HEY!! this'll be the last chapter out for a while. check back in about a month. Hope you all love the story so far!

"Harry James Potter!" Ginny stormed into the house. "What were you thinking? Just because she dates one boy whom you don't like."

"That one boy is Draco Malfoy's son," he growled into her face.

"That son of Draco Malfoy once worked for my brothers," she said.

"You hated him at first, too!" Harry said.

"I did, but I listen to people. And if Fred and George say he's a good kid, then I believe them. Even the great Harry Potter is not always right."

"I made a decision, and I'm not changing it," Harry said with a tone of finality.

Ginny wouldn't take it. "You made a 'forever' decision in two seconds? Will you ever think before you do things?" He didn't say anything. Ginny couldn't help but rub it in a little more. "Maybe if you thought before you acted, Sirius would still be alive!"

The windows in the house shattered outward. "Don't you dare tell me what to do." Harry turned around and grabbed her by the upper arm.

Ginny flinched, but only taunted him more, "What? Can't take it Harry? Can't believe that it's your fault that he's dead? Can't believe that maybe, if you weren't so rash, things may be different?"

Harry tightened his grip and glared at her.

"A man who never learns from his mistakes. Don't look at me Harry. You disgust me." She shook herself from his grasp and walked out.

-BREAK-

Ginny had waited three days for Harry to turn around. It usually only took him two, but she had waited an extra day before heading to Malfoy Manor for help.

The butler opened the front door for her and led her into the sitting room where Pansy was entertaining a group of friends.

"Mrs. Potter," said a particularly fat young lady, "have you lowered yourself to join us?"

"Yes," said one with an almost white shad of hair, "one would never guess that you would grace us with your uninvited presence."

"That's enough ladies," Pansy said. "Mrs. Potter, would you like to join me in the kitchen?"

"I would, Mrs. Malfoy. Thank you," Ginny said.

Mrs. Malfoy led Ginny into the kitchen and helped her sit down before asking why she came.

"My husband," Ginny said carefully, "refuses to see reason."

"Meaning that he won't back down from his claim to disown her if she continues to go out with my son, correct?" Pansy looked up at Ginny.

"I was wondering if you or Mr. Malfoy may have any sort of influence on him," Ginny whispered.

"He's not home right now, but if you would like to wait for him, I'm sure he'd try," Pansy said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Malfoy. I know I haven't been kind to you in the past, but I believe I may have been harsh to judge you. I'm sorry," Ginny could feel the tears coming to her eyes.

"I forgive you and must in turn ask for your forgiveness. I can't say I've been much kinder to you myself," Pansy's heart went out to the woman. She was so close to losing her daughter. She took a deep breath before asking, "Please, call me Pansy."

Ginny cracked a smile. "Only if you call me Ginny."

The two women shared the day talking about the good times they had when they were at Hogwarts and what it was like to raise children.

-BREAK-

"Scorpius," Lily said as she walked into his room. "We're out of luck. My mom tried, your mom tried. Well, even your dad tried, and he still didn't relent."

He sighed. "I'm out of ideas. What do you want to do?"

"I… I think we should stop seeing each other." She hung her head so that he wouldn't see her tears.

"Lily," he said desperately. "Lily, no. You're letting them win."

"Do you have any better ideas?" she shot back.

"No… but please think of something." Scorpius was begging. Yes, it was demeaning, and yes, it was a wound to his pride, but if it meant that Lily stayed, then it was worth it.

She sighed, "I have an idea, but I was really hoping it wouldn't get to this," she sighed again.

"For you, Lily, I would do anything," he replied, urging her on.

"It will be a relationship built on lies," she cautioned.

"Our friendship was built on secrecy for years," he reminded her. "Tell me, please."

"We can pretend to break up. My father will be happy, and everyone else will think that it was just a fling." She looked at Scorpius's pained expression. She walked up to him with a smile on her face, "But we can still go out, just not publicly. If they find out, then it's our luck."

"My lovely lass, you should be in Slytherin," he said before kissing her.

"You would love that, wouldn't you?"

"Of course I would. My princess would be close to me all the time." He smiled before capturing her lips yet again.
