Hey y'all, I have to say that I am sorry, I had some issues with uploading
chapter two so I had to up load them again, but I lost all of my reviews,
so if you were one of my first 25 reviewers, could you please review again.
Thank you.

Draco watched as Ginny stood, still banging her fists of the large, heavy door, hoping to get some one's attention, hoping the door would just open, hoping ..... Hoping for anything.
"Ginny, stop you are going to hurt yourself" He told her, she just continued to slam her fists into the door. She either didn't hear him or she was ignoring him. Draco was pretty sure she was ignoring him.
"Ginny, Stop" He repeated again, moving to her and placing his hands on her shoulders, dragging her away from the door. Her hands were already red and swollen, so he didn't want her to do herself any more damage. "Don't get yourself all worked up, we could be in here for a while."
"I can't be locked in her with you, not again...." She groaned. Draco sighed, and then moved to the small table and chair that was in the room. Ginny sat down, and it was only then that Draco realized that there were tears in her eyes. "I went to all that trouble planning to separate myself from you, and now I am stuck here."
"Well, don't worry Ginny, your plans will not be ruined, you can just move out a few days later. Since you can't stand the sight of me any more." Draco replied angrily. Ginny sighed and threw her hands up into the air.
"You see this is why I didn't want to be locked in you, you are picking a fight with me again" She accused.
"I am not picking a fight; I am just stating a fact. You won't be able to leave me tomorrow because you will be stuck in here with me" He replied.
"You are so childish, you are acting like a five year old" She spat.
"If I am being childish, what are you being, you are running out on your sons" Draco told her. "And on your husband"
"Well, maybe my Husband...." She spat the word Husband as though it was dirty "Deserves to be ran out on"
"I deserve it do I? Well, do our sons deserve it? They are innocent in this, and they are going to suffer" Draco replied.
"What, you want us to stay together for our sons, I will not do that, no matter how much it hurts them" She replied.
"Wow, I am childish and you are selfish, what a great balance, I seriously wonder why we are not working out" Draco spat sarcastically.
"You know what, I don't want to talk any more about this, I have made up my mind and no matter how much you scream at me, I will not change it. I am doing what I think is best for my life, and for my sons" She replied "So how dare you question my judgment"
"Oh, I am sorry, did I have an opinion, I totally forgot that I am not allowed to think for my self" Draco hissed. Ginny rolled her eyes at him.
"You can have an opinion, it is just that at this point in time, I truly don't care what you think" She spat, and then sat down.
"So that is it, is it, case closed? No more negotiating?" He asked. Ginny nodded. "Ok then, when we get out of here, I will advise my lawyer to file for divorce."
Ginny didn't know how to reply to that. Part of her wanted a divorce, she just wanted it to all be over, but other part of her didn't want the marriage to fail. They both knew it wouldn't last forever, but Ginny had been hoping that it would.
She had convince herself that moving out of the house that she shared with Draco and the boys would be what could save this disaster. She liked to think that she would only be staying at Hermione's for a little while, a day, a week, a month at most. Then after that she would go home and it would all be fine and dandy.
But it would never be fine and dandy, never again. The marriage between them was over. Maybe they still had friendship, and maybe deep down inside they were still in love, but it was just wrong for them to continue like they were.
It was wrong for everyone concerned. It was wrong for them to go on pretending. They were beyond the point of no return. So Draco was right, Divorce was the next step. It was all they had left, but Ginny couldn't stop the tears that ran down her cheeks as she looked up at Draco.
Draco was standing, his back against the door, and he looked as though he was deep in thought. His eyes darted from one side of the storage closet to the other, but his eyes never rested on Ginny.
He wanted to apologize; he wanted to take it back. He wanted to tell her the truth that he didn't want a divorce that he would do anything humanly possible to stay away from divorce.
When he used to think forward into his future, he never expected it to be that way. He had never expected his relationship with Ginny to end in the signing of divorce papers. Draco had always seen the two of them growing old together, both of them with white hair, sitting in rocking chairs, forgetting to take their pills but remembering the good old days and complaining that their sons never come to visit.
It was obvious that that would never happen now.
She had not said straight out that she wanted a divorce, but she had never said that she didn't want one. But maybe, just like every other decision they had made, it was for the best.
He glanced around the room again. The word 'Divorce' had changed his whole outlook on the room. This used to be the happiest place in the school for him. This was the first place that they had ever kissed, it was locked in this room that they first admitted they loved each other; It was in this place that they had first explored their love for each other. And this room had memories for them beyond the times that they were locked in.
While Ginny was still a seventh year and Draco was an assistant professor, they used to meet in this closet for a little bit of person time. Yes, this closet held nice memories.
But now, this memory had tainted all of the nice ones.
He moved to the one side of the room, the opposite side to what Ginny was sitting at, and he himself sat. He watched as she cried and tried desperately to hold back his own tears.
How would they explain it all to the boys, Zeke was only 7 years old and the twins were 5, there was no way that they would be able to understand what it really meant to have their parents splitting up. They boys would probably try to be brave, they would pretend that they knew what was going on, but deep down they would be suffering.
He had wanted to stay with Ginny for the boys sake, not only his own. He didn't want his children to suffer, but he knew that the day would come when he would have to cause them pain.
"Do you want to look after the boys after all this is final, or would you like me to look after them?" Draco asked, looking up from his spot on the floor. Ginny looked at him.
"Could we not talk about this now place, I don't want to start dividing up our joint assets, not yet" She replied, she sounded small and sad, almost fragile.
"Ok, I understand that" he replied, he didn't really want to talk about it either, but he knew that it would only be a matter of time before the issues like this would have to be covered.
"In fact, I don't want to talk about anything with you, you stay on that side of the room, and I will stay here" Ginny replied, Draco couldn't help but smile.
"On this side of the room?" He asked rhetorically, indicating to the side of the room he was sitting on.
"Yes ..... Stay there in Malfoy land" Ginny replied, realization finally hitting her. She couldn't help but smile also. Malfoy land.
"Malfoy land where I am king"
