"I thought- I thought you had changed." Ginny started to cry, "I was stupid though. A Malfoy would never change." She said and ran out the door.

"Gin! Wait! I didn't mean it like that." Draco started to go after her.

"You've done enough Malfoy. Leave her alone." Harry said as he held him back.

"That's my daughter!"

"And you said you didn't want her." Surprisingly calm.

"No. I didn't mean that!"

"Well you said it."

"Look this is kind of a surprise for me. And it's kinda big, cut me some slack!"

"Do you think it was easy for me when i found out? Not only was she pregnant. No, she didn't even know if it was mine."

"What did you do?"

"I told her i needed to think about it. I didn't tell her i didn't want anything to do with it."

"Yeah well sometime people say things they don't mean!"

"Well you can't with her. She takes anything you say to heart. But you should talk to her i guess. I mean it is your daughter..."

"Potter. I'm not going to ask her to start a family."

"You- you're not?"

"No. Come on. I wouldn't marry someone that didn't love me for a a child. That whole 'stay together for the kids' is bull shit! It wouldn't' work it wouldn't be happy. You two would make her life perfect. I just want her to know who her dad is so i could visit her."

"OK." Harry said feeling a lot better. "Lets go find her."

"OK. Uh.. where would she be."

"She probably went home."

"OK." He apperated quickly to Harry and Ginny's.


Harry waited half an hour before apperating home himself. When he got there they had been waiting for him, a pot of tea between them. Draco was holding the young child.

"Harry. We had just been going over names." Ginny said when she so him.

"Oh? What have you thought of?"

"Elizabeth, Brandi, Carrie, Nicole, Holly and Daphne."

"I like Brandi." Harry said.

"So did I," Ginny said, "but Draco didn't."

"I just think Brandi goes better with a dark haired girl. I jus can't see myself calling her Brandi."

"I guess..." Harry said.

"OK. Well how about Holly then? That suits a blonde haired girl doesn't it?"

"Yeah. Sure." Harry said.

"I guess so." Draco said.

"OK, Holly it is then." She said.

"Well i should probably get going then. I'll see you later?" Draco said, handing Holly to Ginny.

"For sure." Ginny said, "Bye."

After he left Ginny turned around and saw Harry staring at Holly.

"Harry?"

"Hmm?"

"You look upset."

"It's nothing..." He said smiling at her, "Don't worry about it."

"Harry, tell me."

"I dunno... I guess I was just wondering what you and Malfoy were talking about before i came." He said tearing his eyes away from her.

"He apologized for what he said. He said that it surprised him. And then we talked about names until you came home. Why?"

"No reason, just a bit curious i guess."

"Harry, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"It's not nothing. I can tell. You have that look that makes you seem like you're a billion miles away. And then you ask me about what Malfoy and I were talking about. You're not a curious person anymore Harry. Please just tell me what's wrong."

"It's-" He paused and thought for a minute, " It's the way he talked about you before he came here."

"What do you mean?"

"I dunno... he said 'I wouldn't marry someone that didn't love me.'"

"What are you getting at Harry?"

"He didn't say he wouldn't marry someone he didn't love. He said he wouldn't marry someone who didn't love him."

"Don't worry about it Harry."

"But Gin. He basically said he loved you."

"How?"

"Well he didn't say anything about not loving you!"

"You're reading to much into this."

"No I'm-"

"Harry. It doesn't matter if he loves me or not anyways. I love you. I don't love him. However, since this child is his, we have no right to keep her away from him. He will need to be part of our lives from now on."

"Fuck.." He breathed.

"What's that?"

"Nothing." He said quickly.

"I'm sure."

"Come on. We need to register her."

"Right." He said. "Wait... Don't we need the father?"

"I dont' think so... I mean she's registered just... nameless."

"OK. Then lets go."

"Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to do this?"

"Do what?"

"Be with me. Raise Holly with me."

"Of course. What mad you think i didn't?"

"Well you've seemed kinda upset since she was born."

"No i'm not i'm just... worried."

"Worried? Why?"

"Well have you told your parents yet?"

"No. But-"

"Have you told Malfoy's Mum yet?"

"Well no..."

"What about my parents? Look, they won't hold this against you, but, i'm not going to lie to you Gin, i don't think they'll be to happy about it all."

Ginny opened and closed her mouth a couple times before speaking. "Can't we just take this one step at a time? Lets just go to St. Mungo's tell them her name and then we'll come back and talk about this."

"OK. As long as you promise we will talk about it."

"OK OK. I will when we get home. Now lets go." Ginny said.

"K."

Harry and Ginny went to St. Mungo's with Holly and didn't come home for 6 hours. When they finally got home both were exhausted and Holly was asleep in Harry's arms.

"I didn't think it would take that long just for them to write down a name." Harry said.

"I know. Well i'm going to go put her to bed then?"

"Sure. I set it all up in Maddie's old room."

"Ok."

Harry sat on the couch while he waited for Ginny. He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened them again Ginny was quietly heading towards their room.

"Where are you going?"

"Well i didn't want to wake you so i thought I'd just go to bed."

"Gin we need to talk."

"Come on Harry. Can't it wait? I'm tired. Lets just talk about it tomorrow."

"No. You promised tonight."

"But-"

"No. I thought we could invite you're mum and dad over tomorrow night for dinner." He noticed her eyes widen.

"No no no..."

"What's wrong with that? You have to tell them sometime and why put it off."

"Well i just thought we could- uh- not tell them..."

"You're not serious!" He said surprised. "Oh my god you are... Gin they're going to notice something."

"How she looks just like-"

"Malfoy! That's who she looks like! She's identical to him! You're parents are going to notice if she doesn't have red or black hair."

"Well maybe somebody earlier in one of our generations had blonde hair?"

Harry's raised an eyebrow towards her. "Come on Gin."

"Fine. It's just- I kinda already said it was ours..."

"Well don't you think that they would have assumed that?"

"Well yeah but-"

"No. Listen to me Gin. You have to tell them. What do you think they're going to say when Malfoy's over more often? You don't have a choice. I'm sorry to say this, but you got yourself into this you need to take responsibility."

"So it's my fault then?"

"Well sort of. Look i know you were upset but did you have to go sleep with some guy? No not some guy- my enemy!"

"Come on Harry! I said i was sorry! We've gone over this time and time again! What else can i do to prove he means nothing to me!"

"That's what irritates me!"

"What?"

"He meant nothing to you! What about me Gin? Do I mean nothing?"

"Of course not! You mean everything to me! Look, I was drunk, i was upset and he was there. Why do you have to make an argument out of everything!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to be an argument. I guess i'm just worried that he's going to want to be with you know that you've had a kid together."

"He already said he wasn't going to. He doesn't love me, I don't love him. I love you Harry, nobody else. Can we just drop this and raise Holly together?"

"Of course, I'm sorry i won't bring it up again. I trust you completely."

"Good." She said and kissed him.

Soon he deepened the kiss and started to lead her towards their room.
