Ginny glanced wistfully at her engagement ring and smiled softly at the memory of it.

**Flashback**

Ginny was standing on the park in New York City, Manhattan. Draco was late, and she was going to put him in the 'doghouse' for this. They lived in the same house and room, but Ginny wanted to wait till her wedding day. It was the third time that he was late and he knew that promptness was very important to her.

She saw a white blonde streak rushing towards her, "Sorry love, I---''

"You're late for the third time Draco," Ginny snapped and turned her back towards him with her arms crossed.

He sighed but grinned, he came around her back and hugged by pulling her by the waist towards him. "I'm sorry but I was running to get something, I have something for you," he whispered in her ear. Hoping that she wouldn't still be mad at him.

She sighed in return and turned back towards him. She had a smile on her face that made his smirk turn into a smile itself. "So when do I get my present?"

She now noticed that his hand was behind of his back and that when he took it out it was two white tiger lilies, her favorite flower.

"Draco, what's the occasion?" Ginny said softly.

Draco grinned, "No occasion at all, can't I give presents to the woman I love?"

"You never give me things unless you've done something wrong or your going to do something wrong. So what is it? You're breaking up with me aren't you or you've cheated on me with that bimbo of a blonde that likes to blow you kisses when she thinks I'm not looking?" Ginny demanded.

Draco laughed; he wanted this moment to be perfect. This was the spot that they had come to for their first date since they moved here. But it seemed that fate was against them. It rained heavily.

Ginny made a move to leave for shelter, but Draco caught her waist. She frowned. "Draco were going to get sick!" Ginny yelled through the thunder.

"Stop! I wanted this to be perfect, I'm sorry," Draco shouted back. He was really mad, at the rain that is.

"Want what to be perfect? Draco were going to get flu!" Ginny made a move to leave but Draco held her firmly. He pulled her close to his chest. She looked at him, eyes wide. Then she realized this she slowly smiled.

"Marry me," Draco whispered into her ear as lightening split through the sky.

Ginny's smile faded and growled, "That's it? No knee on the ground? No wooing me to the next century to remember this? I'm disappointed."

Draco sighed and rolled hid eyes; he went on one knee. "Virginia, you are the light of my life and I wouldn't be here if not for you. You showed me things that I never thought existed. I never did believe that in love and friendship, it was all you. And no I didn't cheat on you, you have a fowl temper and I don't want to be on the receiving end of it. So there, am I done my 'wooing'? Because I want to kiss you."

Ginny laughed and swooped down giving him a passionate kiss, she looked at the diamond ring on her finger and knew that things were perfect as they were.

After that day, both Ginny and Draco were sick in bed. The words kept floating in her mind, 'Told you so'.

"I don wan choo to say it," Draco sneezed.

"Why not, chur fault," Ginny coughed.

He passed her a hot mug of tea; they were sharing the same bed for warmth. "Stile dun wan choo to say it," Draco sneezed again.

Ginny grumbled putting the mug on the tables stand next to her. She promptly fell asleep, but with a brilliant smile on her face. Draco smiled softly watching his beautiful fiancée; he pulled the covers over them with an arm stretched across her found her waist.

"Lub choo," Draco mumbled before falling asleep.

Ginny responded by snuggling deeper to him.

**End of Flashback**

It was interrupted when their maid Donna came into the room, Donna was with them since they had moved to America. She didn't have any family left and they had welcomed her into their little family. "Virginia dear, there is a group of people at the door. Lots of redheads and some others," She smiled.

Ginny's head shot up; red heads could only mean the Weasley's. "Thank you Donna, where are they?"

Draco wasn't here he was at work. She sighed. "They're in the main dining room," Donna responded.

Donna noticed the frown line that appeared she decided that she get Aidan when Ginny left the room. Ginny got up and made her way down to the room.

Molly, Arthur, the six boys, wives, and Harry sat in the main dining room sipping on tea. She entered the room taking the head seat. Everyone glanced and watched her as she gracefully sat down. Donna came in with a cup of tea for her too, and Ginny smiled and said thanks to her. There was a very uncomfortable silence in the room.

Ginny cleared her throat, "How may I help you all today?"

Everyone shifted and Harry coughed, "Well were here is because, well its like this."

He didn't finish; no one knew how to say it. Ginny sat in her spot looking bored and annoyed. It was like this for a long time till the kids came in. Percy instinctively went to rub his nose that looked a bit crooked now. Calandre went to her mama's lap and Ginny picked her up and cradled her daughter to her. The kids began to sit near Ginny, while Aidan stood beside of his mother looking and reminding them all that he was Aidan Malfoy son of Draco Malfoy.

His sneer quite apparent and leaned next to the chair where his mother sat. "Well welcome," Aidan said sarcastically.

Anyone could see that the Malfoy family was really close together, their children loyal to their mother and very protective of her, and she the same to them.

"Er. were here to speak to your mother," Fred said.

Randy sneered, "Course you can, while were here that is."

Molly and Arthur's eyebrow's shot up. Yes they both concluded that they were very possessive of their mother. They muttered something saying their children were like their father.

Everyone began to argue at that moment, Harry kept watching Ginny. She was so pretty.

"ENOUGH!" Ginny cried out.

Everyone ceased talking at once, they turned to look at Ginny.

"If you came here to argue with each other then I suggest you leave. Now if not, please finish talking or at least finish your sentence," Ginny commanded.

Everyone's head cocked to the side, Ginny had a really superior voice. Not even her kids had heard that voice in a while. Considering they haven't been in trouble for a while now, they had forgotten how much that voice had the power of command and control.

Bill sighed, "We want to apologize, we were wrong."

Everyone nodded. A 'pop' sounded in the main entrance. Later followed a sound, "Gin! Where are you?"

"In the main dining room," Ginny called back.

He entered the room and noticed the gathering, he went over and bent down and kissed his wife on the cheek. He straightened himself; "I have something for you, but later seeing that we have company."

Ginny laughed and nodded, Draco glanced around noticing that Aidan and Randy were ready to get up and take a beater's club to whack some heads obviously because Gin was sitting there uncomfortably. Eve and Mary stood up deciding that it was best for the grown-ups to talk. Eve grabbed both Aidan and Randy by the arm and dragged them out. Mary quietly went over and picked up Calandre. They left the room with Ginny frowning at them. Draco squeezed her hand in reassurance.

"So Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, what can we do to help you?" Draco asked politely.

It was odd to find that Draco had changed, he seemed. softer. Ginny had witness these changes, to her he grew up and learned to understand the world around him. He learned the hardships of working for money and for their relationship and the happiness of living simple life and having and learning from his children.

Molly answered, "We wanted Ginny to come home, or I mean to come to the Harry's birthday party on July 31st. Just for some close people you understand, and we were hoping that the entire family could come."

Ginny was about to say no, but Draco started to talk before her, "Of course we are delighted that you invited us and yes we will come."

Ginny turned her head sharply to Draco about to argue but the look in her eye made her sigh and nod along.

"Ginny we are sorry, we are a failure to you as your family," Ron spoke. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ginny sat there breathing deeply trying to understand the situation.

"If that is all Donna will escort you to a floo network or outside now please excuse us," Draco replied.

He swept out of the room with Ginny in his arm, she leaned into him and arm came protectively and possessively around her waist.

They all left sighing heavily and just watched the retreating figures.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Why did you agree dad? I mean look your just going to make us all uncomfortable," Aidan demanded.

They were all arguing, it seemed that what the Weasley did too their mother was just unforgivable in their eyes. Draco glanced at Ginny and saw that his wife was looking out of the window in thought. The girls were the ones being quiet but their eyes told Draco that they disapproved of his decision.

"Enough," Draco commanded.

Silence followed this command; no one dared to challenge his authority.

"I want to talk to your mother, what ever decision we make is for us. If you do not want to go then that is fine," Draco sternly said.

They all sighed and watched their mother; they suppose whatever decision she made was fine with them, even if they had to be dragged into it.

Draco turned to Ginny as the door banged shut, "I'm sorry if you're mad at me."

Ginny sighed, "I'm not mad and I know your reasons, I know I have to forgive them sooner or later. But my heart just aches, old wounds are still healing and if they get cut again I don't think I could stand up again."

She leaned into Draco as he bent down to kiss her soft silky head; "If you can't stand up straight again I can be your crutch Gin. I won't let you fall, and sometimes forgiveness sets the heart free. I still have my present to give to you."

Ginny looked at him and smiled softly, "I know, we'll go and if the kids don't want to that's okay. So what'd you get me?"

He went into his pocket, "I saw this when I was out for lunch with Blaise and I saw this. I figured I haven't spoiled you in a while so here it is."

It was a glass star with a heart shaped diamond in the center, it was beautiful it was a necklace. It was quite tiny but very beautiful.

"I feel like a spoiled brat," Ginny chuckled.

"You know you deserve it," Draco replied.

He lifted her up and they both went to bed remembering the days when they dated and laughed.
