Infatuation

By: babykelyse

A/N: Guys I'm SO sorry for such a long wait. I've been having relationship problems (severed those ties though ) plus my computer went screwy and wouldn't start. So I've just now got my computer back this week. So...as a gift for your putting up with my long awaited updates and since this chapter has been a long time in coming, I'll attempt to write two chapters at once and have them both posted today I promise, promise, promise you won't have longer than a couple days wait for these chapters from now on

Author Responses: gilot04- I'm so sorry for the long wait. The updates will be coming a lot quicker I promise Cycla- Thank you The fourth chapter is my favorite so far lol The Cheshire Katt- I would never be so evil as to leave it like that lol I'd have to beat myself up :P CMaca-B- I'm updating! A bit...late lol mallory- Sorry for such the long wait. It'll never be that long until an update from now on Power Punk- Thank you I've been writing DG stories ever since I first read Harry Potter...but I'd always wondered about Harry and Pansy. It's a good thing I played on my hunches lol SNB- I definitely get where you're coming from, and sorry if I seemed confrontational. It wasn't intentional. And I do agree...most of the stories on this site...they're not worth the dirt on the bottom of my shoe(I'd use different words...but I'm afraid I'd get kicked off lol) And I'm...extremely picky about what I read and especially about what I write. JKR has done a tremendous job on creating her characters and I'd hate to be the one ruining it. But enough of that. I'm glad you're enjoying the story nicky- Thank you I'm sorry for such the long wait with the update. Amscray- Snape is rumored to be Harry's father? Wow...I definitely need to read up on that. I heard about FDR marrying his distant cousin when I had American History. But I'll definitely hold off on marrying a distant cousin of my own and as for your question...it shall be after graduation. Much, much after that. I'm thinking...5 or 10 years at the most. You'll see in this chapter Lilybee2003- Thank you I can never seem to stray away from Ginny/Draco for some reason lol But there won't be much of them in this story. I'm focusing primarily on Harry/Pansy with a little bit of Ginny/Draco. Vinese- They'll be talking again soon Tis not the end for Harry and Pansy. Hitmanhand- I know I know lol I promise these next chapters will be making up for the ending john- Don't hurt me please! lol this update...is long overdue I know. But I am continuing it and yes...they will be meeting up outside of Hogwart's. Elizabeth- Thank you So sorry for the long wait. anonymous- Thank you I promise that this will be the last time these updates take forever to get up. Hopefully I won't be having any more computer issues lol Jewel- This update would have been out a lot sooner had my computer not crashed / But it's working now so these updates will be coming out a lot sooner I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Slytherin-girl TF Lover- Thank you for the reviews :D I'm glad you're enjoying the story MisterSphynx- Here's the next chapter It was a long time in coming I know...but you get two for today lol SweetSouthernGal- Thank you!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, but I do own the plot of this story

Five

Pansy watched amusedly as a silver-haired sprite tried unsuccessfully to crawl up her leg. He was a little boy of two and looked every bit of a Malfoy. The only thing that showed his mother's side were his piercing chocolate brown eyes. She smiled again and pulled the little boy, named Adail, up on her lap. She gave him a smacking kiss on the cheek and set him down.

"I think he has a crush on you, Pans."

Pansy looked up and laughed. Ginny Weasely, now Ginny Malfoy stood in front of her with a huge grin on her face. In her arms was an exact replica of herself, save for the intense grey eyes, Adail's twin sister, Adaila.

"You flatter me, Gin."

"Well, you know it's true," she laughed.

Each settled down into a comfortable silence. Pansy reminisced on how everything had come to be. After her last encounter with Harry in the Astronomy Tower, he'd distanced himself from her. She knew she should have felt relieved, but she only felt worse. She kept his cloak that he'd given her and each night she'd slept with it by her side. His scent had never faded from it, but seemed to grow stronger. Then, the war had come. Pansy had switched to the light side, though by no means had she thought muggles her equal. She just didn't agree with that lunatic's ways. So she, Draco and many others had become spies for Dumbledore. The war had been long and bloody. Many of her friends, and classmates had suffered.

They did prevail however, sending many of the Death Eaters to Azkaban. Harry had defeated Voldemort of course. Pansy, like many others had watched on the sidelines as each threw curses to try and render the other helpless. At one point, Harry had been knocked down and wasn't immediately getting up. Pansy had felt her heart turn to stone and a shrill scream had pierced the night sky. It was later, years afterwards, that she had found out it had been her who had screamed. She wanted to run out to Harry, to protect him, but hands held her back.

Finally, he pushed himself up and resumed his dueling with Voldemort. Pansy had never felt so relieved in her life. After 4 excruciating hours, the battle had come to an end. Harry had sent the Avada Kedavra and it killed Voldemort the instant it hit him. Pansy wanted to run to Harry, to congratulate him, but she held back. She was fearful of his rejection. She remembered what he'd said to her that last night at the tower, about how he would wait for her. But would he really?

Pansy was brought out of her reverie when a shrill scream pierced through the air.

"Mommy!"

"Ah! The brood calls again. Draco better get his arse here soon or he'll find all of his children locked in a tower."

Pansy laughed as Ginny went to see what was wrong. She looked around and smiled. Ginny belonged here, in Malfoy Manor. It suited her. Ginny had been apprehensive, of course. With the Malfoy's always having a feud with the Weasley's, but she and Draco had overcome it all, and had made Malfoy Manor a home, and not just a house. Draco's father, Lucius, was dead, and Narcissa had her own smaller estate in the city. Narcissa had immediately fell for Ginny the moment she'd met her. Ginny mouthing off to her, when she'd insulted her family, had helped a bit as well. Now, Ginny, Draco, and their children lived happily in Malfoy Manor.

"Davin! You get that bucket off your sister's head this moment!"

"But Mom,"

"You heard me, young man! You're lucky your father isn't here to see this!"

"But mom, she made me! She kicked me!"

"That doesn't give you the right to put a bucket on her head! Take it off now!"

Pansy laughed outright as she walked in on the scene. Davin, a younger version of Draco to the very core, stood, hands on his hips as he glared at his, what seemed to be his younger sister.

"Davin Arthur Malfoy you take that bucket off her head this instant!"

"Okay, okay."

Grudgingly, the 8-year old pulled the bucket off his younger sister's head. Fiery copper curls fell down to her shoulders, and livid brown eyes glared at him. 5-year old Reina Molly Malfoy looked pissed as hell. Not only did she look exactly like her mother, she had a temper to match, if not rival her mother's.

"Both of you up to your rooms, NOW! We'll deal with this when you father gets home."

A chorus of but moms were screeched to a halt when she held up her hand. Without another word, Davin and Reina walked slowly to their rooms.

"They'll be inseparable once they get to Hogwart's, you know."

"Yes. Davin will scare off any bloke that even attempts to come near Reina. The same thing Ronald did to me," Ginny laughed.

"Have you given any thought to what Houses they'll be going in?"

"No. One of them is bound to have a tiny bit of Gryffindor in them don't you think?"

"Maybe," Pansy laughed. "But I do know, Davin is the prime example of a Slytherin."

Both women laughed and began to talk of the latest fashion in robes and other things. As Ginny went to put the twins to bed, and check on Davin and Reina, Pansy began to pick up the various toys left around. She was startled out of her wits when a smooth, deep voice said,

"So Gin's making you a maid now, eh?"

"Draco! Gods, you scared me half to death!"

He apologized, but looked every bit the opposite of it. She smiled and went over to give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Just then, Ginny came down and the two embraced as if they hadn't been married for nearly 10 years. Pansy looked away, smiling sadly. She could have had that...with Harry. Just then she noticed a tall figure hidden in the shadows.

"Draco?"

Draco pulled himself reluctantly from his wife's arms to look over to Pansy. When she nodded her head towards the figure, he seemed to remember himself.

"Oh! I almost forgot. I brought along a guest, darling."

"You could hardly call me a guest, Drake."

Pansy felt her heart stop, and then speed up at the familiar voice. The figure came out of the shadows and Pansy found herself staring at the man she'd not seen since Hogwart's. Standing in front of her, was none other than Harry Potter.

"Harry?" Pansy nearly choked, as her throat began to close up.

"Pansy."

Pansy reached out as if to see if he were really standing there. As her fingers closed upon his woolen jacket, she let the darkness consume her. Strong, gentle arms caught her before she fell.

A/N: Okay! That's it for this chapter Hope it wasn't too bad lol As I promised, I'll be putting out two chapters today, but they won't be back to back unfortunately. But they'll both be out today if it kills me I should have the next one out in a couple of hours at the latest. So, you know the drill people: read, review, and as always enjoy. Ciao
