No authors note today, Ill just surprise you. Muahahahahahahahaha.

Harry's POV

"I'm waiting Harry" Ginny said, arms crossed, on the outside she looked ready to kill but in her eyes I saw the hurt and betrayal. My heart broke for her, I never meant to hurt her.

"Gin, I'm sorry" I took a step towards her, wanting to wrap my arms around her but she stepped away.

"So its true…" she whispered, her eyes widening. "I hoped…I hoped that it was just more of Skeeters lies…Harry…"

"I never wanted to hurt you."

"What did you think you'd be doing!" she yelled at me "You cheated on me Harry! You-you slept with him! Since Christmas! CHRISTMAS! I can't believe this…" she started to pace.

"Ginny…"

"No, Harry just don't. Please…" she whispered, putting a hand up. In that moment we weren't the Golden couple, we weren't Harry and Ginny Potter, we weren't Wizards. We were just a married couple, having one of the darkest moments a married couple can have and it was my entire fault. "I need to go have some time alone."

"When will you be back…?" I whispered

"At this point I don't even know if Ill be coming back." she casted a charm to change her clothes before leaving. I went into the den and sat on the couch, reading the article over and over for what felt like an eternity, then I heard a soft click click. I looked up and saw Draco's owl pecking at the window. Standing up I opened the window and took the piece of parchment off its leg. Giving the bird some grain to nibble at I read the letter.

Get the Prophet? -DM

Yeah, Ginny left. -HP

I sent that back numbly and in no more then ten minutes I heard the loud popping noise of someone apparating. I didn't even need to look up to know who it was, Draco sat next to me and put his arms around me securely. He said nothing, just kissed my forehead and silently let me know he'd always be there. I smirked against his chest softly.

"Why are you smiling Potter? Your wife might have just left you." He muttered.

"I'm smiling because of you."

"Me? Why?" he raised his eyebrow in a very Malfoy like look.

"You've changed."

"I have not, what do you mean?"

"Hm, let's see. You are holding me in your arms, comforting me and probably have the undeniable urge to snog my brains out." I chuckled softly.

"I was thinking shag your brains out but close enough."

"And you've gotten yourself a sense of humor." I shifted to lean my back against his chest, my head tucked under his. He had his arms wrapped around my waist, slender fingers tracing my abs lightly.

"I've always had a sense of humor. You just never noticed."

"I notice now, I notice everything about you." I smiled softly.

"Oh? And what have you noticed about me?"

"Well you like green apples. You hate spiders almost as much as Ron, you're just better at hiding it. You count the stars when you think I'm not looking. You take a peek under any skirt you can-"

"I do not!" he objected

"You so do" I laughed "Even if you don't notice it you do. You're favorite color is light green, not dark green like most Slytherins. You like the warm rather then the cold. You hate it when your food touches and think peas are gross."

"How the hell did you learn all that?" Draco asked and I prided myself, he seemed surprised and it was not easy to surprise Draco Malfoy.

"I love you" I shrugged "I just noticed things" I broke off into a yawn.

"You need to sleep, you were up all night."

"And whose fault is that."

"Just sleep" he chuckled and kissed me softly. I was tired, laying my head on his chest I quickly fell asleep listening to his steady heart beat. My last fault before I fell asleep was This feels so right.

Draco's POV

I held Harry close as he slept, he may have been the sleeping one but I was the one who felt vulnerable. He had grown on me, when we were kids I hated his guts but now being without him was unacceptable. I smirked and ran my fingers through his wild hair tenderly, I didn't let myself show affection openly very often but he was asleep so what could it hurt. I smiled, closing my eyes and relishing in that Harry smell, like open grass and an upcoming rain shower. My eyes snapped open as I heard the door open, footsteps came closer then suddenly stopped.

I looked up and met the eyes of Ginny Potter. No words were spoken between us as her eyes shifted from me to where Harry slept on my chest. Her eyes hardened but then slowly softened into a deep sadness.

"I loved him since before I even started Hogwarts ya know…" she finally whispered, her voice was strained.

"We didn't plan to fall in love." I responded, trying to sound apologetic, sympathetic, something. I wasn't very good with emotions…

"Love?" she looked up to me and I suddenly realized she didn't know. Not truly know, she saw the Prophet and knew about the sex but obviously not how deep this was, she didn't realize that this wasn't a midlife crisis that would end soon. She had no idea.

I nodded "Why don't you sit…we should talk…" I said and this time I didn't have to fake the apology in my voice.

She looked at me, knowing that sitting down would lead to the most painful conversation in her life but instead of leaving like I expected she sat down. I was struck by a wave of admiration, god Potter did change me, admiring a Weasley…but I did see what Harry saw in her. She was pretty and had more bravery then most pureblooded women.

"Don't just stare, talk but don't wake up Harry."

"Yeah, he tends to blubber a when put in the spotlight." I chuckled softly and I saw the corner of her mouth quirk up in a smirk not unlike my own. "What would you like to know about us."

"Do you really love him?"

"Unfortunately yes" I chuckled.

"Why?"

The question caught me off guard, "Why?" I repeated

"Yes, why? You an Ex-Death Eater who tried to hurt or kill Harry more then once. Why the hell should I trust you? Why do you suddenly go from Slytherin Ice Prince to loving my husband."

I flinched when she reminded me that he was married. Damn she was good, maybe I underestimated the red head. "I love him because he understands."

"Understands what exactly"

"What its like. To have to live the life everyone expects of us…"

"What do you mean?" she seemed genuinely interested.

"We were born and raised to do specific things, we never were able to do what we wanted, when we wanted, how we wanted. We put on a path and told to go and not look back. For the first time we're straying from that path, we're both scared."

"A Malfoy admitting he's scared." she crossed her arms.

"When I'm with Harry I'm not a Malfoy and he's not a Potter. We're not Slytherin or Gryffindor. We are just Harry and Draco, two men who love each other." I unconsciously turned my gaze back to sleeping Harry, my arms gently tightening around his waist.

"How did it start?" Ginny asked softly.

"We were talking out on the porch at Christmas Eve and got caught under the mistletoe…I asked him to meet me at the Three Broomsticks. He did and it went from there."

"Does your wife know"

"It was the reason for our divorce but she took it…shockingly well actually. We are still friends."

"Friends?" she asked surprised "How did you remain friends after this?"

"To be honest I don't really know. We just are" I shrugged.

"Does your son know?"

"No…he's probably read the Prophet by now though. He'll probably never talk to me again…"

"It will be hard for Albus and Scorp." Ginny agreed and I paused.

"Wait…Accio Daily Prophet" I said and the newspaper landed in my lap. I picked it up and looked at the picture, it was a bit blurry, just blurry enough. I looked up to Ginny "I have a plan, I need your help."

"What is it?" she asked.

"Look, sooner or later Weasel will wake up and find the Prophet and explode along with the rest of the wizarding world. I know that you're angry and hurt but I know you don't want the whole world and especially your brother in the middle of this. Scorpius looks exactly like me and-"

"And Albus looks like Harry!" Ginny exclaimed "The picture is blurry enough to be able to tell everyone that its Albus and Scorp in the picture! You're a genius!"

"Glad you caught on to that." I chuckled but it faded "There is one problem…"

"We have to tell the boys" She nodded.

"And wake up Harry…"

"Why don't we do that one first." She smirked.

"Good idea…uh, do you want to…"

"He's sleeping on you, that's your job"

I shook Harry lightly "Harry, wake up" he didn't budge so I wapped the side of his head "Potter! Get up!"

"What!" he sat bolt up right and Ginny laughed. Harry paused and looked between Ginny and I then back to Ginny, completely confused. "What did I miss…"

"We have a plan."

"A plan for what…?" he scooted away from me nervously.

"A plan to keep Weasel-"

"Draco" Harry sighed.

"Fine, a plan to keep RON and the rest of the wizarding world out of our business" I finished.

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"Well your wife gave me the idea actually. Ya see this picture is blurry enough to be able to pass us off for Scorp and Albus."

"What! No we ca-"

"Harry, they'll find out from the Prophet anyways." Ginny put a hand on his knee.

"Fine…okay…we need to tell them now thou-"

"DAD!" Albus ran downstairs.

"Something tells me he already found out." Ginny sighed as Albus ran down the stairs.

"What's up with the Prophet toda-" he stopped at the base of the stairs when he saw me sitting on the couch. I gave a little wave. "Dad! What! How could you! Mom!" Albus turned to his mother.

"Honey, owl Scorpius and tell him to come over" Ginny said calmly.

"What? Mom…" Albus trailed off, he was understandably confused and upset.

"Just do it, we'll explain soon." she promised and Albus went back up the stairs.

I took Harry's hand lightly and he squeezed mine softly but we let go quickly, not wanting to make Ginny upset. This was the longest conversation I have had with her but I had quickly grown to admire her. On impulse I reached out and put my hand on her shoulder.

"We will all work this out." I promised gently.

"I think its already been worked out." She sighed.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked confused.

"If I tried to argue what would you do?" Ginny looked up to him.

Harry didn't answer.

"Exactly. I love you but I'm not stupid."

"I never-"

"I know you never thought I was stupid Harry. It will be okay." she took his hands "We will get through this and we will survive. At least until Ron finds out and he will find out eventually."

"Yeah I'm not looking forward to that…" Harry sighed

"We have time since Scorp and Albus will probably help. I cant say I'm happy but I…I understand now I think."

"Gin…" Harry whispered but she just hugged him.

"I know Harry, I love you too" she sighed and he hugged her back.

I felt a bit awkward, at least when Astoria and I ended it we had the privacy of our own home to be alone…Damn Potters never can do things quietly…

Their hug broke and Ginny looked between us.

"I hope you two know the hell you two have brought on yourselves…this wont be easy." She warned truthfully.

"I know" I nodded "We can handle it." I took Harry's hand again. We all looked up as footsteps came down the stairs.

"Scorp and Albus are here." Harry nodded and I sighed. Praying to whoever was out there to make this work.
