Epilogue
Egypt
He stood at the end of the platform and stared after the train. His heart thumped with pain and a mixture of everything else together. He truly lost her this time. All he'd had to do was tell her, confess to her and she would still be there right now. But he didn't, that's why she's gone.
"Bloody hell, Draco, you lost her for good this time," he said to himself. "How dumb could you have been? You could have stayed yesterday and told her, yet you didn't. Now, you apparate here to."
Draco paused and he was sure there was a something bright floating over his head. He had an idea, an excellent idea that'll get him to Ginny and tell her everything. But there was one slight problem: the train barely had any concealed spots except for the cubicles and if he apparated at the wrong time, he could end up in there with another person.
He shook his head and the light bulb disappeared. He has to get a train ticket and travel there the muggle way. He was new at apparating and he couldn't apparate very far. So he couldn't apparate to Egypt. Then another thought came into his mind. Floo powder could get him there. He possibly couldn't wait for a portkey; it took too long.
The men's lavatory was completely empty. He didn't even use one of the cubicles to apparate.where? His own house didn't have the Floo Network. His father obviously thought it wasn't the way wizards at their rankings should travel, so they'd always used portkeys. Only other wizards use it because they were lower ranking such as...the Weasleys.
That was it; Draco was going to have to tell the Weasleys everything so he could use their Floo Network and travel to wherever he must and begin his search for Ginny. That was his plan.
He thought of the room that he was in with Ginny the night before and before he knew it, there was a popping noise and he was in Ginny's room. The candles were still on the tables; their flames blown out.
Draco opened the door and walked out. When he was in the hallway, he had a terrible encounter with a wand in his face. He reached for his, but he remembered that he left it with his robe where it was sitting now, on top of his dresser with the letter too.
This day could not get any worse, he thought. Then he took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley."
Ron's eyes glared back at him and he did not look like he was going to lower his wand anytime soon. "What do you want with my parents, Malfoy?" he asked, his voice very, very cold. "First you want to speak with my sister, but you leave all of a sudden. Now you want to speak to my parents? What in the world is going on here?"
Draco sighed and stared at Ron as if he were very bored. He said, "You want to know what's going on here, Wea.Ron?" he had to use first names if he wanted to get through. "Well, I'll tell you what's going on here. But, I need your parents here too. They have to hear it too."
Ron was very uncertain, but his wife popped in on the scene. She came out of what must be the bathroom, wiping at her mouth as if she has just thrown up and stared in shock at the two. "Ron, what is going on here? What is Malfoy doing here and why is your wand in his face?"
Before Ron had a chance to answer, Draco spoke. He needed to get on Granger's good side. For now, she was the only person who can get him downstairs to where the most of the family members were. "I need to speak to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley now. It's about Ginny and it's very important."
Granger thought about it, her mind thinking it over. Draco only wished she would hurry, what with a wand in his face all this time, it was enough to paranoid the most powerful wizard.
Finally, she nodded. "Fine, under one condition, Malfoy. If you so much as do one thing wrong or make one wrong step, I'll have Ron blast off your little blonde head."
Draco wanted to sneer and threaten her back, but there were things more important than keeping the Malfoy name. He nodded and walked forward, Ron's wand on the back of his head all the while.
The Weasleys were seated around the table with Mr. Weasley at the head of it and Mrs. Weasley at the end of it. Their two daughters-in-law were setting out food and cooking.
When Draco entered, there was a sudden silence in the room so foreboding that he flinched. He slowly walked to the table, trying not to make any wrong steps as Granger had put it and stood before the family. "Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, I'm in love with your daughter."
The silence was suddenly filled with gasps and Ron's wand pushed hard into his head. He winced, but didn't dare turn back. "I know it's sudden, but I have for a long time."
"Is that so?" one of the twins said. "Then what happened in her fourth year? Wasn't it you who caused her to come crying into Gryffindor's common room? Wasn't it you who told her to forget everything? Or was it someone else who happened to look exactly like you?"
Draco ignored that and stared at the parents. "I know what I did was wrong, that's what I wanted to tell her. I tried to tell her yesterday, but Pot.Harry came in and I was force to leave."
"Then why didn't you tell her this morning at the train station?" Mr. Weasley questioned. "Why did you even tell her to forget everything in her fourth year? Answer that."
"I will," he answered. "I didn't tell her this morning because I couldn't. I thought I wasn't good enough for her and that she deserved someone better. But the more I think about it, especially what one of your daughters-on-law said, I realized that fate didn't let this happen on accident.
"And I told her to forget everything in her fourth year because I was protecting her," he said, pausing for a second. "From who? You ask, from my father. If he had found out that she and I were secretly having a relationship, he would have done something terrible. I knew that the only thing to keep her safe is to let her go."
Ron took his wand away from Draco's head at last and he asked the last question that Draco wasn't sure he could answer. "Is that so? Then why do you return now and tell us that you love her? Your dad is in Azkaban so now it's safe to return and ask Ginny back? How can you prove that you love her?"
Granger answered it and Draco had to admit, he could not have been anymore thankful. "Their love was always behind closed doors and we never see what's behind closed doors. He does love her, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Everything he said was a fact."
"You came here to tell us this?" Mrs. Weasley asked. "Are you asking us for her hand in marriage or what?"
Draco shook his head quickly and glanced at their fireplace. "I wanted to use your Floo Network to get to Egypt. I can't apparate because I'm not at the level to apparate far yet and I can't fly because I'll be seen. Is it okay with you?"
Silence filled the room for quite some time before Mr. Weasley stood up. He stared at Draco hard and then his face softened and he pointed to the fireplace. "If you truly love my daughter, then go find her. You can use the Floo Network and travel to Egypt's Gringotts Bank where Bill works and begin your search from there. But if you hurt her, I'll have no mercy and wring your neck myself. Am I understood?"
Draco nodded frantically before anyone knew it; he was gone and ended up in Egypt's Gringott bank. He immediately began his search for her, and before long, he came across her brother, the one with the long hair.
"I'm." he began, but the brother cut him off with a hand. "No need to say anything, mum and dad already told me. And from what you did, asking everyone here for her, I believe you do love her. She's in a flat down the road. I wish you the best of luck.
Draco turned to leave, but Bill stopped him. "And if you do so much as hurt her, I'll help my father in wringing your neck. I'll even be there to make sure that you are six feet under."
Draco nodded again and rushed out of the bank. He soon found the flat down a very crowded street. The door was unlocked and he opened it, his insides were twisting with excitement and hope. The door swung opened and a flaming head turned around to reveal chocolate eyes, staring at him in total shock.
"Draco," she said.
A\N: Yay! He found her. So now, what's gonna happen? Sorry for the cliffhanger, but if I get enough reviews; I'll make a sequel to it. So what did you guys think huh? Hopefully you liked it. I know there are lots of things that I need to improve on such as my grammars and more, but this is the best I can do. Thanks for reading and review. Also, if there are any errors or misspelling, tell me.
