Epilogue – Cloud Number Nine

Draco knocked on the door and soon Molly was there to answer it. "Why hello Draco," she said as she hugged the taller boy. "You are here early. Is Ginny with you?"

"No, I uh came to talk to Mr. Weasley about something."

"Of course, you come right in dear. He's in the back by the pool."

Draco remembered how all the Weasley kids and family pooled their money together and put in a pool for Molly and Arthur's 35th Anniversary the year before.

As Draco walked outside to the pool area he saw Arthur in a longue chair with too much sun screen on his nose, a straw hat on, and a drink with an umbrella in his hand.

"Mr. Weasley," Draco said letting the older man know he was there.

"Ah, Draco, my fine boy," he said getting up, "How good to see you!" He shook the younger boys' hand. "Have a seat." The two sat down, "Would you like a drink? I don't know what's up with the umbrella, but the muggles seem to enjoy it."

"Uh, no, I came to talk to you about something." Draco said nervously, as his leg started to bounce.

Arthur noticed the leg, and Draco placed a hand on it, in order to make it stop, "Seems serious."

"It is. I would like to marry your daughter."

Arthur put his drink down and said, "I see. So, you love her then?"

"Yes sir, very much."

"And you'll treat her right?"

"Yes, do I have your blessing?"

"Of course you do!" Arthur said. "Oh, wait till Molly hears about this, she'll be tickled pink!"

"Wait, Mr. Weasley, please don't tell her yet. I haven't told anyone of this. You're the first to know, so I'm hoping you will keep this to yourself."

"Of course, of course. All hush hush."

Molly came outside at that time and said, "Boys, the family is starting to arrive."

The two stood up and entered the house. As Draco walked through the doorway he heard a small scream, "Uncle Draco!" He turned and caught the small girl as she jumped into his arms!

"Penny, my favorite girl," he said as he gave her a kiss, "how are you doing?"

"Good," she said as she flung her arms around his neck.

"Was I replaced as Draco's favorite girl?" came a voice. It was Ginny.

"Aunt Ginny," Penny screamed and went to her.

"You act like you never see me anymore," Ginny laughed, "I just saw you last weekend."

"I know, but you're my favorite Aunt."

"Shhh, don't let Aunt Fleur hear you say that. Besides, I'm only your favorite because I let you do anything."

"Yes, and I appreciated the abundance of chocolate you gave her last weekend too, she barely slept for two days." Sara said, from behind.

"That was all Draco's fault."

"And so it begins. Everything is my fault."

"Mommy, we wanted to see if they made a wizard card of Uncle Draco yet."

Everyone looked at Draco, "Hey, they made one of Harry already, why not me?" The girls started to laugh as Draco felt a tug on his pant leg. He looked down and saw the newest addition to the Weasley family. Draco picked the little boy up and said, "Well, there's the birthday boy. How are you doing Nicholas?"

"Good. I'm three." He said and held up three fingers. Draco just laughed and hugged the smaller boy.

A while later…

Ginny, Sara, Hermione, and Lavender were sitting in the living room.

"I don't know how your mother did it with seven, I can barely do it with two," Sara said.

"Aw, Sara, but you're the only one providing mom and dad with grandkids." Ginny said

"Let someone else do it!" Sara said with a laugh.

Hermione and Harry were married in the beginning of the year and Ron and Lavender were engaged. Ginny looked down at her fingers and wondered when that promise ring would become an engagement ring.

"It'll happen soon, Ginny," Hermione said.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't act coy with us," Lavender said.

Ginny sighed and said, "We haven't even spoken of the future. I don't think he's thinking about marriage yet." Ginny recalled the conversation from years before when Draco was talking about being afraid of marrying someone in fear of turning out to be like his father.

"Ginny, any male who has that much fun with my kids, is thinking about having his own."

Ginny looked out the back windows and saw Draco playing with Nicholas and Penny in the pool, laughing and screaming.

Sara and Ginny walked outside and Sara said, "Come on kids, it's time to get out, the sun is going down."

"Aw, mum!" The two kids complained.

Ginny watched as Draco took both children, one under each arm, and pulled them out of the pool. Then proceeded to take their towels, dry them off with care and tenderness, and pass them off to Sara with a promise to go swimming again soon.

Draco walked up to Ginny and gave her a kiss, "Looks like you had fun today."

"I did," Draco said with a smile. "I showed Penny how to do a cannonball," he said with a big smile on his face. "We still have our big date tonight, right?"

"Yeah," Ginny said with a smile, Draco was telling her about this big night he planned out for them, "Oh, and don't forget, tomorrow is Tom's big Quidditch Camp Tournament. We promised to go."

"I know. Now I have to change so we can go," Draco said and kissed Ginny one more time.

Later that night…

Draco and Ginny apparated into a dark park. Ginny sighed as this is what they usually did, it was nothing new.

"Draco we're in Kensington Gardens, again." Ginny added that last bit under her breath. They usually took late night walks through Kensington Gardens after it was closed up.

"I know, just wait." Draco took out his wand and said a spell. Suddenly the garden was no longer dark, the trees were lit up, and bouquets of roses were all over the ground.

"Draco?"

Draco didn't say anything; he held Ginny's hands in his own and knelt down in front of her. Ginny could barely contain her gasp when she saw him holding a little black box, and open it to reveal a diamond ring. "Ginerva, I love you, and I think I have since I saw you singing in front of your mirror the first day I came to your house to study." Ginny laughed at the memory, "I am very lucky that you came into my life and I want you… no need you to become my wife. I don't know what I would do without you." Ginny was crying so much that she couldn't answer him, "Angel, please tell me you'll marry me."

"Yes, I will marry you."

Draco stood up, kissed her, and twirled her around.

When they parted Draco slipped the ring onto her finger and said, "You just made me the happiest man in the world."

She kissed him and said with a smile, "I'm on cloud number nine."

Draco smiled and said, "I am not going to sing to you."

The End.

This is finally the end of my stories. Thank you dear readers, for sticking with me for the past six years! I must admit, I am sad, for I am no longer going to be writing anymore Draco and Ginny stories anymore. I don't think I am going to be writing any fan fiction anymore. I'm 25 and need to start writing some of my own novels. I do have so many HP stories that I want to write and maybe one day I will write them, but not anytime soon. If you are interested, I wrote a story under another name georgieboy225. It is a George and Hermione story. Thank you again for reading and reviewing my stories.

Jenn A.K.A. Ginny612.

P.S. I have finally made it to London, England and will be going to school here for the next few months! I have gone to Kensington Gardens and it is gorgeous there! 
