Chapter two
Draco was sitting in the parlor with his mother, and son, after dinner. "Bryson," he called the attention of his son.
"Yes Daddy," said Bryson looking up from his blocks.
"Which of the ladies that came today did you like the most," he asked.
"I like the lady with the red hair," he supplied to his father.
"Why is that son?"
"She was really nice, she wasn't old and mean looking," said the young boy, going back to playing with his toys.
"What was her name dear," asked Narcissa.
"Ginevra Weasley," said Draco.
"Really, I am shocked that she is a governess," she said looking deep in thought.
Draco wasn't shocked at all really. "She is a very smart and talented witch from what I remember. Her last job as for 2 years. The family decided to move to Italy, she didn't feel comfortable moving that far away." He told his mother.
"Then she has experience, do you think she would be right for the job?" asked his mother.
"I think it is just what he needs mother," said Draco.
'Maybe you to in time son' Narcissa thought to herself. She knew that Draco wasn't interested in looking, just loosing his wife. But, she didn't want him to mourn forever. She knew that the Weasley's were a very close family. Having just lost his mother Bryson needed someone other then her and Draco. "Have you sent her an owl yet letting her know that she has the job?"
"I didn't say she did, mother," said Draco.
"You just said it was what he needs," said Narcissa.
"She was the best one out of them all today. The rest of them looked as if you sneezed they would die," said Draco.
"Draco, you shouldn't say things like that," exclaimed Narcissa. She shook her head at her son.
Draco just smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "I will go write Miss. Weasley now. Stay with Grandma son, I will be back shortly." said Draco walking out of the room.
He was now sitting in his study rereading his letter:
Miss. Weasley,
I have decided that you would be the best for the job. Let me be the first to welcome you. I would like you to be here at the Manor Sunday, so that I can take you to your new home, for the duration of your employment. Bryson is looking forward to getting to know you. Be at the Manor at Noon.
Thank You,
Draco Malfoy
Draco nodded to himself and then sent it off with his owl. Once that was over he went back to the parlor to play with his son. About an hour later Draco took Bryson to get ready for bed. Once in bed he kissed his son and went to walk out.
"Daddy when our we going to our new house?" asked Bryson.
"We will be going Sunday just after lunch," said Draco.
"Will Miss. Weasley be coming to stay with us?" Bryson asked his father tiredly.
"Yes son, now you get some sleep," with that said Draco left the room.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Ginny was getting ready for bed when she heard a tap at the window. She walked over and opened the window. In flew the most beautiful black and white eagle owl, said owl held out it's leg to her. She took the parchment from the owl, patted it's head ,and then it flew off. She opened the parchment and read it, her face brightened at once. She ran down to the kitchen where her mother and father were sitting at the table. She stood there smiling and waving the letter around.
"Gin-bug, is everything alright?" asked her father.
"Never been better," said Ginny "Here read it for yourself dad," said Ginny handing him the paper.
"Congratulations dear, I am sure you will enjoy the job. He only have the one son , I take it." asked her father handing the letter to his wife.
"Yes and he is just the cutest thing dad. I can't wait to start a one on one job. I can teach him so much," said Ginny.
"I am so happy for you Ginny. Was Mr. Malfoy pleasant when you meet him?" asked Molly.
"Yes he was very nice, no snide remarks or anything," said Ginny.
"Well, I guess you will be packing your things tomorrow then," said her father.
"I guess I will. You have no worries with this dad?" asked Ginny.
"Actually no I don't. I have talked to Draco a few times when he has come to the ministry. He just lost his wife, Pansy told Harry that Draco is still in shock at how sudden it happened." Arthur explained his lack of worry.
"What happened to her dear," asked Molly.
"She came down ill and it just weakened her, that is all I know." said Arthur.
"That is so sad," Ginny said "I had no idea I just thought that his mother was busy or something."
"He has changed now that his family is free from the Dark Lord, like everyone," said Arthur.
"He has had a lot of changes he lost his father in the war. That would change anyone, one way or another." Ginny said looking at the table top.
"How about after breakfast I can help you pack, then we can cook dinner together," her mother asked changing the subject. No one liked to talk about the war anymore it was all in the past.
"Sounds great mom, I am going to bed now, Good Night," she said giving them both hugs.
"Night Gin-Bug," Arthur said watching her walk away.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Draco woke with a start when he heard someone yell his name. "Wha is it Mate," asked Draco.
"I want you to take me fly daddy," said Bryson.
"Can we have breakfast first?" asked Draco.
"Ok," said Bryson, walking out of his fathers room.
Draco just laid there shaking his head for a minute then got up to start his day. Draco had changed since his school days, he stood about 6'2, broad built, muscular, he didn't have the pointy face any longer. His hair was short but not to short, and a little lighter then in school. He wasn't as white as he was then either. He was a little tan from spending time outside with his son. Even married he still got checked out, which was nice. He put on a black short sleeve shirt and a pair of tan trousers, slid his shoes on and was out the door to find his son.
"Let eat daddy so we can go out and play," said Bryson.
His son talked well, for a 3 year old. He had a few things to learn like adding things to the end of words. His mother had worked with him a lot, teaching him even when he didn't know he was being taught. "Alright, what are we having," he asked.
"Eggs and toast, daddy," said Bryson.
"Eggs and toast it is," said Draco nodding to the elf that was waiting for confirmation. After they ate they headed outside. "You want to fly for a while?" he asked his son.
"Pwease daddy," he said looking hopeful.
"Alright mate, lets go," said Draco summoning his broom. Once they were settled on the broom Draco leant over and told his son "Hold on to the broom tight, ok."
"Ok daddy," Bryson said smiling.
"You be careful, Draco, he might let go," said Narcissa. She would kill her son if something happened to her grandson. She didn't like the idea of Draco taking him up. 'He was to small' she would tell him all the time.
"Don't worry mother, I have him," said Draco.
The two stayed in the air for about half an hour, before they finally came back down. They spent the day outdoors since it was a nice cool day. Spring was just starting to set in, so it was nice out.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Ginny woke to smell her mother cooking breakfast. She set about getting dressed for the day. She picked out a pair of jeans and a red tee shirt. She was about 5'9, slim curves where needed, hair to the middle of her back. She had finally matured in her 7th year, she thought maybe she would always be the same. She was a short stick in 6th year and a mature woman in 7th. She had went out with 2 guys since school and they were both bad ideas. The first one was not long after school she didn't him for a year. His name was Jason and he didn't like the idea of Ginny going to a university. She was determined to have a career and he didn't like that. The second guy was someone that she meet at her school, Brian. He was everything that Ginny thought she wanted. He was sweet and charming, he helped and supported her 100. The only problem was when she started to look for a job he was looking to move. He just assumed that she would come with him. Ginny's family meant everything to her and he didn't understand that. So they split. Ginny had a saying 'If it is meant to happen, it will happen on it's own'. She stood by that, if it was meant to be it will come on it's own time, she wasn't a hunter.
"Gin-Bug breakfast is done," called her mom.
"Coming Mom," said Ginny walking down the stairs.
After Breakfast they started packing all of Ginny's stuff that she would need to take with her. The rest she packed up and sat in the corner of the room, so that the room could be used for guest. Once they were done they headed down to start cleaning for everyone that was coming to dinner. Tonight it would be Pansy, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and there kids Brent 5 years old, and Abby 2 years old. After they were done cleaning they started on dinner, around 5:00 Pansy and Harry showed up.
"Gin, can I have a word, outside please?" asked Pansy.
"Sure Pans," said Ginny. "What do you need to talk to me about," asked Ginny once they were outside.
"I just wanted to thank you for talking to Harry, he told me about you hitting him the other morning," said Pansy.
"It was my pleasure, Pans. You know how I feel about Harry spending more time with you. I am glad that you wanted to talk. I wanted to tell you separate from the rest. I am going to be working for Draco." said Ginny.
"Really? You are the governess he picked? He didn't tell me." said Pansy.
"I found out last night. I start officially Monday, but I have to meet him at the Manor tomorrow at noon. He is going to take me to his house, so that I can get settled."
"You are going to love it, Ginny. Bryson is a great boy. He doesn't understand what has happened to his mother. Draco is lucky that he is still a little to young to understand." said Pansy.
"Dad told me last night. That is so sad, I am glad that I know now. I would have made a total fool out of myself if I had asked about her." said Ginny.
"You and Draco will get along fine, he has changed a lot from his school days."
"I hope so, much nicer to work without the stress." Ginny said smiling at her. "So how is the baby," Ginny asked putting her hand on Pansy's belly. The minute she touched it the baby started moving.
"Don't tell Harry that you felt that," said Pansy giggling. "The baby only moves like that for me and you."
Ginny bent her head to Pansy's tummy, "That's because you know your mommy and Aunt Ginny love you the most . Isn't that right little one," said Ginny. The baby was rolling all around after that. "Maybe if you run in there Harry will catch it."
"You think," with that they walked in. Pansy silently walked over to Harry grabbed his hand and put it to her stomach. The second before his hand touch the baby stopped. "Never mind," said Pansy dropping his hand. Ginny and Pansy both laughed and walked away from Harry.
Harry looked at the girls walking out of the room like they were nuts. "What ever that was about," stated Harry shaking his head.
"The baby moves for no one, but Ginny and Pansy. Haven't you figured that out Harry." said Arthur.
"How do you know that?" asked Harry.
"When Molly was pregnant with Ginny it was the same. I never felt her move tell the last month. Molly, Bill, and Charlie were the only ones that she would move for. Don't feel bad Gin-Bug is daddies girl so you have no worries," stated Arthur.
"It's no fair," Harry mumbled sitting down at the table. Arthur just shook his head and laughed at Harry's expense.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
Once Dinner was over Ginny stood up and cleared her throat. "I am glad all of you are here, I have good news to share. I have already found another job. I will be starting Monday, but I will be settling in tomorrow afternoon," said Ginny.
Everyone clapped and Congratulated her, until Ron spoke up. "What family Gin?"
"Draco Malfoy," said Ginny very calmly. Her brother never talked about the Malfoys, so she didn't know how he would react.
Ron sat there a second and then started laughing. "I know what you are thinking, I don't still hate Draco Malfoy. I am not going to become his best friend, but everything is fine. I feel bad for the bloke he just lost his wife. I just want you to tell me if anything goes wrong, ok little sis."
"You will be the second to know," said Ginny.
"The first?" asked Ron.
"My daddy," Ginny answered with a shrug. Mr. Weasley beamed at this.
Ginny went to bed shortly after everyone left. She was going to have a exciting day tomorrow and she couldn't wait. She loved to be around kids, and couldn't wait tell she had her own.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
IT was 11:55 when Ginny arrived at the Manor on Sunday. She knocked on the door and the elf let her in the house, took her bags, and showed her to the dining room.
"Miss. Weasley, I take it," said Narcissa.
"Yes Ma'am," said Ginny.
"Oh nonsense, call me Narcissa. I am not your boss," said Narcissa.
"Alright Narcissa, then you may call me Ginny."
"Have you had lunch?" asked Narcissa.
"No, I had a late breakfast, and I wanted to get here on time."
"Please sit and join us, Draco and Bryson will be in soon. They have been out riding this morning, they had to get washed up." explained Narcissa.
"Thank you, I would love to." said Ginny.
Draco and Bryson walked in right after Ginny sat down. "Ginny you are here, I am sorry I wasn't here in time to greet you," said Draco.
"It is quite alright I was a little early, your mother greeted me just fine." she said smiling at him.
"Thank you mother, We will leave as soon as we are done eating. Bryson is ready to see his new home," explained Draco.
"That is fine, you wouldn't mind if I asked you a question would you," asked Ginny.
"Not at all," said Draco.
"Do you want him to have a proper gentleman's lesson?" asked Ginny.
"Of course, I want him to learn it, and when it is proper to do what." said Draco looking at her questionly.
"Would you mind if I watch and test him some during lunch," she asked.
"Please do," said Draco.
Lunch arrived and they ate and carried on conversation with ease. All of the sudden Ginny stood up, keeping her eyes on Bryson. She saw Draco rise as soon as he noticed her standing. Bryson looked at her and his father for a second then went back to eating. Ginny grinned and sat down, she looked at Draco and smiled and he took his seat. Narcissa new then that Draco had made the right decision picking this young lady. Once lunch was over they had all the bags sent to the house and they flooed to the house.
Ginny was in awe at the house. It wasn't as big as the Manor, but it was beautiful and had it's own elegance about it. It was a 2 story house. Living room, kitchen, dinning room, and Half bath down stairs. 4 Bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, Draco's study, and a Library with a little room attached for Ginny to teach some lessons in. Draco showed Ginny to her room it was lovely, and quite big. The bathroom was nice and big, had a double sink and counter, big tub, walk in shower and toilet. The bathroom and bed room were both white and a sky blue.
"If you don't like the colors you can always change them," said Draco. He looked like he was worried she wouldn't like it.
"No it is wonderful just like it is," she said. "It is quite beautiful."
"Well, then I am glad you like it. Bryson lets go see your room now." said Draco.
They walked down the hall to the next door and Draco opened it for his son. The only way she could explain it was GREAT. His bed was a castle, the walls had paintings of dragons and knights on horses, anything and everything you could think of.
"I take it he really likes elder times," stated Ginny.
"Yes he is into the horse and knight finding the dragon scaling the castle walls, he has a great imagination. What do you think Bryson?"
"Love it Daddy, Miss. Ginny want to get on my bed?" he asked.
"Sure," she walked over and climbed up. "Draco this is wonderful," she said.
"I am glad that you guys are enjoying it," he said smirking at Ginny.
She stuck her tong out at him.
"Very mature, Miss. Ginny," said Draco mocking her.
"Bryson, want to go explore outside?" asked Ginny.
"Yeah," he said jumping off the bed.
They walked out into the back yard and Ginny was shocked. There was a pool, a stable, and a lot of open space. " WOW, Bryson, we are going to have a lot of fun this summer." she said smiling at the small boy.
"I bet you guys will have a blast," said Draco.
"Daddy is there horses in the stable?"
"Yes and you have to take care of them remember," said Draco.
"Ok Daddy," said Bryson hugging his father.
"Why don't you go play in your room while I show Miss Ginny the rest of the house." Draco told his son.
"Alright daddy," with that he ran back to the house.
"No running in the house Bry," called Ginny.
"I wont," he called back to her.
"Thanks for that," said Draco. "Shall we have that tour," asked Draco.
Author Note: So sorry it took so long. I have been busy. I hope that you enjoy, review please!
