Prompt: (word) Reunion
Ginny stared from Draco to Astoria. It was definitely an awkward reunion between the two.
"You've been doing well?" Astoria finally asked.
Draco nodded. "Yes. Are you and Blaise happy?"
"Very," Astoria primly answered. "How about you and..." She looked at Ginny.
Draco tore his gaze from his previous girlfriend—almost wife—to stared at Ginny. The redhead tried to not feel inferior when standing side by side with Astoria Greengrass, a woman that was just as beautiful as her older sister. She had always been relatively confident in her appearance, but still, Ginny couldn't help but think Draco might find her lacking in the physical department in comparison.
Finally, Draco answered, "I'm extremely happy. In fact, Ginny and I were married just three months ago."
Astoria frowned. "Yes, I read about it in the Society pages. I wasn't sure if I should be insulted by not being invited."
Draco looked back at Astoria. "You cheated on me with Blaise. Did you really think I would invite you to a celebration of my new relationship?"
Astoria crossed her arms. "You mustn't have been that heartbroken. You moved on quickly."
Ginny tried not to bristle at the implication in Astoria's tone. She was the one who was unfaithful, and yet, she was making it sound as if Draco was in the wrong for falling in love again.
Draco smirked. "It was lovely to see you, Astoria, but Ginny and I did have plans, and I will not let you spoil the rest of our day."
With that, he took Ginny's hand and led her away from the youngest Greengrass. Ginny looked over her shoulder and noticed Astoria's usually pale complexion was a little red while her hands were clenched into fists at her side.
When they turned the corner, Ginny looked at Draco. "Are you okay?"
Draco stopped. "I wondered what I'd feel when I saw Astoria again."
"And?" she asked, afraid that some of his old feelings for his first love had come back.
He faced her with a blissful smile on his face. "I'm delighted to say that I felt nothing but minor irritation at the gall she displayed.
Ginny returned the smile. "I'm glad."
Draco gave her the look, as if to tell her he understood what she meant. And with how well Draco knew her, he probably did understand.
Once again, she was reminded that she had made the right choice when she decided to give into her feelings for Draco after he relentlessly pursued her for six months.
She had never been happier.
