A/N: I still don't own anything!
Good morning to all my readers and reviewers!
"Draco? Lily? There's pie if either of you would like a slice," Ginny poked her head out of the kitchen. "Harry! They're gone!" Harry pushed his way past Ginny into the now empty dining room. "They must have overheard us... Harry, I promised Lily, she tried to tell me about Draco before. What if...what if she doesn't come back?"
"She'll come back, Ginny. She's a decent kid, even if Malfoy's messed with her head."
"Harry, Draco did not mess with Lily's head, she picked him. You saw the way she looked at him, how he looked at her, how nervous he was coming to dinner. He was nothing but polite to you and you accuse him of being a Death Eater. What if she thinks we hate her?"
"She'll come back, Lily. Where else would she go?" Harry asked walking towards his study. "Maybe we'll be lucky and she'll see reason and break up with him," he added. Ginny glared at him.
"I'm going to go find her, and tell her we love her, and I don't care who she's dating."
"Well, I do. I do not want her seeing him. He's too old for her and he's a Death Eater, if she's going to continue to date him, then she can stay somewhere else until she comes to her senses. It's bad enough Albus... I swear these kids," Harry stated closing his office door to end the discussion.
Ginny stared at the closed door for a moment before shaking her head. Harry could be so stubborn sometimes, and blind to what was right in front of him. Now, where would Lily go... or where would Draco take her? Ginny sighed trying to think of where they might have gone. Finally, out of desperation she flooed Hermione.
"Hermione? Severus? Anyone home?"
"Ginny? What's wrong? Come on through." Ginny stepped through the fire. Hermione was standing looking anxious. Severus was seated in his usual chair, a book in his hand.
"Lily's run away. She brought Draco to dinner and Harry reacted..."
"Like an idiot," Severus stated. Ginny nodded slowly relaying the events of the evening.
"When we went back to the dining room, they were gone. I was hoping, maybe, you've heard from them. That they might have come here?"
"I'm sorry, but no, I haven't heard from either of them tonight." Ginny nodded tears building in her eyes.
"Thank you, if they do show up here, can you tell Lily I love her, and I don't feel the same way about Draco as Harry. I promised her, no matter who she fell in love with...I'd never do what my parents did to you." Hermione nodded.
"She knows, Ginny, I'm sure she does. And Harry might come around, eventually. He does have a habit of rushing into things head first and not thinking," Hermione stated. Ginny gave her a weak smile.
"We'll let you know if they show up here, either of them," Severus assured her.
"I should get home, maybe she's come back?"
"Let us know."
"I will," Ginny stated stepping back through the fireplace.
