Chapter 15: A Little Girl to the Rescue
Draco and Ginny were so happy to be home, even if they did now have to bring Emily into the trial. When Draco had told Narcissa that Emily was going to be talking to Kingsley the eldest Malfoy got very upset and expressed her displeasure to her son and her daughter. Uri and Draco calmly explained to her that it was the only way for Kingsley to make his final decision, and that right now it was up to Ginny to decide what was best for her daughter.
The family had dinner together and after that Draco and Ginny took Emily aside and told her what was going to happen. They just told her to be honest and tell Kingsley the truth about anything he asked.
"Am I in trouble?" the little redhead asked.
"Sweetie of course not," Ginny assured her daughter who looked a little scared. "You know Mr. Kingsley, you've talked to him before, and he and grandpa are wonderful friends. I promise you that everything is fine my love."
"Is this because of Da-…my father?" Emily asked, still not sure about what to call Harry Potter.
"Yes," Ginny didn't see any reason to sugar coat it. "Kingsley wants to know how you feel about him, how you feel about you and I being away from him, and how you like being here with Draco."
"And Uri, and Blaise, and Narcissa?" Emily asked.
"All of us," Draco took her by the hand. "We are a family and we love you and your mom so much. So just tell Kingsley how you feel, and answer all of his questions and everything will be fine."
Emily just nodded her head and sat down, a few minutes later Kingsley came up escorted by Patches.
"Good evening," Kingsley smiled at the assembled party. "Thank you for letting me come and talk to Emily somewhere she will be comfortable and safe. Mrs. Malfoy, I am concerned for her safety as well."
Instead of being rude Narcissa just excused herself. "I will leave you to it Minister."
"Now I must ask you something that I know you won't be happy about," Kingsley told them. "Ginny, I need you and Draco to be in another room when I talk to Emily. I will put an enchantment on a mirror in the room so that you all can see and hear through it but so Emily can't see you. Blaise will be with me so that nothing I do can be called into question and so that there is a legal voice in the room as well. It is only so that Emily will give me honest answers with no prompting or no thought to what you two want her to say."
"We understand Kingsley," Ginny told him. With that Ginny, Draco and Uriel all retreated into the room next to Ginny and Emily's room.
Blaise and Kingsley entered Emily's room. Kingsley waved his wand at the wide mirror and all of a sudden Ginny and the two Malfoy's could see everything perfectly.
"Blaise," Emily looked a little scared. "Where is Mommy, or Draco?"
Blaise sat down next to the little girl and put his arm around her. "Your Mom and Draco had to go with Uriel for a little while. So I told them I would stay here with you. You remember what your Mom said to you right?"
The redhead nodded. "All I have to do is tell the truth to Minister Kingsley."
"Thanks right," Blaise kissed the top of her head, well aware that this little girl had melted his heart. "I'll stay right here I promise."
Kingsley looked gently at the little girl. "I just need to know how you feel before I do anything. So how do you feel about your father?"
"I don't know him well," Emily admitted. "It always seemed to be me and Mommy."
"So how did you feel when you and your mom came here to live with Draco?"
"I was just glad to be away from him," Emily answered, Blaise and Kingsley knew exactly who she meant. "I didn't like it when he hurt my mommy."
Tears had started to form in the little girls eyes.
"You saw him hurt her?" Kingsley wanted to make sure he heard right.
"Yes," Emily wiped her eyes, and tried to stop crying. "Whenever I was bad and my dad would yell at me, Mommy would step in front of him and then order me to go to my room. Mommy had tried to put a silencing spell on my room, but my dad used a spell that made all of her magic weak and easy to break and the silencing spell didn't last. I heard them fight all the time, I would hear my mom cry and beg and plead when he hit her. Then at night she would come up to see me and I would pretend to be asleep but I would peak out and see her all hurt with her eyes puffy from crying like mine."
Ginny and Uriel were already crying on the other side of the magic glass, Draco holding both their hands. Ginny had no idea that her daughter had suffered so much; she had tried to shield Emily from as much as she could but in the end she hadn't succeeded. Harry Potter had took his toll on her as well.
"Do you like living here?" Kingsley asked.
Emily automatically brightened. "I love it here. I've loved being with my mom, and Draco. My Mommy is so happy here. I see her smile all the time now, and she laughs and no one hurts her."
"And what do you think about Mrs. Malfoy and Uriel Malfoy?" Kingsley said.
"Well when Mommy and my dad started fighting I didn't get to see my Aunt Hermione anymore and it was like there was a hole in me. When I met Uri it was like I had the hole all filled up. Uri plays with me and laughs with me, and every night she tells me that she loves me."
"Do she and your mom get along?"
Emily nodded enthusiastically. "Mommy says that she has never had a best friend who has ever done as much for her as Uri has. Whenever Mommy isn't with Draco or me she's with Uri."
"And what about Mrs. Malfoy?" Kingsley asked continuing on.
"Ms. Narcissa has been wonderful to my Mommy and I," Emily told him. "She has let Mommy and I stay with her own family, and she loves me too. She is a very nice lady once you get past how scary she can be."
Blaise had to hide the smile on his face, while Draco, Ginny and Uriel laughed outright. Emily had Narcissa wrapped around her finger and the little girl was still intimidated by the Malfoy matriarch.
"Do you know why your mom came to Draco?" Kingsley asked.
"Well," Emily started to act a little shy. "I know that my Mommy loves Draco and I know that he loves her. Mommy and I would visit Draco all the time before we came here. We would have lunch or go shopping. Draco and Mommy have been friends for a long time, and then when Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't believe Mommy she came here."
"Do you want to see your father again Emily?"
Emily began to look nervous and didn't speak for quite some time.
"It's okay Emily," Blaise assured her. "Just tell the truth, no one is going to be mad at you."
The little girl took a deep breath. "I'm scared of him. He doesn't care about me or Mommy like Draco does, he doesn't listen or help Mommy like Uri does, and I don't feel safe when I'm around him like I do when I'm here. He may be my father but he isn't my dad."
"Who is?" Kingsley asked, pretty sure he knew the answer.
"Draco," Emily responded as soon as Kingsley had the words out. "He does everything a Daddy is supposed to do. He protects us, takes care of us, and he loves us."
Draco felt his breath hitch in his throat. While he was sure that Emily had always looked at him as a positive male influence in her life, he had no idea he had impacted her enough to be considered her dad. Ginny squeezed his hand and smiled at him; he looked at her and kissed her on the forehead. In all his life he couldn't have wished for any greater happiness than this.
"Is that is?" Kingsley was coming to the end of his questioning.
"Sometimes all you need is love," Emily assured him.
When Kingsley was done Blaise took Emily by the hand and led her to where Narcissa was. He knew that the eldest Malfoy wouldn't be comfortable until she knew that Emily was alright after being questioned.
Kingsley met Draco, Ginny and Uriel outside the room just as he was putting his wand to his temple to extract his memory for his own Pensieve.
"Would you like to stay for a drink Minister?" Uriel asked.
"I would be delighted Ms. Malfoy," Kingsley responded as he put the small vial away.
The four adults walked towards Draco's study where Patches was already waiting with drinks. They all settled down into chairs to talk.
"She is so beautiful Ginny," Kingsley said of Emily. "She is so much like you."
"Thank you Minister," Ginny smiled still holding Draco's hand.
"And you Uriel," Kingsley regarded the newest Malfoy, at least in his mind. "You look so much like your mother."
"Yes," Uri smiled at him as well. "Draco got Lucius's looks and I got our mother's."
"I still find it quite extraordinary that you were able to stay hidden from the Ministry for so long, Lucius must have really wanted to keep you a secret."
"I try to block out the memories," Uriel told him honestly.
"Well," Blaise said coming into the room. "Your mother is still in a bit of a snit Draco."
"Should I go talk to her?" Uri offered.
"No," Blaise told her. "If anyone can quell her anger it's Emily."
Patches appeared with a drink for Blaise as well, who sat down next to Uri.
"I can tell you something we did find out," Kingsley spoke again. "We know who broke into the Manor and it wasn't Harry."
"Who was it?" Ginny wondered.
"It was a lower down Auror acting on Harry's orders," Kingsley told them. "He made this poor boy, who only graduated from the Auror training program a few months ago, that one of the Death Eaters still at large was being harbored by you here."
"But why would he tell him here when Potter didn't know Ginny was here?" Draco was confused.
"He was getting back at you for the way your treated him at St. Mongo's apparently," Kingsley shook his head. "He assumed that you lied to him that day he just had no idea how much you really did lie to him."
"Is the Auror okay?" Uriel asked. "Our wards aren't exactly kind."
"He was fine," Kingsley assured them. "Most of the wards had already been tampered with by Harry so they were easier to break."
"What about the Van Alan's," Draco asked the question he knew his sister didn't have to heart to.
"They are in the French Ministry. They are awaiting orders from you, Uriel. You just need to tell them what you would like to do about burial and they will help make sure it is done. While we are on that topic," Kingsley took another swig of his drink. If Andromeda is alright with the idea I think that Teddy's memory should be modified. The little boy has already been through so much he doesn't need this haunting his dreams, and hiding in the dark corners of his mind. If Andromeda doesn't feel comfortable doing it herself then I will be more than happy to help."
"Thank you Kingsley," Draco nodded.
"Well I think I best go," Kingsley stood up. "The council and I will have a long day of talking tomorrow. We will owl you when we have our decision."
They all bid him goodbye and he left with a crack of his wand.
"Now comes the hardest part," Ginny thought out loud. "The waiting."
"I think I'll stay here tonight," Blaise told them. "Just in case the decision comes in the morning, so I can be here."
He and Uriel started to walk in the direction of her room.
"Remember the rules my mother set down Blaise," Draco reminded his best friend.
"Goodnight little brother," Uriel looked at him in a way that told him to mind his own. "Goodnight Ginny."
"Goodnight you two," Ginny smiled, as she turned with Draco who was walking to her own room.
Before they had even gotten there Snuffled appeared before them.
"Mistress Malfoy says that Emily is asleep down in her room and she doesn't want to be moving her so she will stay there for the night."
"Thank you Snuffles, you may go," Draco told him.
Ginny had reached the door to her room. "Would you like to come in Draco?"
The young Malfoy didn't need to be asked twice. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him.
"Gin," he began. "Don't feel like we have to do anything. I mean you're still married technically, and I don't want to put anything involved with the case in jeopardy."
Ginny was already starting to undress well aware that it would only make Draco more nervous. "Are you telling me you don't want me?"
Draco swallowed anxiously. Ginny was down to just her bra and panties, and Draco had never seen a more appealing sight in his life.
"No that is not what I said," he assured her. "I've been dreaming of this day for a…very long time, I just don't want you to feel like this is something we need to do right now."
"Well," Ginny decided to tease him further. "I can tell you that this is at the top of my 'things I need to do' list, and from the look of you I would say you feel the same."
Draco was aware of how painfully hard he was, but he was trying to keep his lust from clouding his good judgment. Ginny slowly walked toward him and pressed him back into the door kissing him. As they kissed Ginny started to undo the buttons on his shirt, Draco let her. Then she unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants, Draco let her do that as well. When he felt her slip her hand into his pants and onto his hard member he just about lost his sanity.
He picked Ginny up and carried her over to her big bed. There were no words as the rest of their clothes came off and the kissing and touching became more fevered.
"Draco," Ginny gasped between kisses. "Just please be gentle with me."
"How long has it been?" he paused to ask her.
"Years," Ginny blushed.
Draco felt himself swell more at her admission. "I'll take care of you my love."
Soon Ginny was bucking and writhing in bliss as Draco's hands and mouth proved how talented he was. Then after Ginny had been satisfied once already, he lowered himself and joined them together slowly and gently. As his hips met hers they told each other of their love and after that all talking stopped. Each of them reached completion with the others name on their lips before they both climbed under the covers and fell asleep in each other arms.

Draco awoke the next morning to a pounding noise on the door. He didn't want to get out of bed, so he just ignored it thinking the person would go away and snuggled closer to Ginny who had been woken by the pounding as well.
"Draco I'm warning you, our Mother is in the way down to your room, and if you're not there when she gets there, you are in trouble. You know how she feels about sex before marriage, especially in this instance." Draco heard his sister hiss from the other side of the door.
Needing no more of an excuse than that Draco was up out of bed, with his clothes in his hands in seconds. He told Ginny he loved her before he apparated away to his own room. There he quickly rushed into his bathroom and hopped in the shower getting himself wet and leaving his clothes from the night before there. Right as he was stepping out and wrapping himself with a towel he heard a knock on his door. He breathed a sigh of relief as he opened it.
"Mother?"
"Oh Draco," Narcissa looked a little surprised. "I didn't mean to disturb your shower, I just thought…"
"Thought what mother?" Draco asked.
"Nothing," Narcissa smiled. "Uriel, Blaise Emily and I are going to pop over to the Manor in France and get some of our things, the House Elves are bringing over the rest now that it is safe for us to be back in Malfoy Manor again we all thought we would move back here, where we could all have a little more breathing room."
"That is a splendid idea Mother," Draco smiled at her. "How about after my shower I will wake Ginny and we will both meet you all in France for lunch."
"That sounds delightful darling, let Ginny sleep after the day you had yesterday she deserves it."
Without another word Narcissa turned and walked away, and as soon as his door was closed Draco apparated back to Ginny's room.
"Are we busted?" she asked, trying to hide a smile.
Draco shook his head. "But we are meeting Mother, Emily, Uri and Blaise over in France for lunch in an hour or so."
"An hour or so?" Ginny raised an eyebrow.
"Yea," Draco smirked. "Join me for a shower?"
"Of course," Ginny returned his smirk. "We couldn't go to lunch looking all disheveled, and flustered."
Draco pulled her to him and kissed her walking them backwards to the bathroom. Soon the hot water wasn't the only thing making the bathroom steamy.
A little while later Draco and Ginny met up with the rest of their family for lunch. Narcissa remained blissfully unaware of what had happened while Uriel and Blaise kept shooting smiles in Draco and Ginny's directions. They had a nice relaxing lunch and apparated back to Malfoy Manor.
It seemed like they had no sooner touched down then an owl appeared with a letter from the Council. Draco took the letter and read it.
"The Council has reached a decision," Draco said aloud. "We are to report to court right away."
Narcissa took Emily's hand as Draco, Ginny, Uriel and Blaise raised their wands and apparated right into court again.
The media circus was awaiting them there, but they ignored them and walked into the courtroom. Kingsley and the Council were already sitting and waiting. The courtroom was filled to capacity, everyone wanting to know the fate of Harry Potter. Ginny saw her family there and they found their way over to her. The Weasley's sat down with their daughter and her companions and waited. In due time, Kingsley called the court to order and Harry was brought in. He sat down and the room went silent waiting for Kingsley to speak.
"Harry James Potter," Kingsley began. "You have been a hero to all of the Wizarding world, but since then you have committed crimes against humanity that cannot be forgiven. I would be lying if I said this is easy for me, but I know that the Harry Potter I protected and fought for is no longer here. Harry James Potter, this Council finds you guilty on all charges. You are to be taken to a new facility in America for the criminally insane. There you will be treated and go into intensive therapy all while serving out a life sentence for the murder of the Van Alan's, as well as the assault, battery and other various charges. I also declare that your marriage to Ginevra Molly Weasley is ended, seeing as I was the one who performed the marriage I am now the one to end it. This case is dismissed."
As Harry Potter was led away by Aurors Ginny turned to Draco.
"Well I'm a Weasley again," she smiled at him.
Draco paid no heed to any of the reporters shouting questions and taking pictures, he only had eyes for Ginny as he dropped down to one knee. He slid the diamond ring off of her right finger as it seemed like the whole Wizarding world was looking on.
"Ginevra Molly Weasley," he started, as both their families looked on. "I have loved you for most of my life, and I can't imagine living without you another second. We have been through so much in the past few months but now I know that our love is strong enough to weather anything. Will you marry me?"
Ginny nodded her head, as tears began to run down her face. "Yes, a thousand times yes."
Draco slid the ring onto her left hand this time as he rose to his feet and captured Ginny's lips in a kiss. They broke apart and gazed into each others eyes. Ginny saw her families, old and new, smiling and nodding in approval. The press was still surrounding them; more questions flew, more pictures were taken, but Ginny just raised her wand and apparated them back home.
