A/N: So this is the last one. It's not very long, and it has not been beta'd. I hope you enjoy it!

My last chance to thank some of the readers who I could not thank due to a block on their account or not being logged in. Sorry if I missed you on the list, but know that I have truly appreciated all the support.

The Safe House

~ Future Shot Two~

Chapter Forty-Four

Draco watched her laughing with the dark-haired man. It made his stomach turn to see her so easily and intimately touching the wizard's arm, tossing her long red hair over her shoulder. He could see the wizard's eyes darken as she leaned towards him and whispered something into his ear. Draco thought he would rather swallow Bubotuber Pus than have to watch the scene before him any longer.

He briskly turned away and ran straight into another dark-haired man he didn't often want to see.

"Potter."

"Oh, come on. You can call me Harry. Besides, Ginny doesn't like it when you do that." Harry chuckled and nodded his head toward the scene behind Draco.

Draco turned back around and saw his wife fawning over the other blasted wizard. "She's seems to be a bit pre-occupied at the moment."

Harry patiently waited for the brooding blond to turn back to him. He tilted his head in observation, nearly earning a more pronounced glare from Draco if it were possible, and then he laughed heartily. "You can't be jealous?"

"And why not?" Draco snapped, clenching his left hand as if his wand were at the ready.

Harry swallowed back his laughter and put his hands up in a gesture of surrender. "I guess I don't really understand."

"Of course you don't. You only have sons. It's bad enough that Ginny thinks he is so special, but to know my little girl is going to be …to be…" Draco's face paled as he pictured many things a father should never imagine.

"Married?" Harry offered sympathetically, knowing exactly why his old rival was looking sickly.

Draco gave him a frustrated but gracious smirk.

Harry continued, "I don't understand why you don't like him so much. I believe he's a good man, even if I am a bit partial. And Lyra adores him - we all know how picky she is."

Draco looked down his nose at Harry. "Your opinion doesn't count, Potter." And with that, he strode away.

oOo

Ginny watched her husband sulking in the corner. She slowly made her way through the room crowded with family members. Thuban's oldest, Leo, ran into her legs and begged for her attention.

"Gramma!" He gave her a toothy grin, looking exactly like his father at that age.

"Let's go cheer up your grandpa, okay?" She held out her hand, and he took it, skipping along beside her.

They approached the moping wizard in the corner, and Ginny nudged little Leo towards her husband. Draco smiled half-heartedly at the Malfoy heir and scooped him up into his arms.

"Grampa, I give you three kisses if you smile at me real big."

Draco scowled playfully. "I don't want your messy kisses, Leo."

"Ummm… How 'bout Gramma give you kisses?" Leo gestured for Ginny to come closer.

Draco eyed his wife up and down. "I don't know, Leo. She might bite me. What do you think?"

Leo howled with laughter as if it were the funniest thing he had ever heard. His cheeks were rosy and his grey eyes bright as he nodded vigorously. "Yep. She will prolly bite you!"

"Then you should go ahead and give me three kisses, and then I can give them to Grandma."

"Okay!" Leo leaned in and pecked Draco's cheek three times. "Your turn, Gramma!"

Draco smiled at Ginny and used his free arm to pull her close to him. He kissed her on each cheek and then on the lips.

She smiled up at him. "You going to stop ruining your daughter's engagement party?"

Draco sighed as he shifted the small child on his hip. "Is she upset with me?"

"No, she just thinks you are being a P.R.A.T."

Leo gently touched his grandfather's cheek, and with an amazed look, he asked, "Grampa, are you a pirate?"

"You arrrrre too clever, Leo." Draco placed his giggling grandson down. "Off you go. Your daddy is just over there." Draco pointed Leo towards Thuban and watched him run full-speed at the unsuspecting wizard.

Ginny pulled her husband back towards her and held on to his expensive robes. "Oh, Draco, could you please at least pretend to be cheerful?"

"I just wish she was older."

"She's old enough."

"She's not ready."

"She's dreamed of marrying him since she was twelve."

"He's too much like Potter."

"Draco!"

"What?"

"He's in love with our daughter and would do anything to make her happy."

"Fine. I will go make nice with him."

"Thank you. And if you are convincing enough, I will make nice with you later."

Ginny started to walk away when he yanked her back into his chest. He whispered into her ear, "Don't make promises you can't keep, poppet." He growled into her neck and kissed her just behind the ear.

"Aye, aye, Captain," she murmured softly, and pulled back to see her favourite smouldering look in Draco's eyes. "The sooner you go congratulate your daughter, the sooner we can sneak away."

oOo

They found the happy couple sitting alone at the head table, sharing a glass of wine and talking softly to each other. Draco frowned as he noticed the wizard running his hand through his daughter's long hair.

"Daddy, are you done being a stupid prat?"

"Stupid, too?" Draco asked Ginny. She smiled and shrugged.

"Yes, love. Come here." He opened his arms to her, and she jumped from the other man's lap and ran into his embrace.

"He makes me so happy," she whispered into her father's ear.

"I know." He kissed her temple and then pulled back to look into her eyes. "If he loves you half as much as I do, then I will be happy."

"I love you, Daddy!"

"I love you, Cassi."

Ginny smiled at her youngest and then turned to the young wizard. She whispered, "Just a word of advice. Maybe try not to mention so often how much you enjoy working for Harry and how much you admire him."

"I know. Dad told me that they always had been rivals in school."

"Yes, well, your dad would know."

Draco stepped away from his baby girl and extended a hand to the other wizard. "Longbottom – "

"Daddy!"

"Frank. Welcome to the family."

Cassi = Cassiopeia She's the baby from the last future-shot. And she looks like her mummy. Finally, a real redheaded Malfoy.

And, btw, I am trying desperately to finish my new fic. And someone once volunteered to beta for me, but I can't recall who it was. Please let me know if you are interested and a qualified beta. It's another long one. And I need some plot guidance along with the SPaG.
