REUNION PART I
Disclaimer- Harry Potter and its character belong to JK Rowling
A/NHi guys so I am going to update this story and and will try to complete it as soon as possible. I had many ideas but all seems so narrow and thin. I think this fic is going to be short but am not sure. Thanq for reading it and plz review...
Recap
Harry went through his inheritance at the age of eighteen and found out that he has two mates- Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley. They haven't seen Draco in three years and they plan to bring him from France by organizing a reunion at Hogwarts.
Hogwarts
"You are late Potter, "Blaise told Harry.
"I have a job Zabini and I could not leave my office before completing my paper-works. I was able to arrive now only because of Pansy. So how are the decorations and others going on?"
"Food specifications were given to house-elfs this morning. Finnegan told that he would bring both wizard and muggle alcohols and the decorations are going on as you can see."
"Blaise we need your help." someone called Blaise. "You go and help others and come here an hour before the function." Blaise left Harry.
'I better go and help others. I don't want an earful from Pansy.' Harry engaged himself in setting barriers and other things with others.
Time skip to evening- An hour before the function
Harry, Ginny and Teddy arrived exactly an hour early. As this was a family reunion, they decided to bring Teddy who were living with them and was like a first born in the family. All of them were neatly and elegantly dressed and both Harry and Ginny were tensed because they would be meeting their other mate after three years.
"Harry , Ginny", Hannah Longbottom nee Abbott called them to where she was standing with her husband Neville Longbottom and her friend Susan Bones.
They greeted them with an hug and a kiss on the cheek by the ladies.
"Uncle Neville..."Teddy screamed his name and hugged the man fiercely. Teddy saw Neville as his mentor because he loved plants and would always get fascinated about them. Neville would gift him a new plant every time he and his wife visit them and Harry and Ginny had to transfigure a room to a greenhouse for Teddy.
"How ya doing Buddy?" Neville asked him ruffling his hair. "I am doing great Uncle. I am having a little problem with the plant you gave me last month..." Neville led Teddy to a chair so they could discuss about the plant without boring their companions.
"Teddy and his plants," said Ginny shaking her head. "He is always in the greenhouse taking care of his plants. So how are you Hannah and Susan? How is job and everything?" Ginny asked the two ladies.
"If you lovely ladies excuse me" Harry left them with a peck on Ginny's lips and 'a see you later'.
Harry went over to where Dean, Seamus and Theodore were standing . "How is job Harry?",Seamus asked him. "Its kind of boring now a days. There hasn't been much raids after all the death eaters were rounded up and nobody is performing any dark arts.", Harry replied. "There has been a steady decrease in the rate of crimes after Potter became the Deputy Head Auror. I still wonder how got promoted after 3 years of joining that department.", Theodore Nott told them. "Believe me Nott, that is a question that I ask myself everyday", he told them laughing.
"Hey Potter, come over here please", Blaise called him from the refreshment area. Harry excused himself from the others and went to join Blaise.
"Where is Weasley and Hermione, Potter?" Blaise asked him.
"They should be here by now. Zabini. Will he come?",Harry asked Blaise a little later. There was no need to explain who 'he' was as Blaise led him to secluded place.
"He will come. Draco is a man of words. He wont break a promise, not to Pansy at least. "
"That's because he knows Pansy very well."
"Did someone say my name?", Pansy joined them with a glass of champagne in her hand.
"We were talking about Draco. Potter here is very nervous..." "Hey I am not nervous",Harry interjected. "...But I told him not to worry because Draco will surely come."
"Yeah, don't worry Harry. He wont judge you if that is what you are worried about. I am sure that he is a changed man. Its been nearly three years since we last saw him and speak of the devil, here he comes", Pansy looked past Harry towards the entrance of the Great Hall. There was Draco Malfoy with a child of about three or four. All heads were turned towards the newly arrived guests and Harry searched Ginny among the heads. It was easy to find her because she too was looking for him. He saw Pansy and Blaise hurry towards Draco and Harry felt someone touch his hands. He smiled at Ginny and looked at Draco who was coming towards them.
"Hello Potter, Mrs Potter",he greeted them. "Its still Weasley, Draco",she told him with a smile."Its good to see you, Draco. How have you been? Who is this beautiful child?" Ginny asked him.
"Good to see you too Ms. Weasley. I am fine and this is my daughter. Sweet heart, why don't you introduce yourself?", he asked the girl in his arms.
"I am Cassiopeia Malfoy. Its nice to meet you."she offered a hand to Ginny. "Oh! Its nice to meet you too Cassiopeia. I am Ginny.", Ginny said. "You can call me Casey.", she replied. "So Casey why don't you join me, there is someone you should meet. He is around your age and he is your cousin.",Ginny asked her. "Daddy, can I go with Ginny?",Casey turned towards her father. "Ok sweetheart but don't create any problems. Be good.", Draco told her. "Okay Daddy, I will be good." She joined Ginny and Ginny led them to where Teddy was sitting so Harry could have a conversation with Draco.
Harry's POV
I was busy studying Draco that I did not register the child in his arms.
"I am Cassiopeia Malfoy. Its nice to meet you." Her soft yet stern sound brought me back from my musings. 'She is really beautiful', I told myself.
I gave Ginny a nod indicating that I need to talk to Draco and she asked Cassiopeia 'Casey' if she would like to meet her cousin. When Draco gave his permission, She led Casey to Teddy giving us time to talk briefly about it.
"So Potter, Blaise told me that you wanted to see me. What is it that you want to talk to me. ", Draco asked me. He has really changed. His hair is not gelled back and he looks absolutely handsome.
"There is something that we should discuss in private, not now. We can discuss it after the party at Room of Requirement.",Harry said.
"Okay fine by me.", Draco replied.
"Hey Harry", Someone called my name. After hearing that voice for the last 10 years, I know whose voice was that. I think I should be prepared for the inevitable.
A/N So I started writing it again after an year. Happy New Year to all of you. May this year be wonderful and prosperous. Another important thing about ages of the next generation characters introduced so far.
Teddy-6 years
Casey-4 years
Victoria-5 years
I made many mistakes regarding their age and the year mentioned in this chapter is 2002. That's all. Adieu...
