In the morning, Jade woke up and found that Malfoy wasn't back. It couldn't have been a better morning for Jade. She was going to get Malfoy in trouble again and see his Mother wring him left and right. She stepped out of the bed to fetch a quill and parchment but instead of landing on the wooden floor, her feet made contact with a warm, fleshy and breathing chest. Jade looked down and bit her lip from screeching. Malfoy was on the floor, without blankets and anything underneath him. The only things that he used were his clothes as a pillow and he hugged his suitcase for comfort.
Jade felt a little guilty seeing him this way, sleeping on the floor with no bit of comfort. She wondered which hotel he went to and when he came back. It was pretty early in the morning, earlier than Jade ever woke, but she woke up early with the intention to get Malfoy in trouble. "Malfoy." Jade said shaking him with her hand. "Malfoy?" Jade asked patting him on his chest.
"Go away...5 minutes, just 5 minutes. The seafood is in the tent." he mumbled. Jade held back a laugh and shook him up.
"Malfoy!" Jade yelled. Draco opened his eyes to the startling voice and looked at Jade with hatred.
"What the hell is your problem Weasley? You can't even leave me to sleep in peace." he muttered facing away from her.
"I'm sorry; I just wanted to know when you came back from the hotel." Jade said seeing him make a face in annoyance.
"So you could record my coming and going and report them to her? Guess what? I didn't go. I was here all night, on the bloody cold floor, so you can go tell her that." he said digging his face in his arm.
Jade smiled and watched him breathe in deeply and cough. "Malfoy." Jade called.
"Die." Malfoy replied.
"You can sleep on the bed. I'm not going to sleep, so you can have it all to yourself for a few hours." Jade told him.
He lifted his head from his arm and gave her a look of doubt. "Why are you nice all of a sudden? What do you want from me?" he asked.
Jade jumped out of the bed and grabbed a scrunchie from her dressing table. "I don't want anything from you. I just pitied you by seeing that you spent the whole night on the floor. If you want, you can sleep on the bed and if the floor is comfortable to you, I have no problem with that either." Jade said leaving.
Draco sat up and winced, feeling his entire back sore from sleeping on the hard floor all night. What on earth possessed him to spend his entire night on the floor? He was Draco Malfoy! Heir to millions of galleons! If anyone would have heard about him spending the night in the Burrow, on the floor, they were surely to laugh until they pissed themselves. Draco jumped on Jade's bed which was far more comfortable than the floor. He snuggled into the soft sheets and breathed in the heavenly aroma of honeysuckle.
After Jade was finished with her shower, she walked out softly and peeked into her bedroom to see Malfoy already snoring loudly, on her bed. She shook her head and walked downstairs, to take a walk outside, on the early June morning.
"Is Draco up yet?" Molly asked as Jade helped make breakfast.
"No, he's still sleeping." Jade answered, beating the eggs in a bowl.
"Did you work out your differences?" Molly asked. Jade merely shrugged and watched Ron and Arthur walk down the stairs.
"Ginny's graduation is tomorrow. The entire Weasley family will be reunited tomorrow." Arthur said taking a seat at the dinner table.
"Oh Bill and Charlie agreed? I was incredibly worried! Charlie wasn't sure whether he'd come or not and Fleur already had a child." Molly said and Jade nodded.
"Charlie's getting married after Ginny's graduation. I'm excited, finally, everyone will be together and we'll have so much fun!" Jade said seeing Ron shake his head.
"Remember who we have in your room. I guess it won't be as much fun now eh?" Ron asked and quieted when Molly and Arthur who did not find his joke funny.
"You both are always picking on the poor boy. I know about Ron, but Jade, he's your husband." Molly said seeing Jade redden.
"I'm sorry Mum. It won't happen again." Jade said. They heard Malfoy walking down the stairs and Jade looked up, seeing him greet everyone a good morning.
"Good morning Draco. Hungry?" Molly asked seeing him nod.
The doorbell rang and Ron and Jade jumped up. "THEY'RE HERE!" Jade and Ron yelled, running for the door.
"Who?!" Draco asked his eyes open and alert. Molly giggled and explained that it was Bill and Charlie that were here to stay for a couple of days.
"Bill!" Jade yelled hugging Bill tightly.
"Jade! You've grown! I heard you married an arsehole!" Bill said and Jade laughed.
Draco, who heard from the kitchen, cringed in embarrassment. Why did everyone call him an arsehole? He didn't even know who Bill was and Bill Weasley already identified him as an arsehole.
"Forget about that! How have you been? Oh my goodness, hello sweetie. Hi Fleur!" Jade grinned.
"Hello Jhayde! Eetz been a long time!" Fleur said embracing Jade in a one armed hug. The baby cooed in Fleur's arms and Jade extended her arms out.
"May I?" Jade asked.
"Of couze you may!" Fleur said.
"Jade! Ron! Bill! Fleur! New addition!" Charlie appeared with his girlfriend Jennifer.
"Have you got my-yes!" Ron said when Charlie tossed him the miniature set of all the dragons in the Wizarding World.
"I swear you get smaller every time I see you." Charlie said hugging Ron. They all hugged and kissed each other in the doorway and Molly and Arthur came to greet them as well.
"Well we can't just hand around all day at the doorway! Come inside! Oh and you also have to meet Jade's husband!" Molly said as carrying Thomas, Charlie and Jennifer's 2 year old son.
"Grandmummy! Toys!" Thomas said hopping as he held on to his grandmother's hand.
"Oh she is so adorable! She's my little sweetheart." Jade cooed at Francois Delacour Weasley.
"Jhayde! Where eez your uzband?" Fleur asked looking around.
"I'll get him right now." Jade said walking to the kitchen. She saw Malfoy, sitting on his chair, twirling the salt shaker on the table with a scowl on his face. "Get up Malfoy, my brothers and my sister-in-laws want to see you." Jade said. He looked up and looked at the baby she was carrying.
"Do I have to?" he whispered.
"Yes. Now get up." Jade said. He got up and followed her out of the kitchen and into the living room. He felt a bit nervous seeing the older Weasley men standing in the living room, watching him in amusement. "Bill, Charlie, this is Draco. Draco, Bill and Charlie, my brothers." Jade said.
"Hello, how are you." Draco said shaking their hands firmly.
"Draco this is Fleur Delacour, Bill's wife and Jennifer, Charlie's wife. Ladies, this is my...husband, Draco Malfoy." Jade said feeling odd calling Malfoy her husband.
"Not bad." Fleur said when Draco took her hand and kissed it. Jennifer grinned when he kissed her hand and gave a thumbs up to Jade.
"I'm actually curious, since this announcement was sudden. How in the world did a Malfoy and a Weasley end up together?" Charlie asked.
"Actually, it's a long story. Full of love and stuff like that." Draco said waving his hand around like it wasn't important. A little weight crashed into his leg and Draco looked down to see a curly red haired Thomas grinning up at him.
"Hi!" he squeaked, his cheeks bright pink.
"Hi." Draco said trying to shake himself from the child.
"Thomas, come here." Jennifer called. Thomas let go of Draco and ran off to his mother. The family had breakfast and Draco looked at the food and made a face.
"Draco? Is something wrong? Do you want extra butter?" Molly asked picking up a plate of butter.
"No! No! No butter." Draco said shaking his hands.
"Then?" Molly asked. Everyone stopped eating and tuned into their conversation.
"Um...well, the thing is...this food is really...oily and rich. So much butter and sugar and cream." Draco said looking at his plate which was filled with eggs, sausage, potatoes, pancakes topped with whipped cream and strawberries.
"What? Dieting?" Bill asked. Ron and Charlie muffled their laughter and stopped when Molly mouthed a silent warning towards them.
"This is what we eat Draco. Every day...if you want I'll make something else for you." Molly said going to get up but the whole family protested and made her sit down.
"It's not a problem. I'll be able to eat it." Draco said when Jade and Ron started glaring at him.
"Or Jade can toast some bread for you? Do you want toast?" Molly asked. Draco shook his head and dug his fork into the fluffy and steaming pancake.
"Draco, just eat it. I swear, just one bite and you'll be licking your fingers for more." Bill promised. Draco nodded and tore the pancake and scooped up a bit of strawberries covered in strawberry syrup. He placed it in his mouth and let the buttermilk pancake melt with the sweetness of the strawberries and whipped cream. It was the most amazing thing he had ever eaten. He couldn't buy taste like that. Home cooked breakfast.
"So?" Charlie asked.
"It's...wonderful!" Draco said, his mouth half filled with pancakes. Everyone broke into a grin and started to chat about the food. When breakfast was over, the men all leaned back on their chairs and let out an exhausted sigh.
"I've never been so full...since...ever." Draco said feeling as if his stomach were to burst.
"I feel you." Charlie said. Ron let out a burp and they chuckled.
Draco made a look of disgust. "That's disgusting!" Draco remarked.
"You can shove your disgust somewhere else. This is my house." Ron said.
"Boys, boys, we're all family. If you're going to insult each other, what would we do? So, Ron, you're a pig, Draco you're an arse." Bill said pointing to the two.
"Why do I have to be the arse? Why can't he be the arse?" Draco asked. Bill shrugged and looked at Ron who really couldn't give a damn.
"Because I eat and you don't." Ron said.
"Well you're the pimple on the arse of humanity." Draco said as the men roared in laughter.
The girls watched the men casually speaking to each other and wondered why men always spoke about things that hardly made any sense.
"Thomas? Where did he go? He's probably up to something." Jennifer said looking around. The women walked upstairs and Draco followed them.
"Where are you going?" Jade asked seeing him walk past her.
"I'm going to work. If you don't mind...wife, hand me a towel and some fresh clothes." Draco said walking to the bathroom.
Jade pushed the door open to her room and saw Thomas sitting on her bed, playing with something. "Hello sweetie." Jade said. She dug into Draco's suitcase and pulled out a blazer, pants a shirt and a towel. Leaving Thomas in the room, she left off and handed Draco his clothes.
