The Long Day Is Over – Draco and Ginny
The next day Ginny received an official call from the owner of her theatre, asking her to direct a second company as soon as the extension was completed. Draco started spending more of his time in her apartment than his own. Her friends were surprised, but ecstatic, that her long lost love had found her. Draco did receive a hard time from them for living there for two years and never noticing her. They conveniently ignored the fact that she had never noticed him.
It wasn't long before Draco received his own rather significant promotion within the advertising firm. His friends were surprised that he knew a girl, much less lived above one that was madly in love with him for two years. They tried to steal her from him. They didn't succeed.
A year later, Draco and Ginny were married and they simply moved his things downstairs. Why? Because down is easier than up and so many people volunteered to help that just using magic was out of the question. It made for a very fun day.
They never really knew what happened to their families. Occasionally, when their children asked why they didn't have grandparents or cousins like the other kids a sense of nostalgia and curiosity would wash over them, but it never lasted long. They had built new lives for themselves. They had become new people. The days of Diagon Alley and Hogwart's were nothing but a dream.
It was a little harder on Ginny. When she would see her children playing with each other she would miss her brothers. When she held her daughter she would miss her mother. It was a soft melancholy, though, a sweet nostalgia. She never once regretted her decision to leave.
The long day had ended and they were together.
