Ginny and Lucius still have some important stuff to discuss...remember the whole diary, Chamber of Secrets thing?

And yes, I named Ginny's employee after myself...I couldn't think of any other names. Sue me.

Ginny carried a large box of Sniveling Snack boxes from the back room to the front of the shop. It was near closing time on Sunday evening and she thought she'd take an opportunity to do a little restocking while the shop was quiet. She dropped the box in the aisle with a heavy sigh and brushed a strand of hair out of her face.

"Tina? Why don't you move some of the older boxes out of the way and we'll put the new ones behind them." She bent down and ripped open the box lid when she heard the door bell ring announcing a customer.

"Oh bloody hell." She muttered. "Can you go help them? Tina?" She repeated, turning to stare up at the teenaged girl. "What's wrong with you?" The girl's face had drained of all color and she was frozen in place.

Standing up, Ginny followed her gaze. She smiled to herself as she watched Lucius Malfoy stroll down an aisle, idly picking up an item and examining it carefully before placing it back on the shelf. He was dressed in black velvet robes and he looked elegant, intimidating, handsome and mouth watering.

"It's Lucius Malfoy." The teenaged girl hissed, both frightened and impressed. "He's a Death Eater."

"Former Death Eater." Ginny said, smoothing down her work robes. "And now he's a customer. You just go ahead and stock the shelves. I"ll help him."

Ginny tried not to laugh as her young employee breathed an audibly sigh of relief.

"I hope you know you just made one of my employee's almost wet her pants." She teased, walking up behind him.

"Did I?" He glanced over to where the teenager worked. "I often have the effect on young women. How are your pants by the way?" He leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"What are you doing here?" Ginny asked, deliberately ignoring his question.

"Ahhhh. No answer.. That tells me all I need to know." He chuckled.

"Gentleman? Remember?" Poking him playfully in the side.

Oh right. How could I forget. I was in Diagon Alley, doing a little shopping and I wanted to stop in, say 'hello', see where you work and invite you out for dinner this evening. Do you like German food?"

"Well. Hello." She said, smiling up at him. "This is where I work. I don't know, I'm not sure if I've eaten much German food." She watched him as he trailed down the aisle, examining each item and display carefully.

"There is a charming little restaurant on the Rhine that serves the most amazing Sauerbraten and potato dumplings. I thought we might go there this evening."

"To Germany?"

"Yes." He turned a corner and smiled wickedly at the products laid out in front of him. "Now this is the type of shopping I truly enjoy. Very ingenious." He said, looking over his shoulder at her. "I barely even felt the age restriction line."

Ginny blushed crimson as he surveyed the assortment of sex toys and intimate products, both muggle and magical. "George felt that was a better choice then hiding them in a backroom where customers might not see them." She whispered.

"And he's quite right. Very wise from a business stand point." Lucius agreed, reaching down and selecting a large sky blue vibrator. "Muggle?" He asked, holding it up to examine it.

Ginny nodded, reaching over to turn the base. Lucius laughed as it began to vibrate in his hand. "So cleaver those muggles. And it's my favorite color." He said, sliding his hand up and down the shaft. "This is something I think I could definitely enjoy." He muttered.

"For you or for me?" Ginny asked, her eyes wide.

Lucius twisted the base, stopping the vibration. He leaned over, his lips tickling the shell of her ear. "Both of us." He whispered softly. "Now, about dinner." He pulled himself up too his full height, a sexy smirk playing on his lips at her shocked expression. "Are you free?"

"Uhhmmm, yes." She stuttered, forcing her eyes away from the vibrator he still held in his hand. "Well I mean, I'm here until 5:00, but after..."

"Splendid." He said, "Why don't you apparate to the Manor around 7:00. Oh and how much for this?" He wiggled the vibrator in front of her face.

"Nothing." Her voice came out hoarse whisper, she cleared her throat and spoke again. "Nothing. Just take it. It's on the house."

Lucius Malfoy opened his outer robes and tucked the object away in an interior pocket. "Don't look so frightened Ginny." He leaned down and kissed her tenderly on the cheek. "Only when the time is right and only when you're ready."

"But what if I'm never ready?" She muttered softly.

"I don't believe in never." He laughed, as he turned and walked out of the store and onto the street.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucius greeted her warmly when she appeared outside of the manor promptly at 7:00. "Are you ready?" He asked, kissing her lightly on the cheek. "I hope you are hungry." He whispered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her and turned on his heel, disapparating them away.

"Lovely as ever." He whispered, removing her cloak from her shoulders. Ginny had chosen a simple black dress for the evening.

They were shown to a table with a stunning view of the Rhine river. Ginny grinned to herself as he again ordered for her and conversed with the waiter in German.

"German too?" Ginny teased. "How many languages do you speak?"

"Hmmmm." He said, running his finger across his bottom lip. "French, German, Polish, Russian, Romanian, Korean and Japanese."

"Wow." Ginny muttered, staring down at her fingers.

"I've found that it's very useful to be able to communicate in my business dealings."

"I can imagine." Ginny responded her voice quiet.

She remained quiet and subdued throughout the meal. After the dishes had been cleared away, Lucius turned to look down at her. "What's wrong. You've been so quiet all during dinner. Did you not like the food, the restaurant?"

"No." She said. "It's all so amazing. You know all the best restaurants, all the best foods, you speak 7 languages. Heck, I've barely mastered the King's English."

"8" He said, staring out at the river.

"Excuse me?"

"8. I speak 8 languages if you are including the King's English. But what does that have to do with anything Ginny?"

Ginny trailed her finger across the white linen table cloth. "I don't know. I'm just feeling horribly young and inexperienced."

"Why do I feel this has more to do with the item I removed from your shop today and not how many languages I speak?"

Ginny shrugged her shoulders and continued to stare at her fingers.

"Ginny, look at me." He said, turning sideways in seat. "My sexual partners level of experience isn't and has never been important to me. I did not mean to scare you or intimidate you this afternoon. I just get a little carried away at times. Please know I would never do anything to hurt you."

Ginny stared up into his beautiful gray eyes and could read the sincerity of his words. But there was something she had to know, had to ask and before she could stop herself she said it. "Did you know what was in the diary that day when you put it in my cauldron?" She watched as a haunted look crossed over his face and sorrow filled his eyes. He turned away from her and stared out the window, his face only visible to her in profile. As she watched his face she saw the muscle in his strong jaw flex and jump.

"No." He said, his voice coming out in a forced whisper.

"If you'd known, would you still have given it to me?"

Ginny felt his body tremble and watched as his hands began to shake. The muscle in his jaw was dancing frantically now. His eyes remained fixed ahead, staring out the window. Ginny knew what she was watching, she'd seen it before with her brothers. She was watching a strong and prideful man struggle to keep his composure; using every ounce of energy he possessed to hold back his tears.

"Yes." The the word came out in a half gasp, half sob that he quickly choked back. Every muscle in his body was rigid and trembling. He offered no apology and no explanation. None were necessary. They both knew he had done it to protect his only son and he would do it again and again, if that's what it took to keep Draco and his family safe. That did not mean he was proud of his actions. Ginny could feel the palpable waves of grief, guilt, remorse and self loathing rolling off him as each minute passed. She was surprised when he spoke again.

"There is something that I have always wondered though." He spoke so softly and with such effort she had to struggle to hear. "When you were with him, when you were alone with the Dark Lord. Did he...were you..." His voice broke.

"No." Ginny said firmly.

His shoulders jerked and he swallowed back a muffled sob. His gray eyes glistened with unshed tears. He was breathing heavily through his nose, his jaw tense.

"I don't remember a lot of what happened. But I was examined both physically and with legilimancy and it was confirmed, he never touched me. I just remember being scared and cold and wanting my Mum."

Ginny's heart ached as she watched him struggle so hard to contain his tears. She wanted to hug him or hold his hand, but she knew that would only make things worse. Her touch would only weaken the tremulous hold he had on his frayed emotions. So she decided to do the only thing she could do, give him a moment to himself so he could regain his composure.

"My."She sighed loudly. "That wine just went straight through me. I'm going to take a quick trip to the loo. I'll be right back.

He jerked his head to show that he had heard her, but continued to stare straight ahead. Leaving the table, Ginny located a waiter.

"Do you speak English." She asked hopefully.,

"Ya. Some."

"Good. Could you take that man there," she pointed to Lucius, "two shots of your strongest whiskey."

"Ya vhiskey." The waiter nodded.

"Make them doubles." Ginny added as she turned towards the lavatory.

Entering the tiny room she took her own moment to compose herself. Grabbing a paper towel she wet it and pressed it to her own tear reddened eyes. She knew he would never apologize, he couldn't, but the remorse and guilt he so obviously felt, said more to her then a million "I'm sorry's" ever could. Ginny took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Despite feeling both emotionally and physically drained, she also felt better then she had in a long time. The wound had been opened, the infection drained, and now it could finally heal. Checking her eyes in the mirror one more time, she opened the door and headed back to the table.

Sliding into the booth, she immediately noted the two empty glasses sitting in front of him. He turned to look at her, his face sad and tired. He held his hand out to her palm up. When she placed her hand in his, she felt his whole body relax. He laced his fingers with hers and gently rubbed his thumb across hers.

"The river is so beautiful." She murmured, staring out the window.

"There's a path. Would you like to walk for a while?"

"Oh can we?" She sat up eagerly. "That would be wonderful."

He nodded and slid out of the booth, pulling her to her feet. Reaching into his pocket he tossed a large handful of bills onto the table. With his hand still linked in hers, he led her out of the restaurant and down the steps to the walkway.

They held hands and walked in silence along the river. Glancing up at him, Ginny noticed tired lines etched across his face. Stopping, she stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.

"What was that for?" He asked, when she had released him.

"Just because."

"Mmmmm." He grunted, leaning down to press his lips to hers. The loud ringing of his mobile stopped him. "I haven't decided if this thing is a blessing or a curse." He said fishing it out of his pocket. "Malfoy."

Ginny watched with fascination as he transitioned in to "Lucius Malfoy, Entrepreneur". He paced back and forth, listening to the person on the other end.

"Uh huh."

"Uh huh."

"Uh huh." He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Well that does sound like a problem. I can be there tomorrow. Please call and arrange for a port key to be delivered to the manor no later the 8:00 am and please tell Mr. Nakamura that I would like to meet with him and the other investors at 9:30."

"Uh huh."

"I'll review it when I get there. I'd like to expedite this matter. I want to be back in London no later then Thursday."

"Alright. I'll see you then." He hung up the phone and turned to face her.

"Sounds like you're taking a trip." She teased.

"Japan. There's an emergency situation with one of my investment properties. Hopefully I'll be able to resolve the issue and be back by the weekend. If it's alright with you, I need to return to the manor. There are some documents I need to review before the morning."

"Of course it's alright." She said, stepping up and wrapping her arms around him. "It's getting late anyway and I'm opening the store tomorrow."

Pulling her tight to his chest, he turned on his heel, apparating them directly into the foyer.

"I'll try to call you while I'm away, if not I'll call you as soon as I return. I'll miss you." He said leaning down and kissing her on the top of the head.

"I'll miss you too. Be safe. Oh Lucius?" She called out to him as she stepped into the fireplace. "You said experience didn't matter to you in a lover. But what does matter?"

"Enthusiasm." A warm smile brightened his face for the first time in hours.

"Oh." She said, her face puzzled. "Good night." She dropped the floo powder and moments later stepped down the hall to her bedroom.

Exhausted, Ginny was almost asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. She smiled as her mobile chimed announcing a message.

"Good night my beautiful Ginny. I wish you only sweet dreams. I'll talk to you soon."

She drifted off to sleep with her phone still clutched in her hand.
