It's All Family

Draco made his way up the path to the front door of The Burrow, holding Ginny's hand tightly. Why were they going to The Burrow? To celebrate Rosie's 6th birthday.

When Ginny first approached Draco about going to the party with her, he was apprehensive. It had only been two months and meeting the entire family was a big thing. But Ginny begged him to go with her and when he still was unsure, she gave him "the look," as Draco liked to call it.

"That look" was something Ginny did that made Draco give in right away. The way she made her eyes soften and tear up and the way her bottom lip stuck out and trembled the tiniest bit was the hardest thing anyone, especially Draco, could say no too. Ginny liked to call it her secret weapon.

So here they were at the front door of The Burrow and Draco couldn't have been more nervous in his life. Who would blame him? He was about to enter the house of people who hate his family. Well, who hate his father and everything he stood for. Of course, Draco wasn't like that but the Weasley's attitude towards him was probably the same as it was from school.

Ginny could tell Draco was nervous. He was tense and his hands were extremely sweaty. "Don't worry," she whispered before kissing his cheek reassuringly.

Draco gave her a small smile back. He wasn't reassured the least bit.

Ginny opened the door and stepped in with Draco behind her. Right away the aroma of cooking food and baked goods filled their nostrils. The sound of kids screaming and laughing and adults talking filled their ears right away.

Draco followed Ginny inside the house still feeling a bit uncomfortable. He looked around to see all the kids running around the house and the adults sitting in the living room having conversations. Ginny speaking brought his attention back to her.

"Mum!" Ginny cried. She let go of Draco's hands and flung her arms around her mother.

Mrs. Weasley had not changed one bit. She was still a small, plump, loving woman.

"Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley cried. She too in turn wrapped her arms around her only daughter. "Oh dear it's nice to see you," she pushed Ginny anyway from her and looked her up and down.

"I know Mum," Ginny said. "I've just been so busy that I haven't had any time."

"That's okay dear," Mrs. Weasley smiled warmly at Ginny. She pulled her into another warm hug.

"Oh!" Ginny remembered. "Mum I want you to meet my boyfriend." She took Draco by the hand and pulled him forward a few steps. "Mum this is Draco Malfoy…Draco this is my mum."

Draco smiled down at Mrs. Weasley. "Hello Mrs. Weasley, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said politely. He held out his hand for her to shake.

Mrs. Weasley looked taken back for a few seconds, but recovered quickly. She shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you too," she pulled her hand back.

"Mum, Draco runs the magazine I work at, Magic Mag," Ginny told her motherly.

Mrs. Weasley was so proud of Ginny when Ginny told her she got a job at a major magazine, so Ginny was hoping it would ease the tension a little bit.

It worked. Mrs. Weasley gave Draco a genuine smile. "Oh well that's wonderful! I like reading some of the articles in the magazine. Even though most of it is for a teenager," she told Draco.

Draco smiled at her again. "Well I'm glad the magazine appeals to all women."

Again Mrs. Weasley smiled at Draco. "Well I have to get back to cooking. I'll let the two of you say hello to the rest of the family!" With that Mrs. Weasley disappeared into the kitchen.

"Well that went well," Draco said, relieved.

"Let's just hope the rest of the introductions go the same," Ginny said back. Now she was feeling nervous. They had to go through her father, Percy, Fred, George, and Ron. Bill and Charlie wouldn't give Draco a hard time.

"Ginny!" someone said from behind them.

Ginny turned around to see who called her name. "Charlie!" she yelled. She ran over to her older and favorite brother and jumped into his arms. "Merlin, it's been forever!"

It had been almost a year since Ginny saw Charlie. Every time he had a vacation from his job in Romania with dragons, Ginny wasn't home. Sure they owled each other often, but nothing was like seeing and talking to each other face to face.

"Yes it has," Charlie said, placing Ginny back on the ground. He dropped a kiss on her cheek.

Ginny stepped out of his grasp and took a good look at him. He still looked the same. The same tall strong stature and blue eyes the color of a perfect summer's sky. His hair was a little out of sort but it was the way Ginny remembered it. His arms were still marked with burns and scars for his many years working with dragons.

"So who's this?" Charlie asked, pointing to Draco.

Ginny was taken out of her tiny remembrance and looked at Draco behind her. She smiled and reached over for Draco's hand again. "Charlie, this is my boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. Draco, this is my brother Charlie…he's the one-"

"Who works with dragons" Draco finished. "It's nice to meet you," he shook Charlie's hand.

"Well it's nice to meet you too," Charlie said. "Gin's told me a lot about you. You own the magazine she works for, right?" he asked.

Draco nodded. "That's me."

Charlie nodded his head in what appeared to be approval. "Well Gin, he seems good enough!"

"Charlie!" Ginny cried. A nice red color rose to her cheeks.

"Honestly Gin, haven't I told you? Red isn't a good color for you!" Charlie joked.

Ginny glared at Charlie playfully while Draco chuckled next to her. Charlie laughed and kissed the top of Ginny's head.

"I'll talk with you some more later. I have to find Malcolm…I'm playing hid and go seek with him and I should have found him 5 minutes ago," he told her then left heading for the stairs.

Ginny rolled her eyes after him.

"I like him," Draco said. "Is he married?"

"Charlie?" Ginny asked, looking confused. She laughed. "Oh no, Charlie will be a bachelor forever," she told Draco. "Come on, I still need to say hello to the rest of my family!" She took his hand and led him into the living room. "Dad!" she called to the man leaning against the fireplace talking to another man with long hair and an earring.

"Ginny," Mr. Weasley said. He also hadn't changed. Except for maybe a few more gray hairs. He was a grandfather! "How are you sweetheart?" He asked Ginny, giving her a hug.

"I'm good," Ginny said. She let go of her father and turned towards the other man. "You know Bill, maybe you should start taking Mum's advice and cut your hair. I think I'm seeing some grays on the end here!" she said smiling.

Bill rolled his eyes. "Very funny Gin," he said, taking his sister into a hug.

Ginny hugged Bill back. "I couldn't let you go without a teasing," she stepped out of the hug, smiling. Again she grabbed Draco's hand. "Daddy, Bill…this is my boyfriend, Draco," she told them. "Draco I think you know my father and this is my brother Bill"

Draco shook Bill's hand. "It's nice to meet you," he said. "Mr. Weasley…always a pleasure," he said now shaking Arthur Weasley's hand.

"Draco owns the magazine I work at," Ginny told her father and brother happily.

"Oh! Karli and Fleur read it all the time," Bill said. "Don't know why Fleur reads it…I always tell her the magazine is for Karli," he chuckled.

Draco chuckled as well. "Well Mrs. Weasley told us she reads some of the articles too."

"And then she shows me some of the clothes that my daughter picks out and models" Mr. Weasley said, looking at Ginny with a raised eyebrow.

"Dad, I don't make the clothes, I just find the latest styles!" Ginny told Mr. Weasley.

Mr. Weasley chuckled. "I know… well I'm gonna go see if your mother needs any help," he said then left for the kitchen.

"And I'm gonna make sure Charlie found Malcolm," Bill said. He made his way to the stairs.

Ginny turned to Draco. "Bill is married to Fleur Delacour and they have 2 kids. Karli's twelve and a Ravenclaw in Hogwarts, and Malcolm's six," she told him.

"A Ravenclaw?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. He thought all the Weasley's were sorted into Gryffindor.

"Yeah…she's the smartest thing I know. Studies worse then Hermione did when she was in school," Ginny said giggling.

"Is that possible?" Draco asked skeptically.

Ginny giggled. "Apparently."

"Ginny you made it!"

Ginny looked to her left to find Hermione walking up to her with baby John in her hands. "Of course I did!" she cried. She hugged the older girl as best she could with her holding a baby. "I wouldn't miss my niece's birthday…hi Ron," she said over Hermione's shoulder.

"Hey Gin," Ron said. He gave her a hug and looked over her head at Draco. He raised his eyebrow at him.

Ginny walked back over to Draco. "Hermione, Ron, this is my boyfriend," she said. "And I'm pretty sure that's all the introduction needed here."

Hermione and Ron kind of just stared at the two for a few seconds. Hermione was the first to snap out of it. "Well Malfoy, it's nice to see you again," she said holding out her hand.

Draco took her hand and shook it. "Nice to see you too," He held his hand out to Ron. "Weasley."

Ron stared at Draco's hand. Finally he took it. "Malfoy."

"So where's my niece?" Ginny asked breaking the tension.

"Oh, she's somewhere with one of the kids," Hermione said waving her hand through the air.

"Well I'll just take this one off your hands," Ginny said reaching over and taking baby John. "Draco, this is John…he's only 5 months, yes you are," she said talking baby talk. She tickled the baby in the stomach and John gave a giggle.

"Five months…wow Granger, you don't look like you were ever pregnant," Draco said. He wasn't trying to be nice. She didn't look like she ever gave birth.

"That's because Hermione has the perfect body," Ginny said obviously.

Hermione was blushing like crazy. "Well I tried," she said timidly.

"Well I got bad news for you" Draco said looking at the baby. "He's gonna look exactly like your husband" he joked.

Ginny and Hermione both started laughing. Ron's face turned red and he glared at Draco who was trying without success not to laugh.

"I'm just kidding man," Draco said chuckling.

Ron rolled his eyes as Hermione hugged his arm still laughing. Just then Rosie ran through them screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Rosie!" Ron called after her. "Excuse Me," he said, then followed Rosie.

"I better go make sure she doesn't walk all over him," Hermione said chuckling, and then followed Ron.

"That girl may look like Hermione, but she is all Ron," Ginny said, watching them run outside.

"Aunt Ginny!" two identical girls called as they walked over.

"Jaclyn, Stacy," Ginny said. "How are you girls?" she leaned down a little so each girl could kiss her cheek.

"Good" they said at the same time.

"Draco," Ginny said turning towards him a little. "These are Fred and Angelina Johnson's girls. Jaclyn," she pointed to the girl on the left. "And Stacy," she pointed to the girl on the right.

"That's who you remind me of," Draco said. He remembered Angelina from when he played Quidditch against Gryffindor in Hogwarts. Jaclyn and Stacy looked a lot like her.

"Jackie, Stac…this is my boyfriend, Draco Malfoy," Ginny told her nieces.

"You own Magic Mag…that's where Aunt Gin works," Jaclyn said.

"Yeah…do you read it?" Draco asked.

"Read it?" Stacy exclaimed. "We live by it!"

Draco laughed. "Well I'm glad you like it."

"Yeah he's glad you like it" a boy mimicked in a girl voice.

"Yeah…he's absolutely head over heels," his twin said.

Then at the same time the two boys pulled the back of the girls shirt and poured purple paint down it. Jaclyn and Stacy screamed and the two boys ran away. The girls turned and followed them yelling about how they would get them back.

Ginny couldn't hold in her laughter as she watched the twin girls run after the twin boys. Next to her Draco was laughing.

"Who and what was that?" Draco asked.

"Those were George's boys. Ray and Skylar. He married Katie Bell…the other Gryffindor chaser," Ginny told him as she rocked baby John.

"So Fred got the girl twins and George got the boy twins," Draco thought out load.

"Yup" Ginny said. "And all four of them are just like Fred and George. They are always playing pranks on each other."

Draco chuckled. "How old are they?"

"They're all almost 10," Ginny said. "And there is no doubt that they're going to be in Slytherin when they go to Hogwarts. They have one evil mind," she laughed.

"My kind of people" Draco said laughing.

"Yes…I know," Ginny said rolling her eyes.

----------

It was a few hours later and Draco had met everyone. He met Fleur, Bill's wife, and Malcolm, their son.

He also was introduced to Fred, his wife Angelina, George and his wife Katie. An introduction wasn't really needed as they all knew each other, but Ginny wanted to show him off as her new boyfriend. They talked about Quidditch and remised on their school games.

Ginny also showed Draco off to Percy and his wife, Penelope Clearwater. Their daughter Tamara was in her first year at Hogwarts and in Ravenclaw.

Draco was also introduced to Hermione's parents, who were here for their granddaughter's birthday. His father would be turning in his grave knowing that he was associating with muggles. Not like his father would have already disowned him after finding out that Draco was dating a Weasley.

Dinner was a loud entertaining experience. Over 20 people shoved into two tables. One for the children and another for the adults. Then right before they started eating, Harry showed up late and they had to move around again to make more room for him.

Now it was an hour after dinner and everyone was sitting around talk and digesting. Molly Weasley could cook one hell of a filling meal.

Ginny was sitting on the floor with Rosie in her lap. They were looking through a book Rosie got for her birthday. Ginny would read something and Rosie would give a 'ah' or an 'o'.

Draco was watching her from the couch. Hermione sat down next to him. She followed his line of vision and smiled when she saw what he was looking at.

"Rosie loves her," Hermione said.

"What?" Draco asked. He looked at Hermione and found her smiling at him. "Oh…yeah…she's great."

Hermione chuckled. "I saw the couples issue. You two looked great" she said. There was a glint in her eyes and a huge smile on her lips.

Draco raised his eyebrow. "You read the magazine too?" he asked. He never saw Hermione Granger as someone who would read a magazine like his.

Hermione's smile left her face and she rolled her eyes. "Of coarse I do!" she cried. "Hello Malfoy, I'm twenty-seven years old. We all aren't like Ron and Harry who never grow up." That glint was in her eyes again.

Draco chuckled and shook his head. "Guess you're right," he said.

"Of coarse I'm right!" Hermione said happily. Draco shot her a look that said, 'I don't think they were the only ones who haven't grown up.' Hermione laughed and patted Draco on the shoulder. "I'm kidding," she said.

Draco shook his head and chuckled.

"Cake's ready!" Mrs. Weasley called.

"Cake!" Rosie yelled, jumping out of Ginny's lap.

Ginny stood up and grabbed Rosie by the waist. "Cake!" she imitated then tickled her.

Rosie giggled and squirmed in Ginny's arms. Ginny brought Rosie over to the table and stood her up on one of the chairs. She then move over so Hermione could get on one side of Rosie while Ron got on the other.

Draco came over and stood next to Ginny. Ginny hugged Draco around the waist and Draco kissed the top of her head. They then proceeded to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Rosie with the rest of the Weasley family.

----------

Ginny and Draco decided to walk home that night. The moon and stars were bright providing them with enough light. The air was still warm for a mid September's night and if they did happen to get cold they could use each other as a coat.

They were now on their street and Draco stopped in front of his building. Ginny stopped walking and looked at him curiously. Draco usually dropped her off at her flat then went home, unless Ginny was eating over or they had other arrangements.

"Stay tonight," he said looking at her with hope filled eyes.

Ginny sighed. "Draco…I would love to but we're having brunch with your mum tomorrow and I want to get a good nights sleep" her voice was full of regret.

Draco pulled her into him and kissed her. His kisses were her 'look.' They could make her do anything.

Ginny pulled back after a few seconds. "You're making it really hard for me to refuse," she said.

Draco smiled at her innocently. "That's what I'm aiming for," he said. He dipped his head again and gave her another 'kiss.'

Again Ginny pulled away after kissing him for a minute. "Fine I'll stay…only if you wake me up early so I can go back to my flat and get ready," she reasoned.

"Deal," Draco said with a firm nod of his head. He then claimed her lips again.

Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body against him. Draco smirked under her lips. He pulled his wand out of his jeans pocket and apparated them into his flat.

----------

Draco looked over at Ginny as they walked up to the front doors of Malfoy Manor. She was looking down at her emerald dress robes, making sure they looked perfect.

As Draco had promised, he woke her up early so she could go back to her flat and get ready. He picked her up early and found her running around her flat, making finishing touches on herself. She was a nervous wreck, just like she was now.

Draco kissed Ginny's cheek. "You look great," he whispered.

Ginny smiled up at him nervously. "I just want to make a good first impression"

Draco's eyebrows knotted in confusion. He reached out and opened the door, as they had come up to it. "Didn't you already meet my mother at the Ministry summer ball?" he held the door open and Ginny walked into the manor.

"Yes…but when I met her, I was introduced as your coworker. Now I'm your girlfriend…two different things" Ginny told Draco as he walked into the manor and closed the door behind him.

Draco chuckled and shook his head. He was about to say something but his mother came into the foyer.

"Draco!" Mrs. Malfoy cried. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him to her in a hug. She kissed his forehead. "Ginevra!" she cried then took Ginny into a hug.

Ginny hugged her back smiling. "Please Mrs. Malfoy, call me Ginny"

Mrs. Malfoy smiled and pushed her back to look at her. "Then call me Narcissa," she said.

Ginny smiled and nodded her head. Draco smiled at his mother and Ginny. He placed his hand on the small of Ginny's back.

"Is everything ready?" he asked his mother.

Mrs. Malfoy nodded her head. "Yes…it's all ready dear," she said.

Mrs. Malfoy lead them into the dining room where three plate settings were set up. Mrs. Malfoy took her place at the head of the table and Draco and Ginny took a seat on either side of her. A house else then came out and placed a plate in front of them.

The plate was filled with an omelet, two pieces of bacon, and a piece of sausage. They all started eating and Mrs. Malfoy was all to eager to show her happiness that her son and Ginny were together.

"You know Ginny," Mrs. Malfoy took a small bite of egg. "When I first met you I thought you and my son would make a perfect couple."

Ginny blushed and a big smile came across her lips. Across from her Draco was trying hard to suppress a groan.

"And then I saw the spread in the magazine and I couldn't help but smile," Mrs. Malfoy continued. "You two looked so cute together! Then Draco owled me one day and told me that he was seeing you and I squealed with happiness."

"Mum," Draco said as Ginny let out a few giggles. After his father died, his mother had started showing emotions that she wasn't allowed to show when his father was around. And Draco had seen his mother happy before, but he had never seen her like this. It was like a giddy happy.

Mrs. Malfoy looked between Draco and Ginny. "Oh I'm sorry dear. I'm letting myself get out of hand with happiness," she apologized.

Ginny smiled and patted Mrs. Malfoy's hand. "That's okay" she took a bite of bacon. She chewed then swallowed it. "I happen to think your son and I make a wonderful couple as well"

Draco chuckled into his food. He was happy that his mother and Ginny were getting along so well. Mrs. Malfoy had never really taken a liking to many of the girls Draco had brought over for dinner, even when he was in school.

Mrs. Malfoy smiled then turned to her son. "I like this one Draco. She's a keeper."

Draco looked up at Ginny. She was biting her lip and her face was the color of a red rose. He smiled at her. "I think your right Mum."

----------

It was some hours afterwards when Ginny and Draco were on there way out. They had work tomorrow and had to get home.

"Mum…thank you for brunch. It was great," Draco said hugging his mother. He kissed her cheek.

"Yes, thank you so much Narcissa. It was lovely," Ginny said. She hugged Mrs. Malfoy tightly.

"You're welcome," Mrs. Malfoy said. She pulled away from Ginny and looked her in the eye. "It was wonderful seeing you again Ginny. You really are a beautiful girl."

Ginny smiled and hugged Mrs. Malfoy again. "Thank you. You're an amazing women," she said.

Draco smiled and rubbed his mother's back. "I'll owl you mum," he said then kissed her cheek again.

"Okay Draco," Mrs. Malfoy said. She was so happy that her son had found such a wonderful girl like Ginny. "Bye Ginny."

"Bye," Ginny said over her shoulder as her and Draco walked out through the door.

They walked out of the gates and apparated to the front of Ginny's flat. Ginny pulled her keys out of her purse when Draco apparated behind her with a 'pop.'

"My mum really likes you," he said, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Ginny smiled and leaned back into Draco. "I got that feeling," she said. She put the key in the lock and unlocked the door.

"I think she liked you more then she likes me," he said chuckling a little.

Ginny pushed the door open. "Oh I know she likes me more then you," she said in mock cockiness. She tilted her head back and smiled at Draco.

"Do you?" Draco asked raising an eyebrow.

Ginny giggled and nodded her head, still looking up at him. Draco smirked at her then quickly bent down and picked her up, bride style. She let out a yelp then started laughing.

"You're so cocky," Draco said walking into the flat.

"Oh…well I learned it from you baby," Ginny said still giggling.

Draco chuckled and kissed her lips, closing the door behind him with his foot.
