Author's Note: I just saw this music video on CMT and I absolutely loved
this song already, but then I had to great idea to turn it into a D/G fic
and well here I am about to write it. If you don't know the song it's
performed and written by Alan Jackson. Oh and I am writing this with one
verse at the top of each new chapter. So it's like a songfic, but with
chapters.
Disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING! All I have is a Clay Aiken poster and a Brad Paisley CD!!! Don't sue because it ALL belongs to J.K. Rowling except the song and my writing.
*Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up

Ginny sat impatiently on the sofa, wishing that her husband was home to assure her that everything was alright. Rumors had been going around about the death eaters and their leader lately. Almost all were captured after the defeat of Voldemort in her sixth year but there were a few who had managed to slip through the Ministry's fingers, Lucius Malfoy being one of them. Ginny and Draco had had to acquire a secret keeper when they were married because of his father's threat, but many believed that Lucius had died soon after the final battle since he had not been active since then.
However, there were the few that believed that Lucius was buying himself time, trying to build up his own "army" of death eaters and any people unintelligent enough to join him, just as the last Dark Lord had. So, because of this minority of witches and wizards who believed that he may still be alive and kicking, they had to obtain a secret keeper.
At the young ages of nineteen and twenty they had to decide upon a secret keeper. Draco had wanted his brother-in-law, Ron, astonishingly enough, to be the one trusted as their keeper. Ginny didn't like this idea very much though. It wasn't that she didn't love her brother very much it was just that she wanted their keeper to be someone older and wiser such as her mother. And that is exactly who they ended up choosing. Molly Weasley had accepted readily to do this for them, as it was an honor to be chosen, and they and their secrets were safe in the hands of their mum.
But the person in question, Lucius, is not entirely stupid and for that we must give him some brownie points. He suspected from the very beginning that Draco would get a secret keeper and therefore knew it would be useless to try and find his son. As he is not entirely stupid and is entirely evil Lucius also had a plan. Sneaking into the Ministry was something he had done many times before and as a result this made it incredibly easy to do.
So each night for the past few years Lucius Malfoy had slipped into the Ministry and searched all the files, desks, and rubbish bins that he could find and eventually he stumbled upon something. A rather large something. On this particular night that he stumbled a certain young blonde haired man had been working late; it was about two hours after closing time at the Ministry making it around nine o'clock.

(this is NOT a memory, it's just beginning at 9:00 pm at the Ministry, prepare yourself for Draco's side)
Draco ran a tired hand through his unruly hair and went off in search of an owl. His wife would be worried sick already as he had forgotten to owl earlier and tell her that he was planning to work late on a case. He was trying to find and trace a death eater that went by the name of Bellatrix Lestrange. It was slow going and they were losing time as many believed that the rise of the death eaters would begin soon.
Thus Draco had decided to put in some overtime for the first time in a few months. Immersed in his work-- looking at pictures, reading notes, and tracing wand usage-- writing Ginny had somehow slipped his mind.
Now that he had been brought back into the real world in a quite painful way (he had fallen off his chair and landed on his side very hard; perhaps it was his fault for falling asleep though) the firs thought that crossed his mind was: 'Boy, I'm hungry.' The second thought was: 'I should go home and eat.' After a few more thoughts he realized the time and the fact that he hadn't owled Ginny once that day to let her know what was going on.
The thought following that realization was: 'I ought to go owl her.'
So he was in search of an owl, really he had just risen from his seat to GO hunt for one when he heard a sound coming from the hallway. Wondering who would be at the Ministry this late Draco stealthily removed his wand from his robe pocket and very quietly walked down the row of cubicles toward the door.
In his hurry to investigate this sound he had forgotten a very important thing. A disillusionment spell to make him invisible. Being an auror this was a very thick thing to do especially since the disillusionment charm is one of the first spells learned in auror training.
Entirely visible, Draco neared to door with utmost stealth but the problem of visibility would prove to be a problem. Wand raised and ready to spout off about ten different hexes and curses Draco slowly opened the door to see a man's figure leaning over the waste bin. The man appeared to be rummaging through it for something and as he lifted his head from the plastic container Draco immediately recognized the now incredibly short bleach-blonde hair.
Lucius Malfoy turned leisurely as he felt eyes watching him from behind. When fully turned he was greeted with a sight that he had never thought he would see again. His son was standing in front of him and two inches taller than him. The trademark Malfoy sneer had fixed itself on both men's faces as they took the sight of each other in.
Lucius's turned rapidly into a smirk, also known to inhabit the faces of Malfoy's for many years past, as he spoke with disdain dripped from his voice, "Well, well, well. If it isn't my no-good, traitorous, pond-scum, disowned offspring."
Draco's blood ran cold as he heard his biological father's voice seeping into his ears and imprinting itself on his brain. "Disowned is correct, Lucius. I disowned you and that is not to be turned around. Now tell me what the hell you're doing in the Ministry at nine o'clock at night." His lips formed into a sneer once more as he waited for Lucius's response.
