Tom Returns Chp.10 Out Bursts

"Well, I must say that was wicked awesome love."

"I told you it enhanced things didn't I?"

"And you were quite right."

"So did I prove what I said?"

"Hell Gin you proved that you wouldn't leave me for a zillionaire."

"Why would I do that? Your probably richer anyways."

"True, true."

"So are you tired yet?"

"Are you?"

"Yes, I'm beat."

"Well then lets go to bed."

With that said Ginny and Draco climbed under the covers and drifted off to sleep with Ginny entwined with Draco.

"Ron will you just listen to me?"

"Why Luna? Give me one good reason why."

"Because I love you and if you would let me talk then I'd tell you why it took me ten minutes to say yes."

"Fine"

"The reason it took me that long Ron, is because I had to stop and think about what you had asked me and if I was ready for marriage. It had nothing to do with whether I loved you or not. I love you till my hearts content but that doesn't mean that I am ready for marriage. I mean like you said yourself you've been planning this since before Draco and Ginny got engaged which means that you didn't ask me before then because you weren't ready to. Well I didn't have a whole month or more to decide that now did I? I only had ten minutes before you decided that my answer would be no and that we shouldn't get married because I took ten minutes to make a decision that will effect my entire life. Why can't you see that? I'm not like Ginny and Hermione; I stop to think about my decisions."

"Don't bring other people into this conversation Luna; they have nothing to do with it. I do forgive you for that but the fact still remains that if that question threw you that off whack maybe we shouldn't get married."

"But Ron how can you say that? Weren't you the one who just asked me to marry you?"

"Weren't you the one who just sat here and basically told me that you really weren't ready to get married?" with that Ron turned and headed up the steps to the burrow. When he came back down stairs he heard Luna sobbing in the living room. He turned and headed for the study that had just been added down stairs but felt bad so he headed back towards the living room. He found Luna laying on the couch only in her lingerie, crying.

"Please don't cry Luna."

"How can I not Ron? You just made it seem like you don't want to marry me when I was full and ready to tell you yes."

"You, you, want to get married?"

"Yes Ron, don't you get it? I just needed time to register what you asked me."

"Oh." Was all Ron could manage to get out.

"Do you still want to get married Ron?"

"Of course I do Luna. I love you and wouldn't have asked you if I didn't want to."

"Then my answers yes Ron. I want to get married. How about in the spring?"

"I think we should wait until we tell everyone tomorrow to even start thinking about a date. Oh and Luna?"

"What Ron?"

"I'm sorry. I should've listened and been a bit more understanding."

"It's alright Ron. Thanks. So what do you say we head up stairs and get some use out of this outfit?"

"I'm all for it if you are."

With that the couple headed upstairs and into Ron's bedroom.

"Harry?" Hermione whispered as she lay cradled in Harry's arms.

"Hmm?"

"I can't wait to go see the house tomorrow."

"Me too." Harry said sounding dazed and somewhat slurring his words.

"Night Harry."

"Night 'Mione"

"Come on you two. WAKE UP!" George yelled as he walked into Ginny's room.

"What do you want?" Draco said sitting up and letting the sheets slide off his chest not realizing that they also slid down of Ginny's top.

"Bloody hell Malfoy pull the sheets back up. She's my baby sister I don't want to see that." George said covering his eyes and turning around to face out of the door.

"Shit! Sorry 'bout that."

"Whatever. Mum says to get downstairs. It's nearly noon and you're still in bed and have to go see the house at 1:30."

"Thanks"

"Sure. Make sure you wake up Gin and whatever you do don't tell her."

"Gin wake up." Draco said lightly shaking her as he watched her eyes flutter open.

"Morning Draco." Ginny said smiling up at him.

"More like afternoon. George said it's almost noon and we go to see the house at 1:30 so we need to get up. Come on lets go take a shower."

"Okay."

Draco climbed out from under the sheet and grabbed his and Ginny's bath robes. He handed one to Ginny as she walked over to him and wrapped it around her. He put his on and they both headed out into the hall towards the bathroom.

"Oh no. I don't think so young lady. I think you two had enough fun last night. Draco you take your shower in here and Ginny you go take one in mine and your fathers' room."

"But mum."

"Don't but mum me. Go!"

"Fine."

Ron and Luna sat on Ron's bed with Luna wrapped in Ron's arms.

"So are we going to tell them or not?"

"Of course we are. Why wouldn't we?"

"I wasn't sure if you wanted to tell them or not."

"Oh alright."

"Hey Luna?"

"What Ron?"

"I know you always told me that you wanted kids but exactly how many do you want?"

"Anywhere from two to four I guess. I don't know maybe even five or six."

"Oh no. We can stick from two to five. No six. I am not going that close to my mothers' record. I mean she has seven children and wow another on the way."

"I know. Don't you find that somewhat weird though Ron? I mean your mother is what almost forty-eight right? Yeah I think so."

"Well most women stop having kids when they're like forty-five and such. It's going to be somewhat dangerous for her to have this baby. I hope it's a girl."

"It won't be."

"How do you know?"

"Because Ginny is the first girl to be born in the Weasley family in the past oh I think half-century. Something like that. And that's out of twenty- three Weasley men."

"Wow. I hope that doesn't follow you. I've always wanted a little girl."

"Well if we don't have a little girl by number three then we will adopt a little girl. Is that okay?"

"Fine with me as long as I get my little girl. You can have the little Weasley boys, I don't want them."

"Well you didn't seem to mind this little Weasley boy now did you?"

"You, my friend, are far from little." Luna said this with a wicked smile on her face as she stood up and walked out of Ron's room. Ron just sat there opened mouth and looked at her.

"I can't believe you said that. Now what happened to my innocent pure Luna?"

"She is now engaged and tends on losing her purity as soon as possible."

"Well we could take care of that right now if you'd like?"

"I don't think so. I can wait a bit longer. Are you coming?"

"Damn, thought I had you there. Yeah I'm coming." Ron said jokingly.

"Congratulations son! You have a fine catch here."

"Thanks dad."

"Finally asked did ya?" Harry said from the living room.

"Yup. See I'm not as chicken as you thought am I?"

"No, you're still a chicken. I mean you had that ring for a good three months."

"That is true. Oh well. Hey anyone know where Ginny is?"

"She's in the shower." Draco said from the steps.

"Oh." Was all Ron said before he turned back to Hermione who was standing next to him. Ron still had major problems with his sister and Malfoy being engaged but he had just dropped the subject for Ginny's sake. Just when he turned back around to go into the kitchen Ginny walked down the steps.

"Ginny look." Luna said as she held up her hand for Ginny to see the gold band with a medium diamond in the middle and two smaller ones to the sides of it.

"Congratulations Luna. I see Ron finally came out 0of his chicken suit." Everyone laughed as Ginny said this because of a Halloween that they spent in a muggle town. They had gone trick or treating and Ron had dressed up as a chicken.

"Yes he finally did."

"Like I said son, you made a wonderful catch."

"Thanks dad." Ron said somewhat quietly trying to look any other place then the hurt expression on his little sisters face. He knew what she was upset about. He watched her walk towards the front door and slip out quietly with no one else noticing.

"Good dad, great move."

"What are you going on about?"

"Do you not care about your only damn daughter?"

"Of course I do Ron. Why would you ask that question?"

"Because I know that I care about Ginny and that's why I'm not beating Malfoy to a bloody pulp and am at least trying to avoid confrontations for Ginny's sake. However you seem to do more and more things to piss her the fuck off."

"Ron what are you going on about? I didn't do anything."

"You have made a big deal about me proposing to Luna and Harry proposing to Hermione and yet you haven't said a damn congratulations to Ginny. I mean god dad how low could you get. Harry and Hermione aren't even your kids yet you make more of a deal out of their engagement then your own daughters. How do you live with yourself? Because I know if I were you and I acted the same way towards my only daughter who has only looked for your acceptance in the entire time that she's been engaged to Mal.Draco then I would kill myself for being so God Damned selfish." With that Ron turned and headed towards the front door, he quickly opened it and slammed it shut behind him. Ron left leaving an entire room stunned at his outburst.

"Ginny, are you alright?"

"I'm fine Ron. What the hell do you want?"

"Nothing, just came out here to see if you were alright and to give dad time to cool down after the fact that I just cussed him out."

"You did what?"

"I cussed him out."

"Why?"

"Because of you. He has been so supportive with Harry and Hermione's engagement and now mine and Luna's yet not once has he ever congratulated you on your engagement with Draco."

"Didn't know you cared. Considering that you haven't either. Come to think of it no one around me or who cares for me, or says they do besides Draco, has congratulated me and meant it."

"Gin.I'm sorry. Your right. I was to wrapped up in the fact that I disliked him and I guess I let hatred blind me when it came to you."

"I'm not worried about it now Ron. It's to late for anyone to say it and me care." With that Ginny turned and walked back to the burrow to get her jacket. It was 1:23 and they had to leave at 1:25 to get there on time. Ginny walked inside, grabbed her coat and headed back down stairs to find Draco.

Ron walked back into the house and looked around to see Luna, Harry, Hermione and Draco all standing together talking. He walked over to them and smiled at everyone; this time, including Draco.

Ron, Luna, Draco, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, and Mrs. Weasley all stood outside of a three story house/apartment. It was big enough to be a three story house but they called it an apartment for three families. All three floors had two master bedrooms w/full bathrooms, kitchen, two other bedrooms, a bathroom split between those two rooms, living room, dining room, family room and what looked like a study/library. Ron and Luna took the first flat, Harry and Hermione took the second flat and Draco and Ginny took the third flat. Ginny picked the top one because she knew that she would get more privacy on the top floor.

Ginny and Draco walked into explore their new flat. When you walked into the flat there was a long hard wood floor hall way. It led off into the family room which had two french doors connecting it into the living room. The Kitchen was separated from the family room with a wall that had and island on the other side of it and a big rectangle cut out of the wall so you could sit at the island and see directly into the family room. The kitchen was huge, it had a double sink, cabinets all the way across the walls, a lazy susan, and a huge refrigerator/freezer that came with the flat.

One of the master bedrooms had dark forest green carpet with a bench seat window that had cabinets underneath. The bathroom attached to that had a jacuzzi bath tub, shower, a double pedestal sink(a base with two separate sinks in it that share the same base.). and a huge walk in closet. Ginny decided that she and Draco would share this walk in closet and the other one, which was almost twice as big was going to become a nursery.

"Draco we are so turning this closet into a nursery."

"Why? There are three other rooms in the house."

"This is only for the first couple months until the baby can sleep all the way threw the night. We can just take the door off and take off where the hinges would be, do a nice paint job and put in a crib and maybe a rocking chair. Please Draco?"

"Fine, it's all up to you. But it's not like we need it right now."

"We will soon."

"And why is that?"

"Maybe you didn't hear Tom but he said we had a time limit. Ginny you don't have to conceive until after school is over and that's a good five months at least. We aren't taking any chances in two months we're going to start trying. It will give me plenty of time to finish school so we won't have to worry about it."

"Shit, Ginny I forgot completely about it and it's a good thing that you reminded me because that means that later tonight we have a meeting to go to."

"You never told me about that."

"Sorry love my dad sent me an owl telling me a while back, I guess I just forgot."

"You seem to be doing a lot of that today. Are there any meeting that we missed?"

"Nah, I don't think so."

"Ugh.men."

"Ha ha, very funny Gin, very funny."

"I know, aren't I just a comedian?"

"Of course."

"We better get going Draco, I like this flat don't you?"

"Hey I'm good for anything, as long as you like it that's fine. I mean this is where we are going to be raising our kids."

"Wow, you're right. I never thought about that."

"As long as my children are yours I'll be very happy."

"So will I."

"Are you two ready to leave?"

"Yes mum, we'll be down in a second."

"Alright, hurry up now you two."

"Yes mum."

Draco and Ginny headed down the steps towards the front door leading to all of the flats.

"So do you two like your flat?"

"Mum I love it. We have this big walk in closet next to where our bed will go and we're going to turn it into a nursery."

"You're.Are you pregnant Ginny?" Mrs. Weasley asked seeming some what shocked.

"No mum but when I get out of school I want to start my family. I have no need to start working right off. Draco has plenty of money so we thought that we would take a year off of work and start a family."

"But Ginny dear you're so young."

"Mum you had Bill when you were only sixteen; you weren't even out of Hogwarts when you had him."

"Yes and look where that got me I had seven children and another on the way. When we had the first and second, third, and so on we couldn't afford to have that many children so we struggled. However this time we will be able to afford the little boy."

"Why is everyone so sure that it's going to be a boy?" Luna asked cutting off the conversation between Ginny and Mrs. Weasley that would've been a disaster. Ginny turned around a mouthed a "Thank you" to Luna. Luna gradually nodded her head and looked at Mrs. Weasley.

"Because Luna, I figured Ron would've explained this. The Weasleys very rarely produce a female. Out of twenty-one Weasley men, in a half century there has only been one girl."

"I'm assuming that you mean Ginny."

"Yes, Ginny would be the one I'm talking about."

"I see, so why don't the Weasleys produce girls?"

"That I will tell you if you two have a little girl, only then will you need to know."

"Okay."

"We're ready to leave when ever you guys are."

"We can leave now." Mrs. Weasley said turning on her heel and leaving. She walked outside and climbed inside the back of their muggle vehicle.

"Be there in a second mum." Ron shouted towards his mother and then turned back around to Luna.

"Ron what's you mother going on about?"

"I have no idea but we'll just have to ask Ginny."

"Okay but lets go now and ask her later when we all get back to the burrow."

"Works for me."

Ron and Luna walked outside and they both slid into the car. Harry started up the muggle vehicle and drove off. They turned into the pathway up to the burrow and Ron leaned over to whisper in Ginny's ear.

"I need to talk to you when we get home. Met me upstairs in your room and get rid of your lover boy." Ron whispered in Ginny's ear.

"I'll meet you in my room but Draco is staying with me. I know what you want to know about and Draco already knows so it doesn't matter."

"Fine, whatever, all I care about is talking to you."

"Okay."

Ginny, Draco, and Ron all walked in the front door to the burrow and headed upstairs towards Ginny's room. They walked inside Ginny's room and shut the door.

"So what did you need Ron?"

"Ginny what was mum talking about earlier when she was explaining things to Luna about the Weasleys not producing girl but every half century and such?"

"She told you both that you didn't need to know unless you had a girl and only then would she tell you. I personally don't want you to know."

"But yet you let this know but not your own brother?"

"This happens to be my fiancée, incase you've forgotten, and also I am about to spend my entire life with him and he had a right to know. You don't, it only affects me."

"This has something to do with what happened in the Great Hall the other night right? With Pansy?"

"Why does it matter Ron?"

"Because I am about to move my fiancée and myself into the same building as you and if you're a danger then it's not happening." Ron said this so quickly he didn't even have time to think about what he said before he felt something collide with his jaw.

"Don't you ever fucking say that she's a danger. You're more of a danger then she is."

"You're calling me a danger? Yet your father is a death eater as are you. How can you even think that I'm a danger compared to you?"

"So am I" Ginny said looking directly at Ron.

"What did you just say?"

"I said So Am I. Do you need me to spell it out for you?"

"You're lying. He brain washed you. That's it, that would explain everything, the engagement, the black eyes, the burning, and the fact that you threw Pansy across the Great Hall with no wand."

"I'm not lying and I'm no brain washed. I'm a spy Ron."

"GINNY!" Draco yelled.

"Draco bugger off, I'm tired of having to lie to my family. It is causing so many problems."

"Fine Ginny. That's fine but you better make sure Dumbledore doesn't know that you told them."

"I won't."

"Wait Dumbledore knows about this?"

"Yes, he's the one who set up for us to do it."

"But Ginny, you're only sixteen. You do realize that Voldemort could kill you?"

"No Ron, he won't"

"And what makes you so sure?"

"I have something that belongs to him. He gave it to me in the chamber, it was the only way he could survive. If he kills me then he can never have it back and he wouldn't want that."

"What do you have of his?"

"That is none of your business Ron. So are we done here?"

"Hell no we are not. Do you expect me to just let you get off like that?"

"Umm, yes actually I do because I could always kick you out without you leaving and make it that easy."

"Then I'll just tell mum."

"Right go run off to mummy little Ronniekins. Wouldn't want for Ginny to hurt you, since I'm so dangerous."

"Ginny, you know I didn't mean it. I just didn't think before I said it."

"Exactly which means that you did mean it. If you think about everything you say before you say it then most of the time you end up not telling the truth or you only tell half of it."

"Ginny that's not."

"Just leave Ron before I make you leave."

"No! I don't think you have the right to tell me to leave."

"Fine, I'll just make you then." With that Ginny looked at the door as it swung open and looked towards Ron. She focused her energy on him and watched as he was pulled back by an invisible force outside of her door.

"Oh and Ron don't tell mum and dad, or for that matter anyone because that's my job." With that said Ginny waved her hand and turned to face Draco, hearing the door shut in the background.

"Well that was a nice show of what you can do."

"Yes it was but you want to see something better?"

"Sure what is it though?"

"This." Ginny kissed Draco and focused her energy on the ceiling. When she broke it off she looked down.

"Look down Draco"

"Damn Gin. This is wicked awesome."

Ginny and Draco were floating in mid air above Ginny's bed.

"You want to know something better?"

"What?"

"Every time we get really into making out we float. I know it never seems like it but I noticed it last night."

"Damn, I guess that means no getting into it in front of other people, like at parties and stuff."

"Yeah right. I know you to well you wouldn't do that."

"Oh I wouldn't would I?"

"No, you wouldn't."

"Fine, believe whatever you want."

"I will."

"Gin I really need to talk to you."

"About?"

"About the baby. I mean are you actually ready for a child? I know I'm not ready to be a father but I'm going to try if you're still willing to go ahead with it."

"Draco I am ready to have this baby. I mean we have to have it anyway, don't we?"

"Well no, you don't have to because you can back out whenever you want."

"But you can't Draco and if I back out you can't very well have my baby without me, now can you? They'll kill you if we don't Draco and I wouldn't be able to live without you."

"But are you sure that you want to spend the rest of your life with me Gin?"

"Draco how can you even ask me that? If I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with you then I never would've said yes when you proposed."

"I know but I thought I'd ask before we left to go to our meeting tonight. I get the mark tonight Gin and I don't want to do this if I'm going to lose you anyway."

"Why are you getting the mark tonight? I thought that you didn't get it until after I conceived."

"So did I but Voldemort wants me to get it tonight. Lets just hope he doesn't change his mind for you. He might though Ginny so I want you to be ready."

"Why would he change his mind about me?"

"Because you aren't like some of the women death eaters."

"What's so different about me?"

"You can do serious damage to him and he can't use you as one of his toys."

"That's true so what does he do if he can't?"

"You'll have to get the mark Ginny and I don't know. Are you ready for that?"

"I'll be ready. Don't worry about it though."

"Okay Gin, I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into."

"You know what Draco, I don't know what I'm getting myself into but I do know one thing and that's that I love you."

"I know Gin and you know I love you too. That's why I'm worried love."

"Well let's just not worry about it now. I'm sure I can make you worry a bit less."

"I can't break the spell. It just won't break."

"Well I guess I should be glad. It just means that he's ssstronger then I thought, he'll be a wonderful additive to my forcessss."

"Yes my lord."

"Although I wonder if she should take the mark then. If she took it then I would know she is not deceiving me. However if she doesssn't then she can be a ssspy for me."

"My lord if she can not be touched by another male besides my son then how will she be of any use to you as a spy?"

"I will sssee when they getsss here."

"Yes my lord."

Draco looked up as Ginny walked out of the bathroom. They were meeting Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, and Parvati at the Phoenix Tail, a club for both muggles and wizards. Ginny was dressed for clubbing and Draco loved it. She had on a solid black velvet top with the front cut in a rectangle and the shoulders of the shirt missing with a black mini skirt on. She had her fire red hair swaying behind her that came all the way down to her waist.

Draco stood leaning against the wall in utter shock. He had seen Ginny dressed for clubbing but he had never seen her like this. Not only did the shirt look awesome but it also had string laced all the way up the front that held it together.

"Like what you see Mr. Malfoy?"

"Yum. Can't wait to get to that club now."

"Well you're going to have to because we have a meeting in five minutes."

"Shit Gin how are we going to get there?"

"We can apparate Draco."

"Oh that's right but we'll have to apparate into my room because that's the only room that people can apparate into and that's only if you are on a certain list."

"Okay. I'm going to assume that I'm on the list?"

"But of course, now let's go."

Draco and Ginny walked down the steps and into the room that they had met Tom in so many times. Ginny walked in behind Draco and suddenly he stopped making Ginny run into his back.

"Draco why'd you stop?"

Draco didn't even have to say anything because Ginny stood on her tiptoes and looked over his shoulders. The entire room was filled with cloaked people and in the center stood Voldemort with Lucius Malfoy beside him. Voldemort walked forward towards Draco and Ginny.

"Step outside Draco."

Draco and Ginny both backed up into the enormous hallway of the Malfoy Manor.

"Draco you will be receiving the mark tonight and Virginia I'm still debating whether you will as well."

"Yes my lord."

"I will take it if you wish Tom"

"I may take you up on that. You, Virginia will be staying here while Draco goes in for the mark."

Draco turned to Ginny and kissed her forehead then turned and walked into the room. Tom looked at Ginny and walked into the room the door shutting behind him.

Draco removed his shirt and stood in the very middle of everyone around him. Lucius stood next to a pit with a stake end showing from inside it. Voldemort stood directly in front of the room and he grabbed the end of the stake. Draco saw the end and realized it was the dark mark, Voldemort branded people just like people branded cows.

"Will you take this mark to show that you are now with me in my fight to come back to my full power?" all Draco did was nod and then he felt the searing pain hit his right arm, but he didn't scream. Draco fell to his knees in front of Voldemort. Voldemort looked down at him and smirked.

"Now to decide whether Virginia will go threw this as well."
