Chapter Three: Meeting
The next morning Draco woke up at 7:30 that morning and was anxious to see Ginny again, but today wasn't going to be as fun and exciting as yesterday. Today, Draco and Emily were going over there to discuss about Draco and Pansy's divorce. At the thought of that, Draco smacked his forehead. He hadn't even confronted Pansy about that yet, but he was still going to go through with it. No matter what, Draco was going to have full custody of Emily. Oh by god, I will. Draco thought as he got up and got ready.
Half an hour later, Draco went to the kitchen to make a breakfast. He found Pansy there drinking a cup of coffee. Draco grunted and continued to do as he planned. Pansy sighed, "Draco, baby. I'm really about the night when I came home so drunk. I didn't know what was happening to me. You believe me right?" Pansy got off the seat and wrapped her arms around Draco's neck only to have it shrugged off.
"Which night are you talking about. You always came home drunk." Draco replied coldly as he cracked an egg. Pansy inwardly huffed. This was going to be harder then she thought.
"Well, then I'm sorry for all of those nights then. Do you forgive me?"
Draco laughed, "Forgive you. Ha! Yeah right. Not in this life time babe." Pansy gasped and slapped Draco. "Fuck you then Draco." He smirked and responded, "You already did." Boy, this feels good. Draco thought.
Pansy smiled, rewrapped her arms around Draco's neck and whispered in his ear, "Do you want another child?" Draco shuddered.
He lifted her arms off his shoulders as he turned around and put his hands on her hips and whispered back, "Sorry babe, I wouldn't want to have another child with you if it was to save my life." He smirked at Pansy's shocked face. Heh, I was wrong. This feels good. Draco thought as he untangled himself from Pansy's arms and put the eggs and bacon on the plates.
"Oh yeah, one more thing. Could you move out?" Before Pansy was able to answer, Draco winked at her and continued, "Thanks and be out of here with in.......oh a week or two."
He put the plates on the table and went upstairs to Emily's room to wake her. Leaving Pansy standing frozen to the spot as she slowly, very slowly started to process Draco's words.
When Draco and Emily were done eating, they cleaned up and contacted Ginny; just to make sure that the meeting was still on.
"Ginny's Haven!" Draco shouted into the fireplace. After a couple of seconds, Ginny's head appeared in the flames. "Oh hey Draco, hi Emily. What's up?"
"Hey, I was just wondering if the meeting was still on."
Ginny nodded, "Of course. Unless you want to cancel." Draco shook his head, "No. Do you want us to go there now?"
"Sure, but I have Ron's twins over. Is that ok?"
"Yeah. I'll be over in like five minutes."
Ginny nodded. The two disconnected and Draco packed up all of Emily's belongings that she might need. Five minutes later, Draco put the baby bag strap on his shoulder, picked Emily up and flooed to Ginny's apartment.
"Hey! You can take Emily to the nursery and then we'll get started. Let me just set up the files first." Ginny said getting straight to work. She was in her suit with her hair pulled back. Draco obeyed Ginny's orders and came back set.
They sat down in Ginny's dinning room. "Ok. First I need you to tell me why you want do get divorced." Ginny said, taking out a pen and a pad.
Draco took a deep breath and started, "One night I had came back..." Draco told the story that he had told Ginny yesterday. He didn't really want to because she already knew, but he knew that she was only doing her job. She has to keep her social life and personal life separate.
"Ok. Now I just want to explain to you what the effects of...lets just say hard divorces. Your wife, Pansy, might not agree with your decision. She might feel that your marriage is just fine. I'm not sure, but in some cases that is what she is going to think and feel being that you hadn't confronted her about her drinking habits. You hadn't taken her to rehab. She might feel that you, being her husband, should have helped her get through her problem.
The result of these thoughts will lead to a very hard first stage. She will be in denial. She will probably have a fit. If she does in the end follow out with your choice then that means that we are on the next stage. Which is planning. When you are getting a divorce and you have a child, you have to chose between the mother or the father who is going to have full custody of the child. In most cases mothers always end up with the child because mothers usually have the instinct on how to raise a child and take care of one. Most fathers on the other hand don't. They tend to not care as much. So we have to plan on the excuses we are going to use to help you.
Now I'm going to ask this once and once only. Are you positive that you want a divorce after knowing the outcome of the bad side?" Ginny explained.
Draco nodded surely. "Yes, I'm positive."
"Ok. I need you to sign here." She pointed to an "x" with a pen and Draco signed.
"Alright, now more to explain. If she doesn't follow out with you choice then we are to have to make her. We will have to make her understand that you two aren't living happy lives. You basically need to inform her of the consequences of staying together and the greatness in being apart." Ginny said.
Draco sighed. He didn't know that there would be so much work in getting a divorce and gaining custody. Ginny laid a hand on his shoulder. "I know it hard Draco, but I promise you after two more meetings this will get easier. I hate having to give these dumb speeches, but I have to."
Ginny took a deep breath and continued explaining. Two hours, 15 signatures and umpteen speeches later they were finished. They stood up and stretched. Draco went to get Emily while Ginny put the papers back into the folder and paper clips loose leafs.
Draco came back with a sleeping Emily in his arms. Ginny looked at the toddler with loving eyes and then looked up at Draco and smiled. "You have changed." She stated as she continued.
Draco frowned, "Is it good?"
She grinned and replied back without turning around, "For the better. You're more caring and respectful."
"uh, thanks."
Ginny turned around and said in a stern voice, "No matter what happens, I need you to remain like this. Cool and collected. You can't get felonies, you can't make a bad reputation now or else it will be a strike for you."
Draco sighed and ran his free hand through his hair, "I know."
Ginny beamed, "You'll be able to do it. I'm sure of it. I think you need to put Emily in her bed now."
"Oh yeah." Draco smirked, "I'll see you tomorrow?"
Ginny nodded, "Yeah. Well that's only if you get Pansy to sign the papers. Other wise, we have no reason to see each other."
Draco nodded and headed for the fireplace. "Alright, well bye."
"Bye."
As soon as Draco was gone, Ginny's body got slammed into a wall. She winced as her head collided into it.
"What was he doing here?" The person whispered.
Ginny shivered, "Don't do this. Ron's twins are here."
The person released her, huffed and disapparated.
Ginny slid down on to the floor and placed her head in her hands whispering, "No, please. He can't be back!"
Draco stepped out of the fireplace and dusted himself off as good as possible with Emily in his arms. He walked up to Emily's room and put her to bed. He was going to get Pansy to sign those papers tonight when she comes back from god knows where. He took a shower and waited for her to walk through the door that night.
At 1:30 in the morning, Pansy staggered through the door and collapsed on the floor. Draco glared at her disgusted, but casted the sobering charm on her. He sat her down on the couch and gave her a cup of hot chocolate.
"Thanks baby." Pansy slurred. Draco grunted in reply and headed upstairs to retrieve his files. He came back with a folder that contained the paper that Pansy needed to sign.
Draco sat back down and opened the folder explaining to her everything that was going to happen, "Look Parkinson, I'm filing for a divorce. I don't and can't stay with you anymore. The mere sight of you disgusts me, it makes me want to vomit. I also want custody of Emily; so if you would, please sign here."
He looked up to Pansy putting the pen in her hand half expecting her to sign the papers. She jumped up and shouted, "What!" Draco pushed her back in the seat and told her to be quiet, "Emily's asleep."
She growled and walked over to the kitchen. She grabbed the nearest kitchen knife and threw it towards Draco. He quickly ducked and headed for Pansy.
He pulled her down, stopping her from getting anymore knifes. "What in the world do you think your doing Pansy. Are you trying to kill me?" Draco questioned demandingly.
Pansy struggled under Draco. "I HATE you Draco Malfoy. I hate what you have become. Ever since that bitch Weasley left you've been acting like a lost puppy. Get over it Draco. She will never love you! You're a Malfoy and she's a Weasley." She hollered.
Draco jumped off her. "Shut the-"
All of the sudden, the door broke down and a bunch of Ministry Aurors came in. "Draco Malfoy! Stay right where you are. You're being arrested." Moody said in a stern voice as he place body binds on Draco. Other Aurors helped Pansy off the floor and asked her questions about what had happened. Apparently a neighbor had heard the yelling and they called for help thinking something was wrong.
"He viciously grabbed me and demanded that I sign his papers. I didn't even know what the were. He didn't explain anything to me and see that knife. He tried to stab me with it." Pansy lied crying.
Aurors took Draco to the Ministry to keep him in a room over night, while they brought Emily and Pansy to St. Mongos to get some rest. They didn't think it would be comfortable for the two to sleep in the house that night.
The next morning, Ginny got Draco out of the Ministry, but failed to convince the Minister from giving Draco a felony. "So much for no felonies and keeping a clean reputation." Ginny asked as soon as they were out of the building.
Draco grunted. Ginny shook her head in disapproval. They were going to see Emily now. Draco wanted to get Emily out of Pansy's arms as soon as possible. You never know what a crazy bitch could do.
