Chapter 6- Epilogue.

Harry had been gone only for an hour and Ginny was already lonely. Brandy was at her aunt's house and no one was home. Not even Grandma Black would speak to her.

She trekked up to the attic and quietly took down the trunk that had been sitting in the dust for years.

She opened it and to her surprise it was Sirius' trunk.

Inside there were engravings of the Marauders names. Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs. She smiled. It was so sad. Only two of the four friends were alive. Peter that traitor should be erased form the sands of time and poor Remus had lost all his friends to only gain a wife, a child and two grandchildren. She sat there reminiscing about times when Harry was fully there. Sirius had been a big part of him and when he had died a part of Harry died with him. She wept a few tears for her old friends.

'Mum, you home?' a voice said.

'Hello Grama.'

'Hello darling. Your mother is in the living room.'

'Thanks.' Brandy said.

Brandy entered the living room and saw her mother wiping away tears.

'Whose trunk is this?' the nine-year ole girl asked.

'You father's god dad.' Ginny said.

'I never knew he had one.' Brandy said.

'Yep. He doesn't talk about him.'

'Why?'

'Because he was murdered.' Ginny said.

'By who?' she said.

'Voldemort.' Ginny said.

'Voldemort?' she asked.

'Who's he?' she said.

'Well along time ago, there was a dark wizard whose name was Tom Riddle. He wanted to be a very powerful wizard. HE wanted to have a name that all wizards were afraid to say. His father was a muggle and he refused to keep it so he changed his name. He changed it to Lord Voldemort. He soon became very powerful and would kill people who didn't want to follow him. He began to get more and more followers soon many people had died and more were to die. Voldemort wanted two people in particular on his side their named were, James and Lily Potter.'

'Daddy's parents?' she asked.

'Yes. Now he went to their house one night about a year after your dad was born. He killed your grandparents and then turned his wand on your dad. He was only a baby but he survived the curse. He destroyed Voldemort. Many people believe that Voldemort died that night but the truth is that he was drained of his power. He came back many times in many different shapes but he died the year you were born.' She finished.

'Cool. How did he die.'

'He just died. No one but your father knows. And he wont tell a soul.' She said.

'Oh.' He face fell.

'Anyway what do you want for dinner? Daddy's gone away again. He won't be back for a while.'

'Um, can we have noodles?' she asked.

'Sure.' Ginny smiled.' She closed the trunk and stood up.

~Next day~

Ginny sat at the kitchen table drinking tea when an owl zoomed through the open window.

'Hello Pig. What have you got for me?' she asked the owl.

He stuck out his leg and let Ginny take off his letter.

'Thank you.' She said.

The tiny owl flew out the window.

'OMG! She had a baby girl!' she yelled when she heard Hermione's good news.

'What are you on about mum?' Brandy asked as she came into the kitchen.

'Aunt Hermione had a baby girl.' Ginny said.'

'Cool!' Brandy said.

'Mum, I'm going over to Bry's okay?'

'Okay.' Ginny said.

~2 weeks later~

'Ginny? Where are you?' Harry yelled.

'In the bedroom Harry.' She yelled back.

'Hey.'

'You're home!'

'Yes. At least for a while.'

'A while. We could have DIED and you wouldn't know! You're gone for weeks at a time. Brandy doesn't even remember what you look like!'

'Yes I do. Hello daddy.' She ran to give him a big hug.

#She never gives me hugs#

'Hey honey. Guess what?'

'What?'

'I brought you something.'

'What did you bring me daddy?'

'Well it doesn't fly but it does look absolutely beautiful.'

'What is it?'

'Turn around.' He said.

'Okay.' She said and turned.

He clasped a clasp and smiled as he heard his daughter gasp.

'Oh it's beautiful!' she said.

'Just like you sweetie!' he said.

#I wish he'd talk to me like that#

'Thank you daddy!' she said and ran off to her room.

'I brought you something too.' He said to his wife.'

'Harry you didn't have to.' She said.

'Well I knew you might be a bit mad at me. So I bought you… this.'

She gasped.

'Harry whatever for? We never go out!' she said as she looked at the beautiful dress that he was holding.

'Well I also got these.' He passed her an envelope.

'Harry?'

'Open it.' He said.

She opened the envelope and gasped again.

'The theatre? We are going to the theatre?' she asked.

'Yes we are.' He nodded.

'Not only the theatre but the muggle theatre.' He said.

'Oh Harry!' she kissed him and gave him a hug.

'Go get changed.' He said.

'Okay. But who's going to baby-sit Brandy?'

'Oh Alyssa said she'd come over.' He said.

'Alyssa?'

'Herm's mum.'

'Oh.' She ran into her bathroom and changed. He took off his work cloaks and changed into a suit.

'You look beautiful Ginny.' He said when she came from the bathroom.

'Thank you Harry.' she said.

They had a lot of fun at the theatre that night.

~Couple of days later~

'HARRY JAMES POTTER!'

'Yes Ginny!' he yelled form his spot on the floor of the living room.

'An owl just came from the ministry.'

'Shit.' He whispered.

'Get your ass in here!' she yelled.

'Coming!'

'What is this, bug Harry during holiday?' she said.

'What are you talking about?'

'They want you to come in to work!' she yelled.

'I told them that I wasn't working today. Give me the letter.' He said.

'It came with this.'

He took the letter and read it carefully.

'Shit! This is great! Ginny honey I know I promised to stay home but this is big! I really need to do this.'

'Fine. Do what the hell you want to.' She yelled at him and stormed up to the spare room.

'Honey?' he said. He shook his head and went upstairs.

He packed his bag and knocked on the door to the spare room.

'Honey, I'm leaving. You okay?' he asked.'

'I'm fine.' She said.

'Bye.'

'Bye.' She said.

He left.

~Two weeks later~

Dearest Ginny,

I'm fine. I can't tell you where I am but I am safe. I hope you are well. I'll see you soon.

Love always,

Harry.

'Wow, so nice of him to send a letter.' She said.

'Brandy!'

'Yeah?'

'I'm going out! I'm taking you to Grandma's house okay.'

'Okay.' She said.

A few moments later they were standing in Mrs. Weasley's kitchen.

'Hello mum. Could you look after Brandy for a while?' she asked.

'Sure. She can come to Ron's with me.' Molly said.

'Thanks. I'll see you later sweetie.' She said. She saw her daughter nod and then she disappeared with a pop.

~IN MUGGLE LONDON~

Ginny sat at a small teashop just 10 minutes away from The Leaky Cauldron. She sat sipping her tea. When she was finished she went on her way not really watching where she was going. She suddenly bumped into a tall man.

'Oh I'm sorry. I didn't see you.' The man said.

'No it's my fault.' She said. She looked up at this tall man.

'Hello, my name Ginny Potter.' She said.

'Hayden Marshall.' He said.

'Are you al right?' he asked.

'Yes I'm fine.'

'I'm so sorry. How about I take you out for dinner Ginny. To make it up to you.'

'That isn't necessary.' She said. Her stomach took that very opportune time to rumble.

'Yes it is. Come on.' He said.

She nodded and slipped her wedding ring into her bag.

'So where are you form Hayden?'

'Oh I'm from Swindon.' He said.

'Wow, I live in London at the moment.' She said.

'Cool.' He said.

They talked into the night.

'So Ginny, how do I get a hold of you?' he asked.

'Well I'll be at the Leaky Cauldron for a week.' She said.

'You mean that tiny tavern that no ones seems to enter.'

'Yes a friend of mine owns it.' She said.

'Oh interesting. I'll call you there.' He said.

'Okay. I must be going. It was nice meeting you.'

'Yes it was indeed.' He nodded and kissed her cheek.

'Wow!' she said as she headed for the Leaky Cauldron.

'Wow!' he said as he headed for his hotel.

'Mrs. Potter, you have a phone call.' Tom called up the stairs.

'Who is it?' wondering if Harry had finally found her.

'Someone named Hayden.' He said.

'Thank you.' She said as she raced past him.

'Hello, Hayden?' she said as she reached the phone.

'Hi Ginny. How is everything?' he asked.

'Great. How are you?'

'I'm fine. I've been thinking about you all weekend. I was wondering of you'd like to come to my apartment for dinner this week?'

'That sounds great. When shall I come?'

'How about tonight?' he asked.

'Are you sure?' she asked.

'Positive.'

'Okay, we'll what's your address?'

'12 Rickley Drive.' He said.'

'And what time should I be there?' she asked.

'About 7 o'clock.' He said.

'Okay. I'll see you then.' She smiled and put down the phone. She looked at her watch. 5:30 pm.

#Well, an hour and a half. What shall I do? #

She went upstairs and ran herself a bath. She piled her hair on her head and sat in the warm water for an hour.

It was 6:55 when Ginny apparated behind Hayden's apartment building. She walked around until she found the front door. She walked up to his door and knocked.

'Come in.' he yelled.

'Hello?' she said.

'In the kitchen Ginny.' he called.

She made her way to the small kitchen.

'Hey Hayden.' she said.

He came around to her and kissed her lightly on her lips.

She blushed.

'So what's for dinner?' she asked.

'Steak and ceaser salad. With white wine.' he said.

'Sounds good.' she said.

'Okay, it's ready. Sit down.' he said. He put a plate in front of her.

~After Dinner~

'So Ginny, did you have any plans for tomorrow?' she asked.

'Well I have to pick up Brandy from my mother's house.'

'Who's Brandy?' he asked

'Oh I haven't told you about her? She's my daughter.'

'You have a daughter?' he asked.

'Yes. She's 9 years old.'

'Oh.' he said.

'She's from my marriage.' she said.

#I'm lying to this man!#

'Marriage?' he asked.

'Oh, I'm divorced.' she lied.

'Oh.' he said settling down a bit.

'Yes. Harry and I got divorced a couple of months ago. He was away on business a lot.' she said.

'Yeah my ex-wife was like that too.'

'You were married?'

'Yes, Jaime and I were married a long time ago. We divorced about 6 years ago.' he said.

'Interesting.' she looked at her watch and sighed.

She should be going home soon.

'It's getting late.' she said.

'Yes it is.' he said.

He looked at her.

'You're beautiful Ginny.' he said.

'Thank you.'

#My god why is he looking at me like that?#

'Any way I really must be going.' she said.

'Don't go. Stay here.' he said huskily.

'But...' she started to say.

He kissed her.

It felt so good. Soon she was kissing him back.

She tried to stop a few times but it just felt good.

'Hayden, please....'

'Please what Ginny?'

'Screw me!' she said brazenly.

He picked her up took her towards his room. He laid her down on his bed and began to strip off her clothes. He planted a kiss every where he took of clothes.

Soon she was completely naked. She squirmed under the mixture of pain and pleasure. In a matter of moments he was naked lying beside her in his king sized bed.

During the night you could hear cries of pleasure coming form Hayden's bedroom.

~The next day~

'What time do you have to pick up your daughter?' he asked her after giving her, her breakfast.

'Not until 6 this evening.' she said.

'Oh, would you mind staying with me today?' he asked.

'I can if you come to my room.'

'Okay, I'll meet you there in an hour.' he said.

'Okay.' she said.

She dressed in her clothes and exited the building.

2 minutes later she appeared in front of the Leaky Cauldron.

'Mrs. Potter, you have a delivery.' Tom said.

'Where is it?' she asked.

'In your room.' he said.

'Thank you Tom.' she said and ran up the stairs. She entered the room to see dozens of roses placed on the bed and dressers.

#MY GOD!#

She picked up the card that lay on her entrance table.

Dearest Ginny,

I love you with all my heart.

H.

'Aww, Hayden. That was so sweet.'

She raced downstairs and walked to the bar.

'Tom, are there any extra messages that go along with my delivery?'

'Yes, Mr. Potter told me to tell you that he hopes you like them and that he will be home in a few weeks.'

Her face fell.

'Thank you Tom. I have a meeting in 25 minutes. Hayden Marshall will be arriving soon. Could you send him up to my rooms.'

'Of course.' Tom said.

'Thank you Tom.'

He nodded and watched her walk up the stairs.

'Oh by the way Tom, he's a muggle.' she threw over her shoulder.

'Damn it!' he whispered.

He peered around. Many wizards and witches were sitting drinking or chatting. He pulled his wand out and muttered an incantation. The muggle would never realize he had walked into a wizard tavern. Damn Ginny Potter. Why was she inviting muggles to The Leaky Cauldron? Harry would like to know about this. He thought.

Harry had called only a few short hours ago to give his trusted friend Tom a message.

~2 hours ago~

'Tom please.' Harry's voice came over the phone.

'Speaking.' a voice said.

'Hello Tom it's Harry.'

'Yes Mr. Potter, how may I help you?' he asked.

'Is my wife there?' Harry asked.

'Not at the moment.'

'Oh, Well please give her a message.'

'Yes Mr. Potter and the message is?'

'Tell her that I hope she likes the flowers and I'll be coming home soon.'

'Of course Mr. Potter and is they're anything else?' Tom asked.

'Yes, could you call me if anything out of the ordinary happens in the tavern and if my wife misbehaves.' he asked.

'Of course and where am I supposed to call you?'

'I'll give you the number.'

'Of course Mr. Potter.'

'Thank you.' he said and rang off.

~Present~

A Stranger walked into the tavern. He walked towards the bar.

'Hello, I have a meeting with Ginny Potter.' he said.

'Hayden Marshall?' Tom asked.

'Yes.'

'This way.' he said.

'Thank you.'

Tom led the man to Ginny's rooms. AS he knocked he heard Ginny call.

'Come in.'

Inside she was sitting at a small desk she had transfigured.

'Hello Mr. Marshall. Thank you Tom.' she nodded and the door closed.

Tom went downstairs and picked up the scrap piece of paper he had written the number Harry had given him.

He dialled the number and soon was talking to Harry.

~A week later. ~

Ginny was sitting in her kitchen. She had received a letter from Harry telling her he'd be home on June 2nd.

June 2nd had come quickly and now Ginny was waiting for her husband.

'Ginny?' he called as he entered the house.

'In the kitchen.' she called.

He came into the kitchen and kissed her.

"Hello Gin.'

'Hi Harry.'

'What have you been up to?'

'Nothing much. I went shopping in muggle London. Stayed at the Leaky Cauldron. But you already knew that.' she said.

'Yes I did. Did you like the flowers?'

'Yes very much!'

'Good. I'm sorry, I promise on Sirius' grave that I'm staying home for the next two weeks.' he said.

'Okay.'

'Now where's Brandy?'

'Mum's.' she said.

'Okay, well what are we going to do?'

'Well I was planning on going up to the fourth floor and doing some dusting.' she said.

'Or we could go to the second floor and have some fun.'

'We could do that.' she said.

'Well let's go.' he picked up her hand and pulled her to their bedroom.

In the heat of passion Ginny was yelling out. Unfortunately she yelled out the wrong name.

'OH GOD HAYDEN OH GOD. DON'T STOP!'

'Who the HELL is HAYDEN?' Harry asked.

'Nobody!' Ginny said.

'DON'T LIE TO ME GINNY! WHO THE HELL IS HAYDEN?' he yelled.

'Nobody!' she said.

'Ginny!' he said warningly.

'He's someone I met in London!'

'And of course you screwed him you little WHORE!' he yelled.

'And I wouldn't screw other people if you had been home!' she screamed.

'You were the one who told me to take the FUCKING job!' he yelled back.

'Well you didn't have to take the fucking job!' she screamed.

'I'm LEAVING!' he yelled. 'I WANT YOU OUT OF MY FUCKING HOUSE BY THE TIME I GET BACK YOU STUPID BITCH!'

'And what if I don't want to leave?' she asked.

'I don't give a damn. You slept with someone else. You're a whore!'

'I'm not a WHORE!' she yelled.

'GET THE FUCK OUT!'

'What about Brandy?'

'Take her with you. Let her decide I don't give a fuck just get out!' he said.

'FINE!' she yelled.

'FINE!' he said as he slammed the door shut.

Ginny ran up to her room not noticing a small girl watching from the third floor.

Brandy had witnessed everything.
