"Ginny, dear, what are you doing hovering around the fireplace at this time of the night?"
"Just talking with Hermione. Er, Nicki made it into Slytherin, along with Talyn." Ginny said to her husband as she hurried away from the fireplace, her eyes glinting with tears.
"Slytherin?!" Harry whispered dangerously as he narrowed his eyes darkly. Ginny nodded quickly and smiled, picking up a wizarding set of barbie dolls. "Dammit, why do you always have the Malfoy girls over here? Don't they ever have a mother?!"
"Harry..." Ginny whispered as she stowed away the barbies, her heart quietly breaking as tears slowly coursed down her face.
"Forget it, I have a Quidditch match coming up tomorrow, we'll talk after that." Harry sighed as he headed upstairs to their bedroom and immediately went to sleep. Ginny Potter sighed, standing in the middle of a lovely living room and weeping her heart out. She wished Harry could have been more like Draco...
Taliesin Potter studied his plate of food at the Slytherin table, concentrating on tuning out the conversations buzzing around him, they were generally about him, remarking upon how a Potter ended up into Slytherin. He looked up, studying his big brother, Jamie, and his stupid friends: Frank Longbottom and Will Weasley. They had been saying something to a pretty third-year girl with long curly hair and black eyes who stood up and slapped him right in the middle of the Great Hall. Taliesin gaped as Jamie turned a horrible shade of beet red, and scowled at the girl, whispering something and pointing at the Slytherin table, where Niccolo was crouched to jump over the table at a moment's notice. Suddenly, the Prefect of Slytherin, Saxen Snape, ran and tackled Jamie Potter, the two going down into a drag-down and knock-out fight in the middle of the Great Hall, with the black-haired girl and Niccolo jumping into the fight along with Will and Frank, Diana Malfoy hovering in the background, whispering to Taliesin that she did hope that Niccolo wouldn't get hurt, she adored Nicki.
"STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS THIS INSTANT!" a voice boomed out, the fight slowly dying down at the arrival of Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and his wife, Filch, and Dumbledore. The adults all took points off of the students, and yelled at everyone to go to class, while Jamie, Nicki, Saxen, and the black-haired girl all headed up to Dumbledore's office. Talyn couldn't help but wonder what had spurred the fight as he headed down to Potions with the Potions-Mistress Snape and Diana Malfoy, Diana asking their professor about the fight, apparently the black-haired girl was her daughter, a third-year Gryffindor named Remea. Remea, what a lovely name...
"What in heaven's name got into you, Potter!?" Severus spat at the insolent spawn of his most loathed former student, Harry Potter. The boy glared up at Severus, his eyes cold and distant.
"Your own spawn, Professor."
"How dare you! Fifty points from Gryff--"
"DADDY!" Remea hissed, grabbing at her father's sleeve. Severus turned to face his daughter, slightly surprised at this turn of events. "Could... could we talk in private.. please?"
"Of course, Remea. Would you excuse us, Headmaster?" Severus said, ashen-pale, hoping it hadn't had anything to do with fornication, if it did, he would slip some sort of long-lasting poison in the boy's drink and watch him slowly die a long, horrible death, worse than Crucio...
"DADDY!"
"mm? Yes, Remea?" Severus said, snapping himself out of his fantasy. "What was it you wanted to discuss?"
"Is it true that Draco and Ginny are having an affair and you are their secret-keeper?"
"I need to talk to you, Harry. Your son was in a fight at school with several Gryffindor and Slytherin students." Hermione said with her arms crossed across her chest, her eyes burning with a fire that one usually saw when she had been lecturing about SPEW back in her fifth year.
"It's normal, remember what we did to Malfoy and his goons back in school? what did you expect, mione?"
"Harry, I expected better behavior from your own children. At least Taleisin had sense to hang back with Diana. Those two students have better sense than their parents had at Hogwarts."
"Mione, don't you see? Snape's destroying everything."
"Don't, Harry. Don't bring this up again. I told you that Severus and I married because we loved each other. We still do, or else we would not have Niccolo, Remea, and Saxen. Please, do not do this."
"Oh, and Snape can, the git?" Harry replied coldly, his eyes as cold as his own son's. Hermione took in a shaky breath, reminding herself of the days she had enjoyed with Harry, exploring the corridors of Hogwarts along with Ron. At least Ron had the decency to stay away from Severus, and still treat the children civilly, actually giving them gifts and such. Hermione turned away from Harry, shaking her head in disappointment.
"Ginny..." Draco said as he Apparated at the Potter's household, startling Ginny, who jumped nearly a foot in the air. "we have a problem."
"I heard from Harry. He and Hermione are at Hogwarts talking about it right now. You can't be here, Draco."
"We need to talk."
"Tonight at the Snape's."
"Seven o' clock?"
"Four. I need to visit Taliesin and Jamie, standard disclipinary procedures, as you probably are aware from our days at Hogwarts."
"See you then, Severus's office at four o' clock." Draco said lightly as he kissed Ginny on the cheek and Disapparated. Ginny sighed, and brought her hand up to her cheek, savoring Draco's warm lips on her cheek.
