954. Honey I'm Home
"I'm home," Ginny called walking into the house her and Harry shared. After the war, Harry had rebuilt his parents old house in Godric's Hollow. The house seemed empty, which was normal, since Harry worked some crazy hours.
Ginny made herself a cup of coffee and sat down at the kitchen table. Draco Malfoy had made the front page of the paper again. This time for a good reason. He had started a charity for the orphans of war. Harry claimed it was all front for some Death Eater activity. Harry couldn't put the past behind him where Draco was concerned.
"Ginny? Honey, I'm home!" Harry's voice called from the doorway. Ginny smiled rising to greet her husband. He kissed her and glanced at the paper.
"I wish they'd lock him away already."
"He hasn't done anything Harry. You know that."
"No, I just can't prove he's done something. Once I get enough evidence he'll be behind bars, I promise you that, Ginny." Ginny nodded wondering how Harry would feel if he knew she'd donated to Draco's charity. How he would feel if he knew this obsession with Draco was making her more and more annoyed.
"Maybe he really has turned over a new leaf?" she dared to suggest. Harry glared at her.
"People like that don't change, Ginny. They just don't. I'll find it, and when I do, you'll all see." Ginny watched Harry retreat into his office. She knew he had a file on Draco, it was full of insane theories, each one more circumstantial than the last. She wondered what Draco would make of it.
ONE MONTH LATER
"Honey, I'm home," Harry called walking in the front door. The lights were off, which was unusual. Had he beat Ginny home this time? He walked over the kitchen table. The paper sat there, as usual. Draco's face graced the front page. Harry picked it up and glanced at the head line.
"Now he's working for the ministry? Just another way to get closer to the ministry and take over. Ginny?" He blinked as his wife walked into the photo on the paper. A piece of paper fluttered to the floor. Harry picked it up recognizing Ginny's loopy writing.
Dear Harry,
if you're reading this, I did it. I left you. This obsession with Draco is insane, it's making you insane. He is not a Death Eater, he is a good man, one who is willing to at least try to change. His charity is very successful and no, it's not some evil front for something. Don't try to convince me to return. I refuse to be second place to your obsession. Good luck, Harry, and please, get some help before you something you won't be able to return from.
Ginny.
Harry stared at the note, the image of Ginny in the paper.
"I knew, it, I knew Draco was up to something!" he yelled throwing them both in the fire place.
He stormed to Malfoy Manor. Draco opened the door.
"I was wondering when you'd show up, Harry. Look, I don't know where Ginny is at the moment, but she did tell me she doesn't wish to speak with you. If you don't leave quietly, I will be forced to have you removed."
"You stole her, you put a spell on her. Admit it! Admit you're in league with the Death Eaters, that you're planning to overthrow the ministry." Harry threw a hex at Draco who dodged fairly easily. Draco snapped his fingers. Two wizards emerged from the shadows, put Harry in a body bind and turned to Draco.
"I'm sorry to do this, Harry. I really am, but Ginny's right. You are unstable. I hope St. Mungo's will be able to help you see the truth and you can let go of this insane idea." The wizards apparated Harry away leaving Draco standing on his front lawn shaking his head.
