Reunion

Harry stared at Ginny intensely, he asked quietly, "Where were you away for so long, and why did you go away? What happened to you? Ginny? "

Shaking herself away from looking at Harry, ignoring his questions, "How did you find me here? " Ginny asked her brothers, curious to know their answers. It seems so strange that she had been thinking of them and here they are as if she had accioed them wandlessly, bringing Harry along with them.

Fred spoke out, "Actually it was Harry who found you first..."

"...but we didn't believe him first because ... "George trailed off, seeing Harry's glare. He stopped mid-way.

Harry cleared his throat, making Ginny face him.

He looked at her, saying, "I have been coming to this park whenever I feel like to and since it was not far from my flat. Two days ago, as I was sitting on that side of the park , I was shocked to see you right here in this park, so close , but I wasn't sure that it was really you since you have red hair and reminded me of someone. But my instinct told me that it was you and then I started observing you since that day, wanting to be sure that it was really you, Ginny. I didn't want to ask you straight away whether it was you or not, since we having been searching, looking out for any red haired girl in our sight. I wanted to be cautious."

He paused.

And continued,"And yesterday evening I saw the newspaper articles, it mentioned your name. I was surprised to see the similar names between yours and the mystery Mrs. Malfoy. I didn't believe it at all, thinking that it was untrue but it seems a coincidence to me. You were here in London all of sudden and the paper mentioned your name as Mrs. Malfoy."

"I then immediately told my suspicions to them, "He looked at Fred and George," They didn't want to believe it but I persisted and suggested them to come here and watch you in case I was right or wrong. Then we waited for you , but wasn't sure if you had decided to come to the park today or not. But you came again. And here we are, finally found and confirmed that it was really you, Ginny!"

Harry blew out his breath, felt better at having explained to Ginny. He was frustrated at her, not telling outright about where she has been.

Harry noticed that she didn't seem surprised about the articles and their common first name, that means ...It can't be...

"Let's go to my flat and then I will tell you my reason of being away for eight years." Ginny spoke abruptly, got up and told them to come along with her...

Fred, George and Harry looked at each other and felt relieved at finding her and she was safe and perfectly alright. They felt free as if something had been lifted off their shoulders; they followed her to her flat, wondering what kind of life she had and where she had been?

Ginny allowed them to enter the flat, closing the door behind. Ginny told them to sit in the living room while she made tea.

Ginny bustled around in the kitchen making tea, while Fred, George and Harry sat in the living room.

When they had arrived, Ginny's nerve failed her and thus she is making tea and gathering her thoughts, was worried how to tell them about her and Draco, her sons to them. She put the service on the tray and levitated it out to the table.

Having had enough of stalling, she couldn't handle it anymore so she followed the tray out to where she saw that her brothers were sitting on the couch and Harry sitting on the cushion armchair. Ginny settled the tray on the small table in the center and she sat on the other cushion armchair, opposite side of Harry.

Ginny arranged and pour tea for her brothers, they took the cup of tea from her and were sipping their tea slowly.

She looked at Harry and inquired, "How do you take your tea?"

Harry replied," Just one spoon of sugar and a dash of cream in it. "

Harry was observing her, seeing that Ginny has grown up a lot, looking far more mature than before, her red hair more wavy, shinning and bit longer , more beautiful as usual.

As Ginny was preparing his tea, Harry was observing her flat.

He noticed that the flat was quite large and expensive and looking like as if this flat belonged to some old family. Harry knew that he knew the answers himself but he doesn't want to accept it. He wants to deny it as the truth.

Harry clenched his fist and then unclenched as he heard Ginny calling him to take his cup of tea. Harry leaned a bit forward and taking the cup from her hand, all the while, touched her fingers,he forced himself not to tremble from the tingling shock that ran up his body. At this moment, Harry and Ginny simultaneously look up at each other, and they both immediately lean back on their own armchair. This went unnoticed by Fred and George. They shared a knowingly glance.

Everybody remained silent and sipping their own tea.

"Well …Ginny?" asked Fred. George and Harry looked up at her now, impatient to know her story.

Ginny took a deep breath,and finally spoke out ,"Well, it has been too long because I have been living in abroad for eight years. I came back to England just 4 days back."

"Where exactly?" George asked. Wanting to know every detail of his little sister's life.

"Boston, U.S.A ", Ginny answered instantly. Wanting to tell them everything but then she didn't want to repeat her story many times if she get to meet her family too.

Ginny looked at Harry who was still watching her.

Not knowing how he will react to her big secret after all he, Ron and Hermione were civil to 'her Draco '. But now, she doesn't know what Harry thinks of Draco even though she heard from Lucius, Blaise, Luna and surprisingly from Uncle Severus too, that Harry made the world to believe and respects the Malfoy Family for what they had done to help him defeat Voldemort. He just had started his business under Lucius 's guideness two years ago and worried about how he will react now that Lucius had hidden her secret from him since long.

Will he get angry or feel betrayed by Lucius and Severus. Ginny decided that if he does get angry , she will nip his anger in the bud and won't accept his unnecessary anger from him anymore.

She sighed, took a deep breath, and said, "Fred, George, there is something which I haven't told you about my life."

She opted to look at her brothers though rather than at Harry. After all they knew about her crush of Draco during School.

"What is it, Gin?" asked George. (She had figured out which twin was which by this point.)

"Come on, spill! It can't be that bad, can it?" This was from Fred.

"Well, we'll see what you all think of it when I tell you." She braced herself and continued, "When I left, I was already married to Draco and was pregnant too. Only Draco, Lucius ,Severus, Dora and later my best friends too. "

"WHAT!"

"What...but how?"

"...married to Draco?" Harry, Fred, George spoke, their words overlapping each other's.

Ginny waited till they remained calm. And they did , remaining calm as much as they can, especially Harry controlling his feelings tightly.

He was too shocked, disbelief, he never thought of this. It was unexpected news to him err..maybe expecting it since noticing her reaction in the park. "I can't believe this, Ginny married to Draco Malfoy,since when they fell in love ? I thought that they were best friends and nothing more. "

"When did you both get married? I mean we never noticed it at all. I know that you and Draco were best friends but married?", asked Harry in a disbelief tone. He shook his head as if trying to shake the thought out of his mind.

"Yes, I and Draco were married during Draco's sixth year, at Christmas in Paris. It was a secret wedding. So, of course, nobody knew it."

Harry felt surprised and remembered that time when he was so involved with Dumbledore, Horcruzes.

Fred asked, "So you are a mother of …..." Ginny smiled broadly.

"Yes, I am a mother of twins , twin sons." Everybody saw Ginny's smile and noticed her pride shinning in her eyes, telling them about her sons.

"Seven year old twin sons."

Harry felt shock jolted through himself, thoughts pelted through his mind, Ginny is a mother of Draco's sons, and she married Draco Malfoy. How foolish he was, he thought that Ginny always had a crush on him and he never thought that she would fall in love with someone else other than him, even married and had children too. But He always pictured himself with …...He shut his thoughts out.

"You were the Mystery unnamed Lady Malfoy which the press rumored about since long time back ago. ", asked Fred.

"You married Draco that means you are a Malfoy?"

"Can't believe you're a mum?", said George.

"Malfoy has twins?"

"What's their name?"

"Do you have a picture?"

All of this came out very quickly as her brothers moved in to hug her again.

Once she caught her breath, she answered, "The eldest twin's full name is Lucas Abraxas Malfoy, and the youngest twin's full name is Derek Alexander Malfoy . And what kind of mother would I be if I didn't have a picture of my sons?"

Fred and George looked at the proffered photograph solemnly. And they passed the photograph to Harry.

"Wow, The Malfoy Twins, They looked like Draco." Fred exclaimed.

"Yeah," said George sadly. "They looked just like their father!"

At hearing their comments, Harry saw the photo and they were right, they look so uncanny like a smaller version of Draco.

He smiled sadly, knowing that they have not known their own father, almost similar to him. He too had not known about his father James Potter. He could almost imagined how Ginny's sons have grown up, curious to know about their father's life.

Then she told them, mostly to Fred and George all about her life in Boston, telling about how she had requested help from Lucius, Severus and they agreed to help her to go away from England. Telling that she stayed at Malfoy cottage, how her best friends, Blaise and Luna, Lucius, Severus helped her all through her life, right from the birth of her sons, her handling Malfoy International branch along with Lucius, they have been so great and she was grateful to have them in her life forever.

"So Mr. Malfoy and Professor Snape knew about you? Why didn't they tell us? We have been searching you since for so many years until 3 years ago. We eventually gave up the search, thinking that maybe you didn't want to be found."

Harry spoke in slight anger in his voice. Already expected this reaction from Harry, she sighed.

"Please, not again. I had received this attitude from Ron many times in the past. You have no right to be angry, It was my life and it was my decision too , if you have a problem with Lucius and Severus for not telling to you and everybody then blame me and not them."

"And yes, They did not tell because I had made them swear an oath not to reveal my location to anyone, no matter whom whether they were my family or not. I repeat myself again that they didn't do anything wrong. You have no right to be angry at them, Harry. They very much wanted to reveal my location to you, my family many times in the past but I didn't relent and had disagreed with them."

Ginny said angrily to Harry. Then Ginny twirled to face her brothers.

"Promise to me right now, you and you too, Fred, George, Promise me that you won't say anything to Lucius or Severus. Please." Ginny pleaded to her brothers and Harry.

"Alright! I don't have any problem with either of them. In fact, I am grateful and relieved to hear that you were safe and protected by two strong and powerful wizards." Fred smiled, trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah, I am with Fred. Seriously, we know now that Mr. Malfoy is a very good man and very well respected business tycoon. Mostly we know that Malfoys are fiercely protective of their own families and very loyal to the core. ", George said happily, reassuring her too.

Relieved to know her brothers were okay and not angry at them. Then she turned towards Harry.

Harry looked at her thoughtfully, and Ginny narrowed her eyes at him. " Are you thinking that I was not capable of looking after myself at that time? Or " Thinking that I should have not trusted those because at that time, nobody was sure of their loyalty? Or " Did you forget how you told me not to trust Draco fully at that time I was best friend with him, that I believed and trusted Draco more than my own brother?"

"Guess what, You were wrong on all those account . I was capable of protecting myself. Yes, I trusted Lucius , Uncle Severus with my own life at that time, but nobody ask me what I thought of and I had told you that I trusted Draco more than Ron at that time because at that time I was already in love with him, and he in turn love me too. But I couldn't tell you all because I fear that my family would forbid me from making relationship with Draco. And Ron and you had proved it with your attitude at School. So I choose to hide it from everybody until now. " Ginny yelled at him.

Hearing Ginny's words, Harry felt shocked to the core and they both remembered how he had questioned Ginny stubborn belief about her maintaining her friendship with Draco in the past.

In fifth year, Harry was already having feelings for Ginny but was afraid of Ron's reaction. He ignored his feelings and noticed Ginny becoming Draco's friend but he didn't think it would be serious. Then early in his sixth year, He was almost falling in love with her but he couldn't act on his feelings because he was afraid of anybody using her to get him. And then he was busy with Dumbledore with Horcruzes and the pensieve. He heard complaints from Ron many times about how Ron still didn't trust Draco and Draco must have imperioed her to be friends and Ron still can't accept that Draco is a good person and Ron was still stuck on the Malfoy-Weasley feud. And Hermione was as usual, indifference, telling them that Ginny is old enough to do what she wants and we can't always interfere in her life. She opted for being indifference towards it.

Harry was strolling out near the lake and he noticed Ginny sitting against the bark of the tree, wiping tears .

"Hey Ginny, What happened to you? Why were you crying? ", Harry asked Ginny gently.

"It's nothing. Just something went in my eye." Ginny was wiping her tears, trying to smile. At that time,Ginny was crying because how her brother Ron doesn't trust her capable of thinking and making decision in her own life and needing someone to protect herself . She was fed up and hurt . Harry didn't know about it.

"Seriously, what's wrong? Is it about Draco? Did he do this to you? Tell me, did he hurt you?" demanded Harry.

"No! Draco didn't do anything to me. Why do you and Ron always doubt him? I am getting fed up of both of your attitudes." Ginny shouted at him, having stood up in front of Harry.

"Why, Harry? Was it so difficult to accept mine and Draco's friendship? Or Are you both allowing your grudges to interfere my friendship with Draco? Or is it because Draco is a Slytherin and you both are wary of it. Tell me, Harry, were you almost sorted into Slytherin too then should I be wary of you too?." asked Ginny. Harry felt shocked at her shouting at him. Not having expected this from Ginny towards him.

"No..Yes ..what I mean, it was just that Draco had always been giving us trouble in the past and now we know that he is changed and he is not the old Draco. But it is hard for us to grasp and accept the change easily. I know Draco experienced loss but..I mean, you know how first impression is always the last impression .So we will always remember it and never forget it easily."

"The key word is 'had', right Harry? So this was the past and now this is the present. I am not telling you both to forget the old Draco, all I am asking to accept the new Draco and treat him accordingly, and not look at each and every action of him in a suspicious manner ,expecting any betrayal from him . " Ginny sighed, having been tired of explaining to Ron many times but Ron didn't listen to her at all. Ron still looks at her as if she is so innocent and naive having no idea of how cruel the world is.

"Yeah I know but Ron said that still until the war is over, we can't let our guard down and we should be careful with the Slytherins..." , He trailed off , seeing Ginny 's anger rising.

"Ron, Ron, Ron...Why do you always listen to Ron and Hermione too, Do you never use your own mind to think of. Always letting others decide for you, Huh, Harry? You know, Draco was right. You, Harry have always depended on Ron and Hermione the entire time since you came to Hogwarts. Hermione always boss over you and you can't do your homework on your own and you maybe purposely slacked yourself, being lazy in your studies because you didn't want to hurt Ron's feelings. Why Harry? Why can't you be more independent of yourself and show the world that you are smarter and control your destiny. ", Ginny shouting with anger.

"Don't speak of Ron and Hermione like that. Ron is my best friend and Hermione is just being careful, worried about ourselves even though she is a bit bossy. But please don't speak of my friends like that. I mean he is your brother too. Surely he cares more about you. He is just worried that Draco might use you or something like that." Harry spoke in slight anger.

"There you go again! See, you defended your best friends easily, Harry? Then why do you and Ron can't accept that I was defending my best friend Draco too from you both but no, Ron thinks that I am being stupid and defending his former enemy more than him. A betrayal of what ...Ron has never bothered about me since he has you and Hermione. And when something is going on in my life then he suddenly becomes a caring brother and interfere in my life. I have never bothered to interfere any of your ,Hermione and Ron's life. Why does he? What is so different between your friends and mine's, huh?" Ginny looked at Harry with anger .

"I think you are misunderstanding us. It's just we, I and Ron are worried for you. Anybody could fool you and maybe use you against us. ", Harry tried to placate Ginny.

"There you go again. Please try to remember that I am not a baby. I am now capable of protecting myself, and you know what ,I know that I trust Draco more than I trust my own brother. I hate Ron so much. ", Ginny spoke seriously.

"How you can trust Draco more than Ron? If you are so capable of judging people's characters then why did you trust Tom Riddle , a non-existent person in your first year?" Harry bit his tongue, cursing himself, he knew that he had crossed a line. He regretting having spoken out in anger.

Ginny gasped; shocked,unbelievable to hear that Harry would dare throw back about her worst incident. Hurt flickered across Ginny 's face, she slowly stiffen herself, putting a mask on her face, said emotionless," That's was pretty low, coming from you,Harry . I never thought that you would dare say or think of me in that way. Maybe you were right about first impressions. You and Ron still see me as a foolish girl who believe Tom Riddle's words ."

Harry pleaded at her,saying repeatedly," I am sorry,Ginny. I didn't mean anything ."

Ginny ignored his words.

She continued speaking ,"I understand now, you and Ron would always use my first year incident and hold it over me through my life. I was a foolish girl when I was eleven years, the same age when Draco acted like a prat. But people change. But you and Ron would never change and would always think that you are the most righteous people in the whole universe. But you know what, I pity you because from where I stand and see you, and you knew it yourself deeply that you were letting people run your life for you and you don't have any control over your own life. I don't care what you do with Ron and Hermione. But I know that what I am doing in my own life. You say that Ron is your best friend, and yet he felt jealousy of your fame in your fourth year. How many times Ron had turned his back on you and yet you accepted his apology so easily. And When Draco said his apologies to you and Ron ,Hermione too , but accepting his is so difficult all because of a childish grudge and first impression. What does that say of your friendship?"

"Well , I have said too much but it doesn't matter to you or Ron. I have said this to Ron and repeating myself to you again, Don't poke your nose into my life. It's none of your business. Since I had joined Hogwarts , you have never noticed me or bothered to ask me to join you all ,instead you had ignored me so easily. So I say ,ignore me again.I don't care ."

"Good bye, Harry and Good luck for defeating Voldemort in the future." Ginny said in an emotionless tone and went back, walking up the path to the door of Hogwarts.

Harry stood shocked, looking at her walking back.

He felt a lump in his throat, not knowing what happened all of a sudden between him and Ginny," You don't know why I said it,it's just came out wrong.I am not good at words. I was damn worried about you. You don't know how I would have felt if you have been hurt or not. I don't have any problems with Draco. It's just I am so jealous that you spend more time with him rather than me. Anyway, I am already falling in love in with you and yet you don't know what I am feeling for you. I didn't mean anything I said about Tom Riddle. If I have a time turner now , I would gone back to stop myself from saying those harsh words. Why is my life so difficult? I know you were right about my life but then what should I have done?" Harry whispered to himself, already hurt by Ginny 'words. Harry threw his fist against the bark of the tree,letting tears out on his face.

Harry shook himself from the past memories, looking at Ginny,said in his steady voice, " I admit that I was wrong long time back ago. But now I know that you are capable of protecting yourself. And yes, I have a right to be angry because I will always worry about you. I respect Lucius very well. I respect your decisions and promised not to do or tell Mr. Malfoy and Professor Snape anything. " He looked at Ginny defiantly.

Ginny watched Harry's eyes, seeing the sincerity on his face, then nodded at him in relief.

Then Harry and Ginny felt awkward, both had the same flashback , not knowing what to do now.

After a bit silence, nobody said anything. Wanting to break the silence, Ginny turned to Fred and George. "Tell me about your life."

Fred and George filled her in on the Weasleys. Severus and Lucius had told her a lot of the news over the years, but the twins told it all in such a way that she laughed the whole way through.

Their shop in Diagon Alley was flourishing.

"Well, we do have several of the best and brightest Hogwarts students on our payroll," George explained.

"Oh, yes. They are invaluable for helping us meet the needs of the current batch of students," Fred said,grinning widely.

"And we convinced Harry finally to make him permanent partner at last."

"He's the new investor ...," said George.

"He's going to help us open a shop in Hogsmeade."

"He has actually helped out a lot over the last few years."

"Oh, Yeah, I heard about it too from Lucius and Severus. Actually I was surprised that he works with you. After all I was so used to seeing him with Ron and Hermione. Actually I thought that you, Ron and Hermione would work together may be in Auror Department or …...Well..."

Ginny said in amusement,looking at Harry, "I mean, at Hogwarts, you three were practically inseparable. The Golden trio and all that tripe..."

Harry understood what Ginny was saying. This was nothing new to him as he has been hearing this after the war. But hearing this direct from Ginny hurt Harry. He didn't know why.

Fred and George noticed him.

"Okay," said George. "Now that that is settled, let me update you on the rest of our brothers' life."

Ginny nodded, felt curious to know from her brothers, even though she heard bits here and bits there about her family. And the twins told her everything while Harry was stretching himself on the armchair , raising his arms behind his head , watching Ginny subtly.

Bill was still working for Gringotts, but was based in London. He still had long hair and an earring, which his mother was still complaining about. She never realized that it was futile, as Bill's wife very much approved. He had married Fleur Delacour before Ginny had left, and Ginny had known about her pregnancy. They had two daughters and a son. Their daughter, Victorie was a few months younger than her twins.

Charlie was still working with dragons in Romania.

Percy was still a prat. He had made amends with the family after the war, but the twins still didn't trust him entirely. He works for the Magiacal International cooperation department at the Ministry of Magic, Somehow, he had married Penelope and she was a healer there .Percy has two Daughters, Molly and Lucy.

Ron and Hermione had married three years ago . Ron now worked as an Auror. Hermione works in the Department of Magical Law.

Harry told Ginny, in general about his life.

He worked as an Auror for five years, having got fed up of fighting Dark wizards, he decided to work with them in the shop, sometimes he get involved in his Potter 's estates under the guideness of Mr. Malfoy. He is doing well in making profits and He also teaches the children at Hogwarts in his free time. Ginny was surprised at Harry's profession. Since she thought that he would work with Ron, fighting dark wizards etc.

Silence fell over the group for a few minutes, and Ginny realized that she didn't have all of the news after all.

"How are Mum and Dad?" she asked.

Fred and George and Harry looked at each other, and then back at Ginny.

"Well," George said rather carefully, ""You have to understand, Ginny," Fred began. "When you disappeared and not having informed anybody, no letters too..."

"And it was too big a shock for us when you left for no reason ."

"But to Mum and dad... It was like losing a child."

"They still don't understand the real reason why you left. "

"She doesn't talk about you anymore. She was so angry and been making all of silly reasons whether it was their fault that you left or what was it that made you leave when everybody was enjoying the triumph and you didn't enjoy it , you were the only person who was sad of losing Draco and we all were rejoicing that we all survived through the second war. They might have had some hint but they didn't dare think on it."

"We think she and dad gave up on you ever coming back but then they are sad, not as cheerful as before."

"After all, it has been eight years."

"Yeah, I wasn't ready to come back but Lucius and Uncle Severus convinced me that my sons need to know his other family. And they need to get adjusted and settled in England before going to Hogwarts.' said Ginny.

"So yeah that's why I returned back here. Actually I was thinking of meeting you two in the park but then you three surprised me."Ginny said with a chuckle.

"So what now, Ginny?" Harry asked.

He wants to know what Ginny planned to do. He decided to be a good friend and to convince her that he really changed and not the same boy she had known before. He decided that he was not going to let Ginny slip again out of his life. He needed...He cut his thought out.

"Well, I want to meet mum and dad and the rest of my brothers before my sons come back here after two days." answered Ginny.

"You're going to have to go to the Burrow right away," George said, as serious as he could be.

"No question about it," added Fred.

"I guess you're right," Ginny said resignedly, thinking that her mother would be angry enough as it was. "So, how can we do this?"

"Well, I'll just go and inform Mum to let her know she should expect us and a guest tonight," said George, "And Harry will side apparate you to the Burrow. "

Seeing Ginny's indignant expression. Fred continued," Yes you will come with Harry because I don't want you to skip this meeting like how you made us leave you the last time eight years ago." said Fred. Ginny felt silent.

To Harry he added, "I trust you to watch her and make sure that she comes along after us. And Mum would love to see you again even though she saw you last weekend." Harry nodded, and then looked expectantly back at Ginny.

Once the twins were gone, Harry and Ginny felt nervous ,noticing that they were alone now.

"I have not disappointed you or anything?" Ginny said quietly, not looking at Harry, but looking at anything.

"Disappoint me in what?" Harry asked, confused to what Ginny was talking about.

"I was Ron's little sister who married Draco Malfoy, your former enemy," she said, drawing out every syllable as if he were a slightly slow child.

Ginny saw so many emotions flickered across his face and then he then looked at her for long time, He still was processing the line in his mind...Married to Draco Malfoy ,Married to Draco Malfoy...It was still a shock to him, It seems that he didn't know Ginny so well as he assumed. He didn't know Ginevra Weasley...errr Ginevra Malfoy...what a fool he was! He was so foolish in the past thinking that she always has a crush on him. Never thought she would love a Malfoy. But she also didn't know him well too since he too changed a lot since he learned of her disappearance ,thinking it was because of him she ran away...How wrong he was!

"As you said, People change and I have changed a lot since eight years ago. I am tired of hearing from people who keeps reminding me that I am Harry Potter and I am supposed to do what they expect in a certain way, I have changed a lot since that time..." he said with a sad smile.

"Not everything is as it used to be, Ginny..." He then walked up-to her, then gazed into her startled eyes for a moment, one hand on the doorknob. "Come on, let's go to the Burrow and ..." And then the next thing Ginny knew, that Harry apparated her to the Burrow.

A/N: Atleast We know a tiny bit of why Ginny thought that Harry has not changed at all. But now she is beginning to see the changes in Harry. She is seeing the new Harry now. Now Ginny reached the burrow. What happens now? Watch for the next chapters.
