Chapter 2:
A couple of weeks after the divorce was settled.
"Draco, is this really what you want to do?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
"Yes, Mum, I need this vacation," responded Draco.
"Please be careful then...I've already lost two of my children."
Draco barely knew Ginny's older brother Charlie, but he knew how much his death had affected both Mrs. Weasley and Ginny. He had died during the war.
"I'll be careful Mum, don't worry about me." With a kiss on Molly's cheek, Draco was out of the door of the Burrow. He often visited Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. They had grown rather fond of him and thought of him as one of their children, they were the closest things he had ever had to real parents. Narcissa and Lucius were both killed by their "Master".
Draco looked up at the burrow one last time before jumping on his broom and flying away. Just as Draco disappeared a redheaded figure appeared and slowly advanced towards the Burrow.
The figure took one deep breath before knocking on the door.
Mrs. Weasley opened the door.
"Draco, did you- Virginia?!?"
"Ginny? Is it really you!?" Mrs. Weasley asked before hugging her only daughter in a tight embrace.
"Mum," was the only word Virginia Weasley could get out.
"Come in Gin, we've all missed you so much."
"Mum, I've missed you all too."
"Ginny, I'm going to make some tea. As soon as I get back I want to know every single detail of everyday of your life for the last couple of years."
Ginny only nodded.
Mrs. Weasley entered the room again a few minutes later. She noticed her daughter was holding a picture frame.
"Are Hermione and Draco still married?"
"No, dear...they aren't."
"Oh," Ginny said while looking at the picture more closely. It was of Draco and Hermione on their wedding day. They were holding each other and waving at her, Draco didn't look as happy as Hermione.
"She left him, not too long ago," added Mrs. Weasley.
"Really?" Ginny asked feeling relieved.
"After a year we had stopped searching for you, but Draco never stopped," said Mrs. Weasley before continuing, "He thought he loved her but his love is only for you Gin."
Ginny broke down in tears.
"Mum, I love Draco so much, I can't imagine spending anymore time without him in my life."
"You'll have to wait awhile longer dear. Draco just left for a vacation. He didn't tell us when he'll be back or where he went."
"But he is coming back, right?" asked Ginny.
"Yes, of course dear but until then you need to get some sleep and don't think I'm letting you off on telling me where you were these past years."
"Of course mum," said Ginny while running up the stairs of the burrow to her old bedroom where Draco often stayed with the Weasleys every once in awhile. Some of his things were even scattered across the room. This only made Ginny cry more.
"Draco, is this really what you want to do?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
"Yes, Mum, I need this vacation," responded Draco.
