What Was Never Said
Chapter One
His Arrival
A year later- Scotland
"Do you have everything? Passport, tickets, bags, and key to the flat?
Ginny laughed lightly "Luna everything is under control, you really don't need to worry" Luna gave her a distant look "You have enough to worry about. The next tour bus has just arrived" Gin quickly told her, she hated when people worried about her.
Days like this were always hectic, Gin mused, and it looked like today was going to one of the busiest yet. Luna grabbed her bags and they proceeded across the yard. Ginny had lived with Luna and her fiancé for a year helping them with their travel business. Their business focused on showing people around old war sites and ending with a visit to the grave sites of Harry Potter and other war heroes. Even years after the war people still travelled miles to see and remember. As much as Gin loved helping arrange guest's sleeping quarters and organizing the tours, now was a time to return to England and start her life.
"I hope you'll manage, take care" Luna whispered as she joined her friend at the front porch and watched the tour group ascend the walkway.
"It could be a while until I see you while the divorce is being settled, could be a few months even" Gin replied hugging her friend.
"Speaking from experience, gin, it could be even longer than that. Especially in your situation," Luna replied grimly, "Mine took over two years to finalize."
"Don't worry Luna I'm not expecting any problems, Draco wants this over as much as I do. He probably can't wait to finally be with Pansy anyway." Gin replied while cradling the child she had in her arms. It was just last week that she had seen a picture of the two at some party, and she was all over him like always. This time, what hurt most was he was returning the affection and posing for the camera. Ginny dismissed the thoughts. She had to focus on her booming business and her year-old son. It was time to get over the past and put it behind her.
"I'm going to miss him" Luna smiled at the year old baby bringing Gin out of her thoughts. She smiled and placed the child into the carriage and proceeded to the taxi that had just pulled up.
"Are you sure you're going to be able to handle seeing Draco again" Luna slowly eyed Ginny, seeing her tense in the shoulder and her eyes glaze over.
"No need to worry about that, with any luck I won't need to see him. My lawyers drew up the papers and sent them to him. It's not as though I want anything from him, including money."
"Are you crazy? You deserve to get something out of him. Especially since you now will be taking care of Damian by yourself" Luna gave her a stony look.
Gin looked at her year old son, "I can handle it Luna, and we will be well taken care of with my new job and my mom's help"
Luna sighed, Gin knew that Luna was beyond worried about the welfare of both her and her son, Damian, but she needed to get away and start her own life. She couldn't hold back Luna's life anymore, Luna had looked after both her and Damian for almost over a year and now it was time they both lived there own lives.
"Luna I really appreciate what you have done, and I really am going to miss you. I hope you and Neville can finally live your lives, maybe take a honeymoon finally" Gin slowly pulled out an envelope out of her pocket and forced it into Luna's hand.
"Gin really you…"
"No Luna, you have done so much, you and Neville need a break," Luna smiled and hugged her best friend "Lu, I can't breathe"
Both girls burst out in laughter and continued to load the back of the cab with all of the suitcases.
"Seriously Gin, You have plenty of right to demand support from Draco, especially since it's his son. Also it wouldn't hurt to dip into the Malfoy Fortune,"
"ABSOLUTLY NOT! I'm sorry Luna but Damian is my responsibility. Draco never wanted a child, his conception was an accident, and I will take full responsibility for my son. I don't need financial help from Draco, I'll be able to manage" Gin reassured her friend, but then she saw the frown form upon her face "I also won't take any crap from Draco, I promise I'll be alright as will Damian" Gin added helping to ease her friend's concern.
Her plan was simple, she would get in touch with Draco through her Lawyers and he would sign the papers, and everything would be finalized. She would be able to live her life and raise her son in a loving environment. She looked down at her son, Damian, and smiled. He was so small, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was the exact replica of his father, but with freckles along his little nose. Even if he wasn't wanted by his father, Gin loved him more than anything. Yes, she was finally happy and expecting that the divorce would go without any complications, it was simple. Gin frowned down at her son in the carriage. Draco Malfoy was a mysterious and very secretive man, even after being married two year she knew nothing about him. What she did know was the Draco Malfoy was not a simple man.
"Hmmm well someone's arrived in style" Luna broke through Gin's thoughts as they loaded the remaining bags into the taxi van. Gin looked at the black sleek limousine that had pulled up at the end of the yard. "I hope they know that this is a busy time of the year for us and we won't be running around after some spoilt rich couple" Luna complained as the last bag was loaded. "Anyway, the driver is ready to take you to the airport, you sure you have everything?"
"Yep, everything's packed, all that's left is getting little Damian in the car without waking him" Gin smiled and started putting the car seat into the taxi.
"Well give me one last hug then, I've got to go help Neville meet and greet and get everyone settled"
"No problem, hope everything goes smoothly here, and I'll call you as soon as I arrive in London"
The both said good bye and Gin watched as Luna ran like a little girl after her kitten over to Neville. Turning to complete her task she continued to try and put in the car seat, which was proving to be more difficult by the second. She finally got it in only to realize that she forgot the diaper bag. She took a quick glance at Damian to find him sleeping soundly and decided to ask if the driver had seen it.
"How are you doing today Mattew?" the driver was a regular that took usually took guests too and from the airport.
"Fine, you're looking very beautiful today. Are you looking for the diaper bag, Luna said something about you might forget it" Gin thanked him quickly a slight blush rising on her cheeks, "Yes, I don't know if I brought it out or not?"
"I'll double check the trunk for you" Both of them went back to the taxi to look through the trunk. After five minutes of talking about family Gin looked back to the carriage to check on Damian, only to find the carriage empty. She started to panic, but maybe Luna had taken and put him into the car seat. Yet as the thought came to mind, she looked across the yard and saw Luna greeting people at the door of the house. A feeling of unease started to go down her spine. She slowly turned to look at the black limousine further down the yard.
A second passed by and she thought that her eyes were playing a trick on her, and that the hot sunny day was causing a mirage to form. After a few seconds of blinking she looked again only to determine that it wasn't an illusion it was really him. Dangerous and Handsome weren't adequate enough words to describe him. She felt numb at the site of him, what was he doing here? He started to come towards her and she could feel her legs tremble as he approached his broad shoulders and smartly tailored suit exuding power.
She suppressed a shiver as her eyes locked with his cold, grey stare. His expression like always hid his emotions, but his eyes were radiating the fire within him. She was struck by the hardness emanating from him, along with the air of arrogance, of ruthlessness, and of power that surrounded him.
"Draco!"
She closed her eyes, trying to rid her self of the unwelcomed vision but upon opening them she found he was still there, right in front of her.
"What are you doing here? What do you want?" She demanded as thousands of questions flew to her mind. He smirked, which slowly turned to a smile which reminded her of a wolf watching its prey.
"I've already got what I came here for" he taunted "it's up to you if you join us or not" he continued the smirk reappearing, confirming her suspicion that he was up to something.
"Us?" She sounded squeakier then she had wanted, she wanted to seem stronger than him.
She then realized what he might be referring to and her panic came back. Preferring to play dumb at the moment she replied "I don't understand"
He leaned over her, his 6 foot frame towering over her petite 5'4 frame. She was starting to feel breathless and disoriented with him this close, and decided to take a step back.
"Don't play dumb with me Gin," he replied gruffly, obviously getting annoyed. She looked at him, and a particular feeling started to surface, it felt as if a knife was being driven between her ribcage. She tore her eyes away. She was stunned by his arrival, she didn't know what to do or say. She could tell by his posture he was growing impatient and his eyes gave away his anger and dislike for her. Finally giving in she asked "How did you find me?"
"You wrote to your lawyer asking him to draw up divorce papers" he reminded her coolly "and I must appraise him for his speed at which he drew them up and contacted my lawyers, he truly knows how to take care of his clients" He was making small talk, trying to put her under more stress and just playing with her for his own enjoyment.
"Mr. Jordan has been a close family friend and has forever taken care of the Weasley family legal issues," she replied quickly "I know that he would never give up my whereabouts, especially when I specifically asked him not to"
"No, but his pretty little secretary would" he replied cockily "An evening of wining and dining proved to be very successful in many ways" he added silkily with a gleam in his eyes that made her sick.
"I don't want to know details of your disgusting love life" she replied viciously, "though I doubt love plays any part in it, that and you haven't answered my question of why you are here?" she added spitefully, she choose to ignore the familiar sent of aftershave.
"I'm assuming that you took time out of your busy schedule to read the letters Mr. Jordan sent to you, in them it said that I would be returning to England to sort out the divorce. Why didn't you wait for me?"
Draco inhaled sharply and swore under his breath. She could tell he was trying to control his anger, but it showed in his eyes. "I have been waiting a year to see my bloody son" His eyes were cold as slate with a murderous gleam in them and she trembled as she realized how furious he was. "Did you honestly believe that I would wait for you to show up? When I knew you would run. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it was to find out in a bloody letter that I had fathered a son? Bloody Hell Gin!" He ground out his jaw ridge with tension and his eyes blazing with rage. "Everyone else knew and wouldn't tell me, you even told 'Mr. Jordan' but you didn't even have the guts to tell me I had a son, and for that I can never forgive you. You disgust me" He finished with a look on his face as if he had something that smelled like garbage in front of him.
She looked at him, flabbergasted by his anger and angry at his accusation. "What should I have done then," she countered trying to defend her actions "Why should you have been told about it when you so obviously opposed of the conception in the first place? You had made it clear you didn't want either of us, Draco, so how can you blame me for wanting to bring up Damian in a life surround by love and happiness?"
"Ha, you have to be joking if you think that I would allow you to bring up my child in this atmosphere surrounded by delusional outcasts" He snarled "I have lost the first important moments and months of my child's life and I hold you and your paranoid theories about my alleged affair with Pansy to blame. You were always a jealous person. You know it's not a very attractive emotional trait Gin." He said as his eyes grazed over her trembling form "You allowed your emotions to cloud your judgment of what was good for my son, you denied him a relationship with his father, and now he is the one to suffer. I'm informing you now that for now on he will know who is father is." He told her his eyes filled with bitterness and anger.
"I would never prevent you from seeing Damian if that's what you want. We can arrange something between us I'm sure." She replied glumly as she tried to wrap her mind around the idea that Draco seemed to want a child, if it was out of revenge or for another reason she didn't know. "I'm willing to work out arrangements and I'm sure Mr. Jordan would be more than willing to help. He may be surprised by your sudden loss of aversion to fatherhood."
"Well how generous of you" his voice dripped of venom and sarcasm and she flushed. He always made her feel two feet tall when he was around and she usually would cower and avoid confrontation. Now though she had gained a backbone, her fiery spirit was back. She slowly lifted her head and stared him down, only to realize the reaction her body had to him was opposite of what she wanted to feel. How, after a year of getting over him, was he able to set her body on fire with just one look, even after all he had put her through during Hogwarts, and their marriage?
She looked up to him, only to find him analyzing her from head to toe.
"Yet then again you were always generous" he drawled "especially in bed"
"Fuck you" She snapped, tears of humiliation forming in her eyes. It was like he was reading her mind just moments ago. "I'm surprised you even remember since its been years since we shared a bed, but then again why would you need me when you were busy elsewhere?" she retorted scathingly
"I'm done with this, as soon as I arrive in London I'll get my lawyers to draw the divorce papers and set some sort of arrangements for Damian" she said as she looked toward the house hopping that Luna was somewhere close by. She frowned as she realized that she was probably starting her speech about the tours. "If you'll excuse me I need go find him" She was praying that Luna had him, she didn't need to look more foolish in front of Draco.
As she started to walk away she heard Draco laugh under his breath then say quietly, "Are you in the habit of losing my son?" When she turned he had his eyebrows raised and a smirk on his face leaning casually yet dangerously against the limousine. The limo must have pulled up when they were talking.
"No, I believe Luna must be taking care of him"
"Well then we shall see you in London, we really must be going anyway"
She still was puzzled by his words but by the devilish gleam in his eyes and the smirk on her face she had a feeling he knew where Damian was. Hoping he wasn't and he just had company with him she decided to scope the waters
"Let me guess. Pansy is waiting in the car for you? I must say her dedication is outstanding" She admired her quick thinking skills. Obviously she would have come; she would never leave his side now.
"Pansy's behaviour and skills are truly outstanding" he replied over his shoulder as he started walking away "but she is not with me. However, Damian is probably getting restless being left in the car for so long. Good bye Gin" He smirked over his shoulder and he was already gracefully ducking his head into the car when she finally figured out what he meant.
"Wait! Draco! What do you mean he is in the car?" She yelled jogging to the car. His look of triumph only increased her fear.
"I took the responsibility of taking care of our son while your attentions where…elsewhere" he drawled "please do tell me, are you always this careless with our son?" He continued coolly
"No! He wasn't left unattended carelessly, I was putting things away and getting his diaper bag." She retorted defensively.
"No matter, you were so focused on other things anyone could have taken him" as if to prove his point he glanced into the car. She slowly dipped her head in a saw Damian's sleeping form in a car seat. She was flushed as her head reappeared from inside the car. Her attentions had been elsewhere but there was no one for miles around, he would have been safe.
"You can't just take him, you have no right. I'm his mother" she replied shocked when he was getting into the car and about to close the door. She opened the door and leaned in wanting to get Damian out when Draco grabbed her hand with a bruising grip.
"I find it funny how you say that when I am his father and you had no problem hiding him from me" He snapped. "If it hadn't been for your greed, I may never have known I even had a son"
"My greed" she squeaked in response
"I am assuming that you were hoping to get a hold of a huge lump sum for both you and your family to continue to raise him in this oh so lovely area" He looked around at the somewhat decimated house and barren land. "You really should have thought of our son when choosing a place to raise him"
"Because I'm so sure with your amazing parenting skills you would have been able to stick him in a cold manor with maids and no one to love him. That to you would be an acceptable place to raise him right" Gin replied angrily, he had no right to judge her choice of where to raise him.
"I find it highly amusing that you judge my parenting skills when I haven't yet had the chance to demonstrate them" He countered raising his eye brows as if to challenge him on what he was saying "That is all about to change now though, MY son is coming with me"
"Hell he will be" Gin replied as she saw the taxi driver coming over. "Miss, we need to get going"
"Yes sorry Matt, I'll be there in less than a minute" She replied over her shoulder. "Okay Draco, give Damian back, you made your point"
"Well apparently I didn't Ginerva. He is coming back with me" He replied coolly, then quickly gave directions to the limo driver. Fear started to rise inside her. He couldn't be that cruel as to take Damian from her.
"Bloody Hell Draco!" tears started to come to her eyes as the emotions for the day overwhelmed her "You can't have him!" she didn't know what else to say, she was confused of how things could go so wrong so fast.
"No Ginerva, you're mistaken, I already have him" he said his impatience growing "It's up to you if you come too. Personally speaking I don't care if you rot in hell though" He growled savagely. She stood there horror struck at his viciousness. "I would love nothing more than to watch your body wither in pain from the Cruciatus curse, but for our son's sake I suggest you get in the car" He pushed open the door of the limo waiting for her to get in. His words cut her, and were probably more painful then if he had used the Cruciatus curse on her. She took one look at his face and saw the seriousness and impatience shining in them
"I would never let you take him without me" She proclaimed and started to walk to her taxi to get her bags. She threw most into the back of the limo, stopping just to say she would be a few more seconds. At the taxi she grabbed her purse and the diaper bag and was about to say sorry to Mattew when she saw out of the corner of her eye the limo starting to move slowly.
She quickly took off forgetting about Matt and ran toward the limo, tears stinging her eyes as she opened the door of the moving limo. She threw her bags in getting frustrated that Draco sat there not telling the chauffer to stop the car. She finally scrambled in "You bastard" she swore at him "You knew I was coming!" She finished breathing heavily trying to catch her breath.
"I have a good...mind to charge you with kidnapping" She said as her breathing returned to normal, still unshed tears made her eyes glassy. She stared around the limo, and then a sudden thought occurred to her, she was caught in a trap. She couldn't leave the limo, and she had no way of getting herself and Damian out of the car. He had set this trap and she fell for it. When she looked towards him, he had a smirk of triumph in place, as if reading her mind. She was entirely at his mercy and her fear and loathing were coming back. She heard the unmistakable click of the locks, and locked eyes with him.
"Not kidnap" he drawled as his eyes settled on her flushed face "I would prefer to call it repossession, but this time you won't escape. I promise."
Hello everyone again, so I will probably be updating every weekend. I am thinking that there are going to be 9-10 chapters maybe more. I have most of this written and am still looking for a beta for my story.
