I was inspired to write this after reading Fiery Gryffindor's Draco/Ginny story, and she gave me permission to take the first little part from her fic and then write this alternative spin off to it.

Dark-Marked Love : Chapter 1

"Molly these two-are-er...well that is to say..."
"Engaged..." Draco muttered under his breath and Ginny raised her hand.
"Good lord Ginny-you and he?" She seemed to have a harder time then anyone trying to find her words.

What a crazy afternoon. We had all gone to the station just to pick up Ginny, and we ended up finding out she was engaged..to a Malfoy. Molly was so upset, I could see the tears welling up in her eyes as she tried to understand what had just happened. No one else knows, not even our children, about our past. I remember when we first started dating, and her parents had insisted that we all have dinner together to get to know each other a little better.

We were sitting in the common room studying our volume of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them when an owl tapped at the window, Molly immediately recognised it as the soot-coloured owl that belonged to her father, Brendan Prewitt. The owl gave her the letter, hooted at me, and then flew back out of the window. The letter was from both of her parents, and it said that they wanted her to bring me to meet them over the holiday. She looked a bit faint. She had not mentioned much about her parents before, except that they were also purebloods. Then she looked around the room to make sure it was cleared out, and even then she cast a silencing charm around us so no one could hear what she was going to say.

"Arthur, I've never told anyone this before, but..my parents, they're Death Eaters.", she cast her eyes away from my face and looked very apprehensive for my response. I opened my mouth to say something but then she interrupted me "I'm so sorry, Arthur! I know how your family loves Muggles and how they have always been for getting along with them. You probably think I'm horrible-", I stopped her right there with a light kiss. "I don't blame you for what your parents believe. I've known you for 7 years, and not once have you ever given me a reason to look down on you. Everything is going to be all-right."

I didn't really believe what I had said, and I could sense that she was still really uncomfortable. "I'm going to meet your parents, they probably will hate me but I'm going to have to face them eventually, right?" I said as I reached to cover her hand with mine. She looked away from me, "I guess you're right, they're just going to have to face the fact that we're in love and they can't stop us." I smiled at her and she smiled back, and the matter was settled.
