Author's Notes: Draco and Ginny's relationship is already established here
but none of the others, except for Dumbledore and Snape knows about it.
The story is set around 2 years after Ginny's graduation from Hogwarts.
That means Draco, Harry, Ron and Hermione are 20 and Ginny, 19. (I know, I
know, kinda easy to figure that one out, but there are some, no offense,
who still ask me the how old are they exactly question.)
Love Mixed with Pain
Prologue:
"Father," Draco said. Knowing fully well that the man hiding among the shadows was Lucius Malfoy.
"Why have you come my son?" He asked sarcastically.
"Hard to believe, even by myself, but I'm here to take you back and ask you to surrender."
Lucius snorted, "Have you gone insane?"
"No father, I just thought that since you never told Voldemort that I was betraying him that you were actually moral."
"I ask you again, have you gone insane?" He chuckled. "I only did that because that b**** you call your mother threatened to kill the babe that she is carrying." Stepping out of the shadows he continued, " Your sister would have been the Dark Lord's bride and I would have been given powers that rivaled the Lord himself. I would have been killed if she were not kept safe. I had plans my boy, big ones."
"Sister? You bloody, selfish prat. How dare you --- "
"You have boldness coming after me. You dared to defy me and now you shall pay. You shall always remember this my dear boy. Because of your traitorous act you shall regret having gone against the Dark Lord's wishes. Never again shall you experience true happiness. I curse everything you cherish and hold most dear to your heart. Your love shall always bring about pain."
And with those parting words, Lucius Malfoy disappeared into the darkness.
"What the hell did he mean by that?" Draco stared at the spot where his father last stood. "Lucius, you coward!"

The sky was clearer than any other night was. Stars were sparkling majestically against the velvety midnight black sky. Ginny sat beside Hermione and were both staring upwards. They were pointing out star patterns and planets that they recognized. They acted as if they were having an Astronomy lesson and had a star chart fill out.
"I'm so glad all of this finally over." Hermione said, tilting her head towards the redhead beside her. "It's like a great weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and off the world."
Ginny let out a sigh of relief and nodded her head. Draco still hasn't come back from his search of his father and she was beginning to worry. I hope he comes back soon. I want to hold him in my arms and relish every moment with him.
She stood up and turned to Hermione, "I'm going to see if someone needs something. I just can't sit here and do nothing while I wait." Her friend in turn just smiled and continued to stare at the stars that seemed to rejoice their deserved victory.
As she was walking towards Harry and Ron to ask if she could be of some assistance to anything, a sharp pain shot through her belly. The pain was so bad that she lost her balance and fell to the ground. The world around her started to spin, and she could barely keep her eyes open with all the pain and dizziness that whatever was happening to her was causing.
"Dear, what was that?" Hermione started ask Ginny but the sight that she saw cut her off. The latter was sprawled on the floor, an arm draped over her abdomen, her face strewn in pain, and seemingly she was slowly going into unconsciousness. The young witch hurried to her side and prayed that she would be all right, both Harry and Ron following suit.

Author's Note (part 2): I can't say that I haven't had my share of using curse words but at the moment of writing this fic my head blanked out and just managed to call Lucius a prat. *gags* Recommendations are welcomed.
