Ginny made a popping noise with her lips. She stared at the wallet in her hands. He'll come back eventually. Not that she was really looking forward to him coming back. She pretty much stayed by herself these days. After her break-up with the famous Harry Potter, she's been a sort of a recluse. She'd go to a bar occasionally, but nothing else. Just sitting at home, reading or other meaningless activities.

She heard a small knock on the door. She put the wallet next to her and got up. She pulled back her hair and yawned. She opened the door and smiled when she saw little Teddy at the door. He was going to be eight soon.

"Hey Teddy!" she pulled him close into a big hug. "What are you doing here?"

"Harry brought me to visit!" She let go and saw Harry standing at the doorway.

"You brought Teddy so I'd let you in?" her face became cold.

"So...you're letting me in?" he asked hopefully.

"No." she shook her head and pursed her lips.

Harry's eyes fell on the flowers in the garbage can. He took a step forward.

"I noticed you received the flowers..."

"Oh...were they from you?" she asked sarcastically and put her hand over her heart. She dropped her arm to her side. "I would like it for you to leave."

"But Uncle Harry came all this way to see you!" Teddy put his hands on his hips.

"Well, Teddy, maybe he can come back another time-" she was interrupted by a pop from behind her. She swiftly turned around to see Draco standing there. She shook her head, annoyed.

"I forgot something...Have you seen my wallet?" he asked awkwardly.

"It's on the couch...and Merlin's beard, why did you apparate here?" He turned around and walked to the couch. He picked up his wallet and looked from Ginny to Harry. He smirked and disapparated.

"I see how it is, Ginny. You're with Malfoy now?" He asked with a harsh tone.

"You're quite hilarious. I'm not with Malfoy."

"Then why was he here?" his voice escalated.

"I let him crash- you know what? I have no reason to tell you."

"Stop fighting!" Teddy yelled and got in between the two like a referee would. "I think you two need to talk over lunch or something."

Ginny stood there with her arms folded across her chest. Harry stood with his hands in his pocket and his head low. She swallowed hard.

"Maybe." she finally stated.

"How about I go back to grandma's house, and you two go!" he smiled from ear to ear. Harry patted his back.

"I don't think she's up for the idea, kiddo. Let's go." Harry turned around holding hand's with Teddy and started to leave, admitting defeat.

"Wait...I'll go." she swiftly grabbed her coat and followed them out the door, locking it behind her.

They dropped Teddy off at his grandmother's and Harry walked next to Ginny on the broken sidewalk near her apartment. They were heading to one of their usual spots they used to go to. A muggle restaurant with cheesy checkered floor and bright red seats. He held the door open for her and soon they were seated in the puffy seat. He sat across from her and held his menu up. She didn't touch hers. The waitress brought him a water and her an iced tea and left them alone for a while.

"So. What would you like to talk about?" Ginny smiled widely, obviously sarcastic.

"I don't know...It was Teddy's idea. Speaking of which, it was kind of awkward seeing his first cousin once removed earlier."

"Who are you talking about?" she was confused.

"Draco. Would you like to explain that?"

"Oh, that. The previous night, he was drunk. Extremely so, and I wanted to help him home but he could not remember, so I just took him to my flat and he crashed on my couch. Then, he left his wallet there."

"Oh."

"So how is your..." she cleared her throat, "...girlfriend?"

"I don't have one."

"Then explain to me what happened that night, a few months ago?

"I was drunk. Nothing happened. I've told you this before." he shook his head in annoyance.

"Alright, alright. It's been long enough, I guess." she paused for a few moments obviously lost in thought. "I believe you. I don't want to get back together with you, though." She took a sip of her tea.

"Why? Gin. I love you!" he tried to grab her hand but she pulled it away.

"Harry, why can't you understand? I was sick of being number two in your life. Everyone else was always first, and I was always pushed aside. I was walked over."

"It will be different this time. I promise." He tried for her hand again but she didn't take it away.

"Don't wast your promises on ones you can't keep." she said quietly, almost in a whisper.

"But, I will. I've done some reevaluating in my life and things are sorted now. You're my family, Gin. You have been for years. You're my wife. Those months have made me realize what is important. It's you. It's Teddy."

She bit her lip, pondering his words. She tapped the table.

"How about I give you a trial run? Nothing official. Just a test. If you fail...no more chances."

"Seriously, Gin? I will make you the happiest woman in the whole world!"

"But hey, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." she said flatly. "Let's get out of here."

She took him home. She sat on the bed and he stood in the bedroom doorway holding his coat. She smiled at him, hoping that things will be different. She motioned for him to sit next to her. He hung his coat over a nearby chair and he plopped down beside her.

"I just wish things were like they used to be. Like when I was seventeen. Our pure love. Nothing in the world could stop us." she said dreamily.

"It could be that way again." he turned towards her and held her chin with his index finger and pulled her close. His lips were soft and when they connected, it felt as electric as ever. She missed this. The holding, the kissing, and more. She wanted it to be that way again, but she didn't know if she could trust him again. Until then, she decided , I'll pretend. He was her husband after all. Separated or not.

She pulled him closer, and all her cares seemed to float away with every slow, gentle kiss he placed on her neck. She loved him dearly, and her once dormant affection now started to flood back to her in waves of butterflies as he slowly undressed her. She shrugged away his clothes and she smiled at his handsomeness. She did miss this. Feeling loved, and loving him. With every tender touch, her heart beat harder and with every movement made for up the moments that they were separated and soon she found herself clinging to one moment, and in that one moment they shared bliss.

Ginny awoke to the harsh sun glaring at her through the window. The curtains were open, and she noticed she was by herself, naked in her bed. A second later, the smell from the kitchen wafted to her nose.

"Harry?" she called. He walked in, with a plate full of her favorite food. It was like her honeymoon all over again. He sat next to her, placing the food on a tray. He kissed her cheek and she touched it. She felt all giddy again, like she was before this mess happened. It was almost like a bad dream.

"Did I pass, wifey?" he asked corny.

"With flying colours." she said pulling him into a kiss, careful not to knock over the delicious looking food he just brought her.
