Well, now that I am teasing everyone with an epilouge, enjoy the final chapter number 21! ENJOY and REVEIW!!!


Chapter 21

Draco and Bill stood waiting for the others just outside the burrow's property. They didn't want to go ahead until everyone was there. Well Draco did, but Bill convinced him to wait. Within a few moments, the other five appeared. Draco quickly began to head towards the burrow the second they got there. The seven of them rushed through the field and saw a man standing by the forbidden forest. In fact their were two men there. They began to run over there, Draco still in the lead, when the two men turned around. Draco lunged towards Arthur, but Bill stopped him. They needed to know where Ginny was first.

"What the hell did you do with her!" Before he could even respond to the question, their were loud popping sounds and spells were shot. Ron had apparated away, but from the looks of it, had nothing to do with Ginny's attack anyway. When they got there Ron had his wand pointed at Arthur and vise-versa. Arthur was on the ground bounded by magic, as well as Bill, Pansy, Fred and Harry. The Ministry showed up and shot off the body binding curses, hitting the five of them. They ran up to them and began grab all of them, trying to take them all in for questioning. Draco was standing by Hermione, his hands behind his pack, when he saw an aruor carrying a pale body in his arms. Draco noticed the red hair and the slim figure as his wife. He let out a yell and fell to the ground, unable to tell if his wife was alive or just unconsious. After a few moments, they were all apparated to the ministry. The seven of them were placed in a room together, Aruther had been taken under arrest without questioning for his murder of Charlie. Draco sat in the corner of the room, not moving. Hermione was the only one who dared to go near him and she just sat next to him, repeating soothing words in a hushed voice. Fred, George and Bill were currently talking to an auror and Pansy and Harry sat at the single table, not speaking to one another or to anyone even. Moments later, but what seemed like hours, the brother's were escorted back in. The Minister walked in with them and a couple other aurors.

"Amazing. Never expected this. Especially not from Aruther." He paused for a moment, motioning for all of them to stand around the table. "I need you all to state your name and your relationship to both Ms. Weasley, " Draco mumbled Malfoy under his breathe, " and Mr. Weasley." He started with Fred.

"Uh, Fred Weasley, brother, and son." The young minister nodded, while an auror was writting it all down.

"George Weasley, brother, son." He nodded towards Bill.

"Bill Weasley, brother, son."

"Harry Potter, friend and um, surrogate son." The minister raised an eyebrow, but let them continue.

"Pansy Smith, friend, no relation."

"Hermione Potter, friend, surrogate daughter, I guess." The minister rolled his eyes and they then landed on Draco.

"Draco Malfoy, husband, "Draco paused for a moment, apparently struggling for the words. He knew what he was to Arthur, he just hated to admit it, "son-in-law." The minster nodded.

"Alright, well, Mrs. Smith, your husband is here and Mr. Malfoy, your children are here." The door was then opened and the three walked in. Jaden and Paige ran over to Draco, who quickly picked them up.

"How is my wife? Can I see here?" He asked, as Hermione helped him by holding Jaden in her arms.

"You will all be transfered to St. Mungo's. Other than that, I cannot release any information." He then left the room, letting a few other aurors in to lead them to St. Mungo's. They all went in silence, none of them brave enough to form any words to speak. Jaden and Paige must have caught on to the quietness, because they remained quiet as well. After reaching the hospital, they were transported to the waiting room and were told to wait for any information. They all took their seats and remained silent. The night passed and soon the sun began to rise. Around eight in the morning a Healer finally walked over to their group. They all stood when they heard Ginny's name called. The healer frowned.

"We have done the best we could." He paused. "She however is pretty stable, but is still in a coma. We cannot tell as of now when or if she will wake." He paused letting it all sink in. He then continued, "She may have one visitor at a time, and family only. As of right now, no children." He said, looking towards Jaden and Paige. He then gave his best wishes before leaving. Ginny's brothers all told Draco he could go first. He quickly accepted, rushing off to her room. He opened the door and found his usually vibrant wife laying motionless in a hospital bed. He could feel the tears prickling in his eyes, threating to fell any moment. He walked over to her bed and kneeled beside it. The only sound that could be heard was the slow, steady beat of her heart monitor. She was mostly cleaned up, but you could see the scratches, scars, bruises and stiches. He let out a soft cry and the tears slowly began to fall.


Three weeks. Three weeks had past and still no word. Arthur had been sent to Azkaban, of course, for murder and attempted murder. Ron had disappeared, apparently afraid his father would drag him down as well. However, a trial as still given for him, and he was found more or less innocent, just with several hours of community service for the beating he did in the school year. Draco spent most of his time at the hospital, but he need to be home for the kids as well. They were to young to be without a parent, and Paige was still to young to go to school. Besides a hospital was no where for the kids to spend all their time. To make matters worse for him, he was told that if she didn't wake within the next weak, she was going to be moved into the same ward as Neville Longbottom's parents used to be in. As well as, the now much older, Gilderoy Lockhart. Not to mention it had stricter visiting hours and now could only be entered with an appointment made one week ahead of time. Draco also knew that he couldn't keep Ginny like this forever. He couldn't keep her, as people say, a vegetable. So he spent countless nights, trying to get sleep. One of the rare nights, like tonight, he did find sleep. However around three in the morning, his cell phone began to go off. He peeled open his tired eyes and stumbled out of bed and over to the dresser. He flipped open the phone.

"Hello?" He asked, half alseep.

"Mr. Malfoy?" He stood up straight.

"Yes, that's me."

"This is Healer Brown at St. Mungo's. You should get down here immediatly." He agreeed and ended the call. His next step was to call Pansy. It rang five times before she managed to answer it, with the same 'hello' Draco had moments ago.

"Pansy. Get over here now. Please." She agreed and he hung up. He quickly through on the first pair of pants and the first shirt he found. Pansy appeared at his bedroom door.

"Whats going on?"

"I need you to watch the kids. The hospital called and told me to come down." She nodded understandingly.

"Is that good or bad?" He looked at her, his eyes full of emotion.

"I have no idea." She laid down on his bed and he apparated away. He ran in the hospital doors and towards Ginny's ward. He ran into Healer Brown, the one who called him. "What's going on. How is my wife."

"She was having some brain activity, but it can be two causes. Her brain could be shutting down, leading to her heart stopping, due to the magic used on her. It could also mean she is going to wake soon." Draco nodded, his breath coming in searing gasps.

"Can I see her?" He pointed towards the door and Draco rushed in. Ginny lay yet again motionless. Her heart monitor slightly faster than it was last time. He swallowed the lump in his throat. A nurse walked over to him.

"There is nothing more we can do. It's all up to her." He nodded, tears brimming his eyes, giving them a glossy look. She sighed, but offered one more peice of advice. "You can try talking to her. Repeating old memories. It's not gaurenteed to work, but if she can hear you, it may offer more brain activity." She gave he best smile and left the room. Draco looked at his wife, not to sure where to begin. He began to talk about when they first became friends. Though both of them were reluctant at first, they worked it out. He worked his way through school and into that summer. He tried to think of anything that would be happy. He went through their college years and to the night he proposed.

"Remember. You thought their was something wrong. Then we got married." Tears were freely falling down his cheeks, landing on her blankets. "I love you and our children love you. We need you to come back. Jaden and Paige need you. They need their mother." He bowed his head down, his body lightly shaking from sobs. He looked up when he heard a jump in the beeps on her moniter. His heart began to pound. This was it. The healer and two nurses walked in the room. The beeping began to speed up and Draco felt his heart begin to race. The fast beeping was usually a bad sign, wasn't it. Tears began to fall faster at the thought of losing his wife, thinking it was his fault. He was to careless. He let her wander off in public alone without checking the headlines. What made his heart find some joy, was that the last thing she was doing was buying two wands for their children.

"I love you." He managed to whisper. The beeping went faster to the point where it was almost a straight beep and then her eyes peeled open slighty. The beeping slowed to a regular, steady beat. He let out the breath he didn't know he was holding as Ginny's eyes opened completly. The healer nodded at him.

"She will be okay." Draco smiled, tears still falling, but more from happiness. She looked around a bit, her eyes finally landing on Draco.

"Wh-what's going on?" She said, very weakly. He smiled after hearing, what he thought, was the most beautiful voice.

"You have been in a coma for three weeks. Your father has been taken away. We are all safe now." She smiled weakly at him, some color finally returning to her face.

"I love you." She replied meekly. He kissed her forehead.

"And I love you." He smiled to himself. "We are all safe."
