Draco and Pansy went to Hogwarts that morning and talked to Professor McGonagall about going into hiding. Professor McGonagall led them through the familiar corridors and into Dumbledore's office. "Fizzing Whisbies." She uttered.
The gargoyles swung open and the three of them entered the stairwell. "I fear the time is growing close Minerva." Dumbledore said a while later. "What do you know?" She asked. "Ginny. She is growing restless as are the babies." Dumbledore said in frustration. Draco looked from him to Pansy and to Minerva.
"What are you thinking Sir?" Draco asked.
"Well, since you and Mrs. Parkinson are planning on going into hiding, I think it would be a great help to Harry and Ginny if you would take the babies and watch over them while Harry defeat's the Dark Lord." Dumbledore said. Draco stared at him.
"You mean, watch them as our own?" he asked in disbelief. Dumbledore nodded in agreement. "Yes, you see, Voldermort will know when Ginny gives birth, I am afraid he will go after the babies immediately killing them off first." Draco nodded in understanding. "Yes that does seem like something Voldemort would do." Draco said. "But Sir, I don't know if I would be able to handle watching them. I mean they are Potter's children." Draco's familiar Slytherin voice came out.
Dumbledore nodded. "It will be a challenge, yes, but it will keep the children safe. I will summon them over and discuss this with Harry and Ginny." Dumbledore said.
"You will be protected. I will make sure of that. It is just a matter of disguising your identities and making you look like the happy couple who just had twins.
Voldermort will never know. We have to keep this quiet.
Tell no one. Not even your mother, Draco." Dumbledore said.
Draco squeezed Pansy's hand. She had stayed awfully quiet this whole time. Together they bid Professor Dumbledore and Headmistress McGonagall goodbye and went home. They held each other and cried for a little while. "How are we ever going to get through this?" Pansy asked her voice cracking.
Draco shook his head. "I don't know, but Dumbledore wouldn't put us in harm's way I know it. We can be happy. We can be a family finally." Draco said smiling. Pansy looked at him. "Let's get married. Right now." Draco smiled and looked surprised, but happy about her suggestion.
"Okay." he said.
Together they went into Diagon Alley and purchased a very elegant diamond ring make of a platinum band with a one carat in the middle and two quarter carats surrounding it of perfect clarity as well as two platinum wedding bands. "Mr. Malfoy, is this all you will be purchasing today?" the cashier asked.
Draco nodded curtly. They then went and purchased a simple and elegant wedding dress that fit Pansy beautifully. The dress fitted and formed to her waist.
A hundred soft pearls lined her back all the way down to the train. Draco smiled at how beautiful she looked. "You are mine forever." He said. Pansy smiled at him. A part of her still felt guilty about what happened with Lucius, but she pushed that thought in the back of her mind and kissed Draco softly.
"We just need some witnesses." Draco said thinking hard.
"Might as well get it over with and go ask Potter, I mean Harry and Ginny." He said correcting himself. Pansy smiled. "You know I never really understood why I had to not like her, that Ginny is rather sweet." Pansy said to Draco. Draco nodded in agreement. He kissed her goodbye.
"I'll be back as soon as I have Harry with me." he said. She waved and decided to go back to the great hall and wander for a little bit.
Draco apparated to Grimmauld Place. Harry and Ginny were at the table talking. Draco knocked politely on the door. "Come in." Harry said smiling.
His bright green eyes were shining playfully. Draco smiled. "Hello Harry, Ginny." He said nodding to them. "Draco, what brings you here?" Harry asked giving him a seat. "You look absolutely fabulous why are you so dressed up?" Ginny asked.
"Well that was why I came here actually, you see, it's kind of a spur of the moment type thing, and well, Pansy and I, see we decided to get married right away because we love each other that much and well. I was wondering if you two would bother being our witnesses." Draco said. Harry stared at him.
"Are you for real?" He asked. Draco laughed.
"Potter, why would I lie about something like this?" Harry nodded. He looked over at Ginny. "Well what do you think babe, are you feeling up to going?" Harry asked her.
She nodded happily. "I've been absolutely dying to get out of this house for some time now silly. Just give me a minute to change into something more flattering." She said. Harry and Draco nodded in understanding. "Me too." Harry said. "I'll just wait down here for you guys." Draco said smiling.
Things were finally looking his way.
He was marrying the girl he loved, and Harry and Ginny were finally warming up to him. He sighed happily to himself glancing at the elaborate platinum ring in his pocket.
A few minutes later, Harry came down first wearing a pair of nice black pants and a white silk shirt accompanied by a black jacket. "Not bad Harry." Draco said clamping him on the back.
"I really wanted to thank you for doing this for us. You don't know how much it means that you will be our witnesses. It's only going to be us four." Draco said. Harry nodded. "Your mother isn't even coming?" He asked. Draco shook his head.
"Dumbledore gave me strict or orders not to say anything to anybody but you and Ginny. He has other matters he wants to discuss with you both." Draco said.
When he finished the boys looked up to see Ginny walking down with her hair curled in beautiful ringlets and she was wearing a beautiful blue sundress that Molly had made for her. "Gin you look beautiful." Harry said kissing her. "Why thank you Mr. Potter, and you two don't look so bad yourselves." She complimented their masculine physique.
Harry smiled.
"Are we ready?" Draco asked.
"I think so." Ginny said feeling her stomach.
"How are your babies?" Draco asked as he watched her.
She shifted her feet. "They are fine, really active lately, they want to come out just like I want to be skinny again." She said annoyed. They apparated back to Hogwarts to find the priest already in position. Harry and Draco met Pansy closely followed by Ginny. Pansy went up to Ginny first.
"Ginny, I really appreciate you doing this for Draco and I. It means so much." She said holding her hands and kissing her on the cheek. Ginny smiled. "It's no trouble really." Ginny replied sweetly.
She and Harry stood next to Draco and Pansy as the priest conducted the ceremony. It was like Bill and Fleur's wedding only more quiet and more intimate. Draco stared at Pansy's beautiful eyes and she did the same. She started to cry first once he read the scripture.
"Pansy, do you take Draco to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked.
Ginny and Harry locked eyes as she said
"I do."
"Draco, do you take Pansy Parkinson to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" The Priest asked the same question to Draco.
"I do."
Draco said gently while sliding the ring onto her finger. "I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may Kiss your bride." the Priest said.
Draco kissed Pansy with tenderness and love. She wrapped her arms around him and he wrapped his arm's around her.
They were married. Draco and Pansy Malfoy. However, they will not be Draco and Pansy Malfoy much longer. As of tonight they will have separate identities filled with new lives of hiding and fear until the Dark Lord is vanquished.
They proceeded to Dumbledore's office where Headmistress McGonagall still stood talking to him. They looked as though they were deep in conversation. Talking of times of the past that Harry and Draco were both interrupting, but that look on Minerva's face quickly vanished as she saw Draco and everyone else in their wedding attire.
"Congratulations." She said smiling at the two.
Draco and Pansy smiled at each other then back at her and thanked her. "Has the ceremony been fully completed?" Minerva asked. Pansy nodded.
"Now we need to find a place for you to stay as new identities.
The Headmaster and I were talking, and we think you should be teachers here at Hogwarts. The safest place for a wizard in hiding is where they feel most at home." Minerva said.
Harry and Ginny watched quietly. Ginny felt a sudden pain in her back. She placed her hand over the place that ached and staggered back a little. "Love are you okay?" Harry asked her. Everyone turned around to look at her. Ginny's face had flushed a little bit and she looked as thought she was in more pain. "Harry, I think it's time!" She said in a shaky voice. Harry's face paled.
He looked over at Minerva and Professor Dumbledore.
"Oh Lord." Minerva said running towards her and pushing a chair near her so she can sit down. "Pansy go warn Madam Pomfrey. Draco, you and Harry help me carry her to the Hospital Wing." Minerva said in an urgent voice. She turned back one last time to look at Dumbledore who gave her a worried nod. They took Ginny immediately to the Hospital wing where Molly and Arthur were summoned.
The entire Weasley family and Hermione were there in a manner of minutes.
Harry was the only one allowed to be in the room at the time she was giving birth.
It was a long night. She was tired. Sweat was pouring down her forehead.
"Harry, I don't now if I can do this!" She cried holding onto his hand as Madam Pomfrey told her to push hard. Harry didn't know what to say so he didn't say anything, but held onto her as she screamed in pain. A few minutes later Madam Pomfrey smiled and said
"Come On Ginny you can do it. I See the head!" Ginny was getting weak. She pushed hard. Then they heard it. Harry and Ginny heard the cries of their first baby.
"It's a girl." Madam Pomfrey said happily cutting the umbilical cord. She wrapped the baby in a pink blanket and handed her to Ginny. Harry smiled in amazement. This was his daughter. He thought to himself.
"Hello Chloe." Ginny said. Harry smiled.
"Chloe."Harry repeated gently smiling wide.
A few seconds later Madam Pomfrey handed Chloe to Harry and got Ginny ready to push again. Another few minutes went by and Aiden was born. Ginny was exhausted, but her and Harry were both completely thrilled to see their identical twin babies - Chloe and Aiden Potter.
They both had messy black hair just like Harry, but each baby's eyes were mixed one green and one brown. "They are beautiful." Harry said holding Chloe while Ginny held Aiden. Harry showed off the twins to the family. They were praised. Molly began to cry as did Hermione. Ron smiled.
Lizzie looked at the babies with much interest. Lizzie then started to get flustured and Hermione and Rondecided to take her home for the night.
The twins praised Harry for doing such a brilliant job with the birthing. After about an hour of laughing and cooing the babies, the family went home. Ginny and Harry decided to stay at Hogwarts for Ginny was weak and exhausted from delivering two babies in one night.
Madam Pomfrey gave her a sleeping draught as she tended to the twins. Minerva went to inform Dumbledore of the twin's birth. Dumbledore smiled and sighed tiredly. "I'm getting to old for this Minerva." He said jokingly. "You're dead." "I know but I still feel alive when I talk about Harry." Dumbledore said lovingly. "How do you think they are going to take our suggestion of the twins?" Minerva asked. Dumbledore looked at her with concern written all over his face.
