"Where are they?" Ginny asked checking her watch.
"Jade had to look over her organization today and Draco said he'd wait for her until she would come back. Isn't that sweet?" Hermione asked as Ron walked by with their 5 month old son, Dillon in his arms.
"Am I lacking somewhere?" Ron asked.
Hermione turned around and laughed. "Ron! I wasn't comparing you to Draco. I was just complimenting him." Hermione said seeing him nod in relief.
"Just checking." He said walking off.
Ginny watched Harry, Fred and George teach Alcaeus how to ride a broom, taking extra precautions so he wouldn't get hurt. The doorbell rang and Ginny went off to receive it. She opened it to see Jade and Draco standing there, glowing.
"Finally! What took you two so long?" Ginny asked.
There was a second where the two looked at each other and blushed but they recovered. "I wasn't finished with my makeup." Draco joked.
Ginny burst into laughter and welcomed them in. "Well you look gorgeous anyways Malfoy. Come, everyone's in the backyard. Herm! Ron! Arses in the backyard!" Ginny said jerking her thumb outside.
Hermione got up and greeted Jade and Draco with a kiss. "We thought you both forgot or something." Hermione said as they walked outside.
Jade and Draco greeted Molly and Arthur Weasley and presented them a wine bottle, thanking them for having them. They then were introduced to the rest of the Weasley's and their family. Jade sat with the girls as Draco walked off with the men, going to play a game of Quidditch.
"So what do you do Jade?" Jennifer, Charlie's wife asked.
"Well I'm an art teacher in a primary school for wizards before they're admitted to Hogwarts, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons or the other schools in England or around the world." Jade said.
"She also has an organization that she runs with a friend for children with diseases and disabilities." Hermione added as the Weasley women nodded.
"Were you with Draco Malfoy since Hogwarts?" Angelina asked.
"Oh, no, I haven't. We never knew each other in Hogwarts, but I was properly acquainted to him just a few months ago, when I had to replace a friend of mine, who was supposed to tutor his son." Jade said.
"Yez, I heard hiz wife died after giving birth to hiz son?" Fleur asked and Jade nodded.
"Yes, unfortunately, she did." Jade said. There was an uncomfortable silence and Ginny decided to break it.
"Well there's food on the table and the men are going to have a match now. This should be fun." Ginny said. Jade got up with the rest of the women and grabbed a few snacks and sat down to watch the men play Quidditch. Alcaeus trotted towards Jade and sat next to her, leaning his head on her shoulder.
"Sleepy?" Jade asked seeing him nod. "You have to eat something love." Jade said handing him a plate of food. Alcaeus picked up a drumstick and watched his father, play against this Uncle Harry. It was a quick game that ended with Harry catching the Snitch.
"You know, it's hard to find the snitch if you keep hitting me whenever Potter spotted the snitch." Draco said to Ron who grinned sheepishly.
"Did you know how many times Ron hit me while trying to hit you?" Harry asked. The men laughed and grabbed something to eat. Draco sat down, next to Jade who stroked a sleeping Alcaeus's head.
"You played well." Jade said. Draco kissed her and thanked her. Dinner was handed out and everyone sat and conversed while they ate.
"I can't tell you how scared I am about having another child. Three kids and a marriage? I'm lucky I even found a woman!" Ron said. Jade giggled next to Draco as the Weasley men started to make fun of him.
"Not even that, you married a woman way out of your league." Fred said.
"Oh don't say that, Ron deserves Hermione in every possible way and vice versa." Jennifer said.
"Well I'm just saying, somehow, Ron did manage to score a wonderful wife, so hats off to him." Fred said.
"Well I'd like to tell you that I think I managed to score a wonderful wife as well." Harry said. Everyone turned around to Harry, who clutched on to Ginny's hand.
"You're already married? Sucks for Ginny." George said.
"Shut up!" Ginny said.
"I meant…I would…I think I did…manage myself…I…Ginny, will you marry me?" Harry asked on his knee. Ginny, just like everyone else was dumbfounded and touched. She nodded, speechless from the sudden shock. Jade laughed and clapped seeing Ginny get engaged to the Boy Who Loved Her. Talks about the wedding had been on full force, but Draco and Jade couldn't stay to hear it all.
"Alcaeus has school tomorrow so we won't be able to stay. Congratulations to the both of you. I'll owl, or you both can just come over." Jade said.
"It was so nice having you both over." Molly said kissing Jade's cheek.
"Thank you for having us over." Draco said shaking everyone's hands. "It's not a problem at all. Goodbye!" Molly said as they all waved goodbye to them.
When Jade and Draco left, Fred sighed. "Who knew Malfoy would be so cool?"
Draco, Jade and Alcaeus apparated to the Malfoy Manor. Alcaeus walked off to get ready for bed as Draco held Jade's hand and walked up the stairs. "You're staying tonight right?" Draco asked seeing Jade grinned.
"You'll probably kill me if I don't." Jade said. Draco picked her up and walked towards his bedroom and placed her on his bed.
"I won't kill you. I can't stop you if you don't want to stay." Draco said placing himself gently on top of her.
"Ah you care?" Jade asked seeing him look offended.
"That's not right." Draco said. Jade laughed and tried to make it up to him by placing small kisses around his neck. "Why are you trying to make it up to me?" Draco asked rolling on to his back. Jade placed herself on him and touched his face.
"Because I care." Jade answered, unbuttoning his shirt.
"You care that much?" Draco asked.
Jade shook her head and watched Draco raise an eyebrow at her. He narrowed his eyes at her playfully and placed his head back on the pillow, watching the ceiling.
"I love you that much." Jade said.
He snapped his head back at her and he stared at her, hoping that she wasn't joking.
"It might sound stupid to you but that's just how I feel about you Draco. It might seem early, but you haven't given me a reason not to love you. I might not exactly know the meaning of love, but I do know what it means for me Draco and it's you. This might be the sappiest, corniest and most ridiculous thing you have ever heard but it means the world to me." Jade said.
Draco was dumbfounded and caught off guard with how she poured her heart out to him. He didn't know how to respond to her, but only stared. From his silence, and the semi-terror in his eyes put Jade in an incredibly embarrassing moment. Great. Here she was, pouring her heart out to the man and he was there, wondering what kind of psycho he had gotten himself tangled up in. There was a knock on the door and Jade sat up, away from Draco.
The door opened and Alcaeus stood there, asking when they were seeing him off to bed. Jade got up along with Draco and they tucked the child in.
"Goodnight Alcaeus." Jade whispered.
"Goodnight son." Draco said. Draco shut the door and turned to Jade. It was kind of an awkward situation. He didn't know what to say to her and how to ease this painful patch that they were walking through.
"Wow I am tired. I have to wake up early in the morning. Come quickly love." Jade said kissing him quickly. She disappeared into the bedroom, leaving Draco out in the hallway. Draco soon entered the bedroom and saw her already in bed, her eyes closed.
The next day was a long and extremely tiring day for Jade. She organized a day trip for the children in her organization and took them to the muggle zoo to see animals. She ran around under the hot sun and after the kids were taken away, Jade had to attend an art competition held in her school. Jade was finally at home. She took a shower and crashed on to her bed, feeling all the sore muscles on her back and arms.
"Long day?" a voice asked. Jade shook from the sudden surprise and looked up to see Draco stand near her bedroom door, crossing his arms.
"Goodness Draco, don't scare me like that again." Jade said burying her face into the pillows.
"I'm sorry." Draco said. He removed his shoes and cloak and tossed them aside. He loosened his tie and rolled his sleeves up. Jade felt Draco's strong hands gently massage her back, causing her to moan from the best feeling in the world.
"Oh you have no idea how good that feels." Jade said closing her eyes, trying to get the best of the massage. His thumbs worked in tiny circles down her back and he grinned hearing the positive response from her.
"What do I get for this?" Draco asked near her ear.
"You'll find out, for now, keep me happy." Jade said.
"So how was your day?" Draco asked pressing gently in the middle of her back. He heard tiny pops and concentrated on her lower back.
"I've never been this tired in my life. Running back and forth like a madwoman. How was yours?" Jade asked.
"I guess it's been well. I have a surprise for you though." Draco said.
"Surprise? What is it?" Jade asked.
"It's a surprise." Draco said.
Jade turned around and sat up in front of Draco. "Can I get a hint?" Jade asked.
"You're impatient." Draco said.
Jade slapped his arm and pulled him down. "Well you're not telling me anything about it. I should be naturally curious." Jade said unzipping his pants.
"What are you doing?" Draco asked. Jade looked up and smirked.
"I have manners Mr. Malfoy. I've been taught to say thank you after someone does something nice to me." Jade said pulling his pants off.
For the rest of the evening, Draco and Jade stood in bed, talking absentmindedly about things.
"You're still coming to the Quidditch World Cup right?" Draco asked as Jade nodded.
"I took a day off for the occasion and plus, I don't know anyone who isn't going." Jade said.
"It'll be a memorable World Cup." Draco said.
"Why is that?" Jade asked.
"It's a surprise." Draco said cheekily.
Jade shook her head at him disapprovingly and poked him, asking him what it was. "Are you going to embarrass me in front of millions?" Jade asked.
"Something like that." Draco said.
"Please tell me." Jade said.
"Then thank me again. I love your thank you's." Draco said seeing Jade laugh.
"How can I thank you when you couldn't tell me what the surprise was?" Jade asked.
"That's not going to work love." Draco said.
Jade stuck her tongue out at him and rolled off of bed to cook dinner.
