Chapter 1:
Three months, three long and dragging months. The git is definitely going to get it once I get my hands on him. I don't even care if he's the father of my children. I am so damn tired of waiting.
Virginia Weasley was again sitting on her favorite chair, waiting for bloody sodding Malfoy to come home to her. She had come back to her childhood home after finding out that she was with child. Actually with children was more appropriate since she was expecting twins.
"Can I please have a sandwich?" She shouted to no one in particular. And soon enough an annoyed Harry Potter walked to her side and presented her with a tuna sandwich, followed by a very amused Hermione Granger.
"I didn't know it was that easy to get the Boy Who Lived at your beck and call."
"Hermione! When did you arrive?" Ginny said as she started to stand up from her position, forgetting the sandwich she demandingly asked for.
"Oh, just a few minutes ago."
Harry stalked out of the room muttering something under his breath that suspiciously sounded like `women'. Harry did not really have a reason as to why he was there at the Burrow since he had already taken up residence at his real home, Godrick's Hollow. This was just one of those days that he had nothing in to do. But as soon as he arrived, Ron welcomed him immediately and ran past him, smiled, and told him to take care of his sister while he was away. Somehow, a nice quiet afternoon, doing nothing, suddenly felt more intriguing than having to spend it with a very pregnant, very emotional and very demanding Ginny Weasley, which explains why he was now inside the kitchen, reading old issues of the Daily Prophet.
"Well, come on now, sit with me, and tell me everything that's been happening." Ginny who was now on the family couch said. A soft grumbling hum sounded as Hermione walked towards her. "Here you can have my sandwich, just don't tell Harry I gave it to you. He'll just get more annoyed." Hermione accepted and joined her in sitting thankfully noting the fact that Ginny noticed her hunger.
"Hmm, I don't know where to start. Let's see." Hermione knitted her brows and evidently was thinking where to begin. She laid out her plans for finishing her book, which was entitled Back From The War, and continued on how she put into act, her promise of not mentioning Draco's real involvement in the demise of Lord Voldemort. She also chatted on about her ongoing research as to what really happened to Ginny when she had the accident, the accident that she miraculously recovered from right after Draco's disappearance. At this point of Hermione's relaying of events, Ginny couldn't look at the young lady beside her anymore. Her eyes started to brim with tears and then she softly began to cry.

Lucius Malfoy's words clouded Draco's thoughts. If you were to look upon him, you would see a dazed young man, struggling with emotion. He felt a pain jab through his heart as realization dawned upon him. He could never ever see Virginia Weasley again. Never again shall he be able to touch her milky skin and breath her heavenly scent or hear her melodious laughter and her mellow voice or ever truly say how much he deeply loved her. His future children shall never know how much they meant to him. He shall never hear them utter their first words or see them walk their first steps. He would never see them accidentally hex their uncles and trigger motherly anger from Virginia. He would so very much want to just hold them and drift of sleep but it could never happen. And the most painful of all, he cannot let his children know that he loved them. That he loved Virginia and his children very dearly.
Author's Note:
I am so sorry for the delay. School's been real hectic since the time I posted this so-called teaser. I'm really sorry guys. *crouches in a corner and hope she's forgiven* Anyway, back to business. I decided to make this a real chapter instead of a teaser. Here's the reason why, sometime during my absence, a virus got into my computer system and started deleting files without my knowing. Kinda stupid I know, not taking precautions and stuff. Which leads me to the next part of my story. No files equals no chappie. Now what I'm doing now is trying to recreate, so to speak, the old chapter I came up with before the whole deletion thing happened. But it might take a while, since finals are coming up. Real sorry, again, for the nth time.
