Chapter Two: Ghosts of Dead Parents
The light disappeared leaving the two people beside the coffee table. Silently the couple walked through the furniture and floated upstairs. The male walked in front when they came to four doors. Peeking in one door he shook his head and moved on. He did this to the two other doors until he came to the last. Finding what he wanted he walked inside. The woman followed and smiled softly at the room and the person inside.
Though it was still night the room had a low glow around it, illuminating the gold and silver walls. Dressers were in different parts of the room, a light read color that blended in beautifully with the walls. A full length mirror hung across from the bed. Instead of the bed being reflected the mirror showed another room in which a young man slept. The bed in front of the mirror was black with a deep emerald color. It was a four post bed with curtains of the same deep emerald as the bed. Instead of being closed they were open and the couple could see inside.
A blond haired young man lay sleeping, his face looking at the mirror. A peaceful and loving look was on his face making him even more beautiful than he was awake. The young man sighed in his sleep, a name passing his lips. "Harry."
The woman smiled once more and glanced at the mirror than her companion. Knowing that the blond couldn't hear her she spoke. "Are you satisfied now James? From what we've seen here he's in love with Harry and won't or can't do anything to hurt him."
"Fine, I'm satisfied for now but I want to know why he sent Ginny in his place. He should have known this would happen."
"We can ask him when he puts on the ring. Now come on, it's almost morning and I want to be waiting in the ring not around the house."
James muttered under his breath but followed the woman out of the room and downstairs. They disappeared with another bright light. The sun started to peak through the shutters as the light disappeared leaving the ring once again dull and lifeless.
Hours later Draco was the first to come stumbling down. He immediately went to the kitchen where he started the coffee. Ever since Ron had introduced him to the stuff through Hermione, he had to have a cup or more every day. Speaking of which, Ron came downstairs followed by his girlfriend and sister.
Yawning a good morning Hermione started breakfast while Ginny set the table. Ron grabbed his own cup of coffee and the Daily Prophet before sitting down. He almost choked on the coffee when he saw the front page.
Harry Potter to Marry a Malfoy!
Last night Lavender Brown got a shock when she saw Harry Potter and his date in Silver Dragon, an up scaled restaurant. As she and the rest of the diners watched the man who defeated Voldemort got on one knee and asked his companion to marry him.
Now that was shocking enough when she told us but this was even more shocking. Though Harry never said his companion's first name the waiter asked if Ms. Malfoy would like something all night long. Ms? Unless a certain Draco Malfoy likes to masquerade as a woman there appears to be more secrets his family is hiding. Question is now, is Harry Potter really in love with this Malfoy? Or is it just a really, really good joke to get back at his old arch enemy? Or to confuse the rest of us for a long time.
Looks like we'll find out at the wedding of a lifetime and beyond, if there is a wedding that is.

"Oh my god." Ron muttered, catching his three companions' attention.
Draco reached over and took the paper. Reading it silently he handed it to Ginny who read it with Hermione looking over her shoulder. Placing the paper down Ginny looked at Draco. "I told him I'd think about it. The ring's in the living room, since he let me have it until I made up my mind."
"We can worry about that later. Breakfast is ready." Hermione spoke up, bringing the food over.
They ate silently and did the dishes before moving into the living room. Dropping onto the couch Draco spread out his legs. Dressed in blue jeans and a light blue t-shirt he looked more like a muggle than a wizard. Pushing a golden lock out of his face Draco turned to face Ginny.
Ginny was in a lazy boy, her legs swinging back and forth. Ron and Hermione shared another lazy boy both sitting in it comfortably. Silence rang for a few minutes before Hermione finally broke it. Fingering the ring she had taken from the coffee table she threw it lightly to Draco who caught it. "We think it was his mother's. In fact Ron's betting on it because it has his parent's initials in it." Hermione explained.
Draco nodded and glanced down at the plain golden ring that sparkled with emeralds, after a glance at the siblings and Hermione Draco slipped the ring on. When he moved his hand away the ring started to glow. It grew so bright the four housemates had to shut their eyes.
When they opened them again their jaws dropped. It was Ron who broke the silence. "Bloody hell! Your James and Lily Potter!" Lily laughed lightly her red hair swinging in an unseen wind. Her green eyes were bright with amusement and love as she looked over the four housemates. James chuckled softly and looked at Draco. "We have a couple of questions for you. I hope you're ready to answer them."
Draco paled but nodded and braced himself for the questions.
