Safe House

Disclaimer:

Well unfortunately, I do not own any part of this story that you recognise. However, If you don't it is completely and utterly mine.

Possibly

They sat at the kitchen table, simply looking at each other. They knew they were going to have the same conversation that they always did, and they both knew it would end the same way. Neither wanted to begin, but they both knew it was evitable. Eventually she sighed and told him that she knows why he missed their son's birthday party. He starts shouting, accusing her of spying on him. She only flinched when he threw the bowl across the room and causing it to shatter against the cabinet.

Two faces appeared in the doorway, one, the eldest, who looks just like the man screaming and shouting at her, complete with the messy black hair and sparkling emerald green eyes. The other, has his Mother's red hair mixed with his Father's blonde, freckles are spattered across his face but his eyes belong solely to his father.

She spokes quietly and calmly telling her sons to return upstairs, offering them a small smile. They looked hesitantly at their mother, before the eldest boy pulled his brother away. The father, is now leaning against the back of the chair, breathing heavily, red in the face. He roughly tells her that he is going out. Only once she has heard the door slam shut and the tell tale crack of apparition, does she break down and allow her self to cry.

The eldest boy returned, carrying a small suitcase. He knew what happened when his parents fought. He knew the routine. He knew his father won't return for two days at least. He knew where they're were going now, he prefers that home to this one, he wishes the man there was his real dad and not the man who shouts and screams at his Mum.

"Mum? I packed mine and Matthew's suitcase. Shall I go get him now?" She looked to her eldest son and smiled, wiping the tears away. " No its ok I'll go get him William, you could go and find the floo powder for me though. Keep away from the glass, I'll get one of the house elves to clear it up in a moment." The young boy nodded and walked toward the store cupboard. She rose from her chair heading to her youngest son's room.

In the hallway, she paused. A photograph caught her attention, It had been taken a day after William was born ten years ago. He was cradled in her arms, her long red hair clenched in his tiny fist. His father gazed down through his glasses at his young family and occasionally kissed her forehead. Her duplicate would then look up at her husband and smile before going back to cooing over her newborn son.

She couldn't remember when her family was actually like this. This was just an image that had been real in the moment ,now, it was simply fiction. She walks on, a little faster up the stairs. When she reached Matthew's room she scooped the toddler into her arms and presses a motherly kiss to the vibrant strawberry hair positioned upon his head.

She returned to the kitchen, and called for her eldest son. William returned and handed her the blue ceramic pot, holding the powder. She thanked him, taking a handful and throwing it into the fire. She placed his free hand into her own, before shouting out their destination.

A house elf greeted them, and took the suitcase from William's hand. She lead her sons into the living area, where she knew he was waiting for them. The wards had alerted him to their presence. He stood in front of the window, arms clasped behind his back. Even with his back turned his looked as regal and important as he did whilst they were still at school. His white-blonde hair glistening in the sunlight. He asked the same question every time she came, and this visit was no different.

"Why don't you just leave him, Ginevra?"

and she always gave him the same reply,

"You know as well as I do, its not as easy as that, Draco" That is all that is ever said on the matter.

A/N: This is my latest work in progress I'm guessing it will be about three or four chapters long depending on the reviews receive. This will be the shortest chapter. Harry's behaviour will be explained as will Ginny's friendship with Draco. Leave me a review if you are intrigued by the story start!! Thank you :)

Also if you come up with a better title let me know!!

Review please!!!
