Chapter 13
Abbey almost completely forgot about Draco and the Malfoys during the time that she spent at The Burrow.
Abbey learned from Ron's father Arthur Weasley that Draco had begun working at the Ministry of Magic with Lucius. Abbey herself got a job at a nearby magical creature hospital, where Hagrid often brought his animals. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all got jobs as well.
When they had days off, Abbey, Harry, Ron, and Hermione spent most of their time at The Burrow. Ron and Harry often played around on their brooms, while Hermione and Abbey usually walked around the grounds, talking and picking flowers. Abbey and Hermione often helped Molly Weasley, Ron's mother, with the cooking and cleaning.
And that's how it went for two and a half months. Abbey barely gave Draco any thought, although she was often reminded of him when she would accidentally glance down at her wedding ring.
One night they were all finishing up dinner when there was suddenly loud knocking on the front door.
"Oh no…" Abbey moaned, already having a good guess as to who it was.
"I'll get it," Harry said, getting up from the table. Abbey was about to protest and say that she would get it, but by that time Harry was already to the door.
Harry opened the door, and his welcoming smile faded when he saw that it was Draco.
"Where's Abbey, Potter?" Draco spat, gazing over Harry's shoulder and into the kitchen.
"She's busy right now," Harry replied coolly, stepping outside and shutting the door behind him, "May I help you with something?"
"I want to see her, now," Draco said.
"I told you she's busy," Harry replied, glaring at Draco.
"She's my wife, and I think I have at least the right to talk to her," Draco growled.
"Fine," Harry barked, turning around and going inside, slamming the door in Draco's face. Just as he slammed the door a bolt of lightning flashed and thunder rumbled across the sky.
A few moments later the door swung open again and Abbey stepped out, looking irritated.
"What do you want, Draco?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Now that Harry was gone, some of the anger receded from Draco's face.
"Listen, Abbey, you have to come home," he said.
"Why?" she snapped.
"Because my father is getting furious!"
"So? I already told you, I'm not afraid of him."
"If you don't come home now, he's going to come get you himself, and you don't want that, trust me."
"He can't do anything to me."
"Maybe not, but he can do something to your little friends." This comment caught Abbey and the fierceness in her eyes faltered. Draco was right…she was putting everyone at The Burrow in danger.
A horrible image of The Burrow on fire popped into her mind, and she could even hear the screams and see the family fleeing from the home. They wouldn't have anywhere to go…
"Alright, I'll come home," she sighed, giving in, "Just let me pack."
By now it had begun to rain, and the lighting and thunder was becoming more frequent and intense.
Abbey left Draco outside in the rain and went upstairs to pack her things. While she was doing this, Molly Weasley came in.
"Are you leaving so soon, dear?" she asked, wiping her hands on her apron.
"I'm afraid so, Mrs. Weasley," Abbey replied sadly. Just then thunder cracked, and it was so loud it rattled the windows.
"You're not going anywhere in this weather," Molly said, "Go get Draco from outside and you two can leave in the morning."
Draco in The Burrow? Interesting...hee hee! Hope you liked it!
