Prologue
"Gin! It's over! He's gone!" Draco Malfoy yelled, as he ran into his flat. "What? What are you talking about?" asked an exhausted Ginny Weasley. "What do you mean, what am I talking about? You-Know-Who's gone! He's dead!" "Really? The war's over?" Ginny said, letting the feelings of joy wash over her. "Is it really, finally over?" "Yes, Gin! Isn't it amazing? Harry's done it! He almost killed himself in the process, but he's done it!" "Is Harry alright?" Ginny asked, suddenly worried. Harry Potter had been one of her best friends and Hogwarts, the wizard school in England. She'd hardly seen him since the war had really started, at the end of her seventh and final year at school. "Yes! He's fine! He, Cho and their son, Sirius are staying with your parents until everything calms down, and he can get a flat, but he's perfectly fine!" "What did you say? He's staying with my parents?" "Yes!" He paused, and looked at Ginny. Her face had gone pale, and she looked more worried then she ever had during the war. "Gin? What's wrong? You look terrible!" "Oh, Draco! I've just remembered! We haven't told my parents about.you know.us! They'll be furious! Especially after-you know-what your parents did to Bill and Charlie! They good as killed them, and my family and yours have been at each other's throats for.well, for centuries to say the least! They won't understand at all!" "Don't worry Ginny." Draco said, holding her close to him. "We'll talk to them tomorrow. Everything will work out.somehow."

The next morning, Draco and Ginny Apparated to the Burrow. They weren't sure what to expect. Molly Weasley was usually an understanding person, but, sometimes, she couldn't forgive, let alone forget. Ginny slowly walked up to the door, but before she could even knock, the door was flung open. "Ginny! You're alive! We all thought you were dead! It's been so long! Too long! So many people were killed, and tortured!" Molly Weasley said, before noticing Draco, standing a few feet behind Ginny. "Ah, and who is this, dear?" "Ginny glanced back at Draco, before she spoke. "Well, Mum, this is Draco Malfoy." "Ah, very go-WHAT?!?" she yelled, as she realized who he was. "A MALFOY?!? IN OUR HOUSE?!? HOW DARE YOU BRING HIM IN HERE?!? AND, EVEN AFTER BILL AND CHARLIE!" "Mum! He's changed! He's not like he was before! He's not like his parents!" Ginny cried, tears streaming down her face. "He's kept me safe, all through the war!" "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT HIM! YOU DISGRACE OUR FAMILY, EVEN JUST LETTING HIM ON THE DOORSTEP! LEAVE NOW! LIVE AS A MUGGLE FOR ALL I CARE! I NEVER WANT TO HEAR YOUR NAME IN MY HOUSE AGAIN!" Molly Weasley slammed the door shut, in Ginny's face. "Oh, Draco! What are we going to do? I can't ever show my face in the wizarding world again!" "Don't worry, Ginny." Draco replied. "Everything will work out."
Chapter One: The Letter
"Mom! The mail's here! Mom? Where are you?" yelled 11 year old Geoff Malfoy. "In a minute! Please be patient!" replied his mother, Ginny Malfoy. Ginny was fairly tall, with long, red hair, and dark brown eyes, that had once held a special sparkle, that she had once been well known for. "Mom! There's a letter here for me! It says Geoffrey Malfoy, the front door, 376 Peters Avenue, Winkler, Manitoba, Canada! Can I open it, Mom? Can I?" "Please Geoff, let me see it first." "Okay. Geoff said, handing the letter to his mother. Ginny took the letter immediately recognizing the writing in emerald green ink. "Geoff, dear, let's wait until you father gets home." "Okay." Geoff said, sounding disappointed. He wanted to know who had sent the letter, and why they said, "The Front Door", instead of just the address. He watched his mother wander into the kitchen, sit down, and stare at the letter. He went up to his room. Geoff spent the rest of the day, waiting at his bedroom window, for his father to get home from work. He looked at his reflection in the glass. The short, bright red hair, that he had from his mother, and the cool, gray eyes, that he had from his father. Geoff had never met the rest of his family. He had been told that they lived in England, where his parent had lived before moving to Canada, a few months before he was born. They rarely spoke of their family, friends, and past lives, and Geoff had never received as much as a Christmas card from his grandparents, or anyone else in his family, for that matter. He wasn't even sure if they knew he existed. Several hours later, Geoff heard the familiar sound of his father's car pulling into the driveway. He looked up, and ran downstairs, and outside as fast as he possibly could almost tripping over the empty, over-sized bird cage that had been in the entrance hall, for as long and Geoff could remember. "Dad! Dad! Mom and I need to talk to you! I got a letter from someone today, and she won't let me open it until she talks to you! Hurry up Dad!" Geoff said, pulling his father, Draco Malfoy into the house. Draco had light blonde hair and cool gray eyes, that had softened from a dark, cold gray into a much lighter, happier color, around the time that Geoff had been born. Geoff pulled his father into the kitchen, and to the counter, where Ginny had sat all day, staring at the letter. "Oh, Draco! They've found us!" She said, when she saw him. "It's from them! What are we going to do? We can't ignore it! Remember what happened when Harry's uncle tried that? We can't go back either though!" Draco walked over the look at the letter. "Well, I suppose we'll have to let him read it, at least. I'll go get my.you know." He said, waving a pen in the air. Ginny nodded, and gave Geoff the letter. "Well, Geoff, go ahead and open the letter. I see your father and I have a bit of explaining to do." Geoff carefully opened the envelope, and pulled out two sheets of paper. He looked up at his mother. "Go ahead! Read them!" She said. "Alright then, it says, dear Mr. Malfoy. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment." Geoff stopped reading. "Mom? Is this real? Am I really a wizard?" "Yes dear. Now, go ahead and read the list! I'm sure you'll find it interesting!" "Okay. It says I need three sets of plain work robes, one plain pointed hat, one pair of protective gloves.dragon hide? So dragons are real?" "Yes, I'm afraid they are. They're not the most pleasant creatures, but they aren't as bad as the giants.Blast-Ended Skrewts are pretty awful too." Geoff looked at his mother in disbelief. "All right, dear. Skip to the equipment list." "Okay, I need a cauldron, a set of glass or crystal phials, a telescope, a set of brass scales, and-" "Accio, letter!" Said a voice from behind Geoff. His letter flew out of his hands, and he turned around to see his father wearing something that looked like a dark green dress, and holding the letter, and a dusty, wooden stick that looked to be about a foot long. "Ah, yes! One wand, I believe." "Dad?!? How did you do that?" Lots of practice!" Draco replied, laughing. "You mean, you're a wizard, and you never told me?" "Well, Geoff, your mother is just as guilty. You see, she's a witch. Geoff, please don't be mad! Your mother and I wanted to tell you, but we didn't want to blow our cover. Apparently, we didn't have one in the first place. Now, Ginny, I never wanted to say this, but we have to go back. I can get a portkey from the Ministry here. If you help Geoff pack, we can leave tomorrow.
A/N well, R/R and I'll add more chapters!!! Sry that it's so short, but I'm just getting started on it! I'll try and get the chapters longer!!!
Oh, and all I own is the plot, and some of the new characters!! (you'll meet more later) Everything else I belongs to J.K. Rowling
