My Parent's Mistake
Chapter 11
'Good Evening Aubrey.' Harry said as she looked at him.
The colour in Aubrey's face slowly became paler and paler when she realised that her Uncle knew. Ginny came out looking sheepish, she looked between her Husband and God-daughter and sighed.
'Let's take this into the living room Harry, you'll wake the kids.' Ginny said as she pulled him away from the hallway.
'Aubrey, living room, now.' He said practically growling.
Aubrey slipped off her nude heels and put her tanned bag on the table in the hallway then followed her Godparents into the living room. As she walked into the living room she saw Ginny sat in the arm chair where Harry usually sat and Harry stood by the fireplace.
Aubrey took a seat on the sofa and looked up at Harry expecting him to start shouting; he had quite a temper on him.
'You went out with Draco Malfoy.' He said calmly, too calmly for Ginny and Aubrey liking.
'I did.' She answered.
'How old is Draco Malfoy Aubrey? Please tell me.' He said sarcastically.
'He's the same age as you and Uncle Ron. He's 35.' She said 'Just' she added after which made Ginny smile.
Harry slowly turned away from his wife and took a deep breath. He then turned and looked at her.
'I am so disappointed in you Aubrey Granger. How dare you lie to me, make my wife lie to me to go out with that...with that fucking Death Eater!' Harry shouted which made both Ginny and Aubrey jump. 'He's no good for you, no good for anyone! He's evil. He's only using you.'
'It was one date! I didn't make Auntie Ginny lie for me.' She said looking at Ginny. 'I knew if I told you, you would stop me from going. I wanted too, I like him. Yes, I like him. I actually had a great time and for the first time in a year I laughed. I had fun and I will continue to do so.' She said as she stood up.
'He's too old for you!' Harry shouted.
'Did you say that to my mum too? My mum and Dad had more of an age gap than me and Draco do.' She said trying to reason with him.
'Did they work? Did you have a Dad growing up? Why do you think it didn't work Aubrey? There was too much of a gap.' He sneered.
'Shut up!' she shouted. 'You know nothing! My Dad loved my Mum even if they weren't together I know they were meant to be. Don't you dare say anything about my parents, you have no right!' she screamed at him her face turned red with anger.
'And what would your father say about this? I bet he'd love the thought of his Daughter with his Godson! He'd die at the thought! He knows what a womaniser Draco is. He using women for sex! That's all you'd be to him, another girl to use for sex! An underage girl might I add.' Harry shouted.
'I don't give a daym what you think.' She sneered.
'Aubrey! Harry! Stop it!' Ginny said as she stood up.
'I'm going to my Dad's.' Aubrey said as she stepped into the floo and disappeared leaving Ginny and Harry staring at each other.
'Happy now?' Ginny said as she walked off upset leaving Harry alone in anger.
Aubrey arrived in her father's floo to find him sat with Draco. She stepped out of the floo and wiped her eyes and looked at her father.
'I see you God-father didn't take the news well.' Severus said in a deep voice which made her shiver.
'No.' she said softly.
Draco looked up at Aubrey wanting to go to her and hold her, comfort her somehow but he knew if he moved Severus would kill him. After Draco had dropped Aubrey off, he decided to go see Severus and explain. Draco knew that Aubrey was something special and if he wanted to make a go of it he needed to speak with her father.
When Draco came to Severus he was nervous about his God-father's reaction but after sitting down with him and explaining Severus calmly told him that if he hurt his daughter he would be dead before he could say Harry Potter.
Severus truthfully wasn't too happy that his daughter was dating a man old enough to be her father or mother but who was he to talk. He knew he could never stop it as he would then be a hypocrite.
'I take it you wish to stay here tonight?' Severus asked.
'Please.' She said softly.
'You know you are welcome here anytime Aubrey; this is your home as well as Grimmauld.' He said as he stood up. 'Was Potter angry?'
'I don't think angry cut it. He was fuming. He...he thinks I'm being used.' She said as tears welled up in her eyes.
'Well from the sounds of what Draco has said, his intentions are honourable.' Severus said as he pulled his daughter to him. 'Aren't they Draco?'
'Of course.' Draco said as he stood up.
'He said some horrible things.' Aubrey said as she looked down. 'He said stuff about Mum and you.'
'I will be having words with Potter tomorrow. He has you in such a state. I will go and get you something to wear to bed while you say goodnight again to Draco' Severus said. 'Draco, my office tomorrow morning.'
'Yes Uncle Severus.' He said. 'Goodnight.'
'Goodnight Draco, thank you for coming to me.' He said as he walked into his bedroom.
Aubrey turned to Draco embarrassed and sighed. 'I didn't know you were coming here tonight.' She said.
'I wanted to do things right. After I left you I thought I better come here. If we had kept this a secret and it turned into more in the long run it would have been worst.' Draco said as he moved towards Aubrey. 'He understood and I made a vow.'
'A vow?' she said with wide eyes. 'What did you promise Draco? Oh god! You shouldn't have taken it.'
'I vowed that we wouldn't take this further until you were legally allowed to.' He said smiling.
'Oh my god! My dad made you make a vow on that!' she cringed.
'Don't worry about it.' He said as he placed a kiss on her head. 'Are you okay?'
'I'm fine. Just a little shaken up. I've never seen him like that before.' She replied.
'Do you want me to speak with him?' he asked.
'Draco, I don't think that would be a very good idea. Let's just keep out his way and he'll cool down.' She said smiling.
'If your sure.' He said. 'I better go, got an early start.'
'My father?' she asked.
'I'm doing some work here tomorrow, might be able to sneak you away for a while.' He said as he leaned in.
'Goodnight Draco.' Severus voice said as he stood in the doorway.
'Yes Goodnight Draco.' She said trying not to laugh.
'Goodnight.' He said as he stepped into the floo.
Aubrey made her way to her father as he held up some shorts and t-shirt.
'Best I can do.' He said.
'It's fine.' She said. 'Are you truthfully okay about Draco?'
'Truthfully I wish you didn't date, ever. I also wish if you were that it was a little closer to your age but you are your mother's daughter.' He said smirking.
'Grandma Granger was fifteen years younger than Grandpa.' She replied. 'It runs in the family.'
'I know.' He said as he brushed her hair out of the way. 'Don't make our mistakes Aubrey.'
'I won't.' She said. 'You never made a mistake, you make me.' She said as she walked off into her bedroom leaving Severus to think.
