Chapter 12
Dream or Reality
It had been a week since the night in the dungeon. Ginny was so busy with Sylva she didn't have a chance to talk to Draco much less her mother, who has noticed the ring on her finger. She was either sleeping or taking care of her newborn child. She felt rushed every time her mother asked her questions pertaining to the ring, Sylva, or Draco.
She was glad when Hermione dropped by one day to watch over Sylva. Ginny couldn't thank her enough and made promises to make it up to her in the future. Quickly, she left The Burrow looking for Draco. He, surprisingly, wasn't that far away. Actually, he was in the garden weeding out gnomes. As she watched him run into a limb sticking out of the moist earth, she laughed and memories filled her mind.
Draco turned to see Ginny laughing with a far off look in her eyes. Obviously, she couldn't see him anymore. He snuck out of the patch to walk up behind her. Stepping behind her, the Slytherin slipped his arms around the Gryffindor's now tiny waist.
Ginny jumped but relaxed immediately into his embrace. She was quiet when questions filled her mind. She had tons of them to ask and knew if she didn't get them out now it would be a long time before she could again. "Draco, can I ask you some questions? I've been confused lately and I need more than want answers."
"Anything for you, love." Draco walked over to a tree pulling his wife along with him. He sat down pulling her tiny body onto his lap. "Ask away."
"Okay, well remember the day that you invited me to your office and let me know how you really felt about me?" she waited for his nod then continued with caution. "You told me you would tell me what the letter was about, but yet you never did. Why is that?"
Draco took a deep breath before he jumped into his story. He decided to give her as many details as he could remember so she wouldn't ask him any extra questions. "Well it was a letter from someone I have yet to figure out who it was from, but it was telling me to stay away from you. When I left it wasn't because I had things to do. It was because I was afraid. Not only of my growing love for you but that someone else could tell my emotions for you. I try to guard my feelings from everyone, but when I'm around you I lose all control and peace of mind." He took her left hand into his and smiled at the diamond sparkling on her ring finger. "Do you understand now?"
Ginny couldn't speak or move, Draco had just told her everything she could ever want to hear and so much more. Tears brimmed at her eyelids. One sparkling drop slid from its dam to the edge of her chin, plunging down to the depths of her blouse.
He mistook her crying for sadness and despair. Draco snatched away his hand and was about to dump Ginny off his lap when she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Honey, I wish I would have known all of this sooner," She smiled then a stern look ran through her lit eyes, "But that doesn't mean you don't have to work more to prove yourself. Don't expect just words to win me over. What's that saying? Actions speak louder than words?"
Laughter bubbled up from the pit of his stomach 'til he burst. The look on her face mixed with her words was so hilarious he couldn't overcome the hilarity of the scene set before him. When he felt a smack across his forehead and heard "I'm serious" just made him laugh even harder. He put all of his weight onto the tree they were sitting beside, seeing he couldn't control the laughter. Draco laughed so hard that he could hardly breathe when he finally stopped minutes later.
Ginny huffed as she jumped up off the laughing goon below her. She turned stomping up the hill to her house. She was about to turn and yell something at her idiotic husband when a flash caught her eyes. Her back stiffened while her eyes hardened. "No, not now not ever." She whispered.
Draco saw his wife's change and quickly ran to her. He was going to pull her into his arms when he saw the reason why the sudden alteration. Harry Potter and Cho Chang were both walking towards them. As they grew closer to them, Draco slipped his arms around his wife's waist.
Harry smiled at Ginny until Malfoy showed up beside his ex. Anger flooded his veins like a hot fire engulfing a house. He still had feelings for Ginny and constantly denied it not because he had to, but because of her brother.
Ron was supposed to be Harry's best friend, but he stopped the day Hermione came into his love life. No longer did they hang around each other and make fun of their enemies. What really pissed off Harry was the fact that Ron didn't try to stop the relationship between Malfoy and Ginny, but he did everything he could to break up him and Gin. Even afterwards when he was planning on taking her back Ron fought tooth and nail. Threats hit him every time Ron caught him alone and when others were around he did his best to exclude Harry from activities they were enjoying. This all continued till Harry gave p and went with Cho. After that Ron stayed way from him.
He looked at the woman standing in front of him and wished that it was his arms around her and not that Slytherin's. He grimaced at the thought of putting his arms around Cho. He knew it was wrong to lead her on, but Ginny wasn't an option anymore. Not only because of her brother, but because the last he heard she was a mother to that evil snake's demon child. He put on his best mask as he continued to move forward.
Cho knew Harry still wanted Ginny and they fought constantly because honestly they didn't love each other. She still was in love with Cedric she would do anything to have him alive and well. Honestly, she wished they never would have agreed to marry. He was abusive with her all because she reminded him every minute of every day that they were not meant to be. In the long run though, they had no one else. So she hid the bruises on her body and put on a smile. If no one else would have them maybe later on they could fall in love. The only reason they were at the Burrow is so Harry could show Ron that he didn't have to worry about Harry taking his baby sister from him. In Cho's mind though, she thought he really wanted to see if the rumors were true about Gin and Draco. Obviously with the sight before them, they weren't rumors but fact.
Harry smiled as they finally stopped in front of Ginny. "Well, if it isn't the new mother. You look wonderful, Gin. How's the baby?"
Ginny glared at him wondering why she ever really loved him. "Sylva is fine. She is in a loving home with her uncles, aunt, and grandparents. She's healthy and looks just like her father. My baby girl is as beautiful as ever. Hello, Cho, how have you been?"
Cho jumped at the venom dripping from Ginny's words. She thought that Ginny still loved Harry, so was shocked to hear the change in the girl's voice when she spoke to her. "I'm fine, I'm not pregnant…yet, but we hope one day…"She lost her words not knowing what to say. She wanted to plead with her to help her, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Ginny sensed the urgency in the girl's words and smiled. She walked over to Cho taking her hands into hers. "How would you like to go talk just us girls? I haven't had a decent day of silence since before Sylva's birth. Oh well that's children for you. But would you mind?"
Cho smiled, "No not at all. I know the feeling I wouldn't mind having time for myself as well."
"Then come on I know the perfect place not even my own mother knows about." Ginny pulled the girl towards her and hooked her elbow in hers. She kissed Draco quickly then left with Cho.
Harry, glad that the women were gone, turned towards Malfoy glowering. "I'd say if you touch her you're dead but I can see that there would be no point to it. I want you away from her, she's mine. No matter who the hell you think you are or how much money you have you will always be considered a good for nothing Slytherin who hides behind his fathers cloaks. I don't give a shit if you could easily kill me I will-"
The Slytherin punched him glad to see the raven haired man fall to the ground. "You have no right to tell me what's mine or not mine. As of today Ginny ha claimed she's mine not me. Deal with that you half-blood freak. You have no idea the stress you have put her under and I personally would rather her be with me than in a casket because of your need to beat what's yours. Oh, and on top of that you have Cho, you can't have a claim on Gin as well." With that he left. Fury caused the blond to grip his hands until blood dripped off his knuckles from his nails. It pissed him off and he was going to make sure this stupid idiocy would end.

Ginny sat down in a little shelter like room with Cho across from her. "I've always come here sneaking foods out and hiding from the boys. A girl had to get peace and quiet some how, so when my brother's were home on holidays I would come here to hide pretending I was already attending Hogwarts. I never was alone in here; my imagination took care of that. After awhile though food would start appearing in here always replenishing itself making sure I would always have my supplies the older I got the less sweets were in here. I think Fred and George found out about it and told Dad. This might explain the reloading of provisions."
Cho smiled feeling the warmth of happiness invade the cold set in her bones. For the first time since Cedric's death she felt in high spirits. She looked at Ginny and knew she could tell her anything and could have her wishes of privacy kept safe. At the thought which had flickered across her mind she had decided to tell Gin everything. "Can I talk to you?"
The Gryffindor smiled at the older Ravenclaw. "Sure, you can inform me of anything. What's up?"
Cho jumped in not stalling from letting her know everything she had been in dire need to let out. "Well, you know how Harry and I seem distant yet we are still getting married, right?" She waited long enough for a nod from Ginny, "Well, things aren't going so well what with us in love with people we can't possibly be with. Harry is wallowing in his depression that there's no possible way he can have you back, and honestly I wish I was dead rather than live without Cedric. We both saw the other in distress, which is why we are together. But our relationship has side effects. If I don't remind him of you I'm beaten for it. The sex is enough to wish I would have ended it along time ago."
Ginny looked in shock at the young woman she never would have believed in a million years that Harry would ever raise a hand to another human being but here was his own wife denying that thought. "Do you need help?"
Cho nodded seeing the surprise in Ginny's features change to rage. "I'll get him for what he's done to you without even hinting that you told me what was done to you. I promise you this Cho you will not be beaten again without punishment being pushed onto him."
