Draco searched through papers after papers; he just had to find something. It had been 16 years, and he couldn't find her.

The last lead he had gotten was in America and he had gone there, but he was a step too late. The neighbors had said that a woman with red hair named Virginia had moved away.

His hopes were dashed when they had said that there were also two teenage children with her. That could only meant that Ginny had remarried. However Draco couldn't care, he needed to explain to her why he had left. He needed her... even if it would mean that he could only see her again. To see her smile, that was all.

Ron seemed to have lost hope and her entire family as well. Potter was finally an auror with his wife being at home, Ron and Hermione had married. Her family had moved on, it was only Draco that seemed to want to find her.

He worked well actually he didn't really work. Finding Ginny was his the only important thing to him. Besides he was a Malfoy, why would he need to actually work when he owned everything of the Malfoy's.

When she had first left he went with days without sleep and eating. He would lie in bed while the other side was empty and cold. It was his own fault he should suffer. He thought about Gin and knew that well she must be suffering too. His fault, Merlin he missed her.

Just everything about her smile, kisses, and her laugh. He was about to scream at the top of his lungs when a magic call came in from the fireplace.

"Draco, how are you doing? Hermione and I were wondering if you wanted to come to a family dinner because we have something important to say," Ron said cheerfully.

Draco looked up and replied, "Sure, I have something to say too. Well see you then, bye."

With that Ron's head disappeared from view and left Draco only to site back and sigh.

He took the picture from his desk, a picture of him and Ginny on their honeymoon. They were dancing slowly under the moonlight; it was taken by a tourist that asked if they wanted a copy. The picture was taken because it was the love that the tourist or photographer wanted.

Her eyes looked so sparkly and it was filled with pure happiness. Yet that day when he looked back all he could see was pain and emptiness. He liked the way her full pink lips quirked up into a smile; he would never forget that. Not even in his dreams, never in his dreams.

He took his finger and traced the silky face of Gin; "I will find you Gin and tell you why. Just why and hope that you will forgive me," Draco whispered.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco sat in the burrow with everyone laughing and talking loudly. They looked... happy. Not one person stopped to think that Gin was here, he resented them for that. They could continue on life as if they didn't care that she left. He hated them for it.

Bill was dead from the war when Gin was in her seventh year, and Charlie was doomed to be forever single. Fred married Alicia Spinnet and George married Katie Bell, and the joke shop was blooming with business. Opening more branches in other areas of the magical world, both in total have three children. Fred having twins named Shawn and Blake. While George had a daughter named Desiree Weasley.

Percy of course married Penelope Clearwater and they both have a single daughter named Rowena Weasley. Ron and Hermione had three children; the eldest Dominic Weasley, the second Charlotte Weasley, the last one was Tempest Weasley.

"So, as for our announcements," Ron said standing up, "Dumbledore has asked Hermione, Charlie, Harry, and me to teach at Hogwarts. Most of the teachers are retiring this year so Hermione is taking over Arithmetic Charlie is taking over Care of Magical Creatures, Harry is teaching Quidditch, and I'm taking over Divination."

Everyone congratulated him or her, smiling and praising him or her. The new Headmaster of Hogwarts or Headmistress was McGonagall. While Serverus finally got the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Draco had yet to tell them that he had finally taken a job as the new Potion's professor.

He decided that for the rest of his life he couldn't do nothing and look for Gin, he had to at least do some form of work. Besides if Gin were married then she would honor her heritage of sending her children to Hogwarts.

After all she was old fashion and she did tell him of all the stories for the future.

( memory) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She sat in his lap and giggled hard, while he tickled her. They were sitting the porch and just watching the sunset. Ginny laid her head down on his chest while he stroked her back and played with her hair.

"I want to have lots of children, like my parent's," Ginny declared.

Draco wiggled his eyebrows, "Sounds good, I mean I like that idea."

Ginny swatted his arm and stuck out her tongue at him. "I meant that I like children and I want one with your eyes and my hair, or both of our hair and your eyes."

"You like my eyes that much?" Draco laughed.

Ginny nodded, "They're like a storm, sometimes cloudy or when your mad there like thunderstorm."

"I want my kids to have your hair. It's like a fire that glows like a halo," Draco smiled softly.

He stroked her hair and she smiled softly. The sky was like an orange-red and it was beautiful, it was romantic.

"Do you think that we can have on soon?" Ginny whispered quietly.

Draco grinned, "Baby, I can certainly try for that."

"I love you Draco, with all my heart," Ginny mumbled into his chest.

After so many years of dating Ginny, he was able to make out what she had murmured. He smiled too, "I love you too, forever no matter what."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Draco?" Ron asked.

Draco shook his head, "Sorry, what did you say. I wasn't paying attention."

"You said that you had something to tell us too?" Hermione added.

"Oh right, Merlin where is my mind these days? Yes, well you guys beat me to it. I'm teaching as well, Potions. Yes I get to be the professor that makes every little Gryffindor's life a hell," Draco smirked.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron laughed and soon followed by everyone else.

Hermione joked, "Oh no, another Snape. I suppose then Ron will play favoritism as well for Gryffindor."

Ron puffed his chest, "Of course!"

Then the kids cried out, declaring that with their aunts and uncles there. There'd be no way for them to do anything without getting grounded. All the adults laughed at the thought and the kids just sulked and pouted.

"When did you get you're letter?" Ron asked.

"Yesterday," Draco replied.

Ron nodded and soon dinner conversation continued. It was a pleasant meal with the younger twins now pulling pranks at everyone.

Even Draco was careful only to eat certain foods. He sighed knowing that the food no matter what would be pranked. Tempest gave a loud shriek noticing that she was slowly changing into a little fuzzy rabbit.

Everyone laughed and watched Tempest jump up and take a hard bite out of Shawn's hand. He jumped out of his chair yelping and finally 10 minutes later she was back to her original form. She glared at them and refused to speak to them till they were 10 years in their graves.

Soon dinner was over and everyone left and went home to sleep. School started tomorrow and Draco needed his sleep.

He apparted home and crawled into bed. He looked at the other side of bed, only to notice the wind blowing softly through the window. He pulled his hands behind his head to think again.

( memory) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco was sick in bed with the flu. It was the season and yet he refused to admit that he was sick, however Ginny ruthlessly twisted his ear and made him stay in bed. Merlin the woman was ruthless.

He loved her to bits.

He coughed hard and sneezed and only remembered seeing red. He knew he had drifted to sleep when he woke up with a soft singing and a cold towel being placed on his head. He slowly opened his eyes to see Ginny smiling softly at him.

"Well now, you are a lot better. You're fever broke and all you need is rest now," Ginny brushed the strands of hair in his face.

He caught her hand, "Thanks for being my nurse, come to bed with me."

She kissed his forehead and crawled into bed with him. They were close to one and other and Draco was content with his new source of heat. He loved her and well this was perfect.

It all fitted together and he hoped that this feeling in his chest and heart would never end. It made him feel alive and he loved it. He loved her. Okay, so all he could think about how much he loved her and well that made him all gooey.

He sighed and put his face in her hair to smell of fresh flowers and sighing contently.

Before he fell into slumber he heard her whisper, "What would I do without you?"

He made a vow in his heart that he would never ever stop loving her. No matter what. He grinned as he stroked her hair, he fell asleep fast and went into a dream of just Ginny and him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco sat at the high table, he was announced as as well as everyone who was a new teacher. He taught Potions, Hermione was teaching Arithmetic, Charlie was taking over Care of Magical Creatures, Harry was teaching flying as well as Quidditch, Astronomy was taught by an American teacher Felicia Allegros, Herbology was taught by Longbottom, charms was this old teacher, and apparently Binns was still teaching.

He thought it was weird, you'd think the ghost would pass into the next life or something like that.

He smirked as he watched the first years shudder in fear as Snape announced them. Creevy walked by Snape and the kid looked like he was about to faint.

Once the sorting had finished Headmistress McGonagall stood getting everyone's attention. "I would like to introduce to you two new students that transferred from the Salem Witch Academy. They have both been sorted in Slytherin and I do hope that you will show your support and help to them. Aidan Draco Malfoy and Evelyn Virginia Malfoy."

There was scattered clapping, as everyone seemed confused. Draco frowned, he didn't have any cousins or he didn't know anyone would have the Malfoy last name other than himself.

He watched two figures walk in and they stood in front of the high table. They pulled back their hoods to reveal Aidan Malfoy and Eve Malfoy.

Aidan was a tall and had a built figure. He had pale blond hair and piercing gray eyes, just like... Draco. He had his hair spiked and the only way for people to describe him was dominating. His eyes met in contact with Draco's and the kid sneered.

Next to Aidan was Eve, she had blond hair too, but with a few red hair strands. It made her hair look exotic. Her hair was wavy and like her twin brother they were about the same height with the same eyes. Many of the males in Hogwarts began to lean forward to get a better view of her. She was like a beautiful ice sorceress.

Draco couldn't breath, this couldn't be right. What was going on?

McGonagall cleared her throat; "Yes arriving now is the new head of the Hospital Wing, Madam Virginia Weasley!"
