Chapter 29- A Year Later
Ginny and Draco were both out of school now and living in a huge House of their own. Draco had gone into business with his father and Ginny decided to stay home with the children. Although Draco had told her he would hire a nurse to take care of the twins Ginny didn't feel right about letting anyone else raise her babies. It was something she always dreamed of doing on her own.
Ginny walked into the Babies room. She couldn't believe it had been over a year since they were born. They both had grown into cute little toddlers. They were now almost two. Caleb, the older of the two twin Malfoy's had red hair and acted just the way Draco's mother had described Draco at that age. He was always into everything and had developed quite the attitude for a one year old. Cole on the other hand Who was the spitting image of his father acted more like Ginny's brother Ron had when he was a child. He had the Weasley temper and could throw a damn good tantrum when he didn't get his way.
"Alright boys. Lets go down stairs. Daddy should be home soon and I hear he has a surprise for you." Ginny said happily as she took the hands of her boys and leaded them carefully down the steps towards the family room.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Both the boys yelled as they ran into the room and saw their father sitting on the couch.
Draco immediately got up and took of his boys into his arms for a hug. "I got you boys something." Draco smirked then put them down and went over to get a bag beside the fireplace.
"Yay!" Cole screamed as he grabbed Caleb's hand dragged him along behind their dad.
"What that?" Caleb asked when he saw his dad reach into the bag.
"This is for you Caleb." Draco said as he pulled out a miniature broom that was just their size to ride. "And this is for you Cole." He said and pulled out a matching broom and handed it to him.
"A Boom! A Boom!" Cole yelled with excitement as he took it from his father.
"Draco Dear, may I have a word with you?" Ginny interrupted and pulled Draco over to the other side of the room.
Draco followed her over and waited for her to speak.
"Do you think they are old enough for brooms Draco? Don't you think they might get hurt?" Ginny asked.
"I got my first broom when I was one." Draco replied. "And they won't get hurt. The brooms now are charmed so they cannot fall off of it. And besides it doesn't go that fast. Its just so they can learn."
"Alright. But if they get hurt, your going to get hurt." Ginny said sternly.
"Alright. We will be careful." Draco said and kissed his wife on the cheek then went back over to the boys. Ginny followed close behind him and sat down on the sofa to watch them.
"Show Daddy." Cole said to his father.
"Well all you have to do is get on it like your going to ride it." Draco said to the boys. Who then mounted their brooms. They knew how to do this from watching Draco play Quidditch in their backyard with their uncle Blaize.
"Good, now push off." Draco said and watched as the boys pushed off and came off the ground a little bit.
"Wow!" They cheered as they hovered in the air for a couple minutes with Draco standing between the two making sure they are comfortable.
Caleb then started moving forward on his broom. He then turned his head to his mommy. "Mummy look!" He said excitedly.
"Good job, sweetie." Ginny cheered then looked over at Cole who was now following his brother. "Me do it too, Mummy!"
"I see, honey. Good job!" She smiled at him and looked over at Draco who was looking at his sons proudly. "Training them to be pro's already, Draco?" She teased.
"Funny, Gin." He looked over at her smiling. "Alright, boys. I think that is enough for today. Maybe we could try this again tomorrow." Draco said as he helped them down off their brooms. "But I don't want you to use these unless your mother or I are around. Understand?"
"Yes, Daddy." Both of them said unhappily then ran out of the room to go play upstairs with their toys.
Ginny watched the boys run from the room then looked over at Draco who was heading over to her. "I don't believe I got a kiss from you since I got home, my love."
Ginny smiled then stood up and put her arms around his neck. Draco then moved his head closer to hers and began kissing her passionately.
"ewwww!" Came the voices of their two sons from the door way. When they heard then Ginny and Draco looked over at them smiling.
"May I help you?" Ginny asked laughing.
"Mummy, Harry figgure?" Caleb asked.
"Last I saw your Harry Potter Quidditch figures they were in the dining room." Ginny answered then saw both boys run out of the room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ginny was in the kitchen getting a drink when she heard the door bell ring. Shortly followed by that she heard Draco yell. "I'll get it!"
A couple minutes later she walked into the family room and saw Harry sitting with Draco. "Hello Harry." Ginny said as she walked over to him to give him a hug. "How have you been? I haven't seen you around in a while."
"Hi Gin. I've been good." He said smiling. "But I've got some news for you two."
"Yes we do." Came the voice of Harry's girlfriend Laura. She was just now entering the room. "Sorry I had to freshen up."
"How are you, Laura?" Ginny asked as she hugged her.
"I'm doing great." Laura said happily.
Ginny looked at her suspiciously. "Alright, spill it."
Harry then stood up and put his arm around Laura. "We got married last weekend."
Draco immediately stood up and hugged them both. Ginny followed. "Congratulations! Did you elope?"
Laura nodded her head. "Yes. It was so exciting!" She squealed happily.
"I can imagine." Ginny smiled.
"Well we only stopped by to share the good news. Tell the boys we said hello." Harry said grinning. "We've uh got things to do."
Draco nodded his head understanding perfectly. "Alright mate, I'll talk to you later."
"Yea, bye guys and congratulations." Ginny said then her and Draco showed them to the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early in the morning next week Ginny was awoken by Draco to hurry up and get dressed. They had a couple visitors downstairs and it was important. When she finally got downstairs she was met by Mr. Malfoy, Lord Voldemort, Blaize Zambini, Ryan Riddle and The Potters.
"To what do I owe this?" Ginny said politely as she entered the room and greeted everyone one at a time.
"Ginny, dear. It is time." Her father spoke and lead her away from the group of people to speak with her alone. "War is upon us. It is time to put the boys into hiding. We are planning our strike for next week."
Ginny was shocked. She knew the war was coming, but she had no idea it would be this soon. "But where will they be going? Is everything ready and safe for them?" Ginny asked worried.
"Everything is ready and everything is safe. I think we should take them their today. I want them out of the area immediately. I don't want them hurt or to be around while we discuss things. They are still to young." Lord Voldemort said to Ginny.
"Alright." She replied them looked over to Draco. "Go get the boys and tell them to grab whatever they can pack into their bags. They are clothes already so they only need to bring toys or whatever else they want." Draco nodded then went to get his sons.
"Father when will we be able to see them again?" Ginny asked.
"Well I'm setting up weekly visits, but they must be secretive. We cannot risk anyone finding out where they are. Only the people in this room know where they are." Lord Voldemort stated. "I have ordered for Narcissa to take them to the place and you and Draco and go over later tonight to see them."
Ginny nodded and walked over to where the rest of the people and sat down. Ten minutes later the boys ran into the room holding their bags. "Mummy, daddy says we going. Is that tue?" Cole said quietly to his mum.
"Yes boys and you be good with Grandmother. Don't give her any trouble or you will be in big trouble tonight." Ginny said then gave her babies hugs. Draco did the same and took them over to his father. "Alright father. They are ready."
Lucius nodded and took the boys over to the fireplace and Flooed out of the house with the boys yelling "Bye Bye!" as they disappeared into the flames.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later everyone was in the dungeons of Malfoy Mannor. Voldemort had called a Death Eater meeting to announce the starting of the Wizarding World War.
"Good afternoon, my death eaters." Voldemort said proudly. "I have an announcement to make." He paused for a moment and looked around the room. Beside him were his son Ryan, Ginny, Draco, Harry Potter and Lucius Malfoy. "The Wizarding World War will be beginning tomorrow night. I am planning an attack on Diagon Alley at 8:00 pm."
The crowd cheered until Lord Voldemort raised his hand to silence them. "You all should have been told by now what group you belong to. So now let me introduce you to your leaders. I have decided to group you by animals names So when I call out what animal you were given go to your leader I assign you."
The crowd went silent and waited to hear who their war leader would be. "Alright. Snakes will be with Ryan. Tigers will be with Ginny and Draco. Panthers will be with Harry Potter. Sharks will be with Lucius Malfoy." Lord Voldemort announced. "Please go with your leaders. They have all been instructed to tell you what your main purpose in the war is and what you will be doing."
"Tigers, follow me." Draco said loudly and made his way through the tunnels of the dungeons to a room specifically assigned to them. Once everyone was inside Draco spoke again. "This is where all our meeting will be until farther notice. Everyone will be notified of meeting in advanced. This room is only for Tiger meetings. All Lord Voldemort meetings are in the room we all began at. Do you understand?" Draco asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Alright everyone take down your hoods so we can see who is in our group. What goes on in this room go no farther to anyone. Is that understood. So whoever you see or whatever you hear is not to be told to anyone." Draco said sternly.
Everyone let down their hoods and Ginny and Draco looked around to see if they knew anyone. Ginny's nodded to her brothers when saw Fred and George in her group. They grinned back at her. For some reason Ginny was not surprised that they had become Death Eaters. She always through of all of her family that they would get pulled to the Dark Side.
"I have a couple things to tell you then you all may leave. 1st we are the assassin group. We are the group that goes after major targets. Most of the time four or five people will be assigned to one assassination. Although we will be fighting in the war at times. We will mostly be doing the kidnapping and assassinating." Everyone in the group grinned and smirked. "Tomorrow night at 8 everyone will apparate to Diagon Alley. The War will be started by my father Lucius Malfoy. He will cast the Dark Mark into the sky. From their you do what you wish to anyone you want who is around. We want to make a statement. So do some damage people." Everyone nodded and waited for him to continue. "Well that is all for now. The next meeting is three weeks from tonight in this very room. Good night ladies and gentlemen." And with that everyone apparated out of the room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ginny and Draco had decided not to go see the twins because it was far to late by now and they were both probably sleeping. So they decided to wait until next week to visit them. They wanted to get the boys used to not having them around all day.
So Ginny and Draco went home and went to bed. For tomorrow night was the start of something big. They both needed as much rest as they could get because they weren't sure when they would get a full night of sleep again.
