but much to my disappointment there is nothing not even a letter I go have a shower and get changed into my pyjamas, I cannot help the tears that fall. Why doesn't Harry want me? What have I done wrong? We are family, we have been through everything together, I went through hell to protect him even though he is older. All because I am in Slytherin and I love Draco? Is that what this is all about? It's now gotten to the point where he forgets me on our birthday? Before I could think even more horrible things I feel Draco holding me and the dam of tears I was trying to hold back flooded open. He holds me and rubs my back, I feel so safe in his arms "why does my own family not want me?"
"I don't know because you are an amazing girl but you do have a family now, you got me, you got dad and you got mum. They both love you to bits hell mum practically sees you as her daughter"
"Thank you Dray, can you stay in here with me?"
"Yes of course, come on cuddle up" I cuddle up into Dray, slowly falling asleep safely in his arms.
