Trouble for Me, Chapter 2.
A/N: Thanks for all of the feedback! I am glad you all liked the 1st chapter! Here is the second one! Also wanted to note that I will ignore all flames. They are pointless considering I know I am not the best writer in the world, I do this all for fun. You don't have to point it out. So don't waste your time. Thanks!
The sun shine reflected gold sparkles off of Ginny's hair as she sat outside on her back porch watching Landon play Quidditch with his cousins Hugo and Rose. She was proud to know that when Landon got to Hogwarts he would be an excellent chaser like herself.
"Be careful of that tree, Landon!" Ginny yelled, wincing at the sight of his close collision.
"I will Mum! Don't worry!" Landon replied zooming off on his toy broom.
'Thank goodness they are only a foot and a half off the ground.' Ginny thought.
Ginny looked up and noticed that an owl was flying towards her flat. Once it landed in front of her, she took the letter from the owl and fed the owl a piece of carrot she had beside her. As the owl flew away, she unfolded the letter and read it.
G-
Meet me at the Leaky Cauldron in a few hours.
D-
Ginny was extremely shocked to receive a letter from Draco. The last time she had even remotely spoke to him was in the dream she had a couple of weeks ago. Ginny smiled to herself, excited to finally see Draco face to face. But then she thought about Seamus and whether or not she should tell him about Draco. As far as she knew, he still didn't know who Landon's father is. She thought that he may have an idea because he hints to it quite often, saying things like, "I'll never be as good as Draco, right?" or "Are you ever going to tell me the truth about Landon's father?" She never answered him each time he asked judgmental questions like that. Ginny left her thoughts and got Landon, Hugo and Rose back inside the flat to get them ready so she could take them to her mum's.
When she arrived at her mum's, Mrs. Weasley looked at her confused. "Why are you bringing the kids by? Not that I love seeing my grandchildren, but it was unexpected." Mrs. Weasley asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Well I have something that came up that I need to take care of and I knew you would love to see the kids." Ginny answered with a smile that was almost unbearable to say no to.
"Okay, I will take them. I will owl Hermione to let her know they are here." Mrs. Weasley said as she walked over to Ginny and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you so much, Mum." Ginny said as she gave her mum a hug and floo'd back to her home.
Much to her surprise, Seamus was home.
"Hello, love! Where did you come from?" Seamus asked.
"I came from my mum's. I dropped the kids off." Ginny replied.
"Okay... Where are you running off to?" Seamus asked, an annoyed tone starting to show in his voice.
'He is suspicious.' Ginny thought. "I am going out, aren't I allowed?" Ginny replied snarkly.
"Well yes, but I was hoping to spend some time with you. You know we haven't even shagged since our wedding night. I am starting to feel neglected here." Seamus said angrily throwing his arms in the air.
"You got to give me a break here! I have been through a lot in the past few years and you want me to just forget! Well I can't, no matter how hard you try!" Ginny screamed, not caring about the tears running down her face. She walked away, wiping the tears away and went into her bedroom to get some clothes together to wear.
She ended up choosing one of her nicer jumpers and a pair of black slacks and and black stiletto boots. She grabbed her purse and headed out the door, without a glance to Seamus.
Ginny walked from the apparition spot over into the Leaky Cauldron. The place looked a lot more rundown than it was in the past. The bricks were deteriorating and the paint on the cauldron sign was peeling off and falling onto the sidewalk below. It has been a while since she has been here. She walked into the door that had two broken windows and looked around. Most of the tables that were in pristine condition were now falling apart and were scuffed up. Tom, the innkeeper, passed away a couple years ago and now his son ran the place. The place sure look like he hasn't cleaned it in a couple years. It also looked like they had lost some business since Tom passed away.
Ginny walked over to an alcove and stood under it surveying the place for Draco. She had not seen him anywhere yet, he wasn't that hard to miss unless he changed his hair color. That was highly unlikely. She looked down at her nails, noticing that her light pink nail color was chipping and she needed to re-color it. When she glanced up, she seen him. The breath in her chest escaped leaving her breathless. He was gorgeous. He had not changed very much, he still had the same length hair. She glanced at his hand and seen something gleaming in the sun. His wedding band. She dug her fingernails into the palm of her hand to keep from screaming. Then she remembered that she was also wearing a wedding band.
"It is now or never." Ginny mumbled to herself. She walked out from underneath the alcove and walked over to the bar where Draco was sitting. She tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around. His eyes gleamed and he smirked.
"I didn't think you would show, Weasley. Now that you are married." Draco said coldly. "Wedding of the year, huh?"
"It isn't because I am married, I am not letting Seamus control me. And yeah I guess it was." Ginny replied with the same degree of coldness. "Why did you want me here anyways?"
"I just wanted to see for myself that you were doing okay. But I guess you are so there is nothing left for me to see right?" Draco replied snarkly.
"Nope I guess not. Looks like you are doing just fine yourself. Married too." Ginny said harshly.
"Yeah, but that wasn't my choice. I am sure you have heard of arranged marriages. Well mine was of that sort. Astoria isn't my cup of tea, if you know what I mean." Draco added. He looked back down to his drink and took another swig. "You know, you were the best thing that ever happened to me, Weasley. But you are too good for me. This will be the last time we arrange to meet. This is too dangerous. Astoria knows about our past and if I am seen with you, some bad things may happen." Draco mumbled as he got up from the stool. "I will see you around, Weasley. I just moved back to Hogsmeade so maybe we will see each other again. Coincidentally of course." He shook her hand and walked out of the bar.
Ginny stood there shocked for a second. Her hand was still on fire from his touch. She walked out of the bar and apparated back to her mum's place. She walked in still in a daze.
"Ginny, dear what is the matter?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Ginny sat down and just shook her head.
"Nothing is the matter, Mum. I am just worn out." Ginny replied.
"I laid Landon down for bed, if you want to you can come get him in the morning." Mrs. Weasley said. She walked over to Ginny and gestured her to stand up. "Go ahead and go home. Get a good night's sleep." Ginny nodded and gave Mrs. Weasley a hug and apparated back to her place. She walked in and seen Seamus sitting in the chair facing the door. He looked extremely mad. She walked over to the kitchen counter and set her bag down. Then she walked over and sat on the couch opposite him.
"Hi." Ginny said approaching him lightly. He did not answer her, but just stared at her once again. He followed her every move.
"Why are you just sitting here staring at me?" Ginny asked starting to get irritated. Then he blew up.
"WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHILE YOU WERE OUT? HUH? TELL ME!" Seamus yelled getting up to his feet.
"I told you I was going out! No need to get bent out of shape!" Ginny responded defensively. She leaned back into the couch more and crossed her arms in front of her. Seamus sat back down and started to breathe deeply.
"You have changed! What is wrong with you?" Seamus asked, looking into her eyes. " I thought you were happy! Are you happy with me?"
"Yes, but-" Ginny said.
"No, you are not happy! If you were happy you wouldn't have to say anything else but yes!" Seamus yelled.
"You didn't let me finish! I think that you are way too clingy! You have to give me some space!" Ginny said balling her fists up and banged them on the coffee table. She never knew to have this much anger, but something about Seamus brought it out of her.
Seamus calmed down and walked over and hugged her. "I am so sorry. I had no idea. Go to bed and enjoy a nice sleep." He kissed her forehead and walked into the bathroom. She got up and walked to their bedroom and got into the closet. She got her night clothes on and went to sleep angry once again.
