Chapter Three: Back to the Burrow and Bringing Back Memories

Ginny landed softly right next to the fire, sending her and Draco's old dog into fits of barking. A moment later, Draco walks in the room looking quite dirty and it also looked like he needed a shave.

"Hi honey, looking good. How's the family?" he asked then smiled happily like she popped into their living room everyday.

"Don't you 'hi honey' me Draco Malfoy!" she yelled unhappily.

His smiled was wiped off his face and was replaced by a frown. "You come here without so much as a 'hi honey, long time no see,' and expect me to be nice to you now? Ginny, I had been waiting 5 years for you to come home and now you finally do and you treat me like crap. What do you want anyway?"

"Draco, you better get your stubborn arse over here and give me a divorce. I have to get back to my place," Ginny said unhappily taking out papers and setting them on the coffee table. "Sign here and here and I can leave you alone."

Draco examined the papers carefully and set them back down on the coffee table. He looked up at Ginny who was watching him like a hawk.

"You know what?" asked Draco giving Ginny the famous Malfoy smirk which meant he was up to know good. "I think I'll just wait awhile, you know, just so you can get a chance to settle in."

"What?" yelled Ginny furiously. She was pissed and didn't want to stay longer than she needed. "Draco, I have a meeting with my old secretary in an hour and I need to apparate back pronto! Don't you mess around with me Draco."

Draco got up off the rocking chair, grabbed Ginny by the arms and dragged her out to the front door. "Ok, here's a deal. You go see your parents, maybe take them out to eat, at least say hello, go see a few of your brothers, chat, talk, be merry, and then come back here and I'll sign your stupid papers. Got it?" he asked simply.

Now Ginny was really mad. "Draco! I don't have time for this."

"Ginny, your parents have done nothing wrong but raise you right and you better go thank them for that. They have a right to know you're in town. And besides, I would love nothing more right now then to piss you off!" and with that, Draco slammed the door shut in her face.

He went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass and poured himself a butterbeer. He looked out the window to make sure she was gone, then sat down on the couch to read and before you knew it, Ginny was reading the same page as him over his shoulder causing Draco to jump 3 inches off the chair.

"Ginny! How the hell did you get in here?" he practically shouted sending her death glares.

"Alohamora," she said simply like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Ginny…" he said angrily running to their old room and slamming the door shut.

Ginny sat down on the couch and waited for Draco to cool of and come out.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door and she went up to grab it since Draco was obviously being a poop butt and wasn't going to come out for anything anytime soon.

"May I help… Harry?" she asked wide eyed and surprised and ran over to him quickly and giving him her biggest hug. "What on earth are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here? Don't you mean what are you doing here?" asked Harry hugging her back.

But Ginny ignored his question. "Why are you here though Harry?"

"I got a call from Draco saying that he needed a little help," Harry replied frowning. "But where is he"

"He's in his room letting off a little steam," said Ginny.

"No I'm right here," said a voice from behind them which was none other than Draco Malfoy.

"What seems to be the problem Malfoy?" asked Harry coolly. I guess that was his job as an auror.

"Ginny here broke into my house!" he shouted angrily pointing at her like a 3 year old. To his actions, Ginny stuck her tongue out.

"Ginny, you can't just go breaking in to other peoples houses now can you?" asked Harry politely.

"But Harry! It isn't just his house! It's mine too!" she shouted, glaring at Harry then to Draco.

"It is? But Malfoy, you said you took care of this problem a while back," Harry said utterly confused. Draco knew which 'problem' Harry was referring to.

"I thought I had!" he shot back.

"Obviously not," mumbled Ginny.

"Well if she's still your wife then there's nothing I can do about it," said Harry slowly heading for the door.

"But she broke in!" Draco yelled.

"But it's her house," Harry replied.

There was a long silence and Harry let out a long sigh. "Ok well I think I can leave you two to work it out..."

"Hey wait! Wasn't there an outstanding warrant for whoever stole Ron's muggle car and threw it in a ditch?" asked Draco happily.

Harry stopped dead in his tracks and glared at Ginny.

"Oh! I was mad at him for ratting on mom about me so I took it out on his car in flew it in a ditch. Can you really blame me?"

"Hello?"

"Mum?"

"Ginny?"

"Hey mum."

"Ginny? Is that really you? I haven't heard from you in forever. How's life been treating you?"

"Mum, I'm in town…"

"Oh you are? Will you stop by?"

"Well that's the thing; I was hoping you could come by and get me."

"Why cant you just apparate on by?"

"Because I'm at the Ministry and you need to sign me out."

"Ginny? How could you? Ron was only doing what was right," said Arthur Weasley as he signed a sheet of paper saying Ginny could be released.

"Well if he would just shut his trap- oh wait! He can't!" mumbled Ginny furiously.

"Ginny…" said Arthur warningly.

"What?" she yelled.

"You need to chill out," he said quietly. He finished signing the papers and they walked out of the building going to the elevator which, in the muggle world, was really a telephone booth.

"Let's take a walk, shall we?" asked Arthur walking along the street curb once they got out of the booth.

"I don't care," mumbled Ginny, looking at her feet and kicking at the rocks that she passed.

"Now Ginny, why did you come here and why did Draco and Harry take you to the ministry for 'violating public property'?" asked Arthur calmly.

Ginny looked up and sighed. "Because Draco wouldn't sign the god damn-."

"Ginny, no need for such a mouth."

"Sorry," she apologized quickly then went on. "He wouldn't sign the papers dad. I don't know why, I mean it's obvious he doesn't want to be with me so why won't he sign? I think he's doing this to piss me off and if he is, it's seriously working."

Arthur looked at her sadly and said, "Why didn't you break it off before you left?"

Ginny looked back at him. For the first time, she noticed he was old. She knew he had always been old but this time, it was different. He had gray splotches of hair, was getting wrinkles, and on top of it all, was shrinking. The Weasleys' had always been a tall family but she was about his height right then.

"I don't know why," Ginny replied sadly.

For a few minutes they walked in silence and then Arthur finally suggested they go back to The Burrow for some tea and reacquaintances then apparated off.
