Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I'm not making money off of this, its
merely for fun. I got the idea from reading "Keeping Faith" by Janice
Macdonald. It's a great book, and if ur a romance novel freak, read it! I
don't own that either, by the way.
A/N: Hi! This story won't go exactly how the book "Keeping Faith" did, because I don't want it to. Just enjoy the story. Read and review!
Summary (from Ginny's POV) : Ten years ago I fell in love. With my family's worst enemy. Ten years ago, I fell in love with Draco Malfoy, and he fell in love with me. Nine and one-half years ago I married Draco Malfoy, who is a famous singer. Nine years ago, I left Draco Malfoy after a fight, and divorced him two weeks later. Six months after that, I gave birth to Draco's daughter. Now, eight and a half years later, he's back, and I don't know what to do.
*****************************
Ginny Weasley walked down the stairs in her parent's home in Vertic Alley. They had moved out of the Burrow ten years ago when the war was over and Arthur was appointed Minister of Magic. Ginny was halfway down the stairs when she tripped over some of her seven year old daughter's toys. Ginny landed at the bottom of the staircase on her back with a "thud".
"Damnit!" She screamed, closing her eyes and laying there. 'Today will be hell. I can see it already.' She thought to herself.
"Mummy?" Ginny opened her eyes to see her daughter standing over her.
"Hi sweetie."
"You said a bad word." Her daughter scolded.
"Mummy's sorry. She tripped on the stairs. Do you know what mummy tripped over?" Ginny asked, and her daughter shook her head no. "I tripped over your toys. Now, Destiny, what have I told you about your toys?" "I'm sorry, mummy. I'll take them to my room right now." Destiny stepped over Ginny and pranced up the stairs, picking up her toys on the way, and went into her room.
Ginny picked herself up off of the floor and went into the kitchen in her parent's house. Walking over to the table, Ginny grabbed a muffin and ripped it in half.
"Good morning Gin." Hermione walked down the stairs and greeted Ginny.
"Morning." Ginny grumbled.
"Whoa. Someone's grumpy." Hermione smiled at her sister-in-law while sitting in a chair..
"It's going to be a bad day. I can tell already." Ginny sighed, collapsing in a chair beside Hermione.
"Ok, whats wrong? Is it Harry?" Hermione asked Ginny, and the look on her sister's face gave it away. "Goddess. What did he do this time?"
"Nothing really. It's just.. I don't know. Mum and dad love Harry, and are already planning for me to marry him, but I don't love Harry. I can't marry someone I don't love. Every time we go out, he moves the conversation towards marriage, but then I move it away from it, and.. I don't know. He's great with Destiny, and Destiny likes him, and she gets along with Shawn great, and everybody expects me to marry Harry, but, I can't. I don't want to." Ginny sighed, nibbling on her muffin.
"Sorry." Hermione said. "I can't help you out there. I'm just now getting back into dating again." Hermione said. She had been married to Ron, but he was killed during the war, and Hermione had decided that it was time to start dating again.
"You can have Harry." Ginny mumbled.
"No I can't. Everyone wants you to marry him. If I took off with him, what would everyone think?" Hermione said.
"Everyone wants me to marry him. Well, I don't want to! Why doesn't anyone ever ask what I want?" Ginny looked at her sister.
"Well, Ginny, what do you want?"
Ginny didn't answer, she just finished her muffin, and walked back up to her room.
"You didn't answer me Ginny." Hermione said softly as Ginny's door slammed shut.
********************************
"Ginny! Hi." Harry said, as he spotted Ginny and Destiny in Diagon Alley, while he was there with Shawn.
"Hey guys." Ginny said, looking at Harry and his son.
"What are you doing here?" Harry grinned at her.
"Shopping." Ginny said. 'Duh! What else would I be doing here?' Ginny thought to herself.
"Of course. Shawn and I were just headed over to that new restaurant that opened, uh, Contillo's. Want to join us?"
"Um, Harry, I really don't think-" Ginny started.
"Of course we would!" Destiny shouted excitedly.
"Ok. I guess we're coming then."
*****************************
"Ginny, can I talk to you for a minute?" Harry asked nervously as he dropped Destiny and Ginny off at the Weasley's.
"Uhm, yeah. Sure." Ginny said. "Go on inside Destiny. I'll be inside in a minute." Destiny scurried inside.
"Go on inside a minute, Shawn." Shawn ran after Destiny.
"So, what'd you want to talk about?" Ginny asked Harry. "Uh, well, Ginny, look, we've been dating for 6 months now." Harry started.
"Yeah, I know."
"Well, Ginny, I.. I can't imagine my life without you. I need you there, and Shawn needs you there. I, uh, guess what I'm trying to say is.. Well, Ginny, uh," Harry knelt down in front of Ginny. "will you marry me?"
"Oh, goddess. Harry, I'm sorry, but I can't marry you." Ginny sighed, 'Why me?'
"O-Oh. Alright." Harry said, and he followed Ginny into the house.
"Shawn, we're going." He said emotionlessly, and turned and walked out of the door, his son trailing him.
"Virginia Weasley, what the hell is wrong with you?!" Molly shouted at her daughter when she walked into the kitchen.
"Nothing. Why?"
"Harry asked you to marry him and you said no?!" Molly shouted at her daughter.
"Ugh! Mother, it's my life! I don't love Harry!" Ginny screamed.
"Of course, forgive me. You don't love Harry. You're still pining over that Death Eater who got you pregnant and left!" Molly screamed back.
"Ha. Shows how much you know about Draco. You know what mother? I hope you're happy." Ginny said, going to her room which was joined with Destiny's room and packed up her and Destiny's things with a flick of her wand. Walking over to the fireplace in her room, Ginny flooed away...
*******************************
"Destiny? Come on, we're going." Ginny said, returning back to her room an hour later, and walking in to her daughter's room.
"Mummy, wh is all of our stuff packed up?" Destiny asked her mother with a puzzled expression. "We're going away, Destiny. Now, come on." Ginny quickly shrunk all of their things and placed them in her pocket, then grabbed her daughter's hand and walked back into her room. Ginny and Destiny walked over to the fireplace. Grabbing a handful of floo powder, Ginny threw it in the fireplace, then stepped in, Destiny still holding her hand, and shouted "Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore's office!" and with that, Ginny and Destiny were gone.
*****************************
"Ah, Miss Weasley. I am most pleased that you decided to come work with us." Dumbledore said on when Ginny and Destiny stepped out of the fireplace in his office.
"Yes, well, we needed a change. And I don't like imposing on my parents all the time." Ginny said.
*****************************
"These will be you and Destiny's chambers." McGonagall said, smiling at her former student and her daughter.
"Thank you Professor."
"The password has not been set yet, you can make it whatever you wish for it to be." With that, McGonagall left for Ginny and Destiny to get acquainted.
Ginny walked in the room and gasped at the furnishings. 'How did Dumbledore know how to do up my room?' Ginny thought to herself, looking around the black, silver, and red room. Ginny took her stuff out of her pocket, unshrank it, and quickly put it away, then walked out and crossed the hall to her daughter's room. Ginny got out Destiny's stuff, unshrank it, and arranged it in the room, then left her daughter to get used to her new surroundings as Ginny went to look around the school.
"Ah! Excuse me! MOVE!" A fifth year girl, being chased by a sixth year boy, came running out of nowhere, shouting for Ginny to move.
"Sorry." Ginny moved quickly out of the way. 'Wait. Why are they here? No students are supposed to be here for another two weeks.' Ginny thought to herself. 'Oh, that's right. Professor Dumbledore said that they stay here over the summer because their parents are dead. I wonder where all of the others are.' Ginny thought, but quickly dismissed it as someone tapped her one the shoulder. "Yes?" Ginny turned around and her breath caught.
"School started earlier. Everyone arrived today. Are you alright?" The person asked.
Ginny just looked on in shock. 'Platinum blonde hair, the height, the built, the voice, the blue-grey eyes. Oh goddess, the eyes. Draco?' Ginny thought to herself, still in shock. "D-Draco?" She asked, unsure.
"Oh. No. Darrien McPhee. I'm the new Astronomy teacher. My classroom is right across from the stairs leading to the Astronomy Tower." Darrien explained, sticking out his hand.
'I'd sure like to take him to the Astronomy Tower... GINNY!' Ginny scolded herself before replying. "Ginny Weasley. Potions professor." Ginny smiled, taking his hand.
"So... Who's Draco?" Darrien asked, wanting to get to know more about Ginny.
"He's, uh.. Well, he's my ex-husband." Ginny said.
"Oh."
"So, uh, you're about 27, 28 right?"
"Yeah. Why?" Darrien said.
"I'm 26. Did you graduate from Hogwarts?" Ginny asked.
"No. I'm from Beauxbatons. Why?"
"Draco Malfoy was well-known around Hogwarts, and still is well known around the wizarding world."
"Wait. Draco MALFOY?! You've got to be kidding!"
"Nope. I divorced him because his career got in the way of our marriage, and I was tired of it."
"Wow." Darrien said. Ginny looked down at her magical watch which read "dinner time".
"Oh, it's time for dinner. I've got to go get Destiny and go to the Great Hall." Ginny turned and started walking the other way, and before long, Darrien fell into step beside her.
Ginny came to a stop in front of a door shortly after they started walking, and she turned and walked in the room.
"Desi? Desi? Destiny!?" Ginny yelled for her daughter, not seeing her in her room.
"Yes mummy?" Ginny walked over to the bed, crouched down, and lifted up the bedding to peek under. "Destiny, why are you under the bed?"
"I'm looking around."
"Under the bed?"
"Well mummy, you never know what could be hiding under there." Destiny said, quoting her mother from many times before.
"Get up, dinner time." Ginny said, scooping up her daughter when crawled from under the bed, and Ginny, Destiny, and Darrien all walked off to the Great Hall.
