Chapter 8
Reception...
"Ginny, Draco, come here this instant, reception's that way," commanded Mrs. Weasley. Both Ginny and Draco blushed like teenagers and went after Mrs. Weasley.

They sat at the middle table, with Ron, Hermione, Mrs. Malfoy, Mr and Mrs. Weasley, the Weasley brothers and their spouses/fiancee/girlfriends and Harry Potter, who didn't bring a date. Dennis Creevey, though disgusted at his brother's attempts in killing Ginny, did his job as the photographer quite well. Before long, Ron stood up.

"I'm not really a talker, but I congratulate my favourite sister, my only sister, that is, for her marriage to Draco Malfoy, may they live happily ever after," announced Ron. "A toast to them!"

Every guests raised their champagne/ Dom Perignon flutes and murmured "To Mr and Mrs. Draco Malfoy,"

The Weird Sisters started a slow song, and as husband and wife, Draco and Ginny started the dance, followed by Ron and Hermione, and pretty soon, the dance floor is covered with people dancing. Harry sat his seat, he didn't bring a date, but he spotted a beautiful blond haired girl sitting all alone, 'maybe she doesn't have a date too,' Harry thought and went to the blond girl.

"Hi, would you like to dance?" he asked, and the girl smiled at him and nodded.

"Hello, Harry Potter," said the girl. "I don't think you remember me, but you saved me once,"

Harry tried to remember all the people he had saved, and as he led the girl to the dance floor, the girl continued to smile, as if provoking Harry's memory.

"Gabrielle!" Harry said, suddenly remembering the little girl he had saved in his fourth year at Hogwarts during the triwizard tournament.

"Gabrielle Delacour, Harry Potter," Gabrielle said, and grinned, Harry had remembered her.

"You don't have your French accent anymore, that's why I can't figure out who you are in the first place,"

"Lost it when Fleur brought me to England when she's working with the Ministry of Magic, and then, I entered Hogwarts, much to her dismay that I'm not going to Beauxbaton, Professor Granger invited me and my sister to come, but she's not here yet," Gabrielle explained.

Back to the dancing...
Draco had reluctantly let Ginny dance with her father while he dance with Ginny's mother. He enjoyed charming his mother-in-law and thought about his insult to her in his fourth year at Hogwarts, 'Mrs. Weasley isn't that bad, she's quite nice though,'

After the reception finished, Draco and Ginny, anxious in leaving Malfoy Manor for their honeymoon, was told that they have to stay for a while because the authorities needed Ginny to give her testimony at Colin's trial.

"Oh well, but let's escape to my room, if we couldn't get out of here, I guess we'd better lock the door and bolt it with magic, so that we have all the privacy that we can have," Draco whispered. As they reached the staircase towards Draco's room, Draco gazed at Ginny, smiled and picked her up.

Ginny let out a small giggle and whispered, "You don't have to carry me, you know, it's Muggle-custom,"

"Well, this is the muggle custom that I quite like, don't want to tire my bride," he whispered. Ginny's quite light and he didn't have any trouble lifting her. Before long they arrived at Draco's room. Draco opened the door and after stepping over the doorway, then he put Ginny down. He bolted the door with magic and carried Ginny again to the bed.

They talked at first, of how they love each other, and then Draco kissed Ginny's lips and she returned his kiss with the same fiery passion that he had released. Draco took off Ginny's veil while Ginny took off his tux. Pretty soon, Draco made sweet, undying love to Ginny.

***************************************
Meanwhile, Colin is taken to the Ministry of Magic for his trial and all the witnesses, except for Ginny was told that his trial will take place in three days time. He was placed in Azkaban, guarded by intelligent half-giants (Mr.Weasley removed the Dementors and replaced them with half-giants and a very powerful spell and some Muggle science to prevent prisoners from escaping.

Three days later...
"Morning, honey," Draco murmured to a sleeping Ginny. He kissed Ginny's face, and smoothed her hair.

"Morning, husband dear," Ginny replied, grinned at Draco and grabbed Draco's face and kissed him. "Are we going to eat breakfast in bed again today?" she asked after they parted.

"Mother requested that we join her at the dining room, she said she felt lonely after your parents went back to the Burrow, so we have to go downstairs for breakfast, she told us to be ready in 30 minutes,"

30 minutes later, Draco and Ginny went downstairs for their breakfast, Mrs. Malfoy had already sat at her usual seat, leaving the head of the table empty. She glanced to the staircase leading to Draco's room and saw Draco and her daughter-in-law coming down, holding hands and laughter could be heard. She smiled to herself, *Lucius, your first phase is complete,* she thought, remembering about the will and the binding magical contract.

"Good morning mother," Draco greeted, and Ginny said the same greeting to her mother-in-law. Narcissa smiled at them and replied their greetings.

Draco sat at his usual seat, and Ginny sat next to him, the dishes, prepared by house-elves, no doubt, is already on the table.

"Now that both of you are married, we just need children to brighten this place up," Narcissa started.

"I'm bored being the only child, and you know that, Ginny," Draco explained, and Ginny remembered what he had told her when they were in her room, talking about love.

"I expect lots of children from both of you," Narcissa continued. After that, a ghost butler brought the letters and the Daily Prophet in a silver platter.

"Today's the trial," Ginny said after reading the article titled 'Colin Creevey's trial takes place today' by Thomas Skeeter, photographs by Dennis Creevey. AFter that, she opened another envelope with a Ministry of Magic seal, in it, it said that they will be needing Ginny for her testimony in the case of Colin Creevey.

"I'll accompany you there," Draco said softly and drew her close, "Don't worry, he won't be able to escape Azkaban,"
