Ginny stood, waiting for something to happen and when Harry noticed she was there, Draco turned around to face her. "Ginevra," he said, knowing very well he was the only one she allowed to call her that.

"What are you doing here," she whispered. He smirked and she knew Harry was wondering what was going on.

"I was back in town. Thought I'd stop by for a visit." He grinned inwardly as Harry gasped behind him.

"Malfoy, I told you to leave. She's got nothing to say to you." His voice was neutral but there was a fire in his eyes and Ginny knew something bad was going to happen.

"Draco," she said. "I don't know why you're back, and in my house, but I suggest you leave. My daughters birthday is today and I don't have time to argue with you."

Draco feigned a look of sadness. "A party? And I wasn't invited?" He smirked at the look on her face. "I thought you'd remember an old friend at times like these." Harry walked over to Ginny and put his arm around her waist protectively.

"Malfoy, get out of my house." Draco nodded and started walking toward the couple.

"I just need a word alone with Ginevra." He'd always thought her nickname was too childish and refused to call her by it. Ginny didn't like it first but had grown quite used to it by now.

"You're not going anywhere alone with my wife." Harry was talking in a possesive tone and Ginny found herself smiling. He'd go to the ends of the earth for her if she asked him too. Anything to make her happy.

"It's alright Harry." She kissed him softly. "I can take care of myself. Go watch Makayla until people start arriving, which should be soon," she said, looking at the clock. He looked weary for a moment, but knew Ginny was able enough to take care of someone like Malfoy if he got out of line. He squeezed Ginny's hand and glared at Draco before leaving the room. Ginny waited until he was gone and started walking out the backdoor. Draco followed her.

Once they were safely outside, she turned on him. "Why are you here?" She asked, tears burning under her eyelids. "Don't tell me you were just in the neighborhood and stopped by because I know thats a lie. Why did you come back. You know-" She stopped suddenly. Draco's lips were on hers and he was kissing her passionately. She knew it was wrong, but it felt so right and she couldn't help but kiss him back. He pulled away, smiling, something only she'd ever seen him do.

"So you did miss me," he stated simply. Ginny let a tear fall down her cheek.

"I'm happy now, Draco," she whispered. "You can't just come in here and expect me to drop my life. You left me, remember? I was beneath you. Or don't you recall saying that." He looked at her with the eyes she had just begun to learn to read three years ago. The colors changed with every thought that ran through his head. Some days they were a cold gray. Those days she knew he was upset about something. Other days they were a light silver. She knew then that something good was going to happen, something she only saw when he was with her. Yet still other days his eyes were even a light, ice blue. Those were the days that scared her. Those days meant he'd had a visit with his father. It wasn't that that frightened her, it was that he usually liked those visits. He liked feeling powerful and he knew Voldemort could give him that power. That was what Ginny feared the most. Today, however, his eyes were a color she'd never seen before. They were a darker gray with flecks of navy in them. It gave her a chill not knowing what he was thinking.

He looked around a moment before answering her. "I remember," he said quietly. "You know I had to do it. Your family name; it just wasn't something my father agreed with."

"And all of a sudden he agrees? You come back? What's going on because you're sure not making much sense." She started rambling. "You just waltz in here and almost kill my husband, who by the way I love. Then you ask to talk to me and end up kissing me. What the fuck is going on, Draco." He looked into her eyes.

"I guess I just wanted to see what would happen," he said, shrugging. "I didn't come here to kiss you."

She flailed her arms and her voice raised an octave. "Then what did you come here for? What was the point in coming here?" She couldn't help it. She was drawn to him once again, and this time, she kissed him. Her hands found their way up his back and into his hair, which was no longer gelled. It was a little longer and surprisingly soft. She felt his hands at the hem of her shirt and she pulled away from him. She looked at him with wide eyes. "You need to leave." He smirked. "I'm serious. I'm not giving up the life I have to be your one night stand. Get out." He looked into her eyes.

"We've got to talk, Ginevra. Meet me at the manor and we'll go for lunch tomorrow." She started to shake her head. "I won't leave until you agree to go." She sighed. He was so manipulative, and she had to admit. They had some unfinished buisiness to attend to.

"Fine. What time?" He smirked.

"Whenever. Just make sure you come dressed for occasion. Remember, you're with a Malfoy." She glared at him.

"It's not a date, Draco. You're right. We need to talk, and that's all we're going to do." He smiled and nodded. Without another word, he Disapparated and left Ginny feeling very nervous. How could she go inside and face Harry knowing she'd just kissed Draco? Twice! She sighed and made her way inside, getting a glass of water and joining her husband in the family room.

Harry jumped up. He looked like he'd been extremely worried. "What'd he want?" Ginny shook her head.

"Nothing," she said quickly. She shifted her eyes to the ground and Harry looked at her curiously. Before he could ask, however, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," she said, running to answer the door. Ginny squealed when she opened the door.

"Hey, Gin," Bill said, ruffling his younger sister's hair. "Been awhile, hasn't it?" She laughed.

"You haven't even written in months! What's been going on?" She guided Bill and his fiance, Fleur Delacour, inside and showed them to the family room where Harry was once again training Makayla on her broom.

"Well, we were on vacation for a few months, celebrating a little." He smiled mischieviously.

"Why's that?" Ginny knew what was coming, but asked anyways. He looked over at Fleur and she gave him a small smile.

"Well, we haven't told anyone yet. We figured today would be a good day. Everyone is coming and we'll all be together," he trailed off.

"Come on Bill!" Ginny yelled. "Out with it!"

"We're married. We didn't have a ceremony; decided it was too much work. We just went and got married and we've been in the Caribbean since." He laughed as Ginny's mouth opened wider and she gave a loud shriek.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" She yelled.

"We wanted zis to be a surprize," Fleur spoke out. "It waz a decizion we made in just one minute." She smiled again. "There iz one more surprize, Ginny." She rubbed her stomach lovingly. Ginny's jaw dropped.

"You're not serious!" Bill laughed and nodded his head. "Oh lady! I'm going to be an aunt!" She started giggling and took Fleur by the hands and kept restating that she was going to be an aunt. Harry and Bill just shook their heads and let the two go crazy. The doorbell rang again and when Harry saw Ginny wasn't interested in getting it, he went and opened it. He rolled his eyes.

"Hullo, Professor." It was Professor McGonagall. He never saw why Ginny invited her, but he still respected her nonetheless. "Nice to see you again."

"Potter," she nodded her head. Harry invited her in and she scoffed. "Do you always let your child run free?" She held a small smile in her eyes, but Harry thought he might be imagining it.

Makayla was screaming with glee as her mum chased her around the house. Harry and Ginny had a houseful within the hour. All of Ginny's brothers were there. Fred and George brought their girlfriends. She'd never met them, but they seemed nice enough. Charlie had come, he'd still not been in a serious relationship and Molly was still hounding him. Ron and Hermione were there and had finally started dating. They'd seen what everyone else had for years just a few short weeks ago. Percy was there, but he left as soon as he'd given Makayla her present (a book full of spell backround for toddlers). He said he had work to do and he couldn't miss it. Molly and Arthur had been the first to arrive. A few people from school, Seamus Finnegan, Dean Thomas, and Neville Longbottom, who had been with Ginny through everything through the years, were there too.

Ginny and Harry watched with smiles as their daughter entertained everyone. The time seemed to fly by and the party never faltered. Everyone was having a blast when Ginny went to get the cake. Harry followed her into the kitchen and helped her light the candles. Makayla's cake had a broomstick, a cauldron, and a standard robe on it and it was all done in red and gold, Gryffindor colors. Harry kissed Ginny softly.

"She's really growing up, Gin," he whispered. Ginny smiled and nodded, then she lifted the cake and she and Harry walked into the family room, singing 'Happy Birthday' on the way. Makayla's eyes lit up and and squealed with delight, running over to her parents. Once they finished the song, Harry said, "Make a wish!" Makayla closed her eyes tight and when she was finished, she blew as hard as she could. She managed to blow a few candles out and Harry had to help her with the rest. Once they were all successfully out.

Ginny served everyone cake and ice-cream and then Makayla opened her presents. She got so many things Ginny would never have dreamed of getting her when she was this young. Fred and George gave her their delux bag of tricks and promised to show her how to use every one of them if she promised them one thing. To use them on her mother. Ron had gotten her a t-shirt for the Chudley Cannons, which Ginny wouldn't have minded if it wouldn't have said, "Chudley Cannons Kick Ass," on the back of it. She gasped and took it away from Makayla as soon as she'd opened it. Hermione had, with no surprise, bought her a book, but she also bought her a practice wand. She explained to her that she was only to use it in the presence of her mother. Charlie had given her miniature dragon statues that moved by themselves. Harry laughed when Makayla's face gave away that she was shocked. The dragons breathed actual fire! Bill hadn't really got her a present, but had given her her first bit of money. He'd given her five galleons! Molly and Arthur bought her a mix of candy and clothes.

By the time the party was over, the house was a mess, Ginny and Harry were exhausted, and Makayla couldn't keep her eyes open. Ginny chuckled and carried her daughter upstairs. She passed Harry in the hallway on the way back down.

"I hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna get to bed," he said, yawning. It was contagious and Ginny yawned too (btw I yawned when I wrote this sentence, if anyone else yawns while reading this, review and let me know).

"No, go to bed. I'll be up in a few minutes." He kissed her on the forehead and went into their room, which was right across and down one from Makayla's. Ginny made her way to the kitchen without falling down the stairs. She was going to clean tonight so she didn't have to the next day, but the mess seemed so overwhelming. She looked at the clock.

'12:30?' She thought in disbelief. The party had lasted almost nine hours! She shook her head and started back to the stairs, deciding to clean in the morning. A tap at the window stopped her. Turning around, she saw it was Osirus, the family owl. Harry still had Hedwig, but she was getting quite old and couldn't make long trips as fast as Osirus could. Ginny walked to the window and let him in, thinking nothing of it. She tried to return upstairs, but Osirus kept pecking at her arm. She turned back to him and noticed he had a letter tied to his foot. 'That's odd. I shouldn't be getting any mail. You were just out for a normal flight, not to deliver anything.' She took the note and opened it.

'How did he get my owl!' She thought, getting angry. Had he kidnapped her just to send her this letter? Or had Osirus flown to him for some reason. Damn him for coming back.
