Walking to the front door I expected to see a flash of red hair through the glass and then begin to feel a sense of dread as I opened the door to see which Weasley had rung the bell. Instead I saw a head of black hair with vibrant purple streaks. 'There's only one person this can be' I thought with a grin and opened the front door.

"Keira Oralee Grey!" I heard my guest yell as I was tackled to the ground.

"Addison Delaney Brennan" I gasped struggling for breath, partly because it had just been knocked out of me but also because I was laughing my ass off.

"I've missed you babe." She said with a sad smile and still sitting on me.

"Yeah ... but your aim's improved" I added with an impish smile. We both broke into a giggle fit and hugged each other. Addie had been my best friend throughout Hogwarts, and my only real female friend ... ever, and because of that I had a tendency to go overboard with gossip and giggling and the things you only do with your girl friends. We told each other everything ... well with the exception of me being a deatheater and some other nasty stuff that happened over the past couple of years, but at school we told each other everything. We were honest and blunt with each other and if I ever came back to our dorm late she had no problem asking what or sometimes whom had I been doing and I did the same for her. Although we sometimes had our fallouts, I loved the girl to bits. We started chatting about fond old memories, like the time we went skinny-dipping in the lake, when someone behind us cleared their throat.

"Would you mind getting of my wife?" Draco said sounding rather amused. Addies light blue eyes widened.

"No freaking way!" she squealed then grabbed my left hand and tugged it towards her so she could thoroughly examine the rings with a huge smile. Then she punched me in the arm "Why didn't you tell me?" she whined.

"Because it didn't seem the right time during the whole minute and a half you were straddling me." I told her with a laugh.

"How long have you been married? I'm sure you had time to write a stupid letter." She said sort of hurt.

"Its only been a couple of days, and I wanted to tell everyone in person" I said trying to console her "And if it makes you feel any better I've invited the Weasley's over today so you have front row seats to that fiasco" Her face lit up and she hugged me again.

"Thank you, I wouldn't miss it for the world" she said cheerily. She looked up at Draco then tilted her head to the side like she was thinking about something. "Aren't you a criminal?" she blurted out.

"Used to be." He casually replied. She gave him a look as if to say continue, but he ignored it.

"He was cleared by the ministry and the order as he confessed everything, said he was sorry, turned his back on you-know-who and because he was at a young and influential age when everything happened." I explained.

"Oh, makes sense" she replied. Then she paused "Your Mrs Malfoy!" she half yelled as the realisation hit her. "Who would have guessed 5 years ago that this would happen?" She said calming down "Are you happy?"

"Very." I answered with a warm grin.

"Then I'm happy for you" she said sincerely. We laughed and hugged again. Draco just stood their leaning against the frame watching the show. Suddenly Addie got off of me and walked over to him. "Seeing as I'm probably the first of Keira's friends to know let me be the first to say, you hurt her and I'll ram an umbrella down your throat, open it and then drag it right back out!" she said viciously. For a second I thought Draco looked genuinely scared which made me laugh.

"You won't have to worry about me and Keira, I couldn't hurt her if I tried, she's the best thing to ever happen to me" he said affectionately. 'Good answer' I thought to myself.

"Right now that that's out the way, congratulations" she said and hugged him. Draco paused for a second and looked at me. I mouthed at him to hug back and he did. Addie pulled away "Do you know me and Keira share everything?" she asked him smiling mischievously. His eyes widened.

"Not husbands we don't!" I told her sassily. She laughed at me.

"You know I wouldn't Keira, it's just fun to wind you up sometimes. By the way I approve" she said beaming at me. I laughed with her.

"Right madam, go wait in the living room," I said pointing to the door, "and we'll go fetch some food"

"Okie dokes" she said heading off and I turned to the kitchen

"Your friend is a nutcase!" Draco whispered harshly behind me.

"I know." I replied fondly "Isn't she great?!"

A couple of minutes later I went back to the living room carrying a tray of cookies. The second I got through the door I noticed a hell of a lot of red heads sitting about the room who greeted me affectionately. My eyes widened in shock. "I didn't know you guys were here!" I exclaimed

"Well they got here when you were in the other room so I let them in" said Addie sounding quite pleased with herself" I shot her a glare and a forced smile that no one else noticed

"Thanks for that" I replied warmly

"Your welcome" she said with a wink.

I put down the tray and looked around the room in confusion "Well what are you bloody well waiting for, I demand hugs people" I said holding out my arms. They all got up as if it was a huge effort and hugged me one by one while saying things like "Good to see you" and "Missed you Keira". I even got a friendly hug off Fleur and Raia (George's wife) whereas Hermione who had recently married Ron stubbornly stayed sitting as well as a girl I didn't recognise but assumed to be Fred's girlfriend. The most uncomfortable hugs however were from Ginny and Percy as we don't really get on and from Charlie but that might have something to do with breaking up from a serious relationship with him a little while back. "Right I have an announcement," I declared loudly as everyone sat back down. I wanted to get this out before Draco came into the room. "I-"

"Your gay!" Fred interrupted me and everyone laughed.

"No, far from it" I said with a smile "I-"

This time I was interrupted by people shouting "Malfoy" and pulling out their wand as he walked through the door carrying cupcakes.

"Don't shoot!" I yelled and stood protectively in front of him knowing they wouldn't hurt me. Draco seemed surprisingly calm, I was just happy he wasn't smirking at them.

"Keira!" Ron growled, "What is HE doing here?" I shifted nervously.

"Um yeah" I smiled timidly "That was my announcement. Draco and I are married" then it all exploded, there were shouts from every direction ranging from "What?" "When?" "Why?" and I'm pretty sure I heard Addie shout, "Damn I wish I had popcorn!" The only quiet ones were Charlie and Fred's girlfriend.

"Quiet" I yelled "Yes you heard me right, me and Draco are married. When? Two days ago. Why? Because I love him. And sorry Addie no popcorn, have a freaking cookie!" I snapped and threw a cookie at her.

"Keira, its Draco bloody Malfoy!" George hissed.

"Yeah and what wrong with that?" I asked. I was relieved that Draco was keeping his mouth shut. Nearly everyone was staring at me like I was insane.

"I can't believe this" Ron yelled and stormed out of the room. I followed him.

"Ron don't be like this!" I called out after him

"Keira, are you forgetting everything he did!" he yelled

"No, but he's changed and I'm willing to put it behind me and so should you" I yelled back.

"He tortured us back in school, tried to make our lives a living hell"

"Don't be so petty!" I hissed, "It's not like we didn't have revenge. And to be honest a lot of the things Draco and I did to each other was to compensate for the other things we did to each other" Ron looked horrified as I continued to tell him the story Draco and I had made up earlier. "Oh come on, it's not like this happened out of the blue, we've had feelings for each other for a long time, we just kept it a secret because we didn't think it would last and there was no point going through all this if it could be avoided."

"He's a lying cheating bastard. How could you-"

"I don't say what I think of you wife so I'd appreciate if you don't say that about my husband!" I shouted.

"What's wrong with Hermione?" yelled.

"What's right with her?" I asked quite bitchily.

"That's not the point. He tried to kill Dumbledore, Keira he tried to murder someone!" he said like he was pleading with me to see sense.

"But he didn't! He couldn't do it! Even bloody Potter said that!"

"He became a deatheater! He let the rest of them into the castle! Maybe you don't understand what it was like because you weren't there fighting, but it was scary, they almost killed us!"

"Yeah because I have no idea what it's like, people being murdered by deatheaters! I'm completely clueless! My parents just dropped dead one day for no reason whatsoever!" I growled bitterly

"That's what I don't get Keira. He was in league with the people who slaughtered your parents, how could you forgive that?" He asked confused. And I laughed.

"You make it sound like he was the mastermind behind it all."

"Keira-"

"No" I interrupted angrily. "He didn't even want to be a part of it. They threatened to kill his parents, maybe YOU don't understand how that feels because it's never happened to you, but imagine it. Imagine if they threatened everyone you ever cared about, your parents, your brothers, Ginny, Hermione, Everyone! Now tell me you wouldn't do it. Tell me you wouldn't do whatever it takes to save them." He didn't say anything so I carried on yelling. "See you can't, you know you would, I know I would have and I still would if it could bring them back and hell, I'd do it you guys because your like family to me and I'd do it for Draco because he's my husband and I love him." By the time I'd finished there were tears in my eyes.

"Keira, I cant do this, you and Draco, its not right, I won't stand for it!" Ron said firmly

"What?"

"I can't stay in the same room as him." He said resolutely

"Then get out of my house," I said quietly

"What?" he asked in disbelief.

"Get out!" I roared "And don't come back until you can accept this." There was a faint pop as he dissaperrated. I wiped away any tears that may have fell and took a breath to compose myself. I walked into the living room with a smile on my face as if the argument with Ron didn't happen although I was sure everyone had heard it. Everyone seemed to be pretty much where I left them except Draco was now sitting in a chair, his expression was blank and Hermione was standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at me

"What have you done?" she hissed.

"Get out Hermione." I growled "The only reason you're here is because you're married to Ron otherwise I wouldn't let you through the front door. And I sure as hell don't want you here if your just going to rant at me!"

"What?" she asked in the same tone Ron had

"Get. Out. Before I throw you out!" I said glaring at her "In fact if anyone else has a problem with this they can leave as well." Hermione made a disgruntled humph sound the dissaperated whereas everyone else stayed where they were. I smiled and stuffed a cookie in my mouth and Addie started asking the twins about business, everyone seemed relieved to have something to talk about. I felt a tug backwards and found myself sitting in Darco's lap, his arms snaked around my waist bringing me closer to him. "That was some performance and I really am impressed, you deserve an award." He whispered loud enough to hear. I couldn't help but smile proudly. "I guess this is the part where we have to be all lovey dovey" he whispered sourly.

"We're gonna need a lot more cookies" I sighed.
