Ginny and Draco

Part I

By

* Aurora Wyvern*

 AN: Since I think that Harry Potter started school in 1991, don't be surprised if I write the dates a couple of years after he finishes it. Ginny's private diary. (Grins) I kind of think that she and Harry would make a cute couple until I read about Draco and Ginny being together. What can I say? Opposites attract. Oh yeah, in my story, Ginny and Harry used to be married before being divorced, (details will follow,) Before I forget, none of the characters mentioned in the four books, belong to me, but belong to J.K. Rowling. Also, in my story titled Daisy Baggins, all the characters belong to J.R.R. Tolkien.

I, as usual was walking to work when I bumped into someone familiar. "Watch it buster!" I shout at the stranger. Guess who it was. Draco Malfoy. He smirks at me and doesn't apologize but leaves me. I sigh and sit down, upset and sad. My head in my hands and recall the last three years. Last year, I graduated and had married to Harry. Unfortunately, I had very high ambitious to become the first female of the Ministry. Harry was with Puddlemere United, a Quidditch team. Both of us didn't spend enough together and several months ago, we got a divorce. I was pregnant and I still am. I became the first female of the ministry and got assigned to the Ministry of Healing.

Dad was very proud of me and always gives me tips on how to be an effective minister. I love my job but I have a desire to become someone higher and the baby is going to hinder me, not that I want it to.

Truth be told, I used to date Draco back in my fifth year but he dumped me because his father found out about us and it was supposed to be a secret. I am still crushed about it, but then I've gotten closer to Harry and our feelings began to be in sync and when I graduated, we married and began our problems. I hate to admit but I still miss Harry and Draco. Somehow Draco would make things all right. Got to be going, my work is starting.

I saw Draco again today just as I was going back home. I was feeling light because I only ate an apple throughout the whole day and I know that this isn't very healthy neither for the baby or me. Does Harry know about the baby? No. I didn't dare to tell him because then he might want to remarry me or something. I have decided on something; if a baby will be a boy I'm going to name him after Harry's father and if it's a girl after his mother. But no, he won't know about it.

Draco, I forgot to mention, was looking as usual back in Hogwarts. His silver-blonde hair was fixed flawlessly, his skin was as pale as ever and he was wearing very expensive robes that I could never afford. Next year will be a Quidditch competition between the Puddlemere United and Chuddley Cannons. Sorry, just an off topic mention. When I saw Draco, I felt for some strange depressed, maybe its because I am remembering his treatment to me back in my fifth year. Since I was his girlfriend, Draco treated me like royalty and always bought me expensive gifts. Ron never knew about the relationship and whenever we were in public, he always teased me like I'm nothing.

But back then I must've understood something because I knew that Draco and I were never meant to be. He was a Malfoy! I was nothing but a poor Weasley. Maybe after the baby is born I should visit mum. I haven't seen her in ages! Maybe Fred or George would be there… but what am I dreaming about? Fred and George have their joke shop and I'm a Minster of Healing and Ron is playing on Chuddley Cannons, with Hermione giving him tips on how to improve. They got married last year and ever since Ron got on the team, Chuddley Cannons are doing better than they had in years. That's all the time I have. I have to go to Diagon Alley to get a few things for me since I ran out of food.

I have decided to visit my mom yesterday and this is what has happened. I enter through a door and notice that my mom was grumbling about life and dad was as usual looking at Muggle things. I clear my throat and my mom runs up to me. "Ginny!" She shouts. She hugs me tightly. "I haven't seen you since your marriage a year ago. How's Harry doing?"

Until yesterday, I never told her that Harry and I have divorced. "Mum, Harry and I have divorced,"

"What?" Mum shouts. "Why did you divorce? You seemed to be the perfect couple for each other Ginny."

I took a deep breath. "We were busy with our lives. We barely even shared a life. He was on a Quidditch team and I was running to be first female of the ministry." I stopped for a second. "Did it show on the Daily Prophet?" It's a popular wizarding newspaper.

Mum nodded her head. "Yes." She held up the paper titled 'A Female Running for the Ministry,' below was the story. "I followed your progress through. Congratulations Ginny. Your family is happy for you. What team is Harry on?" Mum demanded as she finally sat down.

"Puddlemere United," I replied. "He's their Seeker." I painfully wrung my hands.

"You miss him, don't you Ginny?" I nodded my head.

"He doesn't even know something,"

"Which is?"

I bent my head down, letting my hair cover my head. "I'm pregnant," I whispered as if it was a huge crime.

Mum heard me. "Pregnant? Ginny Weasley Potter! Explain yourself on why you didn't tell Harry that!"

"I found it out after we divorced several months ago. I didn't want him to remarry me. I wanted happiness for him, you know how much he went through while both of us were at Hogwarts."

It was amazing how even as an adult, I could still fear her. "Yes I understand," Mum said. "But there is one thing you didn't tell me,"

"Which is?"

"Who did you date back in your fifth year?"

I blushed. "Draco Malfoy," Truth be told, I didn't see the point in keeping it a secret any longer. What was the point of keeping something a secret even if it happened years and years ago? Its not like mum will tell dad and the whole community of our kind will know within days. Mum isn't the gossiping type.

She knew I was dating back then because I was in my room during the summer months and during Christmas Draco and I stayed at Hogwarts and had a nice talk. Plus during the summer I brought Draco's expensive gifts so that gave it away. My mum only nodded her head.

"I see," she began. Then she left me alone to my confusing thoughts.

Journal…

I've decided to leave my parents today because I just wanted to go back to Harry's house and mine. We used to have a house together, which I still live in. There in the living room hung a moving picture where Harry and I married and another one, beside our wedding picture, was one where Harry won one of the League games and on the left next to the wedding picture was one at the same event at the League but with me kissing him. That was possibly one of our happiest memories.

I sit down and stare at the moving pictures. There we were radiating was very much happiness before the Ministry cut in. But it was bound to happen sooner or later. But no matter when it happened, going through a divorce was heart wrenching. It means that you are never going to see your husband again. At that moment a knock came at the door. I stood and dried my tears, which I hadn't noticed before. I came to the door and opened it. Outside stood an owl with a bouquet of flowers. Years ago, I would've jumped up and down if I would've thought that they're from Harry.

The owl, a medium sized one, was snowy white with a black beak and wise amber eyes. It was a male. It was flying very low, which meant it was tired. I let the owl sit down and untied the bouquet of flowers from its feet. Then I gave it one Galleon and some water to drink. It gave a hoot of thanks and flew away.

Quickly I put the waters in a vase of water and noticed a card hanging from them. I opened it and read it quickly. All it said was,

'Time for some updating don't you think? Meet your mystery date in Diagon Alley next Thursday at 7:00 PM." It didn't say the name.

Journal…

Last week, I put on a loose very classy dress, a Muggle clothing. And some make up. Since I was three months pregnant, I still didn't show so it was okay. Then I left home to go to Diagon Alley. I was in high spirits as I came to the restaurant where the "mystery date" sat. I looked and saw none other than Draco! "Draco!" I shouted without meaning to. Draco stood up and nodded his head. He didn't change a bit.

"Yes," he told me. "Surprised? Expected Potty?" I blushed. In some aspects he changed, but in others he's still insufferable.

"Uh not really," I replied as I placed a hand on my stomach. Draco noticed the gesture. He only nodded his head and leaned back and watched me as if he found out something without me noticing it.

"Sit down," he offered. "I'm ready to be generous with my ex-girlfriend who dumped me."

"You're the one who dumped me," I reminded him.

"Because I didn't want father to kill neither of us. You know yourself he was a Death Eater."

I felt embarrassed of my history. "He was that spiteful, wasn't he?"

"Yeah," Draco replied sullenly. He didn't cry but seemed to be very hurt. I didn't know what to do but I simply put my hand on his shoulder and began whispering quietly.

"Draco," I began. "Your father isn't here, he disowned you, remember? You could do anything you desired," Draco's father disowned him during his seventh year because Draco didn't want to become a Death Eater but later, after finding out he was the supporter of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, he was taken to Azkaban and the Dark Lord was defeated by Harry Potter before our marriage.

"I'm—" Instantly he stopped talking. Its as if recalling a long lost hated memory. Then he regained his composure and ordered a meal for us. Gratefully I dug in and began eating the meal, not paying attention to Draco. After thirty minutes of eating, Draco said, "You're pregnant," I dropped my fork in surprise.

"How-how did you know that?" I gasped. "You aren't a mind reader are you?"

Draco smirked. "I won't tell you Ginny."

I stood up. "I-I got to be going." I quickly said.

Draco could only shrug. "Don't worry," all of a sudden he held up a newspaper. Daily Prophet. With trembling hands I got the newspaper and started reading.

The First Female Minister is Pregnant

According to our sources, Ginny Weasley Potter, who was the wife of Harry Potter, is pregnant according to Doctor Jingle. "She came to me several months after the divorce and claimed she wasn't feeling well. I did a magical check up on her and found out she was pregnant, running along of three months."

Ginny who made herself in Daily Prophet on various occasions is shocked and happy. Although we haven't been able to find her, people say that she never told her ex husband.

Arthur Weasley, Ginny's father, says that he's happy for his daughter. "She's the apple of my eye although it's a bad thing she divorced him, but things can be amended," With that we had to make him leave the interview because he got teary-eyed.

I put down the article, stunned that he found out about my recent history. "I don't know what to say," I whispered.

"Just say you'll still be going out with me," Draco replied. I looked at him.

"But how can we? It's the first time we met in years!"

Draco shrugged and stood up. "Look Ginny, I have to be going now. I also have my duties." Without saying goodbye, Draco left me.

I have still decided to go out with Draco except on one condition. We'll be friends first because throughout the years, I forgot much about him. Today our "date" included sitting on the sofa and just holding hands while talking. He came to Harry's house and mine and he was surprised about some history we had before our divorce. I learned that he worked at the Ministry of Magic also and learned some history about him also since last I've seen him and before we started dating. Ever since he first saw me when he made of fun of me because of Harry's valentine during my first year, he started to like me. But he didn't want to tell anyone.

Then when he was in his fifth year, to the risk of his parents, he began dating me and definitely fell in love with me, just like I with him. Only Dumbledore suspected that we dated because one time he called me to his office to talk to me about school. We talked about it and my excellent grades when he informed me that next year I'd become a Prefect. Then the conversation turned to Gryffindor and Slytherin.

"You know Ginny, its too bad that neither Gryffindor nor Slytherin are the best of friends."

"Really Headmaster?"

He nodded his head. "The last time they were friends was when these two students, Jacques and Melody were dating each other. Melody was Muggle-born and was in Gryffindor. Jacques, however, came from France and claimed he was Salazar's Slytherin descendant. It was two hundred years ago but legends and facts are hard to forget. Jacques wasn't Salazar's descendant but ended up being Slytherin because of his determination and resourcefulness." Then Dumbledore chuckled, winked at me and I left. I was always afraid that he could read people behind his half moon spectacles and blue eyes. It gave me an odd chill that he knows things about me that I don't know about myself. Its as if he could see into the future.

I never found out what had happened to Jacques and Melody. Soon Draco left and again I was reminded of that scene where I got the feeling that Dumbledore could read people better than they give him credit for. I undressed, put my nightgown on and went to bed.
