Chapter 20 – Something dangerous this way comes...
Surprisingly, Angel knew the Password when they arrived in front of the Gargoyles, and they climbed the stairs to the Headmaster's Office.
"Hello, please come in and have a sit..." Dumbledore said, pointing at two chairs in front of his desk. "I believe we have a few more secrets to unveil..."
"More secrets... Oh Merlin, I'm starting to hate this secrets!" Ginny complained, sitting with Angel on her lap.
"I see that the two of you solved the riddle..." he said with a knowing smile. "It's time for explanations, once again!"
"Please, tell us what's going to happen this time so we don't have to keep on coming here every time something happens!" Draco complained coldly.
"The fairies married both of you to guarantee your security!" Dumbledore said, sounding extremely serious. "That means that something bad must be coming your way!"
"Great... Just what I expected!" Ginny mumbled, a little scared.
"How do the Fairies know that we are in danger? Are they future tellers?" Draco joked.
"Don't mock your people, Draco!" Angel hissed angrily. "The Fairies are wonderful creatures, and you should know that by now!"
"Why are you so upset, Angel?" Draco asked, surprised. "It's not as if you know them personally!"
"I do know them personally, Draco... I'm their messager! I tell Dumbledore everything he needs to know, and I'm the one to talk with the Fairies when he needs anything from them!" Angel explained, jumping on top of Dumbledore's desk.
"But... Why you?" Ginny asked, smiling at her little friend.
"The Fairies control the creatures of the Light, like Unicorns, Phoenixes, Pulgas, Kneazels..." Angel explained. "The Fairies gave me orders to protect Ginny, as soon as they found out I was yours, and to make sure that I helped you to find someone good for you to love..."
"So, that's why you always ran to Draco's arms?" Ginny asked, surprised.
"He has a beautiful aura, Gin! He looked perfect for you, so I've done my best to bring both of you together!" Angel said. "The worst was that you both were always fighting! I thought I was going to fail my mission! Are you mad at me?"
"No, Angel, I'm not... I'm just surprised, that's all!" Ginny ran a hand over Angel's furry back.
"Well, Angel told me that the Fairies would marry you, and I can assure you both that there's no stronger bond than the Fairies Wedding!" Dumbledore smiled gently at the couple. "From this moment on, you'll start learning about everything you need to know, while you are sleeping... That way you won't have to stop your studying!"
"How can we learn while we sleep? And what are we going to learn?" Draco asked, confused.
"Dreams are a wonderful way to visit people, did you know? The Fairies will teach you their language, their past, the way they live, what they want to improve and what is going on with their people right now..." Dumbledore explained. "Soon, you'll have to face a great danger, and if you destroy your enemy, you'll be able to speak for the Fairies and make them a part of the Wizarding World once again!"
"So many responsibilities..." Ginny sighed, running a hand through her hair, trying to absorb all the new information. "So, this marriage is considered real to the Ministry of Magic?"
"Yes, Virginia, it is..." Dumbledore smiled. "After Christmas holidays you'll both have a new room. Until then, you can share Draco's room or sleep separated. It's your choice to make..."
"Gin, won't you two get married in front of your families?" Angel asked, excitedly. "We could make the party here, at Hogwarts!"
"We still haven't received a letter from Draco's father, and I'm sure that when he finds out about the real situation, he won't be very pleased... A marriage with both our families would sure be a disaster!" Ginny said, sadly, holding Draco's hand in hers.
"Oh... That's a pity... I really wanted to see you getting married in a beautiful dress and with a lot of people smiling at you..." Angel whined.
"Oh Angel, sometimes you're so girlish! I think you've been spending way too much time with Lavender and Parvati!" Ginny laughed. "Well, we're going to bed... Are you coming, Angel?"
"No, I'll stay with Professor Snape..."
"What's going on between you and Snape? Sometimes I think there's something wrong between the both of you!" Draco asked, suspicious.
"Well, that's a secret you'll find out later!" Angel laughed, jumping off the desk and running out of Dumbledore's office.
"This is so weird!" Draco mumbled.
"Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy... And please, I want both of you to be extra careful and to remain together! Your unity is your strength..." Dumbledore warned, as they left his office.
"Mrs. Malfoy... I like the way it sounds!" Draco whispered in her ear, as they walked to his room.
"Oh, you do, do you..." she laughed, kissing his nose. "Well, I don't know if I want to be Mrs. Malfoy! I like being a Weasley!"
"You don't like the fact that we're married?" he pouted, sounding sad.
"Draco Malfoy, the all-mighty is pouting?! Unbelievable! I wish Colin was here to photograph this unique moment!" Ginny laughed, turning around to stay in front of him, face to face.
"Well, can you answer my question?" he asked, coldly.
"Hey, don't go all Slytherin over me!" she complained, starting to walk again, not waiting for him. "Yes, I love the fact that we're married, but I'm not sure if I want to be called Mrs. Malfoy... It sounds as if I'm an old woman, when I'm just a 16 years old!"
"But you do want to be married with me, don't you?" he asked, once again.
"YES! I LOVE DRACO MALFOY AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN TO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK!" she yelled in the middle of the hallway, for everyone in the school to hear. "Now, can we go have fun to our bedroom, my dear husband?"
"Sure we can, darling..." he said, mockingly. "If I had known that my wife was the kind of crazy, attention seeker, lunatic woman, I would have never married her!"
"As if you had a choice!" she laughed, before she kissed him passionately.
Almost running, they returned to Draco's room, where Ginny's trunk was already placed against his bed, next to Draco's trunk. That's how they were now...
Equals, side by side, fighting for the same side and loving each other until the ends of time.
Or so they hoped...
