Tales from the Cell
Chapter Three
A/n: XD Christmas Eve. I'm wrapping and writing. Wee.
"I'm really glad you came, Ginny. Oh, Isabelle looks adorable. They'll love her...........oh and you! You look stunning!" Hermione beamed as she stepped up beside Ginny, standing before a large mirror.
Isa sat on a tall chair, picking at a flower in her basket.
The three were in a chamber to left of the field where Ron and Hermione were to be wed. Dumbledore would bind them as they said their vows.
Ginny turned to Hermione and smiled, nodding.
"I'm glad I came. Really glad."
*
Harry and Ron stood beside Dumbledore, Harry watching his shoes and thinking things over. Ron was whistling, looking up and twitching whenever someone made a noise.
Isabelle skipped through the isle, flinging white rose pedals all over the ground. She waves delightedly to Harry and Ron before taking her seat next to Mrs. Weasley in the front.
Suddenly the familiar wedding tune struck up and Ron and Harry's heads snapped up to see Ginny, held in between Fred and George. The twins wore matching suits with bright yellow ties.
But Harry didn't notice. He was looking straight at Ginny. Her hair was held in a bun, two long curls hanging at the sides of her face. Her warm brown eyes gleamed as she patted Fred on the shoulder and took her place to the left of Dumbledore.
Harry was so caught up in Ginny and her beautiful gown that he was shocked into reality as Hermione took her place beside Ginny.
Ahh, Hermione. She looked splendid! Her hair, which had never lost its curl but shed the fuzz long ago, fell down her shoulders. Her pure white gown made her look an angel and it was clear Ron thought that as much as everyone else.
His ears turned red as she looked up at him and smiled.
All eyes were on the couple as Dumbledore joined them together in holy matrimony. Every pair of ears that belonged to the Weasley's lit up as Ron and Hermione kissed.........and kissed..... Harry smirked and coughed, forgetting his problems as he leaned forward and tapped his best friend's shoulder.
Ron's ears turned, if possible, even redder as he broke the kiss. Hermione giggled and looked out to large crowd, waving lightly at her father who was babbling and pointing at them.
*
After the ceremony, everyone herded into a large ballroom and sat around an immense table that seated them all comfortably. Ginny and Isabelle took seats in between Hermione and Molly Weasley.
Harry bit his lip and looked towards every few minutes as he talked mindlessly with Ron and the twins.
Soon, Harry was standing, giving the "Best Man's Speech." When he was finished he lifted his glass. His action was mirrored by everyone at the table, except for one.
Ginny was not at her seat and neither was her daughter. Hermione whispered to Harry that Isa had to use the bathroom....Sure she did.
*
After a wonderful dinner that had been prepared by most of the women in the Weasley family together, the dance floor was opened up.
Ron and Hermione glided across the floor and soon everyone was joining them. Hermione was passed from Ron, to her father, to Dumbledore, to Harry, to the twins (at the same time), and finally she was spun back to Ron.
Harry stepped down after his dance and sat back, watching everyone dance. He was the only one off the dance floor, except for Ginny was sitting and spinning her daughter playfully at the head of the table.
Bill Weasley jumped from the crowd and loped towards Ginny, offering a hand. Harry couldn't hear what was said, but the two seemed to be gesturing a lot towards Isabelle. Ginny shrugged and began to sat, but before she could rest for a second, Bill had pointed towards Harry and Isabelle was running towards him.
Harry wasn't ready for the blow to his chest as Isabelle rammed into his stomach and enveloped him into a large hug.
What an odd thing. He could barely remember her name, and yet she seemed to love him. She loved him despite how much he had screwed up her life.
Ginny looked up and his emerald eyes locked onto Ginny's. She scowled but took Bill's hand and soon disappeared into the dance floor.
Isabelle looked up and poked Harry on the nose.
"Hi!! Hi!" She giggled.
"Hello, El- Isabelle. How are you?"
"I'm not too good today, Harry."
"Aw, and why is that?"
"I miss my daddy, Harry. Don't you miss him?" She looked up hopefully, tilting her head. Harry watched as her strawberry blonde hair, a mix of her parent's, fell off her shoulder. She smirks and Harry grimaced, oh how he remember that smirk. Why didn't she smile like him? Why couldn't her hair be pure as midnight, just like his? Oh, that's right, Ginny had chosen a Death Eater over him.
Suddenly he was filled with a spark of anger. He looked to Isabelle and smiled.
"I don't miss him all that much dear."
Isabelle blinked, her young mind barely comprehending the concept of hate. "Why not?"
"Because your father was a very bad ma-"
"HARRY POTTER!" Ginny Weasley, red faced, had emerged from the crowd. Her hands were clenched at her site. Her jaw was tight as she strode forward, raising a fist.
Harry squinted as he was hit full in the face. He stumbled back, Isabelle hopping off him. Ginny snorted, took Isabelle up in her arms and ran out of the ballroom.
From outside, a shadowy figure rose a filled glass towards the departing figure Ginny Weasley.
*
Ginny, tears streaming down her face ran all the way to The Leaky Cauldron, nodded to the owner and threw floo into the fire place.
Leaving the barkeep in awe, she shouted "home" and was soon standing in her living room.
Isabelle blinked up at her mother, having not said a word since her conversation with Harry.
"Momma, is daddy bad?"
Ginny looked down at her daughter, thinking.
"No, No Isa, he's not. Harry is bad. Now it's bed time. Hop off to the bathroom and brush your teeth...."
*
Hours after Isabelle and Ginny had fallen into troubled sleep, Ginny awoke with a start.
It was nothing new, she woke up many times during the night, remembering that she was alone. She rolled over onto the other side of the bed, where Draco had slept.
She was used to the cold of the sheets, but...the cold never came. The usually empty, frigid side of the bed was warm.
Ginny stumbled from the bed and crept out into the hallway. She heard voices, heard Isabelle.
She swore and dropped to her stomach, sliding towards her daughter's room. The door was cracked and Ginny could see Isa, her lamp light on, mumbling to a shadowy figure on the other side of the room.
Isabelle turned and pointed towards Ginny and the figure started. Ginny jumped to her feet, looking for her wand, somewhere in her pockets. She kept her eyes on the figure as she found her wand and raised it.
The figure stopped in the door way and held out his hands.
"Stop, Ginny."
Ginny's want clattered to the floor. She dropped to her knees, watching as the figure pushed back his hood, revealing a mop of blond hair and a pair of piercing blue eyes.
"Draco??"
