A/N: This is the last chapter. Thanks to all of you who reviewed! Very much appreciated. I'm sorry this chapter is so short, as I said before I wrote this on a plane and was really tired and about to land when I finished it. Sorry! I'm so glad you all liked it though!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plotline.
Chap. 4
It had been a year and Draco thought he would never see Ginny again. She hadn't even owled him since she left. Until one day when she showed up at his front door once again.
He was eating breakfast in the front parlour when he heard it—their special knock.
Draco practically ran to the front door, arriving before a house-elf could. He flung it wide open and exclaimed, "Ginny! You came ba- What the hell happened to you?" Ginny's face was covered in purple bruises and cuts, including an H branded just above her left temple. "Harry did this, didn't he?"
Ginny nodded her head. "The divorce has been final for about a month. I had gone into hiding in an unplottable apartment. I didn't even tell Mum or Dad where I was living. And then I was out shopping yesterday when Harry found me and cornered me with his wand. He- he raped me and beat me. I have a restraining order against him and can't go home because he knows where I live. So I came here. I hoped you'd understand. I don't want to interrupt your life…" She peered around as though she were looking for someone.
"Gin, there's no one else here. I haven't been out with anyone since last year. I told you I would wait and I have. My proposal is still on the table, you know."
"Oh Draco. Not now. Maybe in a few months, if everything works out with me staying here, we can talk about it. But right now I just need somewhere safe to stay, OK?"
"That sounds like a plan, Ginny. Now, let's get you into a bath and get some healing potions for those cuts and bruises."
Seven months later
"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Draconis Malfoy. Draco, you may kiss your bride."
Draco dipped Ginny and kissed her passionately as every Weasley, Malfoy, Parkinson, Zabini, along with other pureblooded wizarding families and many of Ginny's magical and non-magical friends gave them a standing ovation.
"Now, my dearest, shall we begin the first day of the rest of our lives?"
